don't start with me baby

thinking about how the concept of percy jackson and the olympians was like initially created out of a bedtime story & so much of this is tailored to “well i just like it” even the fact that percy is a child of POSEIDON simply because it’s… cooler rather than making him a son of zeus which would be, you know, expected……..feeling very tender…..this is the missing ingredient in the rest of every other book he’s ever written i truly believe

is there anything more magical than a father building a world through bedtime stories to reach his child with learning disabilities that has been abandoned by the institutional school system and succeeding not only in reaching his own child but in pulling in millions of other children from all around the world. i literally am emotional….the only way i could possibly put this emotion into words is saying: that is truly the best kind of art

sometimes a clown is in your house. sometimes not. depends.

Depends if I’m home

one day you will wake up refreshed, drink coffee and be able to read a book the same way you did when you were little. you will have a cat who curls up to sleep on your lap or a playful dog who is happy to see you. you will be the kindest you can be, listening to stories, and checking up on people often. you will make pancakes in the morning and decorate your abode with plants, your old paintings and cozy cushions. you will fill photo albums with blurry photos of your new friends and road trips and summery evenings. you will visit your favorite bakery and library often, and keep in touch with people you love. things won’t be perfect, but you’ll be at peace with yourself and you will be in love with life again. 

i think the best thing about gen z is their dedication to self care and by this i mean when john mulaney performed at a college and he took a sip of water the crowd would start applauding and someone yelled at him “hydrate before you die-drate” therefor confusing an already confused man even more

i can have a little unrealistic romantic fantasy. as a treat
