i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

[groovian-whovian]

Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives

Mcgonagall: gets Harry an expensive racing broom

Also Mcgonagall: that wand needs replacing, Weasley

[marauders4evr]

Whoa there!

Shitpost or not, we do not come after Professor McGonagall on this planet.

It was the best thing a teacher could do in either situation.

You’ve got an abused boy who has never had anything other than the spiders in his cupboard, he is grasping at every new, amazing, thing he finds because it’s all so wonderful? You give him a new, amazing, thing.

You have a boy who grew up in a household where family comes first, where humbleness is key, where taking handouts is seen as embarrassing? You remind that boy that he needs to find a way to replace his broken school supplies and then you sit back and do nothing because you know the family will sort itself out, it always does, and to interfere would be an insult on that perseverance and the family as a whole.

Harry was ecstatic to receive the broom. Ron would have been mortified if his teacher gave him a wand (and so would the rest of the Weasleys).

That’s how you teach.

Not just by knowing which of your kids needs something but by knowing which of your kids will accept something when you give it to them.

“everywhere” by niall horan is such a masterpiece. the fast pace, the frantic beat, the way his voice gets more & more urgent as the chorus progresses, all of that adding to the lyrics, portraying the anxiety, the agitation, the helplessness, the loss of control–

Found this today on Facebook and it just kinda hit me in the feels

Guys i just have to say; 2 things happened in that bar:

Eliott gave in to his insecurities and got wasted

Was chaotic on the dancefloor in a fight

And some of you are acting like the dude committed murder or something. It must be so tiring holding characters to such high standards. It must be exhausting cancelling 'insert character here' because they show flaws and make mistakes. You really are a toxic fandom. For the first time we got to hear Eliott spill deeply rooted ugliness that sits inside him like poison "playing a role in life" and for the first time we saw his chaotic darkness. A hint of the shit he has done when he spiralled in the past. And instead of embracing the complexity of Eliott as a character and wanting to see it explored. Some of you keep trying to shove him on to this imaginary pedastal. Screaming outrage as eliott would never do that, eliott would never say that, this is OOC, bad writing or whatever excuse you need to criticise this time.

Yes Eliott would do that, yes Eliott would say that. And it is now crystal clear that some of you have not got a clue about Eliott's character at all. We were warned many times of how Eliott is. As far back as S3. We have seen Eliott dark before. We have heard from his mouth about how dark his spirals can take him. We have seen in his relationship with lucas these very thoughts and fears, and we have heard these thoughts from his own mouth. I suggest a rewatch of the 'minute par minute' clip again, and then i'll say: Fandom we were warned, and by the very characters we love, about what to expect.

Another thing i noticed. We went into Eliott's POV with his texting to show it. So we are getting Eliott's POV. And we have the BTS of Eliott alone crying too. So more POV. And i suspect this episode is the one where perspective shifts. Each season we get one. And i think that BTS of Lucas on the bench with the principal is gonna be this episode. I think we are going to see Lucas POV. And i'm sure we're gonna see Elu POV too.

But yeah i came out of this clip loving Eliott more than ever, as he is showing us many different sides of him. Yes even the flawed ones too. And i'm delighted as i don't give 2 shits about black and white characters. I am interested in grey characters and all their messy intricacies.

Also i adore Lola. Guys you have no idea how much, and i made posts about her too but i am upset with her tonight. Because out of every godamn character on this show Eliott has been nothing but sweet, compassionate and supportive to her. He helped and saved her, he gave her a safe space and most importantly he never judged her and she threw it all back in his face tonight. And man was she a master manipulator in all her coke fueled glory. The way she fashioned them words as a weapon, and i felt everyone hit him. And he broke because he believes it. Has for years actually, and she was able to do it because like Eliott she feels exactly the same in herself. But i don't want fans cancelling Lola either. Yeah i'm upset at her because Eliott didn't deserve to be used like that but Lola is hurting bad too, and empathy is the key word here.

“One of the greatest barriers to empathy is the fear of saying the wrong thing or the need to make everything better. Let me go on record as saying (putting you at ease a little bit, hopefully) that when someone has experienced something very traumatic - a significant loss - there’s nothing you can say to make it better. All you can do is to be with people in that space. So if all you can come up with is, ‘I don’t know what to say. I just know that I want to be with you in this. I don’t know how to make it better. I just know that I’m dying inside to make it better. I want to help.’ What we all need when we’re in struggle is the ability for other people to look us in the eye, to be with us, to embrace us, and to be willing to be with us.”

“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts,rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.”

About to go on a bit of a rage-fueled rant here because I just saw someone call Eliott manipulative and a pathological liar, and say Lucas deserves a better boyfriend because he doesn’t need to deal with Eliott’s MI and issues (I’m paraphrasing) and…. I’m fucking mad.

First of all, the word “manipulative” does not apply to Eliott. Period. And he’s CERTAINLY not a pathological liar, yes we have seen him lie about a couple of things at this point but each and every time we’ve seen him lie, he’s had a motive for it - in season 4 it was out of shame/embarrassment and this season he lied about urbex because he didn’t want to worry Lucas (and he eventually told Lucas the truth). I’m not condoning lying, but occasionally lying about things like this DOES NOT make someone a pathological liar! 

I can’t even begin to explain why assigning baseless statements like these to someone with an MI is harmful, but what I will say is people like Eliott (and myself) spend a lot of time and energy worrying about the effects we have on those around us, about whether we’re just an enormous burden to anyone who has to “deal” with us or dares to love us. I know Eliott is just a fictional character, but these are thoughts I struggle with almost every day, and seeing comments from ignorant assholes in a fandom that is supposed to be a safe place for people with issues such as mine, telling me that people like Eliott and myself, who are not necessarily easy to love, are not worth the trouble and that people like Lucas deserve better than having to deal with our issues… I can’t put into words how damaging that can be. There have been times when I have felt like I just simply do not want to exist in this world anymore because I am always going to be a burden to anyone who gets close to me, and I have spent a lot of time and effort trying to overcome that, but seeing people say ignorant bullshit like this about a character I see so much of myself in… it fucking hurts.

Eliott is a flawed character it’s true, he’s not perfect, no one on this show is. But his flaws are just human. He makes mistakes, but those mistakes do not mean he’s some manipulative asshole. I’ve seen people express dislike with how he’s being written this season and I have to ask why? Because he’s putting effort into being there for someone who isn’t Lucas? Someone who he identifies with and can help because of the things he’s been through himself? Believe it or not it is okay to prioritize someone other than your partner when they’re having as tough a time as Lola is right now. 

So please, I am begging that people take more care to not make ignorant comments like the one I am referencing in this post. When you say things like this about characters that people identify with so strongly you have the potential to do a lot of damage. Think about your words, and if you start assigning terms such as “manipulative” and “pathological liar” to someone, make sure you actually know the meanings of those terms and have something to base them upon.

This scene is so important to me because

It can feel like you cannot live as long as the depression and the suicidal thoughts are still there. So you don't really. But to realize that it will always be part of you, to accept it and to arrange yourself with it is a step to leading a better life that I wish someone would have told me about years ago.

Also when you are depressive it can reach a point where you are so consumed by it that it is basically your whole personality. You are afraid to let it go. Because you are afraid to discover who you are without it. You are afraid of change. You are afraid to live and to actually feel. To hear somebody insinuate that they want these thoughts to be there is making me feel less lonely, less bad for my self-destructive tendencies because they are a part of this disease. I feel understood.

It’s not stupid. I promise. It’s not stupid to turn into your 5 year old self and get happy beyond measure for the little things. It’s not stupid to be proud of yourself for completing a load of laundry and washing the dishes. You aren’t lame for patting yourself on the back when you chose a salad over a burger. You’re taking care of yourself and each victory - no matter how small - is worth celebrating.
