smother

Hey, everyone! I'm Alexx (some of you may know me as Xandra or Alexandra). I'm twenty-two, and I'm an English major and art minor in college. I grew up in the deep South which made for a far from extraordinary childhood. Hopefully, when I graduate, I'm...

I love how the hp fandom has collectively ignored cannon Pansy Parkinson and somehow created an actual character for her that is surprisingly consistent for not being based on anything

“I am not an angel,’ I asserted; ’and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.”

-Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

1k celebration: @gcndalf asked professor mcgonagall or professor sprout?

‘i should have made my meaning plainer,’ said professor mcgonagall, turning at last to look at umbridge directly in the eyes. ‘he has achieved high marks in all defence against the dark arts tests set by a competent teacher.’

The Seven Heroes of Olympus

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call, To storm or fire, the world must fall, An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death

21st century horror + “unhinged” female leads

“Perhaps what we’re witnessing in horror right now is not a commentary on a single anxiety, but a culmination of all the anxieties that exist in culture—the shit that’s built up, affecting generation after generation, especially women … who’ve internalized the brunt of trauma for so long and are only now able to channel it. The rage that stems from internalising trauma (while coddling men) … is perfectly visualised by Toni Collette literally crawling up the walls in Hereditary.” — Ryan Bradford

“This is what horror tells us—that in the collective unconscious of all women are psychic wounds so deep and raw that even to brush against them is to become a conduit for their primal violence… We self-censor our every reaction, debating endlessly with ourselves over which thoughts are permitted and which are forbidden or unclean… Perhaps that’s why, after so long spent boiling within us under such terrible and unrelenting pressure, women’s desires hold such power to fascinate and terrify.” — Gretchen Felker-Martin

Ben Barnes looked good today… I didn’t see him but I know he looked good.

Pansy washed her hands in cold water. She felt guilty, on bad days, for hot sips of tea. She was supposed to be cold. That was the point of her, a sharp edge, a chill down your spine. She was unkind. She couldn’t run away from that, the cruel barbs she’d spat out all her life. She was turning them other places now, useful ones, instead of easy targets, but this was still her life. Her core held no light.
