When I was walking to the car park after finishing school, some girls (around six of them) from the neighboring public school walked past me and said “She looks like she’s just step foot out of Hogwarts” followed by laughter and everyone agreeing with this girl.

Their aim was to upset me but I saw it as a compliment. The funny thing though, is that my college (which I had just left the gates of) looks like Hogwarts and was said to have inspired the look of it. Old picture attached and cropped so I don’t get doxxed for reference

I had a dream last night there was, like, some kinda 4-Chan campaign to cyber bully you for not being a “real wizard” but every time someone would try to send you a tumblr ask with a curse in it, you would just reply with an image of a face wrapped up with cobwebs and covered in spiders. Each picture had a different face in it and people figured out pretty soon that they were all the people who were trying to Witch-Hunt you, and there ended up being a bit of a debate about whether it counted as doxxing, but in the end it didn’t matter because it turns out that all the people in the images went missing without a trace the exact same instant that their picture was posted. I don’t remember much else except for there was a popular hashtag about it that was something like Hashtag PuritansGetPIDERS

high off the drug that is video piracy

it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.
