My Favorite Losers

whenever i say “screaming crying throwing up” this is what i mean

wanna make out??

reference:

esta situación es absolutamente surreal. en medio del laburo miro el teléfono y en un grupo estaban coordinando la toma de la facultad y en el otro informando de la muerte del one directioner.

oh to stroke her hair… to hold her face in my palms and brush my finger against her lips, to hold her hand when she’s cold and kiss her on the forehead… oh to gift her a flower found on the ground… and to smile when she speaks… oh to kiss her on the neck and wrap my arms around her waist… oh to be close to her

You stand above your brother in his bed, occupied now by more than just pillows and blankets, for the woman at his back is fair and terrifying, even in sleep. You look between them, and you stand above your brother and think -

Is it too late to kill him now?

There are no ships on the horizon - yet - and if you present a body along with the stolen wife when the husband turns up, will that break the omen your mother dreamed?

Is it too late to kill him now?

You drop your hand down - perhaps to close around his throat, another already clutching one of those many, many pillows, and in the dark it'd be easy, wouldn't it? All you do is caress his cheek, your fingers digging stiffly into the pillow. He exhales, a tender shallow ease of breath, and there is this little smile on his lips.

You stand above your brother in his bed, there are ships on the shore, and you have cursed him for a plague, a bane, a cruelty raised by the Olympian to bring your house down, and -

it's too late to kill him now.

It'd be easy to do it, however. You carry a dagger at your belt even now, having left your own bed. Or you could perhaps stir up one of your other brothers, the city, some of your father's council. The baby was almost killed once, after all; what would it matter if it was realized now? Kin-blood believed to have been spilled is surely no less polluting than it being done in reality. The attempt might only have been in the handing over of a fragile infant into another's hands, handed over into the bosom of a mountain, wild and no place for such a tender little being.

But the mountain had been merciful, and nurtured instead of torn asunder, and now you're standing above your brother in his bed.

It's too late to kill him now, but would anyone blame you, blame anyone at all they might suspect, as much as they hate him, a hatred unsaid? Simmering. You don't know how he walks through the palace, the city, his life and not cower from the knowledge; he can't not know.

Your brother - pretty, soft, laughing, shining - doomed and dooming all of you from the start. What does an infant know of causing death? Your father tried to kill an innocent. Some of your brothers attempted it next, an innocent only wishing to reclaim what he thought belonged to him and them not knowing who the slave they felt so insulted by was.

Perhaps it's only fair he will kill you all, merely by existing, by batting those ridiculous lashes to lure the woman still sleeping at his back out of her home, her marriage, her life, and into yours.

You stand above your brother in his bed, and brush your knuckles down his cheek.

It's too late to kill him now, and no matter that you've cursed him and wished him dead - to his face, to your parents' faces, but never to anyone else's - with every angry word to spit at him there's always this echo of the wide, wide eyes, the trembling hand in yours as you help him up from kneeling next to the altar in your head.

Your little brother, that you failed to protect when he was born. And what are you if you don't protect? It's too late to kill him now, anyway. Was always too late.

You meet the gleaming whites of Helen's gaze in the darkness, watching her smooth her grip on your brother's arm into a stroke. Both of you can feel the relief staining the air as you turn away, pretending like she wasn't ready to help you.

You leave your brother in his bed.

Guy whose wife comes out to him as a lesbian and he just sighs and starts googling ‘estrogen near me’

This is me trying to handle my problems, knowing it's too much for my brain, but still to shy and a coward so i won't ask for help to my fellow human beings (also known as friends)

Ha ha relatable am i right?

Banning abortions doesn't stop abortions. It stops women from getting safe abortions & forces them to look for other dangerous alternatives, putting more women's lives at risk. It is fucking evil that women's healthcare is being taken away from us. Pro lifers but willing to put millions of women's lives at risk by seeking out backstreet abortions & being forced to carry the pregnancy out full term. Today is a dark day to be a woman

But never let me die without a struggle and without acclaim

Much like Darth Vader, I too have an unhealthy obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi. I mean have you seen him
