ah yes. the classic “I can’t sleep because it will be tomorrow in an instant and tomorrow requires things of me and I Simply Do Not Vibe With That”. so I’ll go through said tomorrow on 2 hours of sleep. very smart and once again no lessons will be learned
I accidentally changed a setting on my keyboard and while trying to fix it (no luck) I discovered that my phone has obtained German Duolingo stickers out of nowhere, which is both whimsical and totally on brand with Duo’s creepy stalker vibe. I’m scared.
Me during this entire quarantine
I just read “Hufflepuff isn’t a house where you can stick people who don’t fit in the other houses”
But the thing is? It literally it is, Helga Hufflepuff said she would take the rest.
She preferred the loyal and hardworking for her house, but felt that everyone should have a chance. Not a Gryffindor, a Slytherin, or a Ravenclaw? Not a loyal, hardworking Hufflepuff either?
Well that’s okay. Helga Hufflepuff founded her house believing anyone should be given a chance at Hogwarts. Those four archetypes aren’t all that matter, and if you don’t fit any of them Hufflepuff will still welcome you.
Godric/Rowena/Salazar were perfectly happy to say “You don’t fit into our houses, you can’t come to Hogwarts” and it was only Helga who was willing to say “You might not fit my ideals of a student, but you can still be in my house”
Like. I think that’s super cool. I don’t like it when people shoehorn Hufflepuff into being one and the same like the rest of the houses, sure, loyalty, hardworking, kindness.. that’s the priority.. but it’s truly a place for everyone. And that’s where Hufflepuff’s kindness shines the most.
‘I’ll teach the lot
And treat them just the same.’‘Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest
and taught them all she knew’Hufflepuff’s pride as a house comes not only from loyalty, hardworking, toil, and kindness, but from diversity. Something the other founders did not realize the importance of.
How I love the Norwegian Royal Family, let me count the ways.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra read at the outdoor church service to mark her mothers 40th birthday. Crown Princess Mette-Marit walked her up and was just so proud of her. Crown Prince Haakon adjusted the microphone. Marius didnt want none of that lovey-dovey stuff going on in his lap. And Sverre Magnus at the end jumping up to applaud his sister.
What Ingrid-Alexandra read:
Lord, make me channel of your peace!
Let me bring love where hatred reigns.
Let me bring pardon where injustice.
Let me create consensus where controversy reigns.
Let me bring faith where doubt reigns.
Let me bring truth where error reigns.
Let me bring light where darkness broods.
Let me bring joy where sorrow and burden reigns!
Oh Master! Let me not so much seek to be consoled as to console.
Not so much to be understood as to understand.
Not so much to be loved as to love!
For it is through that one and that one gets.
It is by forgetting self that one finds oneself.
It is by forgiving others that they themselves will be forgiven!
It is by dying that one occurs to eternal life!
Amen
