“Forty years is a long time. I have to say that India is no longer the country of this novel. When I wrote Midnight’s Children I had in mind an arc of history moving from the hope – the bloodied hope, but still the hope – of independence to the betrayal of that hope in the so-called Emergency, followed by the birth of a new hope. India today, to someone of my mind, has entered an even darker phase than the Emergency years. The horrifying escalation of assaults on women, the increasingly authoritarian character of the state, the unjustifiable arrests of people who dare to stand against that authoritarianism, the religious fanaticism, the rewriting of history to fit the narrative of those who want to transform India into a Hindu-nationalist, majoritarian state, and the popularity of the regime in spite of it all, or, worse, perhaps because of it all – these things encourage a kind of despair.”

— Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children at 40

THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY ‘借りぐらしのアリエッティ’ dir. Hiromasa Yonebayashi

Is it so wrong to want something different from what you’re used to!?

homo-sex-shoe-whale

The Brazilian LGBT community has recently coined the world's best term and I need to share it with y'all

chernoboy (noun)

cher • no • boy

A male that exhibits extremely toxic masculinity. Usually is a gym rat with a faded haircut and tribal tattoos.

Planning movie dates half an hour before it starts

Going out for long walks with comfortable silence

Midnight horror movies

Friends marathon where we repeatedly watched Season 1 every week

We’re a bit of a Monica and Chandler,

And Yes Monica comes first.

If she says something she’s right

He’ll probably joke around to accept that fact

I am not peotic without my blunt

i want coffee runs at midnight

and random texts at 3 pm

about dumb things that

go through your head during the day.

i want horror movies while you

cover your eyes and recoil behind my shoulders

but insist that you weren’t that scared

when i call you out on it.

i want getting lost in a foreign city

and our phones are out of battery

and all we have is each other

and the beautiful alien scenery

as we try to find our way back.

i want petty fights about mundane things

and screaming at each other

and slamming of doors

but i become yellow

when you are red

brightening up your dark days

and you love me all the same.

i want awkward first times

while our mixed anxiety

and hesitation

strangles us up in a corner

but a brief eye contact

puts both our demons at ease

and the world feels much lighter.

i want spending hours in museums

trying to find the perfect artefact

that we can make a meme out of

and the security guard gives us a warning stare

as we run through greek sculptures

amongst the gods and the semi-humans

all the greatest tragedies and love sonnets in one room.

then there is you

then there is me

trying to find a middle between

two extremes.

- i want all the good, the bad, and the ugly. // heavyemptyheart

“There was a time where I used to feel comfortable alone with myself. But lately, I’ve been feeling an overwhelming loneliness. And it’s not because I am missing someone’s company, it’s because I’m missing my own.”

Sometimes its better to talk about your problems with a stranger than your close ones.
