How Do I Grow A Set Of Antlers And Become A Deep Forest Mist Deity Within 5 Years

Scorpius: Dad, guess what Albus did today?!

Draco: Did he comb back his adorably messy hair with his fingers during Potions?

Scorpius: Yeah and he smiled at me, but it was like a half smile like-

Draco & Scorpius: he had a secret only you and him knew about!

Scorpius: Yes, exactly!

Lucius: ....what the hell?

Pokemon headcanon that once Absol are studied and people realize they prevent disasters instead of causing them, particularly dangerous workplaces get themselves a workplace Absol and it also decreases accidents.

Construction sites and fishing ships and factories will have one that pretty much just lazes about until it just gets up howling one day and knocks a dude down. They almost never figure out what would have happened but they're always like "yes absol thank you absol I am so grateful to be on the floor right now. Can I offer you a treat in this trying time"

If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can’t humans be summoned by ants? The answer is they should be.

Some little things about Cursed Child on stage that gave me heart eyes...

Them not pronouncing the ‘t’ in Voldemort

That rippling effect when the time turner does the thing

“IS THAT A FARMER’S MARKET?!”

Scorpius…literally everything.

Draco…also literally everything.

James and Lily Potter *heart eyes/heartbreak*

THAT FRIGGIN POLYJUICE POTION TRANSFORMATION HOLY SHIT HOW DID THEY????

Albus/Ron and Scorpius/Harry omfg the hilarity

Scorpius hiding Delphi with his cloak to act casual

Something for all the shippers (no seriously at least a moment for everyone it was great)

Dementors being terrifying and swooping and being terrifying my god

SEAMLESS MAGIC. DID THEY CONSULT MAGICIANS? THEY HAD TO HAVE DONE

That music <3 esp those final moments of Act 2 and then the choreographed Death Eater/teacher march in Act 3 Scene 1 A++

Good Dad Draco Malfoy <3

pIGEONS

Basically everything Anthony Boyle did as Scorpius tbh

No seriously idk if it was his wig or a creative decision to have Scorpius play with his hair nervously but it woRKED.

“Well she didn’t kiss MeeeEEEEeeeeEEE………..”

Scorpius and his every encounter of ‘Voldemort and Valor’ lmao

The fact there were little gasps and big gasps when different things were revealed like Delphi’s tattoo or Harry yells that thing. The fact people actually cried out when we found out Neville had been murdered. The laughs from the titters to the full on cackling. That one line (honestly I cANNOT FOR THE life OF ME REMEMBER WHICH ONE ARGH) Draco said to Harry that had people laughing, then keep laughing then eventually give a small round of applause because what amazing delivery)

There was more but I can’t think now my head is spinning.

My point is that a lot of people have said that people who have seen the show are blinded by the spectacle of it all, and y’know what? Maybe I have been. I know that a lot of it’s ridiculous (like my bb Cedric and Delphi’s origin lmao) but I also know that it was fun and magical and something new. It’s been 9 years since a Harry Potter story surprised and dazzled me.

Your ships are still canon, you can easily ignore the bits you don’t care for and really, IT WASN’T JK ROWLING WHO WROTE IT ANYWAY SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT AS CANON?????

You know what I’ve just realised again after having watched the cuddle clip for the 5267391856th time:

One of the many reasons why I fell in love with skam so much when I first saw it is that it shows people in their purest form. They don’t cover up any “flaws” or “insecurities” one might see in their skin. They embrace them. They leave the pimples, the acne, the moles, the birthmarks, the hair on their skins, all of it. It’s ok if you want to wear make-up because you just feel like it for you and not for anyone else and it’s also ok if the concept of wearing make-up isn’t of any interest to you. These little bit significant things make the scenes and characters so much more authentic and realistic and you forget for a second that you’re watching a fictional story. 

When the characters wake up in the morning they actually look like they’ve just woken up. Bags under their eyes, messy hair without any product in it, no make-up, eyes can barely open, crinkles on their faces from the pillow and their faces just look like they’ve been squashed by a truck bc that’s reality that’s how it’s supposed to be. No one in the history of humanity has ever woken up like they just had magical little helpers during the night working on it. 

I’m saying “flaws” and “insecurities” bc in most of the stuff I saw when I was a teenager or still even in so many films and tv shows now they are viewed as flaws bc they’re being covered up by this ton of make-up, so you can’t see any spots, any marks and anything that doesn’t look “smooth” and “perfect”. And that’s just such a horrible portrayal of humans to put out there in the world?? Film and tv have such a huge impact on societal standards and values and how people view themselves that it’s almost criminal to force such a wrong depiction of what you’re supposed to look like onto someone, especially when you have a younger/teenage audience.

And also wtf even is perfect in that sense, there is no such thing as perfection when it comes to something that is so unique in every single way. You can’t paint a picture of the ultimate perfection bc it doesn’t exist. There are infinite individual perfections for every single person bc we all view things in a different way. 

We are the same species but we’re all different. Everyone has different skin and it’s so important to embrace that. How boring would it be if we all actually looked the same and had no individual traits that adorned our skins?

One of my favorite parts about traveling through Erebus is getting to stop and chat with Arachne, as well as dressing Melinoë up all pretty for her upcoming fights!
