the greek squad be like
(suicide tw obviously) i just want to make it clear that quentin doesn’t have to actively try to physically harm himself to be engaging in suicidal behaviors and ideation???
quentin saying “break my bones, strangle me; i’m too tired to care”? that’s passively suicidal, y’all
quentin not giving one iota of a shit that alice says he’s going to die is suicidal
quentin not caring whether he lives or dies is suicidal
quentin pushing the monster as far as he can, knowing what it does to people who push it, is suicidal
the fact that he’s not actively seeking out buildings with easy rooftop access anymore doesn’t mean he wants to be alive right now, and he is very much not okay and somebody needs to do something about it
«everything repeats itself, as none of us are prepared to let go»
i am not. i am not prepared to let go.
i have finished the final season of dark an hour ago and now i’m sitting in my kitchen, eating chocolate pudding and crying my eyes out. i am so happy that i’ve had a chance to be a part of this journey. and what a journey it was! i was sad, i was happy, i was angry; i felt excited, i felt betrayed, i felt hopeful. i didn’t like every character. but i loved each and every one of them. they are different. they have unique stories. they make terrible mistakes. they learn and change. they feel incredibly human. i’ve been a part of this story since the first season came out, and letting it go seems very painful. starting watching every next episode felt like i’m making a step closer to some sort of weird emptiness. i’ve finished the last episode — what am i supposed to do with my life now?
the ending was so bittersweet. when jonas and martha realized that they are a glitch in the matrix, when they were erasing their own existence, it felt like losing a part of myself. they wanted to live. they wanted to be happy. they wanted for all of this to finally come to an end. and they had to pay a price. but, honestly, seeing everyone in the original world being so happy, seeng everything being exactly how it should be made me sob and shake. it felt like all of this was worth it. nothing is in vain.
i am not prepared to let go yet. but i think i will be. maybe, in 33 years.
waking up and being genuinely thrilled to go to class because today is THAT CLASS you love so much you’d like it to never end

We’re the ones who don’t belong.
when you first moved in with me, you got a new vase. i’ll buy you flowers and we’ll put them there, – you said. for two years it remained empty on the windowsill, covered with a coat of dust.
when you moved out, you left some things behind. the empty vase, a little toy your late mother bought for you when you were a kid, a mug i gifted you for your birthday. things of no importance.
i can see everything a little bit clearer now. you never cared for little things – not really.
i think i’m going to buy some flowers for myself.
