I sincerely believe that by 7th year Ravenclaws would just tell the door to their common room to fuck off and it would open for them
Q “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” A “You shouldn’t shove either up your arse.” “…Technically, yes.”
Imagine it, a poor First Year is waiting outside the common room, they can’t answer the riddle in a way to appease the eagle and must wait until someone else to answer it for them. It’s getting late, they’re starting to resign themselves to having to spend the night here.
Suddenly, their saviour comes! It’s a seventh year! Back from a night finishing off their Araithmancy essay in the Library. They look angry, but our poor little first year squares their shoulders, waiting to see what will happen, and hope that they’ll keep the door open for them.
The Seventh Year bangs the handle against the wall, and a slightly disgruntled voice asks the question again: “What is the truth?”
The Student Replies, “The Truth is that I am so fucking sick of all these mother fucking questions about stupid fucking topics like this you bloody fuck-witted bastard. Who in the name of Merlin’s saggy left testicle gives a fucking damn about all this shit anyway? I’ve been working my arse off in the library for the last seven hours now let me the fuck in or, truthfully, I’ll blast my way in and take you with me.”
The eagle knocker tutts, but allows the student entry anyway, and our little first year enters, eyes wide and in shock. They watch the seventh year go up to their bedroom, awe all over their face at their new hero. They did, indeed, learn something that day by waiting for someone to arrive, they learnt that swearing has a magic all of it’s fucking own, and that sometimes it is big and clever to use it.
The only head canon I will ever accept. Its both perfectly witty and fantastically assholish
witty and fantastically assholish… pretty much quintessential ravenclaw traits right there
My favorite version of this headcanon is that there is one Ravenclaw who went all seven years by answering the riddles with some variation of “not a potato” and was only ever wrong once.
1. I grabbed a 4ft alligator out of a pond in Florida when I was like 5, and held onto him for a while.
2. My sister ran me over with a golf cart like 5 Times at least
3. Another incident involving the golf cart was me riding in a hitched on metal cart used for utilities, which completely rolled over on our hardened dirt trail on the outskirts of the woods and warped the metal connection. How I didn’t break my teeth or any bone is beyond me.
4. I straight up almost drowned like 9 Times
5. The Full Body Fiberglass incident.
6. I got swine flu I was the only fucker in my community to get god damn swine flu and it was as miserable as the news stories made it out to be.
7. Electrocuted in the face with enough volts to stop a draft horse.
8. I got???? Stabbed????? Once???? In the CHEST????
9. My dad handed me a pistol in a grape field when I was 4 and just told me “shoot it.” And I did. (Note- I’m a good shot)
10. I GOT STABBED IN THE CHEST ONCE???????
11. Whiplash on the trampoline so severe I was unconscious for 1 minute and my sister thought she killed me (this was probably where I actually died)
Anyway I think I’m actually a ghost and just am really good at using technology.
I need elaboration on pretty much all of these stories, especially 2, 5, 7, and 8.
Let me just talk about this scene in TFP in the episode “Triage”
After Megatron asks Knockout to repair Soundwave’s visor, there is a long pause while ominous music plays in the background. We see Knockout looking unsure and gritting his teeth while looking at Soundwave.
What is there to be uncomfortable about is the question. Knockout is a doctor so he should be okay with examining others and seeing their ‘personal parts’. But having to repair Soundwave’s visor makes him hesitant.
Was this supposed to set up or hint for a Soundwave face reveal? Is his face too damaged/terrible to look at so that’s why he always wears a visor?
In these shots we can see Soundwave’s eyes under his visor, which means he does indeed have a face.
So most likely TFP planned for Soundwave to have a face reveal at one point but never got to it
Personally, I read that as “augh, he’s not going to like that, I don’t want to deal with angry Soundwave right now” rather than “eww”.
And yeah, Soundwave has a face, it’s shown in some of the comics.
Commission for @cappucinotarts I had so much fun making I decided to do it as a short comic 😀 thank you so much for giving me those three to play with!
