Hufflepuffs rule.

The Hufflepuff Aesthetic

Friends. Loyalty. Justice. Truth. These are the things Hufflepuffs hold closest to their hearts.

Things associated with Hufflepuffs: beautiful smiles. bright summer and spring days. picnics. honeybees. real, natural honey. vines. lemons. dragonflies. homemade jam and lemonade. gardening. putting lots of effort into everything. holding hands. pure white clouds. everything yellow. sunflowers. overalls. daisies. kittens. puppies. pretty much any baby animal.  angel wings. equality. outgoing nature. sweet tea. flower crowns. soft and oversized sweaters. handmade crafts. every. houseplant. ever. the sun’s rays beaming through the windows in the mornings and late evenings. light blue jeans. that one friend that waits for you while you tie your shoelaces. standing up for someone getting bullied because it’s the right thing to do. wearing friendship necklaces/bracelets. a love for history and herbology. always understanding and empathetic. chewed pencils. clumsiness. feeling confident about their outward appearance. telling someone if they think what they’re doing isn’t right. pinecones. never letting dark thoughts or influences affect them. floral dresses. sneakers. cake and, well, just about every sweet there is. braids. watching the sunset with the one they love most. old, worn, antique junk for collecting. “killing with kindness.” jumping in leaf piles. hide and go seek outside. bicycles. quiet giggling. being generally better with animals or plants than with people. rotting logs. being scared of monsters in youth (and secretly in adulthood). not getting mad at a friend when they mess up, but instead comforting them with a tight hug and whispering, “it’s okay.” good-natured fun. very protective of their loved ones. developing crushes on nearly anyone that is nice to them. dancing with their best friend/significant other. being genuinely happy when someone compliments them. a love for travel. being head boy/girl. painting their skin/clothes. the silver lining. dressing only in clothes they are comfortable in. sewing/knitting. black t-shirts, but every other clothing item is colorful. people often think them stupid, it’s just the opposite. forgetting to use magic sometimes (especially if half-blood/muggleborn). getting small tattoos of their loved ones’ names. “the golden rule.”

some pictures I feel are fitting: 

(note that this is my personal view of what hufflepuff house represents and/or its vibe! this will not apply to all hufflepuffs, so do not be disheartened if most of this does not fit your personality or opinion! you are just as valid as any other hufflepuff!)

I absolutely love this.

Dream watch

Omega Seamaster 1956

I really liked Oppenheimer. I know it's not for everyone, but as someone who is interested in STEM and STEM history, especially pertaining to physics, this movie pushed all of the right buttons for me. I think it did a good job at showing just how flawed and utterly human many of these mythologized historical figures were in real life, and how the Manhattan Project was riddled with internal and external political factors from even before its conception.

I also appreciated just how utterly fucking powerful and eldritch they made the bomb. Obviously a significant portion of the movie is dedicated to the creation of the bomb, but it's often sort of a looming figure in the background. It's the increasing number of marbles in the jar, it's the steady theoretical and experimental progress, it's the dropping of dates for those who know the historical timeline of events. And when it's finally revealed, it's Fucking Terrifying. You pretty much never see the full mushroom cloud in frame; it's always a small portion of it or the flash of light shining on our characters. And the sinking feeling you get when the screen is lit up and you just know, you're anticipating that deafening blast from the shockwave because sound travels slower than light. And you feel guilty in a way because you have the privilege of knowing what's coming, while in your mind you know the victims of such devices had no idea before they were either vaporized on the spot or severly traumatized. It conveys so well the perspective of the scientists on the project, that you've challenged god and, although maybe not surpassing it, made something equally as terrifying.

Character-wise, I don't really have much to say. I do like that the latter third of the movie slowed down a lot to focus on the accusations made against Oppenheimer, which helped to flesh out a range of characters who were sort of just set pieces to Oppenheimer himself before the interviews. And despite my previous statement about breaking down the idolization of historical figures, I was indeed excited like a Marvel fan whenever one of my physics blorbos showed up on screen. "Holy shit it's Niels Bohr!!" "omg Edward Lorentz my scrunkly wunkly!!!" "ITS BONGO GUY OMG BONGO GUY I KNOW HIM" like yeah a lot of them turned out to be Not Great People in their personal lives but I can acknowledge that while also geeking out at their recognition in mainstream media.

All in all, very good movie. I intend to watch it with my mom when I get the chance.
