There is honestly not a single piece of media that has worked harder to hold me together through hard times than the Vincent Van Gogh episode of Doctor Who, and specifically the scene with the three of them lying in the field together holding hands and looking at the sky, and specifically the line, “We’re so lucky we’re still alive to see this beautiful world"

While we’re here, the idea of life as piles of good things and bad things that don’t cancel each other out or make each other irrelevant is a concept that like. Breaks me down to build me up and truly sometimes the most hopeful idea I’ve ever heard.

““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.”

— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous.

on one hand i feel kinda bad for the people who don’t like aruani and who feel like it’s out of character, or the people last month who were trying to pass it off as a one-sided crush born of bertholdt, but on the other hand. I have balloons and party horns going full blast mentally

hello queen! do you have any advice on how to be kinder?

i would say... first start by acknowledging the fact that you have a huge capacity for meanness and cruelty bc everyone does. and it’s not helpful to imagine yourself as a beacon of kindness bc it undermines the fact that you inevitably will hurt people because that’s how life goes. i think a lot of people value kindness but they don’t put in the work to be nicer or more careful or more attentive and they only focus on the idea because they like the idea and they value kindness as a trait but they don’t make any changes in themself. but kindness starts by acknowledging that you haven’t always been kind and you’ll be unkind again but the point is to put more attention and care into your everyday interactions and work on being more vulnerable and delicate with people. being kind isn’t a constant state or a trait even but a conscious act and a choice you make in every interaction and relationship and so you just have to pay attention to people and be gentle with them but also honest and sincere. because kindness always starts with being genuine. but i’m not an expert but i’d like to be kinder always
