This has to be a bit no harry potter loving lib would ever say Lenin is good.
I thought they counter-arrested any Lenin knowledge with "he personally killed the Romanov children 😭 😭 😭 "
Seriously though, what defining trait does Hufflepuff have besides being the stupid kids.
Ravenclaw is nerds, Gryffindor is heroes and good people, Slytherin are magic nazis.
Being kind. Being miscellaneous. Being a side character.
Honestly, not sure.
I get labeled as a Hufflepuff by my friends for being bubbly. Although, my roommate just says I'm a bottom that talks too much. (She's never been a fan of HP, like even before the JK comments)
A lot of the more apolitical normie libs have incoherent politics. Random grab bags of ideology.
They might just have seen some movie or piece of art that made Lenin look cool. People in America are dumb as fuck
But... I thought the US was at the brink of a SmugBrooklinPodcasters-lead anarcho-communist revolution. Dammit
Trotsky is Snape. He was a Menshevik who joined the Bolsheviks and then fled the country, but Dumbledore had him tracked down and merked because snitches get stitches.
I sort wedding guests by the animal kingdom from which their fursona is derived.
The animal phyla are chordates, arthropods, mollusks, and then several kinds of worms and things most people would confuse with plants. If you can classify your friends according to those without everyone ending up at the same table, you've got friends with some very unusual favorite animals.
You can keep going down the tree losing very few animals people care about at each step all the way down to amniotes.
Couples were separated, but only for dinner.
I'm surprised half her wedding guests didn't bail on her as soon as they found out about this. I fucking would have.
I wonder if the different houses got different meals.
Also "all children are slytherin" fucking lol
The Harry Potter universe is about children all being different houses lmao
Yeah like legit you don't begin to learn morality until you're about 5 years old.
Sometimes people make it all the way to their late 90s without learning any either!
They didn't have people take tests, they spent likely weeks debating over the houses of every guest.
(Which she won with facts and logic because she's Ravenclaw duh)
I've read 6 of the books and I have literally no idea what makes someone a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff.
If you try to explain it to me I'll report you.
After weeks of debating it never came up to maybe sort tables by how they knew each other?
I don't care if this is a bit or not, because we exist in a world where either scenario is equally likely. Schroedinger's Bit.
maybe sort tables by how they knew each other?
That would be a gryffindor thing to do, come on.
The other magical schools don't share the same houses in the books right?
It's strange how people only ever treat the Hogwarts houses as the Harry Potter world religion.
Yeah, the other schools are foreign, so, like all foreigners, they're themselves one note, i.e., the French are girly girls and the Slavs are badass but lowkey evil.
The only reason Hogwarts has different personality houses is because it had 4 different personality founders. (I'm sorry for knowing this. It lives in my head and I have to get it out.)
So, yeah this is some weird shit and splitting couples is a bad call for something like a wedding, but it's actually a good thing to mix your guests up so they talk to each other and have fun in most contexts.
Supposedly it's Merlin that got auto-corrected into Lenin. Also Lenin was totally a Ravenclaw.
Holy fuck dude.
Allow me to step into this fucking book series. I read half of them as a kid.
At the beginning, I think Dumbledore describes the different houses. He describes Slytherin as like, ambitious.
HE WAS BLOWING FUCKING SMOKE DIPSHITS
It's just the bucket for the Nazi faction. It's the Magic Nazi house. They say "ambitious" because the Magic Nazis are established into society - they have their own fucking part of the school. They're not gonna say "oh, Griffyndor is brave, Ravenclaw is nerds, Hufflepuff are bitch boys, and Slytherin are a bunch of scumfuck nazi pigs" when they work at the fucking school.
But all these dumb fuck lib ultranerds are incapable of reading subtext, on an already lib as fuck book, and come away with "oh this is just a personality test LMAO im an INTJ Hufflepuff SQUEEEE"
If you're gonna be the most annoying fucking nerd, at least recognize that the pro-genocide, pro-slavery people are evil. Oh wait, they can't even do that in real life.
Well yeah, but they were the difference between typically racist British dipshits, and skinheads.
This is literally one of my favourite posts. The responses on the Twitter + Reddit threads were gold.
And of course: What is to be done?
If we ever do flairs like on r/CTH I'm definitely going with "Lenin? From communism?" a m a z i n g
"I have serious doubts about your mental acumen and weather you deserve to be in ravenclaw" I lost it here
wtf slytherin is obviously the badguys this is just lying to yourself, sigh
Favorite house hobby: bullying. Top parental background: aristocrat with Nazi past. Most common postgraduate occupation: career criminal. Role model: wizard Hitler. Author's note: "Many of them are very fine people, modeled after some of my best friends."
Even before the TERF stuff, the fact that the bankers in Harry Potter are a race of ugly, greedy creatures with big noses that are super protective of their secrets was already highkey sus.
Snape is secretly good! He’s just a misunderstood incel bully Nazi creep.
Flashbacks to when I was talking to a dude on okcupid that self indentified as an empath and tried to explain to me why them being in Slytherin wasn't a bad thing.
wtf is an empath? there has been a lot of time since last reading that word
Giant red flag (and not a good one like :flag-su: ) for stay the fuck away from them because they're most likely going to tell you what they "know" you're thinking and there's no way you can ever convince them otherwise.
An empath is someone who can (supposedly) telepathically perceive the emotions of people around them.
It's what Peter Petrelli can do in Heroes. It's a superpower that lets you mimic the powers of others around you.
Firstly, Lenin went to Koldovstoretz, the Russian Wizarding School. Second, read literally any other book.
Long shot, but could we get the libs onboard with a revolution by calling it "that which must not be televised"?
It's JK rowling, so we can assume everyone to the left of tony blair is canonically in slytherin.
