May you receive what your heart desires

Never let someone’s negativity affect your positivity.

Return all bad things to their place of origin.

May you be blessed 😇

To an online bully:

Stop assuming wrong things about other people’s lives when you know absolutely nothing and have absolutely no proof or evidence.

You are misinterpreting random things to your own delusions and you are believing in false narratives.

You need to stop inventing shit because you’ve been convincing yourself of things that aren’t even happening in reality.

Don’t make things up. Do yourself a favor and quit believing in your own distorted lies.

When you don’t know something, you don’t wildly and falsely speculate. You shut up.

Self-care days are self-love.

Allow yourself to relax, treat yourself like you would do to someone you really care about, be kind to yourself.

Devoting a little time to care for yourself is essential for your well-being.

Enjoy some well-deserved free time

i’m not pro-ship or anti-ship i am simply anti-censorship. i also believe that the owner of an online space can choose what they allow to be uploaded to that space. these are thoughts that can coexist.

“Father, I am very cold in your rooms; why don’t you have a carpet here and a stove?” “Dear child, there are so many people who are better than I and who have not even a roof over their heads.” “Then why is there a fire in my rooms, and everything that is needed?” “Because you are a woman and a child.” “Bah! must men be cold and feel uncomfortable?” “Certain men.”

This is particularly awful because I refuse to believe that Valjean would want ANYONE OTHER THAN HIMSELF to feel cold and uncomfortable. (He’d probably admire anyone who did it for reasons of Religious Martyrdom but k can’t imagine he’d be happy about it. Why do you choose to be what you are, Valjean?? (via missellamason)

It makes me sad to think of how in M-s-M he still allowed himself these comforts of carpets and stove and food, only to fall into this self-destructive spiral of guilt and abnegation in Paris. Obviously it’s the Convent that sent him down that path–I mean, Hugo makes it quite explicit:

Jean Valjean had been, unconsciously, perhaps, tolerably near that side and that bridge, when Providence cast his lot in the convent of the Petit-Picpus; so long as he had compared himself only to the Bishop, he had regarded himself as unworthy and had remained humble; but for some time past he had been comparing himself to men in general, and pride was beginning to spring up.[…] The convent stopped him on that downward path.    

Only I think Hugo does a really really terrible job of actually writing such a thing.There’s no pride visible in Valjean’s actions in M-s-M, and in fact I do believe that it would be a good thing if Valjean had found a way to let go of his shame and his self-loathing and been able to realize that he is a good person doing good things there. And moreover, later in Paris, the way depression makes him turn that self-abnegation as a weapon against himself until he basically commits suicide via starvation is neither healthy nor good, no matter what Hugo claims. In a way the convent sets him on that downward path by placing him into a world ruled by little else than the concepts of sin, guilt and reparation which reinforces his shame and self-hatred, and also closes him off from that outside world where he had been able to affect positive change that might have in time taught him to let go of his shame.

And obviously I love the Jean Valjean we get in canon, who makes such terribly hard choices and never forgives himself while forgiving basically everyone else… But sometimes I wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t gone to the convent. Hugo claims that his “pride” (which he failed to show us) might have spiraled down back to hate, but why and how? Isn’t it just as (or probably even more than) possible that Valjean would have learned to feel a small amount of self-worth instead and continued trying to be the best person he can be?

This is… really more of a plotbunny than anything else, I guess: Imagine Valjean spending those years in a kinder convent, with less of a focus on reparation and self-abnegation. Or spending them with another Bishop-figure. (And then running into Javert again because I will never not ship it and my heart loves the thought of a healthier Valjean suddenly having to face his past and his old doubts and shame again with Javert’s return. ;_;)

I think what this really means is that I’m fascinated by what I guess is some sort of equivalent of an early derailment for Valjean. It takes the themes and questions of the usual Post-Seine redemption arc, where through their love they learn eventually to forgive themselves, and extricates them from a romance narrative. So what that story really is about is the individual struggle, and then, on that base of a Valjean who has slowly learned to forgive himself, there comes the meeting with Javert which would threaten all the progress Valjean has made. So you would have a Valjean who has started to believe that he is not awful just because he’s an ex-con, and then comes Javert who thinks that obviously Valjean is the worst!!! and that brings out all his old issues, only he has learned to deal with them in a way that does not involve starving himself to death. It would of course also need to involve a plotline where Javert realizes that Valjean is in fact not to the worst, and obviously would not involve drowning himself to deal with that.

This is… the plot for a novel. Which I hope someone else might one day write because I’m not picking up anything that long ahaha. But. I want so many canon divergences. I want all of them. <3

Jin’s dad being a CEO should not come out as a shock, we always knew he came form a good family, his prince like looks aside , he is very well mannered , his favorite sports are tennis, golf, snow boarding (aka rich people sports ) he has attended a prestigious university , traveled abroad few times before bangtan, even in the pics he posts of his dog you can see that his family lives in a spacious house. He possesses some kind of class all the time with out even trying.

all of this makes me respect him even more, instead of acting snobbish and being like “I’m too good for this” he just entered an unknown small company, lived in a simple one bedroom dorm with six strangers , went through all of bangtan’s financial struggles while being with them, worked his ass off with out complaining .this man was raised good.respect👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

ummm blehhhhConsidering the entire half life series basically takes place over the course of around.. probably 5-6 days from Freeman's eyes, there is a very high likelihood that if the Resonance Cascade never happened, at around the same time Freeman was watching an Advisor suck out the brains of his former colleague and close friend Gordon would have been enjoying his weekend after a monotonous work week in the lab. Around the time he brought about the end of the Nihilanth's species by singlehandedly slaying its only remaining specimen he would've probably been clocked out and fast asleep. While evading his first Metrocop pursuit he would've probably been preparing for another busy workday analysing samples. By the time he would have wandered the arctic he would've been riding the tram. Do I need to keep going
