#losver is a huge nerd

[losver07]

i was thinking of the marauders (unexpected i know) & thought "wow peter is sooo boy scout coded" & then realised THEY ALL ARE like hear me out on this

peter: the "noooo i dont wanna wake uuup i dont care if its raininnnng lemme sleeeep", incredibly good with maps ("oh i know this place like the palm of my hand" tho they are in the middle of nowhere), "guys i brought macadamia nuts for snacks :)" (he's the only one who likes them), entered the group later than the others but is very committed

remus: cares a lot about the environment ("EH DO YOU KNOW WHAT A BLOODY TRASH BIN IS?"), "are you gonna eat that? thanks mate", obsessed with wood carving & knives for some reason, always injured but always keeps going ("i am as capable as anyone" but he's trying to hike a mountain with a sprained ankle), starts talking about botanics as if it were band names ("ooooh i fucking love camomile!"), grumpy because "i still don't get why they won't let me have my fucking morning coffee" but also the kind to stop & take breath while very philosophically saying "guys look at the view", crazy about morse code & trail markings

sirius: acts like he doesn't care but shows up early to every reunion, "can i organise this? i love telling children what to do" (kids absolutely love him), sneaks in his phone & cigarettes to camp because if he doesn't smoke he can't sleep (remus smokes with him), is incredibly good at tying knots, has creative ideas and writes the most deep & heartbreaking things but never shares with the rest of the group, his scarf/necker is full of pins & likes to make bracelets with threads or grass, cares a lot about social issues and i mean A LOT

james: has a heart of gold, helps people on the street out of spite ("we're still scouts even when we're not at camp"), "okay guys we HAVE to win this, we are going to be THE BEST TEAM to play capture the flag EVER" (he's mad about capture the flag i am very serious about this), takes a picture with every animal he sees, "wdym it's cold? it's 50°, that's like, a lot", also loves walking & hiking, & always offers to help cooking or organising activities, always the first to start singing while they're walking & then everyone else joins in

so we were doing an exercise in my english class at school and apparently i was the only one who knew the word “shack” so when my teacher asked where i got that vocabulary from i had to hold myself back not to say “actually i read a fanfiction...���

like how do i explain a 50yr old man (hes an hp fan too btw) that i know about the shrieking shack from a 188 chapter marauders fanfiction and have actually not finished reading the actual books yet?

how do i convince a grown man that four dead gay wizards from the 70s are more important to me than the actual main characters of the franchise?

[losver07]

my dad (professional nerd & screenwriter): you see, she is actually the main character here, since the whole movie was a phantasy that she made up in her mind, and you can sense her presence throughout the whole film without noticing it; for example, all the times they say "there is no band," what they're telling you (and she is telling herself) is this is not real, you're actually watching something that's imagined. that's why the characters start crying, because trough the music they subconsciously understood that their world was fake, made up, that they were not actually there and none of that was happening

me: lol yay depressed lesbians

3:03 is not enough i need the boy by the smashing pumpkins to keep playing until i am fucking buried

me forgetting that i am a terrible nerd for a second:

my spotify dj: and here's that one specific song from the interstellar ost you listened to for two weeks on repeat and cried A LOT over! you love it, don't you?

me: y-yes...

[losver07]

heyyyy just made a quiz about the kinda person you would be in a zombie apocalypse so um yeaaah if youre as much of a nerd as i am you can go check it out lol

[losver07]

i love being a scout cause people think youre inside of some sort of religious cult and meanwhile youre in the forest with your gay vegetarian friends hugging trees and singing taylor swift like "aw man i do love walnuts"

[losver07]

okay i just found this old post and WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK i think im going to write my fucking thesis about this im fucking crying

like

fuck fuck fuck my brain is melting

am i the only one who just hates mirrors? like i can stand them in real life but if i’m watching a film (especially horror movies) or reading a book and there is a mirror i feel like it always implies something negative, like self-hatred or shame or betrayal

idk but if you think about it, if we relate mirrors to negative concepts in films we also start to relate them in real life, and just as so we link those “bad” things with our reflection

isn't that a problem? like we unconsciously end up hating ourselves because of culture, if an author reflects their pain in metaphors we relate the objects of those metaphors with the original pain and, consequently, with the real life, with our lives
