I Prefer A Small Circle Of Close Friends To Lots Of Acquaintances.

Humans tend to live in fear of the things they can’t control. Falling in love, falling out of love, death. Maybe that’s why I smoke. I smoke so I can finally control something in my life. Maybe I smoke so the only person choosing my murder weapon is me.

excerpt from a book I’ll never write #16 (via @hxmesixk)

One day I heard some guy tell this girl in my class that her gums stuck out too much when she smiled, so she started covering her mouth every time someone cracked a joke or laughed with her. And I knew a boy in my English class who would always get excited over the tiniest of things, then say sorry afterwards. He’d actually apologize for being over-enthusiastic. This was probably because of the weird looks people would give him when he boasted about his favorite books or movies. He actually thought his passions were silly. Another time, I was at my best friend’s house. We were trying on clothes, and I threw a crop top of mine for her to wear. She told me she couldn’t wear it because her belly would stick out, and she wouldn’t want people staring or making rude comments. It was only later I found out about the nights she’d spend with two fingers down her throat. Then a distant friend of mine had this boyfriend who constantly criticized her. He never liked her hair up, so she always wore it to her shoulders. He didn’t like her in skirts or shorts, so she always dressed down. And when he thought her friends were too opinionated, she soon grew distant from me as well. When he eventually left, she had completely lost who she was. And once upon a time I fell in love with a boy who was afraid to cry because his whole life he was told that it made him weak. So day by day he’d let his problems eat away at him until eventually it consumed everything he was. What I’m trying to say is, be careful of your words. These might be small instances, but the biggest issues are usually hidden beneath a million smaller ones. Everyone is struggling in little ways. Be kind.

Can we talk about dad Draco?

A lot of people have been talking about Albus’ relationship with Harry, but what about Scorpius and Draco? Honestly from what I’ve read about the cursed child (I’m like halfway through) Draco is the best dad. Can you just imagine:

- when Scorpius is born, Draco promising he’ll try his best and insisting he’s the most beautiful baby he’s ever seen - Draco always willing to wake up all the times baby Scorp cries and spends hours cooing and rocking him. Even spending nights sleeping in on the couch with Scorpius on his chest - Draco teaching him an instrument - Draco and Astoria making a little concert with their house elves so Scorpius can preform with an audience - Draco feeling happy when the house elves calls Scorpius ‘master sweetie’ because he’s taught his son to be kind to everyone and humble - Draco trying to get Scorpius to make friends with other kids his age so he isn’t lonely - Draco getting heartbroken when the kids call Scorpius Voldemort’s son - Draco constantly fighting with he ministry to stop the rumours because it hurts him to see Scorpius cries - Draco being extremely worried when Scorpius goes to Hogwarts because he doesn’t want him bullied - Draco pining the first letter from Scorpius that says he’s made a friend even though he’s a Potter - Draco insisting Scorpius to invite Albus to spend the break with them - Draco making sure everything is perfect when the Potters let Albus stay over - Draco telling the boys cool stories about anything they want while making them hot cocoa - Draco tucking them both in and wishing them sweet dreams - Draco not only being there for Scorpius but being there for Albus because he knows what it’s like to feel like to not live up to your parents expectations -Draco literally knowing everything about Scorpius because his son trusts him - Draco and Scorpius bonding time is sitting in Draco’s office, with Scorpius’ feet on Draco’s lap reading in silence. Occasionally sharing lines in their books they find interesting/funny - When Astoria falls ill, Draco makes sure she and Scorpius spends everyday of the summer together - when she dies, Draco holds his son all night as he cries promising that they can get through this - Draco never crying in front of his son because he just knows how hard it is for his son to loose his mother - Draco taking Scorpius somewhere cool for Christmas so they don’t have to realize that it’s their first Christmas without Astoria - EVERYTHING HE DOES AND SAYS IN CURSED CHILD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH - Draco reminding Scorpius that no matter what he’s always there for him

SUPPORTIVE DAD DRACO IS MY FAVOURITE DRACO. HE DESERVES THE FATHER OF THE YEAR AWARD I SWEAR

What fetishes are you into, if any?

Aw, this is cute.

I love the way your eyes start to twinkle when you talk about something you love. I love the way that you run your hands through your hair even though every stray hair is perfectly in place and the way your birthmarks and freckles trace up and down your neck and disappear just beneath the collar of your shirt .
