if the most popular characters from anime were trying to drag you into their world
Mustang might be The Flame Alchemist but Hawkeye had the biggest burn
(FMA: Brotherhood episode 53)
I love how in the beginning of FMAB the Philosopher’s Stone is perceived as a such a hard-to-find mythical thing, and then near the end it’s like “oh I just remembered I have a Philosopher’s Stone in my pocket” “what’s that lying on the floor?” “oh it’s a Philosopher’s Stone” “so who’s that bearded man with golden hair again?” “oh he’s a Philosopher’s Stone”
I like the little things that no many people really see. Like that guy that sell necklaces in the street and everyone passes him. Yeah, I like that guy. I like the work that he puts in making those necklaces, the way those peaces are placed, the look in his eyes when I stop to buy one and I end up buying ten.
There’s a song that’s been proven to reduce anxiety by 65%. It’s called Weightless by Macaroni Union, and it was specifically designed to slow your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and lower cortisol levels. It’s so effective that it’s dangerous to drive while listening to it because it can make you drowsy. Source Source 2 Source 3
YO O_O
I knew within seconds that I’d heard this before.
Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay. Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm. Dr David Lewis, one of the UK’s leading stress specialists said: “‘Weightless’ induced the greatest relaxation – higher than any of the other music tested. Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.” The study - commissioned by bubble bath and shower gel firm Radox Spa - found the song was even more relaxing than a massage, walk or cup of tea. So relaxing is the tune, apparently, that people are being Rex advised against listening to it while driving. The top 10 most relaxing tunes were: 1. Marconi Union - Weightless 2. Airstream - Electra 3. DJ Shah - Mellomaniac (Chill Out Mix) 4. Enya - Watermark 5. Coldplay - Strawberry Swing 6. Barcelona - Please Don’t Go 7. All Saints - Pure Shores 8. AdelevSomeone Like You 9. Mozart - Canzonetta Sull’aria 10. Cafe Del Mar - We Can Fly
One of the comments suggests pairing it with Rainymood.
The combined calm might be weaponized with adding this song and some crackling fire.
This song fucks with my anxiety lmao
Burr: What’s wrong, James? Why are you crying?
Madison: *hugs him*
Burr: Are you okay? Did someone make you cry? Who is it? I’ll go talk to them if you want me to.
Jefferson: *burst through the wall* WHERE ARE THEY?! I’LL FUCKING KILL THEM!
Alexander: Hey, I bought your soul last month and-
Burr: No returns.
Alexander: Please, it’s making me sad.

She was going to kill him. All that patience for nothing, it seems, because now she was really going to kill him. James Potter, you better prepare yourself, now you are not going away with this.

‘That… was… BRILLIANT, PRONGS!’ Sirius said, laughing his heart out.
‘It was reckless. And stupid, for that matter.’ said Remus, without raising his eyes from the book he obviously wasn’t reading anymore.
‘Shut up, Moony! It was bloody brilliant. Genius, if I can say… And I can’ Sirius says, putting his hands on his shoulders. ‘Evans is going to kill you!’ He starts laughing again.
‘This is what I’m afraid of…’ says James, looking over his shoulder, hoping the redhead wasn’t coming right now.
‘HEY! DUMBASS! Don’t tell me you are afraid of that little screaming girl.’
‘I would be, if I was you.’ says Remus.
‘Oh, give me a break, Moony!’
‘Have you seen her face? This time, she will kill him. And not only him. He will kill all of us!’
‘Shut it, Lupin! You didn’t even do anything!’ Sirius says revolted.
‘I know, but I have made the stupid decision to be your friend, and this is enough. She will kill us. This was over the edge. Like, seriously, what were you thinking??’
‘Oi, Prongs, mate! Are you okay? Why are you… so pale? Are you sick?’
‘I’m perfect, Padfoot. Just leave it. Let’s go until she finds us.’

Yeah, we get it. Everyone is scared of the redhear girl who was pissed off. More than usual. But… Why? What did they do this time? What could be that bad that made the Head Girl so furious, how she was never in seven years. What did Potter do to her?

That awkward moment when someone ask me who's my favourite character from Harry Potter and I have to stop myself from saying someone from the Marauders era, because this will show how much time I spend reading fanfiction and posts from their time...
