Gryffindor Courage

You know the drill

One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m working there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.

Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?

Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?

Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?

***

Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.

Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?

***

Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?

Customer: …I’m pretty good.

Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee* 

***

Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?

Customer: ….they’re okay.

Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.

***

Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.

***

Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.

***

Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!

***

Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.

***

Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!

Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates appropriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.

Tell me about your crush!

R: wassup loser?

R: obviously not, we’ve been dating for like a year Pads

R: describe Minerva.

Meet Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black woman who invented that rock and roll sound 

You know what’s sad, before I even read this article I was ready to refute this because I grew up believing Chuck Berry created Rock and roll. It’s said how so many knew of this great woman yet none spoke on her greatness.

I also discovered Big Mama Thornton, who’s another hugely influential early inventor of rock and roll — I’m pretty sure Hound Dog was originally popularized by her, before Elvis stole it.

Love Sister Rosetta Tharpe! #BlackGirlMagic

A few of her performances:

Also I heard she was bisexual…

Happy Black History Month! 

“Moody” Tonks

(( OOC: This is a short “Reverse Remadora” thread adapted from a drabble I wrote a long time ago. As we’ve switched our character roles and given them quite different personalities, the vibe is a little different. Tonks is played by @asktheboywholived​ ))

This was the first watch Remus and Tonks had spent together in weeks. He had grown so used to her endless chatter and relentless questions, a burning ball of energy with a laugh like her mother’s.

But tonight, Remus watched Tonks yawn so hard that her whole body shuddered.

They spent night after night combing the streets for intel on Voldemort’s position - by day working for the Ministry, following orders and avoiding suspicion.

I’m still alive with a lot of unfinished drawings and projects and a lot things to do but I’m still alive.

Remus and Sirius from Harry Potter are my best magic boys forever

Now I'm definitely beginning to think you aren't fine. Look, whatever you think you did, Will is your friend. Even if he's mad at you, it'll be okay - he doesn't seem the type to hold grudges.

(Tonks is back in her room at grimmauld place after a particular hard day. Why don’t you ask her about it? )
