there’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. this is not true. we can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities. in fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself. the version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.

Something I do really love about The Tumblr Experience™️ is that you get everything. The whole blog, in order, not by popularity or (usually) tailored to fit an audience.
I followed this person for one thing, but this is a really gorgeous picture of a bird. A gifset of a movie I never would have seen. A poem about brothers or frogs or ribbon or love.
It's odd but it's meditative, almost. I think it's part of why mutuals, especially ones we don't really talk to, are such a specific phenomenon. I've never spoken to you, you stopped talking about the thing I followed you for forever ago, I don't even remember what it was, but I like seeing you there, still reblogging gifsets of 1990s cult classics and parasocially blogging about Bob Dylan.
i love you ciabatta i love you brioche i love you focaccia i love you challah i love you sourdough i love you rye i love you multigrain i love you bagel i love you pita i love you pretzel bun i love you baguette i love you english muffin i love you naan
BUFFY SUMMERS IN BECOMING PART I
Lilo and Stitch (2002) dir. Chris Sanders, Dean DeBlois
Sometimes i think about jonsa and how from their very first scene together on screen, they both showcased this desperate and practically visceral need to keep each other safe from harm. And it could be jon going into fits of rage at the mere mention of sansa's name, or sansa losing her mind in front of their bannermen at the thought of jon leaving winterfell, or jon killing his queen to save sansa, or sansa going back to the one place she swore she would never set foot in again with the whole northern army at her back to keep jon from being executed, but it's raw and brutal and intense in a way very few relationships in got are, including the familial bonds within the stark house. So no, no one will never convince me that it wasn't done on purpose. However you wish to interpret jonsa, they are one of the few true love stories of the show.
I recently started working in hospitality, and I’ll tell you guys right now, the trope of “there was only one bed” is not as rare as you’d think in real life. A few times a week, at least, I have guys come in who are working together on projects in town or passing through who have to literally book the last room I have available for the night and lo and behold — there is only one bed, and guess what, they give each other a side-eyed look and begrudgingly take it. So write it up, it happens all the time!!!
Never let your There Was Only One Bed dreams die. I was secretly in love with my best friend for over a year when she graduated and moved to Oklahoma (like 1000 miles away) for grad school. Between that travel restrictions, we were so scared we’d never see eachother again.
At the end of summer, when Covid numbers were at a lower point, I took the risk to visit her in her new apartment and I quickly realized that, unlike when I’d spent the night at her house before, the couch wasn’t made up like a bed. She explained that since her new couch was so fancy and pink, I couldn’t possibly sleep on it, and so I needed to sleep in the bed with her. You know, out of necessity. I woke up with her snuggled around me in the middle of the night.
We’re dating now, and I genuinely think I’m going to marry her. Just the other day, though, I mentioned that if she hadn’t been weird about her fancy couch, I probably never would have like confessed my feelings. AND THEN she stood up, took the cushions off the fancy couch, UNFOLDED IT INTO A HIDE-A-BED, and said “I KNOW.”
THIS GIRL. ORCHESTRATED. BED SCARCITY. JUST SO SHE COULD MAKE THE “ONLY ONE BED” EXCUSE. Y’all when I said I just about lost my goddamn mind, I just about lost my goddamn mind. I love this sneaky bitch so much and the moral of this story is BE THE ONE BED YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
Fanfic imitates life, and life imitates fanfic. It’s full circle really.
oh my god
there was only one bed
but it was STAGED
I love this so much

“orchestrated bed scarcity” is my new favorite phrase
the songs Beyoncé writes about that man are crazy it's like watching someone build the sistine chapel for a possum they found in a gas station parking lot
This info needs to be out there, it turned the tide against cryptocurrency in the public eye it might fit so too
just saw a post that said “whenever i need a laugh i remember if he hasn’t died, james potter would’ve been dudley’s uncle. picture james interacting with dudley. just do it, picture the scene.” and i NEED THIS MORE THAN I NEED AIR BC
he absolutely would bicker with him like a child
he would absolutely passive aggressively make fun of him
“dudley well done! you only ate half the pie instead of the whole thing”
hahahahah thats so true!!!! i think he would just wind the whole lot of them up to be honest! this really made me laugh so i wrote some things that james would definitely say when with the dursleys:
“only thirty six presents this year dudley? have you been made redundant or something then vernon?”
“no really we ought to call social services or something, lily. the kids clearly being hard done to. only thirty six presents??”
“aren’t you a bit old to be hanging around the park now, dudley? i mean, when i was your age I was- actually probably best not to go into too much detail.”
“what do you mean ‘dudley’s second bedroom’..? lily, is this a parenting must that we’ve missed?”
“i’m so sorry, harry. only one bedroom. we’re terrible parents.”
all the while harry is giggling and lily is pretending to be annoyed at james but can’t help the smile that creeps on her face.
Elizabeth Bennet: I went to Accomplished Woman Island and nobody there knew you. In fact it was uninhabited.
Darcy: Correction, you were there.
WOAH-TPs, pairings you never considered but now ship.
