Other Resource Lists 

(While I tried to include the most helpful resources I could here (i.e., resources that lend themselves to one-on-one communication, individual reading, etc.), there are plenty of other great resources, including regional resources, listed in these links. Some of the resources are specific to men and others aren’t, but they are all helpful for male survivors.)

**Husband Battering: Men and Domestic Violence

**Help for Battered Men: Online Resources

**Help for Battered Men: National and International Resources

“Why do you beat yourself up so much over little mistakes?”

This is such a good illustration of emotional abuse

Just a reblog to spread the most UN noticed abuse, be aware

and reminder for everyone to be patient with your loved ones who apologize constantly, or have a really emotional reaction to something that seems insignificant to you.

Another post that breaks my theme. But I really like seeing problems myself and other people have being explained in such a wonderful way

mmmmmm this explains why I have a hard time socializing with groups of people I don’t know

Haha it me

Do you see the possibility of a poly relationship between Ron, Hermione and Luna?

Only in one specific way; if Ron was dating both but they weren’t dating each-other. I think Hermione and Luna have personalities that just clash too much (and not in the ‘they mesh really well’ kind of way like with Ron and Hermione). 

No offence to people who do ship Luna and Hermione, but it’s not my cup of tea. 

Thanks for the ask, anon. 

For the ‘have you ever’ ask- Have you ever been to America? Have you ever gone skinny dipping? Have you ever been to a political protest? Which do you prefer: Italy or France?

1. No. And I probably won’t be doing so anytime soon, since the guy in charge seems to be a fascist cartoon character (no offence to my American followers, but it terrifies me that the wotsit with bad hair is in charge of the nuclear codes). 

2. No. Apart from when I have a bath, obviously. The UK is so cold most of the time that it’s freezing to go in the water. 

3. Yes. When I was at Uni, I went on a protest to stop a gay man getting deported to a country where he would likely be arrested and/or murdered just for his sexuality. The Tories are killing people and they don’t care. 

4. I’ve been to both, and I enjoyed both. But I prefer Italy because I prefer Italian food over French food. My apologies to my French followers; you guys are awesome too. 

Thanks for the asks, anon. 

Hello! Quick shipping question, do you ship Hermione with anyone other then Ron?

Not really. I don’t think Hermione really clicks with anyone the same way she does with Ron. I think most people find her annoying if they spend any amount of time around her. 

Ron likes Hermione, even though her flaws make her very difficult to like. Unlike most other people, Ron actually finds Hermione’s annoying qualities to be attractive. 

Thanks for the ask, anon.
