#and HAPPINESS

[lotus--pond]

okay, listen, accidental unconsensual identity discovering aside, Ev's reaction to finding out that Aura wasn't using asking him about relationships as a convoluted way of confessing and was in fact talking about Asrickus was SO. FUNNY.

he's all like "am I not the eye candy of this planet??? what does Ricky have that I don't??? I need to up my game. wtf??? why him??? Is it because he's tall??? I'm tall??? not everyone can be ten and a half feet tall??? WHAT DOES HE HAVE THAT I DONT???'

meanwhile Ricky is out here "flirting" by accidentally saying things he meant to say in his head and accidentally sending Aura a heart because cc!Sherb is apparently just an avid platonic heart emoji user, and staring at star really queerly. That and having the quite literal biggest shoulder to cry on.

what does he have? yearning in his gaze. that's what he has.

You know, Imogen and Laudna accidentally getting married wasn’t something I expected for the finale, but it tracks. It tracks.

GIVE EVAN BUCKLEY A DOG

I remember when rushing touchdowns didn't count for Cam Newton but guess who they count for now? I remember when Jalen Hurts got all that flack for QB sneaks and tush pushes but guess who's praised for that now? I remember when Lamar Jackson was (still is) called a running backs after winning a unanimous MVP but guess who's running is praised? Everyday I'm reminded the whiteness will always be the standard for so many people, it's a primarily black/non white sport and that's still the case. They want what black quarterbacks have shown they can do but they don't want a black quarterback doing it.

Even the way that quarterbacks are seen in the team hierarchy is a remnant from the time where every single quarterback in the NFL was white and the only thing that a black player could be is a skilled position player or play on defense. That's why they said that black men didn't have the intelligence or capabilities or leadership skills to be quarterbacks. So many black boys were barred from playing quarterback for this reason and just because there's more now doesn't mean they're insulated from racism. Check on any social media and see how quick white NFL fans or non fans, I don't really care, are to call these quarterbacks all kinds of racial slurs and people want us to be okay with that? There is criticism and then there's just overt racism. I welcome criticism and discourse concerning the play level of all black quarterbacks but I don't let that obscure the dog whistles that sometimes lay in this discourse. So sure, talk about Lamar's struggles in the playoffs etc, the whole fanbase does and we root for him to do better and be better in those situations but don't say that the only reason he's good at playing action in games is because when he pulls the ball 'his skin is so dark that it obscures the football'. This is something a real play by playing announcer for the 49ers said and I'll never forget that. Ever. If you can't see how that's a crazy fucking thing to say then I don't know.

This whole MVP debate has brought out such an ugly side of so many people and I'm not even surprised. How can I be? Whatever the case, I'll continue rooting for every black quarterback (except Deshaun Watson) to do well in this league because so many people live to see them fail.

even more random collages i made that happen to have kpop boys in them (can you find where the kpop boy is on the teletubbies one ??)

if youre wondering which teletubbie i got on the blind box: its clown tinkiwinki !! (one of my top3 favs so i won), heres an edit i made of renjun holding him:

[quotesbutincorrect]

Stiles, carrying a box: What would you say if- if I, hypothetically, came home with 7 kittens one day?

Lydia: …

Lydia: What’s in the box?

Stiles: What woul-

Lydia: Stiles, what’s in the box?

Stiles: I think you know.

Headcanon that pio is subconsciously jealous of his younger twin bros idk but he doesn't think of it. Meanwhile tony and Arthur think they have the coolest big bro

I can see him being jealous only by the fact that they always have each other, whereas Pio was expected to be the other mature figure in their lives and never got time to be a kid.

I don't personally headcanon Arthur and Tony to be twins, but I do think the two are much closer in age and Pio has a much larger age gap.

I think the idea of "soul mates" has given people a truly ridiculous idea of how relationships work. Even if you don't believe there's a super-naturally predestined perfect match out there for you in the world, a lot of people think that there just is someone in the world that is their perfect match by default, then act hopeless because there's only a 0.0001% chance of them ever meeting, let alone dating.

Listen here you stupid bastard. That's not how that works. You don't find true love laying around on the ground. A perfect relationship doesn't come from perfectly matching together some aimlessly drifting puzzle pieces. You cabbage, you fucking fool. You build that kind of relationship with your own loving hands. You create the moments that bring you together yourselves. You build the trust, you give and receive the affection, you grow and change together. That's what matters. It's not some wild game of probability where you hope to bump into the right person who is just going to magically do everything right, and that you somehow also will magically be perfect for. You literally have to create that with them yourselves, by your own choices and actions.

Smug ass bitter people who think they're smarter than they actually are love to say "Oh these two people are perfect together huh? Out of all the billions of people in the world?". Yes you god damned dipshit, they are. Would you look at the Mona Lisa and mock Da Vinci, telling him that it's absurd to think he could have painted a masterpiece when there are so many other billions of canvasses and paints in the world? Of course not. Cowardly cynic, I spit on your face.

Anyway I love my girlfriend. I love her more and more each passing year, I'm going to marry her, I'm going to kiss her ten billion times and never get tired of it. Loving her rules, I wouldn't trade her for anything or anyone.

Now that I am FINALLY done with today’s studies (torture tbh, doing Trigonometry, Indices and Calculus), I am going to be focusing on my internal peace and therapy, i.e., reading James Potter x reader fics and ofc, Love Theoretically 🥹🫶🏻

sigh.

i keep thinking about plato's allegory of the cave. one of my favorite things. light and shadow and enlightenment and all that. because sure, there is certainly a state of enlightenment somewhere. but what would that state be? what defines light? what defines shadow? can they be defined? who are we to define either?

is it a state of morality? is it a state of happiness? i keep thinking about the life i want to live and how far away i am from it right now. how i both want to be successful and prominent but also run and hide and never worry about a thing again. it's like life and death. is that, too, a version of light and shadow?

i think plato treats the light, this world of enlightenment, like it is the ultimate good. i know many people think the same way, that there is one proper way to live a good life, a life of light. but there is a nuance to it, like there is to everything. light and dark are not opposites. light and dark are the extremes of a spectrum. do opposites even exist? that tunnel to the light plato speaks of is a gradient. what if i get stuck in the tunnel? what if i always was in the tunnel, looking down on the truly depraved but not worthy enough to be accepted? lonely on either end.

and neither side can pull me out of it. it is a tightrope i walk between the proper life people want of me and the lovely potential of a life i could live for myself. i say let people be happy where they are. you can turn someone's head toward the light, but plato, here is where you are wrong—not everyone chooses to walk toward it, even if you broke every shackle chaining them to the life they have, the life they know, or the life they want. and it is not your job to force them. it is not your duty to condemn them simply because you walk a higher plane of existence. i don't think the gods everyone speaks of do so. they welcome us with loving arms, do they not?

sometimes a preacher of the light is worse off than a lover of the dark. it's all perceived. there is no enlightenment. only a spectrum of greys.

whatever.

to anyone who has yet to watch the balance,

why do you rob yourself of happiness? you deserve to experience the joy and excitement that is this storyline.
