IF THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY!!

[galgadotssss-deactivated2016071]

Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!

It was a huge disappointment as a child to fall in love with the stars and then find out how much math it requires to get anywhere near them.

(feat. the late, great Anton Yelchin)

[sadgaywerewolf]

You know, when I was a kid in fandom and I saw a popular ship of, say, a 16 year old and a 25 year old, I was like “of course there’s nothing wrong with this! Age is just a number! Besides, it’s only 9 years!!!” 

But now that I am an adult, I’m on the other side of that age gap, and frankly I am disgusted. If you’re a teenager, trust me I get it- it’s really easy to see that as ok especially if your identified as “mature for your age” but let me tell you it is not. It is not ok for an adult to be in a romantic or sexual relationship with a child. At all. That adult is 100% taking advantage of that teenager and is competently aware of what they’re doing and it’s gross.

[reality-is-a-fantasy]

I had this exact revelation recently and it made me so uncomfortable to see my baby sister the same age as me when I started dating an adult. I thought I was “mature” but I was a fucking baby

[oe9]

does anyone else secretly have that “i liked it before it was cool” complex but wont admit it

[whataboutsargeantcrunch]

it’s more along the lines of “you guys were fucking making fun of me for liking this before it was cool” kinda complex

[anglophile-rin]

Also a “I super excitedly tried to show this to you years ago and you brushed it off and now you think you introduced it to me and that is infuriating” kinda complex
