My boyfriend has to go to the ren fair for work but i can come and he wanted to do a matching costume. He was like “I want to be Frodo” and I was like “oh cool I can be Shelob” which was, apparently, not the couples costume he was thinking of

favourite thing about overwatch is still how hanzo killed genji and regretted it like immediately and just single-handedly dismantled the whole organisation that made him kill genji in the first place and completely upended his whole life in this big quest for redemption and forgiveness and he goes to genji's grave every year on the anniversary of his death to pay respects and it's like we get it you super regret killing genji and then he goes back to genji's shrine to cry or whatever and then genji shows up and reveals he's still alive and hanzo tries to kill him again

I never really posted or talked about my weight loss on any social media platform, but I felt like I wanted to because I’m just really damn proud of myself, so here it goes. And at least tumblr offers up a bit more anonymity because I really just don’t want to deal with people I know in real life feeling the need to comment!
So here’s my before and after, 1 year later and 100+ lbs lighter. I’ve still got some work to do, but I’m a million times happier and healthier. Like it’s crazy how different just living my life everyday feels, physically.
