soooo today's ep, huh QwQ

I am developing such a deep understanding and sympathy for garak, honestly. It's only been a couple of weeks, but already so much of my mental and emotional well-being is wrapped up in getting to see Julian Bashir's little face Do Things on a regular basis. I can't even imagine what 7+ years of that could do to a motherfucker

I only had to start over twice 😅😘💕

Treat me ~ Tip Me ~ More of me

Phi. Hmm? Why can't I see you?

LAST TWILIGHT (2023)

also, i wonder if kieran culkin’s famous disagreement with jesse armstrong re: roman’s last scene was that jesse armstrong was like “roman has gone back to being a nasty funny playboy. the last few years were but a blip. that’s what this final scene shows,” whereas i’d say the final scene to me communicates a distinct sense of: “roman is out, roman is free, roman loves gerri.”

You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

[Chapter Ⅴ] Being close to solo and unmodified is the normal state of life. With a strong heart, walking alone is like a crowd. No matter where you go, I hope you are happy.

I wonder what the kids and teachers in luz's school think of her now. Shes stopped "terrorizing" other kids, mainly because she seems to have stopped engaging with most of her classmates period. She no longer brings live animals or taxidermy to school. She even participates in english class occasionally, even if she doesnt "get" the point of the book. Her rants only clock as suicidal if you know about her time in the boiling isles which the people at her school do not.

I wonder if luz's teachers and schoolmates think that luz mellowed out over the summer. If the principal/counselor that suggested she go to the camp patted himself on the back because shes "improved."

I’ve finally realized my problem.

I am lonely.

It’s a simple as that. I’m just very very lonely.

What has been encouraging for you this week? What has made you feel brave? How have you seen God's hand at work in your life?

Just saw a "buy tumblr crabs day" post and like . I thought we agreed to stop buying stuff as part of the replacement for the blackout . Yk maybe staff is making shit updates cause we complain about it in posts which they arent very likely to see instead of like actually doing shit [like anything at ALL] about it like using the support box to tell staff that they need to start thinking [https://www.tumblr.com/tf2heritageposts/722663168237764608/alright-they-are-not-going-to-do-an-algorithm <- this explains how to] . Like we need to start doing things maybe

I had a dream that I was going on a ball and Solas was there, I tried to ignore him in like a shy or flirty way? And then that delicate, intimate touch when I was walking right past him … I’m never gonna forget that dream, I had to sketch it 😭

Pls ignore that Solas' scar is mirrored, I'm an idiot

okay no see the thing that made me really, really sad about hinata and the thing that made me really, really root for him and love him and want to see him win it all was how, like, people kept DENYING him. and i'm not talking about spectators in the stands going "omg he's so short haha, can he really do anything?" i'm talking about how his own team and how everyone who knew them in some way - as much as i love them - could never really separate him from kageyama. they were the freak quick duo, karasuno's number nine and number ten. they were amazing! so brilliant, the two of them. and hinata thought it was a way out, at first. he thought it was a way over the summit. he thought it was the key to being someone better.

but a key goes both ways, you know. it can lock you up just as much as it can set you free.

and hinata had to be so, so frustrated. everyone was finding ways to move forward except him. everyone expected him to stay stuck. and you could argue that that's not entirely true, sure, that he was always training, always trying to catch up, and they encouraged that. but nobody ever expected him to be more. nobody ever expected him to go beyond what he had with kageyama - they all thought that was enough for hinata. they thought he was fine like that because it worked for the rest of them. they underestimated how much he wanted to be capable. they didn't get how much he wanted to stand on his own two feet.

and that wasn't fair to hinata! it wasn't fair that hinata, who loved to play and loved the game and loved volleyball so so much, was the only one being left behind! he wanted to change that but nobody was trying with him!!! so of course he got impatient!! of course he was reckless!!! of course he was carving his own opportunities!!! there was no way forward otherwise!!! because if we take a minute to think about how training would have gone while kageyama was at tokyo, let's be honest — it probably wouldn't have gone well. nobody else can do with hinata what kageyama could do with him. hinata would have been held back. he would have felt useless. practicing serves and receives was stuff he was already doing constantly before that, and it wasn't teaching him anything. yeah hinata was a little bit selfish and a little bit shameless but being so finally got him somewhere!!

all hinata ever wanted to do was fly, even if it meant straying from the flock to do so
