Why is it always about Orpheus turning back foolishly and never about Eurydice following him out of the Underworld, likely knowing she was doomed. That Orpheus went all this way, singing the story of their love, hopeful that he will return her to the surface and finally build their life together— but they will not. She knows her Orpheus will turn back. And yet she still follows him, all the way to the top, because the simple pleasure of seeing his back again is enough for her. Isn’t that a foolish thing to do for love?

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

some time last year in a daze i signed up to be a community notes contributor on twitter, and i have not used this ability once in any meaningful sense, but i do appreciate that it sometimes provides me with exclusive advance previews of muppet discourse

it should be illegal to take a nap and still have a headache when you wake up. like no i shut it off and back on again why are you still here

"well it's all downhill from here !"

Sisyphus trying out a new positive outlook

if i had a penny for every time netflix canceled yet another amazing show because it didn’t blow up into a worldwide phenomenon just to make another amazing show that they’ll drop after one season because it also didn’t blow up into a worldwide phenomenon until they eventually run the service into the ground, i’d have like 45 pennies by now

pioneering something called "gritted teeth optimism" where everything is gonna turn out okay even if i have to bite and claw and gnash my way through it

niko and crystal make me sob

if it weren't for crystal, niko barely would've left her room. if it weren't for crystal, niko would've been torn apart by the dandelion sprites.

crystal saved niko, so of course niko, the loving selfless person she is, stepped in to save her in return when the time came. no matter the consequences. even if it's scary and the odds are bad and we might die horrifically.

amy march they could never make me hate you

Male gaze this. Female gaze that. What about my wide-eyed gaze, we're singing in the car, getting lost upstate?

Inside Out 2 in my head

The Cat with Julie Manet (detail), 1877

by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919)

in another life, i would have loved doing laundry and taxes with you..

If life is a never ending loop of dirty dishes and laundry then that means life is a never ending loop of home cooked meals and comfy clean clothes

this isn’t normal. this isn’t how life is supposed to feel. if you don’t think about it it can’t hurt you. I found our hearts and they were still beating. there is still time.

the best part of my lady jane is after they fuck for the first time and she in the daylight softly looks over and he is. a fucking horse. passed out on the floor. it's just a motherfucking horse on the ground. and the narrator is like "it's so magical to see someone you love as they truly are 😊" yeah that man she just fucked truly is a horse. amen, show of the summer.

i constantly think about that one stanza in taylor swifts poem “if you’re anything like me” that goes

“And no amount of friends at 25 / Will fill the empty seats / At the lunch tables of your past / The teams that picked you last... / But Darling, you keep trying.”

cuz like. yea it was 13 years ago but that time everyone abandoned me at recess when i was 7 still rings in my head whenever i meet a new person until you reboot and realize where you are now

It’s weird how everyone hating you when you’re nine years old still affects your self esteem when you’re 26 like yeah nobody came to my birthday party but that was like 17 years ago why is it stopping me from going to a gay bar

It's honestly hilarious to me how none of us just stopped to think 'wait, something is definitely wrong with this girl, wtf' when Niko first appeared behind fluffy clouds and rainbow lights, and instead just shrugged it off as Crystal being a raging lesbian, the biggest queer stonks of all time

i saw the tv glow is awesome bc its terrifying in a transgender "if i keep pushing this down and down and down i will be slowly letting myself die" way but also its even just scary as "a man in the moon traps you in a dimension out of time built to psychologically torture you with suburbia"

So what was everyone doing when they found out that it's officially joever

i do have to respect that everyone was like "bridgerton is the most cheerfully historically inaccurate horny on main period drama romance show with a very anachronistic soundtrack to be released in 2024" and my lady jane was evidently like "bet"

Shoutout to My Lady Jane for having a young girl watch her sister get married to a horrible old man and her immediate solution was to murder the man. That’s absolutely the solution a baby sister would come to.
