Piper McLean because I’m reading son of Neptune and I miss her

being gay isn’t a choice. one day you just hear tender, emotional music start playing.

I like to think so

A little reminder :)

Big fan of this whole Magnus archives thing. Might make a new personality out of it we’ll see

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.

This is some medicated Andrew shit

If you need instrumental dark academia playlists to study with for finals, these are some spotify playlists I made that might help you out the way they helped me

Minimal atmospheric piano that doesn’t sound like it’s taken straight from an alexa commercial. Really minimal, melancholy. 

Violin y cello instrumentals for studying and reading: includes soundtracks and some classical music opus.

Minecraft-like ambient exploration suites: soft, creative instrumental ambient sounds

Opera and choral music: if you’d seriously like to feel like you’re studying at a gothic library, then this playlist’s the one for you. Eco chamber-like

Instrumental soft jazz: really soft jams, some of the BGM chanel. Slow ballads to read to.

*Classical music: Background classical piano, violin and orchestal pieces from recognized classical composers for studying the old fashioned way.

Open to suggestions or feedback, I hope these help you out! Push it through!

I got a new car a few days ago and I’m pretty sure the old one is going to scraps and I just realized I left my Smiths CD in the player fUCKFUCKFUCK
