Last Things Meme I was tagged by the lovely @tattooedshakespeare (thanks! :) Let’s do this...

What was the last movie you saw? I’ve been rewatching a lot of movies lately and yesterday was Austenland’s turn. But the last one I actually watched for the first time was Suffragette. 

What was the last song you listened to? Thieves by She&Him.

What was the last show you watched? War and Peace. 

What was the last book you read? I’m reading Lady Chatterley’s Lover, but the last book I finished was The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber.

What was the last thing you ate? A tangerine.

If you could be anywhere else right now, where would you be? Is it a bit predictable to say London? But that’s where I would love to be right now without a single doubt.

If you could pick a decade to travel back to, which one would it be? Difficult. The 80s, probably. But just out of sheer curiosity, I would come back in an instant. 

If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you’d do? Help some people I know.

What fictional character would you want to hang out with? Amy Pond, Ned the Piemaker and the rest of the gang of Pushing Daisies, Arabella Strange, Simon from Misfits, Peggy Carter... and many more.

What was the last fandom you joined? ... I’m not active in any fandom and I don’t really follow them right now.

Harry Potter :)

are you ready??? because this is going to be pretty long!

favorite male character: sirius black (fave fictional character eVER), remus lupin (2nd fave), james potter, harry potter, ron weasley

favorite female character: lily evans, ginny weasley

least favorite character: *screams* sNAPE

favorite ship: do you even have to ask??? JILY FOREVER AND EVER TILL DEATH DO US PART (and not even sure that's gonna end my love for them bc i will probably still ship them in heaven)

favorite friendship: THE MARAUDERS, sirus and james, sirius and remus, sirius and lily, remus and lily, harry and ron, harry and hermione, the golden trio, harry and luna

favorite quote:

"we've all got both light and dark inside us, what matters is the side we choose to act on. that's who we really are" 

"if you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals"

"she hated him!" "nah, she didn't" (for obvious reasons)

"you care. you care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it"

“i'm going to keep going until I succeed-or die. don't think i don't know how this might end. i've known it for years” 

"it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live"

"you fail to recognise that it matters not what someone is born, but what they turn out to be"

"it is our choices, harry, that show what we truly are far more than our abilities"

"words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it"

"happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light" (yeah i know, a loooot of dumbledore quotes there, but jo gave him the best ones, you can't deny it)

not exactly a quote from the books, but it's harry potter related anyway: "no story lives unless someone wants to listen. the stories we love best do live in us forever. so whether you come back by page or by the big screen, hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home"

worst character death: hAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA is this a joke??? SIRIUS (i'm still not over it and i don't think i ever will), remus, james and lily /curls up in a ball and cries a river/

this made me so happy you have no idea moment:

harry being told he is a wizard

harry getting a birthday present (from hagrid) for the first time since his parents' death

harry walking into platform 9 and 3/4 and getting into the hogwarts express for the first time ever

harry getting christmas presents during his first year at hogwarts (he always was so unloved and didn't get any presents and just to know how he must have felt then makes me so damn happy)

harry seeing his parents in the mirror of erised (ok this is not exactly very happy, but it still is, bc how long had it been since he had seen his faces??? hE MUST HAVE FELT SO OVERJOYED TO SEE HIS PARENTS EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T REALLY THERE)

harry being loved by the weasleys as if he were another member of the family

HARRY BEING LOVED AND CARED ABOUT AND KNOWING HE'S NOT ALONE AND THAT HE HAS FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM HAPPY!!!!!!!!!

saddest moment: sirius' death and harry seeing his godfather, the last real family he had, being killled right in front of him and not being able to do anything about it and seeing the person that probably cared more about him leaving him all alone again and like hOW CAN YOU ASK ME THIS
