-Hogwarts Houses-

• slytherin: Cold and grey skyes, smell of new books, hands full of ink, friction, being silent, getting as a present a relic that belonged to your family, a silver ring in your index finger, cracking your knuckles, ruins of a great building, writing in your books, framing your diploma, wondering, the universe, pain in your chest from crying, feeling too much, biting your pen, feeling unable to show your love for your loved ones, looking as if you were thinking of something great.

-Reader Type-

-Types of Girls-

• autumn girls: a soft heart that is continuously being healed and broken. a poet that associates every little thing with a person or a memory. bullet journals filled with dreams and pressed flowers and plane tickets. road trips together under the starlit sky, but also lazy afternoons on the sofa. photographs can’t capture their entire beauty. they make you want to do everything and be everything. a quiet beauty that grows more radiant the more you know them. they make you excited to be alive.

-Writer Aesthetics-

• f. scott fitzgerald: mahogany wood, crisp winter skies with cold bright stars, the solitude of an early autumn morning wrapped in fog, empty bottles on stacks and stacks of books haphazardly placed in a messy room, pale bruised arms reaching out into the darkness, cigarette smoke just barely hiding the scent of alcohol, a wall of books all poetry and old and weathered, a bad thunderstorm occurring at the end of a beautiful day, the way tragedy strikes in your heart but ends up stopping your breathing for a moment, your favorite sweater, parties spilling into four a.m. with the stars above spinning and dancing, the contrast of blood against snow, a purple split lip oozing blood, black eyes fading to blue to pale skin, the butterflies of falling in love for the first time, the statues falling apart over time in cemeteries, the romanticization of self-destruction.

-Flowers-

• dahlia: exploring empty shopping malls, the sheen of lip gloss, crushed velvet gowns, sipping glasses of mulled wine, driving along a highway at night, quiet music playing in a lounge room, switching on a lamp and reading a classic book next to it

-Winter Words-

• apricity [the sun’s warmth in winter]: pillow fights, freshly baked cookies, silences broken with birdsong, hushed laughter, running across cold grass, marshmallows melting into mugs of hot chocolate, the unexpected colours of winter flowers, rays of light weaving through the branches of trees that stretch up to greet the sky
