It’s wild how like… JKR is so skilled at so many aspects of writing, especially in little character moments, but when it comes to implications of throwaway lines she just… not a SINGLE thought.
Like in Chamber of Secrets, when Harry is talking to Tom / Voldemort and is like, you Framed Hagrid, Tom is like, yeah he was always trying to raise monsters,
he says that Hagrid tried to raise werewolf cubs under his bed like…
You’re telling me there has been a Gay Island this ENTIRE TIME and I’m only just finding out about it????
WHAT
okay, but not enough people know the details on this. people at pride were upset about gay rights in australia. so they decided to sail 200 miles into the coral sea just ‘cause and put a rainbow flag on a fucking empty island out of spite. and i’m talking empty. no inhabitants. zero. it was a flat piece of land with a bit of dry grass. now it has a camp site and a post office.
they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” part from the american declaration of independence. and here’s the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the “administrator” of a republic. their website, however, says that “upon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treason”. so they made it a kingdom and he now claims to be a descendent of edward ii.
everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.
“Korg, the rock monster played by Taika Waititi himself, is one of the funniest characters in the movie, and introduces himself with a rock, paper, scissors joke when he first meets Thor.
But there’s more. At the end of the film, we see that Korg has accidentally crushed his blade-armed alien gladiator friend, thinking he killed him. Though the alien wakes up, the joke there probably sailed over everyone’s head. Rock beat scissors.
And if you want to go deeper than that, Korg explains to Thor how he tried to start a revolution but failed because he didn’t print enough pamphlets. Paper beat rock.
This is just too good. Too damn good, Waititi. Amazing.”
so right before the NYC mbmbam live show, lin manuel miranda appeared, with absolutely no announcement or warning, and started playing an impromptu Shrimp Heaven Now song, which transitioned perfectly into their theme song, (it’s a) departure from the album putting the days to bed. it was so perfect.
also about ten minutes into the show, griffin stopped the whole production mid-yahoo so he could try to play the rugrats theme song on lin’s keyboard. he messed up a bunch of times
