What if the four founders hadn’t happened to have such thematically on-the-nose surnames?
“While you’re here, your house will be like your family. They are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff… and Barry.”
“Um?”
“What? It was one of the most common surnames in Ireland in the 11th century.”
Ten points to Barry.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY ENTIRE LIFEEE

Right so I wanted to write about binding because I think it’ll be useful for those of you who cosplay or are gender variant.
First thing I want to say is DON’T use ace bandages for binding. They are damaging to your body and don’t stretch to allow you to breathe.
Binders look like vests and usually have velcro or bra clips on one side of them. Make sure to get the correct size! You don’t want toharm your body. It’s better to be safe than sorry. For me, I started out by building up to binders. Mainly because I didn’t have one at first to use, but I think it’s important to build up to using binders anyway if you’re planning to wear one everyday or every time you go out somewhere. I started off using what I already had, I got rid of my bras but I kept the non-wire ones. These ones were stretchy, elastic and were perfect for starting off binding. I basically wore one the right way round and then layered a second one on top the wrong way round, and it helped compress my chest using what I already had at home.You can also use this method using sports bras. Then I invested in compression shirts and compression shorts (I got these off amazon). I would put the compression shirt over the elasticated fabric bras and then put the compression shorts on so that the waist band would come over the compression shirt to stop it from riding up, and it also helps to give you more of a masculine figure if you have insecurities about your hips. I then finally got my first binder from MORF through their Binder Scheme. All I had to do was email them that I was interested in seeing their binder catalog since I am a trans* guy and at the time I didn’t own any binders, and they emailed me back with the next month’s binder catalog. I chose a first and second choice for the binders I liked the look of and sent my reply. I then got a response back saying I got my second choice binder, and then I sent the postage cost on paypal. It arrived a few days later in the post, and it felt so good to wear a binder for the first time. My confidence rose a lot from being able to bind properly finally *0* I also invested in another binder from an asian seller on ebay, since I found these really cool binders you can wear as vest tops in summer. But since they were an asian seller, they had asian sizing, which is a lot smaller than our sizing in the UK. I selected an XL and even then I would say it was a small or medium in our UK sizes. So just keep this in mind if you plan on getting one. It’s important to get a binder the right size for you. Where I got the vest top binder - (x) (x) For my binder of this kind, I cut the actual binder out of the top so I could use it with other tops.I really love this binder because it binds really well and makes my chest super flat, which is really great if I don’t fancy wearing a baggy t-shirt and want to wear something tighter. It’s really tight though so you have to be careful not to do anything that might damage your health while wearing it. Picture source (It also has information about binding on the link too) - (x) Can’t afford a binder? You can get one from MORF (a charity that helps gender variant and questioning people) - (x) You can either go to Manchester and pick the binder up from MORF, or pay for just the postage to get it sent to you.
Or contact Aydian Dowling at point5ccclothing@gmail.com and get a binder for nothing more than the cost of shipping.

Female privilege is getting to claim a headache to avoid sex.
Female oppression is having to claim physical illness to avoid sex because men won’t take a simple fucking “no” for an answer.
Female oppression is men being so entitled that they think being denied sex is oppressive.
So I was just thinking about how Voldemort always called Peter Pettigrew Wormtail, and at first I thought it was kind of weird because that was his school nickname, but then I realized something. Every time Peter heard the name Wormtail, he was reminded of his friends and how he betrayed them to Voldemort and how it was his fault that Prongs was dead. And I think Voldemort knew that and intentionally called him Wormtail to taunt him, and it’s little things like that that remind me how deeply evil and torturous Voldemort was.
well these are incredible
