This is fascinating. I kind of wonder why these don’t tend to get as much coverage as murders by men. My first instinct is gender stereotyping, but I’m not sure if the answer is that simple.
I will note that most of these are not related to rejecting romantic advances, which was the point made by the original poster; nevertheless, that doesn’t mean they aren’t a problem.
shocking
... What did you do?
“Are you making sandwiches again?”
“Yes, Captain America has LEGS!”
I do not understand this “male privilege" bullshit.
What. Fucking. Privileges. Do. Men. Have.???????
Name them. I swear, I challenge you to name these “male privileges" and be able to prove them.
Come on, I fucking dare you.
Name them!
I have officially committed to a college!
I’m fairly certain that Bernie has never tried to kill Hillary. Then again, my Latin teacher said that our only primary source for Cateline’s actions is Cicero’s speeches, which are not exactly going to be the most trustworthy in this scenario.
au where the Romans make political memes
Okay, muggleborn headcannons are adorable. But can we take a moment to appreciate their poor parents?
Desperately trying to find a book about how to raise your kid who is all of a sudden a witch/wizard.
Trying to explain to the neighbors why your kid suddenly has an owl/toad for a pet and spends an excessive amount of time polishing that ancient broom out on the back porch.
Debating if it’s better to try and wash robes in the sink or just risk taking them to the laundromat.
Having to clean out their trunks when they get home from school because Merlin knows what the hell you will find in there.
Trying to keep any younger siblings from telling random strangers on the street that their big brother/sister is a wizard/witch.
Showing up to Diagon Alley for the first time and holy shit what the hell is all of this honey please make a friend with witch/wizard parents so they can tell us what to do.
Galleons? Knuts?
WHY IS YOUR TEXTBOOK TRYING TO ATTACK ME?!
Trying to explain to grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins why they can’t attend visitors day at the child’s new boarding school.
Having to come up with a whole new system of rules to deal with anything magical.
Standing awkwardly outside platform 9 ¾ and waiting for another wizarding family to show them what to do.
Learning that the main wizard sport, which your child is determined to participate in, involves riding around on a thin little stick a hundred or more feet in the air while moving at excessive speeds.
Getting letters from your kid after their first night demanding you come pick them up because there is no wifi and THEY SAID IF WE WENT TO THE FOURTH FLOOR WE WOULD DIE.
Seriously. Muggle Parents of Witches/Wizards are adorable. I just have this picture of them rushing out to Diagon Alley after the representative from whatever school visits them to tell them about their kid and they just buy every book they can get their hands on to figure out what the hell they’re supposed to do now.
I haven’t seen a lot of posts that shed some positivity for non-binary Muslims who wear the hijab – I personally sometimes feel it’s frustrating that people see hijabi non-binary people as “female” just because the hijab is an obligation for women. My hijab does not define my gender; only my obligation to my God and my religion!
Shoutout to all non-binary hijabi Muslims out there; you are valid and Allah loves you, insya-Allah!
How come we never learned about this in History? (Probably for the same reason my Language Arts teacher tried to convince us Sappho was straight...)
Do you guys understand that when Hephaistion (the best friend and lover of Alexander the Great) died, Alexander cried for two days and gave him one of the most expensive funerals in history and had the sacred flame at the temple extinguished (which was usually only done for a king). And then he went to the oracle and asked if Hephaistion could be worshipped as a god, and the oracle said no, and Alexander said screw you we’re gonna worship him anyway. And then Alexander himself died like a month later, just as he’d said he would if he ever lost Hephaistion. Literally, you can’t write a better love story than that, so don’t tell me that kind of devotion only happens in the fictional world.
