Ravenclaws probably have, overall as a house, the worst grades in the school tbh. 

i feel as though ravenclaws would have driven Hermione Granger up a wall they neVER DO THEIR HOMEWORK??? I though this was the smart house???? and Ravenclaws are like yeah kay but GET THIS DID YOU KNOW AN ANIMAGUS - but potions homework - who even CARES about potions right now I’m researching this COOLER THING uncouple the idea of ‘smart’ with the idea of ‘good at school’

I bet for the professors teaching Ravenclaws is like herding cats away from empty boxes.

Older Ravenclaws have finely honed the art of asking just the right argumentative questions to direct their teacher onto an entire-class-session-long tangent about something entirely irrelevant to the course material. 

Can you imagine Ravenclaws trying to overhaul the entire school system with Muggle ideas. Trying to figure out how to best teach people, more concerned with how people learn than what they’re learning.

“Why do we force people to learn things they aren’t interested in, we should create our own curriculum.”

“We should figure out everyone’s learning styles.”

“We need smaller class sizes.”

“No, no, wait, guys, what if we eliminated grades entirely.

Yeah, Ravenclaws would drive Hermione up the wall.

“Fire the whole staff and start over.”

“Present more opportunities for seventh-year independent research!”

“Why hasn’t anyone made magically modified calculators yet?”

“Why are we still using quills and parchment when pencils exist? Please explain.”

“I don’t want to enter the work force directly after school, what are my options for higher education? Is there magical university?”

“I don’t feel confident in my professor’s qualifications because she’s teaching me astrology but doesn’t know any facts about space beyond about the year 1764.”

Muggleborn Ravenclaws forming rogue study groups to teach other students chemistry and algebra and English literature, just imagine. 

“They call this the astronomy tower but we’re learning about the effects of Venus when it’s in the fourth house and the professor doesn’t believe Neptune is a planet I am really concerned.”

“Okay but what’s the oxidation state of Mandrake root in pepperup potion?”

“But can you apply differential calculus to arithmancy or not?“ 

“The portrayal of the witches in Macbeth has some pretty troubling implications, also, I don’t think their potion would have actually done anything.”

I can’t not reblog this holy frick

i am now a ravenclaw

Why are girls embarrassed when in a bra and underwear yet eager to be in an even more revealing bikini?

consent? consent to seeing in swimwear not to when you walk in on them getting dressed maybe?

Kylie Jenner out here wearing Black skin like it’s the newest Instagram filter. Meanwhile Black women with that same glow and look NATURALLY are considered “too ethnic” to model or work at certain places. I’m sleep though.

Her blackface is disgusting and we have to have two thoughts: is she unaware (Probanly not) or a racist shit?

WOWWWWWWWWW SHE WAS USING A BLACKLIGHT AND A NEON LIGHT CHILL PEOPLE STOP LOOKING FOR RACISM IN EVERYTHING LAWDDDD

Black lights and neon lights on White skin

Bloop

A black light? Really? Do Yall even try to think of insults anymore or you just spout random shit?

I really don’t think she was trying to do blackface, it looks too metallic and alien-like. I see where people are coming from but even if it was an attempt of blackface, she isn’t making fun or mocking those with darker skin. She literally says she wishes her skin looked like this all the time. People need to lay off and not be so quick to take offense from somewhere so unnecessary.

do they also realize that cosmetics impact the look you get under blacklight? and neon and blacklight mixed changes it as well. so that example of a white person wearing NO make-up with only one type of light is obviously not going to come out the same as a professionally done mixed light cosmetic pic which has been through photoshop a few dozen times as well. kind of can’t make that comparison.
 theres a tv ad on where I live at the moment where they put people on a beach under UV filters and what it shows would amaze you. then they put sunblock on and do the same and it’s LITERAL black. not “African person” black. ACTUAL black. it’s not being racist it’s just what the filter does. with that knowledge in mind I’m sure you can understand how this could have happened in a professional photo-shoot.

and in anycase, she’s not belittling anyone. she likes it. 
the same way THIS woman is not belittling anyone with her clearly not naturally born straight blonde, she just likes it because it looks nice. 

But I’m guessing the kinds of people who are upset about the Kylie picture are the same ones who’ll defend bleaching if anyone complained. i’m not, btw.
