Concept: fratsonas. Create a self-insert that’s a douchey frat bro. Mine’s name is Josh

Everyone keeps tagging this saying they’re Chad but listen guys. We can’t all be a Chad. If you really want your fratsona to be a Chad you have to earn it

Shout out to Beatrice, my girl invented the first “One Brain-Cell” Joke when mocking Benedick, the first mention of him in the entire play.

“In our last conflict four of his five wits went halting off, and now is the whole man governed with one…” - Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing, Act 1 Scene 1

imagine being in ravenclaw and going back to your common room  stumbling drunk in the middle of the night after a magical night of partying and having to answer a fucking riddle in order to get in your own goddamn bedroom

keep your friends close, but your enemies closer

like really, very close

intimately close 

so close that you can feel your enemies breath on your neck

and you shiver with hatred and… anticipation? 

turn around and look deep into your enemies eyes, letting your gaze drag down to their lips, your eyes intense with desire. push your enemies up against the wall.

make out with your enemies.

your friends, who are still close, are super uncomfortable and kinda grossed out
