Most corporate social media accounts use memes to try and appear hip with the kids so they’ll buy their product but the Sparknotes twitter account is clearly just run by a literature geek who was told they could make memes about old books and is having the time of their life doing just that
Oh! Oh! You cherrypick canon? You treat canon like the smorgasbord? Jail! Jail for Author for one thousand years!

so it was probably inappropriate that my first thought on seeing this man wasn’t “PRINCE QI OF MY HEART” and WAS “so if Henry Cavill and Xiao Zhan had a baby-”
questions I have about the accio spell in Harry Potter:
what limitations are there on it and how much does intent matter? Can you only summon things that are yours? Does the spell KNOW you’re only summoning, say, your firebolt and not one from the local quidditch store? Are there protections you can put in place against other people accio-ing your stuff? How specific do you have to be for it to know exactly what you’re talking about?
Questions brought to you by losing a set of tiny screwdrivers I use to mend my glasses, wishing I could just fucking accio them, then realising that ‘accio screwdriver’ might well bring me the veritable horde of screwdrivers I’ve somehow accumulated during my life, and ‘accio that set of tiny screwdrivers I got in a cracker one time’ doesn’t have quite the same snap.
Now I have many questions about a spell in a series of books I haven’t read for ten years, and STILL no screwdrivers.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SCOTTISH PARROT
IM LOSING IT OVER THIS
I have never heard a parrot with a Scottish accent
i’m reading a very manly 1950s account of a hunt for el dorado but i’m thirty pages in and the narrator has already described his traveling companion as “handsome” 4 times, “extremely handsome” twice, “exceedingly handsome” once, his voice as “quietly husky” and “a husky whisper,” his fingers as long and deft, his body as “tall and cat-like,” and his eyes as some variation of ice-blue at least three times.
just men being dudes. dudes being pals. it’s great. this is great.
“Ever since he had aimed that gun at my throat, I had liked him immensely. And now I liked him even better.”
oh my god
“I awoke when a beam of light fell across my eyes. Jorge had come into my room carrying a lighted candle.
‘I’m going with you,’ he said quietly.
‘I can’t pay you.’
He smiled. ‘I thought I was a partner?’”
OH MY GOD
according to apparently every adaptation of a search of el dorado, i think we can conclude that maybe the real el dorado was the homosexuality we found along the way
#i’m adopting this as a term for someone working to understand their sexual orientation #‘oh megan dated dudes exclusively in college but these days i hear she’s on the road to el dorado' ( @buetterfliege )

hey hey you you i don’t like your fun fact
No way No way I think you need to stop that
Why would you hide that in the notes
I hate that people keep insisting that Kristen Stewart is a lesbian even though she’s flat out said she’s bisexual, that she sees sexuality as grey and fluid, that she’s not strictly homosexual or heterosexual, and that she would definitely date a guy again; like the list goes on. I think it’s the fact that she’s also so visibly gnc and people still can’t concieve that bisexuality isn’t just gay lite? Like as much as she may “look” like a lesbian, she’s a gnc bi woman and I think it’s cool that there’s that kind of rep bc a lot of the bi women the media puts in the spot light are mostly high fem. That doesn’t mean that rep is meaningless but I can count on one hand the amount of andro/masc leaning bi women that are in the public eye.
I also know the other reason why a lot of people keep labeling her as a lesbian is because she’s visibly only been dating women recently, but you don’t have to switch the gender of your s/o every other month to prove you’re still bi like. That’s elementary basics of bisexuality. Especially if said person in question, again, has stated several times that they’re not a lesbian or straight… 🤔
It’s almost like there’s a history (Freddie Mercury) of people (David Bowie) ignoring when people (Megan Fox) say they’re bisexual (Katharine Hepburn), and talking about them (Chuck Tingle) as if they’re definitely gay (Cynthia Nixon) or definitely (Lady Gaga) straight.
Let’s not forget this classic.

Your definition is sadly near the truth, sir.
An Art Nouveau jewel: The Winter Garden, Malinas, Belgium
We have no idea what led Ursuline nuns in Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver to make the bold decision to build this magnificent building. The magnificent glass dome shows the main characteristics of this decorative movement.
