#dreaming away your life

Maybe, she kept thinking, when she came back from one of those other worlds, when she woke up from book dreaming, she would come back to a world where her mother wasn't dead. She hadn't.

I’m happy for the little life I built for myself

#there’s a lot of ways to go #i am nowhere NEAR the dream life I really want to attain #or the dream person I want to be #but high school me #hell even freshman in college me #would GAWK at the life I have so deliberately made happen. #the solid network of friends I have #the confidence I’m slowly but surely growing into #the discipline I’m harvesting bit by bit. i do not claim perfection but I am 100% improving #I’m just happy idk! i don’t compare myself at all now bc I know I’m on the right track #especially compared to where I was like 5 years ago. such a different mind state from now #and no one can take that away from me #there’s a lot more to go. a lot more. but I thought I’d pause and be intentionally grateful for what has been accomplished #bc it actually puts things into perspective to look at the past rather than just look to the present. it creates contentment #i get so caught up being hard on myself for not accomplishing certain things yet #that I forget I pulled myself out of such a deep rut by the skin of my teeth #and that’s important to keep in mind even as you progress to your goals #anyway <333 happy content in my own lane etc etc #p

We’re going to go run off to school together and live happily ever after!’’ #and ya know what #they did #rhink #rhett and link #gmmore 2539 #idk there was something about their tone that really made this #also link playing with his ring

there are so many accidentally gay shows made by and for straight people but red dwarf is really on a whole nother level

#red dwarf #fellas is it gay to spend your entire life with three men and no other company #to share rooms even though you live in a ship the size of a city and vocally fucking hate each others mannerisms #to make clothing with embroidered caricatures of your three space buds and wear it around them #to play strip poker with the guys just for fun #to call each other silly little nicknames at every given opportunity #to say your mpreg roommate should name his baby after you #to dream about doing elaborate song and dance routines together in sparkly little outfits #or snogging the mate you claim to hate while the woman you think is your soulmate is literally two doors away #fellas is it gay for your ultimate despair universe of misery to make you and your bestest ever pal brothers for some reason #fellas what does it say that i could just keep going if i wanted

My current favourite crackship that I just created myself is Hiyori×Alive!Kuina. Just because if she can't get Zoro she'll just go for his cousin instead.

You're a genius. Your brain is huge. Please, let me kiss your brain. This is just amazing. I love lesbians. You're SO real-

Hiyori is easily one of my favorite characters and I love her SO much and people won't stop reducing her to her ship with Zoro. I think she doesn't need anybody and if she did want somebody it should be a girl. Because I say so. And Kuina is just,,, She would've been such a great character. Can't stop thinking about this fanart I found because it has changed my life for the better. She's in Wano to train to become the world's greatest swordsman and I'm just thinking about what if Kuina had been there to help them out too and she had been the one to save Hiyori all those times instead of Zoro.... Thinking thoughts. Like, of course, Hiyori and Zoro also have their moments because I do actually like their dynamic and I think she admires him a lot!! But you know. Kuina saves Hiyori a couple of times (when Zoro was going to do it, actually, she just appears like a second before him and ruins his moment) and Hiyori just melts. Because who wouldn't? Kuina would be so tall and strong and a sizeable woman, and I would personally die if she helped me save my country. Besides, I think they'd understand each other because both are women that have been reduced to that role specifically instead of their ambitions and their power and they're so much more. Hiyori was helpless when she had to see her country turn into this mess and she couldn't so anything else but to pretend,, Like-- If somebody knows how being a woman in the world works is Hiyori, and Kuina would understand. She'd admire Kuina so much for her abilities and her personality and ambitions!!!!!! And Kuina would absolutely love Hiyori's kindness and strength for being able to put up with so much!!!

Not to mention that Kuina would be taller than her,,, And bigger,,, And Hiyori would have to look up,, And this is now just the aesthetic part but God they'd look so different. That's Hiyori's guard dog. Wouldn't it be funny if Kuina were all serious and teasing with Zoro and like "*raises eyebrow* seriously?" type of masc girl, and the second Hiyori is around she turns into the happiest person in the world and extremely protective of her? Zoro judges her but he can't say shit because he's literally the same with Luffy (and Kuina teases him even more because she always has the upper hand and it makes him so angry). They're both down bad. Hiyori is just so nice to her and keeps saying she trusts her to become the world's greatest swordsman but even if she doesn't, she'll always have her heart and a place to stay in Wano. And I am weak, guys, I am so weak for lesbians.

Aghhh this is SO good. Somebody make them kiss. I- This is great. Oda could just say "ah yes Kuina actually escaped her hometown on her own and faked her death and traveled to Wano" and I'd believe him wholeheartedly because I want her back. I also want Hiyori back. I miss Wano sometimes a lot.

Also, Kuina sees Zoro with Enma and she goes:

Kuina: Oh cool, you got Hiyori's sword. Good luck with that one. Zoro: Do you want it or what? I am not giving it to you. You'll have to fight for it. Kuina: Nah, when I win our fight I want to win against the king of hell. Nothing less. Zoro: Where's the 'I can't win I'm a girl' bullshit now? Kuina: Stayed with the girl. Now I am a woman and I am going to beat your ass.

And Hiyori looking at them having the biggest lesbian moment in the world kicking her feet and blushing and Momo is next to her like "hehe you have a crush-" and he doesn't get to finish what he was saying because Hiyori hits him so fucking hard he faints. Don't tease her. Poor girl. She's in love, leave her alone.

#please i know i am the first one to explain the meaning behind kuina's death but the way op treats women is just not it and i want her again #also hiyori is the love of my life she's precious to me idc she's my princess i am in love with her #i thought this post would be only about a silly crackship but they're actually consuming my brain oh my god #and when kuina has to go away from wano because she has to go achieve her dream and she goes 'i don't expect you to wait for me but-' #and hiyori just holds her hands and says 'my mother waited. i've waited. and i will keep doing it as long as you come back to me' #or something like that. and i want to cry- #i am vibrating in my fucking chair god please i love them now i need more of them so fucking bad #one piece #kozuki hiyori #shimotsuki kuina #hiyoku??? kuiyori??? #i have no idea what to call this ship tumblr do your thing somebody should choose the name for me i suck at this thing #roronoa zoro #zolu #bc zolu mention there and in my head it's a very common topic between kuina and zoro okay she won't stop teasing him about it #+

day 2381364 of thanking nora that aftg isn't set in fucking highschool

#i woke up in a cold sweat today to make this post #idk why i thought of this lol the dream i was having wasn't even related to aftg #but still i am so grateful #it could have been. people would've gotten away with it too #it would've gotten a show with 30 year old actors #imagine living your life so seriously doing hardcore drugs and therapy and playing a sport because your while existence depended on it #in fucking highschool #jesus #anyway #all for the game #aftg #aftg shitpost #tfc #the foxes #blue's bs

#this.discussion between them is one of my favorites #this and that exchange a while earlier where vash talks ab gunsmokes reliance on plants being a consequence of the big fall #and a necessary facet of survival for the ppl who live here despite how utterly awful an experience it is #for the both of them.the plants being used and the people forced by circumstance to use them until death ykyk #and i especially like.how vash is just so . baffled by the idea that knives somehow sees his ideology as this naive dream #as opposed 2 a reaction from the anger hes been harboring for SOO long. we SAWW it we saw how he reacted on the ship #we see it in the way he struggles 2 navigate life among ppl and how his body bears the scars of his pain and frustrations #his anger is sooo.Good. and formative.and wholly vash that i cannot imagine him without it #he never forgot teslas death / never will .and it motivates him just as much as rem's sacrifice n so on. #'ever since that day we've been mad' ....... prbably one of the best lines ive taken away #hashtag shinobu's 'yes im angry..ive always Been angry' monologue #i love how he includes knives in that anger too. its not just youre angry or im angry. its that We've been angry. Ever since that day. #going2 throw UPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #and the way knives reacts 2 it too.using it to cement his grief and decision that if we had to suffer than its only fair they should too #fairness.and when he talks ab making it equal...giving whats been taken..always an interesting concept to use in a vengeful sense from the #more sensitive brother. i love it.LUVE ITTT #trigun spoilers #vash #knives trigun #trigun maximum #trigun #millions knives

priest: i don't, ah, quite know what to say to you. if you are in such terrible danger, why are you taking it all so calmly? constantine: hmh! i dunno, father. i had a bloke beaten to a pulp earlier this evening. that sound calm to you? priest: you did what...? constantine: i must've been off me bleedin' rocker. i've never done anything like it before in me life, y'know?

constantine: but there's header gets his guts blown out, and george is stickin' his head in the noose, and helen gets ... jesus, then friggin' sarah bites me head off — ! everything's coming to bits in me hands and it's so easy to just see red and now, shit, they could've killed the tosser for all i know! and now i'm just like the bastards i've hated all me life! kill him! fire him! close them down! piss all over him! screw you, i can do whatever i want! i so much as blink and you're dead, pal! i'm in charge!! ...

constantine: 'scuse me, father. i'm always like this when i don't get me own way. — hellblazer #81, "rake at the gates of hell pt. 4"

babygirl you are just....so, sooooo offputting. (and grieving, and guilty, and terrified, but yeah: offputting.)

anyway, it's issues like this one that remind me why i kind of hesitate over some of the retcons in the recent spurrier runs, like the one with him now having opened dream's pouch of sand and stolen some before they even met. because like, it's easy enough to look at john constantine now — with 70 years of worst possible choices and unresolved trauma crystallizing underneath his skin to cover up all the soft, hopeful bits where he's used to getting hit — and assign him arbiter of ill intentions, magus of wasted potential, saint of shit choices, but man . . . he was new to this, once. he was still new to this 80 issues in.

80 issues in, and he's not used to losing friends yet; he even has time enough between catastrophes to grieve each individual one. still has enough left to live for at this stage to necessitate running and hiding, instead of bodily throwing himself at the problem like he learns to later, or sitting apathetically by to do nothing except smoke and watch the world fall apart when he finally gives up. fuck, he still apologizes.

and you're telling me this guy, this soppy wet cat motherfucker hiding from the devil in a church basement, so guilty over not knowing what happened to the guy that he paid people (paid chas, so chas could pay people) to attack that the bottle he's holding in this scene isn't even his second or third........this guy's past, more innocent self lied right to the face of DREAM OF THE ENDLESS and got away with it?

hm. i just don't know about all that.

#also this is where my headcanons tag is from <3 #( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #( visage. ) AND I'M A BASTARD. #( character study. ) A WALKING PLAGUE OF A MAN. #sometimes i just think that. people really like to reduce constantine down to one or two things #and somehow. after 250 issues of putting his life on the line bc he could never really make himself look away from people suffering #the soft sullen guilty person who wants so fucking desperately to be a better man? is never one of those two things #idk man. i think about this issue all the time #if i put these pages side-by-side with his grief in hellblazer 2? with his grief in hellblazer 213? 215? during the empathy virus arc? #it becomes CRYSTAL clear that the guy we know at the end of hellblazer isn't someone the guy who sat vigil for gary lester would recognize #in fact i think he's someone that hellblazer 81 constantine would fucking Hate #ANYway yeah. i don't think he lied to dream about the pouch. i don't think he ever got it open. i don't think that's canon for me #i want him to fucking Earn his asshole nature. the hard way. by making All The Wrong Choices that it took to get him there #he paved that road with good intentions himself but. he also used to remember the ones he started with #idk if i'm making sense but i have had this panel open on my laptop for Two Months now #bc i can never stop thinking about how fucking crushed he is here to realize that he might be exactly as bad a man as sarah said he was #and how little it will surprise him later on to learn that he is Easily capable of So Much Fuckin Worse #and with that your honor the defense rests. our evidence? just. just Look at this fuckin guy #scopophobia / #scopophobia #eye contact / #eye contact tw

paro) more under cut

"I entrust this body to you"

"I will see to you"

i don't think these two of all people should suffer but occasional tragedy is fine right?

anyway, I'm focusing more on the "forsaken by the world" part,, please read the song lyrics i think it's a good idea for angst. I ofcourse don't condone necrophile obviously (lol)

#reikao #rei sakuma #kaoru hakaze #this is the 3rd time i do necro no hanayome paro I'm so normal about this song... #no please don't keep your dead lover's body please #I've been away at grandma's #i went fishing.. and caught some prawns.. and i got to have fresh laid eggs too.. life could be dream! if you can do these u shud lol #ensemble stars #あんスタ

why do Jehovah's witnesses keep showing up at my house? two weekends in a row???

#you stupid motherfuckers!! #i was having a good ass dream! why the fuck are you here TwT #even if you were to show up every weekend for the rest of my life i would not ever follow you back to your cult! go away! #fuck maybe we need to get a sign that says SATAN WORSHIPPERS INSIDE or smth #damn #the worst part was being WOKEN from my DREAM #it was so good and now i have no idea what it was :((( #diaerie

can't sleep just thinking about an au where the mc died during the murphy incident but specifically, Rebecca having to deal with history repeating itself as she has to tell another child why their dad won't be coming home tonight :))

#the mc with a kid is such a fun plot point to play around with #anyways rip karthik - you truly ended up becoming just like ya father in the end #asdfghjdjdkd #but also thinking like Rebecca probs be much more closed off - shutting away family. #since it happened twice - doubt she would want Meera anywhere near the supernatural /agency life #since she is quite young - perhaps memory erasure was an option #Rebecca just ends up giving Meera to Karthiks grandparents #out of town too #but over time and very slowly small bits of memories comes back to her #like in weird dreams that she cant understand #that and Meeras own discovery of what she really is #cant escape something thats in your blood after all..
