oh to be a statue of a goddess covered in moss, somewhere in the garden of the enchanted ruins the castle left behind, for birds to take rest on my shoulders and for animals to sleep in front of my feet, for no ordinary humans to be reached

Now what makes Albus Dumbledore so fond of you, Mr.Scamander?

You know what I’ve just realised again after having watched the cuddle clip for the 5267391856th time:

One of the many reasons why I fell in love with skam so much when I first saw it is that it shows people in their purest form. They don’t cover up any “flaws” or “insecurities” one might see in their skin. They embrace them. They leave the pimples, the acne, the moles, the birthmarks, the hair on their skins, all of it. It’s ok if you want to wear make-up because you just feel like it for you and not for anyone else and it’s also ok if the concept of wearing make-up isn’t of any interest to you. These little bit significant things make the scenes and characters so much more authentic and realistic and you forget for a second that you’re watching a fictional story. 

When the characters wake up in the morning they actually look like they’ve just woken up. Bags under their eyes, messy hair without any product in it, no make-up, eyes can barely open, crinkles on their faces from the pillow and their faces just look like they’ve been squashed by a truck bc that’s reality that’s how it’s supposed to be. No one in the history of humanity has ever woken up like they just had magical little helpers during the night working on it. 

I’m saying “flaws” and “insecurities” bc in most of the stuff I saw when I was a teenager or still even in so many films and tv shows now they are viewed as flaws bc they’re being covered up by this ton of make-up, so you can’t see any spots, any marks and anything that doesn’t look “smooth” and “perfect”. And that’s just such a horrible portrayal of humans to put out there in the world?? Film and tv have such a huge impact on societal standards and values and how people view themselves that it’s almost criminal to force such a wrong depiction of what you’re supposed to look like onto someone, especially when you have a younger/teenage audience.

And also wtf even is perfect in that sense, there is no such thing as perfection when it comes to something that is so unique in every single way. You can’t paint a picture of the ultimate perfection bc it doesn’t exist. There are infinite individual perfections for every single person bc we all view things in a different way. 

We are the same species but we’re all different. Everyone has different skin and it’s so important to embrace that. How boring would it be if we all actually looked the same and had no individual traits that adorned our skins?

The Queen and The King are both beautifully doomed by narrative

His dancing gives me strength

On the northwest Belgian coast, there is a little known tradition: shrimp fishing on horseback. The activity consists of what its name describes: fishing shrimp on a horse. In the 15th century, shrimp fishing on horseback was still practised on the North Sea coasts in France, the Netherlands and even the South of England. This activity represented an extra revenue needed for the household. Nowadays there is only one place in which it is still ongoing: Oostduinkerke, a sub-municipality of the municipality of Koksijde.
