i like you, i like everything about you, i like your smile, your hair, your voice, talking about you, talking to you, seeing pictures of your cat, your name, your profile picture, anything you do, your eyes, your nose, your eyeliner, your tiny little dimples, your birthday, your favorite color, your interests, you hobbies, you responding to my stories,, just, you.

do you put "!!" after every sentence or are you heterosexual

Physically, I'm sitting on a couch. But mentally, I'm in a duel, staring right into my enemy's eyes a she tips my head up with her sword. In a very homoerotic context.

my toxic trait is carelessly getting dressed in front of open windows because if someone wants to look in, that’s their problem

[si11yg00se]

so i just ordered a binder without my parents knowledge and i’m really scared abt what their reaction will be bc my dad is super conservative and my mom is very religous and when i tried to tell her abt my sexuality she hit me with the “it’s just a phase.” I feel very secure with my gender identity as a female so just think i would be much more comfortable with myself if i had none at all yknow like i would just be so comfy with no titties at all and if i looked like a prepubescent boy but i *am* in fact a woman🧍‍♀️if they act funny i’ll just tell em im getting into cosplay bc then instead of getting hatecrimed by them i’ll just get bullied for watching anime😩🙏

playlist for different moods

heart rush - for when you are smitten and blush everytime you see someone

oh, honey honey - that romantic comedy type of love that you wish to have one day

heatwave - under the harsh sun, covered in sweat and everything feels like it’s on fire

lucky strike - it’s the middle of the day and you’re on the long empty road and the warm sticky air blows through your hair

venus in taurus - for the fragile and deeply in love 

the good side - you woke up, the sun glimmers through the window, you hear distant sounds of other lives waking up, everything will be okay

on the rocks - a party has finally died down, you and your friends are in a daze cleaning things up in a dark lit room and your skin feels like glitter and smoke

hold on a sec i’m having an out of body experience - it’s the middle of the night and you desperately want to be anywhere but here so you dance it out

graveyard shift - for when you’re driving at night going nowhere in particular, and your only companion are the soft yellow street lights and hum of your car

in the present with you - when you’re hopelessly in love and want to spend today, tomorrow, and the rest of tomorrows with someone

after hours - lights off, skin to skin, touch starved and a hunger for desire

five drinks in - alcohol swims in you as you softly sip on your drink and all you want is to place your head on someone’s shoulder, close your eyes, and feel the world slowly spin around you

levitating - you’re head is in the clouds, butterflies feel like they’re fluttering all over your skin, the world in your head feels effervescent

As far as aesthetics go I have, like, four.

• Pompous as fuck dark academia. Full works of Shakespeare, mint and chamomile tea. Cardigans, turtlenecks, wire-rimmed glasses, wood floors that creak and curtains that billow with dust, playing the harp, spending hours on the floor of a sunlit, hole-in-the-wall bookstore, losing yourself in an art museum. Also consider: vampires.

• Super dark and gritty emo-as-all-fuck type shit, grunge, punk rock. Big military boots, punch a wall, wipe blood from my face, buzz off all my hair, drinking on the curb of a sleazy drug store in the middle of the city with your best friend (who just so happens to be a vampire). The sky is pitch black and infinite above you while you have shitty metal playing from your back pocket.

• Cottagecore, gentle and silent. Baking fresh bread every morning, biking to the lake for a picnic with your beloved (who MAY OR MAY NOT be a vampire; who’s to say?). Kisses on the top of their head as you’re both just waking up. Stripes, overalls, messy hair, running out of yarn to crochet a scarf. The sky is clear, blue, and sunny, your home is more home to flowers than it is to you. Walks in the garden, cats warm from the sun, ponytails, leather boots. You stop to put a coin in the wishing well by the farmer’s market when you go to buy your fresh tomatoes and strawberries for later that evening.

• Vampires.

concept playlists

feel better;  it’s been a long week, not moving from your permanently dark bedroom, your phone forgotten under the bed with a hundred missed messages, but you’re finally opening your eyes and seeing a sliver of early morning sunlight filter in behind the curtains that a mysterious breeze blew open.

daisy chains;  it’s late spring or early summer and you’re dozing with your best friends in the grass, the slow and peaceful brush of the warm breeze keeping you in that state of just waking from a pleasant dream.

songs to run away to;  you’re packing an overnight bag and taking the first bus out of the city. you’re not exactly running away, but you don’t plan on coming back. all you know is that your only goal is to keep on running.

classical jams;  it’s your fancy neighbour’s annual ball held in their gothic castle and you’re getting turnt to tchaikovsky while very deliberately disappointing your parents who wanted you to use the occasion to find an upstanding suitor.

dark academia but it slaps;  vague fuck the school system vibes, doing stupid shit with your close friends, caffeinated all-nighters, a chaotic gleam in your eye as you throw paper planes made from your essays out of the highest window in campus, not knowing if your friend really did commit murder. in this household we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
