What if the reason argument is seen as flirting on Cardassia is because it’s a very risky/personal thing, to express disagreement. Their entire culture is built around loyalty (read: unquestioningly following orders), and for someone to not blindly follow orders is treason, the punishment is eviction from society (whether by exile or death). So to vocally disagree with someone else might imply that they have a close bond where they can safely be disloyal and not be evicted from the relationship.
reasons i think harry potter is indian
- harry could be anglicised form of hari, which is another name for the indian god vishnu who reincarnates on earth to restore justice
- potter could be anglicised potdar or potluri
- the night he died, james was making pretty-colored lights for harry 31 october 1981 was deepavali, the indian festival of lights
- fleamont potter making money through potions after coming from india as a first gen. immigrant
- fleamont potter made hair potions which was really just charmed coconut oil
- people would notice harry’s green eyes all the time if he was half desi
- when harry has visions through voldemorts eyes that he always distances himself using voldemort’s whiteness or how pale the hand was or something to that effect
- unlikely couple james and lily potter prophesied to have a world-saving baby is literally the motif of the indian epic kumarasambhava
- harry flying on buckbeak is god vishnu on garuda iconography
- i am indian
- and i like harry potter
- he’s my sweet sunflower child
OK, but this is so accepted (at least by the Tumblr Potterheads I know) that I just assumed that JK had done one of her famous post-book-rewrites and said that harry had Indian descent or something. I’m here for Indian Harry
just the fact that ppl still argue over who tops/bottoms straight up proves that ineffable husbands are switches, they both give off heavy bottom energy and (service) top energy
no i don't take constructive criticism
what if dean was afraid that the pearl would inadvertently give him cas dressed only in his tie so he accidentally thought of the biggest cockblock concept of all time: john winchester pointing a gun at him
- Cas’ inner dialogue during the “meeting the mother” scene
- Who is this woman Dean?
- Why did she seem confused when we hugged?
- I don’t like the way she’s looking at me.
- Oh , My Dad! Is she your girlfriend Dean?
- When , where, how? - Deaaaaaaaaan!
- Spit it out!
- ?????😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤
- You wife ? 💔💔💔💔💔
- Wait !
- Phew! Thank Dad !
Bonus :
Mary : *friends my ass!*
This is perfection. 😂
Headcanon: I can muster a cogent argument for why it would make more sense or make for a better story if this were the case
Heartcanon: I don’t have a particular rationale for why this ought to be the case, I just like to imagine it’s true because it gives me the warm fuzzies
Gutcanon: it’s not that I actively want this to be the case – it just unaccountably feels like it should be
Junkcanon: I like to imagine it’s true because it gives me the other kind of warm fuzzies
Spleencanon: I insist that this is the case specifically to spite the author, because, like, fuck you, sir or madam
AU where Minerva McGonagall has a little less faith in Albus Dumbledore so she does agree to leave Harry at the Dursleys.
But then proceeds to move right in next door with her wife because Albus never said that she couldn’t.
So Harry grows up with two grandmalike aunties next door, who basically finnagle him into living with them in all but name. It’s great, until he gets to Hogwarts because he keeps accidentally calling McGonagall Aunt Min instead of Professor.
The more I think about this the better it gets because suddenly a small biracial orphan appearing on the Dursley’s doorstep is less scandalous and gossip worthy in the pasty ass white suburbia of Privet Drive, when it’s compared to the elderly lesbian interracial couple who moved in next door.
elmie. you know that john mulaney skit when he played "what's new pussycat" on repeat with one "it's not unusual" in the middle? what if during mystery spot instead of waking up to "heat of the moment" sam wakes up to "what's new pussycat" and one time he thinks it's done he wakes up to "it's not unusual" and then it goes back to "what's new pussycat". i need someone to edit this.
this is probably the single greatest concept ever conceived
what if the reason nobody can tell fred and george apart is because they really are interchangeable
not in a ~it doesn’t matter~ way but like. molly and arthur used to worry that fred and george might turn out to be squibs because they weren’t doing any accidental magic as children, but they were, THEY TOTALLY WERE, it just wasn’t anything flashy, instead they were just like idly switching bodies all the time
and like sometimes it doesn’t make much of a difference, whatever, wake up in the opposite bed you went to sleep in, but it gets like dangerous and weird if you’re on a broom or in the pond or letting your mum teach you to cook or trying to be mad stealth, so for a long long time everybody presumes they’re clumsy maybe-squibs and that they’re doing their twin lying thing when they try to explain what’s going on, so they learn to handle the issue their ownselves
they just. don’t go anywhere without the other. they start each day deciding which body is going to be which (because at this point they really don’t know which body is technically fred and which is technically george), and they learn to reorient FAST when they switch, and what things set them off, and eventually they learn how to act like nothing’s up even when one of them’s in the air and one’s on the ground or whatever, and then they burn past that til they can finish each other’s sentences — til they can switch midsentence — til they can play beater together — til they can switch in a split second in the middle of a game — til there’s room for other kinds of accidental magic to start showing up
at hogwarts they keep each other awake in history of magic by switching back and forth. in potions they take turns brewing and keeping lookout for the slytherins. in transfiguration and charms they keep their grades up because one of them will always get a spell right on the first try so they switch and make it look like both of them do and then they practice on their own later in private. it keeps the mystery alive.
at first they thought lee was just a lucky guesser but no, lee can always tell one twin from another twin — it’s not exactly telling fred from george, because while they are definitely two distinct personalities neither one of them feels like fred all the time or george all the time — but lee knows who he argued with yesterday or who he lent his notes to or who’s best to ask for help in astronomy and who’s best at runes.
the weasleys are pretty bad at it for the longest time, but then bill comes home from his first year cursebreaking and he can tell, and over a holiday he teaches his trick to charlie so charlie can tell. alicia and katie and angelina can tell. the twins honestly don’t know if oliver can tell or not; so long as they’re doing what they’re supposed to on the quidditch pitch he doesn’t really care about much else. harry can tell. luna can tell. tonks can tell.
the problem is there’s no way for this to end happily
YES THERE IS
THERE IS INDEED A WAY FOR THIS TO END HAPPILY LISTEN UP
so after fred dies, george hates being trapped in one body, feels claustrophobic, misses fred so much he thinks it might drive him insane
but then one day
george blinks and he’s somewhere he wasn’t a second ago, he’s in a place full of white light and he can’t orient himself, can’t ground himself, feels dizzy and sick and overwhelmed but it only lasts for about thirty seconds.
then he’s back in his own body.
and he looks down at his chest, his legs, his arms, there’s an ear missing so it’s definitely still his living body, but there’s something written on his arm, scrawled in messy quill ink.
“i love you. i miss you.”
george flips out, washes off the ink and immediately writes a message in reply— “how’s death going?”
he walks around with that message written on his arm for weeks, always keeping a quill pen somewhere nearby, waiting, waiting, before it finally happens again. the switch. george is alive, so he can’t handle being in the afterlife, he feels dizzy and sick and it’s the worst feeling in the world, but it doesn’t last long, and when he gets back to his living body, there’s a long message from fred waiting on his right thigh, the ink still drying.
this goes on for years, never as often as either twin would like, but it’s enough. fred helps george figure out how to propose to angelina, fred helps plan the wedding. sometimes it’s fred in george’s body when angelina kisses her husband. sometimes she suspects, but she doesn’t mind in the slightest.
it gets easier as george gets older. the times when he switches into fred’s afterlife don’t hurt as much. he almost feels comfortable there, almost feels oriented. he knows he’s getting closer to dying.
then when george is past ninety, lying on his deathbed, he writes a careful message on his palm. “i’m coming soon. where are you?”
they switch, it lasts for almost five minutes this time, and when george gets back into his own body, he sees the instructions fred wrote over his heart.
“you’ll wake up in king’s cross station. take the second train and get off at the third stop. i’ll be waiting.”
THIS IS THE BEST GODDAMN HARRY POTTER HEADCANON I HAVE EVER READ I AM C R Y I N G

Is Lucifer getting Dean's prayer along with Cas? I love unwilling third wheel!Luci so much for some reason. He deserves to suffer :P
This is my favourite headcanon and no one is going to take it away from me.
I mean on the one hand I feel bad about the privacy violation but on the other, it’s now firmly established fanon that Dean’s longing can be heard by Cas anyway and I think we have enough evidence to say Dean’s been longing 24/7 since he found out, AND he’s got to be lobbing reassuring prayers at Cas whenever he has some down time or feels stuck on the research, so at first, like, right after Cas gets possessed, Lucifer is just like “Oh this is cute, he’s worried about you”
and then three days later it’s like “does he ever STOP worrying about you?”
then “Castiel, your annoying little human pet is in the same ROOM as us why is he STILL praying?”
“Cas, this isn’t funny any more I’m going to fly over there and break up with him for you if he doesn’t stop soon”
“How can it be even worse how he knows you’re off the market and taken by me? I should have killed him when I had the chance!”
“Castiel, your boyfriend is praying to you while watching a wrestling match. Cut your losses with this dudebro. Friendly advice.”
“What if I started texting him back every time he did it? That might shut him up.”
“Cas I swear to Dad he just prayed to you while writing a shopping list. I say we let Amara eat him just for some peace and quiet up in here.”
“Castiel, you know what, I am actually starting to feel some grudging respect for what you put up with if it’s like this all the time.”
“Oh for fuck’s sake, he STILL at it, NOW, while talking to YOU - I can’t take it any more!”
“DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE DEAN WINCHESTER?”
Oh man, headcanon so fucking accepted!
My first thought was “is that Hermione?”
And then: “#behold your new hermione headcanon”
what if the hickey had been on the back of dean’s neck
Headcanon that air guitar mullet man was Ash’s imaginary friend.
