I like the recent trend in flower crowns but what I want to know is why they’re all so pretty and tame and pastoral.
I want to go out and find buttonweed and foxtails and manky roadside clover and goats heads and make a flower crown out of that. I want a flower crown woven out of soft green shoots of blackberry vine. I want a flower crown that will leave me brushing burrs out of my hair.
And today on “I didn’t know there was a plant called ‘goat head’ “…
You should probably be glad you didn’t know. It’s an unobtrusive low-lying plant that grows well in dry, nutrient poor soil, with small, waxy leaves and tiny yellow flowers. The seed pods have a pair of quarter-inch long thorns on them that are fully capable of puncturing a bicycle tire - when I was a kid we had to get special solid rubber inner tubes for our bikes because you could not ride two blocks in my home town without popping a tire.
Stepping on a goat head barefoot is a special kind of hell.

man though do you ever realize that you’ve spent your whole life inside of your own mind like
everything that you know is experienced inside of it and as part of it
and my mind really does feel like its own universe sometimes because it’s so big and so vast and there’s nobody inside of it…
Ah man sometimes I get weird about my headspace and I’m not even sure whether it’s a variation on what you’re talking about or the complete opposite.
Like, ok, I can kind of perceive my personas for interacting with other people as kind of nebulously existing in my mind but when I get down to it there’s not a lot of measurable difference between the Characters I Play in terms of going to work or church or interacting with family and friends or whatever, and the Characters I Play when I’m intentionally putting on an identity that is Other from myself (like when roleplaying or cosplaying or sometimes even just when I’m getting really into a piece of writing or worldbuilding) and then it’s like… ok, so there’s this inner space that I’ve got these identities as kind of a buffer for but they’re not me, then who is me, who is the observer? And I can’t get a good answer to that because I never directly touch on anything outside of my own mind so I can’t get a frame of reference. It’s a little disconcerting.

cygnahime replied to your post: I like the recent trend in flower crowns but what…
I have spent way too much time extracting burrs from my hair to want this. On the other hand: make flower crowns for your rivals out of poison ivy for that Medea touch.
I should probably mention that I don’t have very much hair right now anyway, and I’m fairly certain that we don’t have much in the way of really clingy burrs around here

Well, they’re supposed to value learning, which isn’t necessarily the same thing as smart. Although I think you’re plenty clever!
(Anyway sorting has as much to do with what you’d want to develop in yourself as what traits you already have. If you don’t like your existing Slytherin-ish traits, the Hat probably wouldn’t put you in Slytherin.)
Also hon, even if I were willing to conceed that you are a “dillweed,” which I’m not… I mean, Ravenclaws include Padma Patil and Anthony Goldstein. Slytherin house doesn’t exactly have a monopoly on unpleasant.
Also wasn’t Gilderoy Lockhart a Ravenclaw?
I believe he was, yes.
Freaking Lockhart.
Maybe later I will write up a more comprehensive analysis of Ravenclaw values and behavior within the larger Hogwarts community but right now I need to go to bed.
Pretty much everyone on tumblr is a Slytherin and I’m just here like
Ravenclaw~
ive seen a lot of hufflepuffs though
I rarely see anything besides slytherins honestly
I think Ravenclaws are actually pretty common, we just tend to be a bit quieter about ~house pride~ than the other houses, maybe because we are too busy reading big books and rolling our eyes at everyone else to get outwardly aggressive.
When I go to people blogs though I rarely see Ravenclaws. It’s always Slytherin with the occasional Hufflepuff here and there. I still don’t understand how I got Ravenclaw considering I hate reading as much as I do. (also I’m incredibly dim witted aren’t Ravenclaws supposed to be smart?)

and here we have harry potter literally standing on a pile of letters to try and catch one that is still in the air. there are clearly reasons why he doesn’t get sorted into ravenclaw
