"From far away I wish I'd stayed with you, but here face to face, a stranger that I once knew.
I thought if I wandered I'd fall back in love. You said distance brings fondness, but guess not with us."
- Astronomy, Conan Gray
Doesn't ask for help
Overachiever
Covers his deep insecurities with a god-complex
Abandonment and trust issues
Suffers panic and anxiety attacks, the others know exactly what to do when it happens and huddle around him, holding hands and grounding him, until he starts breathing normally again and stops shaking
Protective of his chosen family
Instead of fighting to keep people in his life, he lets them go because in the end he thinks he's never enough to stay for
Hates loud noises and making noise when moving or walking
Deeply misunderstood
Tries to remain detached and cold as much as possible because knows he'd end up caring too deeply
Self-isolates when he doesn't know how to deal with his feelings, luckily, whenever that happens, the others storm his usual hiding spots and force him to go outside and enjoy himself
Escapes from his own thoughts by reading or listening to music compulsively
Barty Crouch Jr.
"I used to like liquor to get me inspired but you look so beautiful, my new supplier. I used to like smoking to stop all the thinking, but I found a different buzz.
The world is a curse, it'll kill if you let it I know they got pills that can help you forget it, they bottle it, call it medicine, but I don't need drugs. 'Cause I'm already high enough, you got me, you got me good."
- High Enough by K. Flay
covers his need for attention and approval with loudness and chaos
Fear of missing out
Afraid that people will forget about him and leave him behind
Avoids talking and thinking about his own feelings
Cannot control his emotions when overwhelmed
Hides it when deeply hurt
Clingy drunk, cries if left by himself
Has a soft spot for pets, especially dogs (once he even accidentally cuddled Padfoot without knowing it was actually Sirius)
Hopeless romantic when in a serious relationship
Incredibly intelligent, he just doesn't want to please his father in any way so he acts out
Jokes about his trauma in public, but ends up sleeping in Evan's bed whenever he has nightmares
ADHD kid
Makes dirty jokes all the time but is afraid of having a stable relationship and not being enough for his partner
Evan Rosier
"And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute that I (I) died (died) right inside your arms tonight? That I'm fine even after I have died? Because it was in your arms I died.
I cry in the afterlife, I cry hard because I have died, and you're alive. I try to escape afterlife, I try hard to get back inside your arms alive."
- Arms Tonite by Mother Mother
Calm and collected most of the time
Silent anger
Insomniac, spends the nights reading and listening to chill music
Deadly afraid of spiders, always asks Pandora to take them outside
Energy drinks and caffeine
If looks could kill
Tries to keep everyone from getting in trouble together with Dorcas
Doesn't pay attention in class but gets good grades anyway
Grew up too quickly
Joins Barty and Dorcas whenever they are tipsy and start a singing contest
Likes nights out with friends, randomly walking with no precise destination, a few drinks in hand and the warmth of chosen family around him
The observant, silent one
Always carries small perfume vials since he can't stand smells (sweat, cigarette smoke, etc.)
Pandora Rosier
"You don't have to be like everybody else, you don't have to fit into the norm, you are not here to conform. I am here to take a look inside myself, recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm.
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (ha), not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA. I am the observer, I'm a witness of life, I live in the space between the stars and the sky."
- Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land by MARINA
Already figured who was going to end up in a relationship with whom years before it happened
Has a private gardening spot where she grows their own plants (especially herbs)
Follows the lunar calendar instead of the solar one, they all celebrate both new years with big parties
Wears long airy dresses with flower patterns and a dozen crystal necklaces and rings
Talks enthusiastically about everything she's passionate about with no restraints (and everyone loves listening to her talk)
Knows weird knowledge nobody knows from where
Walks Hogwarts' halls singing and with a spring in her step
Spends afternoons in the forest sketching fantastic beasts and feeding them treats
Loves making flower crowns, Regulus wears them whenever she makes one for him and hexes anyone who dares say something about it
Always has paint on her hands or face
Dorcas Meadowes
"Say my name, as every colour illuminates. We are shining, and we will never be afraid again.
And when we come for you, we'll be dressed up all in blue, with the ocean in our arms, kiss your eyes and kiss your palms.
And when it's time to pray, we'll be dressed up all in grey, with metal on our tongues, and silver in our lungs."
- Spectrum (Say My Name) by Florence and The Machine

Has everything planned out
Neon lights and cocktails, loud music and cherry flavored lip balm
Travels a lot but is ready to return home immediately if one of her close friends needs her help
Elegant style, always impeccably dressed
Storms out of the dorm and takes a long walk whenever she feels she can't control her anger
Loves to listen to true crime podcasts

So I love the Marauders' gang, but (I don't know if you guessed it) I really have a soft spot for the Skittles. To me they feel like the ones who never really even had a chance to be saved, who were left to fend for themselves and to die just because of their families and house. They were damaged as much as the others but found no one to help them but each other.
Sirius Black is left handed
Remus first learns this when they are sitting with their hands interlocked doing work and Sirius just casually writes his essay with his left hand because his right is holding Remus’
And Remus is shocked because how has he never noticed??
And he’s not writing in his perfect Black cursive, his handwriting with his left hand is a lot messier, a lot more ‘him’
But the next day he is taking notes in class with his right hand and the perfect handwriting is back and Remus is so confused
So he finally asks Sirius about it and he tells him about how he was born a leftie
But his parents couldn’t have a defected heir, so they forced him to learn with his right hand
So now he can write pretty well with both but just defaults to the right because that’s what he’s always done
And Remus just decides at every opportunity to sit on Sirius’ right and hold his hand so he has to write with his left
Because it’s so beautiful and true and him
luck please and thank you
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
i imagine professor keating learning about the women in welton article and thinking what kind of idiot would do that, and then charlie does the telephone act in front of nolan and it's like ooooh lmao it's one of my main idiots
bro your whimsy. you forgot your fucking whimsy. your solemn and somber attitude is scaring the hoes
Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???
So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"
But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????
gay gasp
FUCK YOU
