That's it. That's the post.
(he's one of my favorite Studio Ghibli characters )
and someone still loves him
girls be like *he is my comfort character* and whamm! it's the most emotionally traumatized fictional man you've ever seen!
Heeseung- 'Why didn't you stop me?'
Not sure why but when I hear it, I think of heeseung🤔. It just goes well with him.
Jay - 'Nobody'
I think it just suits him, the lyrics have a deep meaning and when the song comes on it reminds me of jay :).
Jake- 'Me and my husband'
It just gives me the "happy life" vibes🤷 jake is very energetic and always smiles it's so sweet.
Sunghoon - 'A pearl '
On the outside everyone see's Sunghoon as a cold and introverted person. But we all really know he's much more than that, he's actually pretty soft and I think this song represents that very well.
Sunoo - 'I bet on loosing dogs '
Sunoo is so gentle,peaceful,and just precious. the song just sounds like his whole personality.
Jungwon - 'Washing machine heart'
The song is about a person wanting to be there for someone even if that person doesn't want them. As the leader Jungwon is always there for all the members no matter what. He always tries to cheer them up it's so sweet😭
Ni-ki - 'Two slow dancers'
Ni-ki is so young and it feels like he's growing so fast, the song is about slowing down time and enjoying the moment while you can. I think you can put 2 and 2 together💛
Having bpd is crying because someone has given you a gift.
Not because the gift is too beautiful. But because they paid attention to your words. To what you said. They watched you and saw how you look at things.
Because they thought of you, saw you smiling with it, and got it for you.
Having bpd is calling them an idiot because they got you a gift.
Not because it is too expensive. But because you are so used to feeling so worthless that someone spending money on you just because you wanted something sounds so selfish and so wrong that you feel the need to fix it. You feel the need to apologize, to make up for a fucking gift, because you are not that much of a thing to be given gifts.
Having bpd is being stunned to silence because someone has given you a gift.
Not because it was a surprise. But because you never even expected someone to think of you. You never consdiered the possiblity of being on the receiving hand of a holiday. Never thought people would be grateful for your existance too, not when all you see in the mirror is a disgusting void.
Having bpd is not being able to thank your friend.
Because you don’t know how to thank people when they consdier you as a human being and consider your feelings and thoughts while buying you something just to see you smile.
I have bpd and I am crying over here just because I got a gift, because I still don’t think I was worth it.

i think it would be good if lwj quit being chief cultivator and let nhs take over. not for political or character reasons i just think it would be funny if cultivation society was like “oh thank goodness we don’t have that righteous hanguang-jun in charge anymore, we can get away with anything now” with exactly zero idea what they’re in for
Ok like on one hand, fuck Chinese censorship. On the other hand, literally every other piece of media should take notes from the untamed on how to show two characters are incredibly in love without explicitly saying so
I've never met someone who disliked me for the right reasons. Only I know why you should dislike me and you're wrong
About the Russian invasion - how is everyone feeling there? What can we do to help?
Thank you so much for asking!
A little bit of history: it's actually been 8 years since russia first invaded our country. But for the last years it was getting more and more quiet. And now BOOM again
Many people evacuated from the destroyed by war cities in 2014 and some still live there even though they support Ukraine. It's hard to leave your home. So it's emotionally different for everyone. There was a joke that people from Kyiv worry more than people from Eastern Ukraine. Because they have experienced a similar thing in 2014 and now they're more prepared than ever before.
Personally, I'm panicking from time to time, because, yup, it's stressful. Most people don't really speak about the war and evacuation because it's scary. But I feel like everyone's trying to be prepared for the evacuation or fighting. Every night does feel like a last one, after all.
Since the beginning of the war, our people have been giving money to military charity. One of the most famous military charities is "Return alive" (Povernysya zhivim). Many Ukrainians donate here every month. Here is a link for Facebook page of the charity, let me know if it translates to English or if i should make a post with translation:
There is also a charity that helps military. Yana Zinkevych, a Ukrainian politician and a commander of the Hospitallers Medical Battalion, leads this charity. In 2015 she was paralyzed during a mission and since then she has been using a wheelchair. She has personally saved more than 200 soldiers and she's awesome.

In her post here she makes a list of needed ammunition and the needed money.
I tried to write about the charities that Ukrainians trust in. They are famous, they have been trusted by people all these years, so as far as I am concerned, they can be trusted.
Here is a post by @everlasting-burnout who provided more links. They seem trustworthy.
Thank you so much for reading and I encourage to reblog. Just to remind you, I'm trying to tell about Ukrainian situation as objectively and as truthfully as I can
When Lan Wangji has had enough, and the armor breaks.
