nothing is as tender as annotating your favourite books. it’s like leaving a piece of your heart on the pages for somebody else to find.
I hate these days but here I am, living 'em again; inescapable reality....
What do you do when you don't feel like a person anymore? When all you feel like is an extension to everybody else's life? I like being needed most of the times, but I absolutely hate it in moments when I stop feeling like a fucking valid person anymore, when being needed absolutely fucks up with my personal progress, be it academic, psychological, physical or emotional. When people who need my help feel entitled to it and I feel too exhausted to even defend myself on that stand, when all I want to do is cry about it.
MOOD- THIS WEEK;
Starting Wave optics from Physics (Pearson) by James S. Walker, today for revision and extra study.
Got myself a collective PDF of Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles".
my uni dorm <3
THE INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE ; AMC productions.
The look on lestat's face! Like he is angry that he's doing this when he wants to give louis attitude for being a mean bitch to him hours ago, but then he hears her and is a little, if not a lot, intrigued about her.
Now that they're playing daddies to little Claudia, they're are absolutely going to discuss the clothes, ah yes, the joy of parents.
This was probably the funniest part of the episode😂😂, lestat being his usual sarcastic self.
He really has been away from children for too long😂
No comment, teen problems😂
This fight! They act so much like a family now, parents fighting over their teenage vampire daughter. Despite the fact that lestat is overly annoyed most of the times about Claudia's antics he doesn't entirely hate the concept.
This scene is almost a depiction of the possible consequences, –although the argument here subsides–, of Claudia's curiousity.
Louis told Claudia to be careful when digging around and troubling lestat with questions because as knew all to well, that past troubles some people.
This was a beautiful scene. Louis introducing Claudia to the idea that love works the same for all –objective in basics and free for subjective interpretations of the nuances. He answered her questions with just a few words but did so gently, not rebuking her, not confusing her more, just telling what it really is. This scene says so much about Louis and his acceptance of his sexuality throughout his years with lestat.
He's embraces that part of his identity.
This show!!! I mean the way they've portrayed Anne Rice's vampires on-screen, as eternal beings with having subtle shades of humanity. Of being murderers, almost like apex predators in their own habitat but still having the similar concerns of failure as a parent, of hurting their loved ones. And sometimes, of hunting the wrong prey, which is clearly the humane side of them bothering.
EPISODE 4, S1
Ever get that ominous feeling twice a day that you're about to loose your shit pretty soon?
What do you do when you don't feel like a person anymore? When all you feel like is an extension to everybody else's life? I like being needed most of the times, but I absolutely hate it in moments when I stop feeling like a fucking valid person anymore, when being needed absolutely fucks up with my personal progress, be it academic, psychological, physical or emotional. When people who need my help feel entitled to it and I feel too exhausted to even defend myself on that stand, when all I want to do is cry about it.
"One of the profound anxieties I have is that because I only have one life, I am temporally and geographically limited. I can’t live in Brighton and in Barcelona and in Brussels at the same time. I strain against my finitude and wish I could be everywhere.
Reading calms this restlessness and allows me to transcend my limits. This is why I’ve always loved novels with a sense of place. I feel that I know what it is like to grow up in Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul, hang out in Donna Tartt’s Las Vegas, make a life in Tom Franklin’s Mississippi. When I wrote Berlin, I really wanted to give my readers that travelling experience: to place them in the city so that they would know the food, colours and smells, the strange and wonderfully disorienting social fabric of the place."
-Bea Setton; Author of"Berlin"
Someone I knew- an acquaintance, died today. I was indifferent to his existence, we all are to most people we casually encounter but it's hard to be entirely indifferent to their death too. You feel for the the possibility of life they could've had, you feel for the sorrow of those who knew them, you feel anxieties and hopelessness of those who were left behind with a hole in their daily lives because of that death. You feel the utter despair even if just for a second. I am not surprised that I did too, even if just for a few minutes as the realness of the moment hit me at once and overwhelmed my mind. I cried, a little but I did and I had no control over it. It's the origin of that burst of grief from within- the heartbreak for the family of that cold dead body being mourned now, the heartbreak of the good and bad that person was being everyday of their life but will be no more, the heartbreak for the cries and heartache that isn't even mine.
Here's to the relief of death still being merely an acquaintance to me.
A little from my weekdays....
Currently I'm studying HTML, watching interview with the vampire and reading the book at the same time, having fun comparing the differences between the masterpiece written and the adaptation for this century!
first chemistry lab this year. currently reading letters to a young poet between breaks. and living off ice tea (obsessed) the weather is so pretty <3
I AM IN ABSOLUTE LOVE WITH THIS ADAPTATION!!
Oh this scene absolutely melted me, Sam Reid plays lestat with perfect charisma and character.
Here, I just died of happiness. This one was literally brilliant dilevery, on both the actors part. The feelings, the buildup to that kiss of acceptance and the aftermath, everything!
Well, lestat's french.🔪
This scene was absolute gem! The little sounds from lestat- 'nuh-uh-uh-uh', 'hmm' just were so effortlessly delivered! And the laughter they shared, please!!! Literal soulmates!
Lestat's a funny french twat. This is what being a pro vampire, queer and french man in love does to you, apparently.
There interactions please😭😂😂. Daniel Malloy being a hardcore journalist taking no bullshit like his young self and straight up being a no-nonsense-patronizing journalist to perfection!
Has it ever happened to you in a confrontation that the person you're confronting tells you ,"You could've just done that, why didn't you? Now you're blaming me?"
You don't have a logical counter to that because yes logically you could've done that. But how would you explain someone your internal working mechanism, your fear of consequences if you didn't do it the way you did it, of the actual consequences you would have to face if you didn't do it the way you did? You see, the person you just confronted is blind to your perspective so it's understandable why they see another logical solution to your problem when it's not really a harmless and helpful solution for you, but as a fucking adult, they are supposed to take responsibility for the part where they made the mistake, where they evaded responsibility instead of blaming you for not doing the other way. This is called being logical.
It's almost time for dinner. I have peace at home, on my street, in my corner of this world. But in Iran, who has? In uncountable corners of this world someone is being hurt, being murdered, harassed, tortured, beaten- and the highest probability is of them being a woman, a transgender person, a black person, a economically weak person, a mentally or physically disabled person and the likes of such.
When will it stop?! This relative brutality, this harmful tradition of controlling lives that those in power believe to be less worthy of theirs- when all of us "unworthy ones" die?
PRISON ISN'T FOR CITIZENS WITH UN-HARMING SELF EXPRESSION, IT'S FOR THE LIKES OF MORAL POLICE!!!
So many posts and blogs i can reblog to talk about this incident, of this extremely immoral and unethical and inhumane misuse of power to oppress women- once again!
The thing is this isn't just ' an incident or another incident ', no, it's just another incident that MADE it to public. It's not another dose of oppression, no, it's being talked about in masses once again only because the existing oppression brought consequences again. It wasn't glaring us in the face so for some time, now another life has been taken, it's a mass movement again.
Incidents of extreme oppression don't just appear, no, people, marginalized masses suffer and then someone among the lot breaks or is murdered and everyone around the globe is shocked!
WHY ARE YOU SHOCKED? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN SUCH AUTHORITY AND POWER PREVAILS?!!!!!! WHEN SUCH SYSTEMS FOR OPPRESSING WOMEN, BLACK PEOPLE, PEOPLE BELONGING TO ANY MINORITY EXIST?!! DON'T BE SHOCKED, BE ANGRY!! IT'S NOT JUST THEIR WORLD, IT'S YOURS TOO. PLEASE SHOUT OUT, YELL, ACT, TALK, TALK TILL SOMEBODY CRIES OF THE INJUSTICE YOU SPEAK OF, TALK MORE. DO NOT BE SHOCKED, BE ANGRY. IT'S A SHIT WORLD. BE ANGRY.

Light reading.....
I'm myopic. So I need my glasses everytime I want to experience how a person with normal eyesight sees things. So, the situation is that to experience equality in terms of sight or vision, I NEED my glasses. It's not an advantage, it's a necessity. But to my father, it doesn't seem that way. He thinks I just need to wear glasses when I'm studying. To him, it looks like a tool to help me do something better rather than something that I need to do things normally all the the time.
I think people with any disability are misunderstood the same way and it's a shameful understanding society keeps about their issues. If only these nuances are understood more precisely, maybe we wouldn't question laws made for people with disabilities, so that they can experience equal participation and rights like any normal citizen, and maybe this world would be a slightly better place.
study sessions on wednesdays feel almost relaxing 🎞️
that Beige™️ lifestyle really has me in a chokehold 😔
Relaxing.....

A little something from my weekdays........
...I began to think"
Written by David Diop; translated from french by Anna Moschovakis.
I hate whenever my parents argue. Not because of mental stress or distress- well it's here ofc. But I'm more than often pissed about the fact that it isn't a logical argument, nor an argument where both parties have equal number of things at stake therefore have equal opportunities or freedom to make their point.
It's mostly, if not always an argument where my father - the financial leader of the family interrogates and bullies my mother verbally into resigning her opinion. I've seen my mother more than often soften her tone even when she isn't wrong (which is more than often) simply to avoid triggering my father's anger because his ego can't bear it.
I understand my father takes up financial matters of the family so is stressed but that stress is nothing compared to what my mother goes through and I am not even biased when I say that. It's simply an observation. And I hate the society (just so we're clear on this point).
Steven: Why do we have bruises all over our face? We weren't on any mission, were we?
Marc: No?
Jake: *trying his best to appear nonchalant
¿I went to the beach, hermanos?
Steven and Marc: *surprised but pleased at this turn in conversation
Jake: *speaking with a gentle smile.
A little blonde kid tried to push me in the sand. He thought it was funny.
*the smile turns manical
I threw him into the sea.
Steven and Marc: *sighing heavily but not surprised.
Marc: but what has that to do with the brusies.
Jake: *scowling now
That poco blonde shit had a big family.
*After a little pause
Jake: can we go to the beach again?
Steven and Marc: FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
this is simply the greatest video i have ever seen
When i first joined Tumblr i would read things here and think, " wow, all this is so funny. These people here are weirdly awesome."
After a few months of into it i finally realised how morally questionable and mentally deranged the audience here is and i was a little startled. Then I realised further that to enjoy their humour i would've to be equally fucked. Then I fainted.
Now? Now I party with vampires and dry hump wolves and throw cats into fire when I dream of jungles the night before to appease to satan and also now I wait outside everybody's rooms to suck little parts of their soul whenever they walk past me and the ultimate goal is to be immortal.
Klaus: So guys?
Luther: Klaus? Why are you wearing a suit?
Diego: Now you're going straight?
Lila: (looking at victor) Was that hetrophobic?
Victor(sighing): There is no such term lila.
Five: Why don't you bunch of assholes let him complete his question?
Klaus: We need to drive to the cemetery?
Ben: And? You want us to vote or some shit?
Allison:(at once with Ben) I thought you weren't afraid of ghosts, drive him.
*Ben and Allison glare at each other.
*Five pinches his nose.
Klaus: Not ghosts, no. I'm just high?
Luther: Why are you talking in questions?
Five: Fuck the traditional way. I'm teleporting, Delores.
