Honestly I’m not gonna survive the apocalypse. Y’all go on gathering berries and drinking cockroach milk (apparently) and forming barter economies and I’m gonna stay in my house until the last of my seltzer runs out and then I’m gonna put on an all cashmere outfit and lay down and die. Have fun fending off the coyotes and doomsday cults and living on expired canned goods in a world with no more Netflix. Pass.
actually, as a continuation of my ‘cast the marauders as the right ages’ rant, doing that would just highlight how tragic their situation was
like, they were 21 when the first wizarding war ended. when they were 21, lily and james were dead and their young child was an orphan, peter was directly responsible for their deaths and a mass-murderer, sirius was being taken to azkaban for a crime he didn’t commit, and remus was the last one of his friends, as far as he knew, who was alive and free, facing twelve years of poverty and hardship.
and i think casting them as older kind of detracts from that?
One morning in mid-December Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.
Philosopher’s Stone, Chapter 12
Hey, remember that time Fred and George Weasley bewitched a bunch of snowballs to punch Voldemort repeatedly in the face?
adam sandler’s shooting a movie at my (very queer liberal arts) college this week and facebook has become a very surreal place. people keep posting stuff like “man i thought adam sandler would be a jerk but i just keep seeing him complimenting peoples’ pastel hair dye and helping people carry things” and “aw man i’m gonna be late to class, i cant leave the building because adam sandler is kicking the shit out of ben stiller”
