Hell.

Somewhere between drunkenness and boredom.

Feeling this sad on your birthday should be illegal. God damn it, it feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest every second.

Iran is slowly coming back online, but by "online," I mean they've moved from whitelisting some websites to blacklisting everything. I had no idea what these terms meant, but living in Iran forces you to know about technical network and connection stuff. Basically, instead of banning everything except for a few shitty malware apps posing as "social media platforms", they have now moved to filter out and ban the same usual things as before (like Telegram, Instagram, YouTube, everything). So what does that mean? It means more IPs will be available to bypass the ban, and VPNs will be more affordable. So more people can access the internet, STILL ILLEGALLY and THROUGH A PAYWALL.

It's currently close to 4 AM now that I'm posting this, and I've been crying non-stop since midnight because my friends came back online one by one through an unstable connection and said: "Hi, I'm alive." I had prepared myself for the funeral of so many of my friends. Some haven't come back online yet, and we've formed small "search and rescue" groups to find their contacts or families to check if they're okay.

What remains a fact amidst all of this is that nobody in the world ever gave a single fuck about us. I was one of the lucky ones to connect during the complete shutdown via some newly invented way we were too scared to even publish on GitHub for fear of getting arrested. In the time I was connected, I felt immense guilt for having access to the internet, and I begged you all on my socials to be the voice of the people who were about to get executed.

Not even once did I see someone talk about the internet blackout in Iran, and it enrages me.

We've been massacred, mass executed, and then silenced by getting our only way of communicating with the world shut off and the world treats it as some background noise, some irrelevant news that isn't even worth spending time hearing about.

So I'm asking you again, please, be the voice for the people in Iran. We are barely surviving.

No lived experience of the Middle East? Then no fucking opinion about the system, bitch.

[hellen8v7]

Literally can say “ just survived the war!”

Olivia Dunham, my gay ass belongs to you in all universes.

[hellen8v7]

Where is my awkward genius lover and his crazy scientist dad in my life?

[hellen8v7]

So, we’re making a series about the apocalypse, and there’s a virus that basically turns humans into something like ChatGPT. It’s like we’re all actually scared of two things right now: becoming robots, and robots becoming us.

Charlie XCX making goth rock music was not on my 2025 bingo card, Love it LOVE IT

At the end of the day, she’s Lily fucking Allen. You were just a cop on a TV show and, honestly, still don’t know your name, David?!...whoever.

[hellen8v7]

“Lie to me babe and I'll end you” Then a gunshot sound!? Lily you did not!!! iconic! 

[hellen8v7]

Lily Allen, what an icon you are! I didn’t know your music until your recent album, but now I’ll support you for a lifetime.

LT Connor somehow reminds me of Detroit: Become Human; it's like I saw him in the game when I played it

[hellen8v7]

Baby, I’m in the middle of a meeting with all my personalities to judge someone’s character. Move on.

juliet's "come on, you son of a bitch" as she detonates the bomb is actually one of the most bittersweet things ever. the fact that not only has she picked up sawyer's most used curse but it slipped out when she thought it was the last thing she'd ever say

There’s a unique thing about Lost that I love. When you watch it, you experience it step by step with the characters. From the very first episode, you start looking for a villain, for the bad guys. And at some point, you think, Okay, I found them. It’s the “Others”. They’re the bad ones. But as it goes on, you realize, Wait, am I actually sympathizing with the villain I hated in the previous season? And you kind of like them now, you know? Then you realize that’s life. There’s no pure black or white. In the right light, we all seem gray.

[hellen8v7]

Dude with all the wars and awful things happening in the world, I think someone really fucked up protecting the light on the island.

[hellen8v7]

I just finished watching Lost, and it took me through every emotion imaginable. It’s kind of amazing how the series can touch you so deeply, making you feel so many different things within the same season. Lost has truly become one of my favorites.
