Those Who Find Ugly Meanings In Beautiful Things Are Corrupt Without Being Charming....

— Oscar Wilde, from The Picture Of Dorian Gray

“Je voulais le regarder dans les yeux. Et dans ses yeux voir mourir la guerre, et l'arrogance de celui qui la veut, et la folie de celui qui la fait.”

— Alessandro Baricco, Homère, Iliade.

Harry Potter Characters as Aesthetics~

Harry Potter: scratches on your glasses, wishing on stars, improvising, tired souls, needing a hug, playful teasing, acts of kindness, oversized flannels, old photo albums, dulled pain, gentle snowfall, blanket forts, pushing yourself forward, being out all day, sleepovers, the color maroon, kissing on the first date, hoping for the best, the rustling of leaves, playing with fire, the wonder of someone new, tracing engravings with your finger

Ron Weasley: warm hugs, petting neighbour’s dog, holding hands, being selfless, jumping at the jump scares, cartoon tv shows, reading out loud, tracing your path on a map with your finger, poor radio connection, grabbing onto someone’s wrist, vintage shops, hair in your face, lending a hand, roasting marshmallows around the fire, self doubt, untapped potential, shy flirting, kind eyes

Hermione Granger: slip dresses, hardcover books, messy hair, compassion, worried glances, helping someone up, the smell of books, playing with the hem of your skirt, taking charge, holes in your tights, playful shoves, exasperated sighs, knee socks, pretty bathrobes, having to raise your voice, sitting cross-legged, polite smiles, self care, natural makeup, terms of endearment, feeling like you have something to prove

Draco Malfoy: wearing all black, smearing your eyeliner, silent judgement, keeping secrets, distant memories, sleepless nights, taking your time in the shower, silent apologies, regretful eyes, pressing your back against the wall, looking someone up and down, rough kisses, throwing things aside, crumpling up important notes, scribbled poetry, faked confidence, being unsure of who you are

Neville Longbottom: shy smiles, alone time, brushing your hair, forgetting, leaning your head on someone’s shoulder, wishing you were someone else, talking to plants, the smell of nature, biting your nails, silent bravery, moving your hair out of your face, sitting in diners, letting your feet dangle, comfort beverages, soft touches, giving everything you have, wooden park benches, birds flying overhead

Luna Lovegood: cozy sweater cardingans, the feeling of grass under your bare feet, the smell of late summer, crystal necklaces, clear lipgloss, scented candles, small smiles, sitting on your hair, rooftop sitting, people watching, encounters with wild animals, encyclopedias, picking flowers, keeping lovenotes in your pocket, your dress flowing as you run, stargazing, standing apart from the rest, art museums, content smiles, knowing better, distant music, daydreams

Pansy Parkinson: uncomfortable heels, goodbye kisses, the clinking of wine glasses, bold red lipstick, tugging at your hair, looking over your shoulder, eye rolls, zippers on the backs of dresses, blowing bubbles with your gum, jealousy, sheer sleeves, red cherries, faking a smile, the smell of cheap makeup, dramatically retelling a story, making out in the car, skirt slits, tapping your nails as you think, unrequited love

Cedric Diggory: fairness, coffee shops, climbing on uneven ground, wearing someone else’s shirt, stretching your arms out for balance, watching someone’s lips as they speak, thick eyelashes, sunny days, finally kissing the person you like, the smell of trees, getting compliments, counting your blessings, light hearted laughter, rolling your sleeves up, watching movies with your friends, tucking your necklace into your shirt, hand kisses

Cho Chang: finding interesting books, photography, wind blowing through your hair, laying in your bed listening to music, learning different cultures, libraries at night, being misunderstood, sparkly earrings, clear nail polish, staying quiet, longing gazes, laughing with a stranger, balconies, biting your lip, tying your t-shirt, blowing kisses, frozen yogurt swirls, friendship bracelets, sports games, wondering what could have been

Oliver Wood: whistling, the sound of footsteps on dirt pavement, dedication, snapping your fingers, walking at the front of the group, humming to yourself, wind blowing in your face, explaining how much something means to you, counting down, sitting on your bed to brainstorm, throwing your arms up in victory, holding hands while you kiss, shaking rain out of your hair, summer

It feels so joyous to be allowed back in cafe’s again. (x) if you choose to repost these images, credit me using the source in the link provided.  

punk academia is:

coming to class gripping your coffee or energy drink as if it were your lifeline

letting anyone copy your notes if they ask, but keeping the messiest notes ever (despite trying to keep them neat)

raising your hand and correcting the teacher/professor when they fuck up during a lecture

sharing your marked up copies of leviathan, the communist manifesto, and the republic with anyone interested

casually debating with your friends

worn out oxfords or combat boots

dark circles under your eyes

doodling on your quizzes (even if you don't think you're any good) so you don't have to be the first to turn yours in

never being afraid to fight against the system when it's flawed (also never being afraid to fight for somebody's rights)

stress. so much stress.

(part two. y'know the drill - add shit!)

when Charles Bukowski said "and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?"
