I miss you blockbuster I miss you cds I miss you little buttons that played song previews in walmart I miss you vhs tapes I miss you blocky tv with rabbit ears that only had 10 channels I miss you scratched dvds from the library I miss you envelopes of developed photos from a film camera I miss you flip phones covered in stickers I miss you physical media
“Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. Ghosts are transparent.”

“Would you like me to do it now?” asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. “Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?”

“I was just showing Harry my grindylow,” said Lupin pleasantly, pointing at the tank.
“Fascinating,” said Snape, without looking at it.
*****
As Harry raised himself into a sitting position, his head still swimming from its last contact with the ground, he saw Snape running as hard as he could, the enormous beast [Buckbeak] flapping behind him and screeching as Harry had never heard him screech —
. . . Snape had managed to Disapparate just beyond the school’s boundaries.

Snape gave her [Umbridge] an ironic bow and turned to leave.

“The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter — or at least, most minds are.” He smirked.

“Potter, when I want nonsense shouted at me I shall give you a Babbling Beverage. And Crabbe, loosen your hold a little, if Longbottom suffocates it will mean a lot of tedious paperwork, and I am afraid I shall have to mention it on your reference if ever you apply for a job.”
"‘My wife was a fine broodmare and magnificent housekeeper. I regret that in our 50 years of marriage I never troubled myself to learn her first name. I will miss your cooking and cleaning, wife, and hope replacement wife is equally talented."
au where mu qing takes hua cheng's challenge, loses and is the only god to fullfill ghost's demands and give up his status (he does it with pride of course).
so he steps down, cuts his hair and vanishes for a couple of decades leaving feng xin his territory (the other god is mad and heartbroken again).
in his banishment he starts thinking about his life if he ever even wanted to be a god. his mother has been dead for years now and he doesn't have to worry about his income anymore so maybe starting over is not a bad thing?
(meanwhile hua cheng keeps following him displeased with how easily mu qing accepted his lose.)
this expression is cracking me up so much. so demure. dare we say it -- bordering on coquettish. julian for the love of god dom him already what are you fucking waiting for
I’ve basically been dead as far as online presence and art is concerned, mostly due to keeping busy with life stuff. There is currently a recently spayed cat wearing a shirt in my house, I’m playing houseplant musical chairs, that kind of stuff.
But here’s a few crude scribbles of a curly ‘noph lady who I’m finding fun to draw. I should compile another pallanoph sketch dump when I’m less lazy.
can you imagine how both the gotham rogues and jason must've felt during the events of gotham war?
here all the rogues are, people who've hurt and killed thousands. a lot of them barely show regret for their actions and are repeat offenders. they're considered the worst of the worst by gotham's citizens. yet here comes batman, a man who strongly believes in rehabilitation and endless chances for all criminals. every time he puts the rogues in prison, he doesn't talk to them like they're animals and ensures they know he believes in them becoming better.
but then they hear about what batman did to the red hood- how he took away red hood's autonomy and completely violated his rights. they hear about how batman made it so that red hood only feels crippling fear when he feels adrenaline- that batman is doing it for red hood's own good.
and they wonder what batman sees in the red hood to see someone beyond rehabilitation. they wonder how batman believes in people like them, people who repeatedly kill indiscriminately, if he only sees the worst in the red hood, someone they know who doesn't hurt others like they do.
imagine how jason feels, realizing that he is the one person batman doesn't believe in rehabilitation for. that batman considers him more of a problem than his other rogues- that he's the one who needs his autonomy taken away compared to someone like the joker.
AU where Light keeps turning down everyone at To-Oh because he's already in a relationship. But no one believes him. No one has ever seen him with anyone on a date. He goes to all classes, helps at the NPA, no free time. His friends and family tell him to honestly tell them if he's single and just making stuff up to avoid dating.
Thing is, Light does have a boyfriend. A partner. It's L. Except he can't tell them because security reasons TM.
Sayu: "I'm talking about a real person, bro. Not some waifu character in a game."
Sachiko: "Bring them home, Light. I'll believe you then. Before that, have you met our neighbor's cousin Kaoru?"
----
Light: "You. You are booking a ticket to Japan this December."
L: "But I like being Light-kun's secret online waifu."
