Don't get me wrong, the friends-to-lovers trope is a classic, and I adore it, especially if it's a slow burn, but I'd lose my mind before we became lovers.

Hey Guys. My Little Red aka. @texasred43 didnt even get the chance to fight.

I dont know if this is fitting but shes got a great page.

As tribute Im going to return to the beginning of our friendship thru her archive.

Please join me reposting from her years of posts here on tumblr. Only we know of her best and true desires and feelings as she kept us away from judgemenral bible belt people around her small town.

Small..lol...the only 24 hr purchase you can make there is a coke machine behind the pharmacy. In the middle of town she said. Thats where the traffic light is. She said.

Lol. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT...LOL

The redheaded country mouse and the redheaded city mouse.

So different and still absolutely connected instantly in every easy way. Maybe the red hair. Im not sure.

I'm just lucky to have had her.

She was so worth keeping around longer, so much longer.

I dont understand why the Universe/Fate/God does the things he does.

I know we are not supposed to question "The Plan". Im just a bad girl because I will question everything when it comes to people I love.

Sorry. Im not good with processing emotional pain.

I'm taking my sorrow to the one man on the line that has never turned on me Kinksters...

Jack Daniels.

A Toast .....To TexasRed43.

You will always be loved Little Red.. May God Keep You.

Sorry...I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

None of us did. Not even her family.

Too soon..

Okay...okay...okay....it's really not okay...

Cheers...

And before anybody makes an opinion..Yeah those are Marlboros. Im smoking today.

Just dont!

The one where we all lost a great friend

[spineless-lobster]

Okay but like the friendship between gaunt, devi and archie pritchard literally means so much to me they’re so silly together!!!!! Having a hell of a time in a pow camp while pritchard shares his adam bede headcanons, devi is teasing gaunt to no end, gaunt’s like “you two are idiots, I’m keeping you” while also reminiscing about his time at grinstead with devi DO YOU GET IT DO YOU UNDERSTAND?????

20th May 2002 ~ for my beloved cat Scully 🐈‍⬛

Today is the anniversary of my cats birthday. Scully was born on 20th May 2002 and i had her with me half of my life. She died few days before new year, on 29th December 2022.

Most people will never understand the bond and love some of us have for our pets. Because for me, this adorable little cat was more than just a pet.

She was my best friend and my family. She was more family to me than my biological family. I had her by my side during the darkest times of my life and she literally kept me alive. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here today. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I miss and love her with all my heart and that will never change.

My forever cat & my best friend ❤️‍🩹 always

rewatching l’amica geniale 1x01 and

+ alfonso’s offscreen introduction signaling his sexuality/gender nonconformity, foreshadowing his coming out and eventual murder… “alfo, did you take the shoemaker’s doll?” initially feels like such a throwaway line but in hindsight, deeply unsettling

+ the adaptation does such a great job underscoring the precise moment (thinking specifically of when lila corrects carmela’s math problem and maestra oliviero screams at her that she’s nothing) at which lila begins to understand that she will never have the future she wants, has worked toward and deserves, that from this point on her intelligence (both innate and acquired) has been effectively and permanently dismissed, rendered void of value, and that it’s ultimately better to hide and suppress what makes her so extraordinary than continue to openly expend time and effort, openly express passion, only to be violently reminded time and again that the sharpness of her mind matters to no one but herself and maybe god willing lenu

+ so fitting that don achille is deliberately built up as this untouchable, sort of regional bogeyman only to become the first to die in the neighborhood, it’s like ferrante is saying you can give yourself airs, you can insulate yourself against every conceivable threat but death comes as it may, society will reform itself instantaneously around your absence, now your life is ended and this is all you ever were

farewell, my idiot son…

Uggh just found out about Mandisa…heartbreaking

[cryptidfuckery]

Honestly I think one of my favorite human things is when someone does something often enough (usually socially or physically) that people start calling the action by their name like "Wow you really pulled a Greg" or "oh I see his car, we're about to get Pauled" or "I think I might just swing an Alice and see if I can get out of it" like

Oh to be known well enough with predictable enough actions and behaviors that they become yours to the people around you. Hundreds, thousands might do the same but to your friends and loved ones, someone forgetting to put shoes on before leaving the house can become a "Margaret" to all those that know Margaret and knows Margaret is notorious for leaving the house with their feet naked and slapping

you know the oblivious pining in in memoriam would be hilarious if not for the horrors of war and its impact on the human psyche

MATTHEW PERRY

1969 - 2023

"Now, all these years later, I’m certain that I got famous so I would not waste my entire life trying to get famous. You have to get famous to know that it’s not the answer. And nobody who is not famous will ever truly believe that."

"Nobody ever thinks that something really bad is going to happen to them. Until it does."

... may he rest in peace 🩷
