That site is cool, but I have a bone to pick with them. WTH is the Hufflepuff pen green? ETA woah that was huge. Weird.

I always feel like a liar when I buy Gryffindor stuff. I always get put in Slytherin. I shout at the hat not Slytherin but it gives no shits.

I really wanted to be in Slytherin. I liked their colors and logo better. The sorting hat decided twice that I am a gryffindor. It took a long time for me to come to terms with it. Now I wear it proudly, ya know, like a lion. 😂

I’m constantly cold, and their living area is in the dungeons. Like no thanks to dark and dingy cold living.

I'm big into geek cookbooks right now. I got b&n giftcards from my FIL for my birthday and am now the proud owner of The Geeky Chef, The Geeky Chef Strikes Back, and The Wizarding Cookbook. To add to my collection of Nerdy Nummies, Baking Wizardry, and the Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. Can't stop, won't stop. Those look awesome marygracerich . I'm so jealous that of you going to Leaky Con. I want to go! Cooking for Geeks is pretty cool too. I looked at that, but it seemed more food science-y

marygracerich, those are gypsy moth nests, not spider webs! They're full of caterpillars. Not great for the trees, but no spiders!

Oh shit I had the wrong thread while yakking about my birthday. Sorry guys.
But here's some fandom ramblings: I got sucked back into the debt of time again and coming up for air is like...what do you mean Harry Potter is just a story? Also I prefer the chronological version, weirdly enough. It conjures new mental pictures instead of thinking about Emma Watson and Gary oldman.

You know if these stories had come out even a few years ago the fandom would be freaking out. But now it feels like too little too late. I’m up in my feelings and even tumblr is just really quiet. It hurts

It hurts Yeah most of my DW follows on Tumblr have been dead for a while. How are the stories though? I love me some Rose Tyler and her and 10s story is like my kryptonite. You can dump all of your feels on me if you wanna!

Ill never get over the fact that they made everyone so damn old in the movies. Like Sirius was in his damn 30s Azkaban or not lol. I have been thinking about a reread lately, but damn it theres so much stuff I want to read.

You can dump all of your feels on me if you wanna! You’re on tumblr? Same name? I thought they were good. You can really tell that RTD helped moved the process along since this was kind of in the works to be a show but never happened. I’ve gotten through the first three and was feeling my heart strings pulling. There wasn’t a ton of pining, but Rose was on a mission and she’s just Rose ya know?

You can dump all of your feels on me if you wanna! You’re on tumblr? Same name? I thought they were good. You can really tell that RTD helped moved the process along since this was kind of in the works to be a show but never happened. I’ve gotten through the first three and was feeling my heart strings pulling. There wasn’t a ton of pining, but Rose was on a mission and she’s just Rose ya know? No I go by WillowOdair there and on AO3. Its mostly Teen Wolf stuff these days, as I mentioned most of my DW blogs arent very active anymore I love that RTD was involved. He is such an amazing story teller. I was hit or miss with Moffatt, he writes himself into corners and then pulls some BULLSHIT to get out of it, he works better when there is someone there to kind f temper his ideas ya know? And Matt Smith was just incredible so that I think was the only thing that saved it. And from what Ive heard Chinball is kind of disappointing and boring. Which doesnt actually surprise me because while I loved Broadchurch it was slow as fuck and I really only kept watching because my H was so into it. Like he was MOVED by it. I had the hardest time with Capaldi being the Doctor, mostly because I felt like there were a few episodes where he showed like pure disdain for humans, which is ridiculous because even after the events of Midnight and Time Lord Victorious the Doctor loves humanity and they really dropped the ball with Capaldi IMO. I hated the spider moon episode sooooo much. It was like instant DW boner killer. So I never actually watched anything past his first season, even though I enjoyed his War speech and some of the stuff Ive seen on Tumblr. Then of course there was all the discourse with Jodie Whittakeer becoming the Doctor and dividing the fandom and Ive read a lot that says she is doing her damnedest but the writing is just missing the mark. Which I think has been happening since RTD left in all reality. I will always love Rose, I know she gets a lot of hate but I found her to be a fairly relatable character and was crucial to the Doctor forgiving himself while also just being a badass who really evolved into a strong woman who literally jumped universes partly because she loved the Doctor but also because like the Doctor she wants to help.

Im reading the first one with the kids right now. Im reading out loud from my illustrated copy and then my nieces are following along in their own copies of the book. But its funny because I am reading the British version so every time I read a word thats different we have a tiny vocab lesson.
