We do realise the reason why everyone loves Percabeth and many consider it the best romance in modern literature is because there is no hierarchy between them right?
Percy is not emotionally stunted and reliant on Annabeth to navigate the world, Annabeth is not reliant on Percy for survival and support. They are completely equals - they are both strategic and smart, both powerful and foreboding, both funny and sarcastic, both hubristic and display cruelty at times. They are flawed and see each others flaws and love each other because of that, not in spite of it, and they are the only straight couple in literature I can think of like this. In every way they are completely equal.
wade sacrificed himself for logan because he saw that deep down logan didn’t want to. the old logan would’ve done it without a second thought. he wanted to die, he thought he deserved to die. but wade taught him how to love, and showed him love in return. that’s what makes it so much more heartbreaking.
when logan finally felt like he wanted to live for the first time in years, he had to die. he had to die for the reason he wanted to live.

“‘You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake, say that you are not hurt!’ It was worth a wound -- it was worth many wounds -- to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.”
Narrative of John Watson
The Adventure of the Three Garridebs, Arthur Conan Doyle
You will be too raw for some. You will be too loud, too big, too fierce, too quiet, too deep. These are not your people.

and autumn comes when you're not yet done with the summer passing by
making basil and dorian siblings in the netflix adaptation is just… offensive. the picture of dorian gray was literally used in court to incriminate oscar wilde of homosexuality
netflix how are you going to explain this
sorry to say this but… wade and logan are just two sides of the same traumatised, dented, self loathing coin
get yourself someone who looks at you the way logan looks at wade
this part in the la la land script just broke me all over again
this post is so significant to me i cannot explain it
“Watson. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.” - Sherlock Holmes (Adventure of the Creeping Man, Arthur Conan Doyle)
i don't know why but this quote just hits me in the feels. "if inconvenient, come all the same."
maybe love is about finding your way to each other even when it's inconvenient.
it’s just me and my panadol against the world

“God, let me think clearly and brightly; let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences, let me someday see who I am.”
The Journals of Sylvia Plath, Sylvia Plath
“One morning this sadness will fossilize
And I will forget how to cry
I'll keep going to work and you won't see a change
Save perhaps a slight gray in my eye”

“To be poor but content is actually to be quite rich. But you can have endless riches and still be as poor as anyone if you are always afraid of losing your riches.”
Othello, William Shakespeare
Original quote: "Poor and content is rich, and rich enough, / But riches fineless is as poor as winter / To him that ever fears he shall be poor."
“Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.”
Othello, William Shakespeare
“i look up at the gaps of sunlight / i miss you more than anything”

“I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.”

go, and reach for the sky. hold the stars carefully in your grasp. fight for what you believe in. for you are young, and the world belongs to you.
“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.”
Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.”
