You’re minding your own business when suddenly an angel appears and says “The Lord has heard your prayers child, and has agreed to fight you in a Wendy’s parking lot, be there at noon.”

Where I live too! They won’t let anybody inside anywhere without a mask but masks are sold out everywhere and websites say they’re only giving them to hospitals. So I’m like panicking a bit tbh.

DIY ahead, browse the comment sections for the doctors weighing in. pick the most waterproof fabric.

does anyone else ever forget that men aren’t expected to shave their armpits even though they’re so hairy, and then a guy lifts his arms up and you’re actually fucking shocked because you expect there to be skin but instead you’re greeted with 2 fur trappers, 5 families of elk and an ancient civilization that’s pretty close to inventing flying cars

I feel like a lot of people misunderstand the Hogwarts houses. Edgy kids probably wouldn’t be in Slytherin because they’re hardly subtle and sly; they’d be Gryffindor for being so brash. And Hufflepuff isn’t soft ‘uwu’ types: it’s literally just people who aren’t brave, witty or ambitious.

*rubs temples tiredly* Okay, seriously – we’re doing this again? This “Hufflepuffs are just the people who aren’t brave/smart/ambitious enough for the other houses” shtick again? I thought we as a fandom buried this dead concept a long time ago. I never mean to disrespect opinions, but this isn’t an opinion – this is someone telling other people they don’t know what the houses stand for, only to crow something that the books themselves prove is utter nonsense…so if you all will permit me to disregard my usual cool, respectful air, allow me to smack this “confession” around a bit —

Although there are characters in the books who look down on Hufflepuff as you do, OP, the Sorting Hat makes it very clear that Hufflepuff — like the other three — has its own values and identity. In the first book, the Hat sings this:

“You might belong in Hufflepuff, where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil.”

So just as Ravenclaws prize wisdom, Gryffindors prize glory, and Slytherins prize ambition, Hufflepuffs prize loyalty. Ravenclaws choose intelligence, Gryffindors choose courage, Slytherins choose cleverness, and Hufflepuffs choose hard work. They all have their own niche to fill, which corresponds to their respective element. Gryffindor is fire, like their raging red and gold color scheme; Slytherin is water, like the lake their underground commonroom is hidden beside; Ravenclaw is air, like the home of their mascot, the eagle; and Hufflepuff is earth, like the soil that nurtures the magical plants their Head of House, Professor Sprout, works with.

Oho, but what about that other Sorting Hat song, that one in Harry’s fifth year? That one says Hufflepuff “took the rest” that the others didn’t take — that means that Hufflepuff takes everyone that those houses didn’t want —

Ah, ah, ah — zip it. That is not what the Hat said. The song goes like this:

Said Slytherin, “We’ll teach just those whose ancestry is purest.”
Said Ravenclaw, “We’ll teach those whose intelligence is surest.”
Said Gryffindor, “We’ll teach all those with brave deeds to their name,”
Said Hufflepuff, “I’ll teach the lot, and treat them just the same.”
These differences caused little strife when first they came to light,
For each of the four founders had a House in which they might
Take only those they wanted, so, for instance, Slytherin
Took only pure-blood wizards of great cunning, just like him,
And only those of sharpest mind were taught by Ravenclaw
While the bravest and the boldest went to daring Gryffindor.
Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest, and taught them all she knew,
Thus the Houses and their founders retained friendships firm and true.

First of all, at the start, the Founders were talking about how they’d select which students attended their school, period, not who was in their houses. Even though later, yes, it discusses that those initial preferences were later expressed by who ended up in their houses, that doesn’t mean that Hufflepuff only accepts the kids that aren’t brave, smart, or ambitious. Helga Hufflepuff believed that everyone should be allowed to attend Hogwarts, regardless of blood, ancestry, or talent — she believed that everyone aught to be treated just the same. Therefore she didn’t just take “the leftovers”…because kids are not table scraps, and she knew that. Helga Hufflepuff took those people who don’t seek glory and don’t aim to elevate themselves over others: in other words, she took the humble, unassuming, moral students who have purer, more modest values than the rest. Helga didn’t choose to take “the rest” because they weren’t “good enough” for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin — she took “the rest” because those special people were too good-hearted to focus solely on glory, achievement, or power…in other words, because they were good enough for her house. Her act was not passive: it was active. Helga didn’t take students out of pity, but because she, like those students, doesn’t think that anyone lacks potential for goodness as well as greatness…and if that doesn’t define Hufflepuff as a house, then what possibly could?

I acknowledge the books never gave the houses excluding Gryffindor their fair share of representation, but the fact that you can — after finishing the series — come away thinking that if you end up in Hufflepuff, it’s because you aren’t brave, smart, or ambitious is kind of sad to me. Cedric Diggory was very brave, smart, and ambitious — how could he not be all three, if he both decided to enter and was chosen to be Hogwarts’s Triwizard Champion? The difference is that Cedric didn’t value that courage, intelligence, or ambition most, but loyalty — hence why he tried to help and protect Harry when the two of them ended up in the Little Hangleton graveyard.

TL;DR — I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again…the Hogwarts houses are not about personality traits: they’re about values. Also, Hufflepuff kicks all sorts of ass and I will give anyone a boot to the head who tries to argue otherwise.

@imagitory didn’t come to play on this day. Preach! 👏👏👏

Dear Mr. President

First of all, you are the President of the United States. Grow the fuck up.

Second of all, I can think of multiple examples of Presidents treated worse than you;

  • Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and JFK were all assassinated.
  • On the topic of Lincoln, half the country split off from the Union and plunged nation into civil war because they thought he was going to free the slaves (ironically making it inevitable that his administration would do exactly that.)
  • Andrew Johnson was impeached. (To be fair, he deserved it.)
  • Harry Truman was constantly having his staff and party accused of either being communists or communist fellow-travelers.
  • Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon were both almost impeached (the latter would certainly have been if he had not resigned.)
  • FDR was accused, at various points, of being a fascist or a communist, and had to fight World War II, during which the Nazis and Japan made nasty propaganda about him. Also one time the GOP went after his dog.
  • Somebody tried to beat up Andrew Jackson.
  • Grant was constantly portrayed as a useless drunk by a vengeful South, who had basically taken control of America’s historiography.
  • Obama suffered constant, thinly veiled racist abuse.

The press opposition to you, Mr. President, is at best about what Jimmy Carter got. And unlike you, Jimmy Carter didn’t spend all his time whinging about it. You, sir, are a small, petty man.

(Also, it’s a bit rich for the party of Mitch McConnell to say that the Dems get nothing done, isn’t it?)
