i hate that elain most likely thinks that lucien is some desperate male that she needs to avoid at all costs, as if it isn't glaringly obvious to most readers that lucien doesn't want the mating bond any more than she does. he's still trying to make it work because that's his gender role in regards to the bond and that's just who he is, but he's more than aware that elain doesn't want him and he doesn't want her beyond the force of the bond either. he feels like he's being forced into a romance that doesn't exist as much as she does. and no, i don't think elain owes anyone her kindness and time, but it's super inconvenient and hurtful to lucien when they're both dealing with the same issue, only lucien is under a stronger effect of the bond. he's having a harder time ignoring the bond than she is, and i bet he envies her for being able to get over it so easily. i bet all he wants is to be able to move on but he literally can't. i feel like a lot of criticisms of elain are rooted in outright misogyny, but if i have to be upset at her for anything, it's for not having a little compassion/understanding for someone going through the same problem as her (i fully expect her to have a thorough conversation to lucien about this in her book, though).
Bring them back! Bring back the loose, low cut shirts!
You see this outfit?
The loose, low cut shirt? Yeah, could you not wear that anymore?
Some of us can’t handle it
I feel stupid. I literally thought that the avatar was this picture of David Tennant.

Things that somehow still surprise people
1) I am not a guy
2) I am not American
3) that's Audrey Hepburn in my DP
4) ???
“You will not always be the smartest person in the room, and you will not always be the strongest or the funniest or the most talented. But you can always be brave and you can always be kind, and these are the things you should be every minute of every day for the rest of your life. Because yes, those other things, they’re great things. But these things are better.”

Well, this was a gif set that I didn't know I needed today.
Lucy Liu in Elementary season 6 episode 21 “Whatever Remains, However Improbable” (2018) dir. Christine Moore
How are people able to love each other romantically so much? How are they able to fall in love since they are in kindergarten? How are they able to find humans that they want to hold and touch and kiss on a regular basis and how they don't think about being somewhere else while doing so... How? How? How...
Is everyone just pretending? Is it that... at some point, you just stop looking? Is it that you settle? Is it that you stop hoping for a great love and you let it go? Do you love the people that you fall asleep next to? How does it look like? How does it feel like?
Is it just luck...
Are some people conditioned to want, to yearn, to wish with no place to release theyre heart? Is wanting really everything there is for some?
sometimes making tea is less about drinking it and more about desperately hoping to achieve the life of a ghibli character
i am so determined to fall more in love with life. intentionally romanticising the walks i am on, the birds chirping, the blooming nature around me, the water in my cup of tea turning from a light peach tone to a dark pink, the poetry i write, the things i am learning, my handwriting, dozing off while sitting in front of my window, all of it and more. I have to take a closer look at the little things that make my heart beat faster.

It currently rains so much in my country. Clouds do apparently think that it's quite a while from the last major floods and we need more water in our gardens and cellars and... hospitals... and schools... and retirement homes. Like what... Ok. Ok.
Well, I think I just found my perfect ending. Thank you.
HERE, PLEASE HAVE MY SOUL IN A TEN-PANEL COMIC
There’s a lot I could say about this… it’s the most rushed I have ever made a comic so there’s a lot of it that’s still wonky- crooked panels, rushed storyline, questionable dialogue, wonky references- but like, I fucking NEEDED this, okay, even if it’s only relevant for the next couple of hours before the new episode ruins us again. If anyone needs me, please forward all calls and tips directly to my grave.)
(Please have a heart and don’t repost. Ultra super duper special thanks always to @malmuses for your help:)
This is my reminder to make a photoshoot of this kind. God, I need my tripod. 🙏🙏
