dancing by myself

24, she/her, USA, shipper extraordinaire. I love music, anime, manga, fan fiction, puns, quotes, and otherwise interesting things (though that is subjective of course). I'm also into the Flash and other Arrowverse shows. this blog isbecoming a 90% YOI blog. I'm not sorry. I also love Durarara and Haikyuu a lot (for shipping material). Please talk to me about Viktuuri, OiHina, TsukiHina, MikaYuu, MakoHaru, and Shizaya. I also tend to get overwhelmed, so if you want me to follow you back, feel free to message me!

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

[BTS] Magic Shop (Translated Accurately & Poetically)

I know you’re hesitating, because all your spoken truths

Eventually come back to you and become your scars.

I won’t be repeating the same old empty encouragements.

My story, that’s what I’ll tell you, tell you.

What did I say,

I said we would win.

I didn’t believe (truly) that we could win.

This miracle, not truly a miracle, did we make this happen

(No) I stood still, right here,

It was you who came to me.

I do believe your galaxy,

I want to hear your melody.

The stars of your galaxy, how would they embroider your skies.

At the ends of my despair,

That’s where I finally found you, don’t forget.

I was on a cliff edge, you were my last reason.

Live.

On days you hate to be you, on days you wish you could forever disappear,

Let’s make a door, in your heart.

Open the door, go inside, and this will be what’s awaiting you.

You can trust this. To console you, a magic shop.

Sipping a warm cup of tea,

Gazing up at that galaxy,

You’ll be okay, oh, this is a magic shop.

So show me (I’ll show you)

So show me (I’ll show you)

So show me (I’ll show you)

Show you, show you

When you bloom, a rose

When you dance, cherry blossoms

When you set, morning glories (morning glories)

That one beautiful moment (that fleeting moment)

I always wanted to be the best.

So I was impatient, always restless.

Comparing others to me became the norm.

My weapon, my desire, it bound me tight, became a leash.

But hey, when I look back, to be honest I

Don’t think being the best was what I wanted to be.

Solace, emotion, that’s what I wanted to be.

Your sadness, your pain, I want to ease that from you.

On days you hate to be you, on days you wish you could forever disappear,

Let’s make a door, in your heart.

Open the door, go inside, and this will be what’s awaiting you.

You can trust this. To console you, a magic shop.

Sipping a warm cup of tea,

Gazing up at that galaxy,

You’ll be okay, oh, this is a magic shop.

So show me (I’ll show you)

So show me (I’ll show you)

So show me (I’ll show you)

Show you, show you

If I say I was afraid of everything too, would you believe me (believe me)

All of my truths (truths), the time I had left.

All of your answers are here where you found it (right here)

Written in your stars, written in your heart.

You gave me the best of me

So you’ll give you the best of you

You found me (found me), you saw me, knew me

You gave me the best of me

So you’ll give you the best of you

You can find it, inside you there’s a galaxy

So show me (I’ll show you)

So show me (I’ll show you)

So show me (I’ll show you)

Show you, show you

I blazed this post yesterday as a kind of "event" for one of Tumblr's unofficial "holidays", and right now it's a little bit past the halfway point in the campaign (it was approved later than I expected).

I have to say it's not doing badly, and has been an interesting experience to follow!

[manyblinkinglights]

Is this literally what it is? It’s just It’s Gonna Be May but we’re riffing on his hair? Please, I’m so gullible. This is the real thing that it is, right?

[thischick25]

Yup! It went from captioned screenshots or gifs of Justin Timberlake from the music video making fun of his pronunciation of "me" as "may" (+/- the "roses are red" type poetry), that specifically say "It's Gonna Be May",

To unrelated (and often uncaptioned) pictures of Justin from any old thing/era, that people understood as "it's gonna be May",

To an obscure reference to his "ramen noodle hair" era vis-a-vis a block of uncooked ramen that takes the place of the picture of Justin!

So now, during the last week of April when you see:

Roses are red,

April is grey,

But in a few days,

Then you understand via the chain of logic that "uncooked ramen noodles" = unrelated photo of Justin Timberlake = "it's gonna be May"!

[curlicuecal]

This is one of my favorite memes because it's so many levels iterated from the original. :3

Anyway here's another:

[lizardlicks]

it's like the dodge ball now representing Apollos gift of prophecy to random Tumblr posts. we're starting to speak in hieroglyphics

[fellshish]

The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

[rebornofstars-deactivated202510]

you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared

[galadriel1010]

This. Writing is not like dinner. It can be consumed many times

My favorite response to “that’s not a word” is “then why do you know what it means?”

[eshesmites]

Every time someone within 30 miles of me says “that’s a made up word” I am uncontrollably compelled to respond “ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP!”

[felixcloud6288]

In a college language class I took, we talked about the Jabberwocky poem and the professor had us try to explain every word in it. When we got to ‘outgrabe’ she asked why it was past tense and my response was “Cause the present tense is outgribe”. Her response was “That doesn’t answer the question but that brings up a better one. Why do you know that?”

“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week

[greelin]

people inherently deserve to have a roof over their heads and to eat and live comfortably. not tied to whatever work they do or do not do. Shocking, i know

May you attract those who know you on a soul level. May you attract those who lift your spirit up. May you attract those with pure and loving intentions. May you attract those who genuinely want to see you flourish. May you attract those who are happy for your abundance. May you attract those who inspire you to keep going.

[swanjolras-blog-archive-deactiv]

gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining

because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe

and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us— we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them

and then

we built robots?

and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image

and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone

but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?

the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.

and they told us to tell you hello.

Look at your wrist, see the blueish veins? The blood flowing through them contains hemoglobin, a protein that has four iron atoms incorporated into its structure. Iron is only naturally produced in one place, it can only be forged in the core of dying stars.

Every time you look at your veins, remember that you are built from, and kept alive by, pieces of stardust.

“Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.”
