When everyone in the room is fighting for you
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”
— Helen Keller
i always forget how addicting it feels to read a book and not want to put it down. it happens every time; i should know it by now, should know that i'm going to spend the rest of forever chasing that high, feeling it every time i read a new page or crack a new paperback spine or read a new dedication, but it’s always a pleasant surprise. i think we all know it, right? one more chapter before bed, one more chapter after that, so on and so forth. we all know that the inevitable will happen and we all know we'll will be sucked into the story for the foreseeable future, but we never plan for it. we never schedule it. it's a spontaneous familiarity, like knowing exactly what the crack of lightning looks like across the night sky but still watching through the window in a midnight storm. it's everything i could ever want and it's all that i have at the same time.
"That's the Black Falcon!"
"No, that's Captian America"
I AM CRYIIINNGGGGG
I stopped watching and came here to make this post, it's not even half of the episode yet and there is already so many things to be talked about and my best friend hasn't watched it yet, so here I am.
John Walker literally tried saving the people in the truck and couldn't and I feel like the fact that he actually at least tried doing so is so nice, they never showed Walker do anything for his country until this episode, he was either showing off in the tv, fighting with Sam and Bucky, or killing people. I absolutely hated him until this episode but he was actually nice here. I thought he was making the shield to fight Sam but he actually made it to fight the flagsmashers and lost it along the way.
AND THE FACT THAT BUCKY SAVED WALKER FROM THE FLAGSMASHERS THE WAY HE SAVED SAM IN THE LAST EPISODE FROM WALKER HIMSELF. YOH.
That's some good character development you know. Cause I thought he went crazy but he was actually nice.
And this scene (the one in the pictures) was absolutely amazing, how they showed African Americans here, full of hope and joy... And also, I saw someone say that Walker's suit didn't have any white in it because it represents purity and justice in the American flag, and I love how WHITE Sam's suit is. And also Bucky's smile in this scene (hehe it was nice too)
Honestly? Fuck this culture of shaming people for learning about things late and liking them. who gives a shit if you discovered a song from years ago and youre in love with the band? Catch up with series you just discovered and talk about them to your friends, fall in love with movies others have known way before you even heard of them, read books youd heard of long ago but never got interested in until now and become a huge fan!! This idea that people are “fake fans” for not knowing about or being interested in things before and loving them now is garbage and we need to get rid of it. Just let people enjoy things jfc!!
The Ballad of Nora Lee
Song by Helldorado
Once upon a time there lived a lady young and fair
Raven hair and rosy cheeks and no one to compare
Daughter of a noble man in a little town
And her name was Nora Lee, and it was spoken all around
It's told that she was courted by two men of different kin
One of them a shoemaker that made boots of lizard skin
The other was the sheriff in this little town
And he swore he'd marry her or else he'd put her in the ground
One night the moon was brightly shining in the sky
She went to see the shoemaker and with him she did lie
"You are my own true love" she whispered soft and low
But they'd been spied upon that night, and soon the sheriff he would know
Then came a cold and dark night and the wind was blowin' free
The sheriff and his men they tied poor Nora to a tree
Full of wickedness they stole her maidenhead
Then they stabbed her with a knife 'till they were sure she was dead
Her body it was found the next day on the banks below
The news was heard and many hearts were filled with grief and woe
"The guilty one will soon be hung" the sheriff he did claim
And he called upon his men, the shoemaker to blame
The scaffold it was built and all the people gathered round
Just to watch that poor boy taken to his hangin' ground
The rope was tied around his neck for everyone to see
And as the hangman pulled the rope, then he would meet his Nora Lee
Flowers, important stuff.
I need posters of these.
The French Dispatch by Wes Anderson
Not a specific time period but I like learning about wars throughout history.
The first person that comes to my mind is the little prince lol. I read its book at least once every year and it feels different each time.
A fresh brew.
Libraries.
The (500) Days of Summer soundtrack, it's lovely.
A cottage on the top of a mountain with an old, huge, and shady tree right beside it OR a mansion that I design myself and it has a huge garden and an art studio in the backyard.
Talking with my friend and sleeping.
Films: About Time, Her, Midnight in Paris. Books: Fesleğen by Hikmet Anıl Öztekin, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
No.
I haven't read much, I will update this later in my life.
Not sure.
I dont like either.
Not sure, all my life I have lived in placed with only 1 or 2 seasons.
I think I should be reading more poetry, I like it but I dont have a strong opinion on it at the moment.
Texting; no, emails; depends on who I am emailing.
I only put 50 songs in each playlist as I discover them, when there is 50 songs in a playlist, I create another one. Sometimes it takes months to reach 50, and sometimes only a couple of weeks. When I listen to my old playlist I can see how ı was back then.
Khaled Hosseini and Dan Brown.
Hot chocolate.
Meadows, I guess.
Mulberry.
