I Think The Sweetest Thing Someones Ever Done For Me Is When My Ex Wrote Me A Letter For Christmas And

renaissance in the 21st century

confession: i was a theatre kid but thankfully my mum put a stop to it and also the ~anxiety~

Why does Henry Cavill take all his selfies like that ???

i have finally fallen back in love with reading again after like a 2 year reading drought

i know i can't argue with reality here but it's devastatingly unromantic that blood transfusions only work if you have compatible blood types

finished They Both Die At The End today in less than 4 hours and biiiiitch it was so good but so sad at the same tims

How to make a book yours

put your name as well as the place and date you got it on the first page

if it’s a gift - ask the person who got it for you to write a few words on the first page

carry it in your purse wherever you go, until the edges are worn and the pages stained with tea and raindrops

put on lipstick and kiss a page - the first page, or your favourite page, whichever feels right

underline quotes you love, take notes in the columns

dog-ear your favourite pages or use sticky notes to mark them

spray it with the perfume you wore while reading it - scent is one of our most potent senses and this will link the book in a specific time period of your life (might affect your other books though, so be careful and don’t spray the cover)

write down your impressions on the last few pages right after finishing the book

use a piece of paper with some significance as a bookmark and leave it in the book - I like to use art postcards I get from museum’s shops

Oh I really do enjoy how the 2020s are shaping up to be a lot like the 1920s. You get a generation of lost kids that grew up during a war. They reject their parents conservative attitudes. The youth has created a resurgence of Dadaism and Nihilism that the older generations don’t understand. An artistic boom replacing the materialistic tendencies of our parents. The queer community is thriving in a way that it hasent been in years. Activism and socialist ideologies are on the rise again. How wonderful. It makes me want to go to Paris and be the next Gertrude Stein

Exactly the life I want

1800s sex be like

*helps you out of a carriage* *unties your coat laces for you* *touches your ungloved hand* *avoids you at a ball*

One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal!
