someone: why do you read so much soulmate shit it’s cheesy
me internally: uhh probably because i’m obsessed with the idea of unconditional love and someone who won’t abandon me. the idea that i am destined for love and therefore inherently lovable means more to me than i can express with words, and compounded with the idea of someone who will love me forever, the concept of soulmates truly appeal to the (large) part of me that makes me feel that i’m going to die alone
me aloud: i just think it’s neat
this is long but i think it's a good read about the kind of weird shit even "normal" christianity does to women lol
my own addition is one time during our youth drama practice a boy could see a girl's lower back peeking out during a movement so he told the pastor about it, who then made an example of both of them by bringing them to the front of the group to discuss it at the next rehearsal. we applauded the guy for being Very Strong And Brave! while the girl in question stood there on display and didn't say anything while a middle aged man and a teenage boy discussed her body with the youth group for ten minutes.
also because this is a thread about women and people are ghouls: i'm trans, exclusionists go make your own repost. everyone else feel free to add your own weird christian purity stories lmao
She hadn’t seen it before, but he looks a wreck. Deep bags under his eyes, greasy, unkempt hair that’s falling out of his hat. There’s still flour and some egg remnants splattered on his face and clothes that he’s hastily trying to wipe off, but Kristin couldn’t care less about any of that. All she cares about is the way his eyes sparkle like sapphires when he looks at her, and that sudden energy courses through his body as he runs down the steps toward her.
“It’s Kristin!” he blurts, looking back at Niki, and then again to Kristin, blinking again and again like her very presence is incomprehensible. His voice is shaking too much to say anything more, his whole body trembling from far more than the cold as he draws nearer to her.
For the first time in so many years, Kristin doesn’t know what to do with herself. The mortal world is bright and overwhelming, and Phil is but one beautiful piece in all of it. She keeps an arm on a snow-covered spruce chair to steady herself, allowing him to take that final step towards her only because she doesn’t trust herself not to get horribly distracted if she reaches him first. “Hi,” Kristin says finally, feeling nearly as breathless as he looks.
the syndicate lore finale, but from c!kristin’s point of view, including all she did to get to phil.
reblog please thanks beloveds
I mean. He always looks adorable but I see your point
He looks so adorable when he’s concentrating 🤨😍
"they should make that a little more clear" says the lady who looked at the CLEARLY LABELED buttons and pressed the one that says staff only but didn't end up at the lobby
Starving to death this morning because ive been to the new local cafe twice this week already and if i go a third time ill look desperate.
I care about you. Just so you know.
Please do not abuse the anon function to say kind things to me.
Anon is for hurling abuse, insults and degrading remarks about my anatomy. By saying kind things you have revealed that you are in fact a plant, bot or fake account from which I have sent this message to myself to make me feel better.
Tell me why, when I introduced my family to discord (because time limits on zoom are dumb), they decided that's apparently the only way that I can be contacted from now on
Did text messaging and phone calls suddenly disappear from existence and I didn't notice
It's nice to feel appreciated but it's kinda annoying when it's literally not your job, and the second you give the person a chance to do their job, it all falls to shit.
I don't like micromanaging but if you give me no other choice...
You’re the villain and you know that, you just want the ‘good guys’ to understand why.
I think the message of Howl’s Moving Castle is that in order to maintain a successful relationship with some kind of fucked up wizard, you must find it in yourself to also be some kind of fucked up wizard.
