replied to your post “Remember when the first Harry Potter book started with Harry freeing a…”

JK Rowling said that the boa Harry freed was Volfemorts snake Nagini. The Horecrux that Nevlille killed at the end.

Then J.K. Rowling needs to read her own damn books because Nagini is described as a fictional giant green viper and the boa constrictor is a boa constrictor, which is not only not a viper but also isn’t even friggin’ green.

They are very different snakes.

I mean, in the MOVIES they used a python for Nagini, which is closer to a boa constrictor in size and shape, but the books are PRETTY EXPLICIT about Nagini being a VIPER.  A fictional, immense green viper.  A viper so large that it would be KIND OF A BIG DEAL to show up in a muggle zoo because no viper of that size has ever existed.  And the books are likewise clear that the boa constrictor is an ordinary boa constrictor.

I’m saying you’re wrong is the point.  Read the books before you slander the friendly boa constrictor.

Rowling couldn’t imagine the world beyond Britain as being anything unlike Britain, we cant’ expect her to be consistent about an specific snake

THE BOA CONSTRICTOR IS NOT NAGINI IT’S JUST A NICE BOA CONSTRICTOR WHO JUST WANTS TO GO HOME TO BRAZIL

Me consuming media dealing with werewolves: “okay but if you’re gonna lock yourself in that basement during your transformation have you thought of including some enrichment?? How about a treat ball or a frozen Kong?? What are your thoughts on sniffing out treats”

Good god the rampant destruction makes so much more sense now! The wolf has no mental stimulation so its starts destroying things because its BORED.

This is such a good idea!

Also, remember to protein load to avoid ravening. Beef, chicken, fish- whatever, just LOTS OF IT. The change takes a lot out of you, and the wolf will go out hunting for it if you don’t provide. Don’t bother with tofu. It’s no good trying to be a vegetarian by day if you’re a humanitarian by night.

honestly the harry potter fandom is so wild like we’ve all collectively refused to accept cursed child as canon but some college kids tell us hufflepuffs are particularly good finders and we don’t even question it

I didn’t truly get the whole “death of the author” paradigm until I watched the harry potter fandom collectively divorce JKR

#also it’s not just cursed child#it’s also all the slytherin kids branded evil#it’s about ending a series with babies ever after#writing an epilogue designed for baby boomers in a series aimed at millennials#it’s harry naming his kid after two abusers#it’s about claiming dumbledore is gay for Diversity Points#but in a movie series featuring his life#and featuring the one he loved#there won’t be a trace of it#it’s about casting an abuser then making excuses for it#when hp is the story of an abuse survivor#it’s about everything to do with the american magical community#from cultural appropriation to the sheer pain of the term ‘no maj’#sorry rowling#you started us off#but now#our city now

Maybe the gayest reaction I’ve ever had to something was when I was like 14 and reading ‘Twilight’ for the first time, and when Bella first said she was in love with Edward I was like, “what the fuck. Since when? He’s your friend.” I legit thought she was interested in him out of like,,,,,,, professional curiosity smh

I’m gonna write ‘Twilight’ fanfic in which Bella is a lesbian and Edward is gay, and they’re best human/vampire mates who solve murders together. I’m going to change all the character names and publish it under the title ‘Blood Buddies’.

[not]Bella: I know things were probably pretty dire in the 1800s, sex-wise, but you could’ve… I don’t know, been an Oscar Wilde boy toy. You’re pretty enough.

[not]Edward: Do you enjoy this? Do you enjoy causing me pain?

[not]Bella: …you’re the oldest twink in the world. How does that feel?
