“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”
— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)
making eyes at this husk around my heart, i see through you when we’re sitting in the dark, so give me your filth and make it rough— let me, let me trash your love. i will sing to you every day, if it will take away the pain, oh, and i’ve heard you’ve got it, got it so bad because i am the best you’ll never have btw if u even care
So, Pete posted this cute pic of him and his cat, right?
and it has this background music, "Beauty Queen" by Vienna Vienna. Well:
youtube
The video's description has the lyrics and the artist's gloss:
"Beauty Queen is a song I never thought would see the light of day. It’s a desperate, unfiltered plea for acceptance, and a yearning to be seen, while simultaneously hiding everything. It captures a feeling that, for years, I hadn’t been able to escape as a closeted Queer person. It’s the first song I’m releasing in a long line of (finally) sincere music. I’m excited to share this new chapter with you, and the world." -Vienna Vienna
LYRICS:
You’re like a wave you always pull me in but with the moon you push away again
Letting me know If I’m not perfect, I’m not anything
Now it’s raining with adrenaline I overdose
Some days you dress me and it’s beautiful
Some days I’m naked with nothing to hold
Tell me you hate me, and it’s all my fault I must be crazy
Let me be your beauty queen
Wrap me up in therapy
You could be my everything
I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything, anything
I’ll be your beauty queen
Now I’m dancing with your ghost again
Everytime we die you fill me in, I’m diagnosed
Something wrong I feel it sinking in
Then we start to float away again
To the unknown
Some days you dress me and it’s beautiful
Some days I’m naked with nothing to hold
Tell me you hate me, and it’s all my fault
I must be crazy
Let me be your beauty queen
Wrap me up in therapy
You could be my everything
I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything, anything I–
I’ll be your beauty queen
If you let me in
Then I’ll, then I’ll, then I’ll
Let me in and I’ll, and I’ll-
If you let me in
At all, at all
Let me be your beauty queen
Wrap me up in therapy
You could be my everything I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything
