And every Millennial I know feels p much the same about Gen Z at large.

watch it

*During House assigning*

Professor McGonnagal: Wednesday Addams.

Wednesday *begins to get up*

Sorting hat: Yeah no, no, sit back down kid. You’re Slytheren. I have never been more sure of anything in my existence.

*Later at Slytheren dorm*

Draco: Well look, if it isn’t Potter’s little Mudblood sister, listen up you little...

Wednesday: *Shoots Malfoy a glare which instantly silences him.* You will listen to me and listen carefully. I do not like repeating myself. Harry is off limits. In fact, everyone in Gryffondor is off limits, that goes for the rest of you. If you cause ANY trouble for my adopted brother, you will answer directly to me. Is this understood?

Draco:...Yes mum.

*Later in potions class*

Snape: Potter, you were two seconds late, twenty points from Gryffondor.

Wednesday: *Picks up beaker and smashes it on the floor.* Professor Snape. I have wilfully destroyed school property. I believe that is a twenty point deduction from Slytheren house.

Snape: Did you? Well I didn’t see it so.

Wednesday: *Gets up, walks to the front of the class, looking Snape in the eye the entire time, smashes another beaker on the ground right in front of him.* Twenty. Points. From Slytheren.

Snape:..... Alright then twenty points from Slytheren.

Wednesday: *Returns to seat, still glaring at Snape*

Snape: Now before we get on with classes I have the results of last weeks pop quiz, fairly expected stuff, Mr. Weasley you did adequate, but your penmanship was atrocious which is...

Wednesday *Grabs another beaker and holds it up with a look on her face that says ‘I can keep this up as long as you can old man’*

Snape:....Something you should work on in the future.

*Later*

Draco: Can’t you just expel her professor?

Snape: Well I could in theory, but considering her muggle father keeps somehow sneaking in here I think whether she has permission to be here or not is rather Academic. Besides, I’m not crossing her after what she did to Umbridge.

Gomez: well that makes him family, we must invite him over.

Harry: but father, everyone says he's trying to kill me.

Gomez: oh, of course, how thoughtless of me. Lurch, put away the swords for guests and sharpen up the good swords we use for special occasions! A relative visiting is one thing, but a murderous relative needs to be celebrated.

Mortitia with man eating plants

Pugsley with explosives

Wednesday just keeps pulling bigger and bigger weapons out of those tiny pockets on her dress. She has a wand but never uses it!

after the huge amazing response I got from my ace!Jiang Cheng comic - all of the ace people saying how amazing it felt to be acknowledged, and all of the people who came to me saying that they hadn’t realised they were ace until they read the comic - I decided I wanted to make something for ace awareness week. it’s not quite as pretty or feelsy as the other comic, but there are so many people even within the LGBT+ community who just… genuinely do not understand asexuality, I figured even something basic would help :)

It’s a word for when we don’t quite know what we are. Or when what we know about ourselves is complicated, and we need a quick explanation. Or when we don’t need to share more. Or sometimes it’s just the best fit.

looks that last just a little longer than they should

constantly thinking about each other

they stand next to each other without even thinking about it

jealousy

lovers’ quarrel (they fight, get angsty, and then both make up after, yknow the usual)

always worried about each other

lingering touches

both subtly act a bit different when the other is around

protectiveness

they both know exactly how to comfort each other in the best way

smiles that last long after what’s been said (“why are you still smiling?” “hmm? what? what smile?”)

In 2009 the series started as a webcomic self-published and drawn by  author under the moniker “ONE”. (Chapter 17)  ↓

In 2012 the series garned so much attention it was later redrawn in manga format by Murata Yuusuke (Eyeshield 21).(Chapter 18)  ↓

And finally in 2015 the series became so popular in got an anime. So over the course of 6 years, ONE went from a modest webcomic artist as a side hobby to a well recieved author with both a manga and an anime. 

I’m mentioning this all right now because I want to make something very clear:

As an author, I can’t tell you how much it means, how it fills my heart, to have people thank me for my writing, and tell me that it has brought them joy in these troubling times. You both motivate and sustain me. Every last kudos and comment has brought me more happiness than I can express. 

So whether you are a content creator, author, a fan, blogger, or reader…

Thank you all. 

HERE IT IS. THE HUMAN SACRIFICE

hey guys did you know my ancestors built floating islands and gardens for sustainable farming? yes we were architectural geniuses actually! they were called chinampas and you should look them up THEY’RE GORGEOUS

did you know the mexica empire was one of the first people to implement a system of universal compulsory education? every child was educated regardless of their social status

REMEMBER THE HUMAN SACRIFICES

also did you know that in Tenochtitlan we mastered the art of aqueducts and built a gigantic one called Chapultepec that ran for three miles and poured water into public fountains and reservoirs? Because of the city being interconnected by lakes, we constructed a revolutionary dam, the largest earthwork in the Americas at the time, and it was fitted with doors which could be raised or lowered to control the level of water behind it!! fucking awesome

HOW ABOUT THOSE SACRIFICES THO

Did you know my ancestors knew how to perform surgeries with anesthesia? Our physicians did all kind of medicinal research and had extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs and plans, for example they used the sap from the maguey tree as a disinfectant and to heal wounds; and argemone mexicana as a painkiller. Research it- it’s amazing!!

KIDS DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE SACRIFICE

And I will continue reminding you that your (WHITE EUROPEAN) ancestors consumed mummies, and yet why is it that Victorians are not called “savage” and “barbarians?”

We’re not debating the ethics of cannibalism and sacrifice, we’re talking about double standards and racism

the histories of sacrifice and cannibalism in indigenous religions are taught through a lens of colonization, racism, and anti-native propaganda to justify the genocide of millions of indigenous people

most of the information about the mexica (aztec’s) practice of human sacrifice come from hernán cortés, you know, the man that genocided 95% percent of the mexica

indigenous practices deserve respect and respect does not mean you have to agree with the practice or that they are above reproach but it does mean that you listen to what indigenous people tell you about it. it means you shut the fuck up about the things you don’t know and listen

you need to check your own biases and prejudices because you were likely taught by a non-native person and those biases do shape how you perceive indigenous cultures as less then white cultures and therefore subject those biases onto indigenous people

it’s why your first knee-jerk reaction to posts like mine will be to call me savage and barbaric when you do not even know the word for cannibalism in my language or that we had a very advanced culture (which was the point of my commentary in the first place)

do your research! a 5 minute wikipedia scroll and your AP history textbook does not count as research. seek out resources that are not written from the perspectives of white spaniards or non-native people and maybe you’ll learn something

It’s ridiculous that colonizers think that my ancestors were these barbaric savages because of careful ritual practices 

Fanfiction as a collective exists as a combination of the ideal state and all the broken pieces that are left behind. Fanfiction shows us all the things that should have happened, if the world was a little bit kinder: someone adopts Harry Potter, the Avengers live domestically together, people fall in love and admit it. Fanfiction says, things are awful but we’re kind anyway, because we can be, because kindness costs little and gives much. It is democracy at its best, a collection of people solving problems together, solving plotholes and heartbreaks and deaths, a conversation of solution responding to solution because the whole of fandom is, itself, its own canon.

“I think you can relate to it when you’re young, our age, and when you’re older. There’s always one person in the room that you want to see you. There’s one person that you really wish could actually see you and that person rarely puts their eyes on you. I think that’s the thing between them, they wanted to be seen by one specific person and that’s a very beautiful drama.” —Mads Mikkelsen on Hannibal & Will’s relationship
