"i just wanted to say that there's actually a longer version of the 2nd gif that I was afraid to post due to it being too... sexy..." me, holding out my bowl like oliver twist and begging for more (please and thank you)
"#it’s a good thing i only thought about his teeth/smile a normal amount before seeing this #(she said yknow like a lying liar) #NO rio’s smile/teeth do not live rent free in my head" tell me more
(x) have you seen that man’s teeth?! have you seen him SMILE WITH ALL OF THEM???? it’s like looking into the goddamn sun—all bright and captivating and i shouldn’t look as closely as i do but i can’t help it. he has so many teeth and they’re all so pretty?? idk idk there’s no way to explain without sound absolutely bonkers hahaha so i’m just gonna make you all look at a bunch of gifs of some of the toothy!rio moments that live in my mind rent free
#am i wrong or do grad students not do dark academia#i feel like we are all too mentally ill to romanticize our work?? #idk i could be wrong ijs - no, i think you're right. the first time i heard the phrase 'dark academia' i was just like 'turn a light on kids'. maybe grad students have realized that basing a big portion of your identity around being a student might not work out so great in the long run?
yeah that was my assessment of it also. like... if i could not be the kind of person who spends all their time thinking about school to the detriment of everything else you bet your ass i would not.
"#admist of all the toxic couples (well one) I ship #I'm just glad we have Awu and Xiao Qi #Awu x Xiao Qi #MY GAWD #I love them" yes exactly! they are the best and watching a couple work together and love each other just makes my heart happy
It’s just so refreshing to watch since I feel many shows build their “romantic” couples on pain and anxiety. On dark pasts and so on.
And here while Awu and Qiao Xi were a marriage of convenience first it was lovely to see them grow as a team and then as people who are in love.
hi! i saw you recommended a lot of heartbreaking fics. do you also have some fluff/fun/humour favs to suggest to mend my heart? (or if its not your thing, or don't have the time, do you know someone who might?) ty!!
so you are sort of correct that fluff is not generally my thing. so i don’t promise that all of these are in the fluff category, because i’m not entirely sure i understand what constitutes fluff? but all these fics are, i think, light on angst (or if there’s angst present they are balanced with excellent humor). i hope you enjoy!!
