part of me hopes adult harry james potter is currently apparating here and there and everywhere without a proper apparition license because he never actually got one and no one at the ministry wants to be That Asshole™
that brings it to his attention

bruce wayne maintains a presence on all conspiracy theory boards with the screen name BruceWayneIsTheBatman and all his posts have titles like “BRUCE WAINE IS BAT-MAN INDISPUTABLE PROOF” and it’s just a picture of Bruce Wayne from the back next to a picture of Batman from behind and they both have the contours of their butt drawn on in a shitty MSPaint red line (note: Bruce is in a suit and Batman has a cape, neither of their butts are clearly discernible) and the quote “THE BUTTS MATCH!!! THE FACTS DON’T LIE!!!!!” and he makes at least three of these posts a day, and “Bruce Wayne is the Batman” becomes a meme a la “Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer” and he gets asked about it on a talk show and he laughs uproariously at the idea and Stephen Colbert just HAPPENS to have a batman mask under the desk and they do a bit together where Bruce Wayne puts on the mask and walks around saying things like “excuse me, bank robbers, can I perhaps offer you some money to stop you robbing this bank?” and “I say, cease and desist your criminal behavior or I’ll have my butler ask you to leave” and the audience is LOSING THEIR MINDS laughing at the idea of this pampered rich guy taking on the Joker on a bi-weekly basis and then anyone who suggests “Bruce Wayne is Batman” in earnest gets met with mocking “oh man do the butts match” comments
so listen
after the jakku debacle poe installs a ‘find my droid’ app on his space smartphone, which he owns because i refuse to believe a galaxy that has ftl travel and the giant slug mafia still communicates via walkie-talkies. anyway, he installs a ‘find my droid’ app and bb-8 is So Moved that he immediately writes a ‘find my pilot’ protocol to go with it
do you think leia felt everyone on alderaan die but because she didn’t know she was force sensitive she thought it was all her own pain, do you think unknowingly force sensitive people all over the galaxy in the middle of sleeping or cooking dinner or kissing their children goodnight suddenly felt their hearts torn out and had no idea why
no but like
imagine finn as the stormtrooper messiah, patron saint of rebellion
like i’ve no doubt that there have been defecting stormtroopers before, but those would have been ppl who went mia or were assumed or simply left for dead
not like finn, who freed a resistance prisoner, stole a tie fighter, survived the ensuing crash, daringly escaped first order pursuit to bring crucial intel to the resistance, then was instrumental in the assault on and resulting destruction of the starkiller base, AND FOUGHT KYLO REN IN A LIGHTSABER DUEL AND SURVIVED
finn must be the single most high profile former stormtrooper in the galaxy, and i mean, no matter how hard the first order will try to keep word of him from reaching the ears of their troopers, they will fail
just imagine all these stormtroopers, people with no names, living lives they’ve been taught don’t belong to them, hearing the stories of finn the traitor, the defector, the rebel, the person
imagine all these people hearing about finn, the things he did, the things he chose, and realizing that they don’t need to be what they’ve been taught, they don’t need to be nameless, they don’t need to be choiceless, they don’t need to be less in any way at all
imagine all these people picking their own names, making their plans, making their choices, rebelling, defecting
(imagine it becoming a trend among some to take the name “finn” as a last name, a family name, because without him they might still be nameless)
some of them will be caught, will be reeducated or killed, but instead of the examples they’re supposed to be, they will be seen as martyrs for the cause, heroes of freedom
and imagine when these people find their way to the resistance, because shouldn’t that be the thing to strive for, to be a fighter against the violence that enslaved and oppressed them?
imagine finn finding out that his actions was the catalyst for the liberation of his people, that he changed the lives of hundreds of people who were trapped and afraid just like him
IMAGINE FINN AND HIS DEFECTOR TROOPER BUDDIES ORGANIZING UNDERGROUND RAILROAD TYPE SYSTEMS FOR FREEING PEOPLE STILL ENSLAVED, DOING RAIDS ON TRAINING CAMPS AND FREEING CHILD TROOPERS AND CRIPPLING THE ORDER’S PERSONNEL PIPELINE
IDEK I’M JUST VERY EMOTIONAL AND CRYING A LOT
Can I interest you in a beautifully written 42,000-word fanfic that follows this exact premise? I’m sure others have already made the same recommendation, but even so…
Headcanon: When people get married in the Pokemon world, they have a best man and maid of honour as you’d expect. But the bride(s)/groom(s) also each have a “best Pokemon”, normally their starter or the Pokemon on their team that they’re closest to. It is also traditional for a Pokemon to be the ring bearer, generally something that can actually hold rings, like a Medicham or Alakazam. (If the starter isn’t the “best Pokemon” they’re normally this.) Also, all of the Pokemon the bride(s)/groom(s) train will normally attend the wedding.
Outdoor weddings are popular because just you try fitting a Tropius and a Nidoqueen inside a church.
An Alakazam that knows it’s trainers future husband isn’t a good person so at the wedding when the priest asks if anyone objects it’s cries out and uses Psychic to throw him across the room
Classic tattoos of the pokemon world
– Gyrados: often winding around a person’s arm. Popular among sailors.
– Seaking: sometimes paired with a goldeen.
– Houndoom: Often depicted either as a bust with stylized flames, or full body with exaggerated tail.
– Pokeball: Recently popularized by a famous trainer who used pokeball tattoos to represent lost team members.
– Ho-oh: With wings outstretched. Depictions of Ho-oh vary greatly.
– Arcanine: With snarling mouth and flames
– Honedge: with its “tail” like a banner, often seen with text.
– Luvdisc: Often carrying a banner with the name of a loved one.
– Zangoose fighting Seviper: who is winning varies among individuals.

In which Kit, Ronan, and Darryl become friends with another abdal/Pillar and it’s Darryl who ends up discovering what their friend is and going, “But seriously, guys, you can’t tell them that they’re a Pillar or all these bad things happen” and Kit and Ronan giving each other a look
I have so many questions and headcanons about the internet and the wizarding world.
No, listen.
Headcanon that muggles are catching wizards and witches doing magic and uploading it to vine and youtube. It doesn’t matter what the obliviators do because even if they erase the muggle’s memory the whole damn thing is on the internet. The Ministry doesn’t have a clue how to manage the situation, nobody knows what the internet is, so Kingsley drags in a muggleborn and they have to explain to him about doge and lolcatz and Facebook and Kingsley’s like, ‘Wat.’
To try and stop leaks the Ministry sets up a squad of witches and wizards whose sole job is to monitor the internet for pictures, videos and photos of anyone doing magic. Somebody has to make awkward arrangements to try and get internet installed in the Ministry. Somebody has to spend hours on the phone to the cable company and gets really frustrated when they get put on hold for ten hours.
The new team spend all day watching youtube videos and vines and it’s the best job ever for anybody who’s muggleborn. One team members learns how to code and hack muggle websites to they can remove any videos that breach the statute of secrecy; a whole new branch of magic is invented when someone finds a way to use magic to manipulate the internet. The job itself can be pretty boring. Days can go by with nothing happening and then somebody will shout, ‘Fuck sake somebody in Liverpool just uploaded a vine of somebody on a broomstick to the music of hocus pocus’ and they all have to run. If the team can’t get a video removed from the internet they spend a lot of time and energy trolling the comment section of Youtube making points about how the video is obviously bullshit to try and put doubt in the minds of muggles. Some ministry workers start writing clickbait artiles for Buzzfeed called, ‘Ten reasons why that ‘Dragons exist’ video is problematic’ or ‘Everyone on the internet belives this ten year old kid can do magic and it’s hilarious’. Some ministry workers spend hours on Reddit, Twitter and Facebook writing snarky comments about how the vines about magic are wrong and made up. It becomes a legitimate career move for a witch or wizard to spend hours on the internet.
So yeah.
I have a lot of questions.
I’ve been thinking lately about Dairine’s Ordeal and that whole “singlehandedly stopping the expansion of the universe” stunt that she pulled, and an interesting thought occurred to me. Assuming that Dari did indeed put a freeze on the entire universe and not just locally (either of which I consider entirely plausible), and that incredible flare of light happened everywhere, can you imagine what happened on Wellakh at that time?
Can you imagine the Wellakhit— a people taught by hard experience to fear sunfire above anything else— and their reaction to the entire universe suddenly going up in blinding light? It must have seemed like the end of days. I imagine the royal family had a hell of a time dealing with that particular mess.
Which makes me wonder if part of Roshaun’s initial resentment of Dairine comes from his having done his reading, so to speak— just as he encouraged her to do more than once— and discovered the précis of her Ordeal. Clearly based on their climactic argument in Wizard’s Holiday, he’s aware of some of her career history, so it’s not a stretch to imagine him looking over the details of her Ordeal and just
Do you mean she’s the one responsible for that shitshow?!?!?!
except probably phrased a tad more elegantly because this is Roshaun we’re talking about
