here’s the stuff my mama taught me: there’s iron to bind the fae, throw salt over one shoulder and never wait for a man to fix you - get AAA but know how to change a tire, use tape or a knife or running water to open jars, stand on whatever you need to in order to reach the top shelf or else just don’t put things up there, and never put your man above your friends or soon you’ll have neither, baby
i wrote you love notes in sugar packets, told her i was so crazy for you i’d cut my hair off she said god i hope not i tore open the jar of my body and carved out whatever home you’d lick up, crawled on knees and changed myself until i was flat by the roadside, hated the cliche but called the devil to me
my mother picked me up off the kitchen floor. she said: here’s where to put the spoons but maman my heart is in his hands and he is a vice and i am the moon put salt on watermelon and brown sugar in tuna but maman i taste nothing and this world is nothing without him here’s how to fold a napkin but maman i can fold into nothing but him and him and him
she shows me how to sew. how to leave out milk. how to set a smile.
she presses the handle of a knife into my palm. “And when all else fails, my love,” she says, “Chop something up and move on.”

When Roman entered the hottest new coffee shop in town, he didn’t expect to find the key-youtest barista serving drinks.
He was adorable, with dark, dark hair, slightly tinted purple, and sleeves that were pushed up half-way, causing him to look a zillion times more cute than he did in the first place.
The only problem?
Said barista, Virgil, according to his name tag, would not respond to his flirting!

So (according to the concept art book) as the Fellowship travels deeper into Middle Earth, the places they pass through become inspired by progressively older periods of history. The farther along you are in the story, the more ancient the design influences
We begin in The Shire: which feels so familiar because, with its tea-kettles and cozy fireplaces, it’s inspired by the relatively recent era of rural England in the 1800s
But when we leave Hobbiton, we also leave that familiar 1800s-England aesthetic behind and start going farther back in time.
Bree is based on late 1600s English architecture
Rohan is even farther back, based on old anglo-saxon era architecture (400s-700s? ce)
Gondor is way back, and no longer the familiar English or Anglo-Saxon: its design comes from classical Greek and Roman architecture
And far far FAR back is Mordor. It’s a land of tents and huts: prehistoric, primitive, primeval. Cavemen times
And the heart of Mordor is a barren lifeless hellscape of volcanic rock…like a relic from the ages when the world was still being formed, and life didn’t yet exist
And then they finally reach Mount Doom, which one artist described as
“where the ring was made, which represents, in a sense, the moment of creation itself”
I would kind of love to see the Slytherins (like Barty and Regs dorm) in first year 😂
((OOC: Well, not to self-promote but I will anyway, my other blog @regulusblacksdiary is following the Reg from this blog from when he was a child all the way up to… well… now lol. So you’ll get to see it from his point of view when he starts Hogwarts and I promise it’ll be so smol hfhd))

Barty Sr, did you know that your son’s boyfriend is planning on becoming a Death eater? How do you feel about that?
Barty Sr: Thank you for that information. I didn’t know that, but it’ll definitely come in handy.
date a being who is absolutely fascinated with the most mundane aspects of your existence. the way your face twitches when you sleep, how you get breathless after running, dancing, or even just laughing a bit too hard, the warmth of your skin, heating up your face whenever they look at you.
