“I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind, rise like two angels in the night and magically disappear.”

Ginger Snaps (2000) dir. John Fawcett

local faggot found grieving what once was

they need to invent a running away & never coming back that doesn’t affect your life

Blue Velvet (1986) dir. David Lynch

a single screenshot from a homosexual on Tumblr will make me want to watch a film more than any promo material a media company could ever offer

i finished Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut and this was my favorite passage, which I can't find online anywhere with the important context:

Back when we were neighbors, I asked the Warden why he never left the valley, why he didn’t get away from the prison and me and all the other ignorant young guards, and the bells across the lake and all the rest of it. He had years of leave time he had never used. He said “I would only meet more people” “You don’t like any sort of people?” I said. We were talking in a sort of joshing mode, so I could ask him that. “I wish I had been born a bird instead." he said "I wish we all had been born birds instead.”

it makes me cry
