Filch has a doctorate in art conservation and has definitely read Hogwarts A History
Actaully speaking of PoA, can we fuckin talk about Filch and his art credentials?
The portrait of the fat lady gets slashed and Dumbledore hands her off to Filch to get restored?
AND FILCH DOES IT, AND DOES IT WELL?
The next time we see her there is NO mention of anything like, oh she’s back but you can kinda see where she was cut… NO. She comes back in PEAK CONDITION.
Restored by Filch, who *has no magic.*
He restored this however many hundreds of year old painting *by hand.*
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH SKILL MUST HAVE BEEN INVOLVED HERE?
This 100% changes the character of Filch. Like I’ve only ever seen him portrayed as this kind of head janitor kind of character, movies style, but like. Why? Why would Hogwarts need that if it’s full of house elves? According to Harry Oblivious Potter, probably cause Dumbledore felt bad and gave him a shitty job but one he could at least do and still be in the wizarding world.
WRONG. It’s cause that’s not his actual job.
Listen.
Dung bomb goes off in a classroom? Long night for the house elves.
Dung bomb goes off in a 300 year old suit of armor? Long six to eight weeks for Argus Filch.
Fanged frisbee tears up an irreplaceable tapestry?
Filch.
Peeves draws dicks on a portrait of the founders?
Filch.
All these damn kids in and out of here every day acting like dumbasses and blowing stuff up when it’s already bad enough they keep tracking dirt and *breathing* all over everything?
Filch.
Now how about, how does Filch know all the secret passages? A combination of things. Probably paintings told him about some. You spend weeks restoring a portrait of someone who helped build the place which lives and moves and speaks in their voice and you’re bound to at least talk a bit, if not learn a few things. But many he probably found on his own, either by wit or by study- he’s gotta be entrenched in tr history of this place. If Binns hadn’t come back as a ghost Filch could probably teach history of magic in his place.
He keeps the place in order such that generations next will still have it, and said generations next show him no god damn respect for that. He’s bitter for a lot of excellent reasons.
Derek was waiting on Stiles when
he got back home. Scott had apparently called the alpha when Stiles showed up
at his house with a busted face. Stiles had been cornered by Gerard and Stiles
doesn’t know how not to mouth off, so he deserved a few of the hits he took.
He’d lied and told his dad that he
had mouthed off to a few kids from the opposing team of the lacrosse game they’d
played that night. He didn’t want his dad mixed up in everything yet.
Stiles walked in to see Derek standing
in his room with his arms crossed, his expression murderous.
“Derek,” Stiles sighed.
Derek’s face instantly softened as
he reached for the human. He cupped Stiles’ jaw, inspecting the large bruise
that sat raw and painful on his cheek.
Stiles felt the pain ease up under
Derek’s touch, “Thanks,” Stiles gave a Derek a small smile.
“He did this to you?” Derek asked
though he already knew.
“I was mouthing off, it probably
wouldn’t have been so bad,” Stiles shrugged.
Derek growled, “He’ll pay for this.”
Stiles waved a dismissive hand, “You
have more pressing matters to deal with.”
“Stiles, I can’t lose you,” Derek’s
tone was harsh like he was angry, but his eyes were scared and worried.
Stiles paused. He and Derek had a
complicated relationship, they had grown closer over the weeks, but it was
still uncertain were exactly they stood. Neither one was brave enough to talk
about it.
“I don’t trust many people, but I
trust you, and I need you,” Derek’s tone was vulnerable now, like he was
worried Stiles would reject the information.
Stiles nodded, “I’ll be more
careful.” Stiles wanted to wrap the alpha in a tight hug, but he knew Derek’s
limitations. Hell, that was why Derek trusted him so much.
Are we really not going to talk about the guy in the back who is attached to another guy’s back while spinning?
WHAT ABOUT THE GUY THAT FALLS OUT OF THE WINDOW
WHY IS IT BACK
no you guys don’t understand, not only is this the first harlem shake out there… these guys aren’t normal military. This is “Telemarkbataljonen”. They’re pretty much the Norwegian equivalent of the fucking black ops. My brother knows a guy in this battalion, and when asked what they do there, he looked my brother dead in the eye and said “That is strictly confidential”. These guys are hard as shit, which makes this even more hilarious
Don’t bring this meme back
BRING THIS MEME BACK.
I WILL ALAWYAS REBLOG THE NORWEGIAN SPECIAL OPS HARLEM SHAKE!
