“i have no problem with homosexuals my best friend is one” says the tumblr user, causing angels to descend from heaven playing gorgeous harps and drape them in garlands of flowers, proclaiming them the number one gay rights activist of all time, literally incapable of homophobia, infallible and the winner of all internet arguments until the end of time, filled with the light of pure social justice righteousness, and the next coming of jesus christ himself

“If it gets around and you’re not already married every door in London will be slapped in your face.”
#this is the most heartbreaking moment of series one to me#bc she’s basically telling her daughter #’things will be better in the future but you weren’t born then so you have to play by the rules of today’ #which is basically the most horrible way of telling someone that they can never be happy #but will get to witness other people be happy as they get to grow in the changing world #this is also mary’s most overtly suffragist moment #she has such naive hope here #almost lying to herself that if she just waits things will be better for her #but the irony is that the longer she waits the only more ‘on the shelf’ she will be #the great tragedy of mary is that if she had only—literally—been born maybe 5-10 yrs later #she could have had it all rolling in the deep #w/e fuck this character #show: downton abbey#ugh mary

torture
A hot sun cracks my lips
A harsh wind scrapes at my skin
I can’t breathe
Vultures gnaw on my stomach, my liver
Worms crawl through my arteries,
Clogging up the already-useless veins.
Bile begins to rise from the pit,
Up through my gullet
The sickly heat scratches its way up my throat
And dribbles from the corner of my burning mouth
Transparent circles crowd in on my eyes
And insects crawl into my ears, dragging in sand on their feet
Mother Nature
Mother you have murdered me!
Mother how long will you torture me?
My arm falls limp to my side
And I can do nothing but
Let Nature take its everlasting toll
