I feel like one strange advantage of being a lesbian/a woman who’s attracted to other women is that it puts my own body insecurities into perspective, because when I dislike something about my body I think “would I stop being attracted to a woman if she had stretch marks/acne/a little extra body fat etc.” and the answer is always no

Excellent reminder

Early video game designer: Okay, we’re just about done with this level

Video game designer’s manager: Great! Did you figure out what to put at the end?

designer: Yeah, we put this tough, nasty, mean, ugly monster that the player has to beat. We made sure killing the monster feels as rewarding as possible.

manager: Cool! So what’s it called?

designer: The boss.

manager:

manager: why’s it called that

I have a headcanon that Hermione insists her children attend some primary muggle schooling before Hogwarts, just as she had done. Now, imagine Arthur Weasley attending his grandchild’s science fair, being the ultra proud grandfather….and yet also completely geeking out over absolutely EVERYTHING.

Canon

“That is a volcano, that is a VERY SMALL VOLCANO, how - young lady, how did you make this? Baking soda and food coloring? MARVELOUS!”

[worlds-of-ink-and-paper]

the kids would love him.

[malevolent-dean]

Never have I ever loved anything more than I love this

[hexcoderose]

All the muggle teachers would think he was being so adorable, “pretending” not to know how potato batteries and mini-volcanoes work, fawning over the hard work the kids did on even the simplest the projects. And he comes every year, because after the kids have aged out (”gone on to some boarding school in Scotland,” the teachers say over bad coffee in the break room, “they didn’t seem the type”), he gets an honorary invitation to the fair every year, because he never stops making the kids feel smart and good.

“And this airy-o-plane, it flies by means of a… rubber band? Did I hear that correctly? No magic at all? Doesn’t flap its wings like a bird? MARVELOUS! What an ingenious method of flight!” *looks around* “You, sir! With the ribbons! This child deserves one of those prizes!”

This is so wholesome. 

Arthur Weasley, as the Science Fair attendee we all deserve.

In the Hall of the Mountain King, for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

the hall of the mountain king one is one long screaming fall and it’s incredible

[deadhoneybadger]

Yeah that’s why they all died at 30 because they were so unhealthy but cool

[rosietheamazon]

Pretty sure it was the plague not heart disease.

[cr1mson5thestranger]

Pretty sure it was the Plague, childbirth, food spoiling, maltreated infections, smallpox, pneumonia, and/or generally unsanitary living conditions (such as dumping sewage and waste in the streets) and not health conditions caused by excess body fat.

Not to mention that the Renaissance standard of female beauty being plumpness and full-figured forms came from the fact that it was a status symbol. Plump, pale, full-figured women were wealthy women who didn’t have to spend their days in hard labor or raising children (or both) and stood a better chance of bearing healthy babies than commoner women did.

Cultural “Oh Snap”
I hate it so much when people pull out the “unhealthy” excuse for having a reason to body shame a person.

[fandomsandfeminism]

“Women died young in the 1700s because they were fat” is an amazingly ignorant statement
