“I wish I knew how to quit you, Tumblr.”

“Finishing a book is bittersweet. You spend days getting to know the characters. Learning their nuances, their faults, their loves, their lives. They become your friends, acquaintances, enemies. And after the story ends, you miss them. You look for them in your own life, wonder where they’ve gone, you forget that they aren’t real. You fall in love with the hero and dream of him at night. The strange girl becomes your best friend. Their heartaches become your heartaches. You laugh when they laugh. And cry when they die. Eventually you realise they aren’t a part of your world, you were just briefly visiting theirs.”
― Whimsical Enlightenment

“i overthink.
i overlove.

“Sometimes you go through things that seem huge at the time, like a mysterious glowing cloud devouring your entire community. While they're happening, they feel like the only thing that matters and you can hardly imagine that there's a world out there that might have anything else going on. And then the glow cloud moves on. And you move on. And the event is behind you. And you may find, as time passes, that you remember it less and less. Or absolutely not at all, in my case.”
― Welcome to Night Vale

“You were the hardest year of my life and I’ve never been so happy. What does that say about me?”

Some days I could fly and feel very happy. I record those days in my journal for I know that I will feel very sad again. And I need proof that I will be very happy again. Thankfully, I feel very happy tonight. Goodnight.”
― Juansen Dizon, I Am The Architect of My Own Destruction

“I whispered to my heart “Is everything meaningless?”

“It doesn’t really matter,” It smiled. “Nothing matters.”
― Juansen Dizon, I Am The Architect of My Own Destruction

“You & Me

I will always
be glad
for the moments
we’ve shared
and for the moments
we still have to share.

Waking up next to you
is a miracle:

Your skin; My skin
Your eyes; My eyes
Your hair; My fingers
Your paintings; My poems
Your piercings; My tattoos
Your overfeeling mind; My overthinking heart
Your fart in the middle of the night; My uncontainable laughter
Your soft yawn when you woke up;
My lips kissing your soul back to sleep;
My head on your chest;

Listening to the heart that taught me it’s okay to feel again.”
― Juansen Dizon, I Am The Architect of My Own Destruction

“don’t work yourself to the point of a mental breakdown. give priority to your mental health. you are only a few steps away from completely losing your balance and breaking your mind. take one step back every time you take two steps forward. breathe. be mindful. see through life as it transpires moment by moment. learn when to rest. sleep is important. eating healthily is important. everything you do for the sake of your sanity is important. being kind to your mind is the best self-care there is. if there’s anything that’s lovely about you, it is your mind.”
― Juansen Dizon, I Am The Architect of My Own Destruction

“The Internet is a fad that is full of Tumbling and children who write explicit fan fiction pornography based upon my boyfriend’s books. They should be outside playing with pinecones or hula hoops or whatever it is children do these days, not talking about a fictional threesome that will never happen.”
― T.J. Klune, How to Be a Movie Star

“The thing is, preaching apologies becomes like the repetitive tick of a clock after so long. It dissolves into purposeless background noise. The faith of them wanes with every new confession. [He] may plate the phrase 'I'm sorry' in gold when it comes to hearing it from you, but when is he going to realize--after five years of spouting such an expression of regret--that, to you, actions are worth diamonds and clemency? That words said more than once reduce their worth, like a coin losing its shine with every new touch?”
― Tessa Vankoya

“i am both
the sacrificial lamb and the executioner.

the one screaming and the angel of death”
― Bilal Al-Shams

“When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What's heaven to a woman's love anyway? What's God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that's a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone's right about us and we're sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what's God to a woman's love anyway? What has heaven got that I can't find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?”

“Quando sentirai la mia mancanza indossa questa perché, come dici tu, profuma di me.”
― Anastasia Blake, Devil May Cry

“Non sapevo esattamente cosa spinge due persone a legarsi. Forse la sintonia, gli sguardi o quei “non ti voglio vedere” che in realtà significavano “muoio dalla voglia di vederti di nuovo”. Sapevo solo che i treni che ti cambiano la vita passano, ma non li aspetti, li conduci e io ero ancora alla prima stazione.”
― Anastasia Blake, Devil May Cry

“Were the future leaders of the United States who had won coveted tickets to the highest echelons of the neoliberal meritocracy — the ones who were supposed to take over the newspapers, high political offices, and corporations — really demonstrating in the quads not about the military-industrial complex, wealth inequality, or America's endless foreign wars, but cosplay?”
― Dale Beran, It Came from Something Awful: How a Toxic Troll Army Accidentally Memed Donald Trump into Office

“The multimodality and multivocality of Tumblr blur the lines between feminist and fannish communities on the site, producing a cultural formation in which feminist, or ‘social justice’, politics are increasingly, although not exclusively, central to the operation of media fandom on Tumblr ... This is central to the formation of what I call ‘feminist fandom’, and Tumblr has subsequently secured a reputation for its users’ in-depth analysis of representational politics and social issues ... It is here, then, that we can situate media fandom on Tumblr at the juncture between popular feminism, popular culture, and digital culture ... Throughout this book, I use the term ‘feminist fandom’ to describe the messy entanglement of fannish and feminist identities, discourses, and practices.”
― Briony Hannell, Feminist Fandom: Media Fandom, Digital Feminisms, and Tumblr

“Throughout [this] book, I have drawn upon the insights and experiences of over three-hundred feminist fans to explicate how fannish and feminist modes of cultural consumption, production, and critique are increasingly converging, opening up informal, ordinary, and everyday spaces for young people, in particular although not exclusively, to engage with feminism. In doing so, I have emphasized that media fandom does not exist in a vacuum but is constituted by the same social, cultural, and political forces that have come to shape fourth-wave feminisms. In turn, the experiences documented throughout Feminist Fandom
speak to the ways in which broader shifts within feminist practice, theory, and activism over the past decade have shaped and informed the social and cultural practices of feminist fandom.”
