( get to know me ) favourite relationship ⇨ theo decker & boris pavlikovsky
❝ It was just about drowsy air-conditioned afternoons, lazy and drunk, blinds closed against the glare, empty sugar packets and dried-up orange peels strewn on the carpet, Dear Prudence from the White Album (which Boris adored) or else the same mournful old Radiohead over and over:
For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself…
The glue we sniffed came on with a dark, mechanical roar, like the windy rush of propellers: engines on! We fell back on the bed into darkness, like sky divers tumbling backwards out of a plane, although — that high, that far gone — you had to be careful with the bag over your face or else you were picking dried blobs of glue out of your hair and off the end of your nose when you came to. Exhausted sleep, spine to spine in dirty sheets that smelled of cigarette ash and dog, Popchik belly-up and snoring, subliminal whispers in the air blowing from the wall vents if you listened hard enough. Whole months passed where the wind never stopped, blown sand rattling against the windows, the surface of the swimming pool wrinkled and sinister-looking. Strong tea in the mornings, stolen chocolate, Boris yanking my hair by the handful and kicking me in the ribs. Wake Up, Potter. Rise and Shine. ❞

teruel-a-witch replied to your post “So i was going through Agent Carter tag, and one thought comes to mind…”
THIS,I too feel invisible sometimes because the Russians are only ever mafia,spies,hitmen/thugs or hookers,not to mention they refer to all ethnicities from former USSR as ‘Russians’ as if it’s a blanket word which it isn’t.
Yes, when Russia comes up in western media portrayals, I get the urge to tear my hair out. Because it’s precisely what you’ve counted: mafia, spies, hitmen, hookers, thugs; let’s not forget old cars, weird accents and certain lack of civility. Nobody mentions art, literature, ballet, music, architecture - to name just a few things.
Same goes for characters from Balkans countries - only we don’t get hookers. Women from Balkans don’t exist. It’s almost exclusively bearded men who know none or very little English and aren’t even savvy bad guys at that.
I’ll never forget what BBC Sherlock did in their season 3 - they had “Serbian soldiers” chasing after Sherlock, speaking the kind of Serbian I couldn’t identify as Serbian (and I understand and can speak it). Plus Mark Gatiss hismelf tried his hand speaking Serbian in one scene as Mycroft Holmes, claiming he learned it in coupe of hours because it’s similar to Russian.
Massive fail, Mark. I couldn’t even identify what the heck the language you were speaking should be, and I can recognize all languages and dialects from former Yugoslavia.
So, I’m wondering if I should boycott all entertainment because all I can hope for is negative, gross and inaccurate representation? And who the fuck cares about this? Where are those social justice warriors who will speak about this issue? Am I, or you, less important than people of color for example?

Henry kissed Camilla again. “I love you,” he said. Then he said, out loud: “Come in.”
The door flew open. Henry raised the arm with the gun.
…but then I heard Camilla scream, “No, Henry!” and, too late, I realized what he was going to do.

There is not a man or woman, no matter how fit he or she may be, who is capable of carrying the entire world on their shoulders.
Steve was.

This app tells you your personality by looking at your Tumblr account. You should really check it out. This is my result:
ENFP PERSONALITY
The ENFP personality is a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike Explorers, they are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd.

Spanish has a variety in swearing and a flexibility that I miss in English
I mean yeah sure you can say ”fuck you asshole” to that driver who just cut you but isn’t that a bit lacking in spice when you can lower your window and shout I SHIT ON YOUR DEAD ANCESTORS YOU MALE GOAT SON OF A WHORE (me cago en tus muertos cabrón hijo de puta)
