As a girl in the country, she always turned her collar up

*puts my leg on the counter *

So this is my new pose I guess

US Marine Corps selfies…

With your arms around me, yeah

If I was blind I know that I could see, oh now

All I can say is

Keep those loving arms around me

~ Otis Redding

Men’s forearms, particularly THIS man’s forearms, are my kink. Especially when they’re displayed in a well-tailored suit. Sweet mercy.

When you're chilling in the tiki bar and the idiots you're gonna send to the moon gives the nightmare-cautionary-children's-tale a nuke.

theodore sturgeon letter haunting me.

domesticity with nanami is him leaving you a kiss on your forehead before he leaves for work; you’re still asleep, and he has to be in the office bright and early. it’s you packing him lunch with notes written on heart-shaped sticky notes, telling him to have a good day! i love you! it’s the way he says your name after a long day at the office, on an exhale, and it would be almost like a sigh if he didn’t sound so relieved when he says it, like just the sight of you, just the sound of your name, shoots life right back into his system. it’s him having you pick out his tie for work, and he’s fully capable of tying it himself, but even when you struggle to do so, having to get on your tiptoes to even reach, he loves how his tie looks (crooked, loosely knotted) when it’s you doing it for him. it’s you reading the books he hasn’t had the time to get to, and it’s him listening intently as you summarize everything that happens in it. it’s your name with a heart next to it in his contacts; no one else has something so special and unprofessional saved in his phone contacts. it’s buying stuff from ikea and sitting pretty while he rolls up his sleeves and starts assembling it for you. it’s comfort and security in knowing that you can love someone so much to be satisfied with a simple life.

She likes how she looks in her denim
