So in English class we had to draw a scene from The Great Gatsby. After the drawings were done the teacher was showing them to the class, and one drawing was a pic of Gatsby reaching towards at the green light, but in the drawing Gatsby didn’t have hands. So my teacher starts saying something like how this picture has hidden meaning and portrays the helplessness Gatsby feels, and the kid next to me just casually says “I can’t draw hands.”
if u feel like u dont know what ur doing w ur life just remember that venus spins backwards and we dont even fuckin know why. just do whatever you wanna honestly
Read them hashtags folks! Vik is probably reading High Hawk Season and Jayce..well, not so lucky.
you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands
My favorite thing about Victor Hugo is that the Notre Dame Cathedral was a huge eyesore on the verge of collapsing and was planned to be demolished but Victor Hugo was like “hey :( I like that building” and wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame to save it. and it worked
In the book he described the cathedral in the state it was in but also in comparison to what it looked like in the 15th century before it got all fucked up in the French Revolution. His book got translated into a fuck ton of languages and was distributed all around Europe. Tourists who were fans of him would go to see it while in Paris and were appalled to see just how bad of shape it was in and it started to become stain on paris’ reputation.
So finally the king funded the Hella expensive restoration which I imagine was one really fucking gnarly project, the structure it’s self being the tip of the ice burg because of how many religious artifacts and statutes and junk that had been ruined.
So thanks Vicky that’s one hell of a beautiful tower.

"Impossible! How can you still move? My spell stops time!" "Yeah that's the problem right there buddy. You created a spell to stop time when you should have created a spell that stops me."
i imagine someone saying to aziraphale something about making peace with your demons, and him completely missing the point and just pulling teeny crowley out of his pocket and just going "oh well, I've done more than that, I've made friends with mine 🥰" (vague spoilers in the tags)

Just... What do you mean by this? What do you mean that a love I have not felt would be the reason for me to accept a love that I should not accept? What do you mean that my desire to be loved by someone, and I will take it to be anyone, anyone who sees me as who I am, who cares for me who I am, who look at me and tell me I am beautiful, and that will be enough for me to just give all of myself to that person, and all of this is not my fault? Because how can it be? How can it be when I haven't felt that before? When I haven't had someone tell me that I am beautiful, I am accepted as who I am? Did my company give them joy? Oh my God. This quote right here. It's so... It frees me of that guilt I feel when I'm with someone that I should not be with. What do you mean? Hey, silly, where's your self-respect? How can you be with that person? It's just the bare minimum. I know it is bare minimum. But it is something, right? Why can't I have just something? When I haven't had any one single thing in forever. Can't it justify my desire to be loved even if it's just something?
Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me
“ncuti didn’t have a proper entrance” to YOU. all I saw was him getting treated as the main hero the moment he stepped onto the screen. Getting to call David Tennant a decrepit old man while also being like “shhhh kiddo go play with your friends I got this now” and having the best entrance of any of the doctors I’ve seen so far??
