#love is the most powerful magic

[batwingsrosa]

Life lessons different Harry Potter characters have taught me:

Harry James Potter taught me to always look for the best in people and to try to be forgiving and kind to others.

He taught me to show empathy to others and that hard work pays off.

Severus Snape taught me that it doesn‘t matter what you look like on the outside. What matters is your character. He taught me that loyalty is one of the greatest values and that true love is everlasting.

He taught me to be confident in myself and my abilities and to be ambitious in all i do.

He taught me the meaning of resiliance, bravery and sacrifice.

Albus Dumbledore taught me that you should always remember to turn on a light even in the darkest of times.

He and Lily Potter taught me that love is the strongest and most powerful feeling in the world.

It‘s the most powerful form of magic.

Luna Lovegood and Nymphadora Tonks taught me to always be myself, even when others shun me for it. There is no shame in being who you are. Don‘t let others dim your light;)

Remus Lupin taught me to be patient and to try to give my knowledge to the next generation. He taught me that my illness doesn‘t define me.

Hermione Granger taught me the importance of knowledge in life or death situations- and to always be eager to learn and aquire new skills.

Ron Weasly taught me that a true friend is oftentimes hard to find but never replacable.

He taught me the value of friendship.

Minerva McGonnagal taught me that‘s important to be organized and disciplined in all i do. She taught me the importance of taking responsibility for my own actions.

Neville Longbottom taught me that i can decide on the direction my life takes and how important it is to stand up for myself. Neville taught me that even those of us who started small can become a great human being. He taught me the meaning of true bravery.

Rubeus Hagrid taught me that all life is valuable. And therefore you should always try to be kind to every living creature. No matter how small or insignificant they seem.

Hedwig taught me that friendship can take many forms and she and Dobby taught me that the smallest beings can be the most loyal.

Fred and George Weasly taught me to believe in my dreams and always try to put a smile on other peoples faces. They taught me the importance of humour in my life.

Ginny Weasly taught me that there is no shame in being a woman.

True strength comes from the inside.

And the fire inside you can never be extinguished.

Today's polish is SO different. I am very curious to hear what you all think of this one. 👀 I've heard about "ghostly" polishes for a little while, but this is my first time trying one. Straight on it looks very ethereal and shimmery, but at an angle it almost completely disappears! The video is a pretty accurate representation of this polish. This is Love is the Most Powerful Magic from Bees Knees Lacquer.

#nail polish 80 #manicure #bees knees #love is the most powerful magic #blue #shimmer #ghostly #i think i really like this one! #i want to know what your opinions are too though! #cool? weird? not enough color? #tell me what you think 👀👀👀 #this was three coats of polish btw lol

Albus values love more than anything because he knows what it can do and how powerful it is. He doesn't think about all the bad stuff, how it broke him. He remembers how it saved him. The happiness it gave him back in 1899. That's why he still believes in love. He chooses to see the positives and he wants others to experience them too. For Albus, not being able to feel that kind of happiness is the worst thing than can happen to someone.

"Do not pity the dead, Harry, pity the living. And above all, those who live without love."

C'MON TO THE THEATER!

I love these guys so much. forget NRC, I want to attend their terrible disaster school for disaster children that might actually be plastered on top of the smoking remains of an actively sinking ship. I may or may not actually learn anything, but I will have the time of my life.

So if you follow me (and aren't just stopping by because you saw one of my funney viralposts), you probably know that I've been writing a bunch of fanfiction for Stranger Things, which is set in rural Indiana in the early- to mid-eighties. I've been working on an AU where (among other things) Robin, a character confirmed queer in canon, gets integrated into a friend group made up of a number of main characters. And I got a comment that has been following me around in the back of my mind for a while. Amidst fairly usual talk about the show and the AU and what happens next, the commenter asked, apparently in genuine confusion, "why wouldn't Robin just come out to the rest of the group yet? They would be okay with it."

I did kind of assume, for a second or two, that this was a classic case of somebody confusing what the character knows with what the author/audience knows. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like it embodies a real generational shift in thinking that I hadn't even managed to fully comprehend until this comment threw it into sharp perspective.

Because, my knee-jerk reaction was to reply to the comment, "She hasn't come out to these people she's only sort-of known for less than a year because it's rural Indiana. In the nineteen-eighties." and let that speak for itself. Because for me and my peers, that would speak for itself. That would be an easy and obvious leap of logic. Because I grew up in a world where you assumed, until proven otherwise, that the general society and everyone around you was homophobic. That it was unsafe to be known to be queer, and to deliberately out yourself required intention and forethought and courage, because you would get negative reactions and you had to be prepared for the fallout. Not from everybody! There were always exceptions! But they were exceptions. And this wasn't something you consciously decided, it wasn't an individual choice, it wasn't an individual response to trauma, it wasn't individual. It was everybody. It was baked in, and you didn't question it because it was so inherently, demonstrably obvious. It was Just The Way The World Is. Everybody can safely be assumed to be homophobic until proven otherwise.

And what this comment really clarified for me, but I've seen in a million tiny clashing assumptions and disconnects and confusions I've run into with The Kids These Days, is that a lot of them have grown up into a world that is...the opposite. There are a lot of queer kids out there who are assuming, by default, that everybody is not homophobic, until proven otherwise. And by and large, the world is not punishing them harshly for making that assumption, the way it once would have.

The whole entire world I knew changed, somehow, very slowly and then all at once. And yes, it does make me feel like a complete space alien just arrived to Earth some days. But also, it makes me feel very hopeful. This is what we wanted for ourselves when we were young and raw and angrily shoving ourselves in everyone's faces to dare them to prove themselves the exception, and this is what I want for The Kids These Days.

(But also please, please, Kids These Days, do try to remember that it has only been this way since extremely recently, and no it is not crazy or pathetic or irrational or whatever to still want to protect yourself and be choosy about who you share important parts of yourself with.)

#also Kids These Days please if nobody's told you: you can't send cheques through email #and if somebody sends you one through email They Are A Scammer and Yes They Are Scamming You #that's not related I just am constantly tearing my hair out about how many people of ALL AGES don't know that #something something something invoking the fuck word in the hopes it will keep this poast from search #i love how the internet has created Magic Words Of Power #unfortunately most of those words perform the action of 'summon jackass idiots to comment on your post' #i am paraphrasing the comment that was left on my AU fic because I am too lazy to go looking for it right now but #it was very similar to that wording #this is just a thing that has been rattling around in my brain and it was finally smoothed out and polished enough to come out

[introspectivememories]

been watching mashle and oh my god, the eugenics???? the way lance's parents were so ready to give up their daughter??? no second thought???? just "why did this child have to be born to us?"???? um everyone talking in mash's face about how non-magic people are inherently worthless???? the triple line dude fucking making dolls out of people and somehow no one??? is??? checking him???? and then when questioned immediately jumping into "well humans are little more than mindless beasts and i will become a creator deity and reshape the world in my liking!"????? the, um, corruption in the government??? the way this story is so clearly "h*rry p*tter if it was actually funny"??? the slytherin coded characters are blood purists???? they took out hufflepuff??? one of the magia lupus' mage's powerset was just big shuriken???? another one is rip off kisame???? lance is a siscon and the first thing mash says is "that doesn't make it better"???? lemon is genuinely so fuckin funny??? dot is incel-coded but like in a funny way??? dot says that lance is playing life on "easy mode" cause lance has a good face??? dot likes tea??? dot has good manners??? everybody only has one spell they can use??? finn ames is like if you transported is regular human into this stupid ass world??? i think the old man and the cop have explored each others bodies.

#so many baffling things #the show is genuinely funny tho #mash and lance have something going on and i stg this isn't just me putting my shipping goggles on #also lance is a siscon but like in the most non-weirdest way possible??? like he just doesn't want his baby sis to die #and like yeah the power of her photo is enough for him to fling himself backward into a wall hard enough that it cracks #but he's not like in love with her or whatever. bare minimum victories ig #also when the rap starts it gets sooo hype #not to talk about h*rry p*tter in 2024 but why did they take out hufflepuff?? #that was the only good house #everybody else in that world seem insufferable but hufflepuff seemed like you could get along with them #also they need to stop talking shit about non-magic people in front of mash's face #mashle magic and muscles #mashle #lemon irvine #dot barrett #finn ames #mash burnedead #lance crown

The house of Nightingale & Constantine ( P. 3 )

> previous

.・゜-: ✧ :-

"Why are you avoiding me." Green eyes, sharp and unflinching, locked on Danny.

Startled, he turns to the younger boy, Damian? Bruce's only blood kid, he reminds himself.

"I'm not avoiding you." He denies, shaking his head, eyes trailing off.

But Damian knows, he learned and memorised the movements, signs, and behaviour of human kind.

"Do not lie to me, Nightingale."

The use of the name triggers something, and both Damian and Danny jump back, startled and cautious.

"What's the meaning of this!" The boy demanded, snatching his sword from the hilt.

The other raised his hands, pleading. "Look Damian– put the sword down and let me explain, please?"

They stood in tense silence, the sword pushed down reluctant and swiftly tugged back in.

"Explain."

Danny sighs in relief.

"You're more than aware of your parentage, yes?"

A nod, if not slightly confused. "Wayne?"

"No, al Ghul."

He keeps his facial expression and body language closed, obviously trained, and tilts his head to the Ghost. Listening, assessing.

Danny swallows as the air takes on sparks, dangerously close to one another.

If only Dick was in the mansion, maybe he'd cut the air with a knife followed by laughter and help him escape.

"The al Ghul line is in a delicate balance that can be toppled any time," he explains. "it's an old house, new compared to the houses of ancient, but powerful."

"You're saying," Damian drawls, carefully placing the words to form the sentence. "that the line of Al Ghul is... magic." He is studying the older, eyes narrowed and focused.

He knew such accusation would be called ridiculous by the younger. It would definitely earn him a few attempted kills.

"Not all dark houses are magic, just magic adjusted. The reason al Ghul is where it is today is that the founder, your grandfather, is still alive."

"You're aware such claims would have your head."

A wince.

"Fine." Damian scoffs. "We will go back to that after, tell me of the name triggering then."

"Names have power, but family names are more powerful, especially those of dark houses. If another dark house calls—"

"It registers as a warning and summoning." He finished, unfazed at the owlish blinks received.

"You were taught."

"I was, you're right, the al Ghuls are not magic. I haven't taken it seriously back then, I now see the error of my actions." The boy simply states, arms crossed.

"Calling another house of dark by name and immediately pulling a weapon is a declaration of challenge." Dannt adds after a moment of quiet. "I would rather not fight and make an enemy here."

"Not an enemy, but neither an ally?" Is quickly thrown back.

The Nightingale shrugs. "I'm not fond of your grandfather," he admits. "but it's known that every generation changes the house, I would not mind being the ally of the al Ghuls, if it meant you did the contract."

"Being an ally to my name only and to the al Ghul if asked." Green eyes, borderline neon, it reminds Danny of the zone. "Bold."

A grin cracks through, and Danny gestures to the door. "We can discuss the terms during snack time, if you wish, al Ghul."

A spark and Damian scowls harder. "Stop that." He says. "Let's do so, Father would be quite pleased knowing I've made more allies."

As he stomps to out, Danny follows with a jump in his steps, very pleased.

Nightingale 1, Constantine 0!

#the house of constanine and the house of nightingale have infinite beef #dcxdp #dpxdc #dp x dc crossover #danny and john have family beef #the house of Nightingale and the line of al Ghul under Damians name have become allies #the line of al Ghul is a house of dark #danny and damian are gonna be besties in the most posh and annoying eay #way* sorry #i love these guys man and this story #oh!!! chapter 1 of the official story is in the making!!!! #why WOULDNT damian help danny by beating an older man and gain benefits from it? #the al Ghuls are not magic but gather power from a parallel dimension that is in fact the ghost realm #they have a patron ancient that i will be creaitng half assed and hope for the best #WORLD BUILDING

honestly one of my fav things that isn’t ever talked about with Kusuo is that he is honestly when you actually examine him, a pretty normal teenager. He’s insecure, he cares a lot about his mom and is scared of making her mad, he gets invested in other peoples drama, he dislikes PE, he hates being spoiled for things, he has an embarrassing crush that his friends judge him for, he has an awkward relationship with his dad and fights with his brother, he wants to be protected.

Like underneath all the unfamiliar stuff, he is honestly Just Some Guy.

#saiki k #this is the conclusion I have reached #This is also what’s sad about him #Personality wise stripped down to his barest components he’s nothing special #Just a normal teenager. Somewhat introverted maybe but…like that’s normal too #But he’s been born into this awful position of like. basically godhood. Something he never wanted. #Which affects literally everything he does #but like he was always under all that a normal kid #His powers didn’t make him magically more anything #Most of the weirder things about him are just the way any normal person would react to being born with those powers #He reacts normally to everything that gets thrown upon him #Idk I really love the way he was written I’d like to shake Shuuichi Asous hand one day

When I put today's polish over black I couldn't believe how pretty it was!!! 🤯 I did it from left to right in one, two, and three coats. I think I like just one coat the best! I saw this polish swatched by a couple YouTubers before I bought it. None of them had swatched it as a topper and now I'm wondering why. I will have to try this combo on my nails SOON. Thanks for convincing me to try this @muddyclump !!!

#nail polish 80 #part 2 lol #Tumblr wouldnt let me upload a video as part of my reblog so i had to make a new post 🫤 #anyway i freaking love this #bees knees #love is the most powerful magic #blue #shimmer #topper #i have to put this on my nails

Pretty wild that Marcy loved and treasured Hambo for a thousand years because it reminded her of her beloved caretaker. She sacrificed that beloved toy as a last request to a temporarily restored Simon which resulted in Betty coming to the future. Betty's actions would go to have great impact to Ooo, including finding a way to rescue Simon from the crown.

I wonder if Marcy ever thinks about how she traded a memento of Simon for the real thing.

#adventure time #im trying (and failing to write but its put me in an interesting mood) #we know from sky witch Hambo had major magical juju saved up from all the love and care marcy put into it #That love resulted (rather indirectly) in Simon being returned to her #If she didn't love/preserve Hambo or if Simon had never decided to contact Betty as his last goodbye #he either would have died as himself five minutes later or been Ice King forever #Betty was the catalyst for saving Simon and that ONLY happened bc Marcy loved her memento of him #like fuck Marcy and Betty's combined love pulled Simon from depths of the most powerful wish magic #for a kids show its so impactful and so centered around love and support
