Me Fangirling About My Ships

this bird is what I mean when I say I wanna be a pretty boy

Little women (both the 2019 movie and the book) brilliantly capture very specific emotions and situations. These are some of my favorites:

That feeling you get when you start thinking about all the people you’ve turned down romantically because you knew you didn’t and could never love them but now… YOU’RE SO LONELY! so you torment yourself thinking you were stupid, too stubborn, too quick to say no, that maybe conforming wouldn’t be as bad as this growing, menacing loneliness.

That lost feeling of possibility. When you were young everything was exciting and fun and the future was unknown and full of infinite possibilities. You felt like your chest could burst at any minute from all that restless, blind hope. But now you’re older, and you LIVE in that future, and… there’s nothing in it. All you want to do is go back to a specific moment in which you were particularly happy, be held by it and stay there forever.

The painful truth that maybe you’re not as good at something as you thought you were. Realizing that you’re good at many things but you don’t particularly stand out in any of them. Maybe you’re just average and you have to make peace with it.

If you don’t dream or do things outside of your familiar environment, of what you know, of what you’re comfortable with; you’ll stay in the same place forever. And yes, maybe you tell yourself that that’s what you really want but… is it? or you’re just afraid to try something different?

Some people will pretend to want the best for you but the truth is, behind every “kindness” or “well meaned comment”, there’s malice and envy (@Meg’s friends). You have to stand up for yourself, be true to who you are and don’t spend energy trying to impress people who take joy in your misfortunes.  

I commissioned the extremely talented @emmilinne to create art of Albus and Scorpius based on Sam and Anthony, and she did. :D It’s so lovely. She’s wonderful.

The Queen and The King are both beautifully doomed by narrative

tired of nonbinary people being pressured to be thin hairless elf like pretty and always depicted as white afab skinny kids with blue hair, of course only using they/them. give me nonbinary people who are heavily fem/masc aligned!! give me nonbinary people who use neopronouns and xenogenders!! give me fat nonbinary people!! hairy nonbinary people!! nonbinary POC!! amab nonbinary people!! disabled nonbinary people!! nonbinary people who wear crazy clothes, or nonbinary people who don’t stand out and don’t feel the need to!! nonbinary people with names like Moss or Socks, or nonbinary people with “regular” names like Susan or James or something!! Give me every flavor of nonbinary people, and stop trying to make it into yet ANOTHER gender binary!! Nonbinary can be anything, not just a third gender to adhere to!!

and if you turn to ur left you’ll see the emos
