Severitus + Sirius/Lupin/Snape HC: Three men in the household and not a single one of them can cook. Like at all.
Lupin consistently only ever lived off other people’s food or 3-year old stale cereal. Puts in the milk before the cereal
Sirius lived most of his life under Pureblood housing or prison and therefore typically gets his food from bars and Molly who’d stop by time to time. His main source of sustenance is beer.
Snape has a vendetta against oil. Burnt him once as a child and tried to set it on fire in retaliation. It uh,,, backfired horribly. If there is no elf at hand he just orders take out or eats whatever random items he finds in the fridge. (Sirius refused to kiss him for three days straight after seeing him eat an entire onion whole. Raw.)
The first few weeks of living together consisted solely of take out and an assortment of items that should’ve killed them off at 20 until one day they all woke up to the fresh smell of omelette, courtesy of the small yet wonderful Harry. It was a good day.
(They all try to make him something in return only for them to get kicked out for setting literally everything on fire. The three instead just help him in allowance, shopping, and candy.)
Wait, I might be dumb for asking this, but aren’t feminine men called dandies?
in like the late 18th to early 19th century Britian, “dandy” referred to men who paid a lot of attention to personal appearances. later on it referred to a handful of kinda playfully GNC artist guys, but I don’t think it’s ever been a universal term for all feminine men
also while I was double-checking my info i found this
Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”
And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”
“Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day.”
the reason we are so obsessed with romance and why we consume it at every opportunity is because we’re looking for proof!!!!! we’re desperate for it!!! we just want to know it’s real but we never believe it not fully!!! we see two people madly in love and we swoon but that little voice in our head is always there saying it won’t last!!! by we i mean me this is an autobiographical post
