Now, the prompt for WODW is if you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be. Well, I have recently blogged about that answer being Ireland. I am the most stubborn person you will ever meet fairly stubborn, and so I'm going to keep Ireland at the top of that list until I get there. Seems like a solid plan, right? #goalsetting. So instead, I'm making up the rules as I go along, and we're going to do some of the fictional places I want to go. Obviously.
HOGWARTS // if you didn't see that one coming, you haven't been paying attention. I'm not talking the studio, or Harry Potter world, or that place in Poland for that super intense LARP thing. I'm talking actual Hogwarts. Moving staircases, talking pictures, rooms that appear out of nowhere, towers, Quidditch fields, Forbidden Forest... the whole shebang. I'm still waiting on my Hogwarts letter.
HOGWARTS IS MY HOME! |
Gatsby's House in West Egg // a little party never killed nobody. I would have fit in so well in the 1920's. I love to dance. I want all of the clothes that Daisy wears in all the movie adaptations. I'm listening to jazz music as I write this. Contemplating a glass of champagne. It just all seems so glamorous. Yes, I've read the book a thousand times. I know how it ends. I just also like the idea of a man throwing the best parties in the hopes that I would show up. you feel me, right ladies? #champagneforbreakfast
old sport |
The Library in the Beast's Castle // okay so maybe just the whole castle in general. Also, I feel ya Belle, if I was told explicitly not to go to the west wing, that's the first place I would want to go to. But that library y'all. You could live in it. You could literally spend your entire life in there and not read all the books. So many more fictional places I could go to! #booksfordays
oh, I've just read the most wonderful story |
Tara // there are a lot of opinions about Gone With the Wind, I love to hear them all. I did, however, cry big fat alligator tears the day I learned that Tara was, in fact, a movie set. That there wasn't actually a house somewhere that happened to be spared on the March to the Sea. I always imagined when I grew up and married my own Rhett Butler that I would live in that house. I'm kinda sad thinking about it not happening now... #fiddledeedee
I'll think about it tomorrow |
NICE!! I'm in for Gatsby's house and the library in the Beast's castle. For sure! Like the fictional choices a lot...very unique!
ReplyDeleteright?! how fun does that sound!!
ReplyDeleteHOGWARTS for sure!!!! Take me with you and we can drink butter beer and pumpkin juice! Love your whole list though, Ireland is right up there for me too, along with New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteCasey,
ReplyDeleteLove your twists on the prompts as always! :) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go to Hogwarts. Imagine all of the little trinkets and surprises you'd find in every nook and cranny. They would have to drag me out, as I'm sure I'd overstay my welcome.
And a big YES!! to Gatsby's house. "I like large parties. They're so intimate. Small parties, there isn't any privacy."
Have you listened to the soundtrack of Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby? Love it!
All of these, errrrrra-day errra-day!
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness can we just live at Hogwarts, Gatsby can join so his parties will be there (saves us on the Uber charges), we'll conjure up a spell to make Tara. Then lastly, because we're tots bestie with Hermione, we have a library named after the three of us, that just so happens to be a replica of Bell's. Done & done.
I loved this post, well done Kasey!
#fiddledeedee best hashtag everrrr!!! I'll go to all of these places with you! ESP The library! YESSSS
ReplyDeleteLove it, Kasey. Now I totally want to write a post about fictional destinations. Damn it, you creative little sassy pants. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, Hogwarts - you can never go wrong with Hogwarts!!!
oh absolutely. we just have to figure out how to get through Platform 9 3/4 + we're on our way! Oh, I would LOVE to see New Zealand too!
ReplyDeleteoh I would never leave. they'd have to make me a teacher. and probably the head of house. I'll be the new McGonagall also yes! it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S SO SMART. OMG.
ReplyDeletebooks for the rest of ever though. how perfect would that be?
ReplyDeleteright?! so many places to explore there. I bet you could spend a lifetime learning + exploring there. plus since Harry's gone, learning actually happens!
ReplyDeleteYes to the library in Beauty and the Beast! I remember even as a kid geeking out about that library.
ReplyDeleteright?! I mean. I could live in there. It has those gigantic windows too! I mean. that might be what heaven looks like.
