I don’t know what they put in the air at Home Goods, but every time I go in there it’s like I black out, my inner basic white girl takes over, and I come to in the parking lot with a bag full of fall decorations

I'm rewatching the vampire diaries again and I know there are a lot of farfetched things in this show, but honestly the only one that truly bothers me every time is how they immediately recognize people they haven't seen in 100+ years

Tell me your pet's name with a GIF.
This is one of my cats! The other cat is Annie because she was a foster fail and when I was fostering her, the shelter named her Ant. I didn't like that and called her Annie, and by the time I adopted her she already answered to it ❤️
