Normal People (2020): Episode 8

new game plan called shield yourself at all times and never let anyone in . this will have no repercussions

i dont think we fully appreciate sebastian skinner, who managed to survive nikola because he literally zoned out when she was describing how she was going to strip the skin from his muscles. absolute adhd king. 

“Hello and welcome to my Tumblr. Here you probably won’t find any basic info about me like my name or what I usually like to do, but you absolutely will find all my deepest darkest secrets and emotions along with my body measurements”

The jurgen leitner hate is real

grief is so crazy like what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. does she know i loved her. i miss her so much. i catch myself doing things she used to do. i wish i could call her. i miss her so much. i do a crossword puzzle. i cry while washing the dishes. does she know i loved her? my heart feels like a hummingbird. i miss her so much. what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. what if i forget.

Last of my rate my professor jayvik doodles as of now. Viktor has a love hate relationship with his career but Jayce is there for moral support

Also the RMP post Jayce is showing Viktor probably looked something like this. He doesn't understand what these words mean in this order and honestly good for him.
