Home

Home is the scent of the rain

Seeping softly

Through the walls of the house

Home is the sunlight

Pouring through the windows

Liquid butter

Warming the floor

And your hand in mine

Home is the sound

Of the air-con whistling

White noise swirling over our heads

As we sit over a bowl of fruit

Laughing as the juice drips

Down our fingers

Shyly meeting the sun

As the clouds concede

And the rain retreats

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

Bridgerton hot people: *busy making out in various gazebos and library locations*

Me, watching: is this estate entailed or under a strict settlement? If it’s the product of a strict settlement, how was that disclosed to the viscount given he was of minority age (and thus barred from contracting) at his father’s death? Did he later perpetuate the strict settlement in his lineal favor despite having zero obligation to do so given that he now stands as legal fee tail owner? Maybe he just saw it as a way to perpetuate the power of the family and bar against less successful descendants wasting the estate resource, all at the direct, deliberate expense of barring his siblings and their families from a landed inheritance? If that’s the case, why are the younger Bridgerton sons such desirable matches among the gentry?? But maybe that’s not an issue, since all of his younger brothers seemingly have independent allowance, and if that’s generated from the family estate, this must be a strict settlement with a life estate income provision for siblings - def NOT an entailment. Is that why these younger brothers are considered good matches despite being unlanded untitled gentlemen in need of professions? Or maybe their mother’s marriage settlement provided for their independent allowance should their father die?? Are they to obtain their own property without title???

Bridgerton hot people: *have now actively started getting down in said gazebos and library locations*

Me, flipping through a facsimile of a 1788 English law textbook: on that note, why are the featheringtons kicked out of what appears to be an owned home by a male cousin upon their father’s death? Was their estate a strict settlement that benefited a cousin instead of a descendant?? Why would their grandfather force their father to settle away from his own descendancy line, with no allowance or dowry provided for the girls? But if it’s entailed and thus out of their hands (also explaining the lack of allowance), why didn’t their father employ common recovery to undo the entailment???

Bridgerton hot people, looking at me through the television: lady, you realize this show is just cosplay **** with extra steps, right?

Time Loop

And I know that there are things best left unsaid

That we will never ever overcome

But in this moment please be who you are with me

So that I can love you for a little while longer

there is nothing badass about not taking an ibuprofen when you need it

[eggyfriedrice]

On the contrary, i like to imagine myself as an ancient celtic princess like boudicca drunk on bloodlust and enduring great pain in battle when in reality its just day 1 of my period

[i-am-a-fish]

I just want to love and be loved. why is lunch twelve dollars now

Kitkats are beautiful in that unlike many things in this world there is only ONE RIGHT WAY to go about it, there is a certainty and absoluteness that is sacred

Desperately wishing that I had written this myself

Irreconcilable Differences

You are the most beautiful shade of blue

But I much prefer the color red

You say that you love me, purely and true

But I'd rather you hate me instead

Because I know that you see me

In your future, my hand

Intertwined with yours, eternally

But for me that's another, mythical land

Where my hand will always be free

You desire something I can never provide

Someone deeply foreign to me

Where I change myself over and over to hide

That you were never the right one for me

Guess who finished the Project Hail Mary book and rewatched the movie?

Restless

Wide awake and hollow, I almost call you,

almost reach out,

your name a secret at the back of my mouth,

a small, steady risk I could take in the dark,

a spark I could strike just to see if you’d answer.

But I stall, held still by a sickening shame

that you might be giving yourself to someone else,

knowing our feelings were never the same.

So I stay where I am, eyes open, not sleeping,

just drifting in dim, restless waves of you,

your absence projected onto my ceiling.

I rehearse what I’d say, then swallow it whole,

let the night press in with its endless refrain,

and keep to myself what I never can say.
