my favourite coworker started when I left and I relayed the entire saga of Woman Who Has Been Doing The Same Job For 40 Years And Yet Doesn't Know Anything About It Screams At Sick Child For Almost Passing Out and he promised me he'd tear her a new one later. love wins ❤️

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭
So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.
With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.
Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.
But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.
#greenteacup asks#sidebar: I know Minister “of” Magic is an Americanism but mea culpa#Someday I might actually bite it and pay someone to britpick Lionheart but I can't do it now#because I have a ban on editing published fic unless it's finished. Otherwise I'll never get around to writing the actual ending#I have a Process#is it the best process? likely not! but it makes the words go. so here we are.#I also think the fact that JKR is Gen X makes a difference here. careers worked differently in the 80s and 90s than they do now#i.e. we have the gig economy and a lot more mobility and EXPECTATION of mobility in your early life#that means career changes & professional pivots through your 20s and 30s are increasingly normal#and in fact have always been normal — but the image of the 'true' or 'ideal' career has changed#so we look at those careers and go hm. really? none of them changed?#none of them even went to uni? do wizards... just not?#but again. I believe the epilogue was written almost completely without consideration as to what happened between the BOH and then#I really believe that JKR did not know what happened to Harry except a wedding and 3 kids. because that was the whole point#I don't think she even knew what his career was when she wrote that scene#It existed to marry everyone off and do a quick munchkin headcount#because of the understandable temptation as an author to keep your hand on the wheel. but it didn't even matter!#the epilogue changed NOTHING! it was the most useless chapter in the series! I just — GOD#you can absolutely accuse me of being sour grapes about my ships getting nixed. I AM sour grapes. I AM a hater.#AND I have plot/theme/craft reasons for disliking it.#I'm not objective. I just want credit for being a sophisticated hater. my grapes may be sour but they're still artisinal.

what if koko from the movie is actually called misako but because she's seemingly much younger than show misako she goes by koko because she prefers being called that?

The fact that these are practically the exact same character, but one is rightfully universally hated for being an abusive megalomaniac while the other is being upheld by the fandom as some sort of.... ugh.. "hero" 🤮🤮

#to me enji stans seem completely deranged#like who would watch atla and come to the conclusion that yes it was actually zuko's fault??!!#who would watch atla and ask for ozai redemption at the end??!#literally no one#so then how do you see endeavor in mha and do that exact thing?#they're almost the exact same character it's literally uncanny how similar they are#right down to the specific types of abuse they subjected their families to#ozai married ursa because she was avatar roku's granddaughter so he thought they would produce more powerful children together#enji married rei for her ice quirk because he thought they could produce more powerful children together#ozai favored one of his kids who he considered a prodigy while ignoring/hating the other one who he thought of as weak/useless#enji favored one of his kids who he considered a prodigy while ignoring/hating the other ones who he thought of as weak/useless#ozai is responsible for one of his kids having half their face burned and permanently scarred#enji is responsible for one of his kids having half their face burned and permanently scarred#no i don't care that technically rei was the one that burned shouto enji was still the reason this happened#but ozai was tyrant and and an imperialist while enji saves people for a living#congratulations that's the only valid point to hate ozai more than endeavor#but that just proves how fucking low the bar is#plus endeavor's idea of heroism is more like#beating people up for a living and coincidentally saving some bystanders as a bonus#anyway ozai should have died#maybe not by aang but he should have died#enji should also die#i don't care who does it I'm good with anything as long as it isn't framed as a 'heroic sacrifice'#atla#atla ozai#mha#anti endeavor#anti enji todoroki#todoroki family

you guys.... i'm going down a spiral and I need advice
#my best friend (my favourite person in the world) has been acting kinda distant lately#she's been struggling with depression so I figured she just needed some space#we still talk on instagram every day and send each other reels all the time#but lately I just feel like she's gonna abandon me...#she's growing up and has a job and a boyfriend and is doing well for herself#meanwhile i'm a failure lmao i flunked twice and am still in uni and barely surviving this school year with absoltely no (...)#(...) prospects and hope for the future. on top of that i'm a depedent clingy selfish useless jealous baby#she deserves better than me and she's bound to realize that so i'm not surprised this is happening. but it still hurts.#last night she sent me a message on ig saying she missed me but deleted it immediatly so i didn't have time to respond#which most likely means she meant to send it someone else and sent it to me by mistake#which means she doesn't miss me at all (she could have just kept the message and it'd be no trouble#but the fact she deleted it so quickly without a second thought just means she doesn't care about me#we haven't seen each other in a month so that hurts#i panicked and “replied” saying i missed her too but she left me on read#now she's sending me reels but I can't bring myself to even open our chat because it just hurts#I wish we could just cut the chord and end the friendship at once instead of having me slowly watch it crumble#i hate this#i'm so sad#i'm gonna be all alone#i'm completely isolated from everyone and it's my fault for depending on her so much#it hurts so much I don't even want to see her#i don't know what to do

Infodumping in my mutuals dms as a form of affection, like a cat bumping their head against you <3
#i am so gatekeepy about my interests irl <3 my mom asked if she should watch bungou stray dogs and i said ''No.'' with my whole chest#(it has been one of my longest special interests‚ starting at 14 years old) (I'm almost 22)#i will straight up lie about the quality of a show in order to keep people away from my special interests#like when i was in 12th grade my straight guy friend asked if i recommend No.6 and I said no (it's one of my favorite series)#if I'm infodumping or sending 6447754 messages in a row its bcuz i trust that we have the same thoughts/opinions about the topic#like i wouldn't send just anyone an analysis of hero worship and it's role in society willingly ignoring child abuse in bnha#because if i said ''Endeavor being redeemed would completely erase his role in creating one of the most notorious villains in the series.#His redemption completely backtracks from the message of ''blind hero worship is how abusers in positions of power are never found guilty#and leads to extreme cases-- an example being Touya‚ who was presumed dead. His father was never suspected because of his position#If Endeavor is redeemed‚ the message of hero worship being BAD is ultimately nullified by saying ''unless theyre really sorry :(('' and-''#to a straight dude on anime tiktok‚ who has no literary analysis skills (or even the ability to think on his own)‚ it would be useless#sorry for the insane rant. my point being that info dumping is a form of love‚ trust‚ and communication. peace and love on planet Earth x#a.txt

I've got an appointment with my GP on Tuesday because I think this vertigo stuff probably isn't going away? it's been three days 🤷 it was slightly better for a few hours today but now it's pretty bad again. sooo I really hope she'll have more to say than her usual 'this won't kill you so just don't worry about it'

Me: okay maybe I should finally dig out my wall calendar as I'm having trouble keeping track of extended family's birthdays
Me, while redoing said calendar because it's messy: why are there so many birthdays in may and july? it's just considerate
#Demon Spawn#+Extra#theres too many fcking family members and i kept forgetting where id put and to check the diary my mum had filled out with extended family#birthdays but there are birthdays missing from that! she just completely decided against putting any of my dads family but put my aunts#fiancé down as my uncle which um excuse me hes not my uncle until marriage and the guy that was my uncle has also been snubbed cus of the#divorce! theres family politics going down in my diary. my cousin on my dads sides birthday isnt in there and my mum is always late with#birthdays so shell only tell me after its passed which is not helpful. my mum has also had another child since she filled out so she needed#to be added but her birthday is the same month but a couple of days before another siblings so it wouldnt have been chronologically correct#to just add her but my may box is very full. its very stressful to look at theres no need for that many people to be born in may and july#i have a real problem with remembering things that are written down but i cant see. like we had to have a homework journal for school and#i always forgot when i had homework..... because i would forget to check my journal.... my teachers would be like didnt you write it down?#and even when it was written down it didnt help i need to be unable to avoid seeing it it just needs to be out in the open always visible#anyway i was gonna finally put my photos up instead i wrote up my deadlines to put on my notice board and finally filled out ny organisers#which i unpacked in December buried on my shelf and then promptly forgot about because i didnt want to clean off the old whiteboard pen 🙃#im so useless i want a new brain#at least its done now. better late than never and constantly suffering for it

#this is . the only place i can Vent#i hate living with a roommate especially one who never shuts his fucking door#he has his girlfriend over and she won’t shut the fuck up and i am trying to sleep#but i can’t because i can hear her talking#and aside from that it’s completely quiet so i just Can’t Sleep#like if he just shut his fucking door it wouldn’t be a problem!#also he warns me when a friend comes over but not when his fucking girlfriend will be staying#what kind of fucking logic is that?#also our old shower curtain got mold and it’s because he never fucking closes it#he leaves it all scrunched up which means it doesn’t dry#also he has THREE. fucking toothbrushes#he just got a new ELECTRIC one why is he keeping the old two?????????#also he whistles at night . which .#you are not supposed to do#it makes me so fucking uncomfortable when he does that#and his fucking sinus noises . god i want to kill him#he also uses METAL UTENSILS on my fucking nonstick pans#not to mention when he DOES use the silicone ones it’s always the most baffling and useless ones#he also hardly ever does the fucking dishes#like he uses the worst dishes to clean . and then doesn’t even try to clean them#and he has an obsession with piling things outside the fucking sink#and . perhaps the most annoying of all . 99% of the time he drinks water#and yet . it seems he uses a different cup almost every day#my brother in christ it’s fucking water just reuse the cup for multiple days#like it’s so fucking annoying for me to load the dishwasher of His dirty dishes after like 3 days of not doing it because i want him to do#it for once . and then have to shove 5 goddamn cups in there#and they’re not even normal cups . they’re peanut butter jars so they’re big

looks aside, the more philosophy tube videos i watch the less i like them, i feel like she just rambles and vaguely connects all the topics and doesnt work towards a goal or conclusion? a lot of the topics she talks about would be fine if there were standalone, but when you put all of them together is a constant "why are we talking about this" that never gets an answer
