Let us be kindhearted! Take me to the sea at dusk.

Let me hear what the sea tells you when it returns to itself at peace.

I won't change. I will embrace a wave and say:

Take me to the sea again.

This is what the fearful do:

when a burning star torments them, they go to the sea.

Mahmoud Darwish,

After episode 7 …. I still support my toxic cannibal gfs who definitely have unhealthy power dynamics shoot me (Lottie would not understand that joke and immediately kill me for the wilderness)

Because maybe Bradley burned down all of his bridges, but Jake never had any to begin with.

I think people are put onto this earth to love each other, and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise.

See what if I just -

Erik has always had a complicated relationship with God, and Charles.

I may or may not be on my way to write a time travel fix it fic centered around Rosita, Siddiq, Gabriel and Coco because, hear me out, we give these traumatized bitches a happy ending 🥹

something something love is what matters, something something the world may be ending and we may be dying but love is still what matters, something something the world is so incredibly cruel and we owe it to each other to not be, to be kind and love eachother

it's always better to have loved.

“I’ll update the fic this week,” I say like a liar

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.

inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.

both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.
