Marauders Fandom Hating Dumbledoor But Loving Barty Has Always Confused Me

Sirius would be one of those evil men who end arguments by saying "let's agree to disagree" or "it is what it is" when he's objectively wrong

for the fandom that loves drarry and jegulus, and complains that the female characters (and sapphic ships)—specifically lily evans—dont get enough love, theres barely any noise for narcissa x lily

the slytherinxgryffindoor, black family drama, foils whos love for their sons saved the wizarding world

black cat, rich girl and academic weapon muggleborn bond over their estranged sibling dynamics and want for a family to protect and love

the tension between present narcissa and snape (especially when she has him form an unbreakable vow to protect her son) when they both wanted lily but fumbled it to protect themselves

the angst when draco comes home complaining about the potter boy—who, just like in narcissa’s life, lily is hidden within, not in surname but in the eyes and the heart.

the extra weight it puts on the scene where narcissa defies Voldemort in telling him that harry is dead. my son is safe so i will give you the same favour, lily.

both lily and narcissa marrying into families notoriously loud and opposing on the wizengamot—marrying young to the pretty and popular, but also asshole boys from school

narcissa watching draco complain about how harry is dating the cool jock, and then much later watching her son mourn his dead lover

Mmmmm fleurdora raising Teddy

this is so rogue but does anyone have the poetry template that went semi-viral on twitter a while back? it was designed for kids but someone gave it to their mother who has dementia and she wrote a really moving poem about her experience.

your conscious movements have already been planned by your brain milliseconds before you decided to make them :)

they had people make random arm movements and report when exactly they decided to make them, all while recording their brain activity

i think this says some really neat stuff about how we view consciousness. esp in joint with the fact that damaging certain areas of your brain can change your personality fundamentally

nvm so I did finish the second half lmao

they pining 🙄🤢

btw can James wear lipstick more pls.. he's so...

if I get a content label for this completely non explicit art, I'm suing Tumblr

"How can you say Sirius was best friend with Lily- he didn't even mention her!"

All I need to know is Lily's letter. Thank you.

its me and my adhd insomnia against the two am “the reason im not already successful and never will be is because i am simply not determined or strong enough to make my goals reality, so to rectify that i should immediately write and query a novel before dawn”

remus talking about lily was a movie addition!! anyway lilypad friendship supremacy

reminder that it's sirius who lily canonically sent a letter to when she was in hiding. it's sirius who lily called padfoot. it's sirius who was the godfather of her son. it's sirius who she trusted her child's life to. it's sirius who she wanted as secret-keeper. not remus "number one james fan" lupin. if either of the two was lily's best friend, it was most definitely sirius, who was litr described as jily's best friend multiple times !!

that quote honestly helped me immensely when my dog died a month ago

you can’t take loved away

the universe can take away someone, but it can’t can’t erase their existence. whats done is done.

I know I just made a post about it, but "You can't take loved away," fucks me up SO bad. Nona, who's known that she's dying for ages, facing the fact that regaining her memories is a form of dying that she hasn't prepared for. Nona, who isn't afraid of dying but is so, so scared of becoming someone who doesn't love Camilla, Palamedes, and Pyrrha. Nona, who is love - deep, vibrant, endless love, for the whole world but especially for her family. "I won't love anything... I won't know how."

And Paul. Paul, who's already done the thing Nona is afraid, or at least a version of it. Two people who Nona loved more than anything in the world died and became Paul, and Paul both is and isn't Camilla and Palamedes. Paul, who regardless of whether they are or aren't the people Nona loved, loves Nona. Paul tells her, "Camilla and Palamedes were loved by Nona. Pyrrha was loved by Nona. It's finished, it's done. You can't take loved away. We loved you too. Palamades and Camilla loved you."

And I'm just supposed to be okay after that.
