this certain dynamic abt millywood that goes beyond wolfwood simply yearning for milly—how he deems her as a mother, a lover, an enemy, a friend, a curse, a salvation—how milly becomes a symbol he can't put into a word, and it scares him and he wants to bury himself in it and beg for forgiveness all the same...
wolfwood knowing he has nothing to be forgiven of (that he's a sinful, sinful man) but THE YEARNING FOR ONE. the thought of how getting close to her feels like it'll melt away his 'impurities' (which is him entirely, he'll be GONE), but still clinging to her as both humanity and a heretic icon of worship......
A friend gave me a candle-making kit for Christmas that included dye blocks, and dropping dye blocks into hot wax makes for a pretty awesome visual.
[ID: A short video showing a block of purple dye dissolving into hot liquid candle wax; the dye creates strange irregular scallop patterns at first. Eventually a spoon enters the picture to stir the wax and dye up together, sending it into a spiral pattern before the dye permeates the wax. There is no sound except, at one point, for the clank of the spoon being picked up before it enters frame.]
“Cleared: of all charges posed as a minor under duress per threat of life and magic - including that of being cursed with the Dark Mark. In concern for his war-influenced actions during residency of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: the accused will be held no more responsible than that of his fellow peers: also cleared.
“In concern of Mr. Draco Lucius Malfoy’s nonfeasance during residency of his family home, the Wizengamot has ruled that after a careful evaluation of Pensieve evidence provided by one Harry James Potter, one late Severus Snape via dying declaration, and one Narcissa Malfoy née Black - recently acquitted: a requirement of 3 months probation and mandatory Mind Healer evaluation is to be completed by Mr. Malfoy and then verified by a Ministry-appointed specialist and probationary-auror guard.”
He was alive, with his wand, his soul, and the tattered remains of his dignity. It was… good, yes?
Today I learned that the phrase 月がきれいですね (tsuki ga kirei desu ne?), which translates into "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" essentially implies "I love you".
It's apparently used in that context in JP pop culture a lot and I'm just dskjfhdsj. That's so cute and poetic? Like??
