Arguablyacademic - Romanticizing The Mundane

today's to-do list:

to indeed be a god

Pretzel sticks and crunchy peanut butter are the only things keeping me from setting my laptop on fire so I no longer have to look at my ethics paper anymore.

i finally made a uquiz: which murder mystery premise are you?

*TGR spoilers

Was having a normal day until I started thinking about how Jean talks about fruits like they’re rare animals, how he practically cradles the peach Cody gave him and keeps it safe from “prying eyes and greedy hands”, how he remembers a rumour that Hamrickson showed up with a papaya once but he never even saw the papaya because he was unconscious that day, how he eats strawberries slowly to savour them, how he GRUMBLES DISCONTENT when Laila confirms that peaches grow on trees because he was leaning into his gardening era and wanted grow his own peaches I—

no, because, let’s talk about this-

PITTS’ SIGNATURE

Unpopular ship opinion. Cameron/Charlie could have a great romance written about them from antagonistic reluctant friends, to eventually being in love. Why am I actually so into this idea?

YES! I totally imagine that. They would realize that they’re not that different. Once they get that out of the way, they really start to click. They would start out all awkward, not knowing how to act. But they learn to appreciate each other for who they are.

A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.

more adam parrish heartbreak bc i'm (still) rereading tdt and he's breaking my heart!!!

•"besides adam was good at hiding things"

•"but adam was thinking about the suppressed truth: the two of them were on perpendicular paths, not parallel ones, and eventually, they'd have to go different ways. by college, probably. if not college, then after. a tension was building in him, like the one that sometimes haunted him late at night, where he wanted to save gansey or *be* gansey"

•"he *was* adam parrish, army of one. gansey raised by these adoring courtiers, would never be able to understand that"

•"i won't take your pity"

•"i am unknowable"

•"adam has killed himself for aglinoby, he said suddenly and for what? education?"

•"the bruises he'd come to school with. who has he ever had to love him? ever?"

•"how terrible it would be, blue thought, her mind on adam again, to not have a mother who loved you?"

this.

The feminine urge to take 21 credit hours and then complain about it when finals start up.
