Currently falling apart with exhaustion

But curious what songs remind you of past lovers (and probably always will)

I don’t know you; you don’t owe me

No context

And especially no judgements

I’ll go first

We looks like giants / death cab for cutie

My followers: And is this “writing” you’ve been “working on” in the room with us right now?

Arab mother attacked and 6 year old murdered in Chicago in Islamaphobic hate crime. It's 2002 all over again.

His name was Wadea al-Fayoum and he’d just turned six…

really want a girl to hide me in her ridiculously oversized sweatshirt so i can be safe from The Problems™️

I know everyone loves talking about Katniss and Peeta being affectionate in everyday life and mirroring her parents, but I also go crazy about them being affectionate and Peeta realizing he has a safe home filled with love unlike his parents. I just imagine him remembering his parents just tensely being with each other and contrasting that with him and Katniss who are always touching in some way and greet each other with kisses and hugs.

no because throughout the first two books he’s so physically affectionate to her (even though i’d assume this isn’t learned behaviour from his home) can you IMAGINE what it’s like when they’re safe and living together and in an established relationship? when he realises that she enjoys and takes comfort from his affections??

my favorite thing to do you ask? reading the updates while completely ignoring the fact that the fic is ending soon 🧍🏾‍♀️

My current mood trying to finish liab:

I feel like TLP Donnie is very relatable! At least, I know I've seen parts of myself in him when reading. Do you draw inspiration from things or people in your own life when writing/drawing TLP?

I draw partially on my own life experiences! Although I do like amp them up a whole lot for TLP Donnie.

When I was a kid I never had much control over my life especially regarding things I liked to do. Every time I expressed an interest in something my parents would see that as an opportunity to make me get really really good at it so that I could get scholarships one day.

Like I used to love playing volleyball I got really into it but then my parents made me continuously play club volleyball to the point where I was so miserable and I ended up sinking into a very bad depression 🤪. Same happened with swimming and also basketball and tennis and well mostly sports related activities lol

I’m sure you can see the connection between those experiences and what TLP Donnie is going through lol

There’s more like parts of my life that I want to explore through TLP Donnie like my eating disorder, depression, and anxiety but I won’t get into those too much because I don’t know how much I’m going to incorporate them into the comic and the narrative

I also don’t want to like only exclusively use the bad parts of my life as inspiration for TLP Donnie because I am an adult now and having freedom from my parents has helped me like figure out myself a whole lot more.

Like because of how exercise and sports were treated when I was a kid I stopped doing them even though I do like them! I started swimming again a few weeks ago and I’ve been really having fun! And I’ve always had fun swimming but now I’m actually able to control how much I swim and how often and it’s been so much better for me than having to stick with the schedule my parents set out for me. And I do want TLP Donnie to have that experience too of falling in love with something again if that makes sense so eventually he will start to love dancing and ballet again because he can do them on his own terms but that won’t be for a while :)

STARTER CALL .

like for a starter from derek hale 🤍

I remember back when The Mountain Goats No Children was a meme on here seeing a post that went “I hope you live, i hope we both live,” and it making me SO angry…

And this was before I had ever even listened to the song (or anything by TMG for that matter), but now, knowing that John wrote the song, and specifically the line “I hope you die, I hope we both die” in response to radio overplay of the sugary sweet I Hope You Dance, I feel even more vindicated, because like.

Yes. Ultimately my overall life philosophy is that I hope we all live… I would hope that goes without saying. But No Children isn’t a life philosophy. It’s about how sometimes everything sucks and you feel like shit and trapped and hopeless and angry and I HOPE YOU DIE, I HOPE WE BOTH DIE!!!!!!!!! And who can’t relate to that? Who has NEVER felt like that in their lives??????

I feel a little silly accusing what was ultimately just a joke meme post of Toxic Positivity, but that was the vibe I was getting from it, which is why it made me mad. As though it was sticking up its nose at a song it clearly had no understanding of and going “well I hope we both LIVE 😇😇” and like. Fuck you lol. It’s okay to feel negative emotions. It’s okay to be angry.

I’ve had like the worst week in my entire life, and I can just imagine Hotch comforting reader and just making sure she knows she’s loved. Man I wish I had that :( I feel like he would be so SO cuddly and just like constantly checking in reader to make sure she’s actually okay.

posting this as an emergency before the week ends so it’s on time 💗💗 i’m so sorry you haven’t been okay, sweets :(( i hope it gets better for you super super soon and that as soon as monday comes good things are back in your life <33

listen. you are important to aaron. which means that he worries about you constantly. it matters so much to him that you’re okay, that you’re happy. so he always makes sure you are!

when he’s away for work you get a text from him every half an hour, even if it’s just a heart emoji, that you’ve shown him how to use! or maybe a quick “i love you” or “missing you like crazy”. anything to show you that you’re on his mind!

and when he finds time to call you, he is so so soooo sweet. he calls you sooo many pet names and his voice gets all soft and he tells you about how much he misses you and how he’s going to hold you all night long 🥺🥺🥹🥹💗🫠

and when he’s at home he’s aaaaall over you <33 when he knows you’re not doing okay he holds you so you can maybe cry in his arms, or talk…or you can just be quiet and he rubs your back and kisses the top of your head 🥺

he tells you that everything is going to be okay. that you’re never alone because he’s always gonna be right there to protect you and love you 🥹 forever 🥺🥺💖

he makes sure you eat well!! and that you’re hydrated! he will cook for you and bring you water or your vitamins or he’ll make you some nice tea or coffee! anything you want!! :))

and ohhh the cuddles!!! <3333 you’re attached to him the whole time, he literally gives you no other choice. he wants you there. and you just snuggle into his neck and smell him and kiss him and everything is just…better. it’s safe there. you know you’ll be okay because he’s got you!

he makes sure you know that no matter how awful everything feels at the moment, it’s not forever! because good things will come again! and you’re gonna be happy and you’re gonna be smiling again! and he’s gonna be there every time, for every smile or tear, you’re never gonna be alone, he’ll be right there by your side <33
