Me when I’m riding someone’s ass on the highway: oh my GODDD why are you so SLOW did you come from the SENIOR CENTER some of us have PLACES TO BE LETS GO PICK IT UP

me when someone’s on my ass: WOAH BUDDY SLOW THE FUCK DOWN THIS ISNT F1, Jesus Christ learn to chill out we’re all gonna get to our destination goddamn

[fuck-customers]

My least favorite part is when customers will order a dozen (doughnuts) but really what they want is a dozen (doughnut) holes, and I will confirm with them whether they wanted the dozen doughnuts or the dozen holes and they confirm they want the doughnuts, and I ring them up and the suspicion does not enter their minds that “Hey, this seems a little high” (yeah, prices keep going up everywhere, but even when we’re forced to raise prices due to suppliers raising theirs—thankfully hasn’t happened in a while—your order is only going to be $10 more if you order a lot. They do not order a lot), and then I hand them their dozen doughnuts that they said they wanted and they go, “What’s this? I wanted the holes!” Grahhhhhhh. Luckily there are more people who go, “Oh! I wanted the holes,” when I confirm with them than who do this, but ohhh myyy goddd

And then there are the people who will get mad when I read back their order to make sure I got it down correctly. We are right next to a highway, it is frequently loud inside the shop, outside the shop, or both, I can’t fucking hear. And customers will frequently say things in a confusing manner, either with wording or phrasing or putting a pause between bits so you can’t tell if the first and second go together or are separate items (it’s about 50/50), or pull shit like the above. (Or straight up use the wrong names for things. The number of times I’ve had people say “cruller” when they wanted a cronut or an old fashioned—there was even one person who actually wanted a twist. They’re not even remotely similar! Only a few wanted an actual cruller, which we do not make. The menu is literally right there; do you see them listed anywhere? Ooh, or they’ll just say they want a croissant. What kind? A croissant kolache? A croissant sandwich? A plain croissant? A cronut?? Nope, they want a regular ol’ kolache, the one made with normal bread. I mean obviously I have them clarify immediately in instances such as these, but still.) Like, damn, sorry I wanna make sure I get you the right stuff! It might all be right this time, but if it wasn’t and I didn’t confirm? You’d get mad about that too. Maybe walk into the store next time instead of coming through the drive-thru if you’re just gonna get mad at the drive-thru worker for trying to do their fucking job.

i love big cities so much like in general but one of the most magical things about urban areas is the way people just, randomly perform music in public. the amount of times i’ve gone into penn station to see some small band performing in the corner, or the random solo players on the streets of nyc, or the tons of groups performing at quincy market in boston and also the people who just randomly came up and starting dancing along to it, the videos of stuff like this and this, you just NEVER get this kinda stuff in suburban areas and it’s really something so magical to experience whenever i go into the city

scenario: Johnny takes you on a late night horse ride

characters/fandom: johnny joestar / jojo's bizarre adventure

request status/note: closed / my baby johnny oh my GODDD i love him so much like i am truly a johnny WHORE so here is a blurb for him

pronouns: she/her/afab!

"GYRO!" you screamed, speed walking towards him and shoving your phone in his face. Johnny, who was standing next to him jumped back in surprise at your booming voice, "if you got me in trouble with our mother, I swear to god I will grab my car and run you over highway 89 with it."

Gyro started laughing as he read off the various texts from your mother. he quickly typed something out before handing it back, "why would I purposely get myself in trouble just to rat you out?" you smacked Gyro in the back of his head, making him wince in pain, "oh, hey Johnny!" you said happily.

Johnny chuckled, waving at you as all three of you started walking towards the cafeteria area of campus to sit down. you were still texting your mom as you tried to drown out Johnny and Gyro's conversation. your parents had adopted you the same year that Gyro was born and because of that, the two of you had went to college together. it was Gyro's idea to attend the same college as he found it easier to room with you and Johnny so he awkward roommate situation could be avoided.

"you going back home this weekend?" Gyro asked. you shook your head no, "no. I don't feel like taking the drive up this weekend, why?" Gyro nodded, "just wondering. I won't be home all weekend in case mom asks. some of the boys want to go find a horse to save and I'm tagging along so you'll be alone with Johnny this weekend."

you nodded as you wondered why the equestrian didn't tag along himself. you kept it to yourself however as you knew that when Gyro said he was going to "save" a horse, he was going to try and find a wild horse to ride until he put himself in danger. you never were a horse rider yourself as you partook in other activities throughout high school and left any horse activities to Gyro.

"aw, it'll be a Johnny and ( your name ) weekend!" you joked making Gyro give you a disgusted face. there was one rule that Gyro had put in place for you and Johnny and that was for Johnny to never even stare in your direction. you always found Johnny cute and didn't mind furthering the relationship if he ever wanted too but Gyro would probably murder the two of you if he ever found out.

"what? couldn't handle it?" Johnny antagonized Gyro a bit more. the two of you started laughing as you saw Gyro's face light up in rage, "do you need to come along in this trip?" he threatened. you both started laughing even harder as Gyro stood up and shoving his chair in as you looked over to Johnny who was wheezing by this point.

you stood up not long after but before you could put your backpack over your shoulder, Johnny grabbed it for you. "you're heading back to the apartment right? let me carry it for you," he insisted. you nodded, giving him the bag as the two of you went towards your car.

you and Johnny weren't weird around each other as the two of you had grown used to each other. at first, your parents were adamant at first on allowing you to live with Gyro and Johnny but when they realized that it saved them money since Gyro was willing to pay your rent as well as his, they allowed you.

Johnny was practically Gyro's brother so throughout high school, he was always around your house and if he wasn't at your place, you knew Gyro would be at his.

"damn, Gyro already left and he has my nice crocs in his car," you grumbled to yourself. Johnny shook his head as he grabbed your keys to open the door, "I don't feel like ordering food for tonight. wanna make a trip to store to make some instead?" you asked as you set your things on the couch and flopped on the other one.

"sure. let me grab my wallet and we can head out," Johnny said heading into his room. as soon as he shut the door, he stared at the ground in shock. it was no secret to him that he always found you attractive. hell, you were one of the most gorgeous girls he had ever met and spending the entire weekend with you meant that maybe this could be his chance to express the interest he had in you.

because of Gyro's rule, he had made sure to never express any interest towards you but at least for this weekend, he could pretend that rule didn't exist. he grabbed his wallet and changed into more comfier clothes before heading back into the living room, seeing you nodding off.

"tired?" he asked. you nodded lazily, "Gyro had me up at eight this morning looking for something for his trip but that's besides the point we should head out. the target near here always gets packed when classes finish for the day."

Johnny grabbed his keys as the two of you went to his car. you knew Johnny came from a VERY wealthy family but every time you saw his very expensive car, you couldn't help but stare in awe. you hopped into the front seat, scoffing as you saw who was calling you, "gross, Diego," you murmured to yourself. Johnny turned to you, seeing your phone lighting up.

"gonna answer that?" he asked. you shook your head no, putting your phone face down, "he's gonna ask me to attend whatever party him and the last time I did that, I went home with him so I am okay," you explained. Johnny internally rolled his eyes as he made his way towards the store.

you were playing with the buttons on the of his radio as you saw Gyro calling you. you stared at Johnny, wondering if you should even pick it up. you quickly denied the call, texting him that you were busy and would call him back later. you knew that if he saw you inside of Johnny's car, he would probably force whoever was driving to turn around to figure out what the hell you both were doing.

once the two of you made it to Target, you grabbed the cart and headed straight to frozen section, getting a few things for the stir fry you were planning on making. Johnny was the one moving the cart for you as he grabbed the things that were out of your reach for you.

"hey, I have a question for you," Johnny asked suddenly. you turned around confused as you motioned him to continue, "lets go on a midnight horse ride," he asked. you giggled a bit nervously as you nodded, "sure. is that even safe though?" you asked. Johnny shrugged, "Gyro and I have done it before so ain't nothin' gonna happen to ya'," he replied.

your heart fluttered as you heard Johnny's southern accent pop out, "sure! I mean, do you have horse around here in order to even go on a ride?" you asked. Johnny nodded, "found him a stable to stay at while I'm down here and bring him back home when the semester is over," you rolled your eyes jokingly because of course Johnny brought his horse to college.

after the two of you finished shopping, you made your way back home as you called Gyro as soon as you stepped inside. you knew if you waited too long to call him back, he'd had some random idea that something was going on and that was the last thing you wanted to happen.

you tied your hair up and quickly got to work on starting dinner as Johnny opened up a beer for himself and poured you some wine to have by your side as you cooked. Johnny couldn't help but stare as he watched you cook. he was sort of mesmerized as if cooking was like second hand nature too you. you hardly cooked and tended to order food or eat campus food but seeing the way you were just cooking so freely made him smile internally.

"dinner is ready! come pour yourself!" you exclaimed. Johnny stood up, grabbing the cooking spoon from you and piled it on before heading to the table. you sat across from him as the two of you downed the food as quickly as possible. you had no idea if it was from the fact that the two of you hadn't eat all day or if the food was that good but you realized that the food was finished a lot quicker than you had intended.

"well, up for that ride now?" he asked. you looked over to the time, "it's only nine?" you asked. he shrugged, "well, it's dark and that was kinda the point." you nodded, grabbing your jacket and hat knowing that since winter was approaching, it was going to get colder the later you were out.

you watched as Johnny put his on baby blue cap on and adjusted it to where his hairs were sticking out messily, "ready?" he asked. you nodded, following him back out to his car and heading towards wherever Johnny kept his horse at. you knew that Johnny's horse, Slow Dancer, was his pride and joy and meant so much to him so you couldn't help but wonder how many people had been in your position before.

the ride to the stables wasn't long. it was in a secluded area of town but as soon as Slow Dancer saw Johnny, he started moving in excitement, "aww, he's happy to see you," you told Johnny as you approached the horse. he nodded, petting Slow Dancer's mane. you were hesitant to do it yourself but you felt Johnny's hand slowly grab yours and put it on his mane.

"he's a good horse. he usually lets me know when he doesn't like someone."

you smiled at Johnny as you squeezed his hand and continued to pet Slow Dancer.

"well, let me help you up," he whispered, hoisting you up and adjusting you before getting on Slow Dancer himself. Johnny told Slow Dancer to go and at first, the ride was slow but as soon as you both hit open field, Slow Dancer got progressively faster and before you knew it, you were whipping around the area faster than you had realized.

"Johnny!" you exclaimed as you held onto him tightly. he turned around, laughing at your semi-frightened expression but he could tell you were still enjoying it by the way you were holding onto him. Johnny eventually slowed him down as Slow Dancer came to a steady pace, "I bet every girl you've done this with had the time of her life," you said off-handedly.

"you're the first one darlin' and will be the last one doll," he replied. you gave him a confused look as he went in for a long awaited kiss. you returned the kiss albeit pulling away faster than he did because you didn't want to cause an accident, "you implying something?" you asked him.

Johnny sighed, "I'm implyin' that you're gonna be mine from now on," your eyes widened at his confident confession, "I am?" you whispered shyly. Johnny nodded, lifting your chin up to look you in the eyes, "sure are. we can worry about your brother later but I wanted to confess to ya while he was away or else he would've gave me a good ass kickin' if I did it while he was in town."

you laughed knowing that at least he was right in that aspect. regardless of when Gyro found out, you knew he was going to be pissed when he realized that you and Johnny were together.

"I mean, you're the one telling him, not me," you stated as you went in in for another kiss so he couldn't reply. Johnny chuckled as he remained kissing you. he was glad that this confident facade he had put up worked out in his favor as he wasn't sure what he'd do if you had denied him, "c'mon doll, I wanna ride Slow Dancer before it gets too late. don't want ya gettin' sick on me. I wanna take you out on a real date tomorrow anyway."

you nodded, giving him one more quick kiss before allowing Johnny to speed up Slow Dancer once more.

God Lord, hearing George DeValier is giving me war flashbacks to like, 2013 when you couldn't ask for a usuk fic req without someone alWAYS reqing something by him or butterfish. I feel like a grandma in this fandom. ;u;

Yoooooo, butterfish omfg, that unlocked a hidden memoryy 😂😂😂 I totally forgot about them until you mentioned it. I swear they had some good fics- okay I just searched them on ao3, it’s American Dreams in an English Village that I have recced though I’m pretty sure I’ve read all their fics. Oafttt I might need to reread that because I don’t remember what the story is abouttttt.

Aw man I’ve read a lotttt of usuk in my time lol, though I think I’ve only ever had like 150 hetalia recs? Which may seem high but I just checked- ao3 has 4093 listed usuk fics (which includes ones where they’re a side couple or they break up or die which are fics I don’t read) and I’ve read 2788 of them. Mind you I don’t think I’ve read many- if any at all- usuk fics this year lol. Lads I have no life.

But want to know one fic that has been recommended loads but deserves the hype I think? Highway Cloudbusting- man it’s canonverse and it just wowow, has the angst, the fluff and is just a general good fic from what I remember. Like lives rent free in my head.

Oh there’s another similar roadtrip one for human au, mann I can’t remember the name of ittt. I’ll need to find it because it was class. Goddd this has sent me down the usuk rabbit hole man, if yous want some recs hmu.

There’s one that I just saw in my recs that I did not read the tags for and it made me baul my eyes outtt but was still too good not to rec 💔

[jayflrt]

glad to know im not the only one who thinks men are too loud when drinking HAHA im sorry but i found so funny imagining two people arguing over the closet 💀 since we have mutual friends we knew about each other's existence but never paid any mind since he's from other faculty and most of the time i was with my head buried on books but thanks to a friend of us insta's story we started talking and now we have sort of a group of friends ???

THEY PAID $2 FOR EVERY NUT LOL and they said it because back then they were obsessed with being a REAL MAN and that included being honest about that stuff, i also remember that they had a week in December, i think, that was like a NUT WEEK and the one who did it most time won money 😭😭😭😭 god why i couldn't go to a normal high school

when u can, pls get some rest!! istg i love my career but sometimes im on the edge of falling asleep in the middle of a highway

that's an amazing goal! proud of u for taking care of yourself <3 im so sorry you had to eat one meal a day for uni motives, ive been there and it sucks so im glad u eat more now 🤧 why is a struggle for u?:( most of the time i enjoy cooking but i hate eating in uni since my mind it's like: we have 20 minutes

omg, from jun to jay,,, i find it funny bc people say they look alike HAHAHA im taking care of myself but all ive done today is sleep and eat mintchoco and sleep again

- 🏹 anon

maybe it has smthn to do with their adam’s apple 😵‍💫 otherwise they’re just obnoxiously loud for no good reason !! ALSO LMFAO it was such a ridiculous argument we argue over everything 😭😭 and that’s so sweet :’)) and such a happy coincidence you guys ended up getting to know each other??

$2??? 😭😭 their poor bank accounts oh my goddd <//3 ahh the “real man” discourse always has me running in the opposite direction bc of how absurd it is to me LOL and omg was it destroy dick december ?? 💀 i know you’re supposed to get off as many times as the corresponding day HAHAH idk how ppl go past like ,, 8

i get to sleep in tmrw bc my internship meeting got pushed back to next week !!! i’m so happy 🤍🤍🤍 my class also got cancelled tomorrow so the stars must be aligning 🤩 and oh my gosh you get some rest too when you can 🥲💗 i don’t want you falling asleep at the wheel!!! also what’s your job if you don’t mind me asking? 🥰

ahh right !!! i feel like it’s just a universal uni student experience to have had a terrible eating schedule </3 i think there was literally only one day where i had my three meals a day but it’s okay we’ll try to work back up slowly :’)) today i wanted to eat a healthier but my roommates wanted to get take out 😖 HAHAH SAME i think i’d enjoy cooking a lot more if i had the a) time and b) money. bc buying your own groceries and ingredients is lowkey stressful :’)

omg i remember they said that in iland !!! tbh since i bias quite a few juns, it stood for like junhui, renjun, yeonjun, etc 🌸🌸 omg im glad !! i hope your day/night goes well and you treat yourself 🥰 tomorrow i might go treat myself to some caffeine 💘

Unwind, Chapter 1

Okay, I am excite!!!!! I know I asked before if ppl wanted Infernal Devices, and I know it seemed like ppl did, but ever since I read Unwind a few years ago, I’ve been dying to snark it. I’m actually floored at how many people like this book. I’ve even met ppl who hate SJM but love Neal Shusterman! And it’s confusing! For anyone who doesn’t know, Unwind takes place in a world where you can’t abort fetuses, but you can have your children “unwound” (aka organ-harvested) from ages 13 to 18.

I know. And we’re supposed to take this seriously!

The book starts with “The Bill of Life”, which lays out the rule of this new world. Basically, a second civil between pro-lifers and pro-choicers splits America, until a new bill “satisfied both the Pro-life and Pro-choice armies.” Basically, parents can “retroactively ‘abort’” their teenagers by sending them away to be dismantled for parts. A finger here, a brain stem there, etc.

This is just so mind-bogglingly stupid. Like, the stupid is SO MUCH. Imagine, right now, someone proposes this to you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice—you’d be horrified. If your pro-life, there’s no way you’d be okay with a child being murdered. And pro-choice people are not “child murderers” the way the right would have us believe. Soooo…this is stupid AF. And abortion isn’t about the teenage years! It’s about not being able to feed a child, not being able to take care of a child, not being able psychologically to go through pregnancy, not being able physically to go through pregnancy, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on. No one who wants an abortion is gonna be like, “Fine, I’ll give birth or whatever, but just wait until they turn 13!” Jesus.

Let’s dive in.

Part One: Triplicate Chapter one: Connor The book starts for real with this kid, Connor, and his girlfriend, Arina, hanging out on an overpass. They’re totes upset bc Connor’s supposed to be Unwound in one week. They decide to “kick-AWOL” together, which basically means run away. Then there’s this snippet of dialogue, which always makes me laugh (and is but a harbinger of things to come):

“AWOL…” [Ariana] says. “What does that mean, anyway?” “It’s an old military term or something,” Connor says. “It means ‘absent without leave.’”

Ooooohhhhh mmmyyyy goddd we get it, they’re in the future, look at how funny it is that they don’t know the term “AWOL”!!!! Spare me.

Connor goes home, and we learn that his parents don’t know that he knows that they signed an Unwind order. Apparently he was a bit of a misbehavor, and instead of, like, not sending their child off to die, Connor’s parents have decided the totally reasonable thing to do is Unwind him. Because of course. And these aren’t, like previously abusive parents or anything. These are just parents. Shusterman is trying to show us how commonplace Unwinding is, and instead he’s showing that he can’t write well-written characters to save his life.

We also learn that Unwind orders are irreversible, which is one of the dumbest pieces of shit in this book. What if an abusive parent signs an Unwind order, and it comes out that they’re abusive? What if a parent has a mental break and signs an Unwind order? What if a parent forges the other parent’s signature? Can anyone Uwnind their kids? And wouldn’t that be a form of abuse, to hang an Unwinding over a child’s head? This is too dumb.

Also, Neal Shusterman is sadistic. Not in a good way, in a way that inspires interesting conflict and pain. But in this needless, “look at how fucking awful like just soo fucking awful this is soo awful do you see how EDGY AND SAD AND AWFUL THIS IS look at this fucking lOOK!” is ridiculous. Basically, ever since Connor found the Unwind order, he’s been acting extra good, bringing home good grades and buying his mom flowers and talking about his future. His parents are clearly in enormous pain. Not that this is an unreasonable choice for Connor to make, but Neal has set up this situation so it has to be like this. This is one of the points I’d be willing to concede as maybe a little to Extra, but we’ll see.

Connor runs away in the middle of the night and goes to Ariana’s house. Surprise, surprise, she’s not going with him. Color me shocked. I know ppl in the Unwind fandom hate Ariana for her cold-hearted betrayel, but, um, she could quite literally be given the death penalty for running away. I’m not saying it’s not noble to run away, but come on. Anyway, Connor’s having trouble finding out how to get out of town because “Juvey-cops” are always out searching for the runaway Unwinds. Apparently there are a lot of these runaways, which begs the question, IF UNWINDING IS SO UNPOPULAR, WHY. IS. IT. LEGAL. Like, I’ve already read this book, and in it, it’s only the counterculture that’s against Unwinding. It should be, like, ninety-nine percent of the country! This is isn’t subtle “misuisng the death penalty” or “mistreating prisoners of war”. This is “we are murdering children!”

Also. Juvey Cops. I CANNOT IT’S TOO FUNNY.

Apparently, all Connor has to do is hide until he’s 18 because they won’t unwind someone that old because he’s, like, a person now. Okay. Sounds legit. Gotcha. I’m sure the whole country’s perfectly all right with teenagers being seen as subhuman. Also, I know Neal is pro-choice, and this book sure is an odd way to get that message across. Fetuses! Are! Not! Teenagers! But! You! Are! Making! It! Seem! Like! That’s! Your! Message!!!!!! Ahem.

Connor finds a rest stop but oh no! Police! Excuse me, Juvey-Cops! He hides in the back of a truck, and, luckily, the trucker is sympathetic. Like literally everyone should be, but okay. So the trucker got into an accident and had to have his arm replaced with an Unwinder’s arm, and now he’s like “my arm has muscle memory from its previous owner and I’m sad and now don’t like the Unwind policy.” He’s also like, “You’re lucky it’s me you found and not anyone else” because apparently you have to be in a traumatic accident and have your arm replaced before you can be sympathetic to a teenager who’s running from being killed.

Before they can get on the road, though, the Juice Cops surround another car and force a kid that Connor knows out of it. Andy Jameson is being Unwound too! And then there’s this moment:

Well, the [Juice Coupons] didn’t see him. But Andy does, He catches sight of Connor, holds his gaze, only for a moment . . . . . . and in that moment something remarkable happens. The look of despair on Andy’s face is suddenly replaced by a steely resolve bordering on triumph. He quickly looks away from Connor and takes a few steps before the police grab him—steps away from Connor, so that the police still have their backs to [Connor]. Andy had seen him and had not given him away! If Andy has nothing else after this day, at least he’ll have this small victory.

First of all, third-person present tense is fucking off-putting and makes it sound like Elmo is narrating. Secondly, why tf would Andy give Connor away? Thirdly, can you say Gary Stue? Andy’s whole “victory” has to do with not giving away Connor, which, btw, is not such a big victory!! Because why in the world would Andy give away Connor??? It makes no sense!!!! This whole sentence is basically Connor trying to tamp down his guilt. “I’m not really doing anything to help Andy, but at least I could help him by letting him not give me away! I’m basically saving his life, here!” Whatever, we’ll let Andy have this. I guess.

Connor and the trucker (who still has no name) finally get on the road. Connor has a stupid Symbolic dream and then his phone rings which means…Connor…didn’t turn off…his phone… I’m done. I’m actually Done. Connor, do you want to be safe??? Or no?????

It had been stupid of Connor to leave his old cell phone on—that’s how they tracked him, and he wonders how many other kids are caught by their own blind trust of technology.

Omg, is Neal trying to say something about “kids these days”?? Hate to break it to ya, Neal, but most kids aren’t so blindly trusting that they’ll leave their phones on while RUNNING AWAY. We all know that shit is trackable!

The police catch them, Connor runs across a busy highway and carjacks a Cadillac. The End.

Ugh, that was exhausting. Cathartic AF, but exhausting. I think I’ll leave it at one chapter for today.

[yawpyawp]

(1/3) Sharon's day was - well, not the worst she's ever had, but definitely up there. She's sore down to her bones, and her entire left side is still tender from the impact. She's hungry and thirsty and tired, and she missed date night without having the chance to actually call to cancel - stood Nat up at the ballet they'd gotten tickets for months in advance, before the A.I.M. situation escalated. But when she gets home, she finds the bedroom empty. Nat probably went to Bucky's for the night.

(2/3) Just as Sharon is ready to slip under the covers, though, the key turns in the front door lock. Moments later, Natasha is standing in the bedroom door, nose almost as red as her hair from the cold. She’s dressed down from the ballet, drowning in one of Bucky’s sweaters. Bucky is standing behind her, holding a Walgreens bag. “We got stuck in traffic coming back,” Natasha says, puts on a pout. “The highway was blocked for some reason.” Sharon smiles at her. “Yeah, must be roadworks.”

(3/3) Natasha climbs into her lap, careful not to put any weight on Sharon. She touches her carefully, presses there-and-gone kisses to Sharon’s mouth. Sharon feels a pulse of warmth run through her, slips a hand under the hem of Natasha’s sweater, to the warm skin beneath. Sharon’s not even sure where Bucky went to, but when he returns to the bedroom he smells like–almond oil? He bends down to brush his lips against Natasha’s cheek, to kiss Sharon hello. “Bubblebath’s ready if you are.”

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GODDD??? IM GONNA CRY!?!?! THIS IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING I’VE EVER READ!!!?!?!?! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TODAY AND IT’S THE BEST MENTAL IMAGE EVER I M LOSING IT I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I WANNA DRAW THIS SO BAD

[harryfeatgaga]

When ever I feel sad I just think of those photos of Harry throwing up on the side of the highway and then I laugh and then I feel sad again cause he probably hates that those photos exist esp since they always get mentioned like I love him to much to laugh at him for it

[dopaminepig]
