“i love you”s are not a limited resource and should be used constantly, at any occasion, all the time!!!!!!!!!!

love it when people are just a little bit unraveled. hair wisps flying everywhere, wrinkles in yesterday’s t-shirt, pockets reserved for useless things only. fingers kissed blue from the last pen that fell in love with you. laugh on the wrong side of raw. smile on the right side of bizarre. bright eyes smeared kohl dark, hungry mouth stained lollipop red. messy messy messy messy. you are blurry like the edges of my favorite old photograph. each second you’re born anew. you are beautiful and terrible and the most irreplaceable part of living and i could love you forever and ever and ever

Daily Reminder To:

Take your medications that you need to!

Get up, stretch, walk around a bit!

Get some food and water if you haven’t in a while!

Plug in your device!

Feed any pets!

If it’s between 10 pm and 7 am and you have no reason to be awake besides being up on your phone, go to sleep or at least get comfortable and start trying to sleep!

Check around you and stack any dishes and bring them to the kitchen! Including plates, cups, bowls, and utensils!

Do a quick look around and pick up any trash and put it in the bin!

Message anyone to check in on them and yourself! Respond to any messages you may have gotten, answer some asks if need be, let your family know that you’re safe, whatever you need to do!

If you need to and are able to, go take a shower! Or clean your face! Get changed at the very least, put your clothes in the dirty hamper, and feel better about it!

That’s all for now! Good job, I’m proud of you for doing that!

you make me want to throw up

ej’s first lines EVER are “that’s amazing. you’re amazing.” and they’re directed at kourtney when she says that looking good and fighting intersectional feminism is her summer job in s1. he continues to praise her amazingness in s2 and is visibly impressed by her talents. 

in regards to nini in s1, yes he’s her boyfriend and likes her but he always supported her and consistently did so even after they had broken up. for example, when miss jenn gets fired, he tells her that everyone will be missing out on her role as gabriella and thoroughly continues to support her in s2 when she’s a guest in the morning show. and i can name someone who didn’t support her even when they were dating but i won’t because this post is about ej.

during the tech rehearsal, ej tells carlos that he always steps up even though they had an argument about authenticity and carlos had criticized ej for not having emotional connection to the role of troy. in s2, he wants to give carlos the best birthday video and even expresses that he loves him.

although they’re not remotely close, ej shows concern for ricky when he tells him that he’s not feeling well and can’t continue on with the show in s1. instead of, you know, pushing him out of the way and taking the spotlight without showing any care for his castmate’s wellbeing. 

even though mr. mazzara approached ej to talk about him and his rejection to duke, ej took into consideration what mr. mazzara said and scored him a spot in the tech school of his dreams using his father’s name. 

and yeah, ej did cancel his date with gina but he wasn’t rude about it. used ashlyn being the lead as an excuse to go to the party and support her. he thought he doing was the right thing like he did with nini at the end of s1. he had feelings for gina but if she saw him as a brother, he didn’t want to make her feel awkward. which was a huge misunderstanding but even then he made that speech about how everyone was important to him, including gina. like god forbid that ej have any feelings, right? if you don’t think ej cried in his car on the way to slices you’re seriously mistaken that child was on the verge of tears during and after the party.

Superman introducing Battinson Bruce to his parents though.

Ma and Pa Kent open the door, ready to meet their boy’s new bf, but it’s only Clark on the porch.

Clark: :D

Ma: Hi, honey. Where is your boy?

And then, peeking around the door frame, is Bruce in a suit and long wool coat, gaunt, squinting against the sun.

Bruce: hi it’s nice to meet you I’m Bruce

Pa: Oh, you didn’t have to get all dressed up to meet us!

Bruce: Mybutlermademe

Ma: Butler? Mercy, Clark, where did you find this one?

—

Clark disappears into the kitchen to help Ma with dinner, leaving Bruce and Pa sitting in the front room watching a baseball game. Bruce is sitting in an armchair, stiff as a board, anxiety level 100.

Pa: So Clark tells me you do the same sort of thing he does? Swoop around and help folks and such?

Bruce, blurting out the first thing that comes to mind: I can’t fly.

Pa: Wh—Okay?

Bruce: I am a bat but I can’t fly. Not without my Wingsuit.

Pa:…

Bruce, realizing what he just said: never mind

Pa, turning back to the tv: So how about them Yankees?

—

Ma: And this is our chicken coop. It’s a little musty, but Clark comes by to help tidy up once a week.

Bruce: *observing*

Ma: There’s this got-dang coyote—

Bruce, pointing at the corner: The coyote that’s been eating your chickens is burrowing under there. Reinforce it.

Ma:…I love you.

—

Pa: So what’s it like in Gotham?

Bruce, hunching over: The city is overrun with crime. Darkness lurks in every corner. We have an average twelve days of sun a year. Recently there has been a noxious cloud of gas hanging over the city center. I perch myself on my tower to observe. I become part of the building. I am a gargoyle.

Pa:…

Pa: Do you like living there?

Bruce, whispering fiercely: iloveit

—

Clark, flying Bruce back home: My parents love you.

Bruce: okay

Clark: They’re convinced you’re a cryptid that’s latched onto my soul, though.

I still think their age gap is nasty. It reminds me of another Disney show that tried to normalize a college freshman dating someone who hadn't even entered high school yet. Though maybe it's just the 7 year age difference between the actors that throws the whole thing off for me.

I was a bit torn whether or not to reply to this since you're clearly not looking for me to change your mind. You sound like you think this is something I won't be able to respond to, like it's some "gotcha" moment. So this response isn't really for you. It's just a way for me to talk about this subject that is brought up a lot by people like you and to give my perspective on it.

You think a relationship with a 1-2 year age gap (the only age confirmation we have is that EJ was 17 post-S1) between two characters who are both in high school, in the same theater/friend group, and close friends is comparable to a ship (calling them a ship cause I don't think they were ever together?) between a college freshman and someone in middle school? I've never seen GMW so I can't say anything about how those two met and whether they ran in the same circles (though that too would be a bit odd), but nothing could make their age difference look any better. There's a HUGE difference between these two ships, anon. This isn't the same situation at all.

And it's not like EJ is a random senior who fell for a sophomore he saw in the hallway once. Nor is he a college freshman hanging out with middle schoolers. He and Gina are in the same school, in the same theater group, became close friends, and fell for each other. That's a very different dynamic and age difference with a very different context.

As for Matt and Sofia: first of all, their age difference is 5 years. You'd know that if you bothered to check your facts. And since I've already talked about this topic before, I'm just gonna repeat that answer here:

First of all, age gaps between actors playing love interests are different than age gaps between people who are in a real life relationship. Actors playing love interests on screen aren’t actually dating each other and work in a controlled environment, so the issues of consent they deal with are very different than people in actual relationships.

Whether or not an age gap between actors is inappropriate depends, imo, on how young the youngest is (I’d say below 16 is definitely a no for kiss scenes, 16 and 17 depends on consent from the actor/actress and their parents, and 18 or older on consent from the actor/actress) and what kind of scenes they’re being asked to film (as in, is any sexual content involved). Given that HSMTMTS is a Disney show that will at most ask for a kiss, I don’t think the age gap between Matt and Sofia is inappropriate.

But what matters most is that Sofia feels comfortable doing romantic scenes with Matt and that she consents to whatever the writers/directors may ask of her. We can’t know what happens behind the scenes, but I take it in good faith that Tim ensures that such consent is given. Especially since Sofia has never given us a reason to believe she feels uncomfortable shooting scenes with Matt. Quite the opposite. And since Matt and Sofia seem to be good friends, I find it hard to imagine that she feels uncomfortable filming romantic scenes with him. So as long as Sofia feels safe on set, I don’t see an issue with Portwell.

*slams fist* I. JUST. WANT. DARLINGTON. BACK.

"why are you always reading books" there are pretty gay criminals in them.

Despite the very dark themes of Ninth House, somehow Darlington and Alex are such a comfort couple. Like I love waking up in the morning and thinking that Alex would be proud of me for waking up at all and Darlington would love me for cleaning my desk and making a to-do list.

If I pull an all-nighter, Darlington would want me to take breaks and Alex would be equally frustrated with me about my thick books but still supportive of me making progress.

If I catch a cold, Alex would want me to be buried under blankets and warm and Darlington would make me try some fancy brandy to help me stop sneezing.

He would want me to read more books, learn that new language, drink tea from that fancy cup and give it my all and Alex would want me to be unbothered but still love my friends. She would want me to have enough strength to move forward and leave hurtful things in the past.

The feminine urge to get a boyfriend that belongs to a Yale secret society.

Darlington my beloved💕

he's been stuck in hell for a long time Leigh please help him lmao

Currently thinking about Alex in leather jacket and boots with her tattoos and Darlington in soft sweaters with classic books and his fluffy hair.
