Therapists Are Just…. Common Sense Filters

i don’t want to look “hot” i want to look alluring, haunting, bewitching. i want to look like the kind of person hozier would write a song about.

Things bookworms are upset about

- sequels coming out in a different size than the first book

- damaged book mail

- that we can’t read through our tbr pile before we die

- that time the Library of Alexandria got burned down

- the book waiting list in our local library

9-1-1 SEASON 7: FAVORITE MOMENTS ↳ part 25/? +bonus

“You know you’re always ready to fight. There’s no way I would believe you if you said otherwise.”

“Even if I could have chosen to do things differently, I wouldn’t. Not after everything else.”

“You can’t be that dense. Of course I love you.”

“Will you stop talking to the shadows? One of them might follow you home.”

“I’ve never demanded perfection, mostly because I know it doesn’t exist.”

“I was waiting for a chance to ask you to dance with me, but you were gone.”

sigh…

It's funny - the scene with Marisol and Eddie playing happy family over ice cream was less believable to me than Eddie meeting Shannon's twin and sleeping with her. He's just decided that they don't know each other well enough to live together - but he's letting her get close to Christopher? What? But it paralleled the flashback scene where Eddie and Shannon were in bed (sex having always been their escape from reality), romanticizing what putting their family back together was going to be like ("Santa says mommy can come home!" Is the Easter Bunny going to comfort Chris when she leaves again?).

In both cases, Eddie is pulling these women closer in order to pull this picture perfect family back together. And this becomes especially apparent when the flashback to Shannon cuts and Eddie and Marisol are left sitting alone in this small, dark space, the vibe wildly different without Christopher there. They still have nothing to say to each other- this fact of their relationship hasn't changed since 7x05. Marisol is Kim - Eddie is playing out his dead relationship with Shannon with both women and he's going to be in for a rude awakening when reality hits - twice!

Old dreams die hard, specifically dreams that you come up with when you're young and naive and the world is full of possibility, dreams that you carry to war and that keep you going in brutal circumstances. More than Shannon herself, Eddie can't give up on what they were supposed to have.

Which makes it SO painfully ironic that Eddie's dream family is actually RIGHT THERE in front of him if he just reaches for it. The warm family scene in Buck's loft was such a deliberate contrast to both the flashback scene with Shannon and the second scene with Marisol. Shannon is dead and Eddie is just wasting time with his current gf - that's the cold, hard truth he's going to have to face soon. But it's also true that Eddie and Chris know Buck well enough to have pizza on the way when Buck's experimenting in the kitchen. And maybe that's how Eddie's dreams might still come true.

i saw this and i want to post it just to be sure

‘destiel is queerbait’ ‘destiel is canon and therefore not queerbait’

wrong. destiel defies regular definitions of canon and queerbait and in fact it’s both because of the sheer chaos going on in that writers room,, like one writer was doing heartfelt canon destiel, another one was only doing destiel for the bit, another one was doing queerbait destiel, another one was doing unrequited destiel, another one was actively trying to undermine someone else’s work and view of the pairing, and I could go on
