if dreams came true, well wouldn't that be nice

[astroportals]

ok so, growing up "fireflies" were always called "lightning bugs" where i'm from and that's what i knew them as first and foremost, but eventually shifted to calling them fireflies. (i blame owl city for popularizing "fireflies" lol, but realistically i know it's the more common term)

still i wanna know who else used to call them "lightning bugs" so tell me what you call them and where you're from (if you want):

winged-bugs that light up are:

fireflies

lightning bugs

some other third thing (tell me in the tags)

There’s something wrong with me right now but don’t worry I found a cure (holds up a hyperfixation from when I was 14) (NOT one of the good ones)

Blackberries

by Margaret Atwood

In the early morning an old woman is picking blackberries in the shade. It will be too hot later but right now there’s dew.

Some berries fall: those are for squirrels. Some are unripe, reserved for bears. Some go into the metal bowl. Those are for you, so you may taste them just for a moment. That’s good times: one little sweetness after another, then quickly gone.

Once, this old woman I’m conjuring up for you would have been my grandmother. Today it’s me. Years from now it might be you, if you’re quite lucky.

The hands reaching in among the leaves and spines were once my mother’s. I’ve passed them on. Decades ahead, you’ll study your own temporary hands, and you’ll remember. Don’t cry, this is what happens.

Look! The steel bowl is almost full. Enough for all of us. The blackberries gleam like glass, like the glass ornaments we hang on trees in December to remind ourselves to be grateful for snow.

Some berries occur in sun, but they are smaller. It’s as I always told you: the best ones grow in shadow.

Have you ever had one?

[folkbloodbaths]

I said I wasn't going to do any bangs this year but then I signed up for the @destielaureversebb because I am nothing if not susceptible to a little cajoling, and I'm so glad I did because LOOK at this gorgeous art by @bucketofli that I got to write a fic for!!!!
