Are You More Razumikhin "goes A Whole Winter Without Lighting His Stove, Says He Sleeps More Soundly

you know what my perfect gift would be? an annotated copy of your favourite book. i don’t just mean a couple of tabs, i mean annotated. i mean highlighted to the ends of the earth, pages black with scribbled annotations, entire pages underlined and captioned ‘THIS’. i want to see tear stains on the pages, corners bent from when you threw it across the room, spine broken because you were too absorbed in the story to care. i want paragraphs of you yelling at characters, i want your witty remarks and sarcastic comments, i want your little doodles in the margins. because then you’re not just giving me a book. you’re giving me a little piece of yourself, and i think that’s the best gift you could give.

“If he has a conscience he will suffer for his mistake. That will be the punishment, as well as the prison.”

Ravenclaw Headcanon

Ravenclaws have their own mini library in their common room. It’s just a small bookshelf, but it manages to always have the perfect book on hand for whatever each Ravenclaw needs.

Houses as types of friends

Gryffindor: the adventurous friend. Shouting I love you across the classroom. "Are we there yet?". Midnight snacks. Wanting to pull all nighters but being the first to fall asleep. Last minute plans. Being ready for anything. Wanting to be with your friends 24/7.

Slytherin: the friend who loves you so much but shows it differently. Enjoys pulling pranks. Actually pulls an all nighter. Always steals the blanket and blames it on someone else. The friend who either takes 0.2 seconds or 3 hours to reply. "I send you memes because i love you". Will laugh if you fall over then immediately check you're okay. Always wants to make you laugh.

Hufflepuff: the friend who will wait for you to tie your shoelace. Always brings food to sleepovers. "Can we watch a film?". Your favourite feeling is waking up to see your friends around you. Picks up your call no matter what. The friend who hugs you when you're sad and tells you they love you. Will always hang out with you. Wants to feel wanted.

Ravenclaw: the sarcastic yet funny friend. Bursting out random thoughts. "Its 12am already?". The friend who wishes moments never end. Randomly texting friends to listen to the rain or look at the stars. Random i love yous. Passes you notes in class. Always wants to learn new things about you.

Hufflepuff: *trying to study*

Ravenclaw: *zooming across the floor by sliding in their socks*

Hufflepuff: Raven, why aren’t you studying for the test tomorrow?

Ravenclaw: *skidding* theRE’S A TEST TOMORROW??? *crashes into a bookcase*

i already like him.

i think the reason i love studio ghibli as much as i do is because it encompasses everything i love about life. wearing clothes that make you feel young and free that you can run and jump and climb trees in. the sense of peace that only comes from sitting on a train watching scenes move by the in windows, walking through the city at night, reading on a bench. the way there is so much grief and pain and hardship in each movie, and the world being torn apart but in spite of that, there is wholesomeness and warmth in bowls of noodles and dinner with your family and singing loudly without worrying about what your voice sounds like, and if you love someone enough it doesn’t matter that the world is falling apart around you. it’s about romanticising the little things in life, the hot mug of tea, that moment in the streetlight in the rain, the sunrise looking pretty through your little window; and it’s about the quiet, soft, warm moments you share with other people through those. those the things i cling onto in life, the small moments of joy that make life worth living.

European Portuguese sounds like drunk Brazilian Portuguese

If I could live forever and not worry about anything or anyone I would simply learn everything there was to learn about the world. I would attend random classes and study everyday about different subjects. I'd learn architecture and anatomy and astronomy and learn all the languages I could. I would study geography and herbology. I would write novels about everything I've learnt and pass my knowledge onto the future generations.

"And I pray one prayer--I repeat it till my tongue stiffens--Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you--haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!"

-Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
