March is a trumpet flower,
And April a crocus wild;
May is a harebell slender
With the clear blue eyes of a child;
July is the cup of a tulip
Where gold and crimson meet;
And August a tiger lily,
Tawny with passion and heat;
But Thou art the rose of the world,
Precious, and glowing, and sweet.
Fair is the flush of the dawning
Over the face of the sky;
Sweet is the tangle of music
From wild birds fluttering by;
Brilliant the glow of the sunset,
And graceful the bound of the deer;
Glad is the laugh of the children,
Ringing like joy bells clear;
But what can compare with thy beauty
O red, red rose of the year!

feel free to send me a message or anon if there are people missing (which I know there are)!
Because people asked me, I made some more Harry Potter Characters with AI, all still based on the descriptions and prompts from @breaniebree for her story and Universe of ASC
The only one I didn't manage to get right was Ginny, I just wasn't able to get a redhead girl with brown eyes who had her "distinctive look" for some reason lol
Starting with Harry, I sadly didn't manage the lightning Bolt scar.
Prompt: "A 20 year old man called Harry potter, with a sharp jawline, emerald green eyes, dark stubble beard, messy black hair, round glasses and a small lightning bolt scar on his forehead"
Next would be Ginny Weasley and for some reason, I just didn't get her right, mainly the eye colour but she also looks a bit too "innocent" lol!
Prompt: "A brave, strong-minded 20 year old woman with a determined look on her face called Ginny Weasley looking like Bonnie Wright, dark brown eyes, fiery hair and lots of freckles"
I also tried it without having Bonnie wright as a reference!
After that we have Hermione.
Prompt: "A 20 year old woman called Hermione Granger looking like Emma Watson with brown eyes and brown, unruly, curly hair"
Next one would be Draco Malfoy who is pretty spot on in my opinion!
Prompt: "A white blond 20 year old good looking man called Draco Malfoy looking like Tom Felton, black suit, dark gloomy"
Next Blaise Zabini, is also alright!
Prompt: A 20 year old good looking man called Blaise Zabini as a mix of Rege-Jean Page and Shemar Moore, dark suit, smug look
Next is Tonks again, just because the world can't have enough Tonks on it.
Prompt: "A 25 year old cool looking woman called Nymphadora Tonks looking like Keira Knightley with grey eyes and short pink hair"
Next is Walburga Black, Sirius´ Mum, which turned out good in my opinion!
Prompt: "A 40 year old beautiful evil looking woman called Walburga Black looking like Eva Green in a beautiful black dress, dark, gloomy"
Next would be Barty Crouch Jr, who is scary lol
Prompt: "A deranged 30 year old man called Barty Jr looking like Bill Skarsgard smiling, dark robes, dark gloomy"
Next the Greengrass Sisters starting with Daphne who turned out great in my opinion!
Prompt: "An arrogant beautiful 20 year old woman called Daphne Greengrass looking like Blake Lively, wizarding dress"
And her younger sister Astoria Greengrass, also turned out good!
Prompt: "A beautiful 20 year old woman called Astoria Greengrass looking like Katie McGrath"
Next, two Brothers and not the nicest of companions, starting with Rabastan Lestrange
Prompt: "An evil looking man called Rabastan lestrange looking like Cillian Murphy, dark suit, dark gloomy"
And his older brother Rodolphus Lestrange
Prompt: " A 40 year old evil looking man called Rodolphus lestrange looking like Peter Greene, dark wizarding robe, dark gloomy"
Next, something I tried, I am not too sure of, Augusta Longbottom, the Vulture hat sadly didn't work.
Prompt: "A confident, good looking 60 year old lady called Augusta longbottom with a determined look on her face in a wizarding dress"
Next, an Original Character, created by @breaniebree, Fiadh Alexander a Fae, also Fred Weasley´s Girlfriend.
Prompt: "A 25 year old beautiful woman called Fiadh Alexander looking like Tiana Benjamin with pale skin short straight black hair and emerald green eyes"
And speaking of Fred, we have the Twins Fred and George Weasley! (Fred on the left, and George with a beard on the right)
Prompt: "Two 20 year happy looking men, they are twins, called Fred and George Weasley, looking like Kenneth Bek, with red-orange hair and stubble, right one with a beard"
And at the end another great Original Character by @breaniebree Sebastian Kane, but Iam not too sure if he meets her expectations lol
Prompt: "A 25 year old man called Sebastian Kane looking like Francis Cadieux with dark brown hair and light blue eyes, stubble and broad shoulders"

- the office (tv)
idk it’s just entertaining and a great show to rewatch over and over again (not a jim fan tho tbh)
- heartstopper (tv)
i LOVE nick and charlie’s relationship, i find nick’s struggle with his sexuality relatable, i loved s2 imogen and i cant wait to see more of her (i think she’s a lesbian tbh), most of all, i love the representation it brings to younger queer kids, the kind i didn’t have and wish i did.
- thor: ragnarok (movie)

- bbc merlin (tv)
i can’t even rewatch this show. like it makes me so sad. but i read fanfic about it every. single. day. only watched cause katie mcgrath is in it and now im obsessed with merthur fanfic.
- red, white and royal blue (movie)
pls it’s so good i can’t even explain
- supergirl (tv)
honestly not even one of my favourites but i loved having a woman superhero!!!! even if the script sucked, especially in the later seasons (forced feminism and queerbaiting). at least there was lesbianism ig ??

*****
Personal favorite: 2009
But also: 1996 (Theatrical Film), Emma Approved
P.S.: 2020′s pretty popular, from what I’ve seen. I’ve enjoyed it myself, but it’s not among my favorite.
blake mcgrath can’t choreograph that well either 🫢
yeah honestly i’ve never been a HUGE fan but he’s ok… i prefer danny.
i did like the solo he did for kinley though.
while we are on confessions let me just say i love cory and troy choreo but it gets so boring watching every kid do the same exact style of contemp basically
Tears in a maiden's eyes!
Little enough they deceive us;
Little enough do they grieve us;
Well do we know that beneath them
The joy of young life smiles and glows;
Soon into dimples and gladness
Will break the thin mist of her sadness,
As out of the showers of April
Springs upward the bloom of the rose!
Rain in the April skies!
What do we care for its falling?
Thousand faint voices low-calling
Tell that behind it the sunshine
Waits, in a passion of light,
To set the glad wild bird a-singing,
To set the wild flower-bells ringing,
To make the red rose of the morning
Burst out of the gloom of the night.
What are everyone’s thoughts on these mentorship programs that we are starting to see pop up. Most notably Blake’s McGraths mentorship and Mollee Gray and Alexa Moffetts mentorship. Are they actually worth the insane amount of money that they charge their mentees each month? Especially for an online, Zoom lesson? I’d love to hear what everyone has to say about these programs.
