you do kind of have to actively shape how you feel a little bit. you can't just like, passively wait for the world to impress and inspire you. you have to choose to look for it & you have to choose to find it.

every time two male characters that the fandom ships don’t get together people say “we thought we were, for once, getting good rep” and every time I’m like. It is 2025. There are gay people on tv. Why are you going “for once.” “For once” watch Queer As Folk or Torchwood or Schitt’s Creek or Our Flag Means Death or Black Sails or, notably on tumblr these days, Heated Rivalry, and maybe you’ll calm down. Not even naming the canon gay characters people consider bad rep like Glee. If you were willing to care about women or experience non-TV media there are some more even!

And I’m not saying not to criticize the writing choices, if the gay characters are treated narratively different from their straight peers or not given the same weight or story focus or The Gay One is the only one to not find their True Love in high school and is the only one whose arc is about learning that it’s okay to not have your feelings reciprocated etc., then absolutely criticize those writing choices. If you’re sick of seeing the “gay high schooler has unrequited crush on straight best friend” plot then that’s fine and I get that. My point is just, every time I see this, people act like this was their one and only chance to finally see a gay person on TV. And every time I’m like buddy, this isn’t even your only chance to see a gay person on Stranger Things.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but now is THE time to incorporate walking back into your routine. I know it’s like trendy to do hot girl walks, but during this time of year it’s one of the easiest ways to reset your mood or breathe through your anxiety or just take a moment to exist. I’m all for walking with a playlist on, but walking in silence and just appreciating the fall breeze and the mellow sun and everything about fall will absolutely help you feel a little better and costs $0. And we are at record temperatures right now so we truly need to appreciate all the time we get with cool beautiful weather. Take a walk!!!! It will help u I promise

It's kind of astonishing to me that some people think dear john is tame or "just a sad breakup song" and needed would've could've should've to fully understand just how effected taylor was by that situation. like i was fully grasping the gravity of the situation at 11 years old listening to my speak now on my cd player

hey bestie i think ur post might be charmed 'cause you aren't gonna fuckin believe what happened today

just watched the new dan and phil video and my takeaway impression is mainly that they are so, so generous and forgiving towards their fans. they would be completely justified in clamming up and never saying jack shit to anyone and i think the thoughtfulness and kindness in saying “we know that even for many of the people who were shipping us more aggressively and violating our privacy were just very excited young people who didn’t know the impact they were having on us, and we don’t want anyone to feel bad, so take this as a clean slate” is utterly remarkable

also, the way dan talks about how phil lit up his life about halfway through is one of the most loving things i’ve ever seen. truly. i am so happy for the two of them—that they found each other in the first place, and that they now are at a point where they feel comfortable sharing this

the fate of ophelia or cruel summer? eldest daughter or thr archer? wi$hli$t or cornelia street? opalite or afterglow? father figure or the man? wood or i think he knows? actualy romantic or you need to calm down? honey or lover?
