i often forget how beautiful the world can be, i do so love to be reminded
rant.
WHY-?
why is tragedy beautiful?
why is suicide glamorized?
why do we romanticize the Ophelias, Hedda Gablers, Cleopatras and Sylvia Plaths?!
why are Neil Perry and Daisy Randone fan favorites?!
WHY do so many queer stories end in sorrow?!
We are here to live! Dying is a consequence, not an aspiration!
YES!! momento mori, but so you can remember to enjoy life now, CARPE DIEM!!
Why when we can romanticize life, do we choose death?
Why do we choose to retreat from the warm caress of the sun and turn to the suffocating vice grip of the earth?
DEAR GOD WHY!!!!!
another Dalton edit pls ignore me I'm frantically saving edits in case tinktonk gets bonked
he’s so pretty i hope nothing horrifically ironic for his profession happens to him
I think the most terrifying and devastating thing about Charlie's character arc is how quickly he became the defender, the hero, the fucking white knight. As soon as Neil was gone it was like he wanted to do EVERYTHING in his power to keep the others above water. No matter what.
It's like. You see this character where, the whole time, he has a cocky exterior, this evident facade—but despite that, it's so apparent that all that matters to him is his friends. And he doesn't know who he is, he doesn't know what he wants, but now one of them is gone—and his INNATE ROLE is to pick up the pieces. Because that's what he knows. In his eyes, it's his one and only value. Because if he can't be good for himself, he can be good for them.
And that's why his punishment earlier in the film gets me. Because he has to be okay. He has to keep himself from breaking. Because he's the brave one. If he breaks, they do too. It's because of that scene that everything he does at the end makes perfect sense. He was destined to fall. Just like Neil was.
at Welton academy
straight up killing it
and by "it" haha let's justr say
my poets
this may need some work shopping
potential is a terrifying power we humans hold
to know that we could be anything, that we are everything
that it could shift or vanish in an instant
that nothing may matter later, but everything matters now
a rather silly call to action
i am going to be downloading and posting all my favorite DPS edits on here since tiktok is allegedly in danger once again, i implore you all to do the same if there are specific things you'd like to hold on to
him and this song kill me btw but whatever
