what are your favorite quotes about faith in DYH??
Hi friend! This is such a lovely ask. Here are my favorites:
"And if I try to remove that doubt, then I remove everything that gives that faith meaning. Otherwise, it’s just blind submission."
"But my faith is mine alone. It is whatever I make of it. At the end of the day, the church is made up of people, and people are deeply flawed. I don’t look to them to give me reason to believe because they will let me down."
"Maybe God isn’t all powerful like they say he is. Maybe once the chaos of the world was set in motion after free will took over, it all went to shit. I don’t know. But if I think for a moment that maybe, just maybe, if there is a God that watches over the entirety of a vast universe, that maybe he stopped everything to hold my mother’s hand so that she wouldn’t be alone when she died, then I... "
And I could really quote the whole of Father Lupin's eulogy, honestly, but this one sticks out the most:
"Faith is a shout into the dark,” Remus said, his voice suddenly thick and troubled. “It is a grief-stricken, gut-wrenching scream of agony into an otherwise endless void. It is a desperate cry for help, to someone that you can only hope is out there, that you can only hope is listening to you.” He paused, taking in an unsteady breath as he found Sirius’ tear-filled gaze and held it resolutely. “Faith is a soft sob of ‘I don’t want to live here anymore, can I come and stay with you?’ that is swiftly answered with a resounding and enthusiastic response of ‘Of course you can, you don’t even need to ask'."

Helicopter by Maisie Peters is THE bucktommy song.
Babe, without me, you are just so defenseless
From motorbikes and girls who might try break your heart
So I'm pretty sure that I should make you breakfast
And then I should never leave the front seat of your car
You are important, so of course it maddens me
When you're nonchalant about your own mortality
Please be more careful when you cross the road
You're a perfect arrangement of rickety bones
So forgive me, if I hover close
I'm a helicopter 'cause I love you so
Oh, bare with me
Darling you should know
I'm a helicopter 'cause I love you so
It's not interfering if you can't be trusted
To treasure that heart like I do
Your sense of danger is antique and rusted
And mine's razor sharp, oh, when it comes to you
When you wait for a train, don't cross the yellow line
Don't run with scissors and don't text and drive
Call me the minute you get to your dad's
I'll be worried all night and I won't wanna ask

OKAY so I finally got to watch Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins and like. That was brilliant?? I saw the mixed reviews when it came out and got worried but couldn't see it at the cinema because of stuff that was going on and I JUST finished it and OH MY GOD?? I LOVED IT
Not as good as Boy or like Hunt for the Wilderpeople but it was a hell of a lot better than some other stuff I've seen recently honestly I really liked it
This man can do no wrong honestly it was beautiful

as much as i love romance it’s so cathartic even to purposefully write something about love that is not about romance. about other kinds of love
