Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Okay, this really makes me want an AU where Richard is some sort of celebrity and Dean is his no-nonsense, ridiculously efficient PA who acts as a shield between Richard and Richard’s insecurities and the rest of the whole wide world

Rare German etched State Halberd
- Belonged to the guard of Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau
- Dated: 1589
- Measurements: the head 58.2 cm. Overall length 230.3 cm
- Provenance: The Bavarian military occupation of Salzburg in 1809 led to the transfer of a quantity of these halberds to the city Zeughaus in Munich
The head comes with a broad central spike formed with a full-length ridge developing from a rectangular socket, the latter retained by a series of rivets on pounced gilt-brass rosettes extending to two pairs of long straps of near-equal length. It has a flat rear fluke with a reinforced point, an axe-blade with concave leading edge and cut with strongly cusped designs over the rear edges.
There’s also a group of four near-annular piercings at the base of the fluke and axe-blade, both sides etched with panels of swagged strapwork scrolls filled with small scrolling leafy tendrils, involving, at the top, a small cartouche framing the date 1589, three masks, respectively a cherub, a lion and an espangnolette, a pair of crouched centaurs in the middle.
The arms of Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau are quartered with those of the archbishopric of Salzburg below an Bishop’s galero suspending twelve tassels. The straps are decorated over their length with running pattern of small leafy cartouches and retained by brass-capped rivets. In its original pine haft fitted with bone shoe and stamped with the circular mark of an early inventory.

“And that’s not real love—caring for someone without considering their happiness is the exact opposite of love, in point of fact.”
absolutely this. I’m so sick of people treating Lily like she had two options in life - James or Severus. Snape yelled the equivalent of racial slurs at her and sold her family to a psychopathic mass murderer. His story and his character have value, but if you’ve boiled that value down to unrequited love then you’ve missed the point of that character.
This times ten thousand. Snape did an incredibly heroic thing, but he was a twisted, abusive creepazoid.
I think the article has a small factual error, though: he didn’t know the prophecy referred to Harry’s family at all when he passed it on to Dumbledore. He intended to have the infant child of someone he didn’t know assassinated, but when Lily and James died instead of the Longbottoms, he had Epic Sads and Turned Good. (In the movie version, add “cuddling her corpse and ignoring her injured baby to scream and cry in the wreckage of the house staring at the dead bodies of its parents until someone else showed up” to the action).
Snape fucking sucks. He’s petty and bullying and he is regularly used by Rowling to stymy Harry by using his special power, Wall Of Adult Obfuscation. He gets a sick pleasure out of denying Harry things. During occlumency lessons, this grown ass man invades Harry’s mind for hours, looking into his most painful memories, and what does the abuse and neglect he witnesses there do? It makes Snape smug. Then Harry spies on one of his painful memories, and Snape flips the fuck out and throws him out of lessons.
Oh WEH, Snapey, your hidden pain is soooo much more special and private than Harry’s! Definitely don’t treat his abuse history with respect or anything. Keep up a running commentary on the stuff you see happen, and then wonder why he doesn’t respect your boundaries!
Everyone’s like “You have to go demand he take you back for more lessons!” because obviously it’s Harry’s job to appease to a smirking sadist for the greater good.
Sometimes C/YA lit’s beloved trope of writing the adults to be mysteriously dumb and emotionally unavailable so the kids can save the world gets very frustrating for me.
The Casual Vacancy is a wonderful eye-opener for how Rowling sees people. She does not like to write nice folks being harmless. She likes jerks who try to do their best and still fuck each other over.

OH HELL I’M HERE FOR THIS TOO.
is it fall yet?I NEED THIS SO BAD!!!
That looks pretty rad actually, and with a delightfully diverse cast. It was nice to see Clancy Brown again in that like two seconds before he got his head chopped off. Clancy, don’t become the next Sean Bean. DON’T DO IT.
Okay, this looks cracked out, but in the best possible way, and the cast is BANGIN’. HELLO JOHN CHO I SEE YOU THERE BEING BADASS.
I will definitely watch the pilot.
