What’s REALLY Inside The Ravenclaw Common Room

reading alone in your room at sunset with your windows open while the wind caresses your skin is probably the closest thing we have to a cure for the human condition

Being a fan of TBHK is honestly a dream come true because it feels like we're being constantly bombarded with high-quality official content. Like the main series' art and story are already so fleshed out and polished but would you like some more commemorative artwork? Twitter events? AUs? I've never felt so pampered. Like you can feel the passion and care the team has for their series and characters and its so refreshing. We're so blessed, I'm so blessed. Thank you, AidaIro.

illegible handwriting, coffee rings on notebooks, putting gloves on only to take them off again, dark lipstick, maurice (1987), walking to class when it’s not raining enough for an umbrella but just enough to fog up your glasses, stone buildings, leaves that aren’t quite crunchy, deadlines, pen smudges, leaving class only to find out its dark outside, cinnamon, cold noses, swaying trees, half moons, cuffed sleeves, silence 

DRAMATIC?? WHO, ME???

says Raskolnikov as he murders two women, teases the investigators to death and then smashes his confession in their faces like some belle dame throws away her glove so her idiotic worshippers can kill each other for it
