“One Phrase… And He Managed To Destroy All The Problems I’ve Been Carrying.” 

What people think writing is like: careful planning and thought out plotlines

What writing is actually like: being possessed by an idea that you are constantly arguing with

“May I?” “You may.”

Bill Nye for most of his career: Imma do science for kids. Science without politics. Nice, tame science for the kiddos.

Bill Nye now:

This is stunning!! I just want them to have one soft moment. All of them.

just give them a hug.

the thing about the way that eddie talks is that he doesn’t leave room for doubt or misinterpretation when it comes to telling buck exactly what role he has in the diaz boys’ lives. “there’s no one else I trust more with my son.” “no one else will fight for my son as hard as you.” “that’s what I want for him.”

it’s not “I trust you” or “I appreciate how much you love my son”, no. eddie has told Buck over and over again that he’s his number one.

Being a social outcast for being a nerd isn’t that accurate anymore, cause being a nerd is more socially acceptable and cool than 50 years ago. So, consider this: Peter Parker being a social outcast not only cause he is a nerd but also cause he is a trans boy

It may just be because I’ve read too many Buddie fanfics but I love sweet, soft, casual but loving intimacy between buck and Eddie.

Things like hugging, bumping shoulders, hand holding (hand squeezing), forehead touching, forehead kissing, hand kissing, etc.

Just that casual soft intimacy between two people.

how do people listen to sleeping at last and not go absolutely bonkers?? Like

“forgiveness is a lesson he cursed you to learn”??? “darkness exists to make light truly count”??? “may our stories catch fire and burn bright enough to catch God’s eye”??? “we pray we were made in the image of a figure eight”??? “if truth is north then I am true south”??? “It’s so exhausting on this silver screen where I play the role of anyone but me”??? “I’ve been less than half myself for more than half my life”??? “God knows, I am dissonance waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune”??? “I bend the definition of faith to exonerate my blind eye”??? “pain is a well-intentioned weatherman predicting God as best he can, but God I wanna feel again”??? “our stained glass means nothing without light”??? “in our grey matter all grey matters”??? “sign language is our reply when church bells make no sound”??? “for in our great sorrow we learn what joy means”??? “I’ll try and find the image of God in mountains made of ash and clouds of smoke”??? “they’re calling off the war on account of losing track of what we’re fighting for”??? “if brokenness is a form of art, I must be a poster child prodigy”??? “it’s a cruel, cruel trick how we find ourselves when we lose everything else”???

There are so many more but these are just my favorites
