Can Somebody Grab And Hug Me Like This?

There is no way illusions can come to life. You should stop dreaming soon.

Perfect Blue パーフェクトブルー 1997 | dir. Satoshi Kon

I wanted to kill you. I really wanted to. So why… why did I not? I wonder. Rather than wanting to kill you, why was I more worried that you would never wake up? That's because… I do not consider life that valuable yet. No. That was not why. I wanted to ask you… what I should do now? I cannot even kill you anymore. How am I supposed to live now? You are the only one who tells me to survive. You told me to live dreaming of the day I would kill you. My enemy, who risked his life to protect me, might know how to go about it.

“There’s a very long one-take, one-camera shot that lasts for a very long time, and when you’re watching it, you don’t note that. You don’t realize that because they are so magnetic.” — Taylor Swift

It’s been almost ten years since I joined Tumblr. I honestly can’t remember the last time I wasn’t using this platform. My love for GIFs, edits, and commentary led me to dedicate this blog to the GIFs, photos, and tropes I loOove.

Every now and then — though rarely — I post my own GIFs. So I want to make this clear to anyone who might come across this blog :

I have no intention of claiming these tropes as my own — I simply reblog GIFs and posts that I find inspiring for my writing. All credit goes to the original creators.

Here are some of the tropes that have inspired me lately :

✨ Artist who suffers for their art

✔️ A character driven to obsession by their craft

✔️ Someone losing everything (love, health, stability) for the sake of their art

✔️ The struggle between creating for passion vs creating for recognition.

🍬 The girly girl

✔️ A girl or woman who adores dresses, perfume, and jewelry

✔️ Loving pink but being underestimated because of it

✔️ Using femininity as a strength (think charm, wit, or softness).

💎 The Queen Bee

✔️ The girl everyone wants to be — or be with

✔️ Ruling the social hierarchy with a glamorous yet intimidating presence

✔️ Vulnerability hidden beneath the perfect facade.

🌹 The Mad Woman

✔️ A woman labeled "mad" for refusing to conform to societal norms

✔️ A descent into madness, fueled by betrayal, loss, or isolation

✔️ The eerie calm of someone who has embraced their madness.

🧸Motherhood

✔️ A mom who gives up everything (her dreams, safety, even life) for her child.

✔️ Her absence shapes the protagonist’s journey.

✔️ A morally grey or “bad” character finds purpose or redemption through motherhood.

🛠️ Fatherhood

✔️ Often emotionally reserved or absent, struggling to express love or vulnerability.

✔️ Motivated by duty, legacy, or protection — even if it comes at the cost of closeness.

✔️ Usually shaped by generational expectations, personal failure, or trauma.

🐞The Girl Next Door

✔️ She’s kind, emotionally open, and easy to talk to.

✔️ She can endure pain or betrayal but still assert boundaries.

✔️ She doesn’t dominate the room, but holds power in quiet resolve.

🫀 Enemies to Lovers

✔️ They start off disliking, distrusting, or competing with each other.

✔️ Circumstances (work, missions, being neighbors, etc.) force them to spend time together.

✔️ They assume the worst of each other — until proven wrong. The hatred never comes from true malice — it’s pride, fear, hurt, or misunderstanding

✔️ They fall not in spite of the challenge, but because they see strength and worth in each other.
