This is a threat

[narcissablack14]

The concept of the main four girls (Lily, Mary, Marlene, Dorcas) all sharing a room in Griffondoor and all being on the aromantic spectrum, but being so so close.

They all thought they were in love with each other at one point or another because of their deep and intricate connection to each other. They’ve all been mistaken as a polycule when truly they’re a very intense QPR

The way it does spread, and maybe Lily is demiromantic and does fall in love with James. Maybe Mary is allosexual and often has flings.

But they are all, no mater what, attatched to each other.

Inspiration from this post by @lightpinklightning

Just realised I put on my lipstick the same way my friend does, and it makes me think. My favourite ice cream is my childhood friend’s go-to, even if we don’t speak much anymore. My favourite flower is the one my college friend sends me pictures of because they’re her favourite. What am I but a collection of fragments of all the people I care about? Isn’t that precious enough? Isn’t it?

WRITE ME THE ESSAY YOU COWARD

[neil-gaiman]

Hi Neil!

I just finished watching Dead Boy Detectives and loved it!!

I have a question about it, though:

There is a finnish painting called ”Lemminkäisen äiti” by artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, which really reminded me of the washer woman painting !! :))

I was wondering if there was any chance that it was inspired by it or if it’s just my imagination :D? (Really cool either way)

(Here’s the painting, it’s about Lemminkäinen’s mother griefing the death of her son, based on Finland’s national epic Kalevala)

I personally have always loved that painting -- i first saw it in the Helsinki art museum in about 1997 and it was my second favourite painting there.

But I don't know the answer to your question.

[kuunvalossa]

If you don’t mind, would you share with us what your number one favourite painting there was?

Simberg's Wounded Angel.

Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!?  Libraries literally saved my life as a child!

Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!

I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs) 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!

As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)

New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!

Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.

Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.

Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.

[psi1998]

I love the library ☺

[icycove]

The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places

[jaks21]

Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.

[earhartsease]

I used to wander about the fiction section in my local library, and choose books with the most interesting titles - I discovered two amazing authors that way

[vaginadude]

If you feel disconnected from your local community & want to find ways to get involved, seriously consider spending some time at the library. Go to some events! Organize a reading group!

[mathcat345]

Support your libraries!

Read banned books!

People who don’t learn can be more easily controlled and told what to think!

[electricheart]

it’s so true that the greatest weapon against nihilism and existential despair is to find joy in the mundane and never stop chasing after love

[lightpinklightning]

for so long i tought valedictorian was a dinosaur

[lightpinklightning]

this past week i have removed twitter (it scares me) and removed tiktok (it scares me and i was addicted) and slowly started using tumblr way too much for the year 2023... is it better? probably not :)

[lightpinklightning]

i found out it's a terrieble mistake to first read quite a lot of terry prachett and then jump into reading neil gaiman for the first time. now i'm being sucked back into my obsession with good omens with the added bonus of having alot of books i'm eager to read and my reading motivation back. as i said a horrieble mistake.

[actuallyitskal]

okay, now regulus and remus are throwing peanuts at people. this is hilarious.

reg got one in someone's drink, and remus managed to get another one back onto the nut stall.

they're perfect together. i'm obssesed with platonic moonseeker.

[mrsfrecklesmaraudersau]

Fuck Romeo and Juliet,

Fuck Jack and Rose,

In fact, fuck romantic relationships,

I want what these bitches have:

James Potter and Sirius Black

Regulus Black and Pandora Lovegood

Remus Lupin and Lily Evans

Mary Macdonald and Marlene McKinnon

[lightpinklightning]

lily and regulus bonding over the fact that they're both aro >>>>

[lightpinklightning]

the urge to write a fanfic abt the marauders and make literally everyone aspec and focus on all of the platonic relationships?? not that i've ever written a fanfic before and i have no clue about plot or anything and i'm 99% i will never do it but... it's an idea i guess...

[nerdblob]

me and the platonic aroace spec soulmate idea i have for wolfstar

[lightpinklightning]

i love you??

[stymphalian-horrors]

ok i think i hc lily evans as aroace (i’m aro) idk she just gives me the right vibes

she also gives me the vibes that she’d panic abt it in secret, read a bunch of books abt it that probably don’t exist but shh let me have this and then calmly shrug and go yeah that’s me (am i projecting? yes, do i care? absolutely not)

and when she comes out and ppl ask what she means she shrugs and says i just don’t feel it, whatever love you guys fall into isn’t there

sometimes she cries to remus about how she’s going to die alone and then remus hugs her and acts all affronted “does our friendship mean so little to you that you think i’d leave you alone?” or something like that idk

the most outrageous sex jokes, have james potter blushing every time

rejecting james potter could’ve gone something like “look potter, you’re pretty and all but that’s just about it attraction wise, also harassment isn’t cool” that’s was kind of lame but i do like the you’re pretty and all but line

[thoughtsandfaeries]

Lily Evans should be aroace

-Lily wondering why she can't fall in love with James like everyone wants her to.

-Mary confessing to Lily and Lily thinking she ruined their friendship forever.

-Being jealous of Sirius and Remus's relationship and hating herself for it.

-Never feeling like the characters she reads about in romance books.

-Not being able to talk about it with her friends who also gossip about dating and hooking up.

-Never relating to anyone.

-Slowly realizing how important friendship and family are, not just romantic love.
