Weird thing I’ve noticed: Nobody I know actually talks about the current situation by name. Nobody says ‘Corona’ or ‘COVID’, or really even ‘pandemic’. In conversation it’s only referred to in vague terms like ‘the way things are’ or just ‘y’know’.

Like, “I don’t have a bedframe. I had just moved in March and then, well, y’know.”

“I’ve been trying to figure out my school plans, but that’s getting hard because of the way things are.”

“I’d been planning on going to some conventions this summer but….yeah.”

I’d always found it hard to understand how societies in fantasy or sci-fi novels could just all agree at once to not say the name of the big scary threat, until now.

It’s not even out of fear, really, like it’s always portrayed to be. It’s just cause like. There isn’t any reason to specify.

sending an email to a professor like

me: long, well-thought out email where i have carefully considered the connotations of every single word i choose. the rhythm of my sentences is a sort of poetry, composed to be as pleasant to the ear as possible so as to make this a positive experience. i conclude with a genuine show of gratitude to thank my professor for their time and a subtle eagerness to hear their response.

professor:

vernon: don't hear much about that sirius black ruffian any more do you

petunia: that's good, it means the police must have put him back in jail, where he belongs

harry, smashing the door open: HEY GUESS WHAT

there is something poetic about robert pattinson’s past as a vampire coming back to haunt him just as soon as he gets cast as a famous bat

“Black’s gaunt face broke into the first true smile Harry had seen upon it. The difference it made was startling, as though a person ten years younger were shining through the starved mask; for a moment, he was recognizable as the man who had laughed at Harry’s parents’ wedding.”

This is another one of my favorite parts of Prisoner of Azkaban, especially the description of Sirius’ smile. Every time I cry my eyes out!😭

I animated a bit from the Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban audio book, narrated by Stephen fry. Just for fun, don’t know if I’ll do any more of these.
