For every super power in existence there is someone who is immune to it. You are immune to ‘Time Stopping’, allowing you to move around in the time frozen world like the user does. However you have no idea who they are or when they will stop or restart time.

Love, by the old philosophical definition, is willing someone’s good. It’s not essentially a feeling. Which is kind of comforting to think when you don’t feel like you like yourself at all, but you’re still trying in some kind of way to do good things for yourself.

the thing about cracking open a long-established popular ship tag on ao3 is that it allows you to be extraordinarily picky, and i think it must be the closest thing i will ever experience to being filthy rich. i scroll along at super speed like no today i am only interested in fics with this precise range of words and one of these three tags. only authors i’ve heard of, please. hmm, i suppose i could consider an unknown quantity given its apparent popularity with the people, but… no, no, this summary doesn’t do it for me. no particular reason, it’s just… eh, i don’t need to explain myself. bring me 50 more like this for me to choose from and we’ll see.

Jane Austen really said 'I respect the "I can fix him" movement but that's just not me. He'll fix himself if knows what's good for him' and that's why her works are still calling the shots today.

i love characters who are like oysters emotionally
