Scars on your body show that you have lived; scars on your heart show that you have loved.

hello any ride the cyclone fans who still exist and know about Ezra/Legoland

Do you think Jane Doe, when they put the cape on her for the new birthday song felt a pang of familairty? Do you think she felt wrong with the cape because she wasn't the one who wore the cape... she doesn't know who does, though. Do you think Penny remembered it after?

Do you think the doll Jane has was Ezras? Maybe Penny had it in her bag, or was carrying it for him, or maybe it was a gift. Maybe he was there, or he left it on her grave, and it let her have a chance in the game because she has a head now? Do you think that's why she can be so many different dolls? Ezra has so many.

Do you think Ezra tried to tell them who she was? Do you think he begged everyone to listen, to hear his sisters name? That she was the girl who Attacked JK-47, she was on the news- There's a movie about her, why won't they listen, why is her grave unmarked, he knows who she is but they just Won't Listen to him.

“i can’t do this anymore” says a girl who is not only going to do it but do it well

sorry but i'm gonna be real for a second here

"i wish i lived in the 18th century/the past/ when jane austen was alive" is a stupid sentiment because there was literally so much bad shit in the past (racism, misogyny, sexism, more poverty, homophobia, etc.), and even not considering those extremities they had disadvantages like less medicine, less transport, less hygiene, slower communication, etc etc.

"oh but i don't mean any of the bad stuff, i just want to live in a cottage and wear fancy dress" ???? nobody is stopping you. just because more of our world is being modernised doesn't mean that all of it is. go to the countryside. i promise you there will be a cozy cottage for you to live in. there are fancy gowns for you to buy. you can write with a typewriter and send letters to your lover. nobody is stopping you.

"oh but it should be normalised. i wish more people did it!" why does it matter? if other people feel more comfortable texting (which is, in their defense, much faster) instead of sending a traditional letter then that's their business.

"art and poetry is dying" says the person who's only complaining about it and not actually doing anything to save it (not that it needs to be saved. there is art everywhere, even in science and maths. if you dare to say that art is fading then you're simply not looking hard enough. open your mind, go outside, travel the world. quick note: modern art is still art).

i completely understand the longing for a different and better life, but bro (and i am looking you in the eye and clasping your hands as i say this) the escapism you want is not found in the past. stop dwelling. look forward. wishing to be born in another life is a coward and a lazy person's desire. wishing to make this current life better is an artist's.

I feel like TJ Klune has really tapped into the boundless queer yearning to have love and sanctuary, and a funny little house.
