is that no teacher ever called him James by accident, or that Ron never was called “Bill-, eh Charl-, no Per-, argh!”
As a younger sister who knows this struggle all too well: THIS IS REAL. Pretty sure 70% of my past teachers still think I’m called what my sister is called in fact.
Imagine Fred being called Percy by McGonagall accidentally and then he gets so offended that he refers to her by “Professor [insert any other name but McGonagall” for the rest of the year, costing Gryffindor a considerable amount of points one at a time.
From then on, she vows to just call them all Mr Weasley.
Until Ginny comes along and she calls her Mr Weasley by accident and Ginny “accidentally’ calls her Sir and it starts again.
One of my teachers went to the same school with my big brother.
Strangely enough, I don’t think she ever called me by his name.
Now, my mother…
My mom had two daughters before having two sons and she usually calls out “hija” (daughter) when referring to us
I have 5 siblings and I guarantee you 90% of the time when my parents are calling for someone they’ll cycle through ALL of the names
I’m an only child but my mom calls me the dogs names and the dogs “Julian” pretty frequently
peter and wade are fighting side by side and when peter runs out of web fluid, he grabs a gun off wade’s belt and wade has this transcendent moment of i’m going to watch spiderman shoot my gun at a real live bad guy
but peter just fucking throws it at a bad guy’s face and knocks him out cold
The impact causes the gun to go off and shoot wade in the dick. Spider man spends the next several minutes frantically apologizing while cable laughs his ass off for the first time in years.
Pretty sure I’ve read this comic
@wishem please omg just a quick doodle or something even
I am sorry Cable looks like that
I laughed my ass of at “bad guy uwu” I love this entire comic so much
today in ‘i wasn’t actually expecting this, but i really should have expected this’: i do a lot of visa application invites for people for work, and the passport first page for just about every country i’ve seen has clear, black text printed on light/white background with maybe some simple pastel-coloured designs. and for the first almost-three-decades of my life, i was happy in the naive belief that all passports around the world were similar; that one day all countries of the world gathered in Geneva or wherever and formed a Passport Design Committee where they all agreed on the general aesthetics for passports worldwide.
then, about two weeks back, i saw an american passport for the first time, and it straight up has a giant-ass flag, an eagle, a fucking ear of corn, and the first line of the constitution on it, the text is on glaring multicoloured backdrop, and while i was caught off-guard by it, it is also completely in line with its country of origin, and also i feel like this tells me everything i need to know about america as a nation.
…American here and I really shouldn’t be surprised to find out that nobody else in the world does this and yet every single fucking time
Jfc that’s what our passports look like?!
(Also that’s wheat not corn)
Man this doesn’t even get into the fact that the eagle’s eye fluoresces under black light.
So does the Statue of Liberty on one of the back pages iirc.
The US passport, for anyone who hasn’t seen one, is pretty wild. EVERY PAGE is like that, with different ‘Americana’ images throughout. It also goes west to east, so it starts with totem poles of the pacific north west, and progresses through the desert of the southwest, the buffalo on the plains, Mount Rushmore (I had a visa affixed to the Mount Rushmore page so George Washington is just peering over the edge of the visa sticker all shifty like, looking like a Kilroy), agricultural fields, steamboat on the Mississippi (iirc again, I’m doing this from memory, I’m too lazy to go get mine), and eventually the Statue of Liberty. The final page is the FUCKING MOON. WITH THE AMERICAN FLAG ON IT. It’s an artist’s conception of the 1969 moon landing, obvs, but it really feels like they’re saying the moon is the 51st state or something.
When I was living abroad, people were always shocked at how colorful the US Passport is. I once had to show it at a large bank after my debit card had been compromised, and all the bankers wanted to look at it. Every page has some ~inspirational~ quote on it. I told them some of the pages glow under black light and they got out their pen lights for checking money and just played with my passport for a while, looking at all the glowy stuff and all the pictures.
I have yet to encounter another passport half as EXTRA™️ as that if the US of A.
I reblogged to much to let it go away in like a day??
