this boy i knew in high school had a black and white blog that was rather sad and when he met his girlfriend he started posting in color and I think that’s what love is

He could be bffs with my Gill, who’s also into bad things but thinks a lot and he writes deep things and yeah they’d get along. I’d ship him with my bbg Raphaela because she’s naive and curious and I think she’d pair well with a bad boy because her adoptive guardian (she’s also an orphan) would h a t e it. Yeah that would be cool.

Is anyone ever the same after Ella? Of course, he would’ve been a bitter, self-absorbed drunk with an eye for black leather. He’d have spent his days skipping all his classes except Music and English and his nights “dancing” with girls at Pleasure Island or playing a heart-breaking acoustic set at The Teacup. Mostly, if Gill and Ella never met, Gill would never understand hope. Maybe he’d eventually meet Evie, but Ella was his first love. Without her, he wouldn’t have the chance of one day being a better person. He’d miss the opportunity to have her influence of hope, her example of how someone once so broken could ever be as happy as she was, and that’d be his downfall.
