cute story of the day:

so my godmother has an 8 y/o son who we’ll call Max for this post. like most 8 y/o, he has heard a lot about fortnite. However, his mum doesn’t want him to play because it’s too violent for his age (tbh, I agree) and also bc they’re not allowed a lot of computer/gaming time a day.

so the other day, he invited some of his friends at home and they’re all playing Legos. I’m drinking tea in the living room when he comes up to me and ask me for help for a game. I follow him to his room and there he hands me a dozen of lego guns? so I’m like wtf

but then he explains that he and his friends are playing a live version of fortnite and that he needs me to hide the weapons all over the room so the little Lego characters can run around, “land” and try to find them

idk it’s really so cute to me? that’s such a creative idea and a good way for him to relate to the trend without disobeying his mum, and while being more active and building his own world? idk I just love it

also, side note : when these strategy battle games became really popular, his parents helped him and his brother build a board game version of it so they could play without losing their screen time

Fred and George would have been in slytherin if Rowling didn’t hate slytherins so much and that’s that on that

Add Percy to the list. Man’s personality revolves around the central Slytherin trait: ambition.

Truth

No. They would have been in Slytherin if the Weasleys didn’t hate Slytherins so much.

Remember that whole thing where your house is ultimately up to you, when you show traits from multiple houses? And do you remember how much pressure Ron was feeling to be in Gryffindor, since the rest of his family was reppin the scarlett and gold? Do you not think that the twins and Percy might have asked the Sorting Hat not to be placed in Slytherin, just as Harry did?

It fits into the plot quite nicely and could explain why both the twins and Percy rebelled in their own ways; perhaps they had to suppress their Slytherin sides for so long that their frustrations manifested as pranks or poor judgement calls. It’s discrimination built in to the story world, not shitty call by the author.

i don’t remember if there was an explanation for why peter was the secret keeper and not remus? it doesn’t matter anyway as it won’t ever make sense to me

sirius thought remus was the traitor and he was close enough to James and Lily to influence their decision

but why tho

(I’m tired and sick so Im not making a lot of sense maybe)

basically Remus was always away on missions and since he was undercover he couldnt tell anyone what he was doing? and also they knew one of the marauders was a spy and since it couldn’t be james and Sirius thought Peter was too cowardly to do it, he suspected remus

@captofthesswolfstar anything I’m forgetting?
