Emerald Moth (Geometra papilionaria)

Even as you’re holding me close, I feel a pain, sharp as needles, dragging at me. I feel the life running out of me, as though my blood were being drawn.

The Vampire Lovers (1970) dir. Roy Ward Baker

Sometimes she thought she was in love with him, waking up in the morning and looking blankly at the ceiling, remembering suddenly that she knew him, remembering suddenly his face shining with affection for her because of some gesture of affection on her part, before her sleepy emptiness had time to fill up with the realization of what time it was, what day, what she had to do, the soldier substance that made up one’s life. But the feeling bore no resemblance to what she had read about love. Love was supposed to be a kind of blissful insanity.

Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt

Yoshitaka Amano: ベール (1993)

Okay I was thinking lately about the seemingly random sex scene in tlb right? But if you actually think about the deeper meaning of the movies and the fact the lost boys basically represented queerness and Star and Michael were rejecting that part of them, the scene where Michael asks what's wrong with him and then sleeps with Star makes so much more sense because they are both rejecting their own queerness.

Obviously this isn't worded the best but I'm y'all get my point and maybe explain it better

Japan's Akatsuki spacecraft, which has been orbiting Venus since 2015, has captured a remarkably clear image of the planet's atmosphere. This image was taken using its infrared camera, revealing detailed features of Venus' cloud structure and atmospheric dynamics

to me willow rosenberg is the epitome of a character who's used to thinking of herself as kind and good because she's always been percieved that way by other people, but when other people say "kind and good" what they really mean is "competent yet unassertive." which isn't really a moral value, it's just the kind of personality that makes authority figures like you. so she's in the precarious position of believing herself to be a Good Person while having never really felt the need to develop a moral backbone. and this is of course the main reason why she's a little fucked up sometimes. i love this about her, to be clear.
