PALSRPH MUSE THEME #1 | preview / download 

this is my first theme that i have actually published. i made this for me and my friends to use on our blogs & indies, but i decided i was going to share it with all of you !! 

- please don’t repost!! this includes even editing it slightly and reposting it.

- please keep the credit in place.

- please like/reblog if you use this! 

i finally hit 200 followers the other day so i decided it was only necessary to actually do something helpful for the rpc. under the cut are sixty eight portuguese female names along with their definitions/significance. feel free to like or reblog if you found this useful ! have a great day !

Under the cut you’ll find roughly 37 gifs of Sarah Hyland in Modern Family s07e19 as requested by @jackiegrps. Hyland is known for her role as Haley Dunphy in Modern Family and other movies like Vampire Academy. These gifs are all small/medium, textless, and mostly hq. Any repeats were completely unintentional. All these gifs were created by me so please credit me if they’re used. Please like or reblog if you plan on using. Thank you! 1/?
