You Know When You’re All Negative And You Feel Like Nothing Is Gonna Get Better In Your Life And So

Me: I don't underline and highlight sentences in a book for nothing. I do that to reflect upon the important things and ideas later so I can better understand the core theme of the book and enrich my knowledge and perspective of life.

Also me: *underlines every time a character 'flung himself on to the sofa' in the Picture of Dorian Gray*

*talking about a presentation*

Gryffindor: Are you gonna be nervous?

Ravenclaw: Am I gonna be ner- I’ve been nervous for 19 years.

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.

The Ravenclaw Common Room

(As imagined by me)

Key Points:

*

*Controlled Mess

- Messy areas are better for creativity

- Clean areas are better for studying

- Solution?

Self cleaning clutter, most of the objects in the room, books vases, etc. have the ability to move around. They tiddy themselves up around kids who are cramming for an exam, and hang around students working on their sketchbooks.

*

*Take a Book Leave a Book Library:

- the shelves in the common room have everything from Mockingjay to Kingsley Shacklebolt’s autobiography.

-kids will leave behind their old textbooks for kids who can’t afford them

- there are also some full sketchbooks and aesthetic bullet journals just because kids wanted to share their work with everyone without looking like show offs

- and there are the more sketchy shelves full of folders of student’s essays and notes to be “referenced and repurposed”

- because Ravenclaws get that sometimes you will literally scream if you have to read one more word of that pretentious textbook

- or you hate arthrithmancy and don’t know why you took it and so you’re just going to borrow Jenny’s essay from six years ago and see what happens.

*

*Group Study Areas:

- larger desks and benches, both for a comfortable amount of space for studing alone, and to encorage collaboration.

- two heads are better than one

- but sometimes you just need a lot of space for your eight textbooks and seventeen reference photos and that’s fine too.

*

*Closed Off Beds:

- stained glass canopies that cast beautiful colored light, but that you can’t see into

- folding dividers instead of curtains that are enchanted to be sound proof when latched so that you can sing or scream your heart out

- some much needed privacy in the dorms

- sound proof walls are better than curtains (suck on that Gryffindor)

*

*Most Importantly:

INNOVATION!

-students want a ceiling like in the great hall? They figure the heck out of that enchantment.

- don’t like it anymore the next year? They undo that shit.

Bulletin boards filled with group study sessions

- a magical explosion from someone trying to make up a new spell happens about once a week

- all in all the Ravenclaw common room changes more drastically and more often than any other.

(Imma draw the other common rooms and dorms too, so if you’re a Hufflepuff, Slytherin, or Gryffindor with suggestions for what you would want in your dream common room let me know)

"I'm ready to never talk to anybody ever again."

-A Ravenclaw who has been out of the house several days in a row

Why dont you go watch a studio ghibli movie and think about the power of love and kindness and maybe you'll calm down

watching spirited away for the first time is like… being trapped in the melancholic atmosphere…. the tragic isolation and madness of no face….. feeling the same horrified smallness chihiro does.. the hopelessness of losing her misunderstanding but loving parents…… haku’s quiet betrayal, and the relief of finding out he really was a friend… the curiousity of kamaji’s boiler room, or yubaba’s decorated office…. the hope for lin to make it out of the bath house one day, the wonder of the shaddowy figures on the bus……. the world makes you feel so small and part of a true and rich world that you can only give a brief, passing glance before you must part from it, never knowing but wishing to one day see it again

Ravenclaw Headcanon

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.

dark and gloomy clouds, the quiet before storm, smell of the air right before the first drops fall, open window, cozy unmade bed with bedsheets smelling of cuddles and warmth, soft whispers of ‘i love yous’ and kisses lost in your hair

Do you ever just have a breakdown over the fact that there are too many books to read, too many movies to see, too many poems to memorize, too many plays to watch, too many artworks to stare at and that you will never be able to consume all of it or is that just me
