“Explain to me again why we need them,” Carolina said with a sigh.
“Fuck if I know,” Tucker said with a shrug. “The orange one drives shit, but he’s also allergic to doing things. Like, doing anything. The maroon one explains shit until no one actually cares what he’s talking about. Their…
The tag #i want to be able to write these characters better
Does not jive when your story has the sentence:
“But every time we go on a mission with a freelancer, we almost die anyway. So it’s die now and at peace, or die later doing work.”
Seriously it’s so Grif it hurts. Please write more red team buffoonery.
Seriously
Hahahaha <3
Grif is always the one I feel I have the least amount of grip on, so thank you :)
“You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.
And at one point you’d hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.
And you’ll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they’ll be comforted to know your energy’s still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you’re just less orderly. Amen.” —

“I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because ‘romantic’ doesn’t mean ‘sugary.’ It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.”

Reblog if it's okay to befriend you, ask questions, ask for advice or just have a nice chat.
About anything and everything!
“A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.” —William Butler Yeats (via watchingtrainsgoby)

My day has been a series of really high ups and really low downs.
Seriously. “Yay, someone likes my art!”
“Oh shit, my car is no longer at the repair garage because the insurance took it to be totaled but my licence plates are still on there.”
“Yay, someone likes my art! Friends! Sherlock!”
“<insert parents being parents. take into account that I haven’t spent this much time at home in the past three years. proceed to tear out my hair>”
Now I will go dance. Soon. Soon there will be dancing and lack of worry and then I will come back home to tumblr and art and drawings and logic and happy or so help me god/diety/whatever, I will end the life of some unsuspecting inanimate object. I will smother a pillow with another pillow until my brain makes sense again and doesn’t hurt.
Or maybe I’ll just watch random RvB episodes, I don’t know.

You know I don’t think I’ve told you within the last week that your fics are perfect
<3 Thank you for the inspiration for this, like, weeks ago. :D (sorry it took so long)
I swear Carolina has a bottomless pit of patience for these idiots.
