So of course, I had to create a mixtape inspired by the totally adorable but star-crossed Mad Max: Fury Road ship that is Nuxable (that's Nux and Capable to you). This collection of songs feature male/female duets of various music genres that go from epic rock ballads and musical show tunes to sexy hip-hop jams and sweet indie pop.

Petition to have a future Mad Max movie feature this badass team-up of Aunty Entity and Imperator Furiosa: a powerful alliance of Bartertown and the Citadel ruled by warrior women and taking no prisoners from the toxic patriarchy trying to bring these fierce and flawless females down.

After watching all of the Mad Max movies and capping it off with Fury Road, the bug has bitten me, too. 

MAX ROCKATANSKY IS A SLYTHERIN. PERIOD.

So I wrote this headcanon post (which is getting a lot of traction lately) about Team War Rig of Mad Max: Fury Road as crossover characters in the Harry Potter universe and I wrote that Max Rockatansky is a Slytherin, but most everyone who’s been reblogging the post is saying he’s a Hufflepuff (with the rather superficial reasoning that he’s this overgrown feral puppy dog of sorts, which — okay — is actually true). Now, this bit confuses me because Max has largely exhibited actions in Fury Road that are indicative of a Slytherin than a Hufflepuff, which I present thus:

A key factor of being sorted into Slytherin is a person's blood purity, and this is taken very literally in Fury Road because Max is a "full life" with clean blood needed to energize the "half-life" War Boys. Therefore, it would make sense that Max in the HP universe would be a pureblood wizard because of his literally "pure" blood status.

Another important Slytherin trait is their strong sense of self-preservation, and this means that Slytherins tend to hesitate before acting in order to weigh all possible outcomes before deciding exactly what should be done. In the film, Max does start out only caring for himself as shown when he attempted to steal the War Rig from Furiosa and the Wives and even going as far to try and shoot off Nux's hand to free himself from the chain connecting him to the sickly War Boy had the rifle worked. But his sense of self-preservation has not diminished even after helping out Furiosa and the Wives take back the Citadel because it is in his very nature to fly solo.

Let's not forget that Salazar Slytherin prized potential Hogwarts entrants to possess cunning, determination, leadership qualities, and a "certain disregard for the rules"—all of which Max has showcased in Fury Road. He was smart enough to not underestimate Furiosa's capability as a toughened warrior despite her physical disability (cunning); he was highly driven to survive at all costs even if it meant teaming up with a group of people that clearly do not trust him at first sight (determination); he is a natural leader because he proposed a decent battle strategy to Furiosa and allowed her to make the call rather than forcing everyone else to follow his lead (leadership qualities); and he is also a person who chooses to march to the beat of his own drum by leaving the Citadel even though he knows he is welcome to stay ("a certain disregard for the rules").

And need I remind everyone that NOT ALL SLYTHERINS ARE EVIL?! Case in point: Severus Snape, who worked his whole life to redeem himself by swearing fealty to Dumbledore and helping to protect Harry Potter due to his inability to save his mother Lily from dying at the hands of Voldemort. In the same way Snape is forever haunted by Lily's death, so too is Max with his mental visions of all those people he couldn't save from his previous adventures before the events of Fury Road took place. And through his character development by the end of the film, he was able to redeem himself by not only saving Furiosa's life with his "pure blood", but also realizing that despite his internal flaws, he is still a good person at heart.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Max shouldn't be Sorted into Hufflepuff (given that he has also exhibited dedication, kindness, and fearlessness of toil — which are all central Hufflepuff traits), but I personally think that he's more of a Slytherin based on his characterization not just in Fury Road, but also in the past three films he was featured in. He's a damaged character who has suffered through so much in a very dangerous world, and in his own words, he was reduced to a single instinct which is to survive—and this in itself is the most Slytherin as you can get rather than being a Hufflepuff.

So yeah, everyone who agrees that Max is a Hufflepuff is free to think so, but you people cannot convince me otherwise that the Road Warrior is a hardcore Slytherin through and through.

The Dag: You better tell your asshole brothers to stop with the panty raids at our sorority house or we’ll fucking let them know exactly what you two have been up to.

Slit: Oh yeah?! Who would fucking believe you bitches anyway?

Nux: Yeah, that’s right Slit.

Capable: Do you think we’re idiots?

Toast: FYI you homo morons, we got your nasty little cocksucking session on video. Show ‘em, Cheedo.

Cheedo: *looking very smug as she whips out her iPhone and plays the HD video of their homo time zoomed waaaaaay in and definitely proving they were so busted*

Angharad: So yeah, if you guys could please NOT with your sexist shit against us for good, that would be great.

Nux and Slit: .... FINE.

The Dag: And that’s not the only thing we want from you two... *gives them a very evil look*

Slit: What do you want...?

*****HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE*****

modern college au where nux and slit are these super hot frat jock boys who are part of a really popular but troublesome greek house whose members are dubbed as "war boys" because of all the mischief they cause for other competing fraternities in their campus AND rival schools. they're both super macho bros who are like no homo in public but when they're alone together, it's nc17 gayness like you won't even believe. they're very good at being on the DL coz their frat is super homophobic though.

OMF“no homo”*three hours later*“/so much homo/”
