As someone who headcanons Harry Potter to be of Indian descent it pleases me to think that his name is actually Hari, and that Aunt Petunia just Anglicized it because foreigners.
According to the interwebs, ‘Hari’ is a Sanskrit name meaning… Lion.
So yeah. Hari the mixed race savior of the Wizarding World.
Brown Hindu person here:
Hari is actually another name for Vishnu one of the three main gods in Hinduism. His job is protection. And he often comes down to Earth in different forms to save the world when the balance of good and evil is slipping.
Hari Puther, incarnation of Vishnu, protector of fucking everyone.
This is beautiful, and gives the whole thing new context. I love it.
Random Headcanon: Link’s androgyny isn’t just an artefact of the Zelda franchise’s art direction – and neither is it particularly unusual. Sexual dimorphism among Hylians is legitimately much lower than among real-world humans; if Link and Zelda swapped clothes, you’d never be able to tell who was the girl and who was the boy.
Consequently, Hylian society depends heavily on clothing to establish gender roles, to the extent that it’s a severe faux pas to question someone’s gender presentation. If they’re dressed like a girl, then they’re a girl – even if they were dressed like a boy yesterday. That’s why nobody ever remarks upon the fact that Zelda and her heroic alter-ego Sheik are different genders; it’d be gauche at best to bring it up.
Good post op
explains why i can be banned from gerudo town, change clothes in front of the guards, and then be welcomed with open arms
friendly reminder that tyrande and malfurion both treated illidan horribly, and only let him out bc he was useful.
illidan deserved better
they also enchanted the prison to heal his wounds. he tried to kill himself to end his torture and he couldn’t.
not to mention his cell was like..8 yards wide i think?
they’re both trash
I can’t say for prior lore, but in the book it’s worse- only nine steps from one end of the chamber to the other (presumably no more between the remaining walls). He would walk the nine steps, counting them in his head, a lot. And that persisted as a sort of tick for the rest of the book- him counting nine steps and turning around, to count nine more, or finally respond to someone.
On the very first page of the book, it says what I always thought: “They should have killed him. It would have been kinder. Instead they let him live, pretending it was mercy.“ and goes on to mention how that decision was only made so Malfurion and Tyrande could “feel better about themselves”– as though that level of cruelty and neglect is in any way forgivable
I honestly can’t decide if I identify with Crowley or Aziraphale more because. On one hand I too am a neurotic mess that raises houseplants and worries too much about being cool and constantly fucks up but wants people to love me. And on the other hand, I too am testy and wish humans would leave me alone so I could read and love food so much I would be willing to try and stop the apocalypse so I could continue eating.
Okay here’s the thing – having never read Good Omens I honestly cannot tell which of these is the demon and which of these is the angel
that’s honestly so incredible like that’s kind of the point of good omens tbh
