Pining for my crush who is magical and possibly maybe even not queer, I have now come here to lament. This is not helping

Ideal relationship of a dark academic

Reading books together in front of a fireplace, sipping on hot tea as you lean into each others warmth

Gently holding hands as you walk through the streets, quietly telling eachother about your days

Painfully cheesy pickup lines

Wearing their jacket because they insist it will be warmer than yours, despite just wanting their jacket to smell like you

Wandering around the mall together, playfully arguing over whether you should go to Cinnabon

Going to book stores together and losing track of time

“When we move in together, we should have our own little library”

Beethoven playing gently in the background as you have your first kiss

“I got us tickets to that play you were talking about”

Getting so caught up in the relationship that you forget to tell anyone about it

Going to see old movies

The kind of love where you don’t have to say anything, being in each other’s presence is enough

“Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. (…) But, it first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.”

— Love in Translation by Lauren Collins from the New Yorker, August 8 & 15, 2016

The tumblr clue crew experience is seeing the same 5 posts 10 times in one afternoon and realizing each of those posts has like 30 notes total

Mr. Collins : Marry me, Elizabeth!

Elizabeth : Dude no-

Mr. Collins : I will wait for your answer

Elizabeth : My answer is-

Mr. Collins : It is not uncommon for women to reject the man because they want them to try harder next time

Elizabeth : I LITERALLY JUST SAID NO-

Mr. Collins : I will ask you again later

Elizabeth : You don't need to I just said no (and call me a delicate female again I will bitch slap your whiny ass)

Mr. Collins : Oh, you're so charming I know your parents will accept

Elizabeth : *flips the table*

being known is a mortifying ordeal not only bc it involves allowing someone to see the worst of you and hoping they will love you anyway but also bc it involves letting them see the best of you and hoping it actually means something to them

People horrifically fucking up facts about evolution and genetics too support their stupid beliefs or to seem smart and “rational” is probably one of my big pet peeves 

Remember when Marina and the Diamonds said : "I wish I wasn't such a narcissist

I wish I didn't really kiss the mirror when I’m on my own

Oh God, I’m gonna die alone

Adolescence didn’t make sense

A little loss of innocence

The ugly years of being a fool

Ain't youth meant to be beautiful?"

Yeah... I felt that. Really wish I were a teen idle

Do you ever have to suppress the urge to get up put on your nicest clothes apply dark lipstick cast a glance at yourself in the mirror then decidedly grab your purse and just go?

First you think you’re bright, spunky Lizzie Bennet waiting for your dark, brooding, sexy Mr Darcy.

Then you realize you’re insecure socially awkward disaster Mr Darcy waiting for the person who calls you out on your bullshit, sets healthy boundaries with you, and corrects their behavior when they realize they’ve treated you unfairly. In 2019, may you all find your Lizzie Bennet. 

When I first read Pride and Prejudice I was 14 and couldn't care less. Now, three years later I find myself completely engrossed in this book. I cannot believe my attachment to Lizzy and Mr Darcy. My overpowering interest in the novel does not cease to surprise me

You weren't born bisexual, you chose to read Pride & Prejudice and fell in love with both Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy

Oh the struggle of restraining yourself from falling for a straight girl..

Me: I don’t care about romance movies.

Also me, the moment To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: P.S. I Still Love You was released:

This is where I declare my love to "To All the Boys I Loved Before: PS. I still love you"

True eyeboner guys

All those times I fucked up saying my fast-food order come to haunt me at night

That bilingual feeling when someone asks you point-blank to translate a word you’ve heard about a thousand times and you suddenly forget every possible equivalent to said word (and also lose the ability to produce any coherent utterance as a whole)

but imagine being in your favorite foreign city, living in a cute, cozy apartment with a lovely view, working at a small bookstore, spending your time at beautiful cofffee shops and libraries, taking long walks, meeting new people that make you feel good, being yourself, finding true love and actually feeling good & fullfilled with your life

So I'm questioning myself again

I've identified as bi for three years now, but recently I've been very anxious because it feel like I made it up. I've had crushes on girls and I've fallen in love with a girl once, I wanted a real relationship with her. However I haven't fallen for a girl for so long, and now I realize that I am not that sexually attracted to girls whatsoever, so I feel like I'm just straight and just made that up. I don't even remember really realizing I was bi. I have felt some kind of sexual attraction to girls before,but not so much now. Now I feel almost convinced that I've been lying to myself and everybody all this time. Although I know that objectively it's not true, for I have in fact fallen for girls, but I have anxiety and my brain is breaking because of this confusion. I need to have a crush on a girl right now otherwise I'm gonna be confused forever

I think that identifying as queer suits me more, but like... Am I even that? Am I a stupid hetero girl who wanted to feel special? Or is it my anxiety messing with my head?

Ps. BUT IF IM STRAIGHT WHY DO I FEEL THESE FEELS TOWARDS OTHER WOMEN WTF

Jus' me and ma frieeeeends hanging out

A love letter to sex education creators

So Sex Ed 2 was so great and wonderful and emotional and RIGHT

I love how they make everyone a real person, without resorting to stereotype characters. They show humanity in every one of them.

I love how they don't give you what you want right away. This show makes its characters grow and change.

I love how they show friendship and family relationships in all their complexity.

I love how they give me emotions and feelings without crushing my heart

I love how they give proper sex and love advice without being all preachy or pushy.

I love how with all its raunchiness the show is so heartwarming and wholesome

This show entertained me and made me feel happy. So thank you, creators of the show

Ps. The whole love-triangle thing you're trying to push between Isaac, Maeve and Otis is soo stupid. Everybody deserves a real personality and a storyline, even Isaac, why make him a paper cut-out guy-that-hampers-the-love-story-but-is-eventually-discarded?
