"Still-life With Oranges" By Rafael Romero Barros, 1868 🍊

Happy Easter! ☀️

writing as therapy. writing as healing. writing as discovery. writing as self-love. writing as making sense of the dark. writing as rebirth. 

"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together."

-Lisa Kleypas

Woah there, Captain Marvel. Same team, remember?

Do you have a favorite little quirk of Harrys or trait that he has?

Thank you so much for asking, I have several.

1. His cavity-inducing sweet tooth is something that can be tracked throughout the series, and it's something that I find overwhelmingly endearing ( if only because it's the one part of childhood he does cling to no matter what ). Harry's favorite food is treacle tart, unrivaled in its use of sugar.

2. While Harry is mostly touch adverse, conflating excessive touch with 'fuss' which he is known to hate. However, if he sees even a centimeter between Ron and Hermione you know he is going to wedge himself between it and make himself comfortable there. He does this so often and yet it makes my heart squeeze every time.

3. Owls in particular are treated for their utility within the story. Harry is often the only person that goes to visit his owl at the owlery, and he makes a habit of speaking conversationally to her in a way that we don't see anyone else ( save for Albus and Fawkes who we will lump in owl category for comparison's sake ). Hedwig is -- as he often points out -- his first friend and so he treats her as a friend first.

In general, if Harry sees an animal he's probably going to speak to it and there's also a chance he's going to pet it. I think that's neat.
