Sometimes when I go hundreds pages deep into people’s Tumblr archives, I find really funny posts and I weigh the pros and cons of liking/reblogging them.

Pros: I’ll have access to them later because they’re fucking hilarious

Cons: They might think I’m creepy. Despite the fact that it’s public and on the Internet, it is not socially acceptable to let anyone know the extent that you creeped their archives.

I hereby extend blanket permission for anyone to creep on my archive, and to like and reblog posts from it if they want to. It’s really quite flattering.

Question: Why can one not Finite Incantatem death when it has been magically caused?

Finite works on most things, does it not? Undoes a Transfiguration, undoes enchantments, charms, hexes, jinxes, at least to a point. Where Finite does not work there is a counter curse, counter jinx, counter spell in some form.

Question: Why is there no such thing for Avada Kedavra?

Because, you see, if there was, it would not truly be death. Death is not an effect, it is a state of being. To kill the soul must be torn from the body, and how can that be undone? A soul torn free must pass on, or linger as a fragmented ghost of memory, and a soul  torn free cannot return to the body.

Death, you see, is not an effect. It is a state of being. It can be held off, but when it arrives, and we each of us shuffle off this mortal coil, it is final.

Ah, wizard separatism. Dude needs to talk to some Muggles about resuscitation.

(Well, I suppose this might be set in a time before Muggles started figuring out some of the more basic death-reversals, but this is the sort of thing that even a modern-day wizard separatist might say.)

There are two types of people in the world: those who react to learning that you can use touch screens with your tongue with disgust and those who immediately go to lick their phones.

i’m gonna go ahead and assume that the reason this doesn’t have many notes is because you’re all too busy making out with your phones

i’m so glad this has taken off because

yes yes, i, too, love tumblr’s favorite actors. misha collins, david tennant, and *looks at smudged ink on hand* benedict cumberbatch

We’ve turned mispronouncing Bidet Cankersore’s name into a popular enough joke that merely saying his name correctly is now a legitimately funny punchline.

We’ve delved too deep into this joke.

There’s no escape.

Tell my children I love them.

the alphabet one is awesome

THESE ARE BRILLIANT.
(Can someone explain the alphabet one to me? My sleep deprived brain cannot comprehend.)

I presume the names of the alphabet letters are being spelled out phonetically and then alphabetized — “ay, aitch, arr, bee” and so on. Of course the exact order depends on how one phonetically transcribes the letter names; I would’ve started with “eh, bee, see” not “ay, bee, see”, but then vowels are tricky and most of what gives us varying accents. ^_^
