— Fredrik Backman, Anxious people
"My name's Dante," he said.
That made me laugh harder. "Sorry," I said.
"It's okay. People laugh at my name."
"No, no," I said. "See, it's just that my name's Aristotle."
His eyes lit up. I mean, the guy was ready to listen to every word I said.
"Aristotle," I repeated.
Then we both kind of went a little crazy. Laughing.
"In the best conversations, you don't even remember what you talked about, only how it felt. It felt like we were in some place your body can't visit, some place with no ceiling and no walls and no floor and no instruments."
-John Green, Turtles All the Way Down
"But when people understand one another without speaking, it can often leave them with very little to talk about, don’t you think?"
-Tove Jansson

slowly rewatching Haunting of Hill House with my sister and we’re on Two Storms and I just adore the episode so muchcan’t wait to finish our rewatch of the show and rewatch the video essay “stretching genre haunting of hill house” by ladythebraveknight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSZVIW6zM9I (they also did Bly Manor and got to interview Mike Flanagan)
the other day we convinced our dad to watch the trailer and well the best way to describe his reaction is nervous/ scared to the point he backed away from the laptop that we were watching it on and walked into a different room in our house before the trailer was even finished

its just wrong enough to make it feel right – princess diaries 2 au
– long aus:
tell me that i'm all you want (even when i break your heart)

James: [rubbing Lily’s baby bump] I know how miserable you are I wish there was something I could do
Lily: [glaring at him]
James: I wish I was a seahorse
Lily:
James: because you know-they carry the babies...and I would be far away in the sea..
ROUND 2 - Here we go again, but let’s throw some yearning in there. Just a smidge. Just a little bit. Still a lot of fluff.
I’ve gotten a few requests for a second list of feel good jily fics, so here we go! I currently have 243 tabs open, so we’re ready to roll! A bunch of one shots! Love the heck out of these fics! Comment like there’s no tomorrow!
Here is the first list if you’d like to take a peek over there
Spring Breaks Loose @charmingwillow - We’re starting off with some pinning here. James has a girlfriend and we get to see moments of Lily dealing with this while she has some feelings for the boy
All Your Moments @nah-she-didnt - Lily realizes something very important while spending time with James after he loses the house cup and it’s so SWEET
Takes a Little Extra Time, But it all Works Out @corinnesamuels - This is such a cute little peek at what could have been if things had gone differently
Whose Part is this, by the way? @theroomofreq - An absolute fluff ball of a fem!jily fic that is absolutely required reading. “I’m not all that interested in trousers“ is the new code
Sirius and Jamie’s No Kiss List @imaginejily - Another fem!jily fic, this time with some wolfstar woven in. I love the relationship between Sirius and Jamie and Lily is amazing!
Lightening Strikes @the-dream-team - This isn’t so much fluff as it is cathartic. Lily and James are a team and they’re willing to throw punches
Where are your Clothes? @startanewdream James ends up naked in front of Lily before their first date. Like seven hours before their first date. On accident. It’s very cute <3
they loved. @mppmaraudergirl - I was going to pick my favorite one-shot from this collection, but I’ll just link you to the first one so you can read all of them. They’re all so cute and full of pinning and ridiculousness
Immature, Juvenile Nonsense @orderofthepygmypuff - How can we not love this fic when it has a title like that? James and Lily find themselves in a broom cupboard. Some things come to light.
First Meeting @authorpetalstosarah - James meeting the fam! And Lily’s family (with some exceptions bc Petunia is Petunia) It’s so much cuteness and 20 shades of wonderful !
augabragð @gryffindormischief - This is also a collection of one shots, I linked it to one of the jily ones where Lily finds herself at a slug club party with James’ dad and it’s hilarious!
Warmth @women-inthe-sequel - Catch me not linking this fic to everything when I’m dead. Fem!jily take a shower together. It doesn’t get more fluffy
Oil be there for you @abby10fanfic - I love this fic so much. I mean, I love all of abby’s texting fics, but throw in a good MLM scheme and it’s just *chef’s kiss*
about time @jiilys - holy shit I love this fic. James is famous and going to a red carpet event. he wants to bring his friend. Mia is wonderful. I can’t sing this fics praise enough.
Cold Mess @maraudersftw - James and Lily, who are very much pinning for one another, get thrown into detention together after being caught out and about. We love arguing, pinning prejily!
Breathless @frustratedpoetwrites - catch me linking another fem!jily fic! I love this one so much. The attention to hands, the friendship between Jamie and Sirius, Lily’s entire being, it’s all wonderful <3
You Can Hear it in the Silence @alrightginger - We’ve got a non-verbal, deaf Lily in a soulmate universe where anything you say about your soulmate ends up written on your skin. AHHHH
