The worst thing a person can do to you after they’ve hurt you is let you live.

That’s how you truly and unmistakably destroy another human being.

I say this with some authority on the matter. ... People will always be drawn to the idea of someone succeeding and becoming something truly glorious after they’ve been ravaged, defiled, very nearly obliterated. But I can assure you there’s nothing magnificent or outstanding about it.

It is no rare, distinguished gift to survive tragedy, disaster, misfortune. ... There’s nothing glorious or wonderful about being a survivor. Those that like to hurt other people know this for a fact. ...

I've learned if you truly want to hurt someone, let them live.

— This Skin Was Once Mine, Eric LaRoca

Just stopped by my local library and I am a sucker for short stories so I picked it up to check it out and lo and behold! Look at that cover! So I kinda smirked and then my eyes Fell on the book on the shelf directly below it and my dears, I took it as a sign. The brainrot is definitely real, but that's not a bad thing.

#good omens #good omens brainrot #Aziraphale #crowley #is this a sign #the jackets sound interesting too btw #this skin was once mine #Queens of London #eric larocca #Heather Webb #libraries rock #linebaugh library rocks #i miss the murals tho

Whip stitch, my beloved

#ghost posts #duh nuhnuh nuh nuh you must whip it #currently fixing my pillow cases since every time I move them at this point another seam rips #one of them has a hole that I can put my arm through #but ghostie why don’t you just buy a new pillowcase?#because mine have been forged in the softness of the dryer for 10 years next question #it takes less work for me to fix them than it does to find one that doesn’t make my skin crawl #I’ve been fixing my bedding for years #my stitchwork isn’t pretty but it suffices #i do need to buy some embriodery thread though you do NOT want to darn w thin thread oh my gosh #took me two hours to fix a single hole once

"I don’t think home exists when you grow up. It’s something you lose and forget about. Like an old pair of shoes or baby teeth. Home is—something you outgrow.”

For those wondering what happened after my Arlejean rant from like last year. Mental illness took over. I am cooking.

#genshin impact #jean gunnhildr #arlecchino #ship chart #artists on tumblr #bc i drew both of their little profiles #the ship chart isnt mine tho #but OMG IM SO INSANE ABOUT THEM #i am FULLY on board with Arlecchino falling first but not doing anything about it because of the consequences for both of them #but then Jean falls harder and confesses oops #also #bloody sweaty intense duels just for the fun of it #i have a post-duel drabble i might post bc im soooo normal about them #ok last headcanon for the tags but Arlecchino calling Jean “darling” to get under her skin until she realizes that she actually means it #she gaslights herself and keeps calling her that anyways but Jean knows smths different bc Arle's voice is softer when she says it to her #RAAAAHHH I LOVE ENEMIES TO LOVERS FORBIDDEN ROMANCE #please stay with me on this guys trust this is gonna be top ship on AO3 once I get outta school #1 million billion works gang

people are so pretty. i find that everyone is, when i actually take a second to look at them.

#abel.txt #someone once asked if i had a staring problem and i got so nervous i blurted out 'sorry you just look really pretty'#people watching is sort of weird hobby of mine #love looking at people's hair and eyes and skin and colour coordinated outfits and the way they walk and smile and laugh #i find literally everyone on some level attractive

That ace vibe of "I know this person is incredibly attractive, but they're also saying something interesting could you please stop screaming I want to hear what they're saying."
