she spent the whole summer teaching it to her sisters and cousins cause in the noble house of Black 'Silencio' was used on them for even the slightest of misbehaves

and from then on they finally were able to communicate thorough this <3

and I just know that later in life they used it solely to talk shit about their parents during family dinners <333

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

WE NEED TO PUT SOME RESPECT ON GINNY WEASLEY'S NAME

[lolathestoryteller]

ok, but imagine a His Dark Materials “parent trap” au??

Lyra’s got a twin sister called Aurora (if you know, you know).

obviously, Lyra’s grown up with Asriel in Oxford, whilst Aurora grew up in London with Marisa.

They meet one summer, at St. Sophia’s summer school, when both their parents are away (separately, of course) on respective work trips to the north.

They don’t get along at all at first (as it is) because Lyra thinks Aurora to be this high-handed, posh girl, who couldn’t climb a roof if her life depended on it, whilst Aurora sees Lyra as a poorly dressed, at best mediocrely educated wildling, who cannot even tell the difference between a butter knife and a dinner knife.

After their prank contest degenerates, ergo they’re being sent to a different room outside the main college campus, they finally give each other a chance, and realize that they are not as different as they thought; they eventually find out the truth thanks to their respective halves of the same old, crinkly photograph they’ve both nicked from their parents folders.

On the last day, they switch roles, going to the others home and pretending to be the other person, to get to know their mother/father.

Yeah, I think we all know how the story goes, but how cool would such an au be?

Idk, this just sounded so good in my head.

Can somebody write this, please?🥹 (she could write it herself but is too lazy, cry)

I sometimes think about the look on Marisa’s face here. The utter confusion she’s felt, you can see it in her eyes; she’s confused, maybe overwhelmed, because she didn’t expect Lyra to just hug her like that. And what I think surprised her more still was the fact that she liked being hugged by Lyra.

After that, she tried so hard to control, and as she’s said “mold” Lyra, because for the first time in a long time, Marisa wasn’t entirely able to control herself.

Despite of how much she might have denied it at the beginning, I reckon she fell in love (in a motherly sense I mean) with Lyra in this very moment.

Dinner at Jordan; an act. She was mostly curious, perhaps mildly concerned about Lyra falling into the hands of the Gobblers (thanks to her own project — major side eye), but the act stopped in that scene, I think.

She tried to fight it at first, but she didn’t stand a chance against her feelings for Lyra, as we’re well aware.

Her love was, with no doubt, toxic, but it was real all the same.

You know when you get one of those readers who comments on every chapter of your fic, pointing out their favorite parts and quoting lines that really resonated with them?

Yeah, as a writer, this is an absolute gift. ❤️
