I dunno, I kind of feel like one reason people harass others online is there’s the screen in front of you and a sort of feeling of anonymity to go with it. You’re protected by not having to say these horrible things to the person’s face and not having to really take responsibility for your actions. You can say/post…

I mean, you still have to have talent, but yes, it’s much easier for men to find consistent work out here as opposed to women because there are a ton more opportunities for men. If they can’t find someone with talent, they’ll work around INSANE schedules or even split runs of two actors sharing the same role.

This. For the last...thousand years or so, white men have written the plays. And yes, while women and/or minorities have been in a handful (or gasp) even been the lead in some, most of them revolve around white men because they’ve had a pretty good head start on us when it comes to writing them. I work in theatre in…

Oh, I always thought Neville belonged there on his own merit. He and Harry are almost the same person, the only difference being that Neville grew up in the wizarding world. I maintain most of Neville’s issue is his grandmother’s hovering (which makes sense give the circumstances) and once he really comes into his…

God, SO MANY THINGS that I wish would have been in the movie:

My first tattoo was a HP one! I have “mischief managed” on the inside of my foot in the chapter title font with the three stars on either side. I once met a guy at a bar that had “I solemnly swear I’m up to no good” on his arm in the same font with the stars, and drunk me tried to convince him it was obviously fate.…

Doby was the one that murdered my black lil heart.

Here, here! I’m a slytherin and I hate how everyone just lumps every bad guy ever in our house and that’s the only thing we are. Nah, I’m really smart but I’m super career oriented and that’s not a bad thing. I’m actually a really nice/chill person, but I know what I want and I go for it. There’s nothing wrong with…

YES! I just posted a very similar comment. I will forever be thankful that they came out at the time they did, and I was allowed to grow up right next to these characters.

I went to a private Catholic school (which sucked for an atheist) and had to start a hardcore campaign to get them carried in our library. With the help of the English department, I convinced them to carry one copy of each (as they were released). It’s probably one of the things I’m proudest of.

Slytherin with a swan patronus.

Puts on hipster glasses. I was the first person I knew to read the series, mainly because half my family is British and my cousin sent me a copy before it was released here. When I got it, I was the exact age as Harry and his friends and because of that I have always felt like I literally grew up with these…

I’m a swan. I’m totally down for it because they’re pretty in their element but totally awkward on land and can be real bitches. It’s so perfect. Haha

I always felt left out as a teen because I didn’t really like any of this music and since I was in the artsy scene, all my friends made a point to make a big deal of it. “YOU DON’T LIKE THE STROKES??? HOW DO YOU NOT LISTEN TO THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS? You just don’t get it.” which in turn made me like all of them even…

Oh god, The Ranch. I went back home (deep south) recently and my parents were like “You have to watch this show! IT’S HILARIOUS” I did not make it through the first episode. But I guess that’s what happens when you live on the “left coast” and are a “hippie.” You just don’t get “good ol fashion tv.”

The same way people don’t know what the fuck Julius Caesar is about. They don’t read or if they do, it’s begrudgingly in high school without any care or understanding of the material.

I have a friend who LIVES for Hanson. I mean, girl has spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars flying around the country to go to meet & greets, special events, and all kinds of shit. It boggles my mind how someone can love a band that was a 1 hit wonder that much.

I’ve tried, I really have, but I just can’t work out in the mornings. Starting in January I woke up at 5:30 to take various 6 am work out classes. I did it every other morning until April, sticking with it due to that whole “it takes x amount of days to make a new habit” mantra. And still after 4 months of doing it, I…

As someone who works in theatre (and quite a lot with Shakespeare companies) this whole debacle has me more frustrated than most other stunts his supporters have pulled. They literally know nothing about the play if they think that this is a new concept, bloodier than previous productions (I did one where we literally…

From everything I’ve read about it, is he was also overly intoxicated. There’s a whole conversation going on right now about who’s at fault if both parties are that drunk. I think going after the production company is not only safest but I’m sure he’ll probably do the same when it’s all said and done.
