In the books, it’s
mentioned that Sirius plays “a malicious prank on Snape by telling him about
the Whomping Willow passageway, hoping that he would be terrified or even get
seriously hurt by what he found at the other end. James, who hated Snape, was
able to stop Snape and save his life in the nick of time, but Snape still
uncovered Remus’s secret, seeing him at the end of the passage.” [X]……..I always wondered how Remus would have taken that.
“The stories of Vampires turning into bats are true, they just never told you how long it takes”.
Timeline documenting the ‘ageing’ process of a vampire over a millennia. I always thought the idea of a vampire staying young and beautiful forever was really boring, what’s the point of being a bloodsucking monster if you can’t at least look terrifying (although ultimately kind of goofy).
Anyway, this turned out to be really fun and I’d like to do another one with a different type of vampire or something.
YES, I love the idea of it being a slow, progressive disease
this started on one warm up and thing and ended up as this idk here you go
caliborn is so brutal that he doesn’t even give the alphas time to die a heroic death he just straight up murders them, so they keep coming back. or something
4 Years After 6 Cops Beat Homeless Man to Death, Cops Walking Free, Still No Justice
On July 5, 2011 a group of six Fullerton officers took part in the beating of Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old mentally ill homeless man, at the downtown Fullerton bus station parking lot. He died five days later, never regaining consciousness.
It’s been 4 years since Thomas was mudered, and even though there’s 100+ witnesses plus a surveillance camera captured him (WARNING: Very graphic and difficult to watch) screaming for his father & begging for air as the police kneed him, jolted him with an electric stun gun and used the blunt end to strike him around the face and head, Jurors still couldn’t find enough evidence to charge the officers.
The 33-minute video starts with Thomas being approached by Fullerton Police Department Officer Manuel Ramos, who engages him in conversation. By minute 15, Ramos has already donned latex gloves.
“You see my fists?”Ramos asks Thomas.“They’re getting ready to fuck you up.”
When Thomas stands up to walk away, a second police officer hits him repeatedly with a baton. The first few minutes of the altercation are off-screen, but the audio shows Thomas verbally giving up. He continuously shouts, asking for help and at one point crying out for his father.
“I’m sorry, dude! I’m sorry,” Thomas said. But the blows continue.“I can’t breathe dude, I can’t breathe!” protests Thomas. “Please, I can’t breathe!“ At minute 20, Thomas cries out to his father, who isn’t there: “Dad! Dad! Dad! Help me, help me Dad!”
District Attorney Tony Rackauckas leveled charges against three of the officers. Manual Ramos was charged with murder and manslaughter and Jay Cicinelli with manslaughter. But in January 2014, an Orange County jury acquitted both Ramos and Cicinelli of all charges. Charges against a third officer were dropped after the acquittals.
I am speechless. I am speechless that two hours away from where I live, over a hundred and forty children have died. I am speechless. My brothers, my sisters. They aren’t with us anymore, and I am speechless. I can’t tell you how much I’ve cried today, I can’t tell you how depressed, disgusted, sad, horrified and shocked I am at this act of terrorism in the name of ‘God’.
It’s numbing to even try and think about what the mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters feel like right now - I can’t even imagine what it’s like, to send your child to school asking him to do his very best on his mid year, telling him you believe in him, telling him not to leave a single question empty. He left the world instead.
Please don’t think we aren’t important because we aren’t from the well known Western countries. Please don’t let the lives lost be defined by race, language, nation. Please don’t think we deserve this because our oppressors and us, we share a religion - because if these terrorists are ‘muslims’, then I am not. (And believe me when I tell you they’re not. They don’t know anything about Islam, because if they did they would hesitate to use harsh words, let alone guns.)
It takes two seconds to make a prayer. It takes two seconds to spread the word. It takes two seconds to make someone see that the oppressed and oppressors are different, even if they share a religon.
I hope you will remember that little, innocent children and teachers did not ask for this. I hope you will remember that a teacher got burned alive trying to save the students. I hope you will remember that raising your voice against evil is the first step to eliminate it from our society.
