Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.
My own commencement speaker, who shall remain nameless, began with a lame joke about how these speeches only come in two varieties: Short and bad. This…
Coincidence? I think not! Or maybe actually it is a coincidence… Yeah, probably.

DO YOU SEE THAT
THAT RIGHT THERE
THAT IS A MOTHERFUCKING GRYFFINDOR SCARF HANGING ON THE WALL IN THE BOATHOUSE BEHIND SEVERUS SNAPE IN HIS FINAL MOMENTS
NOT A SLYTHERIN, HUFFLEPUFF OR RAVENCLAW SCARF
A GRYFFINDOR SCARF
Even if you were a complete idiot and hadn’t read the book already, you would look at that scarf and think, “Hmmm what’s that doing in the presence of the 2 most notable Slytherins in the series, what the connection?”
Because Snape was showing Gryffindor-esque bravery right there, because the reason he was lying to Voldemort wasn’t to stay alive for his own sake — he knew he had to save his skin just long enough to tell Harry what he needed to do for the good of everyone.
Nothing in the movie business is just “Oh lets put this here, maybe.”
This was on purpose.
Throughout the scene, it was right by Snape’s side and I couldn’t take my eyes off it…
Because I knew that the spirit of Gryffindor was in that room — in Snape.
DUMBLEDORE WAS RIGHT.
THEY DO SORT TOO EARLY.
I’M SO GLAD I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THIS
I caught that!!!!
I fucking noticed that too last time I saw it and started sobbing
thank you for making me cry
I would just like to comment on this that “the sorting hat takes your opinion into consideration” and young Sev was always told Slytherin was where he belonged. Just sayin’. Maybe the sorting hat wanted him in Gryffindor. But yes, we do sort too young.
Fuck you, Snape was a great Slytherin.
SNAPE WAS A SLYTHERIN!
A TRUE SLYTHERIN!
He belonged in that amazing house and there was nothing wrong about him being there. He was a brave man yes but Slytherins are brave, you fucking twat, and they aren’t just brave they’re cunning too.
He was showing great bravery in this scene but not only that he was showing how cunning he is. He is DECEIVING Voldemort! Deceiving him.
He was using the cunning skill that got him into the grand house of Slytherin in this scene!
I say fuck you again sir.
The Gryfindor scarf was just a visual metaphor for his bravery, it wasn’t saying that he wasn’t a Slytherin.
The man literally spent his entire adult life as a double agent. Do you even begin to phantom how much cunning that would actually take?
You have to be the most cunning of people to pull that off with out getting caught, and he WAS.
Snape was the most cunning man alive during his time.
And cunning is the main attribute of Slytherin house.
Snape is a Slytherin
Snape was always a Slytherin
No matter how brave he was during his life time it doesn’t negate how brilliantly cunning he also was.
This scene does not in anyway show how he should have been in Gryfindor but in fact proves just how much he was indeed a true Slytherin!
Reblogging for the last post. HOUSE PRIDE.
If you are part of a rush of people that come into my store at 10 15 30 minutes to close or later, I probably hate you.
Confession: Sometimes I feel guilty that I don’t have to work as hard as others to do well in school.
What if Finding Dory isn’t about Dory getting lost like everyone apparently thinks it is? What if it’s about trying to figure out who she is and restore her memory? What if it’s about f i n d i n g DORY?
That’d be really sweet
The official published description of the movie makes this pretty clear…
“One thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was why [Dory] was all alone in the ocean on the day she met Marlin. In ‘Finding Dory,’ she will be reunited with her loved ones, learning a few things about the meaning of family along the way.
According to Stanton, ‘Finding Dory’ takes place about a year after the first film, and features returning favorites Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others. Set in part along the California coastline, the story also welcomes a host of new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory’s life.”
Rocket science.
“This classmate turned best friend became the love of my life, and my very own fairytale ending. Our first date lasted over eight hours, as neither of us wanted to say goodnight. Later, she and I had the amazing opportunity to portray fairytale characters at a local theme park, a young boy who never wanted to grow up and the beautiful girl that flew away with him. After seven years of not wanting to say goodnight, I proposed to her and she said yes, and why not? Peter and Wendy turned out just fine.”

THIS IS THE CUTEST DAMN THING I’VE EVER READ.
Trying not to dwell on the fact that I’ll spend more time waiting to be at Disney than actually BEING at Disney.
