I first saw you in the beginning of autumn

And we first spoke when all the leaves had fallen.

I gazed at you from a distance all winter long

And by spring, we exchanged a few furtive glances,

timid nods and half waves of acknowledgement.

But I never knew you in summer.

Yet the color of your eyes was made for the season,

the warmth of the golden sunshine in your soft brown eyes.

I never saw you again.

Autumn will commence once more in a few days but will our paths converge this time around?

Will this be the coldest winter without the stalwart sight of you?

Will the rebirth of spring finally decide to make you mine?

Or will the heat of next year’s summer witness me without your presence?

If there is truly no lifetime where we are meant to be, may I bury all thoughts of you in between seasons.

But let this be an eternal shrine to your memory.

May you live forever in my words even though you will have long since died in my heart.

Not really a fan of Bridgerton, but I am a fan of Nicola Coughlan's response to everyone shitting on her for being "too big" to play a love interest

[but-the-library-of-alexandria]

say what you want about bridgerton I know it's not a Good Show or whatever but nicola coughlan insisting on being 'as naked as possible' in this series as a 'fuck you' to everyone saying she's too fat to be a romantic lead and because 'when I'm 60 I wanna watch it and remember how fucking hot I was' is ICONIC BEHAVIOR

lestat de lioncourt is too silly he really said "after it took me over a century to get over my dead boyfriend, the most depressed man in all of france, i am ready to try again with my new boyfriend: the most depressed man in all of america"

I was never one to believe that dreams had underlying meanings.

To me, dreams were just our playful subconscious, something for psychology to explain away rationally, logically. But never something to be taken too deep.

I was the farthest from romanticizing them. They weren’t something magical — not a glimpse of the future nor a mirror to a parallel universe.

Maybe random flights of fancy, of lives we couldn’t live when we’re awake. Maybe I was just tired. Or stressed. Too busy. Had too much on my plate.

I was meant to forget them as soon as the transformative power of daylight anchored me back to reality, but—

I dreamt of you.

Once. Then twice.

There was no mistaking you even if you were so out of place in my dream.

And I desperately wanted to believe then that it meant something.

Were you somehow thinking of me? (Impossible.) Did I somehow cross your mind even for a fraction of a second? Did you hear someone mention my name in passing? Maybe they didn’t mean me, just someone else with the same name, but at that moment, was it me you thought of? Am I somewhere in your subconscious?

—

Oh gods, this reeks of desperation. But the universe also knows how much I’m still yearning.

For you.

Only you can haunt my dreams and make me plead for them to be some message from the stars.

You. In my dreams. Again and again, and once more. This is my poison of choice. My opium. My absinthe.

And there is no haunting more vicious than this.

I have can’t stop thinking of Penelope Featherington disease.

[dearestgentlereaders]

and he wonders why his wife would question whether he was ever punished as a child as if he isn’t the most dramatic bitch around

[polin-ista]

When he said "plan to entrap me" i actually laughed like baby boy i know you're mad but your gurl was five seconds away from a proposal before you gatecrashed it and when she actively tried to escape you. you ran her carriage down, finger banged her in the back of it and then proposed of your own volition.

What exactly did she do? Eat cake? Actively stay away from you? Engage in courtship with someone else?

Sorry its so funny 😂🤣

Colin Bridgerton truly is a man of action, but only if his family points out that he should do something first lol. His mom is like "hey you should maybe talk to Penelope before she gets engaged."

And Colin goes, "Yes, absolutely, good point. I'll go get engaged to Penelope immediately. Thanks mom."

And then Anthony goes, "Hey you should probably tell Penelope you love her with your words."

And Colin immediately stands up and is like, "Such a great point, I'm going NOW."
