too many people in the fandom are so eager to minimize (or even villainise) the female characters and their canonical importance to the story in favour of a mlm ship that they just love to fetishize.
cancer - intj - slytherin
Slytherin november aesthetic: the grey, misty days, the trees that no longer bear leaves, dressing too lightly for the weather, the cold rain against your overheated face, the water steam rising from hot showers, the grass glowing green against the gray surroundings, cold hands, touching the water of a still lake, red wine, bare feet against a cold floor, dark lipstick and long coats.
slytherin as destruction/rebirth
I finished that sketch i posted :)))
My submission for @tinyshroomboy ‘s dtyis, probably one of my favourite drawings now.
house elves are mistreated to the point where physical punishments are normal and commonplace and sirius’ family murdering them and mounting their heads on the wall is something accepted by their society
…but jk rowling frames the narrative around them as though they like being kept essentially as slaves and to give them rights and agency would be bad

the noble and most ancient house of black
The heir of the House of Black
“And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in these dangerous times, it should be ‘Wizards first’?” asked Lee.
“I’d say that it’s one short step from 'Wizards first’ to 'Purebloods first,’ and then to 'Death Eaters'”, replied Kingsley. “We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.”
The Malfoys getting punched in the face

uhm anyway it does not sit right with me that jkr tried to portray SPEW as a silly little idea Hermione had because she was raised by muggles and didn’t understand ”wizard customs” or whatever
Hufflepuff is freshly baked bread, harp music, rooms full of plants, warm hands, fuzzy socks, aquarelle paintings, sun spots dancing on the walls, picking apples right off the branches, analog photography, collecting postcards, loving movies, painting your nails in bright colors, honeysuckle, walking barefoot on grass, being blinded by the sunset, making tea for people you love, wild roses, loving nature shows, wanting to pet every animal you see, warm sweaters, wanting to learn a million new things at once, helping your friends with their homework, the sudden burst of affection for your friends, always commenting on your friends social media posts and hyping them up. - House Associations, part three out of four (one, two, three, four)
“ugh i hate being critical of all the media i consume” as a natural born hater i do not have this problem
Ravenclaw is long train rides, watching history documentaries, daydreaming as procrastination, running an art tumblr, listening to film scores and musical songs, Reflections by Toshifumi Hinata, well read books with notes scribbled in the margins, reading the news while having breakfast, being a good listener but never knowing what to say, learning languages, making online friendships, enjoying organized things but never organizing anything, watching commentary videos on youtube, listening to podcasts, bathing in moonlight, visiting museums, drinking green tea, the smell of books. - House Associations, part two out of four (one, two, three, four)

Slytherin is satin sheets, perfecting all your talents, fascinated with true crime, bat wing sleeves, heels clicking on pavement, rain smattering on the windows, looking up at the sky on a dark night, touching the surface of a lake with your hand and watching the ripples, wearing black turtlenecks, light jewelry, silver, mahogany, french, black ink, quoting poems in conversations, the beautiful dark haired stranger on the metro, empty train stations, relating to tragic characters, breathing in fresh outside air after being inside for too long, the smell of rain on asphalt, wet hair, noticing details, long playlists with classical music, faded photographs and pale spring days. - House Associations, part one out of four (one, two, three, four)
