believe it or not, it is ::) i’m sure that says a lot about me. i could’ve chosen any of your happier fics, but no, i had to go for the angsts one. it’s been months and i’m still in denial about that very cruel ending. i just skip it now 😂

this is my fourth time rereading Once a Year. do i have homework tonight? yes. do i have school tomorrow? also yes. but this is more important because it’s my comfort fic and i need some comfort right now

by the way, i hope you are doing very well and that you had a wonderful day! 💛 you are amazing!

Wait wait it's your comfort fic honey? Even with that....ehm, ending? 😂❤

Aw thank you so much for this, you're so nice! ❤❤❤

so i was cleaning my computer, getting ready for the new school year and i found this poem i had to write for english class at the start of the year. enjoy ::)

I am stories waiting to be told.

I wonder of future pasts and presents, of the series of events about to happen.

I hear the call of letters rustling through the wind,

I see the flow of sentences lining the horizon.

I want to thread them, weave them through thousands of pages.

I am stories waiting to be told.

I pretend I am something else, living through endless dialogues.

I feel the pain of words piercing through my heart,

I touch howls of languish with the tips of my fingers.

I worry it is all to much and too little, but it is never enough.

I cry rivers of ink onto what becomes me.

I am stories waiting to be told.

I understand the languages of the worlds,

I say what they want never to be forgotten.

I dream of ancient kingdoms and future civilizations.

I bring smiles onto children’s faces and tears into adults’ eyes.

I hope my memories never die.

I am stories waiting to be told.

do you ever go about your day and you’re just hit with

Worthy Prince, I know’t.

Or

'Philtatos,' Achilles says, sharply. Most beloved. 'Best of men, and slaughtered by your son.”

And just start weeping like a war widow? how am i expected to get stuff done when they’re my emotional triggers?

#i'm sure i'm not the only one #i can't be the only one #it instantly triggers tears #james farrow #oliver marks #if we were villains #iwwv #iwwv spoilers #achilles #patroclus #patrochilles #the song of achilles #tsoa #tsoa spoilers

I had to decipher one of my great aunt’s old journals this year, so better put that knowledge to use!

Je fais un bien beau voyage. Tout marche à merveille. Nous nous retrouvons très bien dans Paris — nous marchons beaucoup. Votre guide m’est très utile et me permet de penser à mes voisines très souvent. 

Amitiés, Isabelle Tremblay

Let me know if you want help to translate it!

I purchased a pack of vintage postcards from an antique shop, and of them only this one contained writing. My french is too poor for me to properly decipher the note.

i want this pandemic to be over so much, because i want to go to the museum, go to the theatre, go on long walks around the city and look at urban art, go in little coffee shops and read for hours, sit down in a park and sketch, go downtown and breathe in the life of the city.

#i miss life #and i miss how it was before #i'm feeling very nostalgic tonight #culture is really lit #culture #museum #art #dark academia

head empty, just an overwhelming desire to fall in love

#i want a love so poignant that it leaves me breathless #i want a love soft as daydreams are soft #i want a love so entirely consuming that it will make me fly #if only #i wish #just love things

[winterstarling]

Happy International Women’s Day!

“The women we honor today teach us three very important lessons. One, that as women, we must stand up for ourselves. The second, as women, we must stand up for each other. And finally, as women, we must stand up for justice for all.” ― Michelle Obama

ok, that’s it. I don’t care anymore. I just want to be water nymph living in a tiny pond in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by water lilies that i also braid into my hair. I want to swim with little turtles and be amazed by the way light reflects on shiny pebbles. I want to spend my days weaving forget-me-nots flower crowns for the occasional passerby

#make me the opposite of the goblin living under a bridge #that's my third cousin twice removed #we have brunch on tuesdays #just my late night thoughts #naiades

oh to lay in the grass on the far end of the school grounds, underneath the moonlight on a summer night, way past curfew and yearning thinking about my roommate whom I am deeply, passionately, terribly in love with... to feel the soft breeze on my skin just as I imagine their fingers caressing my cheeks and to hear the echo of their laugh floating in the wind

#i wan to fall so in love with someone that they haunt the deepest parts of my soul #is it too much to ask #i just want to feel this type of love again #just your typical 2am lucid dream #dark academia
