Tip: This Valentine’s Day, don’t be romantic. Be Romantic! Recite Lord Byron on the edge of a barren cliff! Feel the gusts of the thunderstorm blow through your hair as you sob! Become a reclusive poet who trusts no one and is only seen at 2 am, wandering half-dressed through the streets and muttering in Old High German! Drown your lonely heart in laudanum and die at age 34 of tuberculosis, martyrdom in a small and ill-fated revolution, or wasting away from a disease that makes you look wan but poetic! Forget “forever alone”: You’ll always have your haunting past, your wasted ambitions, and the melancholy of a life unlived to keep you company!
hey who has a screenshot of that toby stephens tweet about his earring. you know the one,, it contains the words "an old hole, still open, from my youth." i need it for science purposes
Still thinking about this. it is so uniquely painful to watch your loved ones deny themselves out of a sense of duty to an institution that they believe is the key to goodness & everlasting life. Like you can’t argue with that, you can’t even compete with it. if you go against the institution you’ll always be tainted in their eyes, likely without their conscious knowledge. You can’t beat God!! or heaven!!! there is no way to show them what you see. and you’re both worse off for it because ofc you won’t stop loving them
just finished gomens & wasnt really feeling it (i mostly half-watched it while painting) but “i forgive you” is insane. devastating even
so um. was doing some thinking and. I don’t think abed mentions inspector spacetime ever again after troy leaves. so uh. do with that information what you will
Silver is so fucking funny. Like, imagine you’re at your new job and you go into your boss’ office and say to their face “wow it must be awful being you”
