Oh My God

The moment when you're reading the drinks menu and the waiter's coming right at your table and you skip half of ingredients of the drinks and you get all stressed and have to read that shit again and you look up and he is still walking towards you and you stare at the fucking menu like "go away, i'm not ready yet" and you still haven't chosen anything and then he/she stands before you, stares you directly into the eyes and you say the first thing that's on your mind, the waiter smiles at you and says "coming right up" and you're sitting there like "I didn't even want that drink"

aawww, you're a very cute compliment giver (if that makes sense somehow) and it's Didaktik (that's the german word), the definition is something like "the science of learning and teaching" and it's about how children learn and stuff and it's honestly dry theory. Like, right now we have "Verkleidungsspiel" so dress up game and it's basically why do children play that?, what do they learn with that? And the thing is it's the most important subject at my school (Secondary Training College for Preschool Education (for some reason we aren't allowed to use the german word anymore) but yeah thanks for "listening" to me ranting

Nice you're good too, and trust me, it's the same with me! I also feel so freaking motivated when i'm in school like "I'm gonna rock this shit" and then it's all gone as soon as I really have time to do it

i still remember your post about how death eaters are hairdressers and bc you’re hilarious to me, you’re officially one of my favourite moots (it’s such a great title, i swear on my life etc. etc.) (ok so you might not feel honoured but I AM HONOURED and that’s really what matters) (wait but you also matter) and because you matter and you’re awesomely funny HOW ARE YOU?!

oh my god thank you!! I AM HONOURED TOO! I really love your posts! Okay now i forgot what i wanted to say but thanks for the compliment!

I'm good, just studying for a big test tomorrow (for a subject I hate), how are you?

As a trans person, I am never, ever, ever giving up Harry Potter. And our fandom isn't going anywhere. Fucking deal with it.

Around this time last year, when JKR made some stupid comment (totally forgetting which one, there's just been so many at this point), I wrote a defense of Harry Potter fans' decision to remain in the fandom that essentially boiled down to this: giving up this fandom means giving up our people. In the wake of JKR's horrendous role in the anti-scientific UK Supreme Court ruling conflating sex with gender, this sentiment remains exactly the same.

I don't begrudge any HP fan who can no longer engage with JKR's IP due to this vile development. But I remain loud and proud in my support of the ✨community✨ that Harry Potter has brought together. As I mentioned in my last post, this community is not only full of the funniest, nicest, cleverest, and most creative people I've ever met in my life, but it is also the most diverse I have ever been a part of — and as an extrovert and community organizer who has lived in four different countries and speaks three languages, I have met a shit ton of people and been a part of lots of communities, significantly more than the average person. You are out of your mind if you think I am going to turn my back on the community that has been so critical to my survival as a queer, brown, neurodivergent, depressed, burnt out, poor Muslim femme in this capitalist, fascist hellscape. Day in and day out, my friends and I are pushing forward some of the most powerful narratives about queer, trans, and colonial liberation that society has to offer, which will have ripple effects on media and pop culture in the time to come (as is the nature of fandom). Nothing JKR can do or say will take that away from us. Nothing.

So to everyone who wants to claim that we're being transphobic for FREELY engaging with JKR's IP and doing things with it that would make her combust — that we're transphobic for wanting to keep this beautiful, generous community in tact — I not so kindly ask you to fuck off and leave us the fuck alone. You resist your way, and we will continue to resist in ours.

Bastille is a band that has real good songs, but once you can relate to them, they f*cking hit you with a truck of sadness and next you find yourself wondering about the meaning of life

A: You know, I love watching it flicker and dance, it gives me a feeling of... home

*later that day*

B: *has a lighter*

C: What are you doing now?

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.
