WARNING: *SENSITIVE SUBJECT*
I found this on IG today.
I thought that for ten years I’ve seen all amazing things he’s done. But this one touched me differently today. As a person who was cutting herself, seeing such a small but huge in its meaning gesture, especially from someone you admire is so extremely touching.
I’m so proud of this girl, cause I know how our histories and our battles are seen by people around. Showing your scars to anyone, and especially to someone you really love, is a big step & takes a lot of bravery to do that. Wherever you are, whoever you are - I’m proud of you girl & I really hope you’re happy. 🖤
And Louis? I’ll never get used to the fact how amazing person he is. I’ll never stop being suprised by his actions and his enormous heart. I don’t understand how much love can fit in such a small body, I really don’t understand.
God, I just love him so much, I had heard that people had seen like, faint scars on him but that it could be the lighting on the stage...this kind of things make me really proud to stand him.
Stomped roses
Remember the days where your blonde hair flew behind me
Now it flows down to my ears
And half gone now the roses wrap around my throat
Targets on my back for being who I am
But these roses paint a different type a warning
That this girl is not ok
The thorns dig in to my old scars
The thorns make me new scars to shade the skin red
Trying to let others know this girl is dying
All because she loves her fellow women
So I'll Stand up and fight the fight with the others
Because right now we don't have equality amoung our own fellow people
So it's hurting all of us
I see you
I'll stand with you even if my roses are stomped
Even when they are storm
I have enough left to know that I'll never be able to trust the police
Because when you kill my family my people my fellow human I'm not gonna back down
I will chant his names among all races
Beacuse people don't understand his life matters to
He still matters and this is why we should stand up for each other
But ik some of these people may not stand up for me.
But that's ok I will try my best to help a cause beacuse you can't fight hate with hate only love will fix this
I love everyone
And I mean that
This deserves many more reactions than it has.

I had so many dreams, goals and I worked on them but now I dont have any dreams, no goals and all I do is waiting until the day is over.
dark academia tea guide
to relax after a long study session or before bed time: fruit tea, chamomile tea. Get yourself some honey if you like.
when you want to feel healthy: Any kind of herbal tea, matcha, nettle tea, green tea.
to get a boost of energy: green tea, black tea, white tea or any other variation that contains caffeine. Make sure you make them right or they´ll get bitter.
on a cold winter day: Chai, ginger tea, rooibos tea. Use spices, especially cinnamon.
during summer: barley tea, iced fruit tea, hibiscus tea. Don´t worry about hot tea in summer, it´s actually even better for your body than drinking ice cold drinks.
Get yourself the most visually pleasing cup you can find and go for it. If you like you can sweeten your tea with sugar or honey or add some milk. For green tea never use boiling water (60-80 degree celsius should be fine) and take the teabag out after two or three minutes maximum or it´ll end up being bitter. Figure out what you like best and what works best for your kind of green tea. The quality affects if it gets bitter easily or not.
I’m too numb now, I can’t feel anything physically either. I’ve been surviving off of cutting but pain has started to feel like a distant tickle. I hate this state I’m in, and I have tried to drop hints with my friends as much as possible. I don’t think anyone has noticed, and I would feel like a burden if I said anything. It would just be a lot easier if I was gone
Take a step back now y'all
Darkly academic research ideas for your time indoors (because you're not a heathen):
The lives of great classical composers.
Ancient Egypt's social hierarchy and attitudes towards women, homosexuality etc.
Poisons.
The tea trade, and how it became so important to British culture.
18th century fashion and the production of clothing.
How corsets aren't the terrible patriarchal torture devices everyone thinks they are.
The use of recreational drugs in the late 19th century.
The French revolution.
Methods of forensic investigation at crime scenes.
Controversy in psychological studies.
Matriarchal societies.
How nostalgia influences fashion, media, and literature.
The nature versus nurture argument.
The history of trains and railroads.
Symbolism in art.
Just a few research rabbit holes to throw yourself into if you're bored. :)
// Does such a thing as "the fatal flaw," that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? //
They tell the story around campfires. In great halls. In kitchens. And in taverns. In the skies, on the desert plains, and in the howling mountains. They tell the stories to little girls and little boys. They tell the stories to future kings and queens. They tell the story of a ragtag band of misfits, mercenaries, thieves, and assassins. Of royal born and street urchins who fought side by side. They tell the story of the Queen who was promised.
They tell the legend of a mystical queen who could burn the world with her flames. Who had scars on her back and hands from her time as a slave. Who lived a double life as an assassin but came back for her people. Who banished the dark queen and brought back the light.
They tell the story of a long-awaited king who had powers the likes of which had not been seen for over a decade. Who defeated his predecessor and saved his subjects. Who was just and merciful and who had a penchant for knowledge. Who had once worn a collar around his neck and who had a phantom haunt him from the moment it came off.
They tell the story of a rejected lord who was once a guard. Who was the most loyal friend a man could ask for. Who believed in right and wrong. Who went on the run but stayed to help the people. Who went to the south unable to walk and returned with an army.
They tell the story of a warrior prince who was the fiercest in all the lands. Who once was the lackey of the dark queen but was the first to leave her side. Who had ice and wind running through his veins. And who wore the story of his shame for all the world to see.
They tell the story of a deadly queen who drank the blood of men. Who was spared by her enemy and waged war against her family. Who guided her people to peace and into a new age. And who united two races who wared for over a century.
They tell the stories of the women. Beauties and fighters. One who could change her skin like some put on a different outfit. One who always aimed her arrow straight and true. One who was saved by a queen in an alleyway and in turn saved another and then another and then another. One who was a beacon for her people from the moment she was born until the moment her life was snuffed out. One who ended the suffering of many and who saved thousands. One who trecked across the continent to find her lost queen and never gave up hope. And one who gave her life for a better world.
They tell the stories of the men. Legends and tall tales. Men who were the fiercest warriors in all the lands. Who once served the dark queen but left her for a brighter flame. A man who let the world think the worst of him, but always stood by his family. A man who rode the skies like some men walk the earth. A man who gave his life and heart for a woman he never indeed knew. But loved none the less.
They tell the stories of these men and women. These kings and queens. These gods and goddesses. They whisper them as the candlesticks melt into nothing. They chant them as rain stomps on the roofs. They murmur them on days when the winds are so loud they rattle the worlds. They recount them on nights when the snow is so thick you can’t even see your hand in front of you. They recite these stories on the killing fields bathed in blood. They quote these stories in books and by word of mouth to anyone who will listen. They hiss these stories in lands whose names have been forgotten. They proclaim these stories to their children and their children and their children. They remember the stories of Aelin Ashryver Galathynius and the sacrifices she made until night descends upon the realms.
Back in tumblr, bitches! (even though everybody said this thing was dead af)
I just really wish i was worth something more than a couple stares, a false smile and a shrudded whisper. Might be broken in pieces but im no stone, and I´m bleeding slowly to my own end.
Buying a dress sucks.
That’s all i’m gonna say. Ok , maybe not.
The truth is that our society is way more than controlled by social status or labels to classify people (the bitch , the playboy , the nerd) and even though i’m bored to repeat that i have never classified for any of those. Anyways , a few weeks ago one of my friends invited me to her birthday party and of course , i said yes. What could happen in a bloody 16 yesr old teenage girl party? And yes , that also was my first mistake.
Five days ago i was told that the party was on elegant dress code. And unless by now black short dresses with draws of middle fingers or band logos are considered elegant i had nothing to wear. However we went to buy dresses to the mall.
Second mistake. When you have a self-steem as low and fragile like mine you shall never hesr the “comments” that the sellers or your own parents have to say aboyt your body.
My legs were too fat.
My breasts were too small.
My skin tone was too dark.
I was too short for the dress.
My face was the wrong shape to fit with the dress’s shape.
And like so many other i’m not even gonna name. The truth is i dont even know what they thought would happen. That i would consider theyre comments to my body as healthy critics? Well then welcome to reality. It doesnt happens in real life.
Im not telling who , but that day i even hesrd that the stupid dress didnt match with the cuts on my wrists.
So guess what. I’m not going to one of those parties ever again. Not until brands clme to the realization that NONE OF US HAS A BARBIE SHAPE.
Until then , good luck for everyone half a centimeter over 60 in your stomach.
I just saw this picture of a ring and couldnt help but think about ACOMAF , the mountains remind me to Velaris and the court of dreams😍
