I love you. With everything in me. All I am is yours. Brokenness and all.

Broken Harbor - Catherine Cowles

Broken Harbor thought brought to you by Empty: "That house had a gas leak."

[wholesomeobsessive]

Sometime since then, we started turning feral. Wild got into the air like a virus, and it’s spreading. Watch the packs of kids roaming inner-city estates, mindless and brakeless as baboons, looking for something or someone to wreck. Watch the businessmen shoving past pregnant women for a seat on the train, using their 4x4s to force smaller cars out of their way, purple-faced and outraged when the world dares to contradict them. Watch the teenagers throw screaming stamping tantrums when, for once, they can’t have it the second they want it. Everything that stops us being animals is eroding, washing away like sand, going and gone. The final step into feral is murder.

deep hatred of women who

dye their hair blond

straighten their hair

use tanning salons

try to be skinny

corresponding deep hatred of female pop musicians/reality tv as symbols of everything unworthy in the world

tfw the prose so good that canon review makes the fanfic writer despair of creating anything worthwhile at all ever

honestly having ur favorite character being burned at the stake or physically tortured would somehow be less agonizing than watching the emotional torture they’re going through during this Tense Conversation
