how did jk manage to write ootp and not come to the conclusion that the only career w any true meaning for harry james potter was as a goddamn professor at hogwarts like how do u write the da scenes and say “nah he’d want to be a wizard cop”
#but it would be so perfect??? #bc it would help normalize his life so much #like there would just be this generation of kids who are like #‘ugh who cares that he killed the dark lord he gAVE US HOMEWORK OVER BREAK’ #like the beginning of every year there would be the new first years who would freak out a little #but then it would calm down #and most of the students would literally forget #until like clockwork the fifth years would have their history of magic class on the second war #and they’d all show up to DADA looking a little awestruck and everyone would be extra quiet #and harry would give this kind of annoyed sigh—except it’s fake bc he TOTALLY knew this was coming #bc binns is a bro and he totally gives him a heads up every year #and harry wouldn’t have any lesson plans for the day and instead he would just sit at the front of the room and answer everyone’s questions #but otherwise everyone would just be like ‘professor potter!! i can’t get my patronus to work! help me!’ #and like they’d go home at the end of the year or for break and their parents—who ARE still starstruck by harry james potter #would pester their kids with questions#and the kids would just be like ‘merlin i don’t know?? potter’s such a huge dork you should hear him talk about proper wand movements’ #but they would all love him #and he would feel safe and normal and utterly accepted #AND I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE (via @cinematicnomad)
Not to mention it would be an ultimate Fuck You to Voldemort, who put a curse on the teaching position in the first place.
Like, Jo, I don’t want to tell you how to do your job, but COME ON
I already queued this but also, you do this, but still have Ginny become a famous Quidditch player. Imagine the first time Harry gets called “Ginny’s husband” before “the boy who lived” or “the chosen one.” Imagine how fucking pleased he’d be.
Imagine the first time a student comes up to him looking starry-eyed and Harry’s thinking “Oh no” because he doesn’t want to talk about Voldemort or the war but instead this little eleven year old is like “ARE YOU REALLY MARRIED TO WEASLEY FROM THE HOLLYHEAD HARPIES???!?? WHAT’S SHE LIKE?” and he’s like “oh thank god” because he could talk about Ginny all day.
Yes. Good.
I agree it would definitely normalize his life, but we saw in Order of the Phoenix how reluctant he was to teach. Granted, there was a lot going on in 15 year old Harry’s life, but I imagine that if he absolutely did not want to fucking teach then, he wouldn’t want to teach as an adult (because like. Yeah, I think he’d make a great DADA teacher, but also - he has a hell of a lot of field experience for someone who shouldn’t have so much thrust upon him at such a young age. I imagine it must have made him realize that just because he was kinda destined to be put into those situations didn’t mean he had to hate it. Might just make him realize that’s his greatest strength. Putting what he learned to actual use instead of teaching others long-term).

hint: if a person with clinical depression and anxiety says theyre tired …. dont tell them they have no reason to be …. bc guess what….. They Know and Its Shitty
Louder!!!
I just want to add one thing-
If you have depression or anxiety? you’re not tired for no reason.
You’re tired because you have depression/anxiety.
Not only do they both come with low energy/fatigue as a legit common side effect, but they’re both fucking /exhausting/. fighting your brain all the time? exhausting. adrenaline crashes from anxiety/panic attacks? exhausting. being on edge all the time? exhausting. plus doing things costs /more/ energy when you have those mental illnesses.
You’re not tired for no reason, you’re tied because you have an illness that makes you tired.
I needed to hear this so bad that it made me cry
MOTHER.FUCKING.THIS.
Wait… So like if you aren’t experiencing an anxiety/depression episode, do you still get tired all the time cause you have the disorders?
I’m tired ALL the fucking time. I’ve had blood work done, half a dozen doctor appointments, a fucking sleep study, they can’t figure out why I’m always so tired. But my depression and anxiety are pretty episodic (my depression more so. I can go months without being depressed) so I didn’t think that they’d be the cause. I do get exhausted especially when my anxiety kicks in though.
Does anyone have any experience and insight on this? It’d be super awesome to know this is the cause and not something else.
ABSOLUTELY. I find myself exhausted even on days when I’m happy and having a wonderful time, and definitely more so when my anxiety is high. Because living with a depressed brain means everything takes twice as much effort to process, to enjoy, to respond to, to cope with. We just don’t realize it because that’s our “normal.” We don’t have anything to compare it to; our baseline is “damn near everything makes me feel tired or overwhelmed or vaguely and pervasively meh.”
My anxiety gives me insomnia (like even if I’m not stressed before going to bed, I will stress about not getting enough sleep) so I’m running on low sleep all the time. I used to manage it because I took Claritin D, which has an amphetamine, every day for my allergies, but after my doctor made me switch off of it (because of heart problems), I am way less capable of working as efficiently. It doesn’t help that lots of mood stabilizers will make you drowsy.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain?
i have honest to god never seen a santa clause reaction gif in my entire life
OH MY GOD
Hér Ferr Hafdjarfr ~ Here sails the Sea-Brave.
Bryggen, Bergen, Norway – Some time during the early middle ages an unknown master runer carefully carved a Juniper stick with outstanding and meaningful designs. Still incredibly evocative of that past, the stick represents a complete Viking war fleet in all its power and glory, probably ready to sail, with dragonheads and pennants dominating the scene. On the reverse side of the stick is written Hér ferr Hafdjarfr, which literally means ‘Here sails the Sea-Brave’, either meaning an entire fleet or referring to the particular name (Hafdjarfr) of a local sea bold. Juniper itself was definitely not a random choice for the job. Part of the cypress family, it is one of the most widespread conifers and Vikings, being seamen and adventures who spread throughout Europe and beyond, would have found it everywhere. From warm and sunny Mediterranean places to the freezing landscapes of Norway, Greenland and Iceland, thus infusing a sense of longevity and immortality. This worn out flag is the celebration of one of the most evocative archaeological findings in Scandinavian history and, in particular, of its Viking Age.
