“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”
— Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
listen, there is absolutely nothing that gets me going like mutual seemingly unrequited pining like? i live for both people losing their minds over the other person in bitter silence. savoring every single accidental brush of their fingers, elbows, thighs, every stray glance, memorizing every gesture or expression they catch while the other isn’t looking, all while being absolutely convinced that it’s one-sided only to finally!! finally find out it wasn’t in a triumphant moment of bliss after years and years of delicious, soul-rending, torturous, heart-wrenching pining. i literally don’t care about the fact that this trope is predictable af and always plays out the same way i will still go wild over it every single time like they’ll be doing the same reveal scene i have seen a million times and i’m still on the edge of my seat gasping “are they gonna kiss???”
Ravenclaw/Slytherin
The most deadly combination
Seriously, WATCH OUT FOR THEM, THEY’RE THE DREAM TEAM
These are the people who bring down governments
And hack extremely secure databases
For fun
While drinking vodka
If a Ravenclaw needs to hide a body they’ll call their Slytherin friend
It might take them a while to warm up to each other, but when they do, they’re friends for life
LOTS of debates.
Gryffindor/Slytherin
Oh man
Be careful with these ones
They make a really good team during physical fights/duels
“I hate you” “No you don’t, you love me”
Getting drunk together
Crazy pranks
Sometimes they pretend to hate each other even when they’re actually friends
They give each other advice on how to flirt
Lots of bickering
“You suck” “Love you too”
Hufflepuff/Slytherin
Rare but amazing
Slythers help Puffs stand up for themselves
Puffs make Slythers admit it when they’re wrong
Legitimately best friends
Really lowkey friendship
They can just sit around eating Chinese food and watching movies without speaking if they need to
Silent communication
“I’m having a problem with this person” “Okay, I’ll kill them for you” “NO”
Slytherin/Slytherin
They understand each other, even when other people don’t get them at all
They can spend tons of time together and not get sick of each other
Sometimes they watch shows together and get into VERY PASSIONATE ARGUMENTS about ships/characterization
They can be a little rude to each other, but they don’t take it personally
If you hurt one of them, the other is coming for you with a cheerful smile and very sharp knives
Slytherins sometimes try to hide it when they’re hurt, but their Slytherin friends see straight through them
They don’t really have to talk in order to comfort each other
They can just kind of sit there together and it will make them feel a little better
Lots of devious schemes
They criticize/veto certain outfits, hairtstyles, and relationship choices for their friend.
Gryffindor
Ravenclaw
Hufflepuff
I offer you the sound of a train barreling through empty space, all but drowning out the laughter of a truly happy time
