#Never give up! Never surrender

[ventique18]

Begging for attention... Randomly setting up impromptu dates...

He literally just barges into your room without prior notice and for no reason 😭 (the original jp line was "What? Do you wish to tell me that I simply barge in for no reason? Of course not, I assume?")

Overly attached boyfriend 😭

To those that're upset & angry at how the Election is turning out.

Never give up, never EVER give in to the feeling that the world is going to shit cuz we all still have the chance to fight back.

Make all of your voices heard by joining in protests, fight for women & LGBT rights, donate to groups that are against Trump, etc. Criticize the President & the Government as well because nobody is above of criticism, especially that of world leaders. Unleash the inner punk that's inside of you all! We all have them and are ready to be unleashed!

We are human beings and we can still fight back against him! We have the potential to do so!

"it's not that the cultivation world didn't want to listen it's that wxx just pushed everyone away" I wanted to have the confidence in an elitist system the way this person has, I think my life would be wayyyy easier.

If you think for a second that a system that is naturally structured to let those at the top stay at the top and for those at the bottom to stay at the bottom would hear wwx when he's literally going against that then I don't know what to tell you about the real world.

Do you ever just lay awake at night, turning over in your head the stark difference in delivery between Hewson's Van saying--steadily, unshakably--"it's just something that's happening to you...happening to us" and Cypress' Taissa saying--imploringly, whiningly--"this was not just my dream, this was our dream"?

Do you ever just turn it over and over, how often Tai tried to scare Van away, and how it only made Van set her feet more firmly? How Taissa's first love was this person who saw a problem fall into Taissa's lap, a problem that was quite literally trapped inside Taissa's body, and decided unflinchingly: No, that's an us problem now? How she refused point-blank to walk away even with blood in her mouth, how she flatly informed Tai "I'm never gonna be scared of you", and promptly turned a moment of pain into a declaration of love? And how this would etch itself into Taissa for the rest of her life? How she'd take these things that worked with Van--with the person Van was, with the bond they shared--and try so hard to run through an identical script with Simone?

Except Simone is her own person. A completely different kind of person. A person who hasn't been offered any of the context, any of the realities going on inside Taissa. So: naturally she doesn't respond the way Van did at eighteen--and will go on to do all over again in her forties. Naturally, she hears our dream as the excuse it is, not as a plea for connection. Naturally, she is scared away when Taissa pushes, and shouts, and begs. Because there isn't blood in her mouth, not yet, but there will be. And they have a son to worry about. And she isn't eighteen and a special kind of immortal, a special kind of romanticized. She's a grown woman with responsibilities, with priorities, with an understanding that you can't fix someone just because you love them. And Tai can't just perform a revival of the play she and Van had memorized twenty-five years later with a whole new performer in the works, and expect it to shake out the same.

Of course it doesn't work. But look at Taissa trying it. Look at Taissa trying to reframe her first love through a new lens. Trying to recast it. Trying to play it through again. Van taught her love was sticking out the blood, shaking off the pain, making a you problem into an us problem. Does it ever just eat at you, how tragic it is, watching Taissa try to shape her marriage around a woman who isn't even wearing a ring?

I wonder what kind of mental change happened to Karkat after Dave kidnapped him! Does he become resigned and obedient, or more hysterical and sensitive? I feel very vague about this because of the anesthetic!

definitely more hysterical and sensitive! thats like the whole reason why use the anesthetic in the first place :P

he's restless and a handful, so much that dave even wonders sometimes if it's worth it to keep him confined to a single place when he seems to never get used to his condition. Since he realized dave is very unlikely to physically harm him, he always fights back whenever he can be it with bites or kicks or whatever hes capable of with the restraints.

he misses his old life and breaks down crying a lot, even blaming himself at times for being tricked like that and let everyone else suffer with the consequences of his own mistake, but he also pities dave when he knows about his sob stories and that all culminates in a big storm of conflicting thoughts in his head. poor poor karkat :/

Oleksii Mes’, a pilot of the Ukrainian Air Force, heroically fought his last battle in the skies.

On August 26, during a massive russian missile and air strike, Oleksii shot down three cruise missiles and one strike UAV. He saved countless Ukrainians from deadly russian missiles, tragically at the cost of his own life.

We will never forget you.

I haven't written any reactions to the last few updates about Jonathan or Renfield, but something struck me about the last line of Jonathan's entry for today:

"What shall I do? what can I do? How can I escape from this dreadful thing of night and gloom and fear?"

Despite all that he has seen and witnessed, despite knowing exactly what the Count is planning on doing to him and even when, Jonathan has not given up that he can escape his awful date and he continues to write for Mina, believing she will one day read his words.

Hope springs eternal!

Okay, but hear me out.

Surprise! It's been a minute. And everything is terrible.

But guess who just registered for the last regular terms of their degree program and is FINALLY gonna get that fucking paper?

If you all only knew how many times I tried and failed lol.

So I just wanted to scream about it because I am so fucking happy and proud. I'm sure I will scream some more once I actually graduate. And when I tell you all that you can do hard, scary things I swear I am not blowing smoke up your asses.

I love you all. Hang in there. ♥️
