*Banging on J.K. Rowling’s door at 3:00 AM* WHAT DID REMUS ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE WHEN HE TRANSFORMED!?
WAS HE THIS
(Movie design that had to be approved.)
(A Pottermore illustration of a werewolf.)
??????
WAS HE THIS:
(Text by on Pottermore.)
(An illustration that appears ON THE SAME PAGE)
????????
AND THEN THERE’S THIS HOT MESS IN THIS PERSON’S COPY OF THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN ILLUSTRATED VERSION (ALSO APPROVED):
WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE, WOMAN!?
THERES A QUESTION ON THE OWL EXAM ASKING TO IDENTIFY A WEREWOLF! OBVIOUSLY THIS THING STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB! IF THERE WAS A PACK OF WOLVES AND THEN THIS THING AND I WAS ASKED TO IDENTIFY WHICH WAS THE WEREWOLF, I DONT THINK ID BE SITTING THERE “uhhhh geeeeee I don’t know…” LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING?! IT LOOKS LIKE A MUTATED HAIRLESS CHIHUAHUA! I HAVE A CHIHUAHUA AND IF I SHAVED HER SHE’D LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS! WHO MADE THIS!? WHO SAID “YES, WEREWOLF, OKAY!”!?!
When the marauders are discussing their OWL exams and the question about werewolves, Peter mentions the rounded snout and tuft tail. This leads me to believe that a werewolf should look, to the untrained eye, LIKE A NORMAL (but maybe larger) WOLF unless you are able to look at the details like the snout and tail (and if you’ve gotten that close, I must ask…how are you still alive? But I digress…)
BUT THIS!!???!!! THIS HAIRLESS CHIHUAHUA FERRET LOOKING THING THATS BEEN STRETCHED IN WILLY WONKA’S TAFFEE PULLER!?! THIS IS NOT A WEREWOLF!!!
Im sorry this has been on my nerves for 14 years o_o
*When his mom said “Stay away from that old Massassi Base, there’s something off about it.” He should have probably listened
*He did not.
*In his defense, it was *right* there and multiple hanger bays were still intact that were just asking to be explored. How was he supposed to know there was a karking Sith Temple underneath it??
*Naga Sadow is a surprisely chill guy (I’m sorry, Freedon Nadd who? Don’t know him), for an ancient half-Sith that’s been in a suspended animation for thousands of years. Turns out he has to be though, since all his mastery of Sith alchemy turned out to be useless when his Massassi slaves abandoned him to the ruins of his temple and all the muscles in his body atrophied due to improper care. Of course he’s gonna be chill to the kid that wakes him up. Who else is gonna get him OUT OF HERE.
*Poe does not take him out.
*Sadow eventually comes to the conclusion that he might die here. Time to train an apprentice.
*Poe is a terrifyingly good Sith. He’s even more terrifyingly good at *hiding* it. Natural shielding ability to die for. Even when Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker themselves visit, they never notice it.
*Ben Solo does, though, when Luke brings his apprentice by. It’s subtle, but he knows. Poe can tell. He almost decides to kill Solo over it, until he reaches out in the Force and sees that there’s darkness in him, too. A little smudge of it. So Poe goes *shrug* might as well just leave it.
*Ben ends up following him back to Naga Sadow. Promptly demands to know what’s going on, Naga says the impolite Sith equivalent of ‘fuck you’, and Ben kills him.
*This was the first moment Poe Dameron realized that Ben Solo was an asshole.
*They both come to the mutual understanding that Luke and Leia don’t need to know about this. They part ways, and some years later Poe hears about how Ben slaughtered all the students at Luke Skywalker’s School for Gifted Youngsters. He isn’t surprised.
*After Naga’s death, Poe is at a loss. He’s technically a Sith Lord now by default? What’s he supposed to do? Take over the galaxy? Go see if there are some more Sith in other temples around?
*He decides, fuck it. Might as well join the Resistance. He thinks Leia is cool anyway. His parents did it, why not him?
*But there is the problem of his lightsaber. He doesn’t want to leave it, but he can’t have it on his belt. So he gets a little droid that’ll carry it for him. BB-8 is the best companion a Sith Lord could ever ask for.
*That awkward moment when he’s caught by the First Order and has to awkwardly act like he couldn’t kill them all with a thought. Ben shows up, and he’s Kylo the Wannabee Not-Sith now. Attempts to pry stuff out of Poe’s mind. Poe almost dies laughing because he *sucks at it*. It’s like someone trying to dig through a duracrete wall with a rubber shovel.
*Kylo finally gives up, goes off to stew. Makes sure to put a Force dampener on Poe so he won’t escape, Poe is like ‘Well great’ when a RESCUER shows up. And Poe didn’t even have to Mind Trick him!
*And oh kark, his rescuer is cute.
*He’s **really** cute.
*Shit, Poe has a crush. Shit. Shit! Are Sith Lords supposed to have crushes? Oh eff.
Ok but give a droid a lightsaber and they figure out how to use it 😂 Artoo would be proud
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for standing up for Pop, and all the shit she got. Honestly, after being a victim of fandom rage (changed account after that lmao), I have the hives everytime someone mentions it.
So thanks for doing the right thing, instead of the easy one.
Whether or not it is a joke, I’ve gone onto the channel and there are multiple videos similar to this, which makes me think they’re fake.
Doesn’t matter.
These videos enforce the idea to parents that yes, the answer to stop your child becoming obsessed with games is to DESTROY them.
No. This is not funny. It is things like this that cause events such as the father who SHOT his daughter’s laptop to bits to occur. These jokes enforce the attitude that people are ‘wrong’ for loving games.
For wanting to play games.
For some people (including myself), games are a serious escape from horrid realities. The only escape some people can get. The idea that this man (boy?) is wrong for being so upset is disgusting to me?
This is horrific. This is abuse. This is wrong.
This is a sure fire way to get your kids to hate you.
do people not understand how much video games cost?
Video games are a multi-billion dollar business. Some people are good at it. Very good. Do not squander your child’s talents, help them realize them and strengthen them. There are other ways to get your child outside without destroying their games and everything they work for. This won’t solve anything; this will only set them back further.
do this to your childs anything and they will automatically hate you/not trust you
It doesn’t matter what it is
It doesn’t matter if its their video games or if its their smoking pipe
If you just destroy it/throw it away, you are giving no explanation as to why it’s bad/you don’t want them to have it
This can actually psychologically mess a kid up because you teach them that if someone doesn’t like something, they should destroy it
That can lead to some serious problems with socializing with others and other things
dont do that to people
dont
I had a notebook I used to write in all the time. I did that thing that Margo did in Paper Towns where she criss crossed her writing, but I did it so I’d have enough room to write everything. I took it everywhere wtih me and wouldn’t let my parents even start the car unless I had in in my lap. My dad got really annoyed by this and said I needed to throw the notebook away, what was written in it wasn’t important anyway (it was to me, very much so). So one day he took and ran it through the paper shredder. Ever since I’ve had an intense fear of losing my notebooks and currently have a colletion of 53 blank notebooks and 16 that have been written in because I’ve started hoarding them. Long story short, don’t fucking do this to your kids. You think it’s harmless and some people even think it’s clever, but you’re really just an asshole and are causing actual psychological problems for your children.
I have a plush rabbit that I’ve had since Easter of the year I was born (I was about 2 months old when I got it). It quickly became a comfort thing for me and I used to go everywhere with it as a child. When my mum and dad split up was when I became kind of dependent on having it around. If ever I did anything wrong mum always threatened to take it away from me, which obviously caused my 6-year-old self to kick and scream and cry because I needed it. One day I lost it for 6 or 7 months (turns out it was in my room the whole time but shh it was very well hidden & neither myself or my mum know how it got there) That was the point that my mum realised she couldn’t threaten to take it away because holy shit I changed so much in those months.
Seriously, if your child is dependent on something, or takes great comfort in having it around DO NOT TAKE IT FROM THEM. It does not matter how old your child is, what their comfort item is, if it’s a video games console – don’t take it from them. If it’s their phone – don’t take it from them. If they’re 18 and still sleep with a teddybear – don’t take it from them.
This also goes for if your child is self-harming. If they have a blade in their bedroom and you find it DO NOT THROW IT OUT. Talk to them about it, be as supportive as you can, but do not think “oh well if I get rid of it they’ll be fine”. It can be seriously distressing and also lead to them becoming creative with what they use.
Getting a job and becoming an active member of society is important, but this is not the way to get your kid to do so. As others have previously stated, this is how to get your kid to hate you.Have a problem with your kids? Talk. To. Them.
Don’t make fun of them for the thing they’re dependent on. You cause them to feel shame for having something they like or trust. That’ll screw them up and give them trust issues. You’ll take away their fight and bet them down. I’m dependent on certain habits and things and my family makes fun of me for it. It leaves me a nervous wreck because those habits aren’t continued out of shame and fear of more judgement and teasing. Encourage your kid to not be dependent on things since things come and go but don’t you dare make fun of them for it or take it away. Got it?
he’s a kid. Kids have all the time in the world to enjoy video games, and most slowly grow out of or learn to enjoy them in moderation after high school. I also wonder how many of the parents who support this mindset are fine with the idea of their child smashing their brain-cells to a viscus paste in Junior athletics?
My Dad used to take my Pokemon cards when I was younger and he would rip them one by one, every time he would try to find my rarest most treasured cards and destroy them.
He would Gleefully exclaim “it’s ripping time” every time I crossed him slightly.
I still haven’t forgotten or forgiven, destroying your kids possessions is a sure fire way to make your child resent you and hold a grudge against you.
Mum ripped her copy of Waiting to Exhale in two because she caught me reading it as a kid, shouting “this is not a good book!”
I remember being very confused.
Also, we had Robocop on VHS at the time. Still do.
doubling back on the “if you find a blade” comment:
if you find things that would harm your kid, definitely talk it out, don’t try to just throw it away and hope for the best.
You know what your kid will do? Become better at lying and hiding things from you.
There are a few people commenting or reblogging with “Relax! This was scripted! That makes it okay!” And occasionally: “Besides, I think it’s funny!”
I don’t CARE if it was scripted. This isn’t funny. It wouldn’t be funny if it was a scripted video of a guy beating his girlfriend for messing up dinner, either.
Because abuse isn’t funny.
The punch line here is literally “hahaha, people experience pain when you destroy their things!” That’s a shitty joke.
abuse jokes are shitty and the unfunniest thing ever.
Only bullies think they’re funny.
I was told once that I’m half sunshine, half storm
that I can change the universe with my faith
that I can challenge the rules with my will
and the stars that I spend eons writing about
they don’t carry a fraction of what I can do
because I was born a miracle
and I was born a warrior
and those parts of me still rest inside in my bones
so yes, I am made up of blood and of stories and most of all of courage
you will never be able to shackle me to the ground
because I
I was made to fly, I was made to conquer
so that’s what I’ll do
So the original mile or “Roman mile” used to be exactly 5,000 feet; the word mile itself comes from mille passus, “one thousand paces,” with one passus standardized as five feet. Pretty important stuff when you remember the Roman legions were almost all foot soldiers, so measuring things in the length of an average solider’s stride made sense. They also used a unit called the stade, which was one-eighth of a mile or 625 feet.
Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, measured land distances with units called furlongs, which literally means “furrow-long”, assumed to be the length of a furrow in a farm field. (This was derived from the acre, defined as “about how much one person with one ox can plow in one day,” but turning the plow was such a bitch that an acre tended to be about ten times longer than it was wide.) One furlong was 660 feet.
Anyway, at some point the English started translating the Latin word stade as furlong without worrying overmuch about the thirty-five-foot different between the units. (The length of a foot also changed at some point, for extra nonsense). And when it finally became time to standardize the measures, the length of a furlong couldn’t be changed to fit a Roman mile because so many land titles were defined in furlongs, it would have created legal havoc. Instead, the English mile was invented, consisting of eight furlongs or 5,280 feet.
I am not defending the nonsense that is English measurements I am just saying that “fruit-related riddles” doesn’t get at the full scope of their nonsense.
One of my neighbors had a REALLY FAT golden retriever she adopted, that needed to be put on a diet, but even super-low-cal food wasn’t working, becuase Ella was still hungry and would open the cabinet to eat the whole bag. Vet suggested that she needed a filler Food so she could feel full without the extra calories, and suggested canned green beans, which are mostly fiber and lean protein.
Ella fucking LOVES green beans. She does a dance for them if you mention them. Her ‘sibling’ the police academy washout shepherd, thinks she’s insane.
Even if your pet doesn’t like green beans*, offering them a canned green bean is inevitably HILARIOUS becuase they’ll either be thrilled or otherwise make strange faces. Results so far:
Ella (golden retriever): Overjoyed. gets up on her hind legs to dance without prompting.
Sampson (Black shepherd): Offended, yells until you give him REAL treats.
Cody (Gentleman shepherd): is concerned, becuase this is Obviously Not Food. Gently takes it to be polite, leaves it out in the yard.
Minx (Domestic Shorthair cat): Smelly Toy Is Hilarious, batted under the couch.
Tiger (Really Fat Domestic Shorthair cat): Total disgust, hissing and sulking in the Prosciutto box. Came out and ate it later anyway.
Wanda (corn snake) we didn’t expect her to be interested but she spent like three minutes licking it.
Sadie AKA Marquis De Sade (Hyacinth Macaw) ignored bean in favor of dumping can on the floor, sticking head in can and screaming. Did not attempt to bite, which is Very Nice for her.
Arwen (Australian Kelpie): ate bean, waited until humans were out of the room to consume rest of the can, got costco-sized can stuck on face and pooped green for three days. Regets nothing.
Empanada/Anderson Cooper/#3 (Plymouth Hens): Excited screaming, kickboxing tournament over possession of beans/can. #3 was ultimately victorious, becuase She is Fattest.
Big Angus (scottish highland cow, I know, ironic): very polite and delicate acceptance of beans for appx 1700 lbs of beef, will now run full-tilt across pasture to meet me, which scared the crap out of me tbh.
Will post further updates as I am allowed to try.
*Please always cionsult a vet before making any dietary changes or offering your pet new foods, but green beans are pretty safe for most pets you can keep in America
Gave cockatiel bean. He gently took it, threw it into my face, and laughed at me
Literally every time someone has tried this with a parrot of some kind, it’s resulted in rage, destruction or mockery, usually all three.
