#like i hate the beach anyway but like..

this really covers an unfortunately all too real truth about connecticut and the obscene levels of racism and classism that still very, VERY much impact those of us living here. fuck this state and its false progressivism that won't even let people go to a fucking beach

Honestly my favorite thing to do in the summer is to buy some Ice Cream from Alex and give them to Penny, Jas and Vincent. Is just a little thing I do sometimes, I just think Penny deserves a treat for looking after the kids and teaching them and Jas & Vincent love Ice Cream so is a win-win!

emotionally spiritually physically metaphysically and ethically torn bc on one had i want ed and stede to be so possessive and jealous and to like, break whatever it is theyre holding from squeezing too hard if they see someone give the love of their life a pat on the arm that lingers just too long

on the OTHER hand. considering the many, many parallels between stede and izzy, i'm pretty sure the fact that izzy is bitterly jealous and possessive of his relationship with ed is meant to contrast how stede was willing to give ed's ex a chance and how he even let ed walk out out of his life when ed chose to leave with jack

like i know jealousy + possessiveness is actually a kinda shitty trait for your significant other to have and im pretty sure ofmd agrees with me on that. HOWEVER the gay drama of another one of ed's exes showing up and stede clenching his jaw so hard he bursts a blood vessel is so sexy to me

My anxiety and depression feel like the ocean. Even when I'm not drowning in it, I'm having to fight to swim and it's exhausting. Even when I'm not swimming in it, it's still there, waves greedily lapping at my feet. It's always there.

I don't talk about it because there isn't much to say. Everyone already knows the ocean exists, yknow? Telling them it does just seems redundant.

Even when I'm sitting safely on the shore I can't stop thinking about it, staring at it, swaying where I stand because I've forgotten what it feels like to stand without the waves. Just waiting for the tide to rise again because I know it has to. Waiting for the ocean to disappear even though I know it never could.

Song of the Day: February 5

"It's Electric" Diamond Head cover by Metallica

[elvenking42]

No one else talks about it but the guy who copyrighted the term "yooperlite" is the shittiest guy ever and hes at EVERY SINGLE gem and mineral show in the great lakes area. And not to fucking mention he ended up JACKING UP the prices on Lake Superior sodalite and he ripped off the patent on another guys UV light! He's selling worse blacklights for WAY more than most of the other people on the market. Like absolute shit guy. If you want to sell LAKE SUPERIOR SODALITE you can't sell it as YOOPERLITE because the name is copywritten. ALSO LIKE FUCK HIM FOR REAL!!!

Okay I've been thinking a little too much about Chappell Roan songs so here's a little angst AU based on the song Casual:

In middle school Kenneth died, giving Travis a few years of freedom to unpack his internalized homophobia.

By the end of HS Travis and Larry start to have a situationship, but Travis likes to think that it's more than that and that they'll be oficially together very soon because everything they do is so romantic, except he's always being kept as a secret.

And a few months afterwards they call it off 'cause Travis realises they'll never be more than that.

(Reason: Larry didn't have the courage to date someone that hurt his friends and brother so much in the past. Now, they obviously wouldn’t be buddy buddy w/ Travis immediately - except for Sal, he would immediately be best friends w/ him - but at this point they all know that he was just a very stuck up gay guy w/ an abusive pastor as a father, so they don't really hate him, especially since he hadn't really interacted w/ them since middle school).

Well, a few years later they move to a new city and guess who's there?? Travis. He's in college and works as a server.

Old feelings resurface and they're both pinning for each other but Travis is too hurt and bitter to give it a chance, Larry is very sorry and doing his best to woo him once again while being super jealous of Travis w/ his male friends who are very touchy (they want to see Larry sufer lol).

Anyways, because I love a good hurt/comfort they obviously would have a happy ending.

I'll never write this but maybe I'll draw something about it later.

Thinking about Erik snapping at Charles with “well maybe you should have fought harder for them” and the pain in his eyes when Charles told him they didn’t want the same things.

Listening to my shane playlist again totally not because I'm depressed and stressed but it made myself feel better cuz it's a kickass playlist if I do say so myself. So sharing here lol

[crescentmoonrider]

Yes, the saiyans are, almost always, named after Vegetables. It's so stupid. I love it. <- is refusing to do more research but is pretty sure that there's a lot of food naming in dragon ball, may be wrong to an extent otherwise

gonna make a saiyan-sona named Kumber who likes horses, summer, and setting stuff on fire

they feel weird about the human custom of Obon, for some reason

[wolfstrong]

I miss my grandmas house in the desert where it was always so hot and dry and we’d spend all day alternating between swimming in her pool and going into the back room to watch Cartoon Network and Disney Channel on the CRTV and eat ham sandwichs and Doritos and Dr. Pepper it’ll never be 2008 again 😭

[autistic-shaiapouf]

Realizing I just want enough money to be able to pretend I'm rich for a few days and that's really it

[ickypuppi3]

thought about billy

[guinevereslancelot]

what is it with me and spending stupid amounts of money on frivolous things every january 🤡

[snekdood]

me, on the one hand: its weird to gatekeep people identifying with characters just bc they don't share their same race

also me, upon watching a video of someone wanting the saiyans to be in ssj form 24/7: you just want them to be blonde with blue eyes all the time bc you're mad that otherwise you can't project on to them since they're likely asian 🙄
