too lazy to draw one of those ‘my fave dynamics’ things but
middle aged coworkers who act like a divorced couple
middle aged coworkers who act like an old married couple
the “we both have commitment issues so let’s just keep this casual” to “i keep a spare toothbrush at your place and i think i’m in love with you” pipeline
wretched bastard with intimacy issues and The Sun™
charming extrovert with self worth issues and the person who sees straight through their bullshit
“we are at a serious moral impasse but i still desire you carnally”
highly competent mutually pining idiots going for a slow burn world record
“we’re both too exhausted for a relationship right now but maybe once we save the world we can talk about our feelings”
A dinner is cool but how about we spend the night staring at the moon together?
Simply imagine being a poet's muse.
I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day
Watching percy jackson as an adult is going to be insane because when I was 12, it was super cool for a kid my age to be doing wild dangerous stuff but now it's like you small, tiny BABEY. YOU ARE A CHILD!! but also, you still are a super cool *half God* child and I still do want to see u be a badass doing wild dangerous stuff.

Danez Smith, from "summer, somewhere"
Storm.
We create them.
With a web of lies,
And fake cries.
Then we sigh
When we are too high,
With all the water
Above the head.
We weep again this time
With real tears instead.
But the storm can't be stopped now.
Its no use to keep wondering how?
And so its starts to rain.
And so we regret everything
But all in vain.

Why can't friendships be just about having a good time together?Sometimes it's the circumstances or it's people simply changing but for a while you were understood, someone laughed along at your stupid joke and someone could relate to you. Why isn't that enough and so when it's time to leave, we leave without the promise of forever because we already lived forever in those moments.
