something about love makes you look at things differently. the really important part of this is that any love will work. if you love blue you will see it everywhere. if you love soft things you will note the cat and the thread count and the moss. you will find your best friend in ugly greeting cards and haunted dolls and terrible fanfics and since they remind you of her they will be beautiful.

so you will love the world differently for having loved someone else. you will love a certain cereal or pokemon because of your brother. you will hear your favorite band's song playing in a random store and the love of it will make the whole world a little more golden. you will read a poem so many times the words become their own creatures. you will find you cannot listen to certain music without thinking of your favorite show.

this velveteen rabbit transformation occurs. the love does not stop, it echoes.

Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it

This is what hozier meant when he says he falls a little bit in love everyday with someone new

I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said “there you go sweeties - that will be more comfortable” before shuffling off and… I think about her often.

[therainshallmakeadoor-deactivat]

« Silent lovers » is such a sweet way to put it.

I was driving on the highway and passed a dude absolutely JAMMING alone in his car, doing those little half dance moves you do when you’re stuck sitting down in a small space, bellowing unheard lyrics at the top of his lungs, and my instant reaction was to think “I love you.” And then to pray he had a good day, or whatever, because those fleeting moments of connection are so incredible.

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

“lockwood got more reckless because nothing mattered without lucy” “lockwood got more reckless because he wanted lucy’s attention” “lockwood got so reckless during the black winter because he had a death wish”

(all acceptable options and worthy of fic)

but have you considered lockwood is just a heck of a lot angrier? ghosts took his parents, and jessica, and sykes, and now in a way they took lucy, too, and he might be powerless to fix any of that but he sure as heck is not powerless to fight ghosts now, in this moment, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to get rid of them—and make sure, make quite sure, that no ghost ever has the opportunity to steal away someone else he loves.

[insidethekaleidoscope]

Yes, yes, yes. I do think that coping with that sense of powerlessness is such a motivator for Lockwood. And in the Black Winter his recklessness is really a grasping for a sense of control. Loss and grief feel like something that is happening to you, while anger can feel proactive.

You have this boy who is trying so hard to hold things together, who has lost everything several times over, who’s once again losing grasp of someone he holds dear. He’s freshly reminded of how little control he has, but he still has control of his own actions, so if he pushes a little too far, if he gets hurt, at least he acted. Maybe it’s reckless, but at least that way he’s a participant in his own fate rather than a victim of it. At least then, if he is doomed, he’ll know he’s gotten there because he was doing something that meant something to him.

Heated Rivalry is a closed door hockey romance in the sense that they fade to black on the hockey. The sex is explicit, but the hockey is implied.
