This video calls me out to an unbelievably personal level because literally all the points explained are correct and relatable for me
This is the kind of mindset that causes parents and caregivers to kill their disabled kids. This ableist prick is mad because mommy and daddy gave his brother more attention. It all boils down to I want mommy to pay attention to me not my brother who has special needs. This is why I hate Reddit it’s a cesspool of ableism.
Now here’s the thing, people can’t really help how they feel. That part is true. But because people can’t help how they feel, they however can help how they think, and they can help how they act. The actions of this person, by posting in a forum and wishing he was never born, calling their brother a waste of space, show what they truly are like. While their feelings on the matter can’t be helped, at the end of the day disabilities hurt the people affected by them more than anyone else. This is definitely the mentality that gets disabled kids killed. As an adult, they should be able to put aside their feelings and think about things from their brother’s perspective. They should be able to try to get any help they need to sort out any issues they still have. The fact that they didn’t shows what kind of person they are truly.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again since no-one has yet given me a valid reason as to why James Potter, lacking a wand, didn’t just transform into Prongs when Voldy turned up and like… fucking spear him. Why didn’t he do that? Like I don’t care how astonishingly powerful a dark wizard he was, no-one could ever be prepared for walking into a house and there’s just… a massive fuck off stag staring you down? How could you possibly react to that?
You couldn’t, giving said stag the opportunity to put an antler through his eye and save the day. Not to mention, can you imagine the Prophet headlines if that was how it’d gone down?
Valid reason coming your way….
You need a wand to assume your Animagus form.
You definitely don’t… Sirius did it in Azkaban.
Aha good point then yeah he should have impaled that motherfucker
He was unregistrated, right? I mean.. sure, he would have killed the dark lord, but still, it’s a crime. And then there’s the fact that the others were animagi too, which would lead to them being exposed and most certainly being accused of not getting themselves a registration. Their connections to Remus would be obvious, and I think he’d be exposed too. We all learned about the problems lycantrophy causes, and I don’t think James would have been stupid enough to risk that his best friend lost everything.
To be fair, you try telling the guy who FUCKING IMPALED Voldemort that he had to go to jail for being unregistered.
Also, it’s the ministry of magic. You could literally say that someone had created a stag by whatever means, and they’d buy it.
Another superlative point—"Where did the stag—yes, it was definitely a stag not a deer note that down please—where did it come from you ask? Oh, absolutely haven’t the foggiest Mister Minister Sir—it was just sort of there. Passing through I suppose.“
”…Passing through.“
“Yes.”
“Through your hallway.”
“Yes.”
“And stabbed Voldemort through the eye.”
“Through the eye, yes, and right through the brain: ghastly stuff, Minister, felt absolutely horrid.”
“It felt horrid?”
“I mean… I imagine so.”
“… right. And where did this deer go?”
“Oh, it vanished, Sir, quite spontaneously.”
“…uhuh. So the stag just wandered into your home, skewered a dark wizard, disapeared, and you saw neither where it came from nor where it went.”
“That’s about the size of it, yes.”
“… Yeah okay that sounds legit job done lads.”
Also you cannot tell me that James Potter gave two shits about whether or not it was illegal
You can’t tell me that Lily wouldn’t say, with a completely straight face, that it was a surprisingly solid Patronus.
James’ best class was Transfiguration. “I made a stag from the coat stand.”
“Oh, of course. Excellent job, sir.”
also the potters were a powerful house who could totally bribe their way out of azkaban. but given that he’d just killed voldemort, even if he couldn’t come up with an alternate excuse it wouldn’t have been a big deal. plus even if it would have been, that was his wife and child- he would have risked it.
so I was halfway out of a nap and thinking about wildlife rehabilitation but then I started drifting back into whatever dream I was having and apropos of nothing I thought to myself “clown rehabilitation,” complete with a mental image of releasing clowns back into the forest, and I woke up completely and couldn’t go back to sleep
Thank you for sharing becuase Now I’ve become posessed by the concept of what the Donations mailers for Clown Rehabilitation Center would look like- Pictures of a Clown undergoing a life-saving Nose Transplant, sucess stories about releasing rehabilitated clowns to thier natural habitat and rising clown numbers in the wild, warnings not to touch ‘abandoned’ baby clowns as they’re probably just fleging and the Parent Clowns are Nearby.
Comes with a dubious use of font and royalty-free confetti images, with an enclosed mailer to send you check or cash back to the org, and a reminder of the upcoming public outreach event where you can get your pic taken with thier unreleasable “ambassador clowns”.
The hobbits invent a fun game called ‘how close can we get to our friends before they notice us’
easy mode: Gimli (makes a lot of noise himself, very easy to sneak up on)
medium mode: Boromir (challenging enough to be great fun)
hard more: Aragorn (VERY attentive to his surroundings)
expert mode: Legolas
it takes them a LONG time to get Legolas but Frodo eventually manages it and it’s magnificent
Legolas: *sitting around minding his own business*
Frodo: *two inches from his ear* hi Legolas what’s up
Legolas: ANDAGNDOAHGDLKHNKDLFHLKFDANGLKFDAGN????? *backflips to his feet in confusion*
*cue the rest of the fellowship losing their fucking minds*
after that he’s onto them and they never manage it again
