katbelleinthedark @ tumblr, katbelle @ AO3, katbelinthedark @ twt
- At some point post-s3, Foggy is getting married! To the absolute kindest and best woman in the world. And Matt is his best man (sorry, Theo). Only Matt has been in love with Foggy since approximately three minutes after meeting him; it’s just that he’s never said a word. So in a romance-like turn of events he’s decided not to forever hold his peace and to tell Foggy the truth now, about two hours before Foggy is due to marry a girl Matt genuinely likes. So! Give me 5 times Matt chose not to tell Foggy he loves him + 1 one time he did (right before Foggy’s wedding). UBER BONUS POINTS if you end it with Foggy telling Matt that he loves him too and that if Matt had confessed even a month earlier, things could have been different, but now it’s too late.

To shared moments alone with you and our neighbors with thin walls, the wanting to explore the whole wide world that fight with us wanting to see what we can do with just a single room. To random truths and dares whispered in the late hours, and us staying up all night until the morning light.

- “For there are two kinds of forgiveness in the world: the one you practice because everything really is all right, and what went before is mended. The other kind of forgiveness you practice because someone needs desperately to be forgiven, or because you need just as badly to forgive them, for a heart can grab hold of old wounds and go sour as milk over them.”

I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.“ - Sarah Williams
- i gave everything to keep something i never even had in the first place’ - Rocketman (2019)
- “Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” - Aristotle
- "Understand, I am always trying to figure out
what the soul is,
and where hidden,

might be like this
so hard, so necessary
yet almost nothing.“ -Bone, Mary Oliver
- "I think, if you touch me, your hand might fall off or something. Worse things have happened to people who have touched me.” -Angels in America, Tony Kushner

- This might be weird but it’s from one of my favorite y/a novels, also it’s a long quote :)“What I told you about saving people isn’t true. You might think it is, because you might want someone else to save you, or you might want to save someone so badly. But no one else can save you, not really. Not from yourself. You fall asleep in the foothills, and the wolf comes down from the mountains. And you hope someone will wake you up. Or chase it off. Or shoot it dead. But when you realize that the wolf is inside you, that’s when you know. You can’t run from it. And no one who loves you can kill the wolf, because it’s part of you. They see your face on it. And they won’t fire the shot.“ From Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
