*looks into the camera like i’m i the office* wait what?!!? a movie? i don’t know how to feel about the prospect of witnessing theo’s story on a big screen. i am not convinced this story translates well into visual media, but i am ready to change my mind if the movie adaption does the book justice. it’s just that there is not that much plot as there is in many hollywood movies? i mean, the goldfinch is literary fiction – a genre mainly defined by character-driven storytelling with a lot of inner monologue and contemplation – and stories like this adapt poorly to movie standards in most cases... the screenplay as well as the cinematography and acting have to be phenomenally intricate to fully convey & capture the book's essence! it’s quite a challenge for everyone working on this movie.

“Stay hungry, stay young, stay foolish, stay curious, and above all stay humble.” -Tom Hiddleston

“There is no ideal world for you to wait around for. The world is always just what it is now, and it’s up to you how you respond to it.” -Isaac Marion (in the book Warm Bodies)

“When I die I’ll go to Heaven, ‘cause I’ve done my time in Hell.” -Nikki Sixx (unused Motley Crue lyric / in the book The Heroin Diaries)

Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu, a Sanskrit mantra that means, “May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.”

“You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward.” -Sylvester Stallone (in the movie Rocky Balboa)

Hi anon! OMG? Why are you anonnnnnn come say hi please. Let’s be friends?

You are precious and also deserve good things in life, whomever you are. Thank you for this nice message. :) The video was not done with the direct intention of ~wooing~ (LMAO, omg) though I am nonetheless very much grateful to Tom that he took the time and that it’s something that put a smile on Gansey’s face.

Anyhow, yes, Gansey is my heart, we are a thing, and it sucks that we live far apart (at least we’re in the same country) but we’re making it work as best as we can, and hopefully if all goes to plan, we’ll be seeing one another sooner rather than later.
