I Wouldn't Normally Comment On The Met Gala Outfits Openly But. In Defence Of Elliot Page. I Feel Like

I wouldn't normally comment on the met gala outfits openly but. In defence of Elliot Page. I feel like a lot of people are missing that this is his first gala since coming out as transmasc and even without considering the green rose in his lapel (an obvious dual oscar wilde green carnation and prom flower reference), his outfit Yells "teen trans boy's first prom suit, borrowed/bought a size too large because it was the smallest available". The obviously overlong sleeves. The cut of the jacket collar. The overlong suit pants. The massive chunky black sneakers. The massive green rose in his lapel.

There's no way it isn't an intentional exaggeration of the young american transmasc experience. He understood the assignment, you all just aren't understanding him

Really interesting that in a Buzzfeed article of TFATWS, Anthony Mackie wasn’t in the image they used to advertise it. Or mentioned in the caption. Despite the fact that he’s, you know, supposed to be the literal protagonist.

Suggestions on how to celebrate your own birthday

eat chocolates and truffles for breakfast

wear that one perfume that’s too decadent, too extravagant for daytime - wear as much of it as you want

pick a volume of poetry. how old are you turning? read as many poems and consider what you can learn from them for the next year - not necessarily regarding morals and deeper meaning. take in the grace and beauty of the words, enjoy their melody

at night, turn off the lights and dance with your moonlit shadow

scatter roses in your own path

enjoy the selfless hedonism of your childhood - play, read, dance and dream wholeheartedly

look at art - in a museum, ideally, but books etc will work as well. recognise yourself in a gesture, a nose, a thought expressed in an arrangement of fruit. recognise that just like those pieces of art depict humans and were made by humans, you are art.

look at your own reflection. fall in love a little.

write down how you’d like to be 12 months from now. be specific, visualise your ideal self. reread those visions once a month.

wear your favourite lipstick. kiss your own wrist. (a lover’s token, a promise)

take every step with grace, feel roses woven in your hair and gold dripping from your fingertips

indulge in sensual luxuries

write a love letter to yourself, to be opened on your next birthday

even if you don’t have the time or the means for grand gestures - treat every little thing you do today as a gift to yourself.

feel the centre of your universe shift, ever so slightly, until the sun rises for you.

todd anderson, 1959 (dead poets society)

mr. anderson, 1998 (the perks of being a wallflower)

after having his life changed by an english teacher, todd decided to pursue the same career, hoping to inspire younger generations the same way he was inspired with the beauty that words confine.

For the sake of updating this?? I did. A postage stamp with a peach on it :) Postage stamp because of the postcards, peach for obvious reasons, little 11¢, and then put it on my ribs... Most English major thing I've ever done ngl

And if I get a peach tattoo because Jeans pure happiness at having a peach (and him hiding it for later) brought me to tears, then what??
