The Houses as Things I’ve Overheard
Gryffindor: Yeah my therapist said it better, but she basically told me to be a ho
Hufflepuff: My sole health problem is being 5’2
Ravenclaw: When I say I love the book, I mean that I love the concept of murdering men
Slytherin: 1.8 billion years ago, scientists believe I was loved once
The Houses as Things I’ve Overheard
Gryffindor: What is feminism? Half of all incels should be women
Hufflepuff: It’s about nature versus nurture and I can’t nurture the bitch out of her
Ravenclaw: Idk about how big his brain penis is
Slytherin: You know my smile’s real because whenever I look at you, I laugh
Harry: Your eyelashes look so thick and pretty today Draco: Thanks, it's because they're moist from my tears
What's the weirdest thing you have ever done?
it’s definitely not the weirdest, but last night i had to register my car with the local police (long story) and they asked me for my license plate, and i have a “u”, so i said “u as in uranus” bc i couldn’t think of anything else. but i said it like “ur-anus” and then worried that was the “joke” pronunciation and not the actual one and started nervous laughing.
anyway so the policeman asked me to wait a second, put me on hold, and then came back and asked me to repeat myself. so i’m like, i absolutely cannot say uranus again so i said “uvula”. no, i could not think of any other word. i was actively trying to think of a different one while going through the other letters before it.
then the police officer repeated it and said “u as in union” and i replied “oh that’s a much better word” without thinking.
so anyway, i can never call my local police again even if i’m actively getting robbed.
I just wanted to let you know that your Greek Mythological poetry is absolutely gorgeous, esp the Icarus poems. Thank you for sharing them with us!!
Aww, thank you!! I totally forgot my inbox existed, but this means so much to me bc I’m literally taking a master’s and my thesis work is mythological retellings
childhood friendships be like, we played pretend everyday in kindergarten, we were mermaid dogs and potion makers and astronaut fairies, you gave me a strange look when i made up an underwater unicorn scenario in middle school, you bit my arm once in elementary school because you didn’t want to share the pirate ship wheel on the playground anymore, i still tell that story because i have a scar from your tooth, we did ballet and tap together but then went to different dance schools and it wasn’t the same, i quit after it messed up my ankles but i still kept your nutcracker christmas cards throughout high school and imagined us dancing together, we watched cinderella iii on dvd together and talked about how much better the prince was in the sequels, that was the last time i went over your house and i wish i had known that then, later i heard you talking about how weird i was to people i thought you didn’t like, you repeated things i said as examples but they had made you fall off the bed with laughter back then, i don’t understand when you outgrew me but i thought we had been girls together.
Houses as Things I Overheard
Gryffindor: I am not yelling! I am raising my voice to convey my passion for the subject!
Hufflepuff: How can I care about school when I’m about to become a plant mom?
Ravenclaw: Bread crusts are a social construct and no, I will not clarify
Slytherin: This is premeditated maybe-murder
I was today years old when I learned that when you type "otp: true" in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship
Gamechanger
Here’s a cheatsheet of all the available hidden search functions. “-creators:[whatever]” is another exclusion that can be particularly useful.
Draco on Christmas, Probably
Draco: Potter help, I'm trapped under the tree and the star's tangled in my hair.
Harry: Why were you under the tree?
Draco: ... Because I'm a gift to this world?

American Girl stories were the best tbh
Dude, read the books, she and her mom freed themselves in Book 1. We don’t disrespect American Girl in this house
Don’t you dare disrespect Addy, or any of my girls for that matter. American Girl used to be legit. Good stories, good dolls, good movies.
Felicity’s story was set in the beginnings of the American Revolution, and addressed the conflict that she faced when her loved ones were split between patriots and loyalists. It also covered the effects of animal abuse, and forgiving those who are unforgivable.
Samantha’s stories centered around the growth of industrial America, women’s suffrage, child abuse, and corruption in places of power. Also, it emphasises how dramatically adoption into a caring family can turn a life around.
Kit’s story is one of my favorites. Her family is hit hard by the Great Depression, and they begin taking in boarders and raise chickens to help make ends meet. Her books include themes of poverty, police brutality, homelessness, prejudice, and the importance of unity in difficult times.
Molly’s father, a doctor, is drafted during the Second World War. Throughout her story, friends of hers suffer the loss of their husbands, sons, and brothers overseas. Her mother leaves the traditional housewife position and works full-time to help with the war effort. They also take in an English refugee child, who learns to open up after a life of traumatic experience.
American Girl stories have always featured the very harsh realities of America through the years. But they’re always presented honestly, yet in ways that kids can understand. They just go to show that you don’t have to live in a perfect time to be a real American girl.
Dont you fucking dare disrespect the American Girls in my house. ESPECIALLY Addy!! That was my first REAL contact with the horrors of slavery, as I read about her father being whipped and sold and her mother escaping with her to freedom, but also how freedom was still a struggle.
A slave doll. Please. Read the books.
Don’t forget Kirsten, the Swedish immigrant who had to deal with balancing her own culture and learning the english language and customs of her classmates, or Kaya (full name Kaya'aton'my, or She Who Arranges Rocks) , the brave but careless girl from the Nez Perce tribe, or Josefina, the Mexican girl learning to be a healer.
And then there are the later dolls, that kids younger than me would have grown up with (I was just outgrowing American Girl as these came out), like Rebecca, the Jewish girl who dreams of becoming an actress in the budding film industry, or Julie, who fights against her school’s gender policy surrounding sports in the 70s, or Nanea, the Hawaiian girl whose father worked at Pearl Harbor.
These books, these characters, are fantastic pictures into life for girls in America throughout the years, they pull no punches with the horrors that these girls had to face in their different time periods, and in many cases I learned more history from these series than social studies at school. And that’s without even mentioning the “girl of the year” series where characters are created in the modern world to help girls deal with issues like friend problems, moving, or bullying. We do NOT disrespect American Girl in this house.
American Girl is probably going to be the only exposure young girls are going to get to history from a female perspective. This is actually kind of important considering that in history classes we dont really get that exposure. We dont hear about what women felt and endured during these time periods cause schools are too busy teaching us about what happened from the male perspective, which is not unimportant, but we need both. Girls need both.
These books were such a crucial part of my childhood and shaped my love of history, which still ensures today. These books can be a young girl’s first lessons in diversity and cultural awareness (hopefully burying that insensitive “we’re all Americans” tripe) and looking at history from more perspectives than just that taught in school. They also are an example of how women have ALWAYS been part of history, which some people would rather us not believe.
I think Kit and Kaya were the newest American Girls when I started “aging out” of the books, but hearing about some of these kinda makes me want to revisit them!
I wasn’t gonna say anything, but you know what?
Nah.
OP (of the tweet thread) was either a actively trying to start shit or is just a huge fucking moron. Probably both.
I’d like to point out that the company that makes American Girl dolls actually doesn’t skimp when doing their research and they don’t make the dolls with the intent to be offensive in any way:
Not to mention their girl of the year dolls are all modern girls set to relate and encourage modern girls. I learned more from American Girl than I did from my teachers in elementary school.
also just looked this up and 2020’s doll of the year is Joss Kendrick, who has hearing loss and is still a competitive cheerleader and a surfer. 2017 was a girl who loved poetry and dancing and had a stutter. 2019 was a girl who cooked at her family’s sustainable farm and bed-and-breakfast. 2018’s girl dreamed of being the first person on Mars. not girl, not Chilean (her ethnicity), but person. period.
also, 2017 and 2018 were poc, and it wasn’t exploited in marketing. it was natural like they weren’t making just a poc, they were just girls who were passionate about things and also happened to be poc.
Houses as Things I Overheard
Gryffindor: It’s okay, she’ll forgive me because she’ll see me eating vegetables
Hufflepuff: Not one crunch did I crunch, instead I just munched
Ravenclaw: Yeah she just goes to church because she likes the organ music
Slytherin: I hate flowers but I love empowerment
me, in 2019, gazing outside my window: when will my mental health return from the war
me, in 2020, gazing outside my window: when will my gayness return from the quarantine closet
hermione, while maintaining eye contact with harry: put a finger down if you’ve ever became so obsessed with someone that you stalked them around the clock and knew their location and you practically forgot about your favourite sport, and you justified all of this by saying that this person (malfoy ahem) was “up to something”.
yo everyone, this user and i co-run an instagram for incorrect hp quotes (along with another girl)! show her some love! and the ig lmao, the handle is the same as her user (@draco-is-gay)
i mean, i know i’m a hopeless romantic but also last night i was studying my arabic vocab when i looked up the word “always” and that led me to the root “to last” and then it took me to the phrase “as long as it lasts” and i couldn’t study for the rest of the night bc my brain was too preoccupied thinking of some tragic 19th century romance with angsty love letters filled with angstier promises but maybe i’m just gay
