PAN’S LABYRINTH (2006) - dir. Guillermo del Toro
No you don't understand I need to see him crawling, covered in blood, horrifically injured, and traumatized
I love escapism, I love being away from the cruel world, so I find warmth in small things. Buying chamomile to fall asleep and smell a fragrant floral scent; going to bed with a soft toy, imagining that you are hugging someone; baking pancakes to feel cozy in your small room.
I want my everyday life to be filled with beauty.
I don't know who needs to hear this but your brain is lying to you and you don't need to wait until there's a round number on the clock to go the fuck to bed or start that project or eat a meal.
Get up and do it now.
“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.. and when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
there will be times when those bad nights creep back up on you, no matter how good you've been doing prior, and you can't stop the sad feelings.
that doesn't erase your progress. you're still doing good. it's just one bad night.
Reminder to be gentle with yourself today. You are living and loving the best you can in the position you're currently in. Rest when you need. Tuck yourself in at night. Keep doing what you can.
If you feel like you're losing time and not doing anything, take a look at how much you've been dealing with and survived. Are you still convinced of the same?

hi sorry i have a question. how do you become a person. how do you develop the will to be a person. i have sadly proven unkillable
you have to be sincere. you have to stop being sad that you haven't been killed and take up the burden of loving yourself and taking care of yourself. and when I say love yourself I mean pretend you are an angel sent down by God for the purpose of loving and healing one specific person, yourself. and when I say take care of yourself I mean pretend you are an alien zookeeper and your only job is to look after a single human being in the Earth enclosure, you. after a few years of practicing this, you will develop the ability to like yourself and enjoy your own company, and you'll know enough about yourself to take it from there. I'm ordering you to do this, whether you have the "will" to do it or not, out of pure self-interest, because five years from now it will have made you good company and I prefer the human world to be populated with good companions. little lanterns against the inhospitable night of the age of Iron.
"What do you do for a living?"
Oh I am a professional hopeless romantic and I read books and cry in my free time.
❝When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook–a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.❞
— Virginia Woolf, The Waves
Virginia Woolf, mid-twentieth century:
❝[L]et us take down one of those old notebooks which we have all, at one time or another, had a passion for beginning.
Most of the pages are blank, it is true; but at the beginning we shall find a certain number very beautifully covered with a strikingly legible hand-writing. Here we have written down the names of great writers in their order of merit; here we have copied out fine passages from the classics; here are lists of books to be read; and here, most interesting of all, lists of books that have actually been read, as the reader testifes with some youthful vanity by a dash of red ink.❞
— Virginia Woolf, "Hours in a Library". Granite and Rainbow: Essays by Virginia Woolf (New York: Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1958),p.25.
I’m never gonna get over Loki, the literal god of mischief, fixing his jacket and smoothing out his hair only to stumble over his words like an idiot when he needs to talk to a middle aged single dad who sells jet skis for a living
Mobius: talks to Loki about how he woos people with higher ranking than himself so he can later betray them
Also Mobius: gets wooed by Loki who later betrays him
The fact that Loki and Mobius clearly enjoy each other but also both have ulterior motives that we still don’t know the extent of is exactly what I like about the ship. It’s chaotic as hell. Even just looking at the show in general there’s really no reliable narrator. Everyone has their own agenda and we never really know who we’re supposed to trust. That’s what makes it so fun to me.
There is not a single heterosexual explanation for this
I mean come on kiss already
lokius as ship tropes or, i know we said "there's a fanfic writer loose in the marvel scriptwriters room" as a joke, but i don't think it's a joke anymore.
Loki, maybe: I don't want a throne, i just want to go home~
(Home as in Mobius.)
You know what's weird, i actually liked Loki's shoes at the end of the series (even though people are making fun of it), he isn't wearing typical modern clothes. If anything he's not even modern. He's not going to be sitting on a throne in Yggdrasil with nice fucking shoes. He's a Norse God, and well...the shoes fit his appearance. Looks kind of comfy while he stays there for however long. Lol.
Devotional Acts to Loki that I don’t see around much:
Wearing mismatched socks
Rearranging your altar (or room/space) sporadically
Taking note every time you see a pride flag— especially if you live in a more conservative area
Deleting photos of things you don’t need memories of
Learning how to hold a snake
Visiting a graveyard and remembering Hel
Taking note of wolf-like dogs you see
Giving attention to a horse
Drinking a cup of very hot tea
Taking (or making) a small dare or bet
Having a bonfire with friends
Attempting the Hot Chip challenge
Visiting a circus
Making gingerbread men— or just cookies in general
Making a dirty joke (although why stop at one? 👀)
Doing something fun for yourself, and only yourself
Eat breakfast for dinner or lunch for breakfast or— you get it
Playing pranks
Pinpointing when someone is lying and not allowing their words to affect you
Shadow Work Shadow Work Shadow Work Sh—
“Sif. Please, please. No more. Please, I beg you. I’m a horrible person. I get it. I really am.”
