i can’t believe july is almost over. i’m not ready

levels of regis glasses headcanons

regis doesn’t wear glasses 🤨

regis wears glasses but just to look more human, like he had that walking stick he didn’t end up using 🤔

regis wore glasses to look more human, but then it turned out he actually does need glasses because he is extremely nearsighted and also maybe this is why he crashed into that well too 🤔🤔🤔

regis actually wears tinted glasses because his eyes are sensitive to the sensory hell that daylight can be 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

i long for late summer rain and how everything has a tangy acidic smell to it and it's still warm but there's a slight chill so you get excited over getting to wear a jacket after 3 months of tshirts. and then you go to the beach when the storm is over and it's just a small drizzle in the wind and the now calm sea has become one with the grey-blue sky. and the islands in the background are almost invisible but in the late afternoon you can see lights faintly blinking behind the lowered clouds. sigh

"So you got no idea who took my stuff?"

38° c in the garden at 10am, in the shadow of my hazelnut trees... This is going to be a long day. @.@

obviously I am happy with whatever we can get but if taylor starts the tour in march 2023 and doesn't come to the uk/europe until spring/summer 2024 then the wait might actually kill me

Got heirloom tomatoes and eggplant (and shallots and peppers and garlic...) at the farmer’s market today, and I have goat cheese and mozzarella in the fridge as well as dried pasta in the pantry...

I am going to feast tonight.

I’ve…basically got college admissions all squared away and got in touch with the disability office (very early but well. with anxiety and adhd and chronic health at play kinda have to for my own sanity and keeping on-track) and…this will actually prolly be possible this time??

…also not sure what I’m gonna do with myself. Y’know when a lifted stressor can leave ya feeling a bit…unmoored? Mm. That.

thinkin about how max and billy mightve felt/acted around the 1984 summer olympics hosted in LA

bestie I promise your mental health will get a lot better once you move out. it seems like a lot of your shit may be made worse by them.

yeah i literally cant wait til i can finally move out:( thing is they made it like. literally impossible for me to be independent from them especially my dad but yk :v: ion like talking about my family shit online or in general tbh but point is yeah i know you're right and I'll probably be moving out in either a few months or like a year at most but until then. guhhhh

After several months of being colleagues, hanging out outside of work with other colleagues, waiting for eachother to walk home while smoking after work, having him come at my birthday, my partner's, a small gathering at my apartment, having my cat smell his feet, I came to the conclusion that I have made a friend that actually appreciates me and wants to hang out???

I'm extremely terrible at understanding that people perceive me and usually assume I'm on a acquaintance but today I was like omg I'm my friend's FRIEND?????

Do you ever stop and think about how August really is that bitch?

Like "so much for summer love and saying 'us' cause you weren't mine to lose"?????? Say less. Legit say less. I would literally get an "August slipped away like a bottle of wine" tattoo.

AUGUST SUPREMACY!!!!!

but literally receiving this ask was so scary lmao i had an entire crisis this afternoon when i listened to it again just because of the "cause you were never mine"/"cause you weren't mine to lose" lines like how did you KNOW, anon? hahahaha

the specfic type of heartbreak captured in those lines makes my chest ACHE like how something was that major and that special to you just to realise you were a side character in their side of the story :((( and how you not only have to say goodbye to them but also the wishes you had for the two of you and how foolish you feel because they didnt have the same wishes :(( i think that is what the song captures so beautifully for me, that awful feeling of feeling like the fool for caring about someone

but yes, we can get matching august tattoos bc my every waking moment is spent thinking about putting "to live for the hope of it all" on my body permanently 😌

Knowing you're not enough and that nothing you can do will be enough is an unbearable weight to carry
