When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What’s heaven to a woman’s love anyway? What’s God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that’s a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone’s right about us and we’re sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what’s God to a woman’s love anyway? What has heaven got that I can’t find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

How old were you at the lowest point in your life? Reblog this and put it in the tags, plus your current age maybe. I'm trying to see something.

I think kafka’s diaries are the strongest evidence that journaling is not necessarily good for your mental health

okay, yes, I know that comma isn't supposed to be there but I want the reader to take a breath! I want a pause! Stop trying to correct me, I'm trying to control the flow of reading

no bc i genuinely forget that he's dead. like wdym you miss liam??? he's probably just busy woodcarving and'll be back in a few hours

One of my favourite things about the Fourth Wing/Empyrean fandom is that we all post like Liam is still alive. Incorrect quotes? Yep. Fan fiction? You got it. Headcanons? Of course he's making an appearance. Those TikToks about how various characters would dance at a club? He’s there.

It’s like we all collectively agreed he didn’t die and completely refuse to acknowledge it, except every once in a while someone makes a post about how they’re still traumatised and like twenty people reblog with “me too 😭”.

i really liked she didn’t announce anything. it was the last night of eras and only that

A word I needed

“Violet was so annoying in Iron Flame” yeah? Cry about it. After the shit she went through, she can complain about whatever the fuck she likes.

She got betrayed by the man she loved, had her entire world turned upside down, almost died, almost died again, was pushed to burnout, drugged and tortured, manipulated and belittled by her boyfriend’s ex, had her heart broken at the discovery he still didn’t trust her after everything they went through together, watched her mother die and one of her closest friends literally lose his leg, and you’re whining because “oh, she should be able to trust Xaden without knowing everything.” Shut the fuck up. Violet Sorrengail would eat you for breakfast. Grow up and develop some critical thinking skills.

Since today is the last day of the Eras Tour, and I probably won't be awake when the tour officially ends...

A salve of applause for Taylor Swift, Max Bernstein, Matt Billingslea, Karina DePiano, Amos Heller, Mike Meadows, Paul Sidot, Jeslyn Gorman, Kamilah Marshall, Melanie Nyeman, Elliotte Woodford, Amanda Balen, Taylor Banks, Karen Chuang, Audrey Douglass, Tori Evans, Natalie Lecznar, Tamiya Lewis, Sam McWilliams, Sydney Moss, Natalie Peterson, Jan Ravnik, Kameron Sauders, Kevin Scheitzbach, Raphael Thomas, Whyley Yoshimaura for performing every night on the Eras Tour over the 21 months.

Another salve of applause for Taylor Swift for writing these songs and coming up with the Eras Tour. And another one for Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner, Liz Rose, Nathan Chapman, Christopher Rowe, Max Martin, and Shellback for co-writing and/or co-producing these songs.

We had the time of our lives with you 🫶

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

more on this fic because QuirkCire commented "Theo fanboying over Yor and Twilight mistaking it for interest in her because he also kinda fanboys over Yor too was hilarious" and. LMAO UR SO RIGHT

Ichigo gets a lot of shit (typically from outside of the Bleach fandom) for being a character whose wants/goals never change from beginning to end of his series. He always wants to protect people (and even though I could argue that he went from only wanting to protect those close to him to wanting to protect everyone he can, that's not the point I'm making with this post).

I think a lot of people who only give Bleach a passing glance fail to see Ichigo's true character growth. It's not about what his goals are or who he's trying to protect, but rather, it's about how he achieves it.

Ichigo is very self-sacrificing in the first third of Bleach. He believes that if the mission is successful, then it doesn't matter how broken or close to death he gets. The mission, saving Rukia (and hurting/killing as few people in the process), is all that matters.

Then, when a part of himself (his inner hollow) emerges, and says "hey yeah no, I'm not letting you get yourself killed and I'm also not letting you hold back against your enemy", Ichigo immediately rejects it.

It's not until he defeats his inner Hollow that we see Ichigo really dive into a fight with the intent to kill. The problem is, once his Hollow is defeated, he thinks that's it. He's freed himself of that part of him and he can go back to being self-sacrificing.

We see this throughout the Hueco Mundo arc. It's why saving Orihime parallels saving Rukia. Ichigo naively thinks he can suppress a part of himself. He bottles it up until it explodes, coming back to haunt him in his fight with Ulquiorra, etc. He learns that side of himself isn't so easily tucked away, and if he recklessly endangers himself, he could end up endangering his friends too. At his own hand, no less.

Then Ichigo discovers he can commit the ultimate sacrifice. Final Getsuga Tenshou. He can throw away these powers and the parts of himself that he doesn't like, and he can get rid of Aizen all in one go. He's lucky that it worked, but only because Kisuke was there.

Then, once Ichigo is powerless, he learns that's not what he really wants. Life doesn't "go back to normal". The can is open, and there's danger out there beyond just Aizen. And Ichigo can't do anything to stop it unless he gets his powers back.

So he does. Then he cuts down the threat to his friends and family. And he doesn't hesitate this time. Yes, he still has compassion for his enemies (he even goes to the Soul Society to ask for Ginjo's body so he can give him a proper burial), but he's learned not to hold back and he's learned that new threats will appear and he'd rather have the power to face them head on.

So then comes TYBW, and Ichigo is facing battles head-on without hesitation. He goes straight to the "bad guys" with the intention of cutting them down. He learns the truth about who his Inner Hollow is, and he accepts it. He's even willing to accept whatever consequences may come from training in the Royal Palace and becoming stronger. He accepts his power and potential fully, and learns that he has what it takes to protect his loved ones with his strength, and not with a sacrifice.

Ultimately, he heals the part of himself that thinks his life is worth less than other people's. He heals the part of himself that blames himself for not protecting his mother (when he was 9!! Like come on Isshin, put the kid in therapy!! Anyway...) He grows into someone who knows his self worth. And I think, for me at least, that makes him one of my favourite protagonists of all time. Because can't most of us relate to feeling worthless at times? And don't we also wanna overcome that?

Thanks for reading my ramble lmao, I'm sure this could have been more elegantly written but I'm very sleepy and just wanted to get my thoughts out there.

Part 2

bad kitty.

I just learned that Ichigo gets paid and the Shinigami didnt bother to even tell him.
