Years go by like seconds, like chapters skipped in a dvd. And I thought, this isn’t right, this isn’t how life is supposed to feel.
it’s not. But at the end of the day, the week, the month, the year. I’m Owen, I’m Isabelle, I’m scared.
because as long as I don’t think about it, it can’t hurt me.
and I’ve tried to look at it, I’ve shown others. But in the end, it’s too complicated. Because I don’t fit into those boxes, and I won’t just be one.
so years will still pass like seconds, and every time it’ll hurt less until the pain is my regular. I’m not scared anymore.
I’m just empty.
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
I fell asleep in my friends' arms. It was eleven at night, we were tired, curled up in a small pile on my tiny bed. I had my head buried in my roommate's side, and one of my closest friend's hand on my shoulder, steadying me. It was quiet and nothingness and peace and their heartbeats in my ears, my hands in their hair.
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
We pack four people to that little bed, you know. Laps used as footrests, collarbones as pillows, little lights like moonlight in rustic yellow bathed on their faces. The TV plays an anime. The words are repeated by my dear friend on my shoulder, curled close. My legs are asleep; my roommate may be, too.
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
The cat curls on top of our criss cross mess of legs and arms and heads on chests to absorb the warmth of us all. She purrs in contented peace. When my roommate and I are left alone in the quiet, she cries, and watches the door for our friends' return.
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
I will never kiss them but the top of their heads. I will never touch but the warmth of their arms. I will never take more than what's freely given, and in return I put my glasses on the bedside table fashioned from a guitar amp, and when I lean into their sides, I pick up my vulnerability and place it in their capable, tender hands.
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
I sing for them. I cry for them. I work and I run and I withstand the worst of the world for them, because some days I get to cradle their forehead on my shoulder and some days I get to see their shining eyes.
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
Maybe to you. But look beyond explanation. I love them. With my heart in my unsteady hands, with my nose pressed to the side of their head, with the buzzing in my feet and the warmth all around Iike the sunset pushing into the window.
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
Is it enough to say I love them? With no strings attached? With reckless abandon and utter devotion and freedom and kindness and fear?
"there is no platonic explanation for this--"
I cannot explain it any clearer. I love my friends. There is no more to say.
hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god
what was that?
what did I just watch?
(!the umbrella academy season 4 spoilers!)
why is the 70yr old in a 19yr old ish man’s body kissing his brothers wife who is 20 yrs his senior while simultaneously 20 yrs younger than him?
Why’d they nuke Diego and Lila’s relationship like that?
why is Reginald and Abigail aliens?
why is nothing resolved?
what’s up with that subway, how did time work there?
why is there no dance number?
WHAT DID I JUST WATCH
don’t get me wrong, I’m very glad we got another season, I just wish that we’d had atleast some filler in there, some family bonding? Because they don’t seem like they’ve really seen eachother in years???
and why were so many characters just left to the side? No character development/negative character development (Klaus, five, lila, a little bit Allison)???
I’m very sorry, I am just wrecked from that whole season, just finished bawling hysterically like 30 minutes ago and am now eating a pirate pack. So I’ve got some mixed feelings going on….
on that note! If anyone has any good season 4 fics (fix-it, au, extended scenes, legit anything), they would be greatly appreciated in these trying times
I'm trying to prove something.
“If friends was made today Chandler would be bisexual”
That’s our controversy! We have our fans who say that Chandler is straight and is not and would never be bi or gay, and if we want representation to go find another show. The other side is people who say chandler is bisexual or gay, no questions and pick fights with the other side.
In my opinion both sides are wrong.
Chandler is straight
But if he were bisexual, it would be for Joey
But not in the way he loves women, no. He would love Joey as more than a friend, but not as a lover. They’d get married for tax reasons but then play up the old married couple idea, just like they did when they got the duck and chicken.
Chandler is straight
Chandler being bi is a fun head cannon and it’s all good if you believe it, but remember it was the 90s and being gay was used as a joke, and bisexuality was very very nuanced in the media and even not real to many people.
Chandler is a very fun, sassy, kind, handsome, at times flamboyant (briefly), kind, ladies man. He has the leanings of a bisexual cis man, but is undeniably straight and is just the “token gay” of the friend group without being gay.
Let the queers make up their head cannons
And let the straights keep their old show
Neither side is wrong or right
Both just need to calm the hell down and realize Chandler is an amazing character who deserves attention and fan works, not controversy over his sexuality.
Do what makes you happy, just don’t do it if it hurts anyone (that includes the actors in friends, the directors of friends, the fans of friends).
Be good people and let poor chandler be a straight man very comfortable in his own sexuality, comfortable enough to answer questions like “which guy would you kiss” confidently and without reserve.
Chandler is not gay, bisexual, or anything other than straight in the friends that took place in the 90s, but if there were a reboot, Chandler would probably be bisexual.
Chandler is just perfect being a not so macho man, funny, straight guy.
It’s good to see him have a successful love life with it all
Sad we didn’t get a whole lot of pansexual Phoebe though, she was pretty obvious. Not in a “I thinks she’s gay, so she’s gay” more in a “she had the vibes, and I would not be surprised if you told me she dated a girl” (And there was the hole thing with Ross and Monica’s cousin but yknow)
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
(Chandler and Joey are Bert and Ernie btw. I take no arguments yet accept all questions on the matter)
