#drive me mad

[burningvelvet]

For the past few days this passage from Wuthering Heights has been stuck in my head...

"'[..] Her life closed in a gentle dream — may she wake as kindly in the other world!'

'May she wake in torment!' he cried, with frightful vehemence, stamping his foot, and groaning in a sudden paroxysm of ungovernable passion. 'Why, she’s a liar to the end! Where is she? Not there — not in heaven — not perished — where? Oh! you said you cared nothing for my sufferings! And I pray one prayer — I repeat it till my tongue stiffens — Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you — haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always — take any form — drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!'

He dashed his head against the knotted trunk; and, lifting up his eyes, howled, not like a man, but like a savage beast being goaded to death with knives and spears. I observed several splashes of blood about the bark of the tree, and his hand and forehead were both stained; probably the scene I witnessed was a repetition of others acted during the night. It hardly moved my compassion — it appalled me: still, I felt reluctant to quit him so. But the moment he recollected himself enough to notice me watching, he thundered a command for me to go, and I obeyed. He was beyond my skill to quiet or console!"

#if i did an adaptation of WH i'd include the head-against-the-trunk bit and have it be violent - dramatically edited showing dif angles #& nelly there shocked #this whole chap #i cannot live without my life #haunt me then #drive me mad #wuthering heights #emily brontë #heathcliff #nelly dean #quotes #literature #english literature #the brontë sisters

I remember reading Wuthering Heights at 14 and thinking, "Wow, this was underwhelming."

BUT.

THIS.

PART.

"And I pray one prayer—I repeat it till my tongue stiffens—Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

Watching Home Alone is so funny it’s like

Kevin’s mom: *hyperventilating into a paper bag* I can’t believe I left my son home alone, he has to be so terrified, my poor baby boy all alone I need to go get him-

Kevin: *actively planning to commit war crimes*

#mads posts #also holy shit all of Kevin’s dialogue? fake as hell #it’s driving me insane #home alone

imagine: you get your memories back after years of amnesia to find out your whole species is dead and earth doesn’t exist anymore. that the only thing left of your culture is your weird ex and his busted honda civic that barely even works that he stole from the government when he was 13. And he’s been taking members of an alien species for trips in his honda civic and they’re all like “woah it’s so cool” and you get upset because it’s NOT COOL it’s a honda civic, the turn signals don’t even work “wow it can go up hills” yeah OF COURSE IT CAN GO UP HILLS EVERY CAR COULD DO THAT. but they’ve never seen a car before so everything it does is the coolest thing ever. And your ex’s only tool is a fucking screwdriver which is somehow also cool to this dumbass alien species even though it’s a fucking screwdriver so you just look like an idiot screaming about how none of this is even cool it’s actually really shitty but your whole planet is gone so you can’t even prove it but also you’ve had a constant drumming sounding in your head since you were 10 slowly driving you insane. I would become evil too.

#This metaphor might have gotten away from me #Whatever #the master #toschei #doctor who #tardis #the doctor #Companion: wow it can actually fully reverse and go backwards! #The master: *seething bc EVERY CAR CAN DO THAT* #I would be so mad if the only thing left of my culture was my ex and his terrible car #That he doesn’t even have a license to drive #Tensimm #J watches drwho #I really wanna draw this but I don’t have any artistic ability due to there being no apples in my brain #Plus your ex kinda wants to fuck the car

After my son left it behind, Derek towed it in, thinking it was probably beyond repair. But then he opened up the hood and he pulled off all the duck tape Stiles had stuck on it. And he managed to fix it. That Jeep, no matter what’s been done to it, it just keeps running. He could never figure out why it wouldn’t break down and stay down.

And I don’t think he ever realized that that’s exactly the way we saw him. I have never seen anyone take that kind of punishment that Derek Hale took, and kept taking, in order to protect the people he loved.

#something something this whole speech in the movie about derek protecting the peopl e he loved #and in the show many times it was stiles who had his back and actually worked with him and they protected each other #this metaphor for the jeep as their trust and love for each other and a thing that will be there for stiles when he comes back #so derek is working on the jeep and if eli steals it from time to time because it drives (hehe) derek mad but hes mostly amused #at the connection there well whos to say if it isnt love right? right #teen wolf #sterek #this is mostly just me giffing my favorite scene of theirs because i never made gifs for them #derek hale #stiles stilinski #eli hale #eli hale stilinski #sheriff stilinski #mine #gif:sterek #sterekedit #eternalsterek #twedit #teenwolfedit

i just wanted to drop by and say i am Enamored by the way you colored that ball in that diagram. i can only hope to hold a ball that pretty in my jaw (or in my hand so normally)

Thanks. I'm a big fan of brightly colored translucent objects. Admire this work by contemporary glass artist Katherine Gray titled Hearth Half Life with me

#lulu talks #the constantly moving sticker in the corner is driving me mad #staff if you have time to do this you have time to fix what you've done with clicking on photos on mobile #and also fixing the part where we have to click in weird places to see the previous reblog
