🌿 Sheileigh (Shylee) 🌿 She/Her || 21

Fun fact: I made this divider! ♥︎

As an aroace person, I saw and read it as a joke. (Granted, it took me a long minute to understand what her tweet meant, but I had no issue with her tweet, only the people in the comments.)

In reaction to her saying that an awareness day for asexuality was ridiculous, she's right. Why do people need to have days for everything to feel seen or appreciated?

I'm sorry, but I love Joanne istg

She has a response to every dumb thing these people say. Not to mention these idiots are actually trying to mansplain her books to her and tell HER what they actually mean and what the morals are. Bro they're her damn books, I think she knows what they mean more than any of y'all.

If you have to jump through hoops to make a ship work, then it wasn't actually a plausible ship to begin with and you’re just making things up to force it to work.

If you have to change the timeline or literally force everyone to be queer just so you can have your lovely little ships, then they never worked in the first place.

I have to get this off my chest.

Attention Marauders stans who believe in the "reason why Remus eats chocolate" bs:

A study in 1996 showed that chocolate caused the release of endorphins in the brain, making people feel happy.

When we eat chocolate, our brains release serotonin (the happy hormone.)

Remus is obviously sad and down in his later years because he's having trouble finding a job and people don't like him, etc. So what does he do? Eats chocolate because it makes him feel happier than he usually is.

This also has further implications when applied to the dementors. Dementors suck all of the happiness and life out of the world around us, so why do you think Remus told the kids to eat chocolate after the first dementor attack on the Hogwarts Express? Maybe because it makes you feel happy?? Wow, nothing has ever been so obvious.

So, basically, marauders stans who say that Remus is depressed enough to want to kill himself with chocolate ("kill the dog inside him") are completely backwards in this theory. Why would someone try making themselves feel better with a proven method if they actually wanted to kill themselves? Doesn't make a lot of sense, huh?

By making every marauders era character depressed asf, you're completely missing the mark on the moral of the books/story. Sure, bad things happen but you can't be depressed/do nothing about it forever. Eventually you have to face your demons and stand up for yourself and others. Remus was not depressed once he opened up to Tonks, but most of y'all just sweep her under the rug and forget she exists, right?

P.S. I'm eating chocolate rn and it's wonderful.

[THE 1988 MURDER OF BRENDA SCHAEFER]

Mel Ignatow and Brenda Schaefer had been in a relationship for two years at the time of the murder. Ignatow knew that Brenda, who had complained that he was abusive, was planning to break off their engagement. He asked a former girlfriend, Mary Ann Shore, to help him plan and carry out the murder. They spent several weeks making extensive preparations. Shore testified they had "scream tested" her house and dug a grave in the woods behind it.

On September 23, 1988, Brenda Schaefer met Ignatow to return some jewelry of his that she had in her possession. Instead, Ignatow took her to Shore's house, where he pulled a gun on Schaefer and locked her in the house. She was blindfolded, gagged, and bound to a coffee table.

Ignatow forced her to strip, photographed her in suggestive positions, raped, sodomized and beat her before killing her with chloroform. Shore took pictures while Ignatow raped and tortured her and assisted Ignatow in covering up the murder. They buried her behind Shore's house. He took Schaefer's jewelry and the exposed film.

Six months after Ignatow's acquittal, a carpetlayer working in Ignatow's old house, which had been sold to fund his defense, pulled up a length of carpet in a hallway. Under it he found a floor vent containing a plastic bag, taped to hold it inside the vent. Inside the bag was the jewelry Schaefer had taken with her on the night of her disappearance, and three rolls of undeveloped film. When developed, the film showed Ignatow torturing and raping Schaefer, just as Shore had described. Ignatow's face was not in the pictures (over 100 of them), but body hair patterns and moles matched him perfectly.

Ignatow faced federal charges for perjury and lying to the FBI, based on his grand jury testimony. Knowing that he could not be retried for the murder because of double jeopardy, Ignatow confessed in court at his perjury trial. He turned to Schaefer's brothers in court and said that he had killed her, but claimed that she had "died peacefully." In 1992, Ignatow pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight years and one month in prison in return for a confession to the family.

He got out after five years in prison, and had time shaved off for good behavior, but he never served time for the murder of his fiancé.

Can we normalize fancasting marauders characters as literally nobodies? People with no track record as an actor? Like— Can't we just find random ass people on pinterest and leave it at that? (Ik some people do this and I thank you because most "fancasts" I've seen are so awful.)

Some fandoms need a damn factory reset tf

Bro literally married Lily (pined after her for at least 2 years) and had a baby with her, but sure, keep living in your delusions lol

Hate to break it to you, but a bag of skittles is a bag of fucking skittles, y'all. It doesn’t represent ✨ The Slytherin Skittles ✨ be fr

People justifying rape. Absolutely revolting.

I'm sorry, but seeing some man say "well, the bear will kill you, you'll be more affected by the bear than by a man." That's vile. Apparently he doesn't know that men murder women during rapes sometimes.

LOL they really think they're making a point, when they're really just proving ours.

The pics are lined up backwards, I believe. Dumb tumblr lol

Anyway, this was a reply to a comment I posted on an Instagram reel showing a female journalist being harassed and eventually raped (she did an interview on 60 minutes) by a crowd of Egyptian men. Her guide/translator was so helpless, it's heartbreaking because you can see him trying to keep her safe and yelling at the other men.

Literally proves us feminists' points that some men are absolute dogshit.

It's not all men, but it's always, always a man.

My absolute fucking anthem right now!

"It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all."

My comfort lyrics istg. This is so true.

And when men ask women, "why are you a misandrist? It's not all men."

Yes, we know that. We aren't degenerates. We simply do the math and, statistically, 1 in 5 women are raped or sexually assaulted in their lives. Don't ask us why we distrust, do your research first and try to understand where we are coming from. If it makes you mad, then you're part of the problem.

Every 68 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. 4 out of 5 of them are women. Every two minutes, a woman is raped. Let that sink in.
