yo but what if alex lied to everyone and the only thing true is that he’s with izzie. not because he suddenly wanted to be with her or bc she had his kids, but because he’s terminally ill and going to die soon and asked her for help on how to deal with it?
so he wrote those letters to everyone to cope?
does my theory have holes like ‘but he told mer to visit’ or ‘he asked bailey for a recommendation’? yeah it does, but so has the entirety of this season so who really cares at this point?
Snape: Here's the wolfsbane potion, Lupin. Don't forget to take it tonight. Don't put our students in danger.
*Lupin later that night*
I know this is a low blow, but I had to do it (? Hope you like it!!
Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, chapter twenty-one ‘The Unknowable Room’;
“‘Ah, no!’ said Ron, staring horror-struck at the parchment. ‘Don’t say I’ll have to write the whole thing out again!’
‘It’s OK, we can fix it,’ said Hermione, pulling the essay towards her and taking out her wand.
‘I love you, Hermione’, said Ron, sinking back into his chair, rubbing his eyes wearily.
Hermione turned faintly pink”
This bit is just adorable. Ron says this almost without thinking, and Hermione gets quite surprised by it, considering that a few days ago, the two were barely speaking to each other.
I can just imagine Hermione being shocked and trying not to freak out, and Harry being like…
It’s happening…
Imagine dating me and then boom we just last forever and we’re both happy asf. Wild
This is me enjoying my book
Everyone else bugging me and annoying me so I focus on everything but the damn book I’m annoyed as FUCK right now like seriously you’re quiet when I’m not focused on shit and all of a sudden you’re trying to talk to me every 2 seconds
But like on the other hand I love the people that are annoying me so I feel guilty for being annoyed 🥺🥺
- Communication doesn’t work on bullies. Telling a bully they’re making you feel bad is the wrong way to go. They want to make you feel bad. That’s the point.
- being kind to a bully doesn’t always mean they’ll stop. Sometimes it means they’ll just use your kindness to manipulate you while still continuing to bully you.
- not every bully has a sympathetically tragic home life. Sometimes people are just mean. Sometimes people just get off on hurting others.
- on that note, a tough home life is a reason, not an excuse. You don’t have to put up with bullying because somebody’s life sucks, just like you don’t have to let someone mug you because they’re broke.
- in order to forgive someone, they have to apologize first. If your bully has not apologized to you, you do not owe them anything.
- getting bullied as a kid can still mess you up in adult life. Maybe kids grow out of being bullies, but the marks they left often don’t go away.
- there are ways to get people to stop bullying you, but they almost all involve being mean back.
- as long as parents keep raising shitty bullying kids, there will be bullies. No amount of assemblies and hand-drawn posters will fix the problem. It’s the parents’ fault.
