poetry, photography, art and girls (because girls are art) and a bunch of gay shit a little about me: you can call me arabella or bella, I write lyrics and poetry and I take a lot of pictures, I'm bisexual and I overshare sometimes

I want someone to love all of my darkness, I want to be embraced and understood and loved throughout all of my unconventionalness, I want someone to be dark with me, dangerously obsessed with me, I want someone to crave to be owned by me.

I feel like I was living a teen romance show with this girl, not sure if I will keep living it or not.

Hi, I haven't been on tumbler for years and seeing my old posts made me cringe bc I was 16-18 when I last used tumbler, I was deleting everything that I posted and reposted but then I saw a post where I said "no one ever wants to listen to me" and realised I was right bc now even as an adult I didn't want to see or listen to myself.

So fuck that, I'm keeping the baby gay shit, I'm keeping the Larry shipping one direction fan, I'm keeping the 5sos fan I'm keeping everything because I love myself now, and I love who I used to be too, even if it cringes me out, I love every part of me.

“It’s alright if this isn’t a good night; if you’re the only one who understands what you’re going through. And I know tomorrow might not be so wonderful but I hope you never quit trying. You matter even if you think you’re hopeless now. Your life is important even if you paint it like the murkiest dawn. And maybe the emotional part of you keeps shutting you down. But hear me out: I care for you, and there are people who genuinely do.”

Put your struggles into comforting words as much as you can. This is the purpose of why I write. The biggest mistake you can make is using the wrong words; you can break yourself. That’s why you repair your mind with the right ones.

A subtle reminder to not be so hard on yourself, life is a constantly teaching us its lessons.

i like to imagine that clark kent’s search history is mostly normal but then there’s stuff like “improved superman costume concept art” because he wanted ideas

no but like… do you sue him for using your designs? Do you politely ask him to stop using your designs? Do you ask him for license fees when the Superman merchandise adopts your design as well? 

i am absolutely sure that he would find one with an artist’s comment/description that included “hey superman if you’re reading this feel free to use this anytime ok ;3″ and he would say “oh man that’s so thoughtful, thank you weedhorse69, I think I will” and like how do you explain in court that you, weedhorse69, did not intend for your statement to be any kind of contractual offer because you did not think he would ever find your public internet post with his name all over it

tumblr is garbage and likes to resize everything and readmores don’t work on mobile anyway so you all will just have to click through if you want to read weedhorse69′s chatlog screenshots

The single best piece of writing advice I ever got was from a professor teaching a playwriting class, who told us that in every scene, especially scenes that were just dialogue, every character should want something. Making every character in a scene have a goal is an easy way to avoid dialogue that’s just exposition, and to make sure your dialogue drives the plot forward and/or reveals characterization. 

It doesn’t have to be complicated or super weighty–as long as the characters have a goal, there will be tension in the scene even if the goals are small. Character X wants to borrow a pen, and character Y wants to make a good impression on character X. X wants to insult Y until they go away, and Y wants to annoy X by pretending not to notice the insults. X wants Y to give them the last slice of pizza, and Y is super full but still doesn’t want X to have it. No matter what your character’s goal is, it will reveal something about who that character is to the reader, and the conflict between your characters’ goals will give the scene momentum.

I apologize for not reblogging him as much but everyone needs this on their dash daily.  Seriously everyone needs this on their blog or wherever. Do they rerun this anymore or no?

Words of wisdom!

Imagine John finding out that vlogging is a thing.

Imagine John vlogging istead of just blogging.

Imagine John following Sherlock around and making sarcastic jokes and Sherlock being all roll eyes and annoyed looks, but then being the first to watch the vlog like the fluffy puppy that he is.

Imagine John showing the flat to his public and entering their room “This is the bedroom…” and Sherlock shouting “No, John I’m in my pants! Get out of the room” and John being like “And that, people of the internet, is Sherlock’s magnificent ass. It’s mine though. And that is now an angry boyfriend…and that is what I look like when the camera is thrown to the floor”

IMAGINE JOHN MAKING A PROPOSAL VIDEO.

IMAGINE THE WEDDING VLOG.

IMAGINE

JOHN

WATSON

VLOGGING

The world doesn’t have time, nor does it care about your doubts. So lose them, give everything all you’ve got and prove yourself.
