"I Killed Another Houseplant Bc Of Executive Dysfunction"

Eddie did not die in Dustin’s arms to distract the bats from Steve, Robin, and Nancy so that way they could kill Vecna for y’all to disrespect him by saying that his death and character arc were meaningless

Someone is writing a Percy gets kidnapped by Peter petty ass rat man (bless you) and I too have thought this idea. Except mine is sad because I love drama and angsts.

In my awful evil ideas he gets kidnapped at 15 is missing for years and is pronounced dead yall sorry.

Rat man runs with his kid. Probably meets up with Crouch mad man jr and are plotting evil shit. Barty can’t deal with Percy because he’s a little shit that reminds him of himself but his dad actually loves him. They’ve heard and see missing posters. They gotta lose the kid.

Peter rat man has a kind second and dumps him. Percy down, dead in a ditch with permanent memory loss. They cut his hair off and it grows back brown. When they look for him in the muggle world no one bothers to look at brunettes.

With rat man on the loose causing chaos, my man ✨Sirius✨ is free 💅🏻

Mentally ill, rich, hot, and petty he goes to get Harry, his lawyers, AND a year of mind healing. The best revenge is success. The portraits of his parents are proud of him because he’s terrifying wizarding Britain. He gets extra therapy for that but fuck it 🤷🏻‍♀️ his mom and dad have scary ass friends that he can use to fuck things up for those who have wronged him!!!!!!

Ron and Ginny go through their schooling with no older prefect brother. Endless questions with no answers, confused and scared because Percy has always been there where did he go?

Fred as the “oldest” takes over and it causes a rift with George. They both lose some innocence because sometimes family tragedies push kids into adult roles. No pranks or inventions when your youngest siblings dont understand why everyone is mad and crying.

Bill and Charlie lose their freedom. They have to come home because holy shit this cannot be happening. They lose the life they worked so hard for and have to parent their siblings and parents because mum is falling apart.

They go through the war and survive. All for Bill to go into London one day and be confused for someone’s muggle friend. Like I know not all red heads are related but both tall, same blue eyes, freckled, but his hair is a darker shade of brown/red? You know him? And it’s Percy at the bar celebrating graduation from some prestigious university 💅🏻

Cue whole traumatized family having to deal with their feelings (which we know they sucked at) because the son/brother they buried is here but not really the person they knew/ remember.

The only person who’s having a blast is Percy because after they found him unconscious in a ditch, he has no memory of his past life so he gets to just be. No last name or father to live up to. He goes to school and probably has like two majors, a minor, president of some clubs, studied abroad, and on his way to graduate school.

He meets Bill and the family and it’s so obvious.

Let the chaos continue.

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

how did I never get this joke before??

Clue (1985) dir. Jonathan Lynn

Everyday I get angry about how unimaginative Light was. Like if I was given a death note I would simply write down the names of all the billionaires in the world and force them to donate all of their wealth to different charities and organizations before dying of a heart attack. Like rip to Kira but I’m different.

dadrius reunion huh

extra:

What if in Teen Beach Movie, Layla fell off the stage and into Mackenzie's arms instead of Brady or Tanners. Therefore creating a timeline wherein Brady is either caught by Tanners charms or Butchie is interested in the new biker boy on the beach. Can someone write this?

The titles…

“Thanks to them”… “For the future”

I’m going to cry.

soulmates but not in a soft romantic way soulmates in a destined to change each other for better or for worse, cannot be who they are without each other, unstoppable together but they’re also the only ones who can defeat each other, equals, existences undeniably tied to each other way

Guess what time it is? It’s rant about Percy Weasley time!

No one will ever convince me that Percy wasn’t a spy during the war. There’s nothing in the canon sources that disproves this theory (not that I’d really care if there was, because I would just ignore it, but that’s neither here nor there). 

The only “evidence” that he wasn’t a spy is two quotes from the text. This one:

“What made you see sense, Perce?” inquired George.

“It’s been coming on for a while,” said Percy, mopping his eyes under his glasses with a corner of his traveling cloak. “But I had to find a way out and it’s not so easy at the Ministry, they’re imprisoning traitors all the time. I managed to make contact with Aberforth and he tipped me off ten minutes ago that Hogwarts was going to make a fight of it, so here I am.”

I’d argue that this quote actually supports him being a spy more than not. I don’t think he was a spy in the beginning (when he initially left his family), but rather became one later when he realized his mistake and the ramifications of what was happening. The text above shows that he couldn’t get out of the ministry, so he had two main options: accept what was going on and do nothing about it (I’ll talk more about that later) or become a spy to help the cause. 

The quote also says that he made contact with Aberforth, but it doesn’t say when. It says that Aberforth tipped him off ten minutes ago about the battle, but that doesn’t mean that they weren’t in contact before that (and in fact, it would be a very unlikely coincidence if the first time Percy reached out to Aberfoth just happened to be hours before the final battle). It’s vague about the initial contact date, so it’s highly possible that Percy has been feeding information to Aberfoth for months at that point. 

The other quote that people use to argue that Percy wasn’t a spy is this one:

“I was a fool!” Percy roared, so loudly that Lupin nearly dropped his photograph. 

“I was an idiot, I was a pompous prat, I was a – a –” 

“Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron,” said Fred. Percy swallowed. 

“Yes, I was!”

This doesn’t disprove that he was a spy. If he didn’t become one until later on (like I assume), then he would have still felt responsible for his choice to leave his family, so therefore, he still felt that the apology was necessary. Plus, they were about to fight in a major battle; they didn’t have an unlimited amount of time to discuss what they had all been up to, and that would not have been a quick conversation anyway. 

His family might not even believe him at first, and he had no proof of what he was saying (since spies usually only have 1 or 2 points of contact, and Aberforth was not in the same room at the time). He very possibly just wanted to reunite and mend bridges with his family before it was too late (because he knew he could die during this battle), and then he’d deal with the specific details later when they had time (if they survived). 

I also think it’s telling that Percy was able to keep his job as the personal assistant to the Minister of Magic even when death eaters took over the Ministry. Yes, Voldemort tried to keep the coup mostly silent, so he may have thought that keeping Percy as the assistant would help ease the transition, but it really wouldn’t have made a difference; no one was paying attention to whether or not the new Minister of Magic replaced the old assistant with someone he knew better. 

It’s also possible that the death eaters just didn’t see Percy as a threat, but that seems suspicious. They saw everyone as a threat, and as the assistant to the Minister, Percy’s position would have given him unique access to a lot of important information that Voldemort would not want to fall into the wrong hands. Percy may have been estranged from his family, but he was still related to practically half of the Order of the Phoenix, and the possibility that he would betray the death eaters by reconciling with his family and passing on sensitive information was an unnecessary risk, especially when they could have easily replaced him. 

So why did they keep him there if they didn’t have a good reason to trust his loyalty (in their minds)? I personally think it’s because Percy had to fake his devotion to the cause, and he clearly did so well enough for them to believe it. Earning your enemy’s trust is crucial for any spy, and it seems like Percy managed that. 

To touch back upon my earlier comment, Percy knew the death eaters had taken over the ministry by the 7th book - he even admitted it. He wanted out, but he couldn’t get out. So how do we know that he didn’t just stay quiet and keep his head down; that he didn’t just go with the status quo? Because that’s not Percy.

This is the same guy who took points away from his own house when someone broke the rules, because it was only fair and the right thing to do. It’s not just because he followed rules blindly (we know that he didn’t because he gambled over a Quidditch game in his 7th year). He was in a serious relationship with a muggle-born, and now the ministry is sending innocent muggle-borns to Azkaban, so there’s no way that he would consider that the “right” thing to do. 

Percy didn’t hesitate to run straight into danger during the Quidditch World Cup when there was an attack, despite the personal risk, and he clearly wasn’t hesitating to join the final battle against Voldemort either, even though he just said how dangerous it would be for him to be declared a traitor (in case the good guys lost). He is not a coward. 

Are you honestly telling me that he would just sit back and do nothing about the horrors being perpetrated because it was too risky? Nah, I’m not buying that.

In conclusion, I don’t care what JKR says - Percy was a spy, and she just didn’t bother to flesh out that storyline.
