“ frankly speaking, i wanna give up. ” declan having a mental breakdown over his master thesis :/

memes !  @arthistoried

                                                        ‘   oh, yes, you totally do.   ’

               tatiana’s words drip with sarcasm before they are quickly washed down with still steaming green tea. there is nonchalance in the way she sits, speaks, drinks   —   and then, smiles. yeah, she knows declan. and not only that, but she has experienced how much blood, sweat and tears of his went into his passion for the arts.   (   perhaps even LITERALLY.   )    a quick glance thrown towards him as she places the cup of tea on the table in front of her, one hand reaching down to pet teddy. 

                   ‘   you definitely want to give up this one thing you’re most passionate about. how about this   —   ’   no hesitation as she gets up, shuts the curtains of her living room and walks into the kitchen. the sound of glasses clinking against each other rings through her apartment, a cupboard shut a bit too loud.   ‘   take a B R E A K and enjoy a movie night with me   ?   ’

[brunchloved]

while i get my shit together : psa that declan and devon have a secure spot in tatiana’s heart no matter what .... they’re her boys and she loves them

once upon a time, there were two good friends, a frog and a toad. 

i have many things to do.

get into my bed and rest.

this is my sad time of day.

you did very well by yourself.

i was wrapping your present.

winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.

maybe yes and maybe no.

that hat is much too big for you. 

i am sorry for all the dumb things i do. i am sorry for all the silly things i say. 

we must stop eating! 

if you stand near the stove, your clothes will soon be dry.

i am in my warm bed.

these messy leaves have covered everything.

have some tea and cake.

oh, that makes a very good letter. 

what a fine time for a ghost story.

run for your life!

let me think of a story to tell you. 

i am catching a cold. 

help! my best friend is trying to kill me!

how long have i been asleep? 

i guess that is a very good reason for wanting to be alone. 

will power is trying hard not to do something that you really want to do. 

why are you banging your head against the wall?

well then, a little more sleep will not hurt me.
