Being friends with people across the world is just arguing on which culture has a better take on breakfasts and not being awake at the same time.

Life is Strange should just be called Bisexuals Go Through Pain and Depression Simulator at this point.

Had to be there I guess

the dead poets society fandom is so fun. like one popular post will be an in depth analysis of a scene or quote with great meaning from the movie and another will be ✨dead poets boys as crocs✨

Dorian: *shows Basil his corrupt portrait*

Basil:

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

a love letter, from me, to you ❣️

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS😭😭😭

In this house we stan Declan Lynch, an upper middle class white guy, who, when in a museum, started explaining something to the bisexual woman of colour, and immediately banked to “Do you know this already? Don’t let me bore you if you do.”

Good egg.

Did I mention Robert Frost was an absolute babe back in the day?

Man, woman and infant, victims of an earthquake in 365CE at Kourion, Cyprus

“The most amazing discovery at Kourion was the finding of a family trapped under tons of falling debris. A 25 year old man put his leg and arm over the body of a 19 year old woman but to no avail. A fallen block had snapped her neck at right angles. They held hands in their last moments and they still do. And in her arms, cradled to her chin was her one and a half year old baby. Rodents crawled down amid the hollows in the debree and attacked the soft flesh of the child, dragging it all about until the rodents themselves ended up as victims of the disaster. On the finger of the young lady was a bronze ring, which bore the Chi Rho, the symbol of Jesus Christ and which also had on it alpha, omega, which was a fitting inscription for it meant from the beginning to the very end.” - David Soren

Do YOU want to cry?

Get out destiel, anderperry is snatching this song now

so you’re trying to tell me some people still believe these are straight men? have you SEEN them try to do math??

look at these bitches

those are some mathematically challenged gays if i’ve ever seen them

neil is the epitome of no thoughts, head empty

and charlie’s just like: this is homophobic. it is homophobic that i have to do this.

(i don’t have pictures of the rest of them doing math but you get my point)

Really interesting that in a Buzzfeed article of TFATWS, Anthony Mackie wasn’t in the image they used to advertise it. Or mentioned in the caption. Despite the fact that he’s, you know, supposed to be the literal protagonist.

Here’s a theory: Cameron’s parents are Charlie’s godparents – they think that Charlie’s an angel, when, in reality, he’s far from it. Due to the boys’ closeness, they relentlessly bicker, although they mutually agreed to avoid mentioning it a lot around the others. That’s why Cameron’s betrayal hurt so much.

Can’t stop thinking about Cameron and Charlie actually being friends. Like they were roommates, do you know how much potential that has??? So, because I am on a tangent I would like to share a few thoughts:

- Charlie seems like he would be the kind of person to throw pens at Cameron when he wants his attention. So the floor is always littered in pens much to the annoyance of both of them because Cameron won’t pick them up.

-Cameron found out that Charlie could play the saxophone when Charlie would play a single, very loud note when he was too deep into studying and didn’t notice the pens bouncing off his shoulder. 

-They wear roughly the same size of shoes and when in a hurry they’ve been known to accidentally take the others and then complain about it for the rest of the day.

-The rest of the poets are tired™ of their bickering only because they know that it means nothing to either of them 

-I think I may have read this headcanon elsewhere, but them starting a podcast. 

-Their energies would balance it out so nicely, maybe do it on obscure parts of history

-Charlie would bring in snacks and brush the crumbs off his bed, into his hand, and then put them directly onto Camerons pillow. (Cameron would just take off the pillow case because he is sensible like that)

-I want Camerons parents to love Charlie, maybe they’ve met him at the first day of school assembly thing. 

-Better yet Charlie didn’t want to go home for the holidays and instead of admitting it was bothering him to the rest of the poets (and Charlie and mr.perry sounds like a nightmare for neil) Cameron just casually says that he could stay at his house for the break.

-Which creates the power duo that is camerons mom and Charlie. 

-If it was modern day they’d snapchat each other daily 

-Charlie is in the family groupchat 

I got ahead of myself, but anyway. I just love them together as friends and think it is unexplored potential.

Reasons to Stop Hating Declan Lynch

- Knew that his parents preferred his other siblings, but decided to spend time he didn’t have to to protect those siblings instead of dropping them to get revenge on his parents

- Fought with a HIT MAN and not only lasted for a good long time, but got a lot of good punches in. 

- Ronan went to church cause he saw the devil, matthew went cause hes a perfect dream bro, Declan goes to church cause hes a good christiantm 

- has an underrated but kickass girlfriend, Ashley. 

- The fact that he acts ruthless, but obviously cares about his siblings gives him “Looks like they would kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll” status. 

- “Pretend you have earbuds in”

- Also an insomniac but no one ever mentions it

- Put up with Ronans shit even though he was like, 18 and totally didn’t have to. 

- Low key really cute? Look at him
