Harry Potter AU in which Fred and George are in different houses and they steal and wear each others ties whilst doing stupid things in hope of the others house losing points

Finally a Fred and George AU that doesn’t make me want to set myself on fire.

oh sure harry could catch the snitch in his first year but not one of the fuckin 5000 letters in the air

I love how Harry just genuinely likes Luna. Not in a romantic way, but in a “I don’t know how or why but I get you and you get me and I’d be honored to call you a friend and if anyone messes with you I’ll wallop them” kind of a way. I think he just marvels at her level of don’t give a fuck and her absolute sense of self. And then he and Ginny partially name their daughter after her (Lily Luna) and that to me is just fucking precious.

You have to at least ship their friendship.

It’s because Luna leaves him alone. Harry feels upset? Luna talks about her newest theory on whatever magical creature she believes exists. He feels down and depressed? Luna distracts him by talking about Amazon river spirits. Luna gives Harry what he needs, in that she reminds him he is not the center of the universe. That’s what he wants. Harry never wanted to be the savior of the Wizarding World. He never wanted any of it, and he hates that his parents died for a prophecy about him, and he hates thinking about his miserable childhood.

Everyone else keeps accidentally reminding Harry of who he has to be.

Luna is so absorbed in knowing she never once cares about his name as a legend. He’s Harry, her nice friend who holds her shoes for her when she wants to walk barefoot in the woods so she doesn’t startle the moss-people.And he never complains about her oddities, like so many people, and she appreciates that.  And for him, she’s Luna, the friend who just needs him to hold her shoes for her. Luna never wants anything from him but for Harry to hold her things and listen to her talk and give his own input to her theories, mad as they might be at times. When Harry is with Luna, it’s always these quiet, content moments. She’s a bit mad, yeah, but she gets him. And he gets her.

Harry will fight anyone who calls her “Loony Lovegood”. Even though she doesn’t care, he does.

Sobs, this is so cute, I love it

When she finally posts a picture that isn’t from the shoulders up and she’s a little chubby.

People who actively love one color are actually adorable. That person who buys bright yellow shirts all the time because she loves yellow? The person who has a whole blog just for pink items? Like it's so adorable.

Oh hell yeah this includes folks who like black. Go off you funky little goths.

steve: so yeah there’s this girl I ignored in high school but she’s really pretty and funny ;) she’s really good at cracking codes ;) and ive really enjoyed being around her all summer ;)

imo every good mcu film centralizes interpersonal relationships and character development. every single one. the winter soldier, black panther and ragnarok are all fundamentally about confrontation/transformation, which is why they are–individually speaking–really good films. steve goes from national hero to criminal overnight, goes from trusting shield with his life to dismantling the shit out of it, goes from feeling like a lonely freak to opening up to sam and to natasha properly. thor is stripped of his confidence and his power and has to rebuild his own identity to boot while having to contend with his father’s fucked up legacy. the only reason he gets through it at all is because of the relationships he builds/repairs with valkyrie and bruce and loki. t’challa has to choose between isolationism and protection and responsibility, has to face his father’s words and deeds, has to atone for the mistakes of a man he’s idealized his whole life. the only reason he’s able to do this is because he has nakia and shuri and okoye and m’baku. this is why these films have substance! this is why they work so well just by themselves, this is why they fundamentally don’t belong in the mcu because the rest of the franchise is so obsessed with showy set pieces that don’t mean anything. like they just don’t have the necessary emotional/relational stakes baked into them to make them compelling. that’s my 2 cents 

i never thought i’d write the words “deeply evil carpet” but. seriously. what a deeply evil carpet that is.

And what you should do is to put this over an actual trap, like a hole in the floor so people will be like “Oh ha ha ha that’s soooo funny, it’s a rug!” And then fall through it.

My friend is 23 years old, has a college degree, and works full-time, and now that she’s recently got a boyfriend, her parents have given her a strict 9 PM curfew, under the flimsy excuse of wanting to make sure she “gets enough sleep” and doesn’t take noisy late-night showers. They insist that this is a reasonable imposition to make on a 23 year old woman because she lives under their roof.

I told her she should tell them that she’s decided to move out to live with her new boyfriend. That’ll show ‘em.

This isnt normal...?

There is reasonable working together with your adult child with the goal of both allowing and encouraging independence and freedom and minimizing conflict.

...and then there’s imposing arbitrary new rules and feigning previously nonexistent problems to discourage independence and exert control while you still can. My friend is mild-mannered and responsible and makes me look unspeakably reckless and foolhardy in comparison.

I am absolutely certain they wouldn’t have cut her curfew back if she were a son rather than a daughter.

A general rule I’ve found useful is: If you wouldn’t tolerate a level of interference from a roommate, it’s an inappropriate ask of an adult child.  “Don’t eat meals in your room, the food garbage attracts ants that we all have to deal with” -pretty reasonable. “Don’t make a lot of noise after _pm, you’ll wake the house and we have a right to expect to be able to sleep” -pretty reasonable. “You have to be in bed by _pm”-no longer a reasonable thing for a roommate to stipulate. 

I’m an Adult Human Person who has a right to make decisions about what I do and when I sleep, and so long as those decisions I’m making aren’t negatively impacting you then it’s really none of your business.

The transition from “Subordinate Child” to “Adult Person who shares living space” is a really rough one for some people, both the parent and the child. It took a few years and a lot of arguments for me to sort it out with my own parents, and I don’t think it really stuck until I moved out for the first time.
