dervish and banges

I reached my first hundred so I thought I’d do some URL inspired graphics to celebrate! To get one:

Please be following moi;

Reblog this post;

Preferably have some kind of Doctor Who URL, but I’ll do Harry Potter ones too

Maybe check out some of my edits?

The graphic will have your URL in the caption

I will try to do them all but it may take a while

CHOCOLATE IS POISONOUS FOR DOGS

the weaponization of positivity stretches beyond that. fred and george weasley’s inventions, meant for laughter, turn into arms against umbridge’s regime. and after their departure from hogwarts, their joke shop becomes not only the single bright spot in diagon alley (literally & figuratively) but a hub of defensive magic. the whole weasleys’ wizard wheezes narrative serves as maybe the clearest example in the series that happiness can act as both shield and sword.

there is something deeply empowering in a depiction of happiness as something so tangible and usable. as a profoundly depressed person, i often feel myself scrounging for happy memories and clutching them close; i find myself grasping for laughter in the dark. the physicalization of expecto patronum is not a quantum leap from reality. the boggart’s laughter as combat fuel, the weasleys’ levity as not just a choice but a difficult and defiant one—it’s all familiar.
