My Father Had Taught Me To Be Nice First, Because You Can Always Be Mean Later, But Once You’ve Been

HOLY SHIT MOZART

I just found out Mozart’s first true opera was commisioned by a university when he was 11, which all by itself was pretty impressive.

But the shocking fact is that this little kid wrote the opera about a f*cking homosexual triangle between the greek god Apollo and two humans, Hyacinthus (his lover) and Zephyr (who was jealous).

A GAY OPERA

THERE’S A DAMN GAY OPERA WRITTEN BY A 11 YEAR OLD MOZART

Dumbledore, died at age 115

Horcruxes made: 0

Voldemort, died at age 71

Horcruxes made: 7

Conclusion: Voldemort was the most useless, magic dependant wizard that ever existed. He could have lived till like 200 if he just ate well and exercised, but no he had to go and split up his soul and ruin perfectly good jewellery, fucking dumbass.
