As Somebody Who Has Struggled With Mental Health All Of Their Life And Still Does, Jinx's Romance With

I saw everyone on twitter tearing Emma Watson apart for saying she’s self - partnered instead of single and decided to watch her interview for British Vogue to know what the hell was she trying to say with that. I was very surprised to find a 30 minute video in which amongst other things she talks about the following:

She felt undeserving when she was appointed as UN Women goodwill ambassador and sought out Gloria Steinem to learn about feminist activism.

She thinks the criticism she received for being a white feminist was useful because it made her educate herself.

She says there’s a desperate need to reform the education system in the UK to change the way they are taught the history of how Britain has been involved in foreign affairs and how they profited from slavery.

She felt anxious about approaching 30 because there’s a lot of pressure to have a husband and a baby by then and she’s still figuring her life out.

She was so young when she was casted in Harry Potter that she doesn’t remember much of her life before it and she went to therapy to deal with her issues with fame. She used to feel very guilty for being unhappy because she thought she should enjoy fame more.

The interviewer is a transgender woman and they discuss transgender issues for a while. Emma is in regular contact with a trans child which makes the topic of trans rights emotional for her because she’s very anxious for this kid’s safety.

She talks about her role as Meg March in the new Little Women movie and defends that unlike what many people say choosing to be a wife and a mother doesn’t make Meg a less feminist character and quotes a line from the movie, “Just because my dreams are different than yours it doesn’t mean they are unimportant.”  

She wishes more people would realize she’s not Hermione Granger but also understands why they want to see that in her because Hermione is a symbol for her too.

She used to think she could never be happy without a partner and now that she has learnt to navigate that better and is genuinely happy single she’s started to think of herself as self - partnered in contrast to the time when she thought of herself as single = lonely.

Every media outlet decided to focus in an out of context quote from the three minutes she talked about her dating life when the actual interview had a lot of depth and way more important things were discussed. I’m sad and angry but not surprised.

incredible how everything everywhere all at once is the best movie ever made in every genre. it’s the best comedy. the best drama. the best romance. the best action movie. the best sci-fi movie. the best movie about intergenerational trauma. the best movie about intergenerational healing. the best movie about taxes. it’s the movie of all time. it’s everything. everywhere. all at once.

I've been watching the newest episode of Gen V (Episode 5) and at around the middle where Marie and Emma are talking about Jordan I started wondering what pronouns they use for them in the German version (my native language, but I prefer to watch movies and such in their original language) cause German is a horribly gendered language so I go back and rewatch the part in German and!! they're using the neopronouns dey/dem/deren which a lot of non-binary people in Germany started using as a German version of the gender neutral English pronouns they/them and!!!! my little non-binary heart can't take this, maybe we'll actually have accepted gender neutral pronouns in German one day!!!! this is such an important first step and it makes me so happy, omg I love this show :')

oh to be a statue of a goddess covered in moss, somewhere in the garden of the enchanted ruins the castle left behind, for birds to take rest on my shoulders and for animals to sleep in front of my feet, for no ordinary humans to be reached

Now what makes Albus Dumbledore so fond of you, Mr.Scamander?

The new Clancy letter added the the website 7/18/18 it reads:

I can’t believe what I just saw. I’m still trying to understand. This whole time I was sure that I was all alone — a single soul in this vast unknown world. But a few days into this trek, I looked down to see a figure headed the same way I was. I’ve tucked myself in the caves and crevices, trying my best to keep hidden, but he was out in the open, making his exhausted journey right down the middle of the Trench. I was curious enough to follow alongside the path with him. He seemed unaffected by the fear of the unknown — the fear that tends to cripple me. To him, the terrain seemed familiar, as if he had been out here before.

While lost in my curiosity, they appeared. I had heard about them back in Dema, but to my knowledge, the stories were merely myth. Ten. twenty, and then what seemed to be a hundred Banditos appeared upon the cliffs, all looking down at him. He only stopped of a moment to look back up at them, and then continued on his way. His energy changed, and I wasn’t sure if he was frightened or encouraged by their ominous presence.

They warned him of what was about to come. It was a blur. First seeing the figure, then the Banditos, only to now have my eyes opened to the oncoming Bishop upon a white horse drawing closer in the distance.

The figure halted, and waited. When the Bishop stopped, I was sure he looked up, directly at me, so I hid deeper back in a cave. The presence of the robed rider seemed to paralyze the man. He stood still as he was approached, powerless as the outstretched hands smeared his neck. I had never seen a Bishop posses power like this. Keons had always seemed gentle and warm — this Bishop, at least out here, seemed like something else.

So I ran, and I’ve been running for as long as my legs and lungs can handle. Maybe this note will be my proof that what I witnessed was not a dream. A million questions race through my brain. Am I not the only one traveling through Trench?

I’ll travel a little farther, and maybe I’ll get a moment of rest tonight. I may have made a mistake, leaving. This spot, between two places, is beginning to feel like an endless and hopeless abyss. At least Dema is a place that I know, and at times like this, I miss a lot about what I know. This will all be much tougher than I imagined. Nothing out here is familiar. I’ve witnessed the pressure of others for the first time today, and I feel more alone than ever. Cover me.
