I’m so angry I picked up Charlie’s lip smacking when thinking something’s appetizing or delicious, despite him only ever doing it a single time

They’re not going to rebuild Castle Byers because Will can’t rebuild his childhood, which is the reason he destroyed Castle Byers in the first place. He’d been trying to hold on to a level of carefree ignorance that no longer existed for him. The problems Castle Byers saved him from have been replaced by new problems that are bigger and stronger than a child’s fort. He needs to face them differently. Thank you and goodnight

To say I am worried about what will happen tomorrow is an understatement.

I like to have a brave face. I never shy away from what I believe in, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to keep that face up.

And I’m not even worried about me.

Friends could face deportation, my entire school could get targeted because we are one of the most openly queer and progressive schools in my state, and the people I consider my found family could be hurt.

And it’s ok to not be at your best tomorrow. It’s ok to cry and be vulnerable. Because all the shit they will try and enforce with crash and burn in their faces. It will blow up right before their eyes. And it will come from their side.

asoiaf thesis statement

[leafatlaw]

genuinely distraught at the idea that people dislike Catcher in the Rye. What do you mean you dislike Holden ? Yes he’s a whiney self righteous teenage boy, but like he’s just very blatantly depressed ??? He blames himself for his brothers death ?? He’s just a kid ??

Maybe it’s just cause everything Holden is saying and feeling connects so closely to my own experiences with depression and growing but he just feels like a deeply realistic kid. He makes stupid decisions and he spends the entire novel just trying to make a “meaningful connection” with someone. He feels entirely alone and as such obsesses over ideas and people that are ultimately meaningless but he attributes such value to them. And even more than that, the end of the novel is hopeful. He’s going to keep living for his little sister, he’s going to try again at another school. Just- even the title of the novel “catcher in the rye”- he wants to help people. He wants to save people from the reality of the world that hurts him so.

It’s really funny to me that Alice Isn’t Dead is called that, because when you first listen to it, Alice is very much not the character whose life you worry the most about. Like, Keisha, I am so glad your wife is alive, but I’m more concerned about you right now. A guy literally devoured a dude (not sexually) AND an omelet (also not sexually) right in front of you, and it seems like that doesn’t even make the top 10 worst things that happened to you this month. how are YOU not dead yet?

Let me intorduce you to one of my absolute least favorite northern weathers: ”pääkallokeli” in finnish, aka ”skull weather” !! It’s when everything is icy and slippery, and comes from ppl falling & cracking their skulls :) And boi my trusty old doc martens I’ve used every day for 3 years straight and pure ice roads don’t go well together, I have no traction whastoever and am slipping big time!! Everytime I step a foot outside it’s a gamble

Today was so fucking hard and tomorrow’s going to be worse. I’m going to get a chicken shawarma wrap to remind me life can be beautiful

In the monster hunter au is there a reason the werewolf curse can't be cured?

Yes! I think it means a lot more narratively within the whole story if it can’t be cured.

Claire’s going to have to come to terms with it, she’s going to have address that her original recklessness set her on this path and no, it can’t be changed. Things happen, irreversible, good or bad things and you can’t change that.

But just because it happened, again good or bad, doesn’t mean you can’t continue, you can’t live, you can’t be happy, things may never be the same again and that’s sometimes a really hard pill to swallow. With time and support though things may just work out.

Book: Irene Adler “The Woman” is a famous opera singer and actress, and one of four people to ever beat Sherlock Holmes in a battle of wits. Adler loves her husband dearly and only keeps hold of the blackmail she has over the Duke in order to keep herself safe, and will never reveal the photo to the public as long as he leaves them alone. Holmes never shows any romantic interest in Adler, or anyone for that matter, and only ever admires her for her wit and cunning.

Every adaption after: Irene Adler is a femme fatale, hopelessly in love with Sherlock Holmes, and some combination of a wanted criminal and dominatrix. Adler is allowed to beat Holmes ONCE, in order to teach him humility, but after that he needs to beat/save her in order to adhere to the status quo, and undo the lesson Book!Holmes learnt in the first place. This is somehow more feminist.

Thank GOD this blog is over.

I knew, vaguely, someday, that this would probably happen. I used Gmod partly as a creative move— I felt like it created an uncanny level of detachment and distance from the world, which I felt represented sanitization and our POV character perfectly… and also because I couldn’t draw. I can draw now. That’s slightly less important and majorly less insightful artistic vision stuff.

There are rumors that the takedown notice is false. If it is, I don’t see the Gmod team going back on their choice anyway. It’s 20 years of work they have to go through and then 20 years of work to undo it for something that may come back and be real.

Now I highly doubt this means Pistachio’s little corner of tumblr is doomed, but I’m now going to go through the process of archiving this blog. Obviously if the comic is somehow taken down, I won’t be able to put it up anywhere else, but you can rest assured it’ll be safe on my hard drive.

Thank you for following Pistachio’s journey.
