Okay, I get how Cleverness might translate into Pride for some Ravenclaws, and maybe Ambition translates into Greed for some Slytherins, but why the hell is Hufflepuff marked with the mortal sin of Envy? Our house traits are Loyalty, Diligence, and an odd propensity for finding things. If you think we’re jealous of the other houses because we’re “just” Hufflepuff, then you’ve got another thing coming.

Pianist with synesthesia performs Bach “in color.”
Julliard-trained pianist, Evan Shinners, shows us what colors he sees when he plays the piano.
Evan has synesthesia, which is a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway. In Evan’s case, he sees colors when he plays Bach.
I wonder if this ever gets distracting? Hmm…

I guess this is what it would be like to play the cello while on LSD.

“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.” — Alan Watts

Psychologists Discover How People Subconsciously Become Their Favorite Fictional Characters
Psychologists have discovered that while reading a book or story, people are prone to subconsciously adopt their behavior, thoughts, beliefs and internal responses to that of fictional characters as if they were their own.
Experts have dubbed this subconscious phenomenon ‘experience-taking,’ where people actually change their own behaviors and thoughts to match those of a fictional character that they can identify with.
literature is fucking powerful
