I love this generation so much we went through shit like drug scares and eating disorders and being punks and emos and self harmers and depressed and suicidal and now now now you start to see all these flower crowns and pastels and it’s like we’re all slowly slowly healing and growing up and it’s s obeautiful we’re all taking selfies and coming into our own and we’re all scared but we’re all here for each other and we’re unlearning inter-community hate and we’re all just such nice girls and boys and everything else we’re stars and flowers and fae and sunshine and we care about the world and we are just s obeautiful and powerful and new
It’s possible that the most important part of Harry Potter, the entirety of the series, is in PoA when Harry realizes that no one is coming to save him, that it wasn’t his father he saw casting the patronus and sending the dementors away. When he realizes that he has to save himself and he does it.
Also, considering how the Dementors represent Depression, I think the message here is very powerful and real. No one can save you from it but yourself.
people who cling to “traditional language” and reject the fluidity of modern linguistic patterns are so dull and boring! language has the potential to be shaped in so many ways and your biggest priority is still criticizing teens who use ‘like’ as a colloquial quotative
So we now have a confirmed birthday for Sirius Black.
November 3rd.
November fucking 3rd.
Right after James and Lily died.
And we know he spent two days looking for Peter before he was brought to Azkaban, so this means that his birthday, November 3rd, was probably right about when he was hauled off to Azkaban without a trial.
