James: Knowledge Is Knowing Tomato Is A Fruit.

i don't care what anyone says regulus was secretly VERY sassy

Regulus: [at Rodolphus and Bellatrix’s wedding] I’m so happy for them

Sirius: Really?

Regulus: [sipping his coffee] no

I need a Sirius Black for my Remus Lupin

looking at old photos of myself thinking not only is that girl dead but i killed her

i'd tell you to go to hell, but you'd probably feel at home there.

remus lupin to sirius black

it's really hard to guess, isn't it ? :)

*birthday letter reading time*

Remus:'happy birthday, Moony!

thanks for being such a nuisance...?'

Remus:'Noble Unique Insanely-Sexy Attractive Nice Cute Eloquent'...

Sirius: haha who could've wrote that amazingly written letter....

Sirius: Am i right, Remus?

Remus: Almost certainly not, but to be fair I wasn't listening.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

sirius: before you say no-

remus: no

sirius: you didn't even let me finish-

remus: im sticking with no.

whatever it is you need good luck for, i wish you good luck. tests, job, home life, social life, mental health, physical health, love life. you name it. this post is wishing you good luck on all of that.
