Another one for Trope Tuesday! Same guy but different trope!
When they’re so hurt and weary they can barely hold their hand up, in this case, to drink or even touch their rescuer… Goodness.
Michiel Huisman from the movie “The Ottoman Lieutenant”, so much whump by the end of this movie, you are not prepared..
I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU

I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU TOO, MAISON!!! :D!!
because of him, i stopped apologizing for how much i love and how i show it. because of him, i smile and laugh all the time.
because of him, i learned that i never needed to earn anyone's love. love isn't something to be earned.
his love makes me feel the happiest i have ever been. my heart sings me to sleep just thinking about him. he is my reason.
i lived life without him before but now i can't imagine living it without him by my side.
having someone as sweet and gentle as he is to care about me, and to show me that all my imperfections deserve to be loved also is one of the best feelings ever. it feels like he has given me a second chance to live again.
i love him with everything i have and i will never go back. i owe him everything, and i would pick him in every life after this one.
i am the luckiest girl in the world.
Hi, I just finished who knows who cares and I wanted to tell you how much Lily’s bisexual identity journey has effected me and how much it has helped me realise that it’s ok not to love conventionally. This fic and especially this Lily will always be apart of me and my bisexuality now and I would like to forever thank you for making it happen :)
Oh gosh, this means the world to me :') Thank you so much for reading this story and sending me this lovely message! I'm so honored that wkwc Lily gets to be intertwined with your life in this way <3 Here's to loving in whatever way you want to love!
recently for the last couple of months i let being mean become a part of my identity: i was uncaring and nihilistic and jaded and i started to become okay with that, but the truth is that i am not nor do i ever hope to truly become so. i am compassionate and caring and the world has too much happiness in it for me to ever want to accept its hatred. i am good. i am kind

Yugi had only just walked in when suddenly his back was against the wall. He only had one moment for his eyes to widen, inhaling sharply in shock as he was all but devoured. But those lips quickly made him melt, returning each one as he let out a tiny noise of delight. When finally they parted, he panted and chuckled breathlessly. “I take it you missed me?”
