Listen. Cut your own hair. Dye it blue, then shave it off when you’re bored of it. Wear that outfit with those shoes. Paint your nails with all the colors of the rainbow. Get that tattoo. Go to the movies alone. Get coffee, then drink it at that special place you like. Mouth the words of the song you’re listening to on public transport. Put that thing on your wall. Bake. Draw. Dance in your underwear. Life is so much better when you don’t give a fuck
i know i should be going to sleep but listen shakespeare establishes full well that the roman suicide was done by SWORD (in macbeth with the quote “why should I play the roman fool, and die / on mine own sword?” and julius caesar with the stage direction: “runs on his sword”) and shakespeare also establishes full well that the lovers’ suicide was done by POISON (it’s literally romeo and juliet) so what the FUCK does that say about hamlet and horatio
I think my favourite fact about the elder scrolls oblivion is that the reason the voice acting sounds soooooo disjointed is because the VA’s were given their lines in alphabetical order.
i don’t think people understand that people can ‘love’ you and not actually love you
like my grandmother ‘loved’ me, but she also was always trying to change me. she tried to take me away from my (catholic bisexual) mother. she made me wear dresses when i was there. she always tried to get me to go to church and was always asking me if i was dating a boy yet
i spent years feeling guilty that i wasn’t what she wanted me to be until my mom told me one day “she never bothered to know the real you”
and it’s true. any time i tried to show her something about myself, even cook for her, it would be dismissed, and a replacement would be offered. even northern food was somehow a sin.
she loved me what she thought i should be, she never loved me.
bc people who love you, they love you for all the stuff that makes you you. they never consider that it makes you inconvenient.
“It was true: the other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold.“
Loving someone like a prized possession is a very different thing from loving someone like a person you care about.
Once I read a thing that said Roger’s range is so high that sometimes people mistake him for a guitar and now whenever there’s a guitar solo I just picture Roger in the background fuckinf sCREAMING and it makes me cry shjdnfkdnfk
Yes! At first everyone mistook his high notes for a synth even though Queen had a no-synth policy throughout the seventies. There’s also a note in Somebody to Love after Freddie sings “I ain’t gonna face no defeat” that totally sounds like guitar but it’s Roger singing “yeah”. That’s my frame of reference for Roger as the guitar (the Blond Special?) in Queen from now on. Don’t know if it’s right to picture Brian holding Roger while he screams tho.
i HATE when a woman character is oversexualized and people are like “it’s her CHOICE as a woman to wear makeup and a push-up bra as body armor!!” like ????
do y’all realize that characters aren’t real? that someone like wonder woman did not “decide” to wear a miniskirt and heels? someone else, a creator, a designer, chose that?
like black widow is not a real person. she’s not “empowering” herself by wearing a tight leather suit with a bunch of cleavage showing. she’s playing into a fantasy.
somewhere down the line, a real life human being is making the decision for the female character in question to be oversexualized. that’s not a character “reclaiming” anything. that’s some guy in charge being horny on set. and that guy is probably joss whedon.
ok so the other day i was at sears. I was in the baby section. Im standing there looking at clothes and a lady who works there comes up and is like “oh are you expecting?” And i was like “uhhhh” and because im a dumbass i was like “no i already delivered.” And she was like “How long ago?” And i was just like “two weeks.” And she said “wow! You look great! When i had my first son, i looked like a mess for six months. Is it a boy or a girl?” And i was just awkwardly like “a girl….” And she asked her name and i said Chernobyl and she was like “oh what a cute name! It sounds really familiar.” And i honestly just stood there going through all that and pretending i had a human baby two weeks ago named Chernobyl because i didnt wanna tell this poor lady i was buying baby clothes for my fucking baby opossum
every time i see this text post i forget the ending and every single time it decimates me
