#causing the cycle to repeat

But who can afford to be curious these days?

Those lofty ideas are not for the poor

who simply must strive for survival.

The itch of curiosity belongs to the rich

whose parent's pocketbooks

can afford them the halls of higher learning.

It belongs to the ones who have moments to spare,

and the lavish extravagance

of not living in fear of the landlord.

Who can afford curiosity when the cost of living

out paces those who are living,

dragging them into a frantic fight to float?

Curiosity has always been for the privileged,

for those who don't know the bitter taste of desperation.

Curiosity is only for the rich,

and because of this,

we will all remain poor.

oh god oh GODDD im so excited for the comic strip scene to appear in fic bc bruce and petey’s hug is making my heart ACHE… specifically the way that the goober leans his WHOLE BODY into it and then bruce places a secure hand on his back and cradles the back of his head ough OUGHHH like that action is so like . yeah you sure are an uncle ben counterpart bc clearly you love this kid with everything you have and are giving him a guiding hand . but also but ALSO something about the movement is so … batman pulling robin under his cape … providing careful shelter to a kid who needs it so bad … like if im dick and i see my father figure and my kid caring for each other to the point of enacting change (bruce being emotionally intelligent and petey letting himself trust + be tactile) im sobbing and throwing up bc my heart is so full . like he cares he learned from his mistakes w me … and my baby who deserves everything gets to reap the benefits and soak up all that honest affection like AUGHHH its all worth it its all worth it

bruce makes me so emotional sometimes because the older he gets the more he learns from his mistakes and the more guilty he feels about his older children and trying to make up for it in every possible way,,, i PLAN for right after this conversation with peter and bruce, for dick to see it and bruce tug him into the hug and AGGHH they make me emotional. bruce was like "i can't get attached because peter has to go home" ans then proceeded to fail at not getting attached. but we all knew that would happen (look at his track record...)

doomed by the narrative doesn't just mean "being in a narrative". it means that whatever the character is written to do, the narrative in question, the story, makes it so that the result of their actions will be the same, usually negative or unfair. either a conscious choice from the writer, where there is an overarching curse or theme (you know, like greek tragedy?) that puts that character on a set path from the beginning, sometimes before they were even born, and they cannot stray from it no matter how hard they try or how many chances they might have had to free themselves. or a subconscious choice, where you can see that there could have been such a good story to tell about getting away from that narrative, but the author was too set on their initial decisions, or frankly not that good at writing plot, to see it; so there's a story that forces a character into such a path, full on wasted potential, and we could have done without that. and sometimes there's a mix, where say an author is too stuck on their own religious morality or other types of prejudices and makes up a narrative that dooms a character no matter what. it's intentional, and not in the sense of a good story. in the sense that the author couldn't even think past what they would morally condemn. it's a trope that often uses foreshadowing and makes use of narrative devices. it's generally intentional.

How Max Biaggi felt all the time and probably how most of the grid that ever shared the paddock with Vale felt at least once.

whatever this tingly toe sensory thing is is kind of funny paired with the hyperreflexia tho. I move my toes and all the sudden I’m karate kicking my aunt’s schnauzer off the recliner.

…Sorry little man. Accident, I promise 😅

making new friends irl is so nerve wracking but also so exciting. I remember how much I used to panic over sending my now best friend one text or randomly calling her and look how that turned out BUT also I've given wayy too much of myself to people who ended up not caring and hurting me and it's such a gamble to trust people but I really think it's worth it but why does EVERYTHING feel like such a big step and so scary like??? can we hang out when we're not in college? how often can I text you to hang out before it becomes too much?? can I say I love you?? can I give you a high five? can we hug?? AKFHDGDHHDDH I LIKE YOU SO MUCH. and I know you like me too but I've been known to come on way too strong and and and god I can't wait to get to know you even more. yeah I'm going insane. bye

@dcvium's song starter !

abilene shrugged , arms crossed over her chest as she regarded the other woman . it was difficult to trust district two and one of abilene's hands moved to rub the back of her neck . she could still feel his hands wrapped around it , and she looked away from nimue . it was a hard habit to break , always wondering when someone from two was going to decide to turn on you .

then again , what would nimue get out of all of this ? abilene had to trust her for this whole plot to work . . . even if her heart didn't quite fall in line with that thought yet . she shrugged again and chewed on the inside of her cheek . ❛ you're better than your father was . . . and where he came from , too . ❜

My math class makes me feel like Fernando. Every quiz day, I go in with the unwavering confidence of a blindfolded man running into traffic(I've only glanced at the material), and every time I receive the quiz paper, I look at it like I've never seen the content in my entire life, and bomb every single quiz. I cannot keep taking this L every week 😭
