nature is healing
#this is delightful#maybe the kids are alright after all#this is the most normal thing I've heard about Gen Alphas yet#it warms the cockles of my heart#I'm glad to hear that some young people are still sneaking shit and properly individuating and not becoming a bunch of bootlickers#carry the flame

Are “prat” “git” and “berk” common British terms that people actually use or is it just a HP thing? If people do use it is it regional or class dependent? Why do you think it’s used so often in the HP world?
back at it with the ‘british nonsense’ series, is it! you know i live to oblige.
i can confirm, anon, that these are all words that british people could plausibly have used when HP was published. they’re all quite deliberately cross-class and multi-regional (perhaps a bit southern english, if anything). whether that’s by design or happy instance, i don’t know. they’re all very mild and look a bit dated now, though. ‘prat’ is still knocking about some extent, ‘berk’ remains one of my mother’s favourites, but ‘git’ has largely fallen out of use except for among those being deliberately archaic and whimsical (i can imagine boris johnson using it with little issue, as a case in point).
the reason they’re used so often in HP because they’re all considered a step below actually swearing, and so would be able to get past the very genteel bloomsbury press children’s book editor who would otherwise censor real profanity. in britain this used to be called the watershed test: there were words that were deemed unsuitable to be used in television programmes before the ‘watershed’ of 9pm (so after children are presumed to have gone to bed), so watershed words would be very much off the table in tv and most media either marketed at children or which children could plausibly consume. so all HP swearwords tend to be words that would have been allowed pre-watershed to comply with these pretty strongly held cultural norms.
it’s quite interesting to track the point at which HP becomes a bit more ok with meatier british swear words and insults. the movies were always ahead of the books on this - “bloody hell” in film 1! the scandal! - and i can vividly remember the gasps of mothers everywhere when ron dropped that infamous ‘piss off’ in GoF in 2005. when it comes to the books, OotP in 2003 has vernon saying ‘effing’ and harry is strongly implied to be dropping the f word in narration on several occasions (he’s in his feelings, angst ridden and foul mouthed to boot); by HBP, we get the first use of ‘slut’, and then of course we have our infamous ‘bitch’ drop in DH, which no doubt reflected a view of the editors that the audience was probably old enough to hear at least one good expletive.
(of course, the most accurate british insult wielded in the books is actually when ron, at the ripe old age of thirteen, canonically calls snape a cunt: ‘D’you know what that’— (he called Snape something that made Hermione say ‘Ron!’) — ‘is making me do?’’. it’s enough to make a girl feel deeply patriotic…)
#meta#british schoolboy antics that warm the cockles of my heart#that and malfoy canonically miming wanking in HBP#one for the ages

When we were his age, we ran away from home, didn’t we? Really? If we had lived there, we would have both been farmers like our grandparents.

it’s so lovely that princess bubblegum and marceline are essentially IMMORTAL it makes me want to cry… queer couples classically have tragic endings in media (bury your gays etc) but our two gals get to just be in love forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. and ever. mwah 💋

behind the news but in case you are still down with the horrid virus i wish you a speedy recovery <3
thank you my love <3 i am indeed down with the sickness and it is very boring. pretty much all i can do is watch tv, so if anyone has any shows to rec to me, please do! due to my specific setup, i also can't really use the computer for very long, so piracy is out...so specifically recs for things that are on the apps i have on my roku (hulu, viki, tubi) preferred. i have so many other things i would prefer to be doing, it's very annoying 😫 but we must persevere !
#🥰 you warm the cockles of my heart#i looked up cockles one time because like who even knows what part of the heart that is? and i think it turned out to be#some sort of marine mollusk#don't quote me on that though. probably best not to quote me on anything at the moment#you guys have all been spared from me posting every random absurb thought going through my head only by the fact that#my laptop battery is really bad and there are no 3-pronged outlets within reach of the couch#maybe i'm just thinking of that one nursery rhymes#little bells and cocklesheels all in a row or whatever#mary mary how does your garden grow??? it's coming back to me. as celine dion would say#asks#not anon#i love you <3 can't remember if i said that already

Aw the dude who founded my company and is a lawyer but is now semi-retired just asked me for the Word version of contract I drafted and he signed off on because he wants to use it as a template for a personal matter.
My little lawyer heart just went pitter patter.
#he was a litigator and not a contracts lawyer#and is a completely shit drafter#and has basically acknowledged that I’m better at contracts than he is#but still#warms the cockles of my heart#real lawblr#miro irl
