when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit

Tumblr user @books—and-cleverness adds a quote from an interview with the author of the book:

« That was one of the first questions I asked her when we sat down: ‘Did you always know that [Prim] was going to die?’ And she said, ‘Oh yeah, of course, that’s the whole point.’ » (x)

the worst fictional deaths are actually the ones you see coming, where there is enough foreshadowing that you have time to hope, against all odds, that the character will survive, even as you realise that there’s no way out this time, they’re not going to make it, this was always how it was going to end.

This is why people cry at the movies: because everybody’s doomed. No one in a movie can help themselves in any way. Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear onscreen.

the line “your worst sin is that you’ve betrayed and destroyed yourself for nothing” is so raw you’d think it’s from a destiel fanfic or even hetalia but it’s actually from dostoyevskys crime and punishment

applying for a job that just might be the biggest leap of faith yet.... screaming crying etc.

#like i am technically qualified for it and i have some good experience but it's in the public library system #which is notorious for SAYING that they hire external applicants #then hiring like 95% internally #but this would mean i would make a living wage and then some could u imagine #i would make my rent in LESS THAN A WEEK #which has never been a thing before #and it seems like it would be really cool :((( i would love to get it #but chances are not good #BUT but i'm still gonna apply
