Please date someone who actually wants to experience life with you. Not just dinner & sex. I’m taking Museums, cooking classes, festivals, pottery, concerts, bookstores, road trips, random adventures.. EVERYTHING.
Sometimes the point of the trip is to eat something good, stare at a body of water, and remember who tf you are.
You don't always have to have a jam-packed itinerary!
I cannot express to you how much I want to be in a show like this. Like how much fun must it be to get the script and you’re like “omg it’s a VOLCANO this time?? let’s gooo”
Never forget what white folks did to his body. He was beheaded, dissected, and skinned. They cut off body parts to keep and made a purse of his skin. His skull was passed down thru generations for 180yrs before it was returned to his descendants.
Never let them call us animals.
As this story goes viral, it's my responsibility as a residential school historian and expert on denialism to point out: the evidence about large numbers of child death and unmarked burials at residential school is already freely, publicly available: https://t.co/yKLstzEJwg
Ollivander’s wand shop should’ve gone out of business a long, long time ago.
Harry pays seven Galleons for a wand, which sounds reasonable until you actually think about what goes into making one.
If a wand costs seven Galleons, Ollivander has to be making them for significantly less just to cover rent, materials, his time, and still make a profit.
But then you have wands made with unicorn hair.
Ron’s two wands, Draco’s, Cedric’s and Lupin’s all use unicorn hair, and Slughorn tells us unicorn hairs cost ten Galleons each.
So Ollivander is already losing at least three Galleons on the material alone before you even factor in the wood, his time, craftsmanship and everything else that goes into making the wand.
And the customers are terrible for business too.
Most people buy their wand at eleven and keep it for the rest of their lives. The wand chooses the wizard, so it’s not like people are coming back every few years for a replacement.
Sure, people like Ron and Neville can end up with hand-me-downs, but that’s even worse for Ollivander because he isn’t getting a new sale.
So who exactly is keeping this business alive?
His customers mostly buy one wand when they’re eleven, they’re likely all shopping around the summer holidays, and then they disappear for decades.
Meanwhile, Ollivander has to pay for materials, his own time, and presumably a pretty expensive shop in the middle of Diagon Alley.
Considering Ollivanders was apparently established in 382 BC, this shop should’ve gone bankrupt centuries ago.
How the hell is Ollivander making money?
