Some recommended modifiers to append to character and ship tags on AO3, depending on context:

*brief appearance–for characters and pairings that are not central to the story

*mention–for characters and pairings who are mentioned but don’t appear

*future–for characters and pairings that will be a major part of the story but haven’t yet appeared.

I personally prefer to leave characters and pairings like these off entirely, but for those who still want to mention them for whatever reason, this is a good way to do that that also helps people searching the tags (who almost certainly aren’t looking for stories where the character or pairing in question isn’t a significant part of the story)

Hermione Granger: *comes from muggle world and discovers magic*

Hermione Granger: *witnesses humans transfigure into animals*

Hermione Granger: *time-travels multiple times per day*

Professor Trelawney: “I can prophesize the future.”

Hermione Granger: “Bullshit. That can’t be possible. Fuck you.”

#you gotta draw the line somewhere #you gotta draw the fucking line in the sand dude #you gotta make a statement #you gotta look inside yourself and say #what am i willing to put up with today #not fucking this    

anyways hermione is a cutthroat bitch and her demonizing divination is due to the fact that she literally #cannot with emotional forms of magic. quidditch? which requires an emotional partnership of trust with the broom? nope. divination? which requires an emotional openness and willingness to forego logical conclusion at the whims of fate? are u fuckin kidding me. patronuses? which require not just technical skill but also a deep connection with your own emotional core? uhhhhh we’ll just let harry handle that one.

movie!hermione, w/ her advanced emotional intelligence and absolute willingness to meet each and every emotional need the boys have, should have of course been good at emotional magics like divination. shes fucking superwoman. but book!hermione? who destroyed a girls face without mercy because she ratted out the DA? who erased her parents memories so she could fight in a war? who solved dumbledores’ mysteries using ancient runes, an art that is practically the math of magic? book!hermione will destroy you and she will do it armed with the cold hard facts and the cold hard facts alone. book!hermione doesn’t give a shit. instead of getting a regular pet, book!hermione was drawn to a magical cat who is self-serving and intellectual and helped her gather clues rather than serving as an emotional companion. i mean fck.

full offense but hermione is so hardcore and logic-driven and she literally could give a SHIT about ur feelings

That’s one thing I kinda like about the canon Ron/Hermione, they both have the emotional intelligence of damp potatoes. And then Ron has to improve a bit, because Hermione sure as fuck isn’t going to, she’s got other things on her mind than managing his fucking feelings.

Jeff Bezos currently has $150 Billion dollars. Thats $150,000,000,000

The US has an estimated 1.56 million homeless people. Thats 1,560,000.

You know those little tiny homes that cost like $10,000? Jeff Bezos could buy a tiny home for every single homeless person in America for 15.6 Billion dollars. He would still have 134.4 BILLION dollars left.

He could single handedly end homelessness in America 9 times and still be a billionaire.

But the only thing he can think of to use his money for is “Trying to get into space, maybe?”

He could buy real homes for a dollar apiece through HUD and spent $10 k on average renovating them which would also help employment as well as giving people a real home.

^^^^^

Anyone gots stats on other good things Jeff’s cash could fund?

Well, on average, the tuition for 4 years of college to a public university is around $40,000.

So for 1 billion dollars you could send 25,000 students to university for 4 years.

Bezos has 150 billion. Lets let him keep 10 billion. For $140 billion, he could send 3,500,000 students to college for a bachelor’s.

Daily reminder that just because people have money it doesn’t obligate them to take over government functions

Daily reminder that this post isnt actually saying that Jeff Bezos is obligated to do any of this, but rather is meant to illustrate:

1. His extreme and obscene level of wealth in terms that are easier to understand

2. To highlight how much good that level of wealth could do if used for the collective good, say, through either charity work or taxed and appropriated for specific government programs

3. To show how Jeff Bezos is a greedy goblin man who doesnt know or doesnt care about the good he could do, but never will, because our broken economic policies have allowed him to exploit workers and the environment to such an extreme degree that he has more money than many governments do and he doesn’t do a damn bit of good with it, so fuck him. Eat the rich.

highlights:

  • “What’s with all the fucking gaijin in this area?” “Dude, don’t say that, use gaikokujin, it’s nicer.” “Oh, shit, right. What’s with all the fucking gaikokujin in this area?”
  • “The breaded pork cutlet bento box is like mega power. More than ramen. That’s accurate.”
  • all of them start dragging kiryu for his shitty cheap shirt for five minutes
  • “Shooting people sends a message.” “So does shooting anything.”
  • (after being told that massage parlors, mahjong, and hostess clubs were cut from the US version) “I feel sorry for the people who bought the American version. SEGA USA sucks.”

S: I don’t know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
K: There was one a few years ago. A good guy.
M: You sure it wasn’t just a tax shelter?
K: Sure it was a tax shelter but he ran it like a legitimate thing. You know.

HOW COULD YOU FORGET THE BACKSTORY THOUGH
