Couple Goals

"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.

Even a simple reaching action like this, when done more than once, can be guided by different sets of neurons. This phenomenon is called degenетасу. Scientists suspect that all biological systems have degeneracy. In genetics, for example, the same eye colour can be produced by different combinations of genes. Your sense of smell works by degeneracy too, and so does your immune system. Transportation systems have degeneracy as well. You can fly from London to Rome on different airlines, on different flights, on different models of air-plane, in different seats, with different flight attendants. Copilots can take over for pilots. Degeneracy in the brain means that your actions and experiences can be created in multiple ways. Each time you feel afraid, for example, your brain may construct that feeling with various sets of neurons.

me: hedwig. the answer is and will always be hedwig. 

nocturnal

enjoy receiving and sending mail

and being useful to people i love

person i love most: harry james potter

do not take advantage of my kindness; show gratitude or else you will feel my cold disdain

can hold a grudge for chapters

harry james potter is my fav…i dwell with him in his sadness & hoot at his victories

but… but. sometimes he is such an idiotic little shit and i want to die from secondhand embarrassment on his behalf. i don’t even know what to do except ruffle my feathers at him.

it would also be nice if he didn’t put himself in danger all the damn time

compassionate jerk

still love him though. cannot help it, because he’s my son

really, he needs me to protect him

Supporting his every step.

This is brilliant acting right here. You can see the EXACT moment he sees Harry and realizes that he has his mother’s eyes. You can see what Snape was thinking; the moment he sees Harry, he probably just thought that he was going to be arrogant, immature, and exactly like how James Potter used to be.

But then Harry turns his face and looks at him. They make eye contact, and the realization hits him like a ton of bricks. He has Lily’s eyes.

And let’s not forget this was the first movie. Bravo Alan Rickman.

i think what bothers me about a lot of "girl power" narratives is that they function on the implicit idea on the idea that women can become worthy of respect. and i happen to think that really caring about women means believing they already are worthy of respect. that historical seamstresses and soccer moms and forgotten sisters and sweet polite little girls and someone's weird grandma matter just as much as the warriors and politicians, even if they, personally, never accomplish anything "cool."
