EVERYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS BY APRIL 21ST GETS A TINY PIXEL ART POTION BASED OFF OF THEIR BLOG
All of you. Everyone.
although it strays from homestuck’s beloved pixel art style, i’m really enjoying hiveswap, and jack’s playthrough so far is great!
i really enjoyed the intro cutscene with the snake monster chasing joey through the house, plus that music was a real bop!
I’m constantly asked about this, so I’m posting my brushes here. A friendly reminder that my SAI is russian and I have to roughly translate the signs.
Also they’re half-transparent
Reblogging here, too
Okay but what if all of the potions edits in Snape’s old textbook were just things he overheard James say in potions class because “no Padfoot you crush the bean! Cutting it doesn’t do anything! Trust me my dad told me”
But I love this because then when Harry always talks about how the prince is a much better teacher than Snape he would actually be learning from his father and grandfather…
I’m not crying
My eyes are just glistening with the ghost of my past
Based on what I’ve read on Pottermore, that’s basically 100% accurate cause James’ dad created a ton of potions (like Skele-Gro and the hair potion Hermione uses for the Yule Ball) and got super rich and that’s why James never had a job and left Harry tons of money. James would have handy potions making knowledge of that sort.
That’s exactly what I meant
A lot of people took this to mean that James was the one who was really good at potions and it was his favorite subject but all I meant was that he was probably very knowledgable about potions and couldn’t help giving his friends advice that Snape probably overheard
Like my dad is a doctor and although science may not be my thing I’m still probably more knowledgable than the average person especially with all of the lowkey medical work I’ve done over the years
OMG OMG OMG!
Ok, ok ok,
You know that joke that went around about “Why didn’t Harry recognize The Prince’s handwriting when he’d been staring at it on the board for 6 years?”
What if that was because it was James’s handwriting? He wrote the notes and Snape stole the book from James as a “Haha, fuck you, lets see how well you do without your cheat sheets” Then writing ”This book belongs to the half blood Prince.” to gloat that he took something from James Potter.
James is the only one we see use Levicorpus besides Harry.
I know that means James created sectumsempra, but still, it was a time of war and death eaters, maybe he created it as a last resort thing.
New head cannon
It actually makes more sense that James would have notated Sectumsempra “for enemies” because what would Snape care? If he wrote it, he would know what it does. Maybe James even overheard it or saw it used and wanted to warn himself in case he ever remembered the word but not the context and what would happen.
THIS THIS THIS OMG THIS @icanhelpyouthere @mangoapplepie @lycanthropuns THIS (also cry with me because harry wouldn’t know what james’ handwriting looked like)
That’s ok I’ll just cry myself to sleep tonight.
And it makes sense for Snape to want to get much better at Potions. Lily was repeatedly said to be the star of the class by Slughorn, and Snape must have wanted to impress her just to have something in common to talk to her because let’s be real, they deviated from each other when he started hanging with the dark magic practitioners. And who better to cheat off from than James Potter, the guy who’s like his archnemesis?
HOLY FLYING SHIT it just makes so much SENSE though, i feel like that’s a hidden obviousness J K Rowling has been waiting years for us to get
but also also!! This explains the whole “Snape wanted to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts but ended up Potions master” when he’s super gifted at potions? Like okay, not everyone who is gifted at something necessarily wants it to be their career, but usually, passion leads to talent via hardwork. If Snape had actually written the notes in that potions book, then that suggests he had far more passion for potions than someone who *actually* wanted to teach DADA, and only really wants to teach in order to stay out of Askaban courtesy of Dumbledore pulling strings in the Ministry. Whereas, under our new theory, Snape’s ability in potions is due to slyly listening in on James (and then presumably some self-study too) with the motivation of being good at potions so that he can spend more time with Lily in Club Slughorn. Which is exactly the sort of overly obsessive creepy behaviour I would expect from teenage Snape. So in an attempt to get closer to Lily, Snape become so good at potions that he overshoots his ability in DADA and fails to become a teacher in his chosen field, after failing to become an auror or whatever, because he’s a flaming racist death eater.
anyways, doctor freeman. you've disre-
you've...disrespected my potions.
which i don't like.
however,
a scientist...well, a scientist can't live happily knowing knowing that somebody's had their hand off for a day and three hours.
so, this is what i'm going to do.
i'm gonna make use of my top secret,
government funded, extreme,
delicious potion.
i'm gonna give you some,
BECAUSE,
it has...secret regenerative properties,
UNKNOWN to man.
please don't sit on the potion.
ah! ya knocked the damn potion...over...
alright, well.
i tried to put it in beakers, but i only had...three.
and they all melted when i...put...the potion in them.
but this is okay!
so...so...i'll just hold...yeah. you have to
drink the entire thing.
now, i'm holding it at the proper potion sipping angle, so- just break out your
Black Mesa Official Silly Straw™
and get to. slurpin'. okay?
Caught in a rather good romance
It sounds like I’m playing a video game and someone is trying to sell me potions. :D
…that is exactly what it sounds like
