The chimera I designed for our new LEGO show. I cannot express how much of a labor of love this was. It took over 100 hours just to design, let alone build and is one of the largest and most complex sculptures I’ve done.
Fun fact: This model used every single LEGO color available in standard brick.
Did you know that you can make fake 3D pixel art in Blender by just like turning anti-aliasing off?? And pixelizing post-effects? Sounds super simple but it took me forever to figure it out.
I decided to start making pixel art ^^ This is one of my first pieces. I know it’s pretty simple, but I think it’s kinda cute ^~^

You know what’s some bullshit?
Snape knew the potions textbook sucked.
He knew exactly how it sucked, too; his own copy was full of specific revisions that totally worked for a non-prodigy kid. But he kept assigning that textbook, and never taught any of his students about the errors he’d found, or how to correct them. Hell, in the time between his own schooling and the events of the books, he could have just written a whole new textbook and improved potions for the entire wizarding community. Instead, he just kept letting them all fail forever and berating them for it.
He’s exceedingly good at potions, but he, the Potions professor, actively prevents younger generations from getting good at potions?
What a dick.

People who make call out posts about characters without closely reading the text first.
Snape knew the potions textbook sucked.
He knew exactly how it sucked, too; his own copy was full of specific revisions that totally worked for a non-prodigy kid. We don’t see him assigning that specific textbook, as by the time we see the textbook in class, Potions is taught by Slughorn and not Snape.
But we do see Slughorn teaching by the book:
“Scales out, everyone, and potion kits, and don’t forget your copies of Advanecd Potion-Making…”
Contrast this with Snape, who uses the blackboard:
“The ingredients and method” - Snape flicked his wand - “are on the blackboard” - (they appeared there) - “you will find everything you need” - he flicked his wand again - “in the store cupboard” - (the door of the said cupboard sprang open) - “you have an hour and a half….Start.”
Snape didn’t “let them all fail forever” - we know that Tonks passed Potions, as she became an auror. We know that Hermione gained an Outstanding OWL grade under Snape’s teaching, and that Harry gained a perfectly respectable grade - as did Ron - despite Harry having the most difficult working conditions in that class (teacher and student actively despised each other) of any student in canon. Snape’s expectations for his class is high - he expects them all to pass, and he’s permitted to have a higher acceptance standard for his NEWT level class. Even Umbridge remarks that his class are advanced for their age
It seems your attack should be focused on Slughorn, not Snape. He’s the character who teaches from the book. He’s the character who presides over Hermione - an outstanding student - starting to fail at NEWT level, all whilst not noticing that Harry is cheating with all manner of shortcuts.
So yes, it’s Slughorn who is exceedingly good at potions, but he, the Potions professor, actively prevents younger generations from getting good at potions?
What a dick.
my mom is 61 and her bf is a huge nerd and he’s teaching her to play magic the gathering and he had her watch avatar the last airbender with him and his ringtone is terra’s theme from final fantasy 6 and he paints pictures of sephiroth. my mom’s bf is nerdier than i’ll ever be.
and she does all these pinterest crafts and now she makes little bejeweled vials of healing potions for him and his buddies. my little geek heart can’t handle all this.
edit: just picture a 60-something woman with a VERY thick minnesotan accent saying “mike is having me watch the naruto”
just fyi my mom is now 62 and they finished watching “the naruto”
if i had told my 13-year-old self that this is what my mom’s hallway would look like when i was 30 i wouldn’t have believed me
did you know snape was already the potions teacher when tonks went to hogwarts?
did you know she absolutely had to have done this at least once?
