So it’s 3AM and It’s just occurred to me that the most telling scene in the entire Harry Potter franchise is the scene following the announcement of the participants of the Triwizard tournament.

When Harry’s name is pulled out of the cup, literally one of the first things he is asked is “did you ask an older boy to put your name in the cup for you?“ or something to that effect, insinuating that, that was something nobody prepared for and that it was something that totally would have worked if anyone had been smart enough to figure it out.

However, in an earlier scene a student is turned into a hundred year old man when they try to artificially age themselves with a potion and put their name into the cup. Meaning someone trying to dangerously age themselves with potion they aren’t familiar with was something the teachers genuinely considered to be more likely than someone asking for fucking help from another student.

In other words, the wizards in Harry Potter’s world are so reliant on magic that it doesn’t occur to anyone save for people like Harry that asking for help is even an option in a given situation. This explains why wizards are so fucking ass-backwards at everything, they’re so confident that their magic is capable of doing everything for them that it has never occurred to fucking anyone that perhaps asking for help from the muggle world might be of some use.

Think about it, the wizarding world hasn’t changed in hundreds of years while in that same space of time the muggle world has figured out fucking space travel. I know it’s a cliché to say to say someone could have fucking shot Voldemort, but seriously, somebody totally fucking could have, he killed like 50 people, he was effectively a terrorist, if anyone in the wizarding world bothered to ask for help from the muggles instead of just telling them there was an invisible asshole flying around shooting death curses at everyone, they may have been able to help. 

Pretty much the only reason Voldermort thinks he’s better than muggles is because he’s able to kill them with impunity using magic, something he’s only able to do so easily because muggles don’t understand what magic is. Voldemort is basically like a fucking disease, he’s an invisible, lurking entity preying on mankind from the shadows like a cowardly piece of shit. You know what else did that? Smallpox and we stomped that to death the second we understood it. That’s the difference between muggles and wizards, when muggles don’t understand something, they figure it out.

And here’s the kicker, the only reason muggles don’t understand magic at all is because the wizarding world deliberately withholds information about it. However, even if the wizarding world kept doing that, it’d only be a matter of time until a muggle figured out what magic was and how to stop or harness it because that’s what humanity does, it pushes past what we think is impossible to see what’s on the other side. We didn’t understand the sun as a species originally and now we use it to power satellites and smartphones.

The wizarding world isn’t a realm of infinite possibilities, it’s a universe of strict limitations where boundaries are never questioned. The muggle world is where the real magic happens. That’s why during the course of the Harry Potter books, which are set between 1991 and 1998, the muggle world (our world) discovered dark matter, cloned a sheep and invented fucking MP3s while the wizarding world were literally paying some dipshit to figure out what the purpose of a rubber duck was.

Wow, I really shouldn’t think about this stuff when it’s like 3AM, it gets kind of dark.

How to Add Tinsel to a wig / Inside Out Tutorial

Supplies

Wig (Pictured EpicCosplay Chronos in Classic Green)

Wig Brush or Wide Tooth Comb

One hair clip

Curved Sewing Needle

Hair Flair (Tensile) - Used about 70 Tensiles when finished for this particular wig

Scissors

1. Make sure the wig is brushed properly and cleaned, before sectioning out a portion from the top layers of the wig.

2. There are two ways to do this, the most secure way is to thread the needle as if you were to sew a piece of fabric, knotting the ends.

3. Find the piece of wefting you would like to attach the strand to and slip the needle either straight into the wefting or around it. I chose to go through the wefting. Pull the needle through gently to keep from stretching the Tensile or breaking it. Stop before pulling it all the way through and pass the needle through the small loop made at the end of the tensile.

4. Once the needle has been passed through the loop, pull it closed. Snip the tensile free of the needle. Secure by taking the now two ends of the tensile and tying them once. Trim to desired length in the wig.

5. Repeat steps 1-4, Placement is everything.

6. For the very top, Take about 4 strands of the Tensile and thread them through the needle. Repeat step 2 for threading. Take your needle and use it to push through the skincap on the wig, Pull gently and snip the ends, disperse as wanted across the top to create a “natural” growth.

7. Style as desired

This can be applied to any wig styling and is not limited to the characters of Inside Out

Hair Tensile may be flat ironed, curled, and washed, however be wary when buying cheaper hair tensiles from ebay/Accessory stores and double check the product packaging.

it occasionally occurs to me that pretty much all sj issues can be summed up as “don’t hurt people” with a sidenote of “you can hurt people on accident, but they’re still hurt so apologize and learn from it”

basically at the core of it, it’s similar to “if you bump into a stranger, apologize and try not to do it again”. And people not only debate it, but some go out of their way to bump into strangers and scream “Awww are you hurt?! are you crying!! did I upset you!!” as a weird hobby

Even if Bernie Sanders does become President, it’s not going to change shit if you don’t vote for your mayors, governors, sheriffs, senators, local councilman, etc. If you don’t vote in the non presidential elections for representation that falls in line with his policies, you’re just setting yourself up for a grand disappointment. More education and priority needs to be put into the multiple elections that happen midterm. Because, those are the people who directly effect you and who move up the ladder in your area until they run for president.
