Online Communities Are So Strange Because People Slip Away So Easily. You Can Be On Here For Years, Folding

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Let’s Dance

Part 5/12

Part 4

Writing a novel when you imagine all you stories in film format is hard because there’s really no written equivalent of “lens flare” or “slow motion montage backed by Gregorian choir”

After a tedious and frustrating day, Alastor wanders into an electronics shop and stumbles upon the most fascinating sinner he's ever seen. What in the world is a television?

or: it's 1958 and love at first sight! or, uh—mutual obsession at first sight, but really what's the difference

This is beautiful!

they’re in a queer platonic relationship me thinks

*picks up the slimy phone and wallet with two fingers*

"Velvette, I believe this is from one of yours...."

Rosie and Alastor:

When Alastor was eating the loan sharks in episode 5, he ate them whole. Including their clothes and whatever else they had on their person.

Does Alastor have the strongest digestive system known to demonkind, or does he routinely hack out a whole ass wallet or a gun like a fucked up hairball?
