The moment when you forgot that you wrote something and you read it again and it's actually so good. Like, wow, that person who wrote this is a good writer.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.

Gum In My Hair

By: Me (rattleysworld)

I read a poem one time that said childhood friends, at their core, are "fatefully significant and necessary." Something about how the event of growing up together is so effectual that it keeps those people tied together. I dont remember who wrote the poem, and I havent been able to find it since,

But i do remember that onions give you headaches. And that you dont like ice in your drinks. And that you like tomatoes best when sliced - on a plate - with salt and pepper.

I dont remember who wrote the poem, and I haven't been able to find it since, but i do remember your phone password, and that your favorite flowers are tulips, and the names of all of your brothers, whom I actually still talk to. I don't want to be stuck to you like this. Each piece I remember is like gum in my hair.

And I think you still have one of my sweatshirts.

I, for one, am really glad that we as a society are finally starting to understand the importance of bards

Honorable mention:

[bitchthefuck1]

"We should be glad we got any adaptation at all!!1"

Why? Since when is a poorly made mess of an adaptation that fundamentally alters who the characters are and might as well be about different people better than nothing? What value is this adding to these characters and their story? How would just having the books as they are be a lesser experience? Who's paying you to defend this?

ELLIE WILLIAMS The Last of Us, 01.09

THE LAST OF US 01.09 : “Look For The Light”

[rattleysworld]

Thinking about Joel going through that hospital and thinking about that game and that Chef Boyardee shit in his pack and promising to himself that Ellie would still get them.

[disaster-nicole]

TLOU ep.8 spoilers

When Joel finds Ellie at the end of the episode, the first thing he says to her is "It's me". Normally, that could read as a comfort, a victorious sentiment of 'it's alright, I'm here now'. But the way he says it, it sounds more like confusion. He doesn't immediately understand why her reaction is as desperate and violent as it is even when she's facing him. He doesn't yet understand why he has to clarify for her that it's him. He is genuinely confused.

Only then, when she settles a little, do the realizations come flooding for Joel. Now he processes just how disheveled and scared and frantic she is. He's never seen her in a state like this, which he knows can only mean one thing - whatever Ellie has just been through, it has been so much worse than anything they've faced together before now.

And he says it again, "It's me", and then he says "It's okay". And this time it is a comfort, a statement of safety.

And Ellie starts trying to explain, but she can't get anything coherent out so she just collapses into his arms and hugs him.

Joel is not stupid, and he is not a wishful thinker. He knows that Ellie is a 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped by unknown men, was gone for hours, and who has now emerged from a burning building covered in blood and so traumatized that she screams and struggles the moment he touches her. He knows what these signs all point to, and the absolute terror that he must feel, fearing what Ellie probably went through. It would be paralyzing to any parent.

So he just repeats "It's okay." And he says "babygirl", and he says "I got you", because that's how he comforts his daughters. As much as he didn't want to admit it, Ellie is his daughter now, and he promised himself he'd do anything to protect her, and that's all he knows how to do in this moment. To tell her that he's here, he's him, she's safe. That it's okay.

They both know that it isn't but, fuck, what else can you do?
