Australian Comedian Jim Jefferies Points Out The Ridiculousness Of American Pro-gun Arguments. X x

just putting it out there: james potter and sirius black were bullies, remus lupin was an enabler and peter pettigrew is a literal murderer. the marauders were not flower crown wearing cinnamon rolls of goodness, they were pretty awful children.

but they were still better than snape

@constantly-nocturnal as a matter of fact, I don't read them! I also don't leave comments in those fics and tell the authors about what I think. I do, however, post what I think on my blog, because, as you said, here I'll write whatever the hell I want no matter how much other people dislike that. If people agree with me, great. If they don't, it's alright.

PRINCE PHILIP IN NAIROBI OMG OMG HOLY SHIT

You need to write about a random Scottish sheep farmer in the Highlands. One that can’t read and has no neighbours. Only him, his wife, five daughters and three sons and their desperate fight for survival in complete isolation.

I try not to judge people’ favorite historical figures but I cannot help but side-eye the fuck out of anyone who claims they really like Henry VIII… 

But then somehow he was back at Winterfell again, in the godswood looking down upon his father. (Bran III, ADWD)

The thought of Jon filled Ned with a sense of shame, and a sorrow too deep for words. (Ned XV, AGOT)

Did you guys know that when Brazil became a Republic in 1889, it was only supposed to be provisional? That it had to be decided by popular vote whether we wanted to remain a Republic or not?

Well, we did. IN 1993. 104 YEARS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR.

Brazil in a nutshell, honestly.

Chai tea bag + lil but of brown sugar + apple cider packet + 16 oz. mug of hot but not quite boiling water

it will not Fix You but like. maybe. maybe.

New thing: "this ship was wreck" or just "shipwreck" to describe not only when a show ruines your OTP, but also the period of uncertainty that plagued England after both the sinking of the White Ship and the death of Henry I, known as The Anarchy.

Chocolate Coated Caramels

If you are looking for a meaningful , delicious gift for someone close to your heart, this is the best choice !

Ingredients :

Soft caramels - 480g  [ my own recipe will be published separately ; but caramels can be purchased too , not only made at home ]

White chocolate - 300g ( it depends on the type of chocolate, in their melted state, some are runnier , some are thicker . If it is runnier, you will need less chocolate. )

Decorating:

Caramel flakes

Sugar paste

Coconut

Decorating is completely optional.

Instructions :

Boil some water in a pot on medium-low heat and put the bowl with the chocolate on top of it. Keep stirring until all the chocolate melted.

Add the caramels one by one into the chocolate , then use two forks to pick them up , allowing the extra chocolate to drip down the fork’s tines. Place them on wax paper.

Decorate them how you like. I kept mine very simple.

Set them aside to harden and cool , if necessary , refrigerate them.

Cut off the edges in order to give them a better shape.

And there you have it ! The easiest and most delicious treat you could have ever made at home!

Enjoy!

Who was the Potter cat?

So we all know the Potters had a cat, right?

All we have per descriptions of this cat is that 1. It was enough of a Potter to make the list when they went into hiding and 2. Harry scared it with his new broom he got from Sirius.

There is further no mention of said cat.

On the other hand, don’t we know another, really old, beaten down, ugly, sad, sad cat?

A cat that befriended Sirius Black and seemed to KNOW Peter Pettigrew’s smell, hold a grudge against him, even?

Part-kneazle, so it has a remarkable ability for finding things that are shiny and that it has a connection to, like, say, a family member.

A cat that knows it’s way around Hogwarts, around the Whomping Willow, almost like it had been there before with another owner.

A cat that absolutely REFUSED to let Hermione leave that shop without him after seeing a certain rat, was CRAZED, almost.

We have no mention of this cat/kneazle’s age, except that it had been in the shop for a while and no one had wanted it. Magical creatures live a long time. Cats live a long time. It’s within reason that this cat could be 30, even 40 years old.

It makes too much sense.

The Potter cat is Crookshanks.
