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.

WE DO NOT COME AFTER PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL ON THIS PLANET.

[bvkspine]

the studious reader: reads in coffe shops and at the library, drinks lots of lattes, takes the best pictures, lives for the aesthetic, blankets and cozy outfits and candles are a priority no matter the place and time of year or day, probably a literature student or in a social sciences field, tabs, comes up with the weirdest and most detailed theories

the chaotic reader: reads four books at once, regularly forgets characters’ names, crazy reading habits, reads mostly late at night or for unhealthy stretches of time, eats snacks or bites nails while reading, had an intense reading phase around the year 2014 and feels very nostalgic about that, passionate and outspoken

the summer reader: reads outside, wears sunglasses and sits directly on the ground to read, plays with sand or grass while reading, gets bored if the story is stalling or running in circles but otherwise gets easily lost in a book, likes a sweet drink or a nice cup of tea, unapologetically reads bad chick lits, plot over prose, tropes are friends

the addicted reader: reads on the bus in bed on a chair in class at work in the bath whilst walking, would read in their sleep, wears headphones to impede social interactions, owns the largest and most eclectic collection of books, refuses to think about the library of alexandria, picky and generally hard to please, likes to keep their favorite copies freakishly clean

imagine if at the end of a movie instead of credits it just had one piece of text come up that said “credit to the people who made this movie :) x”

mary shelley was the daughter of one of the first feminists as we know it, she met & ran away with percy shelley when she was 18, she wrote BOTH the first sci fi AND post apocalyptic novels, she was at the forefront of romanticism AND gothicism, two of the most influential literary and artistic movements in present day, she suffered from depression and only one out of her four children lived, her husband, who had several affairs, died when they were in their twenties, a majority of her friends and romantic poets also all died in their twenties, and yet she still continued writing poetry and novels and creating art throughout the rest of her life and lived til she was nearly 60. mary shelley is incredibly underappreciated she went through so much and has contributed & influenced so much to the english lit. canon as we know it she is one of the most remarkable writers & women of this era & i love her

[onceuponatimeinerebor]

She wrote Frankenstein when she was 18 because Lord Byron challenged her to write a ghost story. She wrote the first sci-fi novel, and absolute classic, as a teenager because someone fucking dared her to.

Also, she lost her virginity on her mother’s grave and kept her husband’s calcified heart in her desk drawer.

Goth queen Mary Shelly is my idol.

The Archeron Sisters

Feyre - skinned knees, messy braids, chilly winds, a clear night sky, splinters, the first sunlight, sloppy kisses, frayed paintbrushes, the silence of the woods, billowing smoke, moonlight, worn out boots, the colour of bruises, dreams and nightmares, the smell of crisp air 

Elain - slim fingers, dishevelled hair, muddied shoes, the smell of gardenias, satin ribbons, grass stains, freckles, the buzzing of bees, squinty eyes when smiling, lazy mornings, blushing cheeks, sunburnt shoulders, secret romances, fresh strawberries, butterflies

Nesta - running a finger over book spines, a crackling fire, the clicking of high heels, curtains blowing in the wind, dark purples and light blues, sunsets that look like the sky is on fire, pomegranate seeds, thunderstorms, pale skin, exploring maps, piano music, corsets

[maladjustedchangeling]

Everyone’s interpreting “Nfwmb” as Hozier being protective of his baby like she’s delicate, but maybe the intent is different. Nothing fucks with her because she’s tough, scary, even, like a goddess ushering in the apocalypse. The end slouching toward Bethlehem stops when it gets a good look at her. The sound of corpses rolling in their graves excites her, she is warmed by the world burning, she cremates her dead enemies. Listen to the uncertainty in his voice when he sings, “Ain’t you my baby?” Nothing fucks with his baby, but he doesn’t have anything to do with that.

[crowsvalentine]

If Netflix or whoever decides to adapt six of crows into a tv show I need there to be a teaser trailer with none of the main characters, it’s just an unnamed old man in a work shop filled with steampunk prosthetics and other aids and when he’s finally done he holds up whatever he was working on and it’s a crows head cane and the screen changes to a date but then right before the trailer ends there’s a clip of a gloved hand wrapping around the handle

[lyannablackbeak]

OH MY GOD

@lbardugo 

[dunyashas]

inej, seeing kaz about to do some dumbass reckless shit: don’t even fuckin think about it

kaz, cane in hand, already taking off his shirt: bold of you to assume i think about things

[kingofgansey]

if joanne kathleen rowling is going to be apologizing, she should be sorry for not including a draco malfoy redemption arc that would’ve shown young kids and adults that family values and environments do not ultimately define you and that you are your own person capable of choosing your own beliefs and paths

[highladyjel]

Modern au where the ACOTAR characters are love island contestants…i can see it now, week one feyre and tamlin couple up and week two Rhys comes into the Vila and stirs shit up

[rightinthephils]

[trainthief]

Can you imagine how fucking wild ladies must have gone for the rejection in pride and prejudice right after it was first published. This guy’s making ten thousand a year and her family is expecting her to find accommodation for herself sooner rather than later and STILL Lizzie is like “no. No. True love only. And also while I’ve got you here please accept my invitation to fuck off.” I would’ve lost my damn gourd, I would’ve gone bonkers. And group chats didn’t exist so you’d just have to hope your friends were as far into the book as you so you could meet at the village green to throw a fucking riot

[trainthief]

I’d write my friends an urgent communique as soon as I’d finished the Collins proposal scene too like “My dearest Anne, you simply won’t BELIEVE the developments of this chapter. Read urgently and respond post fucking haste!!” And seal it with a wax stamp and shit.
