Persephone is the girl who drinks pomegranate juice
And sits in the corner
She takes photos of nature
And grows lavender in her window-box
She is the girl who always buys the freshest peaches
The girl who takes off her shoes to run in the park
But she is also the girl
With a set of brass knuckles
Hidden in the pocket of her skirt.
Modern Persephone (via goddessofidiocy)
‘Never trust a survivor,’ my father used to warn me, ‘until you find out what he did to stay alive.’

jk rowling: It was never mentioned but Snape always had a pet horse that followed him around everywhere .It was not written because he just never mentioned it ,but the horse was definitely there
It just occurred to me, as I’m going through the Harry Potter books again, that whenever Harry has visions through Voldemorts eyes that he always, every single time, distinguishes between himself and Voldemort with the mention of “a white hand held a wand which was not his own”, or something to the effect of describing Voldemorts whiteness. While I’ve always taken this as a comment on how Voldemort is inhumanly, disgustingly pale, It occurred to me that a dark-skinned Harry Potter WOULD notice the stark, shocking difference in hands every single time without fail.
the weasleys. look at these battle-hardened children of war, with scars far older than their skin; their bloodied knuckles and bruised lips, trying to learn how to live again. (words.)
From A Series of Unfortunate Events DVD commentary track.
if you haven’t watched this film with the commentary then you are missing out, it’s hilarious. “Lemony Snicket” was completely unhappy with the film and wanted no real part of it and so in the commentary he just fucks about. Seriously, at one point he gets out an accordion and drowns out the director with his playing
“nearly all of my life”
Lemony Snicket sass is what I aspire to in life.
“Lemony Snicket” (Dan Handler) was asked if he liked the movie.
He said “I love the movie as much as someone who wrote 8 drafts of a movie before being fired from his own creation could possibly be.”
The man’s life is sarcasm and it’s beautiful.
lets start wearing cloaks and swords again. its time
