“and I say ‘him’ because let’s be honest: dudes do this. dudes are this stuffy and pretentious” - my late romanticism professor
also:
- “welcome to class! have you thought about your own death yet today?”
- “I brought cupcakes and macaroons, but I want to clarify that I have done it to make a rhetorical point. but also because they’re delicious.”
- “so if you look at the kind of history we talk about, it turns out it’s mostly just white men killing one another and then never shutting up about it.”
- “doesn’t that sound great? decomposing to become one with nature?”
- “more snake women today! keats might have had a fetish.”
- “it’s a horror story, but the horror is capitalistic exploitation. do you know who made the clothes you’re wearing? no? well, keats is disappointed with you.”
- “ rejecting the societal expectation of monogamous romantic marriage and going with polyamory is a-ok. super cool. jazzy.”

Went down to Persephone Books today and I’m definitely going back before I leave.

Calm and quiet Sundays 😌💕
Albus Severus Potter boarded the Hogwarts Express at King’s Cross today. The epilogue is complete.
September 1st
The Hogwarts Express departs at 11 o’clock from Platform 9 and ¾ at King’s Cross Station to transport students to Hogwarts.
Today in Fictional History: the Epilogue that took place “19 years later” in the Harry Potter series happened this very morning as Albus Severus Potter, despite his atrocious name, boarded the Hogwarts Express of the first time and all was well. Below I reblogged my friend Mel’s post because she worded it ever so perfectly. ❤⚡ #HarryPotter #epilogue #jkrowling #allwaswell #19yearslater #Hogwarts #hogwartsexpress #albusseveruspotter #fictionalhistory #art #fanart ・・・ #Repost @melzapels (@get_repost) You know I gotta post a Harry Potter post on this bittersweet day. The timeline of Harry Potter has officially ended but my love for this story will go on forever. “the ones that love us never really leave us” credit goes to @eaumohtz for this fantastic picture!!
All was well.
Just a family portrait before leaving the house :)

And this was how I discovered Heath Robinson as a boy. His illustrations for The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestorm, by Norman Hunter.
I can’t stop
since Harry Potter is set in the 90s I refuse to believe they don’t wear anything else besides this
