Seriously, do you realize how aesthetically pleasing the common room is?
I mean, like the blues and bronze made you feel like freakin’ royalty once you walk in
the most musical of the the common rooms - there’s soft sound of choir singing because of the magic, and the blue hues really calms you down REAL fast
I am 100% SURE that there’s AROMATHERAPY going on inside the common room:
Keep reading
Ravenclaw: Reading in the common room into the late night when the wind is whistling around the tower, earl grey tea, vanilla scented candles, midday naps by an open window, admiring the view of the changing trees from Ravenclaw tower, study sessions in the library on rainy days
Slytherin: Cob webs in the common room, the lake rapping hard against the windows on especially windy days, hot coffee, late night studying, the softest and coziest robes, spearmint candles, waking early and seeing frost on the ground
Gryffindor: Pumpkin carving contests, sitting by the fireplace telling stories, woodsy and musk scented candles, staying up too late with friends in the common room, evening adventures testing limits near the Forbidden Forest and Great Lake, hot chocolate, wearing their red and gold house colors more proudly than ever
Hufflepuff: strolling through the grounds on sunny yet chilly early autumn days, always being the last table to leave the Great Hall after dinner because of the enjoyment of good food and friends, pumpkin scented candles, chai tea lattes, adding a cozy blanket from home to their dormitory beds, opening windows to enjoy the breeze and smell of the earth during fall

"You know, love doesn't mean "l never want you to change." But I don't think it means "I don't care if you change" either. So I suppose it might mean, "I believe that you'll always be the person I adore." A declaration of faith, perhaps."

Encanto really said your existence alone is a gift and valuable completely detached from what you can contribute to the world and just because you can carry a burden doesn't mean you should have to and I'm definitely crying over it
Every once in a while, a Ravenclaw uses the same spell that’s in the Great Hall to make the ceiling in their common room mimic the weather outside. Most of them find it calming, especially when it’s raining.
funny thing is...
this is actually the plot of a TV commercial
Prompt idea:
Person A and Person B are in a long distance relationship. They have to fly to see each other, but flights are expensive, so they don't get to very often, or maybe they haven't met yet.
Person A finally gets enough money to surprise B with a visit. They plan it all out and don't plan on telling them until they're standing outside their door. It will be the best surprise ever.
Or at least it would be, if B hadn't had the exact same idea and when A calls to ask why B isn't answering their door, B is sitting in the rental car outside A's house.
Why dont you go watch a studio ghibli movie and think about the power of love and kindness and maybe you'll calm down
