it’s good to have you with us, even if it’s just for the day...

well, here’s my tribute to the meetup

i don’t really do clip compilations or edits but i had a lot of fun with this! it’s been in the works since around the first halloween stream and i’m pretty happy with how it turned out. (the og video was in 1080p but you can thank tumblr for the 480p version, rip)

it was kind of crazy looking back through almost 5 months worth of vlogs and streams and seeing how far everyone has come. similar to most people, i’m definitely gonna miss the meetup era but i’m very excited to see where everyone’s content goes in the future!

also, credit where credit is due, thank you @loudly--unladylike for the high-five clip that made me want to make this in the first place (i hope you don’t mind being tagged)

I told you I thought about it.

When Clay Jensen said: Life is divided into "Hannah" and "after Hannah"

I don’t think I’ve ever cried more in my life

ok, but downing half a cup of coldish tea is Ravenclaw culture

“What was seven year old Annabeth like?” Percy asked. “I don’t hear much about those years.”

“Well she was like eighteen year old Annabeth on steroids. Very adorable but also very annoying,” Grover replied, fingers tapping against the steering wheel.

“Sounds like nothing’s changed.”

“Hey, now,” Annabeth swatted his arm and he laughed, catching her hand in his.

“Annoying in an endearing way, of course,” Grover quickly amended.

“I can barely handle eighteen year old Annabeth so maybe it’s best I didn't come to camp earlier.”

“Stop bullying me,” she whined, poking her boyfriend’s stomach.

“Oh, so it’s only ok when you two team up on me?” Percy leaned back, arching an eyebrow.

“Yes, I thought that was obvious.”

“So true queen, whatever you say.”

ok but I think all ravenclaws had this unspoken agreement where if someone in their house was struggling they would just make sure that everything was as easy as possible for them. so say they're going through a rough patch with their mental health or their parents have been killed in the war or they've had their heart broken the others will do everything in their power to make sure that nothing else bad happens

like is that your ex over there? no it isn't because would you look at that the staircases have just moved and did I hear you say that you're late to class because I'm pretty sure charms is right over there? yes I'm aware that potions is half way across the school but I'll make it in time! they were ten minutes late to their potions class and received detention but that doesn't matter at all

or they've been triggered into a panic attack but that's ok because I need help with my homework and which year was Beethoven's Symphony No5 preformed again? oh ye, of course? but what I don't get is... they talk for hours and the other student has to stay up later to finish their homework but that doesn't matter at all

and is that 6th year teasing you for crying in class the other day? the one with the pink spiky hair? he didn't look like that before did he? well, who could have done that. they walk off laughing and later the other student gets hexed by that 6th year who can't reverse the charm but that doesn't matter at all

but then they're up at midnight crying in the common room and someone else happens to be coming down for a snack because don't you dare try and tell me that the ravenclaws didn't have a mini kitchen in their common room and they see the struggling person and make cups of tea with their favourite snacks for them and sit and talk. they talk for hours and hours about the person's problems and their interests and stupid questions and meaningful theories until they fall asleep and the other student carries them back up to their dorm and sees their homework for the next day and just sits and does it for them so that they won't have to rush it in the morning. that ravenclaw gets 2 hours of sleep that night but that doesn't matter at all.

ravenclaws being good and selfless people because I will be damned if they are just seen as a house full of clever snobs after the trauma that many of them had to endure

so I have this heartbreaking platonic Blackinnon headcannon set in PoA

so Marlene has a painting at Hogwarts bc she was a quidditch star and when all hell broke loose obviously cuz the paintings in Hogwarts hear and see everything she finds out about what supposedly happened that night at godric's hollow

and she is fuming

I mean she is fucking fuming because they were her best friends. they were his best friends and how fucking dare he betray them like that

and so when she hears he's out of Azkaban and after Harry she is even more angry at him

so we all know Sirius broke into Hogwarts and, just hear me out cuz this is going to hurt, what if he was walking through the corridors of Hogwarts, his first real home, and thinking about the marauders and their time at school when who's painting should he just happen to walk past?

none other than the quidditch painting of Marlene McKinnon and at first he doesn't believe his eyes because he didn't even know this existed but she's right there and I missed her all these years but she's dead

and so he walks up to the painting and she sees him and just explodes because how could he do that to James and Lily????

and he just stands there with tears in his eyes as he realises no one thought he was innocent. everyone, even one of his best friends, thought he had betrayed James and Lily

and he just falls to his knees sobbing his heart out and Marlene just stared at him thinking why is he crying?

and he pulls himself together enough to start telling her the story of what really happened that night at godric's hollow

once she realised it was wormtail, she also breaks down crying because it was all a lie and Sirius is crying again too because he can't comfort her, she's his best friend and he can't comfort her goddamit and for a second he forgets that she's dead and the two friends sit and cry, reminiscing over their days at school and forgetting how much they have missed each other

being a ravenclaw in the 21st century means

making a cup of tea that's way too full but attempting to carry it to your room anyway

failing and spilling it almost eveywhere

either being great with animals or not knowing what to do around them

taking that same cup of tea and putting it next to your leg while you sit in bed

devouring books within 3 days and doing the same for weeks on end but then not touching a book for months until you find a great one to pull you back into it

spilling the tea in your bed but not being sure if it's spilt and convincing yourself it's just the steam from the mug, until you lift it and oh shit the tea is everywhere

secretly loving classical music

always being in and out of reading slumps

reading a book/watching a movie and it becoming your entire personality

totally vibing with dark/writer academia but having a soft spot for the lighter, vintage aesthetics

being overly protective of the notes you make in class

but equally if someone asks for your help with a lesson you are right there to help

already knowing/having a very clear idea of what subjects you want to take and what job you want to do by the time you're in Year 5

knowing exactly how someone is feeling even if they don't know it themselves

caring endlessly for your friends and would die for the right ones

either getting along immediately with people or hating them

hating recieving hugs unless you're in great need of one but loving to give hugs

adoring fictional characters and preferring them to real life people

people are overrated but what I wouldn't do for the right ones

writing all over your hands because your short term memory is horrendous

having about 27 half written books in notebooks and on your phone

getting ideas for books half way through the day and writing them down on random pieces of paper

remembering absolute crap from 6 and a half years ago but not being able to remember what your mum told you yesterday

some quotes will just stick with you

being too stubborn to ask for help

loving the smell of teabags and lavender

ok but like after Sirius ran away he 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 changed his name to Sirius Black-Potter

and then when he married Remus bc 𝘸𝘰𝘭𝘧𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳 he 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 changed his name to Sirus Lupin-Potter bc these people were more his family than his blood relations
