I have to add this because It is one of my favorite pieces from Liv's story so far

“Wait- you said you were joining glee, why am I joining?”

“You saw the atrocity that was that… Push It display. And your sister's reaction.” Liv’s smile dropped. Yeah- she saw it. Emma’s cheering for glee club right before they absolutely ruined a classic by having Kurt Hummel and his belt bag hip thrust all over it.

“I’m preparing my lawsuit against your boyfriend for making me listen to him rap,” she informed Quinn, standing up, her feet over extended to keep her freshly polished toes from sinking into the white carpet. “The trauma can’t be undone.” she grabbed a couple of foam toe dividers from her bedside table and sat down to wedge them between her toes. 

“Stop! I’m already humiliated.” Quinn groaned and fell to her side on the bed. 

“Would it be the worst thing in the world to let the Troll have her goat?” Liv asked. 

“Yes. He’s my goat- Boyfriend.” Quinn shook her head. 

“I had a goat boyfriend once. He ate my shoes, like Cinderella.” Quinn and Liv both stopped- looking up at the door where Brittany stood. 

“That’s not how that story goes… you know what- I'm going to let you have it.” Liv gave up the fight before it even started, while Quinn jumped up to tell Santana and Brittany her plan to keep her boyfriend.

The Germ: Thoughts towards Nature In Poetry, Literature, and Art

“The Germ was a magazine established in 1850 at the beginning of the Pre-Raphaelite movement by its founding members Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais and, editor and ‘historian’ of the movement, William Michael Rossetti. Born out of an idea of D G Rossetti’s, the magazine sought to circulate the creative work and radical ideas of the Pre-Raphaelites as expressed in poetry, literature and art.”

So for those of you who are unaware, in Victoria, Australia, the capital city Melbourne and its surrounds has been under Stage 4 restrictions after easing Stage 3 restrictions resulted in a massive upswing of cases and deaths.

It was 6 weeks of stage 4 and it has been extended for another 2 weeks to ensure we’re on top of the situation.

The entire time, conservatives, idiots and just general crazies have been losing their fucking minds over being expected to contain themselves to prevent mass deaths and overwhelming our health care system - ( a system that has been systematically fucked by previous, mostly Liberal (they’re conservative here) governments). They believe that they’re human rights are being violated, which is laughable. They think our current premier is a dictator... which is laughable.

They honestly believe that they are suffering... and I understand that these are difficult times and many people are doing it tough. But the people who are whinging and being vile on social media aren’t the ones who are really struggling, they are the same kinds of people that believe asylum seeking should be a crime and have no issues with our nation locking up actual refugees for years. The kinds of people who talk about the economy, but don’t give a fuck about workers or their rights.

And honestly.. I can’t deal. It’s deeply infuriating that there are people around me with so little perspective that they can’t understand that this is a complex situation.

I don’t care if you distrust the government. That’s fair. But that doesn’t entitle you to put random strangers lives at risk.

Added to this is fucking Rupert-why-isn’t-he-fucking-dead-yet-Murdoch and his not-good-enough-to-wipe-your-arse-with media telling people that they should be upset and it’s all Victoria’s fault that Australia is in recession. It’s not. We were headed there anyway, because the Liberals couldn’t manage the pocket change of a 5 year old. On top of trying to make our Hillsong humping, greedy fuck of a Prime Minister look good with faked images of him building a cubby house for his kids - who are too old for what looks like a dog house anyway???... Scummo is literally up there on the list of revolting slime bags.. but that’s a whole other story...

I am sobbing at this episode of The Resident. Like how dare they make me cry like this

[pre-raphaelisme]

All knowledge hath taught me, All sorrow hath brought me,      Are smothered sighs      That pleasure lies, Like the last gleam of evening's ray, So far and far away, – far away.       Under the cold moist herbs No wind the calm disturbs.      O when and where?      Nor here nor there. Grass cools my face, grief heats my heart. Will this life I swoon with never part?

Thomas Woolner, O When and Where

🎶 + my bestie Liv?

Ooh Okay so I have a list of songs she does for glee club (Baby is a dancer so a lot of them are amazing pop dance hits) but her theme has to be For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert

No escaping when I start, once i'm in I own your heart, there's no way to ring the alarm, so hold on until it's over

also

I bet you thought that i was soft and sweet, you thought an angel swept you off your feet

Love, strong as Death, is dead. Come, let us make his bed Among the dying flowers: A green turf at his head; And a stone at his feet, Whereon we may sit In the quiet evening hours. He was born in the Spring, And died before the harvesting: On the last warm summer day He left us; he would not stay For Autumn twilight cold and grey. Sit we by his grave, and sing He is gone away. To few chords and sad and low Sing we so: Be our eyes fixed on the grass Shadow-veiled as the years pass While we think of all that was In the long ago.

Christina Rossetti under her pseudonym Ellen Alleyn for the Germ: An End
