supersonic girl (just you try to stop me): “you know what, mulciber? i used to blame myself for what you did to me. it had to be my fault, right? i’m the dumb mudblood who let you make me think that you were cute & clever. but i know better now. i hate the scars you gave me but still, i’m proud as fuck to wear them. because they’re a constant, clear reminder that some terrified, pathetic little boy once tried to break me — used his daddy’s imperius & worse to do it, too — but i survived, i broke his nose & i helped put his arse in azkaban for life.”

i don’t want realism; i want magic: “you have got some nerve, do you know that? you always have. but i’m not like you, meda, and i do not wish to be. i remember all too well your dalliances with hestia & gwenog jones, with the other young ladies in your year, before you eloped & left us. that is why i do not, as you suggest, glance at other girls, nor think of them like that. officially, i have eyes only for lucius malfoy. even if i do not love him, no matter what i think when he kisses me or touches me, i will marry lucius malfoy. i will give him a son; perhaps, i will even give him daughters. and everything will be worth it, when this happens, because i may never love lucius malfoy, but i will love those children more than you ever, in your mind, loved us.” — a letter from narcissa black, to her disowned elder sister; spring, 1974.

inner beauty is for ugly people: “that’s *disgusting*. and wrong. i don’t even… i’ve *never* had sex with anyone, anywhere. it’s none of your— you have the nerve, the audacity… gildylocks is my subordinate, technically. and he is *terrible*, face-wise. and how do i know, frankly, that *you’re* not sleeping with him? maybe you are. maybe you’re trying to throw me off, hmm? check and mate.” — rita skeeter, just grateful that no one asked if she’s a lesbian, or sleeping with gladys gudgeon or meghan mccormack.

[amorremanet]

a mwpp era fanwork meme…

…that i seriously just made up as an excuse to do stuff i already wanted to in the first place

1 precious baby fave (not a marauder)

2 leaders/figureheads

4 marauders

4 major events/turning points

5 death eaters

5 order members

5 ministry officials

5 civilians/others

6 gender headcanons

6 sexual/romantic headcanons

6 sorting headcanons

7 pieces of social history*

8 lady characters

10 ships/otp's/whatever

10 relationships of any nature

*: i.e., not about battles or what laws are passed on which dates, or the bigger names and happenings of the political, military, diplomatic, legal and/or constitutional, cultural (i.e., the field of history focused on societal and cultural phenomena, popular culture through the ages, studying popular culture as a reflection of the societies that created it, looking at how the concepts we take for granted evolve and how the discourse around them changes, and so on), economic, intellectual (i.e., the field of history focused on major ideas, thinkers, philosophies and theories, major ideological movements, and so on; often called, "the history of ideas"), civil and/or legislative, etc etc. historical narratives

BUT it's also distinct from the "single great man/person" narratives of history, where single ~Great People~ (lbr: it's usually white or hella whitewashed men, whether literally like with a few of the Roman emperors or figuratively, like the sanitized version of Dr. Martin Luther King) are just so influential that they change ALL THE THINGS

basically, social history is concerned with all of the everyday stuff that we don't usually think of as being part of a larger historical anything. it gets derided as being, "apolitical," but the major defense of it is that it's, "history with the people put back in" — which means that it's incapable of being apolitical because of how politics affect every aspect of what falls under the heading of, "social history." like, blah blah blah, "personal is political" sounds trite as fuck but it happens to be true.

and I'm tapping out now so I can watch the season premiere of GOT, just… go and find the Wikipedia page about social history, okay.
