Wally Clark being an absolutely wreck in the background the entire episode?
Yeah, that broke me
My New Year’s resolution is to finally finish a wip, whether it’s this year or the next, or ten years from now, I will not abandon the works I have started
Just in case you’d like a lil bit of a headcanon for why they didn’t even SPEAK during this beautiful and heartbreaking scene, here’s a lil oneshot
SCHOOL SPIRITS — 2.08 "Fire, Talk to Me"
i’m reading interviews from the executive producers and they’re saying wally telling maddie he wants her to stay in ep 7 is a breakthrough for wally because it’s the first time he’s realizing what he wants and sharing it with somebody instead of going along with what everyone else thinks 😭
“But she didn’t give up. It was a battle, apparently, the kind he hasn’t played in a very long while. Hermione Granger played very well, George soon learned. She could play the long game. She could outsmart anyone, he already knew that, but battle strategies? Warfare? Color him impressed.”

I also love the idea of 20 year old Lilith, full of justice and free of spirit, coming into her power and ready to level the playing field— to liberate Navarre from the venin threat. Is she read in to the secret before her peers? Does her signet give her top secret clearance? The hopes for her future are high. Yes the stakes are real, but she is the balance.
Only to end in tragedy when she realizes before her 21st birthday that she’s nothing— nothing compared to the strength of Theophanie.
Every time she wields, she hears the taunts of the venin Sage, telling her she’s not good enough. Every accomplishment in the Navarre army— empty. Hollow.
Each of her children’s births— swallowing the all-consuming fear that she couldn’t protect them if Theophanie came knocking.
The weight is crushing, actually. Oh, it hurts.
“She’s their answer to my mother.” — “She was the answer to me,” Theophanie hisses, and the clouds start to swirl.
“Your mother knew at your age that she was no match for me. That’s why she hid behind those wards. Perhaps you should have followed her example.”
I'm sorry, all I got from this was that those two were in a cat-and-mouse game for 30+ years, which could mean nothing...
I think it’s still weird that Janet and Mr. Martin slow danced on her very last day with the other ghosts. And it’s also weird that Mr. Martin said his watch belongs to her, that it’s a symbol.
Can someone please write a hilarious and accurate Derry Girls / Harry Potter universe crossover? I just recently finished Derry Girls and now equipped with a very basic knowledge of ‘90s Ireland, imagining those Muggleborn girls in Hogwarts surrounded by the ENGLISH? Unmatched potential, that is.
Hi I literally have such existential dread about my fanfic like I had such high hopes it would be well received and loved and supported and it’s not so does that make me fake for craving love instead of being content honing the craft??? Yeah I’m a poser lol the spiraling is real
THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER!!!
