They forgot that we are Women

They called her a know-it-all. They told her that she was annoying and would never have any friends. They told her she was a mudblood, not worthy to flourish a wand or brew a potion or stand beside the ones they called purebloods. They told her she couldn’t. They forgot that she was persistence, she was strength, that the most important things were friendship and bravery. They forgot that she was Hermione Granger.

They called her crazy. They told her that she would never be anything more than the loony girl who read the quibbler, that crumple-horned snorcacks and nargles were fairytales her father told her to help her get to sleep. They told her that she would never fit in. They forgot that she didn’t want to fit in, that she was secret wisdom and serenity, that they were just as sane as she was. They forgot that she was Luna Lovegood.

They called her small. They told her that she was overshadowed by her brothers, that she was a slut who dated too many boys and who loved the Boy Who Lived because he brought her recognition. They forgot that she didn’t need a boy to bring her recognition, that quidditch and power and rebellion and the bat-bogey hex flowed in her veins. They forgot that anything was possible if you’ve got enough nerve. They forgot that she was Ginny Weasley.

They called her needy. They told her she was clingy and useless and that she needed a boy to define her. They forgot that she truly loved him, she just didn’t know how to show it. They forgot that even though she was afraid, she fought and died for her friends. They forgot that she was Lavender Brown.

They called her self-absorbed. They tpld her she had no right to be in Gryffindor, that she was a sucker for attention from professors like Trelawney, that Harry Potter had only taken her to the Yule Ball because he had no one else to take. They forgot that she was intelligence and small doses of courage and a true friend. They forgot that she was the prettiest girl in her year. They forgot that she was Parvati Patil.

They called her shallow. They told  her that she was gorgeous only on the outside, that she was stuck-up and patronizing. They forgot that she would die for the ones she loved, that looks meant nothing to her, that she was as much a fairy princess as they were. They forgot that she was Fleur Delacour.

They called her weak. They told her to get over her tears, that she would be happy again if she only tried, that she wouldn’t survive a storm. They forgot that she was the storm, that she was hidden strength, that her fury was as strong as her sorrow. They forgot that even if they had the emotional range of a teaspoon, she didn’t. They forgot that she was Cho Chang.

They called us many names

but they forgot that we are W O M E N

Next Generation Headcanons

- Scorpius was Lilys very first crush, she gave him up after figuring out that he’s into Albus

- Lily is super empathic but also very manipulative. She can get everyone to do whatever she wants. Most of the time they don’t even notice.

- Lily’s Gryffindor. No one understands it, they suspect that she somehow managed to trick the hat into putting her to Gryffindor

- Lily and James have a bet about who Scorpius will date. Lily says Albus and James thinks it’ll be Rose

- There’s actually a lot betting going on in the Weasley/Potter family. They literally bet about everything. “Which team will win Quidditch game?” “When will Teddy and Victoire finally get together?” “Who gets the next detention?”

- The loser punishment is always the same. They have to be the winners servant for a whole day. Any day.

- They love to win against Teddy, most of the time he has to go to detention for them.

- Everyone quickly learnes that Lily and Rose always win. Well, everyone except James.

- James and Fred (jr.) are in the same year. They’re probably worse than the marauders and the twins together.

- George secretly provides them with whatever they need for pranks, he’s very proud of his son

- Of course Angelina knows what George is doing, but she pretends not to notice

- James and Fred are the masterminds of their pranks but they’re only successful because they have friends or family in every single Hogwarts house who are more than willing to help them execute their plans

Note: English isn’t my first language, I’m sorry for any mistake I made

A song for a heart so big, God wouldn’t let it live.

I would love to lose focus and have a consensual workplace relationship with hugh grant

Don’t sleep on Charlotte Branwell

This woman. This fucking woman. She was the head of one of the most important institutes. At the age of 18. In 1878. She dealt with the sexism that came from the men in the Clave and sometimes even from women who should have backed her up. She dealt with the shitty way Will treated her, but she never gave up her hope for him because she knew deep inside that he was a good person. She dealt with the knowledge that Jem, a boy she loved like a brother, was going to die soon and there was nothing she could do about it. She dealt with Jessamine’s crap and she still always tried her best to make her happy. She dealt with Tessa who did not even know what she was, Charlotte always tried to help her and keep her safe despite the fact that she was only a stranger. She dealt with thought that her husband, the man she loved, did not love her back for five years. All while running the London Institute and being only 23 years old, but she never let that discourage her. Seriously, there is no way in hell a normal 23 year old woman would be able to do this (no offense to the normal 23 year old women reading this).

She was never scared to be the head of the London Institute, despite the fact that that was the most likely place Mortmain would attack because Tessa was there. She didn’t even for a second think of kicking Tessa out in order to secure her safety. She was such a beautiful human being. She sealed with Jessamine’s betrayal like a queen, and then she FORGIVED her, and let her come back into the Institute because she knew Jessamine had nowhere to go. Her love for her husband never wavered when he lost his ability to walk, she never let the comments people made about him change her feelings for him. She is super wise??? She is so wise that Gabriel ( who used to hate her) wanted her approval and wanted her to be proud of him! She fought in an extremely dangerous battle while being pregnant???SHE WAS THE FIRST WOMAN CONSUL!!! And her accomplishments don’t stop there. She raised another wonderful human being! Why does nobody give Charlotte any credit for Matthew Fairchild??? He wouldn’t be the person he is if he had had another mother!!! And still there are people who have the audacity to disrespect her! They make rumors about her not being faithful to her husband!

Just how ignored Charlotte is is insane. Many people don’t realize that strong women like her in YA are super rare. Most strong women in YA are viewed as extremely beautiful, are always surrounded by a ton of men who love them, they are usually heartless, and would kill you for looking at them the wrong way. Guess what? Charlotte is not like that at all that. She is such a brave, caring, and strong human being who deserves more respect and love, she is the type of person I can only dream of being one day, she is a role model. She is one of the most badass women in TSC, so please stop sleeping on her.

A love that never tires

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”
