Eah.... why...
…couldn’t my crush just have dissipated into nothing, like they usually do?
Now it’s been replaced by warm feelings of just wanting to be closer to her. Hold her. Why did my emotions have to go and make this all complicated as fuck?
Shit :-(

Oh, for fuck’s sake.
Apparently a clutch of privileged, delusional bigots have hijacked the term “transethnic,” ensuring that us Class Bastard adoptees and foster kids encounter even MORE dismissal and confusion in public discourse.
“Transethnic,” for those who don’t know, occurs in the context of adoption. For example, a white Jewish child is adopted by non Jews. Or a...

The way Jeremy plays Holmes so completely pleased when he astonishes or delights his Watson.
It’s the cutest.
You mean like this?
YES EXACTLY LIKE THAT
Jeremy Brett, may he rest in peace, was perfection as Holmes. Love this so much.

Question on stimming

So, like, I get really bored when I try to put all my attention into absorbing something that someone else is doing. This is bad when I have, like, a lecture in class.

Here is a fun Tumblr Self-Diagnosis Fact

Whenever you see a term on Tumblr and you have no idea what it is (but someone has just diagnosed themselves with this term), google it.
If the first three sites to pop up on Google are Tumblr sites? Yeah, I’m betting not a real thing.
