LIKES TO CHARGE REBLOGS TO CAST

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.

[wormsslime]

Reblogging to add amazing tags from @meta-theory

#this both makes things more fun and also is a really good analogy#because there are four types of system maintenance and that makes the term much more exact than the nebulous ''self-care''#and therefore much more helpful to those of us who uhhh struggle with nebulosity#for anyone curious the four types are:#1. corrective (to fix current problems)#2. preventative (to avoid future problems)#3. adaptative (to re-adjust to any changes)#4. perfective (to work towards a better system)#I really like this idea I'm gonna make a checklist

A List of All the Clothing Items Harry Potter Likes

(a list of all the clothing he doesn't like would be much, MUCH longer)

1. The Weird Sisters' Concert Outfits

"black robes that had been artfully ripped and torn"

2. Bill Weasley's Whole Look

Bill was — there was no other word for it — cool. He was tall, with long hair that he had tied back in a ponytail. He was wearing an earring with what looked like a fang dangling from it. Bill’s clothes would not have looked out of place at a rock concert, except that Harry recognized his boots to be made, not of leather, but of dragon hide.

A very unusual level of detail from Harry (normally only present when describing outfits he hates.) He's paying attention to the specific material of Bill's shoes, and seems to be drawn to a rock-and-roll sort of look.

3. The Cursed Opal Necklace

a magnificent necklace of opals, Caution: Do Not Touch. Cursed

4. Madame Maxime's Opal Necklace/Ring Set

many magnificent opals gleamed at her throat and on her thick fingers.

I guess Harry likes opals.

5. The Bulgarian Minister's World Cup Look

splendid robes of black velvet trimmed with gold

Harry has been known to be a bit of a magpie when it comes to gold things. Like snitches, and that solid gold cauldron Hagrid wouldn't let him buy, and that solid gold set of gobstones Hagrid also wouldn't let him buy.

6. Yaxley's Ministry of Magic Robes

magnificent, sweeping robes, which were embroidered with much gold thread.

Yaxley's robes are apparently identical to the Bulgarian Minister's robes.

7. Mrs. Weasley's Gold Necklace

spectacular golden necklace

he likes gold things okay

8. Dumbledore's Start-of-Term-Feast Look

magnificent deep green robes embroidered with many stars and moons.

9. Dumbledore's Purple Velvet Dressing Gown

He was wearing a magnificently embroidered purple-and-gold dressing gown over a snowy-white nightshirt

10. Dumbledore's Purple Velvet Suit (Honorable Mention)

“Nice suit, sir,” said Harry, before he could stop himself, but Dumbledore merely chuckled

Honorable mention because of Harry not meaning to say that, and Dumbledore thinking the exchange is funny. Young!Dumbledore is wearing "flamboyant" head-to-toe plum velvet, and Harry is either being sarcastic, or trying very very hard not to say, "That's gay."

11. Slughorn's Funeral Look

magnificent, long, emerald green robes embroidered with silver. 

12. Draco's Dark Green Robes

a handsome set of dark green robes that glittered with pins around the hem and the edges of the sleeves

SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

~ Harry's style profile is either "rock star" or "elf prince"

~ He likes shiny things, and appreciates jewelry

~ I think his favorite color might be green?

~ Dumbledore can put together an outfit.

~ Harry should get some black-and-gold robes.

~ Harry prefers more of an "elf prince" look on Draco

Rereading chamber of secrets with the discord gang and I am slipping into my Arthur Weasley fan club era

[dufferpuffer]

because he is the best character in the books my man can do no wrong

[tedwardremus]

Arthur Weasley

Loves his wife openly, using adorably corny pet names and showing consistent affection

Takes visible pride in his children. They respect him deeply and look to him for moral guidance

Continues to write laws protecting Muggles even a decade after Voldemort’s defeat, proving his commitment to justice is not reactive but soemthing he honestly believes in

One of the few characters shown consistently working toward systemic reform, not just opposing Voldemort, but striving to make the wizarding world more equitable, regardless of personal or political cost.

A highly principled and motivated public servant who does meaningful work despite being undervalued by the Ministry and overlooked by many readers

Though not formally part of the Order during the First Wizarding War, it’s clear Arthur had deep ties to its members and supported their efforts. He references Mundungus Fletcher as early as Chamber of Secrets, and Moody trusts him enough that he gets called in during Goblet of Fire when Moody has the home disturbance.

Exceptionally intelligent and curious. He enchants Muggle objects on his own time and shows a love for discovery, invention, and humor and not enough people talk about how these traits are clearly reflected in Fred and George.

He doesn't hesitate to confront Lucius Malfoy in public, ready to physically defend his family without a second thought.

He and Molly create a true sanctuary for others—a home filled with food, warmth, and unconditional acceptance. Their hospitality is essential to the emotional core of the Order.

Arthur Weasley is, above all, a good man

[dufferpuffer]

Discusses things with his headstrong, stubborn wife without putting her down or dominating conversations - they are very different people but show habits of a very healthy relationship when they disagree.

Finds ways to support his children's interests and autonomy even if he doesn't fully agree with their methods (cough Fred and George)

Values compassion even when people are assholes - stuck around to help the terrified Dursleys, who were being very rude and nasty to him, because they can't deal with magic by themselves.

Still has hard moral limits. One of the first people to stand up for Harry against the Dursleys - and has no patience for Lucius Malfoy's bullshit.

Despite being overworked and undervalued - has made meaningful connections with other people and makes time, space and money to spend doing special things with his family.

Immensely brave. Tackles danger head-on, even if he isn't known to be the strongest Wizard in the world.

Genuine interest in Muggle culture and things. Fandom and the Movies give him shit, portraying him as eccentric and daft, but he shows deeper knowledge and keener understanding of Muggle things no other Pureblood shares. Having a plug collection is so real of him, me too dude He gets words he only occasionally gets to hear spoken wrong (fellytone) but he knows how its used (makes successful phonecalls - and knows you don't need to yell into it) Can DRIVE A CAR on Muggle roads.

Has a Weasel as a patronus. A WEASEL. THAT'S SO CUTE!!!

Burrow-making animal that fights monsters far bigger than itself...

Arthur is the GOAT he is so cool and good

Today on: whether something is good or whether you enjoy it are two different things

I watched obsession!

[waterlilyinclearwater]

Alright last post before I can hopefully let this go and go to bed.

So, Nikki, for as much as she wasn't there for most of the movie, seemed like a really cool character. I really wish we got to see more of her. She was fun, borrowed money to give to a homeless guy, and wasn't afraid to take risks and give up her job to chase her dreams. She really deserved so much more than what happened to her.

I don't blame Bear for making his wish (as he was convinced it would not come true), or for his behavior the first night. He also told Ian he was worried about her.

But as soon as he knew it wasn't really her, he just covered everything up, lying/keeping out his friends, not asking for/not accepting help and he doesn't show love to Nikki.

When he gets offered the chance to speak to the real Nikki, who is clearly in agony in the background, he hangs up the phone as fast as he can.

When she asks him to kill her, because death is better than what he did to her, he makes it all about himself.

It's just, she was so clearly not Nikki anymore. Nikki so clearly was in agony over this

And still, he chose to go on

[waterlilyinclearwater]

Alright last last post for real

I don't have that much sympathy for him because of his cat dying. How on earth did the cat get into the oxycodon in the first place?? It's your responsibility to make sure your cat is safe!!

The cat/the cat's surroundings also looked a bit neglected.

And then when he brings it up to his friends it comes across as if he's only doing it because he wants sympathy, not because he actually cared

[tildexart]

my roommate (who hasnt seen obsession) upon hearing that nikkis last name is freeman pointing out how upsetting that is because. freeman. free man. the one thing she cannot be. fuck man.

[summerbrook]

it is terrifying that bear only sought to "alter" his wish rather than cancelling it but what is even more terrifying is that he wouldn't even have called the number had nikki not inconvenienced him. if she did not act in such extreme ways bear wouldn't even have a problem. which is sooooo sooooo terrifying because he was completely fine living and being "loved" by nikki who he knew wasn't the real her. he claimed to love her, but even when she started acting like a totally different person it was water off a duck's back for him. he DIDN'T CARE whether it was the real nikki or an entirely different person.

even when she begs him to kill her, he does not feel even a shred of pity for her; he only worries "is being with me that bad".

the only reason he tries to change anything is because her behavior started to scare him FREAK him out. had she acted in a meeker way, bear would've lived with her HIS WHOLE LIFE knowing she ISN'T the real nikki NOT GIVING A FUCK about what she would've wanted. PERIOD.

the more i sit with it the more i realise that the title of the movie did not refer to nikki's obsession with bear but rather his obsession with her. because i know fs that what he felt for her definitely wasn't love.

[starvariety]

if i think too hard about nikki’s experience in Obsession i feel physically ill. imagine one second you’re just walking up to your house after a night out, and then the next, you’re looking out of your own body, but you’re not longer in control. you’re a prisoner to a terrible, unnatural version of yourself that only exists because of a choice someone else made. when you scream, nobody listens. when you claw your way out for long enough to explain that this isn’t you, nobody listens. when you beg the man who trapped you in this situation to put and end to it, to set your free, he just. doesn’t. listen. and then when you do finally regain control, all your friends are dead, and you are covered in their blood. because of a choice someone else made

[trudicatcandle]

Im so glad they changed it so she survived because it made everything click in the movie for me. It was the last thing Bear Ruined for her.

Moments where the real Nikki breaks through the wish OBSESSION (2026) Dir. Curry Barker

[shouts-into-the-void]

One thing about Obsession (2026) that I enjoyed was that it almost asks you to feel empathy for the entity possessing Nikki as well as the real one. Like, obviously the things she's doing are horrific and fucked up, but I think the scene where Bear is asking her to "just be Nikki!" and she eventually just desperatly screams "I can't be Nikki!" does a really good job of showcasing the entity's inner feelings. She's been created with the sole purpose of loving this guy more than anyone else but no matter how perfect it is or how much he claims to love her, its not her that he loves, its Nikki. And any time she stops pretending to be Nikki, he reacts (albeit rightfully) with disgust and horror. She can't be Nikki because Nikki would never love Bear, and so Bear will never love her.

[trudicatcandle]

Look bear with me for the Rick and Morty reference but Nikky and her entity is like a Mr Meeseeks situation.

She has one purpose and will literally experience psychological torture every time she is not near Bear or he shows that he is not in love with her. The perspective of losing him is literally mind obliterating and she is just reacting to that level of duress. He wish her to love him more than anything in the world, more than her family her dreams and herself and she can't do anything else except that.

The monologue of what she feels when he is gone was gut Wrenching, and she has felt that way since day one. And after all that suffering she just, evaporates after Bear dies. Sweet release.

[ceruleanheaven]

nikki begging bear to kill her and all he does is ask whats so bad about being with him. one of the most nauseating scenes ive ever witnessed
