Ieatstories - Quiet Life

i am so determined to fall more in love with life. intentionally romanticising the walks i am on, the birds chirping, the blooming nature around me, the water in my cup of tea turning from a light peach tone to a dark pink, the poetry i write, the things i am learning, my handwriting, dozing off while sitting in front of my window, all of it and more. I have to take a closer look at the little things that make my heart beat faster.

Keira Knightley in her period dramas is everything I aspire to be and more. 🙏

Oh wow.

there's something in these pictures that makes me feel calm

HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT?! ARE YOU WATCHING ME RIGHT NOW?! Are we all the same fcking person?! What is happening?!

Margaret Atwood: femininity is a performance art course you will never graduate from and man is your audience

me: holy shit

the small but growing Mitski on my shoulder: femininity might be a performance art we will never be free of, but because you are aware of this, sometimes you will seek to perform only for yourself and no one else, and by that, we are starting to break free

me, sobbing: thank you, Mitski of my consciousness

This is my reminder to make a photoshoot of this kind. God, I need my tripod. 🙏🙏

Honestly, it was worse than Game of Thrones. It really was. I can't believe this ending isn't just a some kind of a collective bad fever dream.

Let's check the prognostic made by the writers on the spn finale:

Like if you're part of the 30% that liked it

Reblog if you're part of the 70% that didn't like it

I'm curious to see the results.

i hate that elain most likely thinks that lucien is some desperate male that she needs to avoid at all costs, as if it isn't glaringly obvious to most readers that lucien doesn't want the mating bond any more than she does. he's still trying to make it work because that's his gender role in regards to the bond and that's just who he is, but he's more than aware that elain doesn't want him and he doesn't want her beyond the force of the bond either. he feels like he's being forced into a romance that doesn't exist as much as she does. and no, i don't think elain owes anyone her kindness and time, but it's super inconvenient and hurtful to lucien when they're both dealing with the same issue, only lucien is under a stronger effect of the bond. he's having a harder time ignoring the bond than she is, and i bet he envies her for being able to get over it so easily. i bet all he wants is to be able to move on but he literally can't. i feel like a lot of criticisms of elain are rooted in outright misogyny, but if i have to be upset at her for anything, it's for not having a little compassion/understanding for someone going through the same problem as her (i fully expect her to have a thorough conversation to lucien about this in her book, though).

I have never in my life wanted to get to know stars, the night sky or anything related to astronomy. Space was never something I was interested in. But this is so beautiful and interesting, I can’t even look away.

Sometimes… there’s more than meets the eye. 👀 You’re looking at two very different takes on an iconic image. ⁣

Human eyes can see only a small portion of the range of radiation given off by the objects around us. We call this wide array of radiation the electromagnetic spectrum, and the part we can see visible light.

In the first image, researchers revisited one of Hubble Space Telescope’s most popular sights: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. Here, the pillars are seen in infrared light, which pierces through obscuring dust and gas and unveil a more unfamiliar — but just as amazing — view of the pillars. ⁣ ⁣ The entire frame is peppered with bright stars and baby stars are revealed being formed within the pillars themselves. The image on the bottom is the pillars in visible light.
