Not even surname academic rivals, but not referring to them and them and everyone else knowing who you're referring to based on the scorn in your voice and the amount you roll your eyes

Her
When she kisses me the world disappears
My eyes close, my chest tightens
I forget about my all surrounding peers
And my smile brightens
When she pulls away I follow in a mindless state of bliss
My arms wrap around her pulling her closer
Her lips on mine are always something I miss
All her perfections I wish I could show her
But she needs time and I’m willing to give
And although it hurts that were now not together
And it feels as tho without her I will struggle to live
She says we’ll still be friends forever
When i see her my chest tightens
Her eyes a bright ocean blue
But now im only frightened
That I love her and she will no longer love me too.

Looking for mutuals
Hey! 👋🏻
I just recently got back on tumblr and am looking to make some mutuals and get back into the tumblr community because i missed it so much ✨
My pronouns are she/her 🪐
I’m 20 so i’m preferable looking for mutuals who are 18+ 🍄
My interests include;
English lit , I major in it alongside History. I love books and any form of spilled words or poetry as well as philosophy and interesting thoughts or feelings. I absolutely love to write too and I’m always looking for inspiration and writing ideas and advice.
I love music, in particular indie rock or alternative pop. My favourite artist at the moment is The Backseat Lovers <3. I can also play the violin and have a love for classical music too!
I love movies, I am a complete film nerd and I would consider myself both the best and worst person to watch a movie with lmao
I like to watch anime too, I haven’t watched a lot a lot of anime but i’ve dabbled in it a fair amount and really like it. Some examples of ones i’ve liked are Attack on Titan (obvs), the promised never land, puberty syndrome, jjk, chainsaw man, cyberpunk and some more I just can’t think of right now 🐸🐰
I also love playing on my nintendo switch and cosy gaming aesthetic. The games i’m currently enjoying are botw (no surprise), harvestella, omori, little nightmares
I am obsessed with digital art even though I don’t make any myself and I am a terrible artist I am in absolute envy of those who do digital art and I love consuming the content so much
If you are also interested in any of these topics or are interested in becoming mutuals then please give me a message 🐥🌻

His annotations are so !! ~homosexuality~

for the record this is about the character himself rather than the story as a whole, in case that makes a difference
Explain your thinking!

okay so i'm replaying doki doki literature club two years since my initial fixation (this time on the 3DS, it's an unofficial version but it's fuckin cool) and while the game often relies on shock value as well as incredibly triggering topics in order to tell its story, there's a lot to be said about the poetry in the first half. as an english lit student, this is basically making me itch to write an essay about the metaphorical resonanse of the poems and what it says about the girls, possible interpretations and its incredible use of forshadowing as well as form and style in order to make its point. might elaborate on this/ write an essay if i feel like it
