“Summertime and Christmas. That’s when I have her. Been that way for seven years. When she’s not in school, she’s with me. Then at the end of the summer I bring her back to her Mom’s house in Florida. Those drop-offs are the worst; I almost miss my flight every time. I wait until the last possible second to call my uber for the airport. I hug her, say goodbye, put my stuff in the car. Then I always gotta come back again and get my last kiss. Always, always. That uber ride sucks. That plane ride sucks. Cause I know I’m not going to see her for a few months. On the wall in my closet we keep track of her height. And every time she comes back, she’s grown like two inches. That’s a lot. That’s a lot I don’t see. But she knows she can call me for whatever, which she does. And whenever she’s here she gets to be the CEO of our lives. She’s not a dictator or anything. But she’s the president. I’m the people. When she says we go, we go. She wants to go to the pool, we go to the pool. She wants to go to the beach, we go to the beach. We came here today for the Juneteenth celebration. Been planning it for two weeks. I’m supposed to be at work today, but I took off early. There’s a bouncy house and face painting and all kinds of good stuff. But she didn’t want to do any of it. We stayed for two minutes. And now we’re back to feeding the animals; same thing we do every day.”
people love to shit on the failings of a classic protagonist in favor of more interesting side characters but what appeals to me about a harry potter is that he’s a huge bitch
the minister for magic will say “sirius black has escaped from azkaban prison” and harry will be like “and what do you want me, a 13 year old with much more serious 13 year old problems (can’t go to hogsmeade), to do about that 🤨?” he’ll have his first kiss with a girl he’s been crushing on for Years and his review? wet. someone will bring up his parents and he will not hesitate to tell them to put their manners back in. umbridge assures her students that voldemort hasn’t returned and he interrupts in front of the whole class with “so, according to the ministry, cedric diggory dropped dead of his own accord?” and he rocks for it.
see this is actually why harry and ginny are good together … two mean hot jocks … and in the 90s ohhhhhhh think of the VIBES … and then they got to be the bitchiest parents at the bake sale together that’s love i fear
one of my favorite uses of imagery is describing something as a “graveyard” to emphasize its lifelessness when it isn’t something you’d think at first to consider as having life to lack in the first place
