I have this weird theory that some people are drawn to each other because their atoms were near each other when the universe was created and over time the same atoms keep coming back together

My new meds make my skin throw a fit. It’s not terribly bad, just a few things here and there, but it’s bumming me out because I’ve never really had too many run-ins with acne.

My four-year-old sister, however, is under the impression that it’s just “3D freckles”, and that they look very, very pretty. She wants all of my freckles to “pop out”, especially the ones across my nose; they’re her favourite.

And it puts me in this weird position where I can’t say, “No, this is acne, and it’s bad,” because I don’t want to teach her that it’s a bad to have unclear skin, you know?

Because the more I think about interactions I have with children, the more I realise that children will consistently compliment “flaws” until they’ve been taught not to.

Like, a kid at the library, whose sister has vitiligo, saw my scars once and suggested that his sister and I should be cats for Halloween, since I have “tabby skin” and she has “calico skin”. “I can be a black cat,” he immediately added. “It’s not AS cool, but they’re the spookiest.”

When I started losing weight, my little brother immediately demanded that I gain it back, because I wasn’t as comfortable to cuddle with anymore.

And my other little sister always wants to wear her paint-stained clothes to school so that “everyone can tell [she’s] an artist”.

I don’t know. I guess talking to little kids just reminds me that all of this superficial shit we worry about really is 100% made up.

Reasons I think the HP fandom should talk about Viktor Krum more:

  • He was an internationally famous Quidditch player but showed like zero signs of being a conceited ass about it.
  • He was an internationally famous Quidditch player but was still in school, showing he probably still valued his education, plus he was a good enough wizard to be chosen as the Durmstrang champion by the goblet of fire.
  • He was an internationally famous Quidditch player with lots of fangirls, but hung around the library for ages trying to work up the courage to ask Hermione Granger to the Yule Ball, and I think that’s adorable.
  • He didn’t behave like an asshole dudebro when Hermione wasn’t interested in dating him.
  • Hermione was also used as the person he would miss the most in the second task, and I think that says less about Hermione than the people around Viktor Krum.  We know he had parents.  We know he had teammates.  But none of those relationships were apparently more healthy or comforting than this nice girl he had just met at Hogwarts, and that makes me sad.
  • He had zero patience for Dark Arts and Dark wizards, even though he went to a school that emphasized both of those things.
  • He stayed on good enough terms with Fleur that he was invited to her wedding.
  • His problem solving method once included partially turning himself into a shark.  A shark.
