Our youngest kitten is so funny, I overslept my alarm for a lecture so I was lying in bed moaning how I need to track someone down and get their notes, and kitten was worried about the noise so he came up to me and started doing biscuits on my belly.

Now I have plenty of dough to make biscuits with, so I didn't mind, but I also hadn't eaten breakfast and my stomach started making sounds.

The sheer ALARM on this poor baby's face. Eyes wide, ears pinned back, looking at me in horror. Then he starts kneading faster. Ofc, my stomach and intestine start doing more noises. Kitten is distressed! Horrified! He probably thinks I'm dying and his tiny CPR is the only thing keeping me alive.

Eventually I can't keep my laughter in anymore so I get up and my stomach stops and this BABY starts meowing and cuddling up to me like he really did save my life and was overjoyed I made it by the skin of my teeth.

And then I got up and he went over to his food bowl and started meowing twice as hard.

as you sit on the rooftop of your small loft apartment, head in your boyfriend's lap as he smokes a cigarette, your life feels complete.

minghao softly strokes your hair, thin fingers running races on your scalp as you smile into his clothed thigh. he hums a song, a song you can't recognize, and your heart seems to slow in your chest as you think back.

you think of the first time minghao and you had met—you were a little kindergartner in a class different from minghao, being paired up to be partners for a tea-making project. you had screwed the brewing process, and minghao had yelled at you, bringing you to tears before sheepishly apologizing and helping you try again.

from that moment on you and minghao became the best of friends. wherever minghao went, you went—the two of you had become attached to each other, and slowly, that attachment became attraction.

you started to see the skinny, quiet art kid finally mature into the man he was now—lean, creative, still with a tint of quietness to his nature. seeing minghao in a light that wasn't your best friend was hard, but you eventually came to accept it and told him how you felt.

minghao had felt the same way—he always had, and the two of you started to date the night after he expressed his love for you.

even now, the memory seemed so far away as minghao pressed a kiss to your forehead, warm breath fanning over your face as he smiles down at you.

"what's got you smiling like that?" he asks with a soft tease. minghao was never one for real teasing, but he thought it was so cute when you got shy.

"thinking about you, hao. thinking about how we met and stuff," you let your fingertips go to the sky, seemingly brushing the stars as you stare up at minghao. his dark eyes are focused on you, so in love that his cigarette starts to wither away in the wind.

"i'm very glad that you absolutely butchered the tea boiling process. without that massive blunder, i don't think we would have ever met." minghao's practically reading your mind at this point, eyes meeting yours as he presses a kiss to your cheek."

"that's true....just..." you pause, and minghao carefully places a kiss close to your upper lip, almost locking lips with yours as he smiles, cutting off your sentence as you chuckle.

"just very embarrassing." you finish, cheeks a bright red as minghao chuckles lowly.

the cigarette smoke coming from minghao's soft lips taste like dreams, past moments that you had just lived through your head. it was singing yet familiar, tasting of a life you had once lived.

"embarassing? absolutely. cute? ...absolutely" minghao laughs again, smile lines highlighted on his soft skin as you sit up. your body gently nudges minghao's more sturdy form, and he chuckles at you, watching your eyes sparkle as you stare up at the stars once more.

"you taste like strawberries." you say after a beat of silence, and minghao stares at you, features softening. "do i?"

"mhm." you nod quietly, too overwhelmed with the feeling of the past to look minghao in the eye. it's not that you're sad or hurt because of the past you shared with minghao—in fact, it made you who you were today.

you just wish you could go back to that time: a simpler time that held nothing but whispered dreams and soft embraces. a time when you and minghao were just kids, the only worries being what would be for snack time and what you'd do on the weekends.

"strawberries and cigarettes," you whisper bitterly after a few more seconds of quietness, and minghao doesn't reply to that, taking your hand in his as he lets you lean your head on his shoulder.

minghao tastes the longing for a simpler time in your voice, and suddenly he can feel it too, taking another cigarette in his nimble fingers as he twirls it around, heart clenching at the sight of you.

"times like those....they were irreplaceable, hao." your voice cracks at the nickname, and before you know it, tears are gathering at the corners of your eyes.

"they were, baby," even minghao lets a sigh escape from his full lips, shoulders falling a little as he looks out on the horizon.

for the first time, minghao throws the cigarette away.

The thing that could always bring gladness Will now surely always bring sadness. Four men in black dress Laid their brother to rest. Liam’s gone? What the fuck is this madness?

Notice how despite the Doctor's non human Time Lord background and the non 21st century time period they still recognise bigotry as bigotry and have no issue calling it out

The Doctor knows about ableism, misogyny, classism, homophobia and more yet there's 1 specific thing the show and fandom don't want him to acknowledge and this is why I said in Flop and Bubble that there is a hierarchy of identity here.

And this is why I was groaning and blocking everyone writing clapped posts in my mentions about how the Doctor can't do anything about racism bc antiblackness is *always* the exception and the bigotry u lot find acceptable. And you'll never admit it. But it is.

And this isn't to say antiblackness is more important then everything else but that if all our struggles interconnect, u can never not acknowledge it. What are Black disabled people, Black women, Black queer people & more supposed to do when your support of us is selective?

i like beyond a stupid amount. he's a manga nerd but notably not a manga purist. he dedicates all of his screentime to surreptitiously making fun of L which does not get across to naomi at all because she doesn't know what L is like in the first place. he practices how to laugh. he wakes up saying the most dramatic thing possible. he attacks naomi with a bag of sand. he has lairs all over the globe and steals cars with ease. he was charismatic enough to be hired by three families to investigate their relatives' deaths. the only thing that makes him happy is the thought of surpassing L. he probably doesn't even like sugar

I was watching 15th season of Supernatural and I turned it off.

(No sound = No spoilers)

I can’t look at this!

I don’t want it to end!

I watched the whole show in 1 month, but it has been already 3 days since I started season 15 and I’m only on episode 11.

I DO NOT WANT THIS TO END!

Jensen Ackles you make me suffer. Misha Collins you too!

Both of them are amazing actors. That episode (ep.9 THE TRAP) made me feel everything towards Dean. Hate, Frustration, Love, Sympathy, Anger, Sadness and lastly Relief that he finally admitted what he couldn’t (that’s what’s happening in the video).

Again I’m not spoiling anything, but if the ending will not satisfy me, I will throw the biggest tantrum!

Someone help me survive this…
