Spokane Chronicle, Washington, October 31, 1918

you’re working in a field you genuinely enjoy. you have supportive, loving friends. you follow your passions, you’re fluent in your target languages. the 12 new books you ordered will arrive soon. your flat is cozy, decorated with plants and fairy lights. you’re happy. this might seem like some fantasty, but i know this will happen. i believe in you, and you should as well.

let’s be ugly as a community

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

Other

tag yourself ; gothic literature edition

Frankenstein: The great outdoors, half-read books, unorthodox ideas, pencil sketches, easily frightened, contemplates existence a lot, dislikes winter

The Picture of Dorian Gray: Old bookshelves, bold fashion choice, loud laughs, philosophical conversations, kisses on the hand, can be a dick sometimes, loves new languages but never commits

Dracula: Red lipstick stains, white billowy dresses, always cold to the touch, flickering candles, has eye circles, wants to believe in ghosts, only likes religion for the aesthetic

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde: Filled notebooks, foggy evenings, afraid of failure, oversized clothing, secretive whispers, stays up too late, bottles up emotions

The Phantom of the Opera: Rose petals, old perfume, being an overdramatic bitch, sings to self, handwritten letters, snowy nights, secret spaces

I don’t know if anyone needs to hear this but “we all respond to trauma in different ways, not just pretty palatable ways” and “we are accountable for our own actions, even actions born from trauma” are not contradictory statements

This song is very catchy but you know what's catchier...

help me

I realized that anyone who’s never actually seen Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright aka one of the best films in cinematic history has probably only ever seen this scene in gif form and that just doesn’t do it justice please watch this and then watch the entire film

every 1d song: [absolute british gibberish] oh yeah girl you’re really hot [something vaguely lesbian in nature] [zayn vocalizing] 🗣babyy

gays:

i want…more fat girls in media

and no this does not mean that i want fat characters who have jokes made about their fat. i want fat girls who are seen as beautiful and not a single comment about their weight is ever made.

I hate when people ask me why I drink so much water like damn bitch I’m tryin to drown myself what u think leave me alone

wmtcalmgitcdengchmbdichth -> When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold, dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her.
