Also me: realises I can download them from ao3

Anyway, he send me a link to a documentary from 2018 about the treatment of different animals in Australia.

My thoughts about it:

People suck and the animals should be kept in better conditions, and not stacked on top of each other. Mostly because a portion of the meat will never be consumed and just thrown out.

I do so hate using animals for entertainment - bull riding, the spanish toreadors, the circus (I haven't been in many years so I'm not sure but there was talk for banning using animals?) and the zoos. I cannot go to a zoo and enjoy myself. That was all before the vegan emersion (I also read articles)

That said - I'm not going to become vegan. There is no way I'll be substituting 75% of my food with more expensive options for once. I do believe that the animals should live on farms and with more humane conditions. There will be less wasted meat as well.

1) How did merlin actually manage to hide his powers for 5 hours let alone 5 seasons? How?

2) Where do they find so many knights with the way they keep dropping like flies?

3) Am I the only one who doesn't find any of the romances believable? Like except for the Merlin/Freya and even that was a bit pushing it.

1) Morgana's character arc sucked, like it was so all over the place

2) Gwaine is my precious (alcoholic, murder-y) baby and he needs to be protected

3) Merlin/Gwaine bromance in S03 is better than the Merlin/Arthur bromance

4) I'm not ready for E02S04

They scared the poor people shitless, looked around, did the drills and left. Those poor man were too scared to call 112 (911 in EU).

2 - James

James was definitely the spoiled rich kid of the group, I mean Sirius was rich but he had more of a rich aristocrat air to him, you know, James was just rich;

And spoiled - it took him a couple of months to get used to not getting his way all the time;

That happened only because his parents were called to Hogwarts in early November for a talk;

No one ever learned what was said, but he did change his attitude a little ;

He was the last to discover Remus' condition, but when he did he only shrugged and said that his dad was working on a potion for werewolves;

He did not come up with the animagus idea, but only half of the forbidden books they read came from Sirius;

Pranking Snape started out as a joke but when he retaliated with some dark curses (barley dark according to Sirius) it got personal, mostly because no one would believe them that the poor halfblood slytherin first year could cast dark magic;

In retrospect, it took him nearly six years to stop believing that the world owned him everything ;

He was jealous of Sirius, not for his home life, but for other things;

He loved him to bits, but sometimes... Well James was never as self-assured as liked to appear;

He stared asking Lily out in forth year as a joke, because he knew it drove Snape mad;

The first time he meant it, was also the first time she said yes;

He may have lead the others to believe he was in love with her so they'd stop asking him who he liked;

If that ever got out Sirius would have broken his teeth and he'd have to sleep with heavy wards until they graduated ;

Not that the secrecy mattered much in the end;

He liked flying, people told him he was amazing at it, but he never really loved flying ;

He loved Lily and Harry but he never stopped wondering how his life might have turned out had he not reacted so strongly that day;

1 - Sirius and Lily friendship

Lily ans Remus were friendly without being friends, they had a good working relationship as prefects but never spen9tok much time together;

Lily and Sirius were friends, she didn't want to admit it, but he ki d of grew on her, especially in sixth year;

James was NOT jealous (shut up Peter!) ;

Okay, he was a little jealous at one point when the two would stop talking whenever he came near;

He never learnt what they were discussing l, but had a feeling it was about him;

He was 10% correct, the other 90 % was a combination of music and bad relationship with their respective siblings ;

Sirius spent his last two years at school trying to get Regulus to talk to him;

He was partially successful ;

Learning that Regulus had taken the Dark Mark was when he started hating his family for real;

Only Lily knew he was seeking out to meet with Regulus ;

She caught him one night and would cover for him;

Despite everything, she missed her sister, or at leat the idea of a good older sister ;

The two secretly dated for a month before deciding that they were better off as friends;

Only Peter ans Mary knew, because the two couples accidentally ended un in the same broom closet;

That shared secret may or may not have contributed to Sirius being forgiven for the Full Moon Incident;

James may have been the love of her life or whatever, but privately Lily thought he could use some lessons from Sirius - the thing with the tongue comes to mind;

When they started going on missions for the Order, Lily and Sirius were generaly paired up;

James was a tad too nice while fighting for both their tastes;

She was there when Sirius recognised his brother and cousin one night;

Lily grabbed Sirius, apparated them away and then lied through her teeth during debriefing that it was strategic retreat because they were outnumbered;

To be fair they were, but she was confident they would have won if Sirius was not distracted ;

That day he took James aside and told him to marry her before she wishes up and leaves them ;

James wished he could be sure that in a hypothetical split he would get Sirius in the divorce;

Lily was sure that they would get a traumatised Sirius if he ever had to choose between them;

She actually took him to her sister's wedding, because no one wanted James there (including James) and she didn't want to go alone;

Petunia was both happy and mad that her guests decided that her sister's date was some Lord or other nobility. In the one hand it was great for her status, on the other hand he was from Lily's lot, Lord or no;

Lily couldn't comprehend how Sirius I-wear-band-T-Shirts-and-eat-crappy-food-only Black could act so pretentious and give off an air of I'm-your-superior without actually insulting anyone;
