How are lupin and Sirius going to celebrate Valentine's Day?

im glad u asked! im actually writing a drabble about this just now. 

- sirius (obviously) LOVES valentine’s day and insists on going as over the top as he can every single time

- remus is NOT A FAN of valentine’s day, or emotions in general tbh

- but this year, sirius and remus have been going through a rocky stage of their relationship; arguing constantly about every little thing and not talking to each other for days. because of this, sirius has been really down and moody recently and doesn’t plan anything for valentine’s as he doesn’t see the point

- moony, however, hasn’t forgotten the past years and how much effort sirius likes to put into getting gifts for him, so he knows he has to do something

- it is common knowledge that remus cannot cook to save his life. he’s actually been banned from the kitchen by lily because of an incident involving some toast, so he knows he can’t make a nice meal like he wants to (sirius doesn’t like going out to eat because he gets uncomfortable eating in front of others)

- so remus is panicking for ideas and of course turns to the love guru himself, james

- after fangirling extensively over how stressed remus is getting about trying to do something nice for sirius, james points out the obvious - sirius is the soppiest person alive and likes to spend valentine’s like he’s starring in a rom-com movie. as well as this, sirius is also the biggest pizza-slut on earth, so put two and two together and remus knows what to do

- it’s very simple, and at first he’s worried that it’ll be a let down compared to what sirius would have planned himself, but remus settles on ordering sirius’ favourite pizza, filling the room with sirius’ favourite mulled-wine candles, and buying the most Extra bunch of red roses he can find 

- when sirius gets home that evening, remus is shitting himself with self-doubt, but nevertheless he puts on sirius’ fave bowie album and goes to meet him at the door

- it seems to take forever for sirius to take it all in, and for a second remus thinks that he’s Fucked Up because sirius literally just stares at the candles, at remus, at the roses he’s holding, and says nothing

- but when remus kisses him on the cheek and hands him the flowers, there are tears brimming in sirius’ eyes, because after all the arguments and the doubt and the harsh words from both of them, sirius knows his moony loves him, because remus would never do anything like this for anyone else

- starman has never been the best song to slow dance to, but sirius insists that no cliched romantic evening is complete without a slow dance, and remus can’t exactly say no

- basically remus forgets his hatred of feelings and spends the entire evening telling sirius that he loves him while sirius cries because he’s so happy. there is lots of cuddling and playing with hair and forehead kisses 

- also the next day sirius literally takes the bunch of roses outside and walks around with them hoping that someone asks where he got them from so he can rant endlessly about how he has THE BEST BOYFRIEND IN THE WORLD WHO IS MOST DEFINITELY BETTER THAN YOURS

happy valentine’s people :)

The Imitation Game (2014)

You wish you could have been normal… I can promise you I do not. The world is an infinitely better place precisely because you weren’t. 

- What’s that you’re reading? - It’s about cryptography. - Like… Secret messages? - Not secret: that’s the brilliant part. Messages that anyone can see, but no one knows what they mean, unless you have the key. - How’s that different from talking? - Talking? - When people talk to each other, they never say what they mean. They say something else, and you’re expected to just know what they mean. Only I never do. So, how’s that different? - Alan, I have a funny feeling you’re going to be very good at this.

Sometimes it’s the very people who no one imagines anything of who do the things no one can imagine.

The Imitation Game (2014), dir. Morten Tyldum

Hugely important to me to understand the back story with Christopher Morcom, whom I think basically motivated his entire life. And it was his first love, and I think it was a very romantic love. I think it was more than just admiration. I think he was utterly besotted with this boy. — Benedict Cumberbatch

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, of course. Like I said; I didn’t know him very well.”

Quotes from the Harry Potter Books [28/50]

You know what makes me sad?

The fact that Ron Weasley is seen as what the horcrux showed as his greatest fear.

Not good enough.

TIPS:

Remember that today’s day in age is different from how it was back then. So don’t stress about school too much.High school students today have the anxiety of what a mental patient in the insane asylum had in the 50s. Here’s also a thing to show how times have changed.

Prioritize. List what needs to get done first and when. Sometimes getting the bigger/harder tasks is easier than conquering the smaller/easier tasks.

Set times when certain projects need to be done and stick to that deadline.

Turn your phone off or give it to your parents while doing work/studying. I know that we live in the age of technology and literally everything is at the touch of our fingertips. Honestly though you can wait on what your favorite celebrity has to say or if your crush liked your instagram photo. You’ll be more involved in that than you are into your work.

If you have trouble in a certain subject and there is no assigned seating, take advantage of the front. I guarantee you’ll learn more.

Ask your teacher what exactly you’ll need to know. If you’re taking notes during the year, write in the margins whether or not it will be tested. It will be easier to know what you will be tested on.

Save your exams. Half the time your teachers use the same questions (or questions similar) from your exams on your midterms or finals.

Don’t try to do homework straight afterschool if you can’t, despite what everyone says. Give yourself an hour, and try to get some exercise in. I find it stops me getting bored of sitting down. Not to mention helps me concentrate better.

Don’t just read the material, write it, draw it, recite it, quiz yourself on it! Until you have the material down.

Join clubs, sports, or organizations! You’re guaranteed to find friends in there. You’ll already have common interests. Start with that and go with the flow.

College kids: If you don’t have assigned seating, and you have been sitting in the same seat for 2 weeks. That is you assigned seat now. Don’t move or you’ll screw everyone up and they will hate you.

Color code things, such as your notes. If you want to see how I color code my notes message me and I’ll be happy to show you. 

Be kind to one another.

I hope that helps!

Best,

Lena

I’m seeing this beautiful weather right now. It’s so pretty it’s giving me anxiety.

Anxiety is a side-effect of souls seeing the world through a clear lens.

you see the truth for what it is and your whole being just reacts to the unfairness of it all // Hina Syeda @abillionlittlethoughts (via abillionlittlethoughts)

Ok lets be real, if ‘the first thing you said to your soulmate is tattooed on your skin’ was real then greeting people with your full name would just be the thing that everyone did so that it would be easier to find your other half. Except that one time when your having a bad day and some idiot spills coffee all over your laptop and you spend a solid five minutes swearing at them and then they pull up their sleaves and there is your whole rant laid before you and you give a final 'shit’.

“You don’t seem the type for petty revenge.”

“….Really? Not the type? Me? Like, two thirds of my personality is petty revenge.”
