If there’s one thing I’ll give 2017 over 2016, it’s that it’s kind of stunning that the year is mostly over?
2016 felt like the year that would never die.
2017 is a hectic nightmare that never slows down enough for you to be aware of the passage of time.
i had a dream about fucking… vampire discourse on tumblr like;
“reminder that blood sucker is a slur”
“vamp-born-vamps are valid if u got bitten later in life you’re not part of the vamp community”
“support vamps who drink human blood, support vamps who drink animal blood, support vamps who drink animal and human blood”
“half bloods who are human presenting don’t belong in the community”
fantasy tumblr would be fucking insufferable
god can you even imagine
“If you only have two legs you’re human-passing and don’t belong in the fantasy community”
“What about satyrs?’
“You can wear shoes”
“Just a reminder that if you appropriate mermaid culture you’re a piece of shit”
“Actually we don’t mind because a lot of our culture comes from humans”
“Shapeshifters aren’t valid because they can be human if they want”
Oh my god it gets worse and worse

Werewolves are still werewolves no matter what form they’re in. We don’t stop being werewolves when we’re in human form, we don’t stop being werewolves when we’re in wolf form. Stop werewolf erasure!
Listen, I’ve been in a committed relationship with a selkie for over ten years. I can tell you that whole hiding-the-pelt-thing is total bullshit. If he wanted to leave he could, I am not holding him hostage. Please, stop spreading this hurtful misinformation.

friendly reminder that “ghost” is a term reserved for noncorporeals. if you’re semicorporeal you’re a poltergeist. stop calling poltergeists ghosts.
destroy the idea that zombies “need” to eat brains
some zombies can’t eat brains due to physical conditions that make them too weak to gnaw through the skull
some zombies can’t digest them
some zombies just don’t like the taste
all of these zombies are STILL VALID

Repeat after me kids: Kelpies do. not. have to look like horses to still be Kelpies. Kelpies who take non-equine forms are JUST AS VALID as the Kelpies who take equine forms. Stop Kelpie purism and erasure.
Friendly reminder that Wendigos are possessed by cannibalistic spirits and can’t actually help their cravings.
Stop judging Wendigos for something they can’t control!

Okay, so a lot of people are complaining about the patronus test, and I have a lot to say about it.
As my loyal followers know, I am very skeptical of the house tests on Pottermore for proper sorting, but when it comes to this patronus test, I’m not skeptical at all.
Here are my reasons:
1. A patronus is supposed to reflect the deepest hidden aspects of yourself, the true raw you. A lot of people have had in mind what their patronus is forever (and that’s totally fine if you want to stick to it) but Jo wrote this test the way she did for a reason. She evidently has studied a lot about the symbolism of these animals. If you feel like on first glance your patronus doesn’t fit you, take a step back and research what the animal actually represents. I feel like it will surprise you.
2. People are complaining that it is timed, and honestly, it is the most brilliant thing she has done yet. That’s one of the problems with the other tests. Them not being timed gives us too much time to overthink. Because this test is about the deeper part of you and your “soul,” for it to be accurate, you have to answer with your initial gut feeling. If you weren’t timed, you wouldn’t answer it strictly from your gut feeling. Period. She made her test more accurate by doing it this way.
3. Yes, if you take it multiple times, you get multiple results because of different questions. That’s how all the tests are. If that wasn’t the case with this test especially, we would all easily get the same results if it was so easily replicable. Jo did us all a favor by trying to make us all feel unique. If you take it multiple times, you have more options to choose from. You’ll know which patronus out of those options feels right and which ones don’t. Just make sure the multiple times you take it, you’re still answering with your gut, not with previous knowledge.
4. She has so many options that it is amazing. Like honestly, she has animals in there that none of us would think of. It makes it so much more unique. I think the test is awesome, personally, and this is coming from someone who is skeptical of the Pottermore test’s accuracy.
5. There are a lot of hidden things we don’t see in ourselves. Like I said above, the patronus shows the parts of you that you don’t see all the time. If you were to get an animal you hate or are afraid of, think about what parts of that animal you don’t like. Is it because you have similar flaws/traits to that animal? Do you not like yourself sometimes? Are you afraid of yourself sometimes? Self-reflection with this really does go a long way. Just think about Remus with his patronus being a wolf. Yes, a wolf is different than a werewolf, but what are the odds that his patronus would be so similar to the condition that gives him grief constantly? A patronus shows the good parts of you, sure, but it also shows you the nitty gritty parts you might not want to accept. There is always bad that comes with the good.
You are all free to have whatever opinion of the test you want, but this is just my opinion. Everything about your identity is still your choice at the end of the day, but I’m just going to say after my rigorous research of all things HP (wands, houses, etc.) this is the only thing I would trust to figure out my patronus.
If you want to message me you can. If you want to look at my past analyses, go here to read about wands and go here to read about MBTI/Houses. If you want to make sure the rest of your wizarding identity is accurate, please read this post.

2016 is a fucking joke cancel it
“Peace, peace. Thank you, Debra, thank you, BET. Thank you Nate Parker, Harry (Belafonte), and Debbie Allen for participating in that. Before we get into it, I just wanna say…you know, I brought my parents out tonight. I just wanna thank them for being here, for teaching me to focus on comprehension over career. That uh, they make sure I learn what the schools were afraid to teach us. And also to thank my amazing wife for changing my life.
Now, this award…this is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country, the activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. Alright?
It’s kind of basic mathematics. The more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize. Now this is also in particular for the black women, in particular, who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and will do better for you.
Now, what we have been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow managed to deescalate, disarm and not kill white people every day. So what’s gonna happen is we are gonna have equal rights and justice in our own country, or we will restructure their function and ours.
Now…I got more, y’all. Yesterday would’ve been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday. So I don’t want to hear anymore about how ‘far we’ve come’ when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12 year old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich.
Tell Rekia Boyd how much better it is to live in 2012 than it is to live in 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Dorian Hunt.
Now the thing is though, all of us in here getting money, that alone isn’t gonna stop this, alright? Now dedicating our lives to getting money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body, when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies. And now we pray to get paid for brands on our bodies?
There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven’t done, there’s no tax they haven’t levied against us and we’ve paid all of them. But freedom is somehow conditional here. “You’re free,” they keep telling us. “But see, she would’ve been alive if she hadn’t acted so…free.“
Now, freedom is always coming in the hereafter. You know what though, the hereafter is a hustle. We want it now. And let’s get it straight, a little sidenote:
The freedom of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That’s not our job. Alright? Stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interests in equal rights for black people, do not make suggestions for those that do. Sit down.
We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, yo. And we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment, like oil, black gold. Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them. Gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit.
The thing is though, just because we’re magic doesn’t meant we’re not real. Thank you.”
