does anyone else ever think about how the daguerreotype picture of Robin's cohort goes to die with him, while Griffin's letter lives on with Victoire? how she gives him the photo, because he's the one who can't live after what he's lost, while, hard as it is, she's ready to leave them behind and keep going. how meanwhile, the letter was meant for Robin who never even read it, unable to look to the future like Victoire

how the friendship is gone, but the need for revolution continues

because I do, and now I'm crying again

sorry for [remembering a tumblr post about expressing gratitude instead of apologising to make the interaction more positive for the other person] i mean thank you for having a boyfriend who was so easy to run over withmy car and reverse over three times maybe four

[wulfhalls]

forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the makeup industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. in fact. im doing none of that

[cumaeansibyl]

yeah I have political reasons for it now but my original and still most powerful reason is "I am not getting out of this bed one single second before I have to"

“Years ago a friend of mine had a dream about a strange invention; a staircase you could descend deep underground, in which you heard recordings of all the things anyone had ever said about you, both good and bad. The catch was, you had to pass through all the worst things people had said before you could get to the highest compliments at the very bottom. There is no way I would ever make it more than two and a half steps down such a staircase, but I understand its terrible logic: if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.”

after YEARS of seeing this quote online and finding it to be the most deeply and resoundingly profound writing i finally found the source article and absolutely nothing could prepare me for this opening paragraph

[bi-icon]

Okay but the whole article is really interesting and also contains this quote which I’ve never heard before but really like:

“Anyone worth knowing is inevitably also going to be exasperating”

[tlirsgender]

Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to "you" being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I'd have no other option but to try and kill them

[tlirsgender]

It's always "oh no my evil clone or twin or whatever is trying to kill me" and never How is my evil clone? Says a lot about society

[tlirsgender]

Me, crashing the fuck out: you think you're better than me? You think you're fucking better than me???

My good clone, dodging a glass: I mean like objectively yeah

For blind/visually impaired folks: The instruments being used to recreate these songs are two kazoos, a plastic shopping bag, a metal colander pot, a basting brush, an empty water jug, and a thin sheet of plastic, all being played by two people in an empty parking garage for the acoustics

For deaf/HoH folks: The songs being played here are near perfect renditions of the 20th Century Fox theme, the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, and the Mission Impossible theme

[interestingmistakes]

I can't get over how he just grabs her head and shakes while she plays kazoo to make the opening trill to the mission impossible theme

It is true in my heart of hearts that everyone. or at least a solid majority of people. genuinely think the inciting incident of the HuntervHollander fight is that Scott called Shane a slur. I’m being serious. There is very little that could get Hockey’s Two Goodest Boys beating each other up especially with the genuine rage Shane was displaying there. A week after the fight Shane and Scott’s agents have to force them to separately release statements that are just “I did not say something racist to one of the only Asian players in the league” and “I did not try to kill Scott because he said a racist slur to me” because the hockey community is tearing them to SHREDS absolutely convinced Scott said some heinous shit to get Shane to react like that. Which. He did. But it was a gay-on-gay hate crime and nobody was guessing that.

[megamindsupremacy]

That being said, the public reaction also gets flipped a complete 180 after Scott comes out. The new prevailing theory is that Scott hinted at being gay and Shane immediately tried to do a homophobia about it. Suddenly Shane is getting canceled over alleged homophobia. This would be the funniest thing to ever happen to Ilya if Shane wasn’t freaking out to him about being associated with the concept of being gay even in a homophobic way. Scott and Shane have to release ANOTHER pair of statements which are “I was not trying to commit a hate crime, I did not know Scott was gay at this point in time” and “I did not tell Hollander I was gay to instigate a fight”. Once again, only some people believe them.

[megamindsupremacy]

Hollanov comes out and Scott’s public response is to tweet a clip of their fight and an “I’ve known for a while”. it is ONLY at this point that people start putting together what actually fucking happened that one time five years ago Hollander randomly tried to kill Hunter “unprovoked”. And obviously Ilya fighting for his man’s life in the comments is what confirms everything.

It's been a decade and a half since I watched yugioh, did kaiba know his rival was a ghost possessing a kid or was he just like that

[demilypyro]

He diagnosed yugi with DID and thought nothing further of it

returning to a meme from some time ago

[gatheringbones]

if you get abused and form a fixation on “catching up” with who you could have been if your life hadn’t been fucked with you’re in for such a bad time dear god

[gatheringbones]

you never will, they’ll always be better and more put together than you, the sense of waste and shame of it all will disembowel you more and more over the years, don’t even start

[gatheringbones]

you can’t protestant work ethic your way out of the legacy of being abused.

those years were stolen and eaten. those opportunities were taken from you. those avenues were closed off. those neural pathways were cauterized. there’s nowhere to return to. none of it will ever come back. you will be wounded and deranged for the rest of your days. and thank god for that.

[bn-stands-for-book-nerd]

Not to mention it's by definition impossible to catch up. Because the "other" doesn't exist, you just make it up. You're like a soccer player running on a treadmill waiting for the goal to get close enough for a shot.

Be who you are. If it's fucked up, it's fucked up. Just try to work on those panic attacks and accept that there is nothing that would make you any less valuable, and surely not not catching up with some fantasy of "how you might have been".
