The fact that I'm not hiking over an unfathomably large stretch of wilderness, completely untouched by man right now is really cramping my style
You two! We're at the end of the universe, all right? Right at the edge of knowledge itself and you're busy... blogging!
DOCTOR WHO (2005 -) I 3.11 - Utopia
Ocean Vuong, Night Sky With Exit Wounds.
Come in from a run in the November morning, raise the blinds, let the sun soak the carpet and the dog curls in the warmth to rest. Decide on chocolate chip pancakes, and though it’s only just for you and though you can never get the consistency just right, it’s always the thought that counts. Hum, batter dripping from the whisk. You’ve been listening to jazz so much more, admiring the way the piano pours like molasses. Across the room, the heater kicks on. A handful of chocolate chips that never make it to the bowl. Your thick socks on the cool kitchen tile. A smile flirts with the corners of your mouth. This. This is how you learn to make the mornings yours.

I saw this post and haven't known peace since
blood runs thicker than water (but both feel the same when your eyes are closed)
there’s just something so satisfying about a super powered nazi being taken down thanks to her being a racist bitch to a black man. Then getting curb stomped by an asian woman whose brother she killed, a bi woman, and a blonde haired blue eyed super that was her bastard of a husband’s perfect superhuman. What finally put her down is the boy she tried to indoctrinate with her racist garbage.
never thought I'd ever cheer the warrior woman putting on a wedding dress but my god does war of the rohirrim subvert that in the best of ways
One day you'll wake up to the smell of something baking in the oven and the warm summer breeze wafting through your window and hitting you in the face and you go downstairs to a tiny kitchen and your wife is making breakfast and kisses your little nose and you go outside to have a picnic until it starts to rain and you run inside and sit by the fire to get warm until bed time and everything will be ok but you just gotta wait I promise you your time will come ok
Its just me, my books, my pressed flowers and my plant babies against the world✨🌿🍓🍄🌤📖🍂🌻
