Give Me Pretentious Characters With A Questionable Moral Compass Or Give Me Death 

Fuck this. I’m gonna just frequent a cafe and sit by the window with a classic, whose title wouldn’t appear on the cover page, and sip my coffee looking outside until I bewitch someone body and soul by my mysterious aura.

hogwarts houses as halloween aesthetics

gryffindor: haunted houses, pranks, drunk on sugar, face paint, dresses up as the knight in shining armour, pro at halloween games, ‘ghostbusters’, halloween pranks.

hufflepuff: baking treats, pumpkin picking, cute costumes, vanilla candles and pumpkin spice, fairy lights, lanterns, ‘hocus pocus’, campfires, movies under blankets.

ravenclaw: most creative costume, random facts about halloween, ‘buzzfeed unsolved’, pumpkin carving, gothic novels, witches and spells, board games, black cats, halloween puns.

slytherin: midnight trick or treating, graveyards, horror movies, dresses up as dracula, ghosts, fake blood, ‘the shining’, jumpscares.

have we gotten to the point where we can accept that dark academia tumblr is just the classic lit fandom or are we not ready for that yet

When Byron said, The great object of life is sensation- to feel that we exist, even though in pain and when Shelley said, Our sweetest songs are those of saddest thought and when Keats said, Touch has a memory

idk but when i discover new books and music i’m just excited to be alive again. yes a bit dramatic but that’s how i feel when i discover them

Sir please that's my emotional support stack of books that i haven't read

i already like him.

Emily Dickinson, from a letter to Elizabeth Holland (early November 1865)

"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."

@quidditchleaguenet february challenge: favorite locations - ravenclaw team - ravenclaw common room 

i imagine the ravenclaw common room to be the most open of all the common rooms.

what i mean by open is that the ceiling of the tower is full of windows. so during the day, all the natural light comes in, and during the night, you can easily look up and see all the stars.

there is a lot of stargazing every night, and a lot of the ravenclaw students will fall asleep together out in the main area with books in their lap and quills in their hands. 

there is also constant music playing in the background. depending on who settled in the common room first that day, that’s what determines the genre.

some days it is classical, some days it is muggle alternative, and some days it is even rap. 

ravenclaws welcome all different preferences, and there are rarely any arguments regarding the music playing. as long as it is quiet enough in the background for people to study, read, or socialize. 

ravenclaws also do not fear students from other houses finding a way into their common room and solving a riddle, because if they are smart or creative enough to figure it out, they consider that person one of them. 

they welcome all chances for growth and intellectual discussion, and they don’t care who it is. they love to broaden their perspectives. so occasionally throughout the day, some gryffindors, hufflepuffs, or slytherins will pop in and spice things up and to see their friends. they just have to solve the riddle themselves first.

I also see all the wood in the common room being white, which makes it even brighter. 

there would also be dark blue tapestries with bronze and silver constellations etched onto them. 

they would have their own personal library in there organized by genre, and they would have an art center where students could set up canvases and paint/draw. 

in the library, students could trade and swap out books with each other at any time, and in the art area, it was even encouraged that students could paint on the walls there until inspiration came to them.

basically, the ravenclaw common room is a place where ravenclaws are free to completely be themselves. all their eccentricities are accepted, and there is a place in the common room to support all interests.
