i hate it when people ship weak men with strong women and i mean “weak” in a sense that these men are terrified of the power their female love interest holds.
They shame these women for being so strong, they tell these women that their newfound powers have changed them and turned them dark. That these powers have destroyed the so called notion of “innocence” these men had regarding the female characters. And in some cases these women even alter themselves to confirm to their male partners desire.
Stefan and Tyler just liked Caroline better when she was there for them and solely them and admired her only for her “goodness” the moment she turned a little dark or got a little sexually independent she was suddenly a slut and too “neurotic”
(disclaimer: i love stefan its steroline that bothers me)
why let death stop you from being bffs? necromancy for angry young girls
unfortunate that the united states has been very successful at controlling narratives around word war 2 and positioning itself as the polar opposite of nazism and the main force fighting fascism when america was complicit in the holocaust. not only did american press report positively about hitler and the nazi party up until the end of the 30′s, some publications cooperated with nazi germany, american companies had investments and connections to nazi germany that they maintained until american involvement in the war, and companies like ibm in particular gave nazis the technology necessary to make the holocaust possible in the first place. some company owners themselves had nazi sympathies like henry ford and others just saw it as a business opportunity. the us denied entry to european jewish refugees and deported jewish refugees back to germany, many senators and other government officials during the 1930s openly supported nazism and worked to prevent the us from taking a side in ww2, and during the 30s large pro nazi rallies were held across the us. american eugenics movement, american race laws and american genocide set the model for the holocaust and there shouldnt be any discussion of nazism and the holocaust without also discussing the extent of american complicity in it.
anyways heres some material on it
ibm and the holocaust
hitlers american friends
ap press cooperation with nazis

i don't get people who hate euphoria but love skins. at least euphoria has pretty colours. at least it isn't british.
“Do you wanna know how I feel?
I feel fucking terrible.
I could cry every minute.
I feel shit and all I can do is - feel it” - Naomi, Skins
I like the shows about women going through gradual breakdowns because I feel like it maps out the course of my own gradual breakdown. It’s uncomfortable but I feel like my hands being held through this
i thought everyone was kind of, a little bit... exaggerating. i had been in love, but it wasn't like that. the world was still just-the-world. the sky was lovelier next to them, yes, but love wasn't the awe i had heard about. it was deft and sly and beautiful - but i was sort of privately scornful of true love as a concept. i thought that poets are often full of drama - i'm a poet, after all. all the crying and sighing and world-shifting. i thought - nobody actually loses their appetite, nobody actually gets butterflies. people like to believe they're in love a lot, and the placebo effect will do things to you. no wonder other people lost sleep - i thought: well, that makes sense for them, but it is not going to happen for me.
and then i met her. and then it was real, and i knew something had opened that could never go back to sleep.
this is who i want to be but i cant stfu
