These lines from “loml” physically hurt 😭

She was ready to marry this man and have his kids and almost had it all. 💔

They’re the dancing phantoms on the terrace.

I feel like I’ve been stabbed straight in the heart lmfao.

That earthquake scared the shit out of me. 😂 The animals fled under the couch and my desk started shaking.

#or getting excited every time it snows so you can show off the four wheel drive #I love my Subaru forester #originally I was like ‘I’m gonna buy a small car as a first time buyer’ #and then I went and bought myself an SUV like a true American 🇺🇸 lmfao #the forester is a compact SUV but still 😂

So…I started reading A Court of Thorns and Roses. TikTok made me buy it, and I was determined to find out what all of the hype is about.

Over the course of just a few hours, I’ve already read half of the book and decided to order the rest of the series from Target.

I am happy to live in a world in which we can shamelessly read faerie smut. 😏😂

Have you guys seen the viral videos of the woman on TikTok who’s reading the Harry Potter books and watching the movies for the very first time? She’s on Prisoner of Azkaban now and said at one point, “I don’t know how to feel about Snape.” And everyone’s losing their minds in the comments and screaming “DON’T TELL HER!” 😂

I wish I could experience the emotional rollercoaster of reading the series for the first time again. If she was shocked about the plot twist involving Scabbers just wait until she gets to the Half Blood Prince.

the way i see it, alfred is both the black sheep of his family and the crown prince in arthur's eyes. the disgraceful wretched lad and the golden boy. the son who scorned lord father's ""generosity"" and who remade himself the most in his image (empire, naval power and hegemon, in both the atlantic and the pacific). arthur has no problem seeing it that way. his greatest disappointment and his greatest hope. the one who will help bring down the curtain on the formal british empire, but the one who will also help british imperial power and relevance endure in the postwar afterlife. alfred once said there was noone he hated more than his father, alfred vows he will be nothing like the corrupt old world that arthur springs from, that he is a genuine idealist who sees a better world to be made ahead but—what is pax americana, but the progeny of the british empire? even when clad in noble-sounding goals and american charisma, what is that but the same ruthless ambition that arthur sees, in the sea-blue of alfred's eyes? arthur knows it, everyone else knows it. alfred has his father's hands. he is his father's son.

i love when pets huff or sigh dramatically. like i am sorry. you're so right. you live such a laborious life. it must be so difficult to take naps and get pet and fed treats and played with all day. really a packed schedule youve got there boss. how do you manage it all. well no matter i'd say it's time for your well earned 7th afternoon nap

#my chihuahua is so dramatic and huffs all the time 😂

adult life is crazy because you can be going through the most devastating and heartbreaking things while still having to go to work and do the laundry and grocery shopping

tag the lyrics that will forever live in your head rent free

#the autumn chill that wakes me up #you loved the amber skies so much #long limbs and frozen swims #you’d always go past where our feet could touch #and I complained the whole way there #the car ride back and up the stairs #I should’ve asked you questions #I should’ve asked you how to be #asked you to write it down for me #should’ve kept every grocery store receipt #‘cause every scrap of you would be taken from me #🥲💔

I didn’t realize the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center is happening tonight until I saw all of the police barricades. I never stick around for that because I prefer to go home to my warm bed after work (it’s freezing today).

But here are pics I took of the unlit tree this morning. 😂
