It does not do to Dwell on Dreams

‘There are all kinds of courage,’ said Dumbledore, smiling. ‘It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. I therefore award ten points to Mr. Neville Longbottom.’

— I just realized today how much more meaningful this quote is when you remember Dumbledore’s backstory. For years, Albus remained at Gellert Grindelwald’s side even as Grindelwald became more and more corrupt, simply because he was his friend. He turned a blind eye to the immorality of Gellert’s plans. He couldn’t bring himself to stand up to Grindelwald because he didn’t want to jeopardize their friendship. Even as an adult, he didn’t confront Grindelwald until it was nearly too late. Those ten points weren’t awarded to Neville just so Gryffindor would win the house cup. They were awarded because Dumbledore recognized that Neville, at the age of 11, was far braver than the young Albus had ever been. (via cersex)

hi!!! i was wondering how to do the thing with the streak over peoples's eyes edit thingy like the one in your one red wedding edit cuz it was super pretty

So you want to learn how to block out the eyes of our favorite dead characters like the 300 men of Sparta had the sun blocked out by enemy arrows! Well here is a few simple steps! REFERENCE THIS PHOTO OF THE RED WEDDING

1. Get you a nice picture going of some characters; living or dead, your choice. (Here I’ve made a new graphic just for your tutorial!! This is my first, so I’m very excited!)

2. Click on the brush tool on the sidebar. It’s different depending on what system you use. I use photoshop CS6. (excuse the bad writing. I don’t have a mouse.)

3. Choose your brush. There are various ones already in there for you. Or you can download a bajillion different kinds. I use a simple chalk for both this graphic and the Red Wedding. You can also change the size.

4. Choose a color. Red is always foreboding in a black and white photo. It’s my go to with all things GoT recently…

5. Start brushing over the eyes. One pass over won’t do much, so gouge those eyes a few times with your red brush of death to get a good cover.

6. Make sure to repeat on all the characters you wish to do this to and there you have it! I hope that was easy enough and explained well. I shall post the finished product in your name and thank you for the kind words!!!
