Today I learnt that Natalie Holt, composer of Loki and Queen of Lokius is the same Natalie Holt that threw eggs at Simon Cowell on Britain’s Got Talent and I don’t know what to do with this information
People keep leaving “Isn’t Bill’s first name Bilius?” comments on one of my HP posts and the answer is no. I checked before I posted. Bill Weasley’s first name is actually William.
“Do you, William Arthur, take Fleur Isabelle….?”
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 8. The Wedding
People are getting the name Bilius from a Weasley uncle, the one who saw a Grim and died twenty-four hours later. Ron’s middle name is also Bilius. Ron presumably was named for this uncle.
“Talking about Muriel?” inquired George, re-emerging from the marquee with Fred. “Yeah, she’s just told me my ears are lopsided. Old bat. I wish old Uncle Bilius was still with us, though; he was a right laugh at weddings.”
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 8. The Wedding
It’s kind of funny to imagine, though, that Bill could have grown up thinking that his name was Bilius. Kids often don’t know the “correct” names for things because the adults in their life refer to these things incorrectly as an in-joke or by nicknames. If everyone called him Bill and Bill grew up knowing his Uncle Bilius, then he could have very plausibly been under the impression for many years that his name was also Bilius.
Until, of course, September of 1982 rolls around.
Professor Minerva McGonagall opens a scroll and begins reading off the names of the first-years who are to be Sorted. She gets to the very last name on the list (entirely possible with a W name) and calls out: “WEASLEY, WILLIAM!”
11-year-old “Bill” Weasley, who has just this second found out that his first name is actually William: “…Who?!”
You can probably bet that Bill’s siblings sometimes called him Bilius as a joke too. Like, “BILIUS ARTHUR WEASLEY, HOW DARE YOU!”
Bill, unperturbed: “Yes, how dare I, Bilius Weasley, do this.”
Or maybe:
Charlie, speaking for all the Weasley siblings at the wedding: “YOUR NAME IS WILLIAM? SINCE WHEN???”
Bill: “Since always, apparently.”
Molly & Arthur: “What did you think his name was?”
Charlie: “I THOUGHT IT WAS BILIUS. LIKE UNCLE BILIUS.”
Arthur: “…No.”
Molly: “Why would you think that?”
Charlie: “WE’VE ONLY EVER CALLED HIM BILL?!?”
Charlie: “OH SHIT, WHAT’S MY NAME? DO I HAVE A SECRET NAME TOO?!”
Molly: “…You don’t… you don’t have secret names.”
Ron: “I want a better secret name than Ronald.”
Fred: “DIBS ON MANFREDO.”
Ginny: “I will now only answer to Ginwumpkinwinsalot.”
Right now, all I can imagine is new parent James Potter, half-asleep and completely out-of-it, grabbing the first blanket-like thing in reach to wrap baby Harry in, before putting him down and going back to bed.
In the morning, Lily shoves him awake and snaps, “I can’t find the baby or your dumb Invisibility cloak.”
And James just stares at her, then realizes, “I have made a terrible mistake.”
Tom Riddle was really so caught up with bullying a 12 year old that he forgot phoenix tears had healing properties and the movies chose NOT to include it when it’s literally the funniest scene in the entire series.
Depeche Mode + My Immortal quotes (1/?????)
Remember Narcissa Malfoy lied to Voldemort IN HIS FACE to save Harry Potter just because he told her that Draco is alive
Imagine when she learns later that Harry is actually the one who saved Draco from that fiendfyre so that he could tell her about Draco being safe
She’d totally be like okay we can leave anecdotes for another day but now Harry my dear have you and Draco talked about the design of your wedding cake
Since my last meme went so well...
Iwannapostthetagsbutmyinternetisntloadingyallneedtocheckitout. 💛💛💛💛

umm HI, you didn’t have to be so loud these are everything
OK BUT PLEASE BE LOUD THESE ARE AMAZING
it’s meme time with Severus Snape
He really is 🥺
It was a relief to return to the noise and bustle of the main school on Monday, where he was forced to think about other things, even if he had to endure Draco Malfoy’s taunting. Malfoy was almost beside himself with glee at Gryffindor’s defeat. He had finally taken off his bandages, and celebrated having the full use of both arms again by doing spirited imitations of Harry falling off his broom. Malfoy spent much of their next Potions class doing dementor imitations across the dungeon; Ron finally cracked and flung a large, slippery crocodile heart at Malfoy, which hit him in the face and caused Snape to take fifty points from Gryffindor.
absolutely iconic move by ron weasley
I’m sorry I have something stupid to say
You know those makeup videos where like they they show what the use and focus their brushes on the camera with their hand behind it and have an over voice over shit-
That but Snape with fucking potion shit
“You’re gonna need a scalpel…This is mine…I got this from dollar tree…We potioning on a budget…”
Snape projecting hard into his videos like
“Now you wanna get different tools for this- But with the salary of a teacher here forced to work for a school where the average death is once per year and the refuse to give me a raise-we’re just using this kitchen knife I got in the dollar bin.”
“And you’re gonna want to destroy this frog leg here- Kind of like how my dad destroyed any dreams of me living a stable life.”
Harry Potter would have been more interesting if this happened
this is too good
I think I mentioned a few months back a video I watched that ranked all the mcu iron man suits. Well, I was just irate. They put the IW armor way too low when it is by far one of the most fuckable.
So now, I’m making my own rating and ranking based on how sexy the Iron Man suits are. This will not take into account any “““practical concerns””” because that’s not how we fuck in this house. Not ranking on powers unless they make the suit sexier. Also won’t be counting most of the Iron Legion suits from IM3 because that’s too many and we don’t see all of their asses. Also won’t count War Machine or Rescue armors, or the second Hulkbuster since it was only used by Bruce.
Mark I from Iron Man- Not without a certain appeal I suppose, and it did save our boy, but I can’t help but feel the rust would be … uncomfortable. Would I fuck: no
Mark II from Iron Man and Iron Man 2 - Too silver. Plain. For some reason, my eyes keep going to the feet, and I don’t like it. Would I fuck: no
Mark III from Iron Man - Now we’re cooking with fire. Marl III is where the suits started getting sexy, as you can obviously tell. The shoulders are a bit off-putting, but much less noticeable in action. Would I fuck: yes
Mark IV from Iron Man 2 - I’m not IN LOVE with this one. Aesthetically, I think it’s a step down from its predecessor III and I don’t love what’s happening with the stomach. Also the … you know what, I won’t say it. Would I fuck: … maybe
Mark V from Iron Man 2 - I normally don’t go for the predominantly-silver suits, I’m more of a gold gal (what can I say, I have expensive tastes). But the suit armor is hot as hell. I love the suit-up scenes, arguably one of Tony’s best, and the plating is really hot. Also, when he curls his fingers before looking up at Vanko, they kind of look like claws, and … well, I’m weak. Would I fuck: yes
Mark VI from Iron Man 2 - An elaboration on Mark 4, this one switched to the triangle-shaped reactor, which I was not a fan of. Still not in love with the stomach plating, either. Would I fuck: maybe
Mark VII from The Avengers - Nothing particularly special about this one on its own that sets it apart from the others, but the way it forms around Tony as he’s free-falling through the sky? *chefs kiss* Nice. Would I fuck: yes
Mark XLII from Iron Man 3 - The next one that wasn’t an Iron Legion suit … and it kind of disappoints. Too much gold, and I don’t like the whole … ribbed stomach thing. You’re not an armadillo, Tony. Would I fuck: maybe, if I was REALLY feeling slutty
Mark XLIII from Avengers: Age of Ultron - Honestly? Kind of an underrated suit. Probably because of the shitty movie it’s in. It has the stomach thing, but in terms of color and smoothness, this is pretty nice. Would I fuck: yes
Mark XLIV from Avengers: Age of Ultron - aka the Hulkbuster. … I know what you’re all thinking. I’d give it a go. Would I fuck: damn I’ll try
Mark XLV from Avengers: Age of Ultron - Another underrated gem from Age of Ultron! It’s very sleek, which I like, and nothing stands out to me that’s bad/odd in terms of design. Overall, pretty hot! Would I fuck: yes
Mark XLVI from Captain America: Civil War - This movie is painful, but I would happily be in plenty of pain after a round with this suit, glory hallelujah! The ony complaint is that it’s a bit bulkier than I like, and the color is kind of … purplish? But it’s so smooth when it walks … Would I fuck: yes
Mark XLVII from Homecoming - I don’t fuck with the silver, not gonna lie. If I’m gonna get fucked by an Iron Man suit, I want a proper red-gold-silver ratio, which is like 65% red 30% gold and maybe 5% silver. Ish. Would I fuck: maybe
Mark L from Infinity War - This is what prompted my original response. This was way too low on the video I watched. This armor isn’t just sexy, this armor fucks. The nanotech it’s made with means it maybe could fuck??? And honestly, let the Mark L fuck. Let the Mark L fuck me. Would I fuck: YES
Mark LXXXV from Avengers: Endgame - This is bulkier than the L, which I normally don’t go for, but I kind of like it here??? It looks all … muscley. Not quite as extravagant as the previous tho, which is still my fave, although I like the colors better here. Would I fuck: yes
And now, to rank them, less-great to wanna see how fast I can get my bra off:
15. & 14. Mark I and Mark II (tied)
