“it’s going to help you more if you take a break from relationships and focus on yourself.”
no. this will never help me. i love loving. i love being in love. i love an emotional connection. i love romantics. i love spoiling my partner. i love the simple happiness that comes from a romantic relationship. i do not feel good if i cannot love. if i cannot express love. if i cannot spoil someone. all forms of love make me who i am, but romantic love is personal and is only for me. you are for me to love, for me to spoil, and only for me to know.
(i love my partner)

watching the 1976 picture of dorian gray and i fear i am insane about this. i will in fact be flinging myself off the nearest cliff now.
"but they are not canon"
Do I look like I give a fuck
dorian only thinks his portrait is beautiful because he sees it as a depiction of his fleeting youth and identity, but the truth is the portrait is actually a reflection of basil, the artist, who put too much of himself in it. it’s not dorian who is beautiful, but rather basil’s pure love for him, which in turn is a reflection of basil’s soul and true nature. by loving dorian, and embracing his love through art without shame, basil has created the most precious thing, even if it is fleeting. much like romance, all art is quite useless, but it touches the human spirit nonetheless, and that’s important
Hey guys, so I feel weird making one of these, but my dad gave me the okay, so I’m doing so.
The above picture is of my sister, Raven, at her swearing in ceremony when she became a citizen, something she is very proud of and worked very hard towards. Raven is autistic, trans, and an immigrant. Unfortunately, since the election, Raven has been assaulted on two separate occasions, purely based on her appearance and what body parts bigoted people think she may have. They have called her horrible things and threatened her with even worse physical violence than they actually did. My dad is hoping to move from Texas to California, where she will be safer and much less likely to be attacked again. This move will cost a lot of money that sadly went to my dad’s cancer treatment a few years ago, as well as a more recent hospital stay. If you are in a position to help, please consider donating here to get my sister to a safer place.
Look, the concept of the Giffin and Whybourne-series is pretty nice, gay nerd and gay detective solve mysteries in 1800-something USA, but I’m a few chapters in and Griffin is an abomination of over- embellishment already:
His eyes are, I am not kidding, described as green with flecks of blue and brown in them, added to his ‘tousled, slightly too long hair’, his thick eyelashes and plump lips and his broad shouldered handsomeness, I mean, Jesus.
I know Whybourne canonically really needs a wank, but I’m already exhausted by the embellishments and I’m five chapters in.
I suppose I wasn’t promised it would be good, just gay *shrugs*.
this just makes sense to me
Basil Hallward, at a demonstration: Gay marriage rights!
Henry Wotton next to him, holding a poster with crossed-out rings: No gay marriage! Forget marriage! We are better than this! We-*looks at Basil* *sighs* Gay marriage rights. We want them.
