I have genuinely lost my mind this month. I was almost ready to join a religious cult just to improve my English.

Am I the perfect target? Absolutely. I’m tired of making decisions for myself, and I’m incredibly vulnerable to someone showing up and telling me what to do in exchange for salvation or enlightenment.

But also, I was trying to make a stupid pun with “tattoo” and “to do” because I genuinely thought they were homophones. Yes, I pronounce it wrong, I know. THEY AREN’T.

So, like… free English lessons AND someone else taking responsibility for my life choices? wouldn’t it be a win-win? 

[hellolaracroft]

I genuinely love modernity.

No, seriously. Everything is a complete mess. I think I've been going through one of the worst psychological spirals this month. I gave up on studying, stopped exercising, have no idea how I'm going to pay my credit card bill, and I'm actively sabotaging my body, my academic life, and my future. I have so many plot bunnies bouncing around in my head that, at this point, it feels easier to go full Sylvia Plath with the oven than to try to organize my thoughts.

But tell me, what other century would let me casually open my laptop at 2 p.m., order a milkshake, start writing an omegaverse fanfic for a dead fandom, and listen to the Vampire Lestat album at the same time? Thank you for everything, Sam Reid.

Seriously. I might not make it to old age, but the twenty-first century really is spectacular. I wouldn't want to live in any other one.

i'm legit curious pls reblog this and put in the tags what your first band t shirt or merch was

[hellolaracroft]

My first one was a Johnny Cash T-shirt, and I still don't understand why it wasn't a Lana Del Rey one, considering I'd been obsessed with her for much longer.

The worst thing that can happen to a fanfiction reader has happened to me.

I started reading a fic that began in 2020 and hasn’t been updated since 2024. It’s perfect. It’s MY kind of slow burn, MY kind of humor, literally everything I love and aspire to write!

It only has 15 chapters.

And it’s unfinished.

I stayed up reading until 5 a.m. because I became completely obsessed. 😭

Anyway, if anyone needs me, I’ll be mourning.

[hellolaracroft]

To make matters worse, the last chapter ends on a cliffhanger!!!

I knew. I KNEW it was unfinished. I knew it hadn't been updated since 2024. And yet I still read all fifteen chapters in one sitting!!! 116,552k words!

What is wrong with me 😭😭😭
