i’m doing good, i’m on some new shit.

i thought I saw you at the bus stop

the greatest films of all time were never made

if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed

we were something, don’t you think so?

if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you

in my defense, i have none for never leaving well enough alone

it would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one

you know the greatest loves of all time are over now 

if one thing had been different would everything be different today? 

when you are young, they assume you know nothing 

i felt like I was an old cardigan 

a friend to all is a friend to none 

to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed 

you drew stars around my scars but now I’m bleedin' 

i knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs 

cause i knew everything when I was young

i knew i’d curse you for the longest time 

i knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired and you’d be standin’ in my front porch light 

i knew you’d come back to me 

the wedding was charming, if a little gauche

there goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen 

who knows, if she never showed up, what could’ve been 

she had a marvelous time ruining everything 

there goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen 

i had a marvelous time ruining everything 

i can see you standing, honey, with his arms around your body 

it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it

you were my town, now I’m in exile 

i can see you starin’, honey, like he’s just your understudy 

I’m not your problem anymore, so who am i offending now? 

there is no amount of crying i can do for you 

you didn’t even hear me out

you didn’t even see the signs 

cause you never gave a warning sign 

i gave so many signs

if I’m on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too 

even on my worst day, did i deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me? 

cause i loved you, i swear i loved you til my dying day 

i didn’t have it in myself to go with grace 

if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake? 

you wear the same jewels that i gave you as you bury me 

you know i didn’t want to have to haunt you 

when i’d fight, you used to tell me i was brave 

and i can go anywhere i want just not home 

you can aim for my heart, go for blood but you would still miss me in your bones 

you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same 

i’ll show you every version of yourself tonight 

i want you to know i’m a mirrorball, i can change everything about me to fit in 

i’m still a believer, but i don’t know why 

are there still beautiful things? 

and though i can’t recall your face i still got love for you 

love you to the moon and to saturn 

i think your house is haunted. your dad is always mad and that must be why 

i think you should come live with me 

never have i ever before

will you call when you’re back at school?

i remember thinkin’ i had you 

for me, it was enough to live for the hope of it all 

so much for summer love

you weren’t mine to lose

i can see us twisted in bed sheets 

i’ve been having a hard time adjusting 

i didn't know if you’d care if i came back 

i just wanted you to know that this is me trying 

pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could’ve followed my fears all the way down 

they told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potential 

my words shoot to kill when i’m mad, i have a lot of regrets about that 

it’s hard to be at a party when i feel like an open wound 

that’s the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings and longing stares, it’s born from just one single glance but it dies a million little times

you showed me colors you know i can’t see with anyone else 

don’t call me “kid,”

don’t call me “baby”

you taught me a secret language i can’t speak with anyone else 

you know damn well, for you, i would ruin myself a million little times 

were there clues i didn’t see? 

isn’t it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string, tying you to me?

time cutting me open, then healing me fine 

what did you think i’d say to that? 

fuck you forever

every time you call me crazy, i get more crazy 

when you say i seem angry, i get more angry 

it’s obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together 

i’m taking my time cause you took everything from me 

sir, i think he’s bleeding out

you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you’ve seen 

doc, i think she’s crashing out

some things you just can’t speak about 

i won’t make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom but i think it’s ‘cause of me 

the worst thing that i ever did was what i did to you 

would you trust me if i told you it was just a summer thing? 

i don’t know anything but i know i miss you 

if i just showed up at your party, would you have me? 

our coming-of-age has come and gone 

i never had the courage of my convictions 

i could never give you peace 

i’m a fire and i'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade, ocean wave blues come 

all these people think love’s for show but i would die for you in secret 

would it be enough if i could never give you peace? 

your integrity makes me seem small 

i’d give you my sunshine, give you my best but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standin’ with me 

you know i left a part of me back in new york 

you knew the hero died so what’s the movie for? 

darling, this was just as hard as when they pulled me apart 

headcanons - fuyumi todoroki

the uncertainty of i love you.

❝     OUT  OF  MY  WAY ,   EXTRAS !     ❞

as if the fandom needed another bakugou,  here i am,  making my debut !

if you are keen to interact with a teen whose quirk is just as explosive as his personality,  then you’ve come to the right place !    and while i’m dealing with university for a good chunk of this year,  bakugou is one of my emotional support bastards,  and i’m going to enjoy writing him on the chances that i can.

tumblr is apparently rolling out a beta for a new post editor that essentially makes it so there are no longer post “types” (text post, audio post, photo post, etc.), and instead all types of content are better integrated into a single post. pretty neat, right?

…until you read the fine print.

The maximum number of total content blocks allowed in a single post is 250.

i emailed support and asked whether each paragraph counts as a content block. i received this reply:

SO. each paragraph counts as a content block, and i’m only allowed 250 content blocks in one post. the solution provided was to reformat my fics by using shift+enter after every paragraph instead of simply enter. which is already unnecessarily annoying in of itself, but then you come to the second hurdle: 

The maximum character length of a single text block is 4096 characters.

so–what?? besides spending my time writing thousands upon thousands of words, i’m expected to copy-paste it and then reformat everything, counting every single one of those words to make sure they fit within the restrictions? or i’m supposed to chop my fics up into multiple parts, even when i don’t want to? how exactly are writers supposed to write on this platform?? as you all know, my style tends to run pretty dialogue-heavy, so i start new paragraphs (and, thus, content blocks!!!) pretty damn often. i did a quick check, and let it snow, at almost 19k, is 550 paragraphs. with this new system, i would be forced to upload it in three (3!!!!!) posts! even my shortest chapter of ego, at 8.8k, is 350 paragraphs, and i’d have to split it in two.

this is honestly a formatting nightmare as a writer, and this is a decision that is liable to drive content creators away from the site and change fandom culture as a whole.

OUR LAWYER MADE US CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS SONG SO WE WOULDN’T GET SUED

‘ take my advice: i am bad news. ’ ‘ i will leave you high and dry. ’ ‘ it’s not worth the hearing you’ll lose. ’ ‘ it’s just past 8 and i’m feeling young and reckless. ’ ‘ we’re only liars, but we’re the best. ’ ‘ we’re only good for the latest trends. ’ ‘ i’m only good cause you can have an almost-famous friend. ’ ‘ i’ve got such good fashion sense. ’ ‘ put these words down into your notebook. ’ ‘ we’re friends when you’re on your knees. ’

OF ALL THE GIN JOINTS IN ALL THE WORLD

‘ you only hold me up like this cause you don’t know who i really am.’ ‘ sometimes i just want to know what it’s like to be you. ’ ‘ i used to waste my time dreaming of being alive. ’ ‘ i used to waste my time dreaming of being alive. now i only waste it dreaming of you. ’ ‘ turn off the lights and turn off the shyness, cause all of our moves make up for the silence. ’ ‘ and oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase… it’s like i’ll never be the same. ’ ‘ i’ve got headaches and bad luck. ’ ‘ i’ve got headaches and bad luck, but they couldn’t touch you. ’

DANCE, DANCE

‘ you say you’re no good with words, but i’m worse. ’ ‘ it can’t get much worse. ’ ‘ i’m two quarters and a heart down, and i don’t want to forget how your voice sounds. ’ ‘ dance. ’ ‘ these are the lives you love to lead. ’ ‘ you always fold just before you’re found up. ’ ‘ drink up, it’s last call. ’ ‘ why don’t you show me the little bit of spine you’ve been saving for his mattress, love? ’ ‘ i only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me. ’

NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER

‘ drink down that gin and kerosene, and come spit on bridges with me just to keep us warm. ’ ‘ leave me be. ’ ‘ i keep my jealousy close cause it’s all mine. ’ ‘  if you say this makes you happy then i’m not the only one lying. ’ ‘ keep quiet. ’ ‘ nothing comes as easy as you. ’ ‘ can i lay in your bed all day? ’ ‘ i’ll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake. ’ ‘ so wear me like a locket around your throat; i’ll weigh you down, i’ll watch you choke. you look so good in blue. ’ ‘ you look so good in blue. ’

I’VE GOT A DARK ALLEY AND A BAD IDEA THAT SAYS YOU SHOULD SHUT YOUR MOUTH (SUMMER SONG)

‘ joke me something awful, just like kisses on the necks of “best friends.” ‘ ‘ we’re the kids who feel like dead ends. ’ ‘ i want to be known for my hits, not just my misses. ’ ‘ i took a shot, and didn’t even come close at trust, and love, and hope. ’ ‘ the poets are just the kids who didn’t make it. ’ ‘ the lies just won’t stop slipping. ’ ‘ my reputation’s on the line. ’ ‘ we can fake it for the airwaves. ’ ‘ i’m not making any sense. ’ ‘ my back has been breaking from this heavy heart. ’ ‘ i’m hopelessly hopeful, you’re just hopeless enough. ’ ‘ we never had it at all. ’
