Mira would push Brennan off the sofa and help Violet stand on his back.
Ridoc: The floor is lava!
Liam: *helps Sloane onto the table*
Mira: *pushes Brennan off the sofa*
Garrick: As you can see, there are two types of siblings.
The quiet, bookish recluse [who seems lonely but at least they have their pidgeons and plants on the communal roof space to keep them company]: Don't mind the protests too much, folks here just care a whole awful lot about everything. Join in when you can, don't be a dick when you can't. Ya know, if you're lucky, you can catch sight of the blooming lilacs across the way each year. Makes up a bit for the ruckus, in my opinion. We like to remember what a good man spent his life trying to teach us.
Let's all share a fond laugh when we hear the stomping march of our comrades, fix a sprig of lilac to our lapels, and join in with cries for "TRUTH! JUSTICE! FREEDOM! REASONABLY PRICED LOVE! AND A HARD-BOILED EGG!"
Using tumblr is like living in a low class apartment building. You just get used to the landlord not fixing things, and then someone new moves in and you’re helpfully like “oh yeah don’t drink the tap water, it’s got stuff in it that makes you sick” and then your neighbor you’ve had forever goes “oh they took the stuff out actually” and you’re like “what? when was this?”
“like two years ago”
“you mean i could’ve been drinking the tap water all this time?”
“yeah. they gave us individual mailboxes too finally, you don’t have to dig through the communal bin anymore”
“are you for real right now?? i just redirected my mail, i didnt know”
and the new tennant is like “why did you guys even live here if it was so bad”
“we like it.”
“I kinda miss the communal mail bin tho”

When I was little, I could sit for hours looking out the window. It could be because of a certain kind of music, or because it was dusk, or a certain slant of the light. There was a sensation in my chest, a churning. I couldn't put words to it then. But it was a knowledge that there was something out there. That there was a hole in the world. And a longing to go there. I still have that longing, but it doesn't overwhelm me like it used to. Until now. There's something about the light here that makes the longing bloom.

I am made of stardust with starlight in my soul.
