no greek god is inherently and wholly “good” or “bad” because they were all flawed and imperfect in some way with different facets of personality and character to serve as a reflection of society and human nature itself

Hogwarts First Year House Intros

Gryffindor: “Listen up everyone! We are the brave and the bold! We will fight through all manners of obstacles to win, win, win! Nothing can stop us! YOLO!”

Ravenclaw: “We are the house that is known to be the smartest, so get you shit together and represent. Keep those grades sky high and we won’t have a problem. Alright, first step on our tour is the library…”

Hufflepuff: “Okay, so while the ‘free hugs’ movement fliers are being passed out, welcome! We have freshly baked cookies for everyone!”

Slytherin: “Okay, first thing’s first: we have a bad reputation and others will treat you as such so get used to it. Focus on yourselves and achieving your ambitions. Second,” *points dramatically at the Hufflepuffs enjoying their cookies* “those precious Puffs must be protected at all costs! If anyone does anything to hurt them in any form, you fuck their shit up so bad Madam Pomfrey can’t do anything. If you learn anything while you’re here, it’s that Puffs are the only sacred thing in this godforsaken place and must be protected from the evils of this world.”

Slytherin: Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that just sounds nice and cozy, but if I invite you to my cabin in the woods, you’re gonna die.

Gryffindor: My favorite is explaining the difference between a “butt dial” and a “booty call.”

Ravenclaw: It’s called connotations.

Slytherin: Try this one for size: “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned” or “Sorry daddy, I’ve been naughty”

Ravenclaw: Great news! Language is now banned.

The Houses as Nice Sounds

Ravenclaw: Rain pounding on the windows. Book pages being turned. The world underwater. A heart beating. The flutter as cards are shuffled. Piano music. The whisper of the wind.

Gryffindor: Fire crackling. A cat purring. The pop as a cork is removed from a bottle. Thunder. High heels tapping against tile floors. Birdsong. The roaring crescendo of applause.

Slytherin: Waves crashing against the sand. Fresh snow crunching underfoot. Whale song. Coins clinking against each other. Ice cubes in a glass. Old music. The silence right after a storm.

Hufflepuff: Laughter. Leaves rustling in the breeze. The soft murmur of a stream. Bumblebees buzzing. Stones skipping across a lake. Bubbles popping. The final note before a song fades away.

So they found this adorable little dinosaur called Anchiornis

See those feathers? The skeleton they found was so well-preserved that scientists were able to examine the pigment cells in the feathers and compare them to those of modern day birds.

And they were able to do this with such accuracy that they know the coloration of this dinosaur. In life it looked something like this.

It just baffles me that we know the color patterns of an animal that has been dead for 161 million years

They found a prehistoric chicken that wears adidas swear pants my god

@gallusrostromegalus I feel like if I don’t tag you in the Adidas slav Dino-chicken it would be a crime somehow.

Here’s how the Walt Disney Company wants to treat its employees.

My source is a Facebook post that’s being circulated by representatives from the Cast Members’ Union.

On May 1, 2018 – for the first time since September 2017 – the Company entered the room to negotiate with the Union. They’ve put two options on the table.

Option 1: the exact same offer that 93% of voting Cast Members rejected back in December 2017.

Each Cast Member would receive the thousand dollar tax cut bonus that the Company already promised them, but only if they settle an unsustainably low raise (fifty cents per hour).

Option 2: the Cast Members will receive a more sustainable raise, but at the cost of renegotiating a bunch of really important Union rights.

This option is spelled out in a thirty-eight page proposal. It has a few ups, but a lot more downs.

• By 2021, the lowliest Cast Members would be paid fifteen dollars an hour. Higher-paid Cast Members would either get a seventy-five cent raise or a three percent raise, whichever is higher.
• All Cast Members would finally receive the bonus that the Company promised them.
• In the event of a massive closure – like during a hurricane – the Company would pay Cast Members for up to five days of missed shifts. (Currently, the Company isn’t contractually obligated to pay them anything.)

THAT SAID

• The Company would no longer have to pay overtime rates to Cast Members who are scheduled for fewer than five days a week. Tough luck, part-timers!
• The Company would get rid of sixth-day overtime and seventh-day doubletime altogether. So if you work for that brutal and exhausting amount of time, you would be rewarded with regular pay.
• The Company would stop the Union from having a say in how Cast Members are scheduled altogether.
• The Company would change transfer guidelines. A Cast Member would have to wait a full year before transfering to a new location. (Currently it’s six months.)
• The Company would only allow Cast Members to transfer to a new location if they have two attendance entries and no reprimands. (Currently it’s five attendance entries and one reprimand.)
• The Company would be allowed to transfer Union Shop Stewards to other locations upon whim. The Shop Steward wouldn’t have a say in the matter.
• The Company would no longer have to reimburse a Cast Member who takes a leave of absence due to civil or criminal charges, even if the Cast Member is found Not Guilty. (It shouldn’t matter either way, but still.)
• The Company would no longer be required to have a Shop Steward present when Management calls a Cast Member in for disciplinary reasons.
• Currently, Cast Members can clock in fifteen minutes before their shift starts and clock out fifteen minutes after it ends. The Company would reduce that to five minutes, before and after.
• If a Cast Member has a grievance that can’t be resolved by an Area Manager or a General Manager, the Company would no longer have to send a higher-ranking representative to resolve it. The grievance would just go unresolved.
• The Company would only provide Holiday Pay to Cast Members who have worked the day before the holiday, the day of the holiday, AND the day after the holiday.
• The Company would place a cap on the number of hours of Vacation Time and Sick Time that a Cast Member can accrue. (Currently it’s based on the number of hours that the Cast Member works, but the Company wants to base it on the number of hours paid up to 1,800 hours.)
• The Company would no longer be required to have a Shop Steward present for Scheduling Bids and Vacation Bids.
• The Safety Committee is a forum where Cast Members can voice safety concerns in their work area to Management. The Labor/Management Committee is a forum where Shop Stewards can voice their concerns to Management.
The Company would combine these two Committees, and diminish the Union’s representation in them.
• The Company would now be allowed to subject Cast Members to random drug testing at any time, for any drug, without even notifying the Union first.
• The Company would no longer allow Cast Members to speak one-on-one with Union Representatives while on the clock. Not backstage. Not during a break. Nothing.
• The Company would no longer allow the Union to contact Cast Members directly at all. They’d have to do it via mail or solicitation letters.
• The Company would no longer allow the Union to contact Non-Union Cast Members at all.
• The Company would allows Cast Members to join the Union without paying monthly dues. This would de-fund the Union, which would basically kill it altogether.
• The Company wouldn’t be required to negotiate another contract with its Cast Members until 2022 (assuming the Cast Members still have a Union to advocate on their behalf).

TL;DR?

CAST MEMBERS: We want to be paid fifteen dollars an hour (which wasn’t even a living wage back in 2015), and we want the bonus you promised us.

THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY:

Jesus fuck. I love the things the people at Disney and the companies resources can create but fucking hate the company itself. Some of these terms are just pure evil.

Please spread this. Disney fans especially. People need to know how this company is treating its employees. The world needs to put pressure on Disney to treat its Cast Members right.

Hi, I wanted to check out the Sortings for the Baudelaires but it directed me to Glee. Also, could you please sort the Disney Princes or the characters of Once Upon A Time?

The Prince - Hufflepuff

Snow White’s prince is a dainty man, he sings to woo his lady, he feels careful about scaring her and won’t overstep his boundaries. He feels loyalty to her to save her at the end of her film with a gentle kiss before he returns to mourning her with the rest of the dwarves, only to realize HE is the one who has saved her. He’s patient with her and knows Snow will be ready for him at a later date, and is willing to wait to see her again, he’s kind enough to duet with her and not overshadow her lovely voice and he also accepts Snow entirely, for who she is. 

Prince Charming - Hufflepuff

Charming is truly a Prince, in a stereotypical way. He goes to lavish balls, lives in a grand palace and yawns at all the beautiful women put before him because he can see they aren’t the right woman for him (though yawning is a little rude, dude). But he’s humble enough to fall for the woman who gets lost, is late, has no title and who shows him kindness at the first glance. He shows the dedication to find his dream runaway girl, and also keeps his promise to marry her. He’s patient, in his wait (as it could have been anything from 24 hours to find her to weeks!) and values are his new wife’s previous life of hard work, patience, and loyalty to her abusive family. And Hufflepuff’s are very good finders, after all! He just needs a better memory and to ask for names before you start dancing!

Prince Phillip - Gryffindor

Phillip I think, is a cookie cutter Gryffindor. Honestly who else would randomly start singing and dancing with someone in the middle of the forest? You have to have real guts to go up to a true stranger, and attempt to woo them! He will do anything for the love he feels for the ‘peasant girl’, knowing he’s meant to be betrothed to the princess, and is willing to defy his royal duty and father’s orders to do what he wants with his life. The prince also escaped a castle, cut down countless thorns and brambles, battled a dragon, defied Maleficent and that is brave, reckless and chivalrous to no end. He doesn’t even come up with a plan! For being a true old timey prince I sort Philip into Gryffindor!

Prince Eric - Hufflepuff

Prince Eric isn’t exactly an easy sort, but I have to go with Hufflepuff. Prince Eric is kind to every person he meets, but he is sort of oblivious to when others need him. Eric enjoys the little things in life; a day on a boat, a pretty girl, and a big castle. The problem with Eric is though he does have loyalty, it sometimes isn’t the loyalty others expect. He has to be a Hufflepuff! 

Beast - Gryffindor

Beast is Gryffindor™. He’s arrogant, thinks he’s the one in the right and boy what a temper. But as the story progresses we can see chivalry ranks high on his list of virtues. Along with being self-sacrificing and being willing to do just about anything for Belle, he is incredibly reckless and daring. I mean who fights without thinking on a roof? And as a chivalrous act, I present to you, letting Gaston live even if the guy was a prick. For his daring, nerve and chivalry I sort Beast into Gryffindor!

Aladdin - Slytherin

The diamond in the rough. This little thief belongs in Slytherin and that is that. From a young age, Aladdin learned that in order to survive he has to do everything he can. And for stealing in a place like the market of Agrabah? You need to be as cunning and sly as can be. If he was caught the guards would cut off his hands. Al has wanted to live in the palace and he was sure that someday he will. That ambition. You can see his cunning and manipulative nature in many examples. The best two are the time he first meets Genie and cons him into saving them all from the Cave of Wonders, without using a wish. And the second instance was when he convinced Jafar to wish himself to become a genie. That was the only way Aladdin could defeat him. Because phenomenal cosmic powers resulted in an itty bitty tiny space. At the end of the movie, it was shown that Genie wanted Al to wish to become a prince again, but Aladdin made a promise to use the last wish to free his friend. That determination to keep a promise strikes me like something a Slytherin would do. While he used all the means necessary to get where he wanted to be, he gave his word and he would rather find another way than go back on his word. After all this and more I sort Laddi into Slytherin.

John Smith - Ravenclaw / Gryffindor

Ravenclaw: John Smith is the ultimate stud of his group of men, everyone knows that when John does something it is the right thing. Despite John’s undeniable bravery, his other qualities are what leads him. When John first meets Pocahontas, instead of shooting her like he normally, it is his job. John lets his curiosity get the best of him, and stop him from doing his job. John Smith is intelligent, and know’s that if he gets his men to see that Pocahontas’ people mean the best and that John’s people also mean the best, other than the governor. His Ravenclaw(ness) is truly proven when he takes the shot for Pocahontas’ dad. John Smith knew that Pocahontas would never be able to truly fall in love with him unless she had her fathers blessing. He also knew that Pocahontas’ father had found a way to make this work, and had been extremely kind to him. John also knew that Pocahontas’ dad would never survive if he stayed, and he would never leave. John Smith could survive a shot, but other’s could not. Ultimately John uses his curiosity, creativity, and intelligence to help him make the decisions he does. -Abigail

Gryffindor: John has no desire to learn, he’s in it for the money and the glory! He is in it for the adventure he’ll have, and to be the courageous first person to find the ‘savages’ and kill one, not to learn about his new environment. He breaks the rules that are meant to keep him safe at night (no Ravenclaw would break logical rules in such a rash way, at least they’d take another person with them) to be a badass, for the sake of it, and he finds it immensely difficult to accept a talking tree and that he could love someone who isn’t from England, while a Ravenclaw could use creativity and logic to realise that he’s just trying to comprehend something else. -Star

Li Shang -Ravenclaw

Li Shang is an icon, following in his father’s footsteps. For me, Shang’s defining moment is when despite the guidance of others, he decides to let Mulan survive. The decision is logical, she saved my life, it doesn’t matter if she is a woman, she saved my life, I’ll save hers. Though Shang showed an increment of kindness to Mulan by letting her survive, he doesn’t treat her with kindness again until he realises her immense intelligence and that she had been telling the truth. Shang is logical and very wise making him a Ravenclaw!

Prince Naveen - Slytherin

Another Prince™. Naveen has had his life handed to him on a silver platter all his life, and he’s never learned to chop vegetables or gain any real-life skills. I mean, it’s all well and good to play guitar, but when you’re a prince, I imagine they likely expect more of you than that. He’s ambitious, to want to be a guitar player (that doesn’t come easy!) , he is resourceful, in using his charm to convince Tiana to kiss him, knowing it is likely the only way he’ll get a kiss and a chance at his old life back, which also shows his cunning. To impress his love, he also learns to mince, even though he finds it difficult at first, which shows off his determination at doing what he wants if he puts his mind to it, and he wants to look after himself first. He lied to Tiana about having oodles of cash to save her restaurant, just to protect himself and turn himself human again, so he could go after his dream life with very little regard for what Tiana wanted. 

Eugene Fitzherbert  -Slytherin

Eugene/Flynn is truly a well-written dude, he’s sly, cunning, charming, daring, chivalrous, witty, AND lives to serve himself. His Slytherin traits though are his defining ones, being his resourcefulness in doing what Blondie wanted in order to get what he wanted, later on, his ambition is wanting to live somewhere am sunny, tanned, rested and alone, surrounded by enormous piles of money, which, same. He knows what he wants and he’ll do ALMOST anything to do it, so long as it doesn’t hurt him, which is where the self-preservation comes in. He only really changes his viewpoint on the world after he gets to know Rapunzel, but it only shifts a little, and he then views himself and Rapunzel as his little group, and the changes from protecting only himself to protecting their little bubble, which shows how he values fraternity as well, though it does take a little while to show it.
