my entry for @dorianartbook Fortitudo! 💕 It was an honour to be able to participate in this project for such a great cause, I want to thank everyone involved, you are all incredible!! the book is jawdroppingly beautiful!!
You know what they say, “You gotta plant the yams first. Then, when you have the yams, you have the power.” We’re pretty sure that’s how that one goes. Dive into Things Fall Apart as RJ makes far too many 90’s wrestling references while Megan, against her better judgment, recites some Kendrick Lamar lyrics, and we are all reminded that Imperialist White People Ruin Everything They Touch.
I just read “Hufflepuff isn’t a house where you can stick people who don’t fit in the other houses”
But the thing is? It literally it is, Helga Hufflepuff said she would take the rest.
She preferred the loyal and hardworking for her house, but felt that everyone should have a chance. Not a Gryffindor, a Slytherin, or a Ravenclaw? Not a loyal, hardworking Hufflepuff either?
Well that’s okay. Helga Hufflepuff founded her house believing anyone should be given a chance at Hogwarts. Those four archetypes aren’t all that matter, and if you don’t fit any of them Hufflepuff will still welcome you.
Godric/Rowena/Salazar were perfectly happy to say “You don’t fit into our houses, you can’t come to Hogwarts” and it was only Helga who was willing to say “You might not fit my ideals of a student, but you can still be in my house”
Like. I think that’s super cool. I don’t like it when people shoehorn Hufflepuff into being one and the same like the rest of the houses, sure, loyalty, hardworking, kindness.. that’s the priority.. but it’s truly a place for everyone. And that’s where Hufflepuff’s kindness shines the most.
‘I’ll teach the lot And treat them just the same.’
‘Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest and taught them all she knew’
Hufflepuff’s pride as a house comes not only from loyalty, hardworking, toil, and kindness, but from diversity. Something the other founders did not realize the importance of.
I never really thought about this- but you are 100% right.
There are three Cursed Namor’s that every Namor fan knows but never talks about. We acknowledge they exist and then promptly try to scrub the images from our minds.
Someone asked what the three Cursed Namor’s are and here is the unholy trinity:
The horror of these still give me nightmares.
yeeeeaaaah he’s had a lot of terrifically bad artists through the years but these are by far the worst
2. Presumes familiarity with the source material’s major characters and the broad outlines of its premise
3. Presumes familiarity with the events of individual episodes/chapters of the source material
4. Presumes familiarity with a particular fandom AU
5. Presumes familiarity with a specific headcanon, joke or meme known only to those who’ve been following the author’s blog since 2012
(This isn’t a joke or a callout post – at least, not entirely. I’m certainly not saying it’s wrong to write anything above a 2 or a 3, but it does pay to be aware of what tier you’re on. There’s a big difference between intentionally writing for a particular audience, and unwittingly limiting your readership because you don’t have a clear notion of what you’re demanding of them.)
From a readers point of view, tier one is a dangerous one as well. Because if you’re an amazing author and I’ve read all your stuff for the fandoms I’m in, but you’ve got a oneshot for a fandom I’m not in, and it has a summary general enough that I decide to give it a shot, then I’m going to read that fic, because I want more of your writing, and I’m going to enjoy it and grow curious about this new book/show/movie, and then next thing you know I’ve downloaded 5 seasons of a show and I haven’t seen sunlight in three days
… this is so accurate.
Dorset: You took quite a beating.
Tharkay: But I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos.
Laurence: Tharkay this isn’t funny.
Tharkay: I’m serious, captain. Thanks to the good doctor’s ministrations, I am almost completely healed. But the damage I did to them will last a lifetime.
