I Don't Know If This Is Just My Neighborhood Or Everyone Does This But Around My Area We Have A Ton Of

So the other day I was watching The Princess and the Frog and I decided that Charlotte La Bouff doesn’t get nearly enough love and there’s a lot of reasons why.

Yes, most people who do love Charlotte think she’s hilarious, mainly there for comic relief and to fall unwittingly into Dr. Facilier’s evil plan. But Charlotte is so much more than that. She is an A+++ friend to Tiana and the fact that she is a white, upper class debutante makes this even more fantastic.

The film takes place in the 1920’s in the South. Do you know what it was like in the south in the early 20th century? It wasn’t good. Reconstruction messed up the south BAD, you guys. You still see a lot of fall out from that time period in terms of racism and social divides. It’s amazing that Charlotte and Tiana are such good friends despite being from such different backgrounds, but neither of them treat the other one any differently because of this. And even though Charlotte first met Tiana through Tiana’s mother, who was clearly a nanny or seamstress or another form of “help” in the La Bouff household, she continued to remain friends with Tiana even after her mother leaves their employment.

When Charlotte hires Tiana to cater her party, it’s not because she feels pity for her or her working class lifestyle. It’s because she’s like “damn girl, your beignets are fantastic, you have to bring them to the party tonight!” When Tiana is clearly going through an emotional time (after finding out she lost her restaurant) Charlotte literally DITCHES HER PRINCE to go comfort Tiana and make her feel better.

Charlotte has had everything in her life, and her only wish is to marry a prince and become a princess. It’s a silly, girlish dream, but it’s all she’s had because she could have anything else. It’s the equivalent of Rapunzel’s dream to see the lights or Aurora’s dream to meet her true love. She has such a hopeful outlook on life and fate having things work out for her, and yet even when she makes a deal with Naveen and he agrees to marry her, she realizes that Tiana is the one who found true love. TIANA is living out her dream and rather than get bitter, Charlotte GLADLY hands over her dream to Tiana. She could have easily forced Naveen to marrying her by kissing him before the clock struck twelve and forgetting about her friend, taking her dream that she’s wanted her WHOLE LIFE for herself, but Charlotte doesn’t even hesitate. “I’ll kiss him, no marriage required!”

Charlotte is a fantastic friend, showing us that it doesn’t matter which background you’re from - friendship knows no color and no social class. THAT is why Charlotte is so freaking amazing.

I wanna do that one day

it seems that everyone i’m friends with is better friends with someone else and that really fucking sucks 

Being A Slytherin Would Include...

Gryffindor | Ravenclaw | Hufflepuff

* * *

Getting excited every time the giant squid would swim past the glass in the common room

Having to stock up on warm clothes bc damn it gets cold in there

Everyone in the dorms having like ten blankets on their beds during winter

Having huge games of Chinese whispers at the Slytherin table which confuses the whole school as to why all the Slytherins are deadly silent

Having the sassiest and most sarcastic conversations ever with your house mates

Staying up late on Friday nights with loads of other slytherins and playing weird drinking games with firewhisky while the minors watch in awe

Always defending people from your house even if you’ve never talked to them before

Getting confused as to why Slytherin is supposed to be the “badass” house because what actually goes on in the common room is eating competitions and rap battles

Creating the strongest and most last-longing friendships 

Passing notes in class 

saying “fight me” under your breath to literally everything

So much swearing

Everyone swearing all the time that you forget that swearing is “bad”

Getting told off in class for swearing

“God fucking dammit i just spilled my fucking ink”

“Excuse me?”

“Sorry professor…slip of the tongue…”

Getting extremely stubborn when people tell you what to do, making you do the opposite. 

Not being as huge a fan of Snape even though everyone thinks Slytherins worship him

Getting really annoyed when people are surprised at how lovely you are, despite being in Slytherin 

Slytherin PRIDE 

… cutie animals icons

i would walk five hundred miles and i would walk five hundred more to be the man who walks a thousand miles to catch literally anything other than another motherfucking pidgey for the love of god

Stabbed in the self esteem

So I’ve been talking to and hanging out with this guy lately. He’s sweet and funny but the other day he said something that really crushed my already crippling self confidence. He was cuddling me and being super cute but then suddenly just starts poking my stomach and says “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You’d look a lot better with just a little off”. 

Like thanks it’s not like I’ve been trying for the past couple months or struggling against my own overeating problems. I’m still blown away by how rude he was

So I was wondering

How old were you when you were diagnosed with depression? Or if you haven't been diagnosed how old were you when you noticed you had it? I was 8 when my grief counselor told my family that I already had full blown depression and anxiety. This is really just to prove to myself and others that it can happen at any age.
