This girl is charged with all the femininity in the world. If you go near her or touch her with your finger, a spark will light up the room and either kill you on the spot or electrify you for your whole life. If it’s so painful for a man to love and absorb electricity, how much more painful it must be to be a woman and to be the electricity, and to inspire love.

Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago (1957)

“He smiled. This was a permanent madness. And he couldn’t have been more pleased”

- Colin Bridgerton about how he feels just being in Penelope Featheringtons presence, Romancing Mister Bridgerton pg 282

I am SCREAMING

“She would keep him on his toes, this woman”

- Colin Bridgerton thinking about how hot Penelope Featherington is, Romancing Mister Bridgerton pg 283

The screams that I have scrumpt

“Do I look a mess?” She asked. He nodded. “But you’re my mess,” he whispered. And he was very glad for that.

- Romancing Mister Bridgerton pg 288

And he was very glad for that. And he was very glad for that. And he was very glad for that. I’m on the ground!!!

Honestly would absolutely love it if the Percy Jackson show incorporated some of the songs from the Percy Jackson Musical into their instrumentals. Imagine how awesome that'd be.

it's so funny to me that a lot of people only know the vampire chronicles books by the TVL intro. like those books do have a lot of things to criticize but the general prose is good lestat is just like . that

i finally got around to playing feh's latest chapter..........................

(revelation/gunter spoilers)

this is literally 'what if possessed!gunter had the idea corrin could ressurect his kids + a chapter or two to coldly & desperately try to force corrin/(you) to bring them back' as-a-gacha-oc.

i get a lot of mileage out of possessed!gunter maybe a little too much but this is a perfect, devastatingly heart-eviscerating angle. ooughhh.

I’m exhausted today but the only reason I’m exhausted today is because I was up until 3am last night, lounging on a velvet chaise, reading a four-hundred page book on eighteenth century British naval disasters to my wife. 

The lesbian agenda is exacting.

"... now I knew while my body sat safe in the cheerful little church, he had been hunting my soul in the Court of the Dragon ...

I raised my seared eyes to the fathomless glare, and I saw the black stars hanging in the heavens: and the wet winds from the lake of Hali chilled my face...

And now, far away, over leagues of tossing cloud-waves, I saw the moon dripping with spray; and beyond, the towers of Carcosa rose behind the moon...

Death and the awful abode of lost souls ... had changed him for every other eye but mine. And now I heard his voice, rising, swelling, thundering through the flaring light, and as I fell, the radiance increasing, increasing, poured over me in waves of flame. Then I sank into the depths, and I heard the King in Yellow whispering to my soul: 'It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!'"

- In the Court of the Dragon, The King in Yellow

So we've seen Crowley hiding goats against Hell's direct orders so they could live.

And we've seen Crowley yelling at people for feeding bread to ducks bc it's bad for them and that they should be given frozen peas instead.

I'm not saying that Crowley would adopt every stray animal he sees BUT—
