A Thing I've Learned About Interacting With Fanfiction.

regulus would be the most insufferable person to do arts and crafts with. like its valentines day and the group gathers to make cards and have some fun, meanwhile regulus' running that shit like the navy asking you how hard can it be to draw a fucking heart?? have you ever even used scissors in your life?? just fold it in half and cut it!! ugh this is too much glitter!! what are you? savages?? guys what is this?? am i the only one who had four hours of calligraphy lessons everyday for six years? (he was). at some point he just says pass me the damn hot glue gun and makes all of their cards

safe to say they never did arts and crafts together again

What she says: I'm fine

What she means: I've been screaming endlessly inside of my head for the past week. I haven't had a decent night sleep in longer than I can remember and I've lost track of how many days I've been laying in bed staring at a wall.

from the bottom of my heart: just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to exist

this was nice to hear

Burt’s Bees creator Burt Shavitz died Sunday — but left behind advice we all need to hear 

Burt Shavitz, the bearded man whose face and spirit created the beloved brand Burt’s Bees, died on Sunday at 80. Shavitz passed away in his rural home in Maine, surrounded by family and friends. Shavitz was never one to embrace a crowd. In fact, his life story is as true to the Burt’s Bees images as you can get: unpretentious, wholly original and all natural.

writing is so fun
