Still trying to process the fact that Klaus was straight up killed,, by a furry, at a furry rave, met GOD then came back to life bc she thought that he was a bitch and mentioned precisely zero(0) of these facts to his siblings

You know, if I was murdered, and if one of my sons – adopted sons – happened to be able to commune with the dead, I might think about, I don’t know.. I don’t know.. MANIFESTING! 

Come on now, Reggie!

why is being alive so expensive. i’m not even having a good time

[swingsetindecember]

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like

“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”

and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

[nonlinear-nonsubjective]

“I literally made three- THREE- 18th century corsets last week. You can wait until one of them gets back, or you can go sometime post-1920s, because if I have to sew one more god damn channel I will literally lose my mind.”

“Upper middle class?!?!? You told me upper class! FUCK YEAH THERE’S A DIFFERENCE!!!”

“How about kimoNO.”

“Look me in the eyes. I do not care what you want. This is the 1500s. You absolutely cannot wear trousers.”

“Another court gown?? Here’s a novel idea: go as a peasant for once in your life. Why do you do this to me? You’re fucking sadists that’s why.”

“Don’t mind me, I’ll just be up all night hand painting silk.”

“THE POLICY IS ONE MONTH’S ADVANCE NOTICE ON PRE-1900s WOMEN’S FASHION FOR A REASON, DEBRA.”

women in gothic horror be like “i’m just going to wander the freezing halls of this old mansion barefoot in my nightdress until either the ghosts get me or the consumption does”

[pauleonotis]

I’ll never get over the fact that Harry can perfectly perform magic (and even win against the elder wand) with Draco’s wand. I mean… it kinda proves that they both got the same chemistry and that Draco‘s wand understands him, right?

(I mean even Narcissa‘s wand didn’t understand Draco perfectly well and it was his mother‘s!)

They just have to be soulmates.

I need to see Klaus running down a flight of stairs in heels in season 2. Let me see him do it without breaking his jaw. Let me see the personal growth.

[hausvonklaus]

Give us this scene, Netflix! No reason, no context, just a scene of Klaus in some bedazzled stilettos running down the stairs. Maybe add Diego in the background, watching with bated breath, then giving a thumbs up when it doesn’t end in disaster.

Klaus! KLA-A-AUS!

"Should parents read their daughter's texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?"

Earlier today, I served as the “young woman’s voice” in a panel of local experts at a Girl Scouts speaking event. One question for the panel was something to the effect of, “Should parents read their daughter’s texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?”

I was surprised when the first panelist answered the question as if it were about cyberbullying. The adult audience nodded sagely as she spoke about the importance of protecting children online.

I reached for the microphone next. I said, “As far as reading your child’s texts or logging into their social media profiles, I would say 99.9% of the time, do not do that.”

Looks of total shock answered me. I actually saw heads jerk back in surprise. Even some of my fellow panelists blinked.

Everyone stared as I explained that going behind a child’s back in such a way severs the bond of trust with the parent. When I said, “This is the most effective way to ensure that your child never tells you anything,” it was like I’d delivered a revelation.

It’s easy to talk about the disconnect between the old and the young, but I don’t think I’d ever been so slapped in the face by the reality of it. It was clear that for most of the parents I spoke to, the idea of such actions as a violation had never occurred to them at all.

It alarms me how quickly adults forget that children are people.

[daeranilen]

Apparently people are rediscovering this post somehow and I think that’s pretty cool! Having experienced similar violations of trust in my youth, this is an important issue to me, so I want to add my personal story:

Around age 13, I tried to express to my mother that I thought I might have clinical depression, and she snapped at me “not to joke about things like that.” I stopped telling my mother when I felt depressed.

Around age 15, I caught my mother reading my diary. She confessed that any time she saw me write in my diary, she would sneak into my room and read it, because I only wrote when I was upset. I stopped keeping a diary.

Around age 18, I had an emotional breakdown while on vacation because I didn’t want to go to college. I ended up seeing a therapist for - surprise surprise - depression.

Around age 21, I spoke on this panel with my mother in the audience, and afterwards I mentioned the diary incident to her with respect to this particular Q&A. Her eyes welled up, and she said, “You know I read those because I was worried you were depressed and going to hurt yourself, right?”

TL;DR: When you invade your child’s privacy, you communicate three things:

You do not respect their rights as an individual.

You do not trust them to navigate problems or seek help on their own.

You probably haven’t been listening to them.

Information about almost every issue that you think you have to snoop for can probably be obtained by communicating with and listening to your child.

Part of me is really excited to see that the original post got 200 notes because holy crap 200 notes, and part of me is really saddened that something so negative has resonated with so many people.

That’s so touching, all that stuff about family and Dad and time.

[hausvonklaus]

I want to see more of Klaus knitting in season two. He’s eating breakfast? Knitting. Using the bathroom? Knitting. Practicing his levitation? He can totally knit while doing that.

Or even better: what if his knitting is never even once mentioned? Everyone is just wearing a ridiculous knitted creation in completely serious scenes with zero context. Then for three seconds half way through the season, we see Klaus knitting, and that’s literally it.

if the marauders were brilliant enough to discuss their fullmoon trips in front of snape, then there’s no way they’d be able to conceal themselves from mcgonagall. unless of course some things would just be too much for her to handle.

yeah hyperfixation can be inconvenient sometimes but when i’m between hyperfixations life is like meaningless so

[goldenrose95]

Not to mention that feeling when you find a new thing to hyperfixate on and it’s like getting high for the first time
