When I used to think about Voldemort’s horcruxes I imagined a soul divided in equal portions residing in the different horcruxes and Voldemort himself. I realised that this can’t be true in The Half-Blood Prince Slughorn describes making a horcrux as splitting ones soul in two. This means that when Riddle made his Diary into a horcrux he split his soul in half and physically removed one half from his body and placed it in the diary. This means that he only had half of his soul left when he made his next horcrux, Marvolo’s ring. This half would have been split in half leaving only a quarter in Voldemort’s body. This goes on and on the amount of soul remaining in Voldemort halving each time he makes a horcrux until he had only 1/128 or 0.78125% left in his body. As shown in the graph above. So next time you wonder why Voldemort could have done some of things he did, remember how little human he had left in him. I don’t know about you but I think that this is crazy.
Come on guys, I didn’t do maths for 14 notes
So are you telling me that Harry had more Voldemort than Voldemort had Voldemort?
this is also hecka important when you think in terms of how much power resided in each of his horcruxes. Harry only had a small fraction of Voldemort’s soul in him, and it was enough to torture him for years. Voldemort was only a fraction of what he once was, and look at all the shit he fucked up. Now imagine how powerful his first horcrux, the diary, was. Percentage-wise, it was the most powerful part of Voldemort. Ginny Weasley was possessed by something almost fifty times as powerful as what Harry had to deal with for an entire year, and she was eleven. That’s incredible and terrifying. So if you ever think to yourself, “Ginny was useless” or “Ginny wasn’t nearly as much of a badass as the rest of the gang,” go ahead and punch yourself in the face because Ginny Weasley battled Voldemort in a much more powerful form as an 11-year-old and won.
Relevance was such an all-around great episode with so many good scenes, but this one really stuck with me. I knew very little about the show or Shaw as a character when I started watching so I had no idea what to expect. Shaw, despite what she says, is a badass in this episode, and I fully expected her to be shown here as the cold-blooded killer who guns down everyone in the room, makes a quip about it, and then has a beer. Because that’s the type of narrative I’m used to seeing in media. Which…almost happened. But then she let Louis go. She stopped, thought about it, decided Louis wasn’t someone she needed to kill, and let him walk out (and then had her beer). And, for me, that helped frame Shaw as a character. Absolutely someone who could kill without remorse when needed, but not someone who would kill a relatively harmless, unarmed man with his hands in the air. Not because she’d feel bad about it, but because that wasn’t how she chose to do things.
tender hulk is not only stigmatized as a fan creation, but also flat out ignored when in canon. the hulk is a separate entity with his own thoughts, feelings, and ideas, which are separate yet intrinsically connected to bruce banner. the hulk is a protective, caring, emotionally intelligent being who is constantly overlooked and reduced to a big, dumb strongman due to his often impulsive nature and simplistic speech pattern, an act of which is routed in ableism. in this essay i will
just gonna leave these here #gentlehulkiscanon
110% true, gentle Hulk is so important to me. I’ve read a HELL of a lot of Hulk comics and especially in the early ones Hulk never ONCE attacked first. People see him (mostly military) and go omg giant scary monster! And attack him and Hulk OFTEN wonders WHY he is being attacked. He’s stated he doesn’t know why they are doing it and also stated that he WASN’T DOING ANYTHING but of course he will defend himself.
Hulk has also canonly stated “hulk is tired of the guns and the noise and the fighting”
And the few people that approach him nicely he defends the hell out of.
That’s why I love him so much. Hulk is so much more and I could rant for hours. I love this post for being this up
I HONESTLY THOUGHT HULK WAS JUST “RAAAR SMASH” THANK YOU FOR WIPING AWAY MY HORRIBLE PRECONCEPTIONS
This is certified 100% soft and I am on board.
IIRC, part of Hulk’s existence as a whole is to protect Bruce to an extent, so…there’s that
