A Relationship Should Be Fifty-fifty. She Lays Me Gently In The Cold Dark Earth And I Crawl Home To Her.

tbh the real advice I’d give to anyone is, do shit alone. go to a museum & go at your own pace & leave the instant you’re done. go somewhere you’ve never been and just wander around, duck into & out of places as it pleases you. linger as long as you’d like.

it is important to note that i am someones younger sibling. that is integral to my character.

be sure to leave out milk and cookies for brutus tonight

I love you monstrous girls 💖 I love you corruption arcs 💖 I love you choosing revenge over forgiveness 💖 I love you choosing power over love 💖 I love you girls with sharp teeth finally biting down on what they want 💖

𝒲𝒾𝓏𝓏 is the best way to meet new friends 💕

it's a feniminopticon

everytime i see someone add the “have” to kanej’s “i would come for you” quote i can feel my life force draining

it's not a true pet peeve but when certain phrases are divorced from their contexts it does give me a weird little butterfly in my stomach.

like, okay. "hell is other people" is an excellent line from Sartre's play "no exit". it's very short, you could probably read it in an afternoon or two. but the line isn't making a commentary about all people - it's actually specifically about the 3 characters in the play. they're all very bad people who are legitimately being punished in-actual-hell. they are forced into a room together for eternity & have been hand-picked to be as annoying as possible to each other as punishment for the sins they committed while alive.

and that concept is crazy! i don't write fanfiction but imagine what characters would be actual torture for each other! "hell is other people" isn't condemning humanity - it is saying we create hell from other people.

or like - shakespeare's "brevity is the soul of wit"! that is a joke line said by a joke character. polonius constantly talks too much and says fucking nothing of use. while hamlet is having like, the worst year of anyone's life - polonius gives really fucking vague and useless advice, including such popular sayings as: "to thine own self be true" and "neither a borrower or a lender be." when he says brevity is the soul of wit, it is meant ironically for the audience - this is a man who never shuts the fuck up. he himself is not brief, and therefore witless.

stuff like this just makes me wonder like - how many idioms or sayings come from completely different contexts and we just. fogrgot :(
