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.

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

this post is so significant to me i cannot explain it

A meme with a white background where to the right is the outline of a side profile, to the left is a speech bubble coming out of the person's mouth. Inside the person head there is a paragraph with the words "older queer people make me emotional because their existence means it's is possible for queer people to get the privilege of growing old, and that I too some day will be able to grow old while still maintaining my queer identity" the text is followed by an arrow pointing from it to the mouth and towards the speech bubble. Inside the bubble is a text saying "old man yaoi hits different"

“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.

“One Morning This Sadness Will Fossilize

“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”

Painting: Automat by Edward Hopper, 1927

“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."
