i think the thing that sticks out to me about cats in hogwarts is that we have no idea where they go when their owners are studying. there’s an owlry, but no cattery.
do they just wander the corridors? do they disrupt lessons? are there always at least six sitting in front of the fireplace in the great hall?
Yes, and Dumbledore treats every single one of them as if they were McGonagall because he can’t tell
I love the idea of Dumbledore addressing every cat as McGonagall and they bitch about it to her like “I am literally pitch black and he still thought I was you, Minerva”
every king in the Middle Ages: it’s really important that I don’t die because I don’t have an heir and if something were to happen to me, the whole kingdom would be thrown into civil war
every king in the Middle Ages: anyway time to go CHASE WILD BOARS WITH A POINTY STICK
the eternal masculine dichotomy of “I must preserve my bloodline, for it is the most powerful and special on Earth” and “I am too powerful to ever die”
in the Wizard of Oz movie, the Tin Man is just a wood-chopping robot for no reason… in the books, he used to be a human dude but a witch cursed him so that he accidentally chopped off his arms and legs and head and torso and had each piece replaced by tin with no side effects other than not having a heart
the whole time he’s just trying to build a nice house for his fiancé but amputating all his limbs one by one and then decapitating himself doesn’t sway him from his goal
and he doesn’t even know he’s cursed during this time so the poor fucker just thinks his aim’s off
