cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

"Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." - Brennan Lee Mulligan

"How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints." --C.S. Lewis

full transparency here i daydream about meeting my online friends so often. in these scenarios, i tackle hug them in the airport and don't let go for several seconds. theyre not the height i thought they would be and it both delights and terrifies me. we make fun of each others' outfits. i bounce on my toes the entire way to the rental car, aglow with excitement, the happiest and most animated i've been in years. and for a short, gilded moment in time, everything is alright

in my fantasies, expressing my love for others is as simple and easy as breathing

hey this post got a lot of notes really fast is everyone okay

“not unkindly” has to be one of the ultimate adverbs ever. Implies so much

get in loser we’re gonna try again despite it all

i bet the pain will end if i arrange a perfect enough sentence about it

does anyone know if we have transmasc and transfem love and friendship today

We do. And tomorrow and the next day and every day forever and ever and ever too. :)

a long time ago i was struggling with being transmasc because i felt like i was betraying womanhood somehow. then one of my best friends came out as a trans woman and i realised "ah... there will always be so many beautiful women in the world, so it's okay that i'm not one of them". what i'm trying to say is you need to love each other or there's no point to any of this

in a reversal of this. when i came out as transfem i was almost dissapointed because i spent so long trying to be a truly good man. i was raised with a lot of shitty guys so i tried to be the most pro-feminist comfortable dude i could be for the women around me. when my egg cracked, i almost felt this feeling of "shit, are the only men who think like this secretly women inside?" and it feels nice to see that proven so utterly and completely wrong by the trans men i know in my life. i love seeing people take on the masculinity i hated and do amazing shit with it, god bless trans dudes

idk if it's just me but i'm glad that the majority of people outside of here believe tumblr is a dead site because like i've been here for 13 years and like this is my house??? i don't need thousands upon thousands of people flocking here it'd be like inviting chimps to a house party total fucking carnage

"people keep saying this house is haunted but ive been here for 200 years and havent seen a ghost!"

that is the most black cat looking black cat i've seen in my life, good for them.

As an adult I think me and all my friends should all have matching schedules and work like 20 hours a week and also everyone lives within 15 minutes of each other why is that so much to ask
