people making all these nitpicks about Harry Potter canon and my only question is why didn’t we see people Cumberbatching Voldemort instead of calling him You Know Who like
“Oh no, it’s Moldywarts!”
“But we have to be careful because Toadybloat’s followers might hear”
“Ah yes the great and powerful Haggisplate”
“Refusal to say a name gives that name power, Harry. But mutilating the hell out of it to the point that people can’t take it seriously anymore strips that power away.”
“Vimeofail… Volvodoor… Vulvadynia… Fuck, what’s the Dark Lord’s real name again? I can’t fucking remember.”
I’m patiently waiting for ‘’Cumberbatching’’ to enter the OED as a verb
You can discover the weirdest things digging into your family history.
For example:
Apparently, I have a great-great-uncle who was cursed by a witch after stiffing her on the repayment of one-dollar loan. (Why he borrowed a dollar from a witch in the first place is not recorded.)
I also have a great-grandfather, a beekeeper by profession, who’s alleged to have spontaneously combusted one day while tending his bees.
As far as I can tell, these events are completely unrelated – the two men are on different branches of the family tree, and never met – but I can’t help but imagine that somewhere out there, there’s a witch with unbelievably bad aim.
I’m so excited that we finally get to meet the guy who scatters the rose petals in magical girl anime. His work in Sailor Moon S was some of his finest. I’m a huge fan.
