love is like a suit of armor. it makes you strong.

And anyway it’s the same old story— a few people just trying, one way or another, to survive.
Mostly, I want to be kind. And nobody, of course, is kind, or mean, for a simple reason. - Mary Oliver, "Dogfish" démarche. a course of action. lady. white. cis. pop culture taste of a teenager, patience of an octogenarian, birth certificate of a twenty-something.

to state the beyond obvious, i don’t really go here anymore—but my friend convinced me to post a twilight fic i both adore and wrote nearly a decade ago (apparently there’s some renaissance happening?) so i’m here to say hey, hope you like it:

wild heart | Jacob doesn’t kiss her. She tells him she’s sorry, keeps thinking about Paris, about stitching herself together. But she doesn’t fly to Rome. 

AU: When Edward calls to see if Bella is alive in New Moon, Bella picks up the phone instead of Jacob.

when janelle monae finished telling me about how everything is sex except sex (which is power) and hit me with that “now ask yourself who’s screwing you” for the first time, i ascended far beyond this plane and met with the deity that rules this universe before coming back into my body a fully enlightened being

michel foucault was bald because janelle monae spoke these lyrics to him through a rift in spacetime and immolated his wig 

The Signs As Sweet Things Scott Has Said About Tessa

Aries: “And we have this moment when we’re in different dressing rooms, and we come out in the hallway and see each other for the first time, when I see T, and she just looks awesome, there’s nothing like that. We try to reserve that special moment so we can feel that.” (x)

Taurus:  “I wouldn’t be a figure skater if it didn’t start with Tessa” (x)

Gemini:  “Something really changed in my life when I started to hold the hand of a very beautiful little girl and it just seemed to make more sense to hang out with a cute girl than to hang out with 19 other guys”. (x)

Cancer:  “Sometimes I might not have the power to do it for myself but I will always do it for Tess.” (x)

Leo:  “That shouldn’t be a problem for Tess, she does beautiful really well.” (x)

Virgo:  “She was the rock for me today.” (x)

 Libra:  “What I look forward to is seeing Tessa snap out of character after she dies and be all happy.” (x)

Scorpio: “She’s an all around beauty.” (x)

Sagittarius: “There’s nowhere I’d rather be than skating with her.” (x)

Capricorn:  “ When Tessa gets really excited, she does this thing between a laugh and a cry. It’s the best. Usually I’m hugging her at that point and it’s so awesome.” (x)  

Aquarius: “I think my dream was just to hold Tessa’s hand for as long as I could, I don’t think I was thinking ‘Olympics’.” (x)

Pisces:  “ I don’t think she realizes that she keeps me alive.” (x)

“I was a fan of [the creator of Lost] Damon Lindelof’s writing and I had watched every episode of Lost live, as it happened, and I just wanted to meet the man. When I had the idea for The Good Place, I felt very strongly that I was out of my depth and needed to talk to someone, and so I called Damon and said, ‘Will you meet me for breakfast? We’re gonna play a game called ‘Is this anything?’ where I tell you an idea for a TV show and you tell me whether it’s anything.’ And that’s what we did. Damon Lindelof saying, ‘This is something’ is the reason The Good Place exists. So thank him, if you like it.” Mike Schur (x)
