Tigris: You Fainted, Do You Remember Anything?

Every Kiss: #56 | 1.24 The Twizzle  

so i found a pitman shorthand translator last night

not to sound like a christian facebook mom but some of yall need to have grace in your hearts for the people in your lives or the people you pass once on the road and never see again like you literally need to stop assuming the worst of everyone and their intentions it is poisoning your brain. you can be careful and responsible without being a miserable person. it is possible i promise

somethin I've noticed

So I’m reading The Making of Frankenstein by Daisy Hay (cause I’m a hoe for absolutely anything concerning my Geneva squad babies) and she’s talking about the manuscripts of Frankenstein allowing us to see how the book progressed as Mary wrote and Percy edited. AND THERE’S PICTURES. There’s one part where Percy added comments in pencil and Mary went over them in pen to make sure she’d remember to add them in and another part where she scribbled out his suggestions altogether. One part shows that Percy must have slammed the book shut because the ink from his pen left corresponding splashes and splotches on the opposite page and you can see where Mary switched from chunky pens to thin-nibbed ones. Percy used black ink and Mary used brown ink. I felt like I’d been transported to a candlelit room with Mary sitting at her desk hurriedly writing away as Percy looked on and honestly BOOKS ARE MAGIC!❤️❤️

Thank you

I know I can't be the only one who just really, unironically loves Romeo and Juliet. Decades of forced readings in English classes and every terrible parody under the sun have ruined it for so many people but it's so good! It's popular for a reason! You're not cool and edgy for hating it! It's gorgeous and tragic and I just. I love r&j a lot.

I’m glad Goncharov (1973) is finally getting some attention on Tumblr but I feel like no one’s even mentioned this incredible OST from Alessandro Procacci. The way that if you play “The Bridge” and “The Clocktower” at the same time, they seem to echo back at each other like they’re conversing?? I got chills

the look of love ೀ

how to describe a loving gaze

⇸ eyes darting all over your face, trying to figure out which part of you they want to set their eyes on the most (it's impossible)

⇸ gazing at you like you're miles away only when you're a few feet away, standing with another person. their stare is hard, intense, but also melting and blank.

⇸ a featherlight touch to your arm with their eyes softly peering up at you. they can't believe that you're allowing them to touch you like this—so innocent, so softly.

⇸ late nights where its just the two of you in a car. they turn over to look at you but immediately turn. for the safety of the both of you, they can't stare at you any longer

⇸ when you're teasing them, they have to bite down extra hard to not release that smile from their lips. their eyes are squinted more tightly than usual. still, they're glued onto you.

⇸ meeting their eyes from across the room, and the two of you have the exact same thought. you turn away first to hold back your laughter, but their eyes are pinned onto you.

⇸ a softened gaze in a random moment. there's no reason for them to be looking at you like that—with slightly hooded eyes and parted lips—except for the fact that they just love seeing you

⇸ you're twirling around in your new outfit, showing the 360 angle. their pupils look like they're completely taking over the iris of their eye. suddenly, breathing becomes a lot more faster than they remember.

⇸ tears run like thrashing rivers on your face, dripping onto your pants and soaking the sleeves of your shirt. but they don't care. even when wiping your tears, they still can't get over how you look absolutely angelic like this.

⇸ eyeing you in the middle of the night, feeling incredibly lucky that they are the only one who can look at you in this state. a smile dawns upon their face as they trace the shape of your jaw, press their fingers in your cheekbones, and kiss you on the cheek.

⇸ a make-out session that seems like it will never stop until they pull away, and the reason being, "i needed to look at you like this," with swollen lips and a red flush.

⇸ laughter dying down into silence. looking at each other and bursting into laughter again.

⇸ being completely bare in front of each other after a long night. shameless admiration where their eyes move up and down your face and body. there's a mix of lust and adoration in their eyes.

⇸ watching you storm off, and all they can do is stand there, focused on your fleeting figure. their face is contorted—not in an angry way—but a look of concern flashes across their features. did they just lose the one they loved the most?

⇸ getting food with the other person and realizing that this is all it takes for you to be content. this is what happiness feels like, you think.

⇸ a gripping hug that makes you feel so seen. that one second during the embrace where you two both look at each other, and time stands still. you want to frame the expression on the other person's face.

⇸ seeing you, and a beaming smile immediately breaks out of their face.
