[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over

there is the line between bisexual and aroace and i am using it as a jump rope

the realization that the unhealthy trait you’ve given your favorite oc for funsies is actually something you unintentionally do is like watching a five year old innocently and perfectly mimic your bad habits

ghostkicks is all about making small compromises to your morals because you trust completely in your friend until it goes too far and shatters your relationship with each other and it’s all about thinking your friend is the moral compass and the heart of the group but pushing him to loosen up on those morals anyway because everyone always told you you’re smart and you think you know what’s right and it’s all about the inherent guilt that comes with that on both ends. btw. if you even care

theres just something about how the adults are so willing to turn a blind eye to what happens in the Brooks household. it's...very real. its like. it's easier to pretend nothing is wrong because then you don't have to admit that these things have been going on for who-knows-how-long and you haven't done anything to stop it. it's obvious. isaac is terrified of his father. his reaction when mrs. wisp goes to call his parents is the most viscerally fearful he'd ever sounded up to that point. and it's like. IT'S NOT THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG. she's so obviously just coming up with all these flimsy excuses.................and more than that it's the fear of. upturning all these preconceived notions you had about the people around you. your neighbors. it's a small religious town unadapted to change. the brooks are a lovely family with a delinquent son. how'd he turn out that way, his mother is such a lovely woman. his father is who you look to when you want to describe a good man (and i mean that with a heavy emphasis on the "man" part, that he's what a man should be, not that that's super relevant to my point here). acknowledging that there might be a reason, a real reason, isaac is so terrified of his father, that it's weird those two went for a drive at three in the morning and no-one knows where they are- that's a loose thread that unravels into a whole host of things you didn't want to believe, shame you don't want to keep, guilt you don't want to uncover.
