Sacrifice

Every time I see a post saying Anakin and Padmé would be neglectful and parents if they were to raise Luke and Leia in an AU where Anakin never turned, I lose a bit more hope for the Star Wars fandom…

i hate when you google a word and some fucking company comes up instead. Do you think you are more important than the english dictionary you piece of shit corporation

Relatives tend to share mannerisms and if you want a nice little detail for your stories, I recommend including that.

A father and son share the same restless or anxious movement like chewing on the inside of their lip or tapping their fingers. A mother and daughter both raise their eyebrows when they’re in deep thought. Two siblings both tilt their heads when something is intriguing. A younger brother copies his older brother’s posture. A grandchild copies the way their grandfather crosses his arms behind his back when he walks. A father throws his hat down when his sports team loses and his child grows up to do the same.

Adding niche similarities between my characters and their families is one of my favourite things to develop and one of my favourite ways to connect them despite whatever relationship and differences they may have.

They could hate their family and yet they tap their foot side to side when they’re standing in one spot like their father does, and they scrunch their nose when they close their eyes like their mother did. This can be used to portray your character’s struggle with their family, and amplify their fear over ending up like their family. It’s a subtle addition and yet it adds more depth to their turmoil.

Or on the flip side, it can help show how much your character admires their family by emulating them. It can help show how important their bond with their family is to them by showing those shared, unconscious similarities.

Shared mannerisms are a small detail but they will be noticed by somebody and appreciated.

relationships and jobs are temporary. your shitty unpopular tumblr blog is forever

back into my hp and retj obsession and wondering how to sort the characters and i think i’ve figured them out (note: this will follow the original french!retj characterizations) 

romeo: gryffindor. no contest there ha juliette: hufflepuff, but her personal choice would be gryffindor, which the hat would probably accept. girl is brave as hell, drinking fake death potions and all. benvolio: hufflepuff all the way precious bby mercutio: slytherin. not a typical one obvs, but still. either that, or he’d want to be slytherin so he can get his family off his back. also think about all the puns he’d make!!! and the dynamic with the other rois du monde!!!! tybalt: gryffindor, although to placate his family he’d beg the hat to put him in slytherin. imagine the drama that will cause if he turned out a gryffindor.  le prince: slytherin. his le pouvoir is too cynical for him not to be. also, it runs in the family.  paris: slytherin. not because he’s a dick (depends on the production and all) but political ambition and a family resemblance goes a long way (i headcanon paris as a cunning diplomat and good with the intricacies of politics). lord capulet: either gryffindor or hufflepuff. you can make the case of him being slytherin too (i see it more with his hungarian counterpart).  lady capulet: either gryffindor (french) or slytherin (hungarian). socialite, extroverted, slightly shallow.  lady montague: ravenclaw OR slytherin for her iron will and general badassery. though as always, depends on the production. my headcanon puts lord montague in gryffindor. i suppose that’s where romeo gets his gryffindor-ness.  the nurse: hufflepuff. homely and loyal, but immensely practical, which i think is a hufflepuff characteristic.  montague youths: most of them are gryffindors/hufflepuffs (lady montague is the exception because she is not a montague by blood but by marriage) because they seem more fun-loving than the capulets, and much more prone to reckless behavior.  capulet youths: now this is where it gets weird because i see them more as slytherins/ravenclaws, as they seem much more aristocratic, cunning, and restrained than the montagues, but it doesn’t jive much with the sortings for the heads. probably the auxiliary capulet cousins (like tybalt’s father and their family, including lady capulet) are more slytherin (i definitely headcanon tybalt’s father as a slytherin). also, if you’re going by the hungarian production, though, the capulets are definitely hardcore slytherins. 

My guardian angel works extra hours because I am extra stupid

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

she’s right
