‎‎‎‎‎ ‎‎‎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♱ִ ⁺  8teen , catholic   𓂃⠀˖  ⠀݁  archiving things that i love i am a college student studying political science & theatre performance with hopes to become a criminal defense attorney and politician. i enjoy politics (especially historical politics), museum curation, historiography, journalism, and archivism, i also love theatre, choir, graphic design, photography, and travel. i draw sometimes and write on ao3 and write poetry when i feel inspired. i don't post my own stuff on this blog very often, it is almost always used as an archive for things that i like and want to keep. i enjoy antiques, everything vintage, and the americana aesthetic. i study/research history (hamilton family, laurens, lafayette, amrev, kennedy family, historical politics, 1960s, vietnam, ww2, shakespeare and anything romeo and juliet, old hollywood), and i also engage with the stranger things, riverdale, lord of the flies, school spirits, and the outsiders fandoms frequently. i love the coquette/"american lolita" aesthetic and also coastal granddaughter / cape cod aesthetic. i may be found elsewhere on discord or instagram (dm for any other accounts), i also run @gotheconch! ⊹ ₊

You know, I hate being called “the brilliant one.” “The ruthless one” “The guy everybody’s afraid of.” I hate it. I’m not so smart, you know? I’m not so ruthless.

“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” Rose Kennedy

one of the "gender is fake" discoveries i made while transitioning is that, like, gendered cuts of shirts do SO MUCH to change a persons silhouette? like a goof 20% of the "biological difference between men and women" that people imagine is just shirt cut. its just clothing cut. its insane.

dearest jack : i’m feeling very depressed. all my plans have been (?). i have no more hope felt : and i won’t go on living only on hopes. (you haven’t been much of a help either.) i don’t know what to think about you, but what i do think, i know is not very good, and it does not flatter you. if i feel this way, it is because i have my reasons, for i think i have been patient enough. there is one thing unfortunately that won’t change about you, but i won’t tell you for the moment, for you don’t deserve it. there is one new idea i have in mind, and that is to go to london as soon as possible and join father - i’m longing - that’s something else (?) about, not to have been sent to washington as i thought. christina gets very often letters from harry; he is so nice that i think i’m going to start to write to him, so that i get letters from someone. he said that he had seen you in very good shape, in the army (i don’t care a damn how you are!!) i’m only sorry for you, to think that you are once and for all in the midst of all this mess, even though you were against it. christmas and new years have gone by and haven’t had one line from you. what are you trying to do!! even your sweet sister sent me a christmas card - are you going to write, yes or no?! please don’t let me loose [sic] my precious time. i’m thinking about you. lots of love, baby (just like you, i don’t mean it)
