Snape Was Looking As Though The First Person To Ask Him For A Love Potion Would Be Force-fed Poison.

Since we know Jinx has survived (WE KNOW IT), and she went on her trip on the airship in the morning... It's still possible Jinx had an opportunity to say goodbye to Ekko just before this heartbreaking scene

And they kissed. But instead of this sweet innocent kiss, it was nasty... But unlike Ekko who said Powder 'Can we pretend like it's the first time'... it was Jinx who said 'Can we pretend like it isn't the last time'

Because there's no way they will be apart forever! They always have a chance to find each other no matter what...

Sirius: *irritated* Just because I can turn into a dog, does NOT mean I act like one.

James: *raises eyebrow* Oh, yeah?

James: *throws quill across the room* Hey Padfoot, go fetch.

Sirius: *actually fighting himself to hold still* I despise you.

Remus: Here, I got an idea.

Remus: *walks over and tips Sirius' chin up with his finger* Who's my good boy?

Sirius: *absolutley melts*

James: *reluctantly impressed* Get a fucking room.

It pisses me off so much when people defend Sirius in debates by saying, “But he grew up! Unlike Snape, who’s just a bitter loser stuck in the past!”

And I’m always like, “Uh… what? Sirius? An adult? In what universe?”

The response I usually get is, “BUT HE WAS IN PRISON!!!!!” Like… yeah 😅 he was in prison, but that doesn’t answer my question. Sirius is just as much a teenager in an adult’s body as Snape is.

“BUT HE WAS IN PRISON, OF COURSE HIS MENTAL STATE SUFFERED!!” … Right. Do these people even have a functioning brain, or is it just jelly sloshing around in there? ,’/

Sirius was in prison, and that prevented him from developing emotionally and socially as he should have. Severus was someone who carried a huge amount of trauma and was forced to stay and work in the very place where most of that trauma originated. Both of them remained stuck in their teenage selves because, in their own ways, they suffered such immense trauma that it stopped them from progressing in their emotional development.

Both of them. Equally. Because they’re both grown-ass men with gray hairs who can hold it together for five minutes, but the moment something triggers them or pisses them off, the teenager inside takes over and is still the one in charge of regulating their emotions.

And I find it insulting, offensive, and a terrible mischaracterization to try to take that away from Sirius. The whole point of Sirius is that he carries a massive amount of unresolved baggage, and that baggage has prevented him from growing and developing properly into a functional adult. You can see it in his reactions, in the decisions he makes, and in the way he deals with his internal conflicts. And that’s fine—it’s not a bad thing. In fact, it enriches him as a character.

So don’t come at me with this idea of a super mature, responsible Sirius Black who is the perfect father figure, because that’s not Sirius Black. Sirius Black is an impulsive man obsessed with the loss of his best friend, who has the best intentions for his godson but can’t help projecting his trauma onto him—and then feels disappointed when he realizes that Harry is not James. Not because that makes him love Harry any less, but because it forces him to confront a reality he clearly doesn’t want to accept.

Sirius Black is the guy who sees the kid he used to bully as a teenager and cannot stand the fact that this same kid now outranks him in the Order. It eats him up inside, so he falls for every single one of his provocations because the arrogant, abusive teenager inside him is still in control and refuses to let that nerd get the upper hand. Sirius Black is the man who makes rash decisions, who hides away in his mother’s old room—the woman he hated—just to wallow in self-pity, who gives advice that he himself doesn’t follow.

Like, out of all the “good guys,” Sirius is arguably the grayest and the least manichaean or one-dimensional. Let him stay that way. Don’t strip him of his best psychological traits, please.

"Huntlow is canon!" Okay but here's the thing: I know that and you know that and Willow knows that but does Hunter know that?!

My boy is giving off the vibes of someone who would sincerely ask, "Wait, you had a crush on me?" to the witch to whom he is married.

I really do hate the idea that Aang was having kids JUST to repopulate the air nomads. The idea that Tenzin was a third time’s the charm situation, that Aang kept “trying” for an airbender and was disappointed with Kya and Bumi

I honest to god think Aang was not thinking “I hope this kid’s an airbender!” Each time. I don’t think the thought would even cross his mind until someone else suggested it. He’d be typed up thinking about how he’ll balance his new child in his life, Katara’s health, how to even be a father having no parents himself. All of those take priority in his mind

I honestly think Aang would be super appalled by the suggestion that “repopulating” was his goal with his family. What it says how about he thinks of his wife.

If anyone is going to have the thought “I hope it’s an airbender” I’d bet it was Katara. It’s still not why. But she knows and loves Aang and has seen how hard he’s struggled without the airbenders, how lonely he’s gotten, I could see Katara having the thought “For Aang’s sake I hope you’re an airbender” before Aang ever thinks “I hope you’re an airbender”

I don’t know man. This idea is just so gross to me, and I hate how it’s thrown around by the fans like it must be the case, with no room for questions, why ELSE would Aang be having kids?

Rubs me the wrong way. Really does

I want to be in the batfam fandom, I want to so bad, but it’s so vast where do I start? Is there a good batfam tv show or movie? A specific/specific comics y'all consider more canon then others? (I know dc doesn’t give a shit about continuity) fics I should read to get a good handle on personalities?

I’m training myself to remember their names and in general what they look like but so far I only have Jason, Dick, Damian, and Tim down (and Only bc of the white streak, Damians age, and the difference in Dick and Tims clothes)

I’m begging all to help me, where do I start? I want to be apart of this So Fucking Bad but I’m so confused

this might be controversial...? but i don't think that snape being an adult when he bullied students is inherently worse than the marauders bullying him while they were teenagers based on their respective ages alone. and that is because the severity of their bullying is nowhere near comparable.

many people (me included) think that snapes worst teacher moment was when he indirectly insulted hermiones teeth. that was pretty fucking awful and can't be excused, especially because he was an adult and teacher. in general, all of his bullying was purely verbal, he never caused physical harm (on the contrary, he was surprisingly protective of all the students compared to most hogwarts teachers).

so obviously the marauders equivalent to this kind of bullying would have been if they stuck to just insulting snapes appearance and calling him snivellus. this is awful too, but not as bad as adult snape saying similar things to children. if this was all that happened, snape would indeed be a worse bully than them.

but the problem is that they didn't stick to 'just' verbal abuse. they went many steps further and almost got their victim killed. and as if that wasn't bad enough, they proceeded to sexually harrass him just for funsies later on. so, well, maybe it's just me, but i can't comprehend how being insulted by a teacher (hurtful) is apparently worse or even just comparable to almost dying and being SA'd by classmates (life long trauma right there). does it actually matter to the victim that the offenders were teenagers? i doubt it.

being a teenager shouldn't mean that you can just get away with shit like that or that it can't be extremely traumatic for the victim, just because they're minors.

my headcanon about the alternate timeline we see in s2ep7 is that instead of ekko and powder being close friends throughout their childhoods who became lovers with no friction, it actually took a while for them to bridge the gap that vi's death caused.

when we see ekko and powder go to vi's memorial for the first time and ekko asks if she was the one who caused their death, powder very quickly retorts that it was ekko's tip that ended up sending them on the job that killed her. i think that this is important not just because the writers wanted to explicitly say that the chain of events that led to the original timeline hinged on ekko's tip but also because in how quickly she said it, we can assume that this is something that's come up between them before.

ekko already is seen as a character who carries a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, mostly self-ascribed, which i tend to characterize as being born partially of guilt. i think guilt is a large part of his character and it would be somewhat irresponsible to shrug that off when speaking about his character in the alternate timeline that the original ekko drops in on.

powder is characterized as brighter and happier than jinx when she grows up in this universe with a support system, obviously, but she still has a tendency to anger. this is shown through how she tells ekko to get out before she does something she'll regret rather than rolling over in the face of his interrogation and insensitive statements. she also holds a grudge, as we see it takes ekko physically taking her to see vi's painted memorial in the firelight lair before she stops scowling at him in the bar and warms up to him again.

looking at all of these things, i think it's a fair assumption to make that following vi's death, there was a period of time where powder directly blamed ekko for what happened, and that ekko blamed himself as well. this, in my opinion, doesn't cheapen their relationship when they grow up into the people we see in s2ep7, but deepens it.

i think the act of forgiving is something that takes a long time, whether you're forgiving yourself or someone else, and ekko and powder's relationship being as comfortable and easy as it is in s2ep7 speaks to the fact that they had a long stretch of time to get to that space where they could move past the circumstances that led to vi's death. at least, they both do until original timeline ekko drops in and reopens that wound, which in turn leads powder to throw blame back in his face, similarly to how i assume she must have done directly following vi's passing.

the idea that powder and ekko in this alternate timeline had to move past anger, grief, guilt, and blame makes their relationship feel more heartfelt than if they were locked in since day one and there was no more work to be done. love as something that has to be earned and worked for even in a world where things seem mostly ideal shows that it wasn't just a fluke that they got together but a deliberate continuous choice to work through trauma to allow themselves to be together.

it also legitimizes the idea that original timeline ekko and jinx could hypothetically be together as well. not just because we see "oh, one version of powder and ekko can get together so this one can, too" but because both versions have baggage to work past before getting together, but the universe we see displays how this pair managed that with the luxury of a support system and a kinder environment that original timeline ekko and jinx unfortunately weren't afforded.

i think this also makes their team-up in s2ep9 more heartfelt because we can see ekko move past blame when he comes back for jinx to help in the fight, similarly to how i assume ekko in the alternate timeline had to work through his own to eventually get together with powder. both relationships hinge on the fact that they have to put effort in to get comfortable with each other following the consequences of the job that ekko sent them on rather than letting the alternate universe relationship ultimately act as a fluke that can't be replicated because of how drastically different that world is.
