im here to be gay and make memes, and im already g

wow okay i'm sorry that you find me so unsettling and hard to be around because i look almost exactly the same as i did before i died but something just isn't quite right and my personality isn't the same as i was in your (honestly pretty unfaithful and self centered!) memories of me and you're kind of starting to regret raising me from the dead. as if it's my fault 🙄

like aww did somebody think that everything would just go back to normal and nothing would change? is somebody upset that they have to make an effort to get to know me as i am and not as i was? well you know what they say, you can dig me up but you can't just bury me again if you don't like what you reanimated!

A really good tragedy is one in which it simultaneously seems like there are a million and one moments in which a single character could’ve made a different choice and everything could’ve ended up better, and like nothing could ever have averted this terrible end.

#uh huh uh huh uh huh#it really all comes down to characterization tbh#knowing the characters COULD have made a different choice#but also knowing those particular characters never WOULD have#it reminds me of that post about shakespearean tragedies#and how say if you put othello in hamlet’s plot#he’d kill claudius immediately#just like if hamlet was in othello’s shoes#he’d out think iago#but it’s because they are who they are (in part) that tragedy ensues (via @nancywheeeler)

lan wangji.............. is a cup

tonight i am thinking about wen "endured severe child abuse in order to ascend the ranks of the organization that killed his parents so he could avenge their deaths, but made sure to never forget the people who treated him well and made him believe in humans as a force for good" kexing falling in love with zhou "unexpectedly ended up in a position of power as a teenager and was manipulated into believing bloodshed could lead to peace and prosperity under the "right" political leadership before realizing that no leadership that murders the innocent could ever be the right political leadership and leaving to spend the rest of his life atoning for his sins" zishu and adopting zhang "unexpectedly lost everything as a teenager and was suddenly hit with the reality that politicians do not care about your wellbeing if you aren't 'useful,' even if they're your family" chengling. i am thinking about the three of them teaching each other that your past and your faults don't make you unlovable as long as you find whatever good you can give to the world and to your loved ones and aim to never stop giving it. i am thinking about them ringing in the new year together. i am shedding a little tear
