Wingardium Leviosa Potter, you were named so that every time a teacher yells at you they’re going to make stuff fly around the room. Your mother wanted to call you Fred, but I thought this would be more true to his memory.
when i was really little, my babysitter only spoke spanish with me so i became bilingual but i never knew when i was speaking spanish or english. one time i told my mom i wanted an avocado & she understood but then when i said the same thing to my babysitter later that day, she burst into tears with laughter because i was saying “quiero abogado” which means “i want a lawyer.”
imagine a two year old repeatedly saying “i want a lawyer!” as an adult laughs at her.
This is my friend TJ, wearing a costume she made for Halloween, 1977. She was 16 at the time.
Now, keep in mind: there was no internet to search for images. She could not have rented and paused the movie, because it wasn’t released on video until 1982. No, TJ just went to the movie a bunch of times, took notes with a flashlight, drew a bunch of sketches, and put this together.
In 19-fucking-77. So let’s bury this bullshit about how women didn’t grow up on Star Wars.
It’s super strange for me to see Shane from Buzzfeed Unsolved get all this tumblr attention because my sister was a friend of his friends in hs and I always knew him as the kid who made those Christmas lip sync videos. And now ‘it’s ya boy’ is a meme. Like what? I mean there’s a burned dvd of him and his friend’s horror movie somewhere in my parents’ basement that we still quote lines from time to time 😂??
okay putting the fact that someone thought a burned dvd meant fire burned aside (im officially old now), here’s the link to the “marshmallow world” video just in time for the holiday season. enjoy. and i hope i dont incur the wrath of buzzfeed for posting this ✌️
oh. my. GOD.
thank you so much for this, I. I don’t. I don’t have words. I. I cannt stop laughing.
