[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

You’ve been driving down that same road
Road rage in your eyes
So won’t you come down from the ceiling
Won’t you hear my cries
Won’t you hear my cries

Writing again

❝
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists… it is real… it is possible… it’s yours.
— Ayn Rand

Story length: 1 ova
Genre: Drama
Character: The smartass
Lover: The troll
Climax: Your straight friend accidentally kisses you

It’s like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, but I’m… Itsuki and… I love Haruhi but accidentally get kissed by Kyon. Then I become Haruhi God. Four stars, beautiful story.

mazarinette:

Key guns, 1600s

‘Jailers’ keys were apparently filled with gun powder to create a primitive gun that could be detonated if there was any trouble when opening a cell door. We found several original versions that back up this claim, dating from the 17th century and of various complexity.’
