my hobbies? Uhhhhh symbolism mostly. metaphors and implications and the like.

“I do not write every day, I read every day, think every day, work in the garden every day, and recognize in nature the same slow complicity. The same inevitability. The moment will arrive, always it does, it can be predicted but it cannot be demanded. I do not think of this as inspiration. I think of it as readiness.”

— Jeanette Winterson, from Art Objects (1995)

My favourite part of the Heartstopper promo pics is that everyone else’s are looking couple-y and romantic and then there’s Isaac in a bookshop looking like he’s reached the gates of Heaven

"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody

it’s a raven cycle summer, i say as i lay rotting under a tree in the scorching heat with a coca cola bottle

oh to experience that 'blue and her boys were all in love with one another' shit irl

Fuck enemies to lovers nothing will ever give me the inexplicable feelings and vibes as a group of friends who are completely different from each other and have tons of problems but still stick together trough it all because they just love each other so much that they became a family. Found family trope has my whole heart srsly

i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing

Trying to live my Sufjan Stevens summer

There was one of those hyperspecific polls that had an option like “your grandfather told you war stories that he never told anyone else” and now I feel like I have to tell the story about how a spider saved my grandpa’s life in WWII and how my family doesn’t kill spiders because we owe our existence to that One Single Spider

Like emily henry once said “I fucking love writing about love. I love taking my cynical little brain and forcing it to acknowledge one of the greatest, most mysterious, most miraculous experiences you can have as a human being. I love art that requires vulnerability and getting over your own shame, that peels away all the protective layers we pile on ourselves to seem cool, aloof, respectable, smart, worthy to the world around us. I love making books that engage with the terrifying and often humiliating act of hoping! Thank you to the romance writers who've been doing this way longer than I have and the readers who have been brave enough to like what they like in a world that tries to denigrate it, and lastly, fuck the misogyny that belittles stories about women's pleasure and joy”.

"But I don't want small talk. Text me, and without saying hello, tell me why you got so angry at your sister this morning. Tell me why you have a scar shaped like Europe on the left side of your neck. Send me paragraphs about the time you spent at your grandmother's house that one summer. Call me when I'm half asleep and tell me why you believe in God. Tell me about the first time you saw your dad cry. Go on for hours about things that may not seem important because I promise that I'll be hanging on to every word you say. Tell me everything. I don't want someone who just talks about the weather."

dante read heartstopper and convinced ari to read it because he loved it so much and when ari did he ended up liking it even more than dante does. they stayed up until 1 am to watch the show and ari cried when nick was having his gay crisis and when he came out to his mom

"Sad, sad ,sad" Ari said.

"Sad, sad, sad" Dante said.

"Sad, sad ,sad" I said.

When they say they love you but Ari got hit by a car so Dante didn’t

third base is you telling them about your obsession with escapism

Love came in a bottle with a twist-off cap.
