1) the french word for 'orgasm' is 'la petite mort' which is a) feminine and b) translates directly to 'a little death'
2) that scene in the adventure time miniseries stakes when princess bubblegum is talking to marceline and cradling her face and says 'i care about you... and when you die, i'm gonna be the one to put you in the ground'
3) cannibalism media and the idea that to consume someone, even in harming them, is the way you express love for them, because that's the way you get to be closest for them
3a) yellowjackets
3b) that song breezeblocks by alt j with that lyric 'please don't go ill eat you whole / please don't go i love you so'
3c) freud's distinction btwn mourning and melancholia - where mourning is where you healthily deal with a loss by realizing that the thing you lost is separate from you, and melancholia is the thing where you cant deal with a loss and internalize the thing that you lost, and in becoming that thing refuse to acknowledge its disappearance
4) crush by richard siken, specifically 'because you want die for love, you always have... you're going to die in your best friend's arms' (richard siken is my hero even though he cyber harassed me over email for two days straight)
5) how phoebe bridgers sings 'im gonna kill you but please don't beat me to it'
5a) how i listened to that song over and over after my ex friend died (ex friend and not friend bc they did some messed up stuff so much that i could have wanted to kill them but they beat me to it)

maybe the most perfect corny love song ever written. if you tell me that guitar solo doesn’t do something to you when you hear it you’re lying. straight from the heart and so saccharine it could kill you. be careful, excessive listening to Red Rose Speedway may cause the following side effects: pining, grooving, daydreaming, and toe-tapping.

every ig update reminds me of how far i am from the life i was promised. i was supposed to be working at buzzfeed making six figures writing listicles wearing those studded steve madden pumps and posting only squares with the rio dijanero filter.
every ig update is like a new gunshot to my already bleeding body. they’re useless and unwanted. idgaf about turning my feed to rectangles. show me who unfollowed me. next update is gonna be a tab with two buttons: one sucks your dick and the other shoots you in the face except you don’t know which one is which. honestly i’d rather have that instead of the rectangles. Modernity I Rebuke You.

🚶i feel like an 80s mobster. or a 19th century bachelor with an unfortunate attraction to bohemia. someone who would’ve been called a rake in those days bc i was dancing with married women and gambling and learning french instead of carrying on the bloodline or courting duchesses.

🍻stella in sips when i’m in love and happy about it. tequila in full gulps when im in love and sad about it. rum and coke when im in love and angry about it. twisted teas when im in love and trying to forget about it. sapporo when im in love and ready to be over it. vodka and club mixers when im in love and afraid of it. white wine when im in love and too proud to admit it. juneshine when im in love and ready to be poetic about it. soju for when it comes creeping back in. warm beers once it’s crept back in. unspecified beer pong potions when i’m still trying to figure out how i feel about it. i wrote this on the toilet while dressed like a 2010s scene kid. drinking smirnoff ice and trying to figure out how i feel about it.
