chilean poet, pedagogue, lesbian, rebel, gabriela mistral, who should be remembered not only as an female icon of chilean literature (as opposition of neruda, who was a rapist, abuser and dead beat father) but as a woman who loved another woman, despite being forced in a asexual box by men who couldn't accept such an incredible woman not being straight.
the woman who gained a nobel in literature, who wasn't appreciated by her own country because she was a woman.
I remember her, today and ever.

Bucky Barnes x reader
You get your grumpy old man a smartphone. Chaos ensues.
.
.
.
Bucky suspiciously inspected the black rectangle between his fingers. âThatâs not the phone I had in mind.â Of course, he had probably been thinking of a damn rotary phone when you suggested he needed something to keep in touch with people. You knew he had this weird relationship with modern technology, he was very wary of everything electronic and if he didnât get the hang of it immediately he would just get frustrated. On the other hand, if he was able to figure it out himself he was openly proud of it, telling you how easy it was. You always had to walk the fine line between something enhanced enough that it was actually useful these days and simple enough that he wouldnât become grumpy and pout about it while talking your ear off at how âthe simpler timesâ were called that for a reason.
A Smartphone was very very risky. Sure, you couldâve found an old flip phone or a Nokia brick but those things just hadnât survived the test of time and according to your very professional opinion as his partner and self-proclaimed emotional support nuisance, this man desperately  needed to stay in contact with the few people he would call his friends.
Despite your worry you put on your most supportive smile and turned the phone in his hand so he held it right side up. âTry it at least, okay? Itâs cool.â You tried to assure him. He didnât have to do a lot, you already set it up for him and downloaded all the apps you deemed necessary, helpful or fun, you even turned on the accessibility option so he could navigate his phone with one hand since the metal one wouldnât work on a screen and would probably also leave scratches, so all that was left for him was to explore his new toy. You guided his pointer finger to the side of the phone and let him press the little button which made the screen turn on. Bucky gave you an unsure glance before turning his attention back to the phone in his hand and just kindaâŚstared at it until the screen turned off again. For a moment you didnât know what was going on until you realized that with Bucky, specificity was key. You shook your head to shoo away the previous confusion his behavior caused and shuffled closer to him. âDo it again.â You encouraged him. Buckyâs brows furrowed slightly.
Oh no.
You held your breath, waiting for him to potentially hand the phone right back to you and suggesting that writing letters would be enough. After what felt like a minute he finally pressed the button again and you quietly released your breath. âGreat! Now you just need to drag your thumb gently over the screen and youâre good to go.â Bucky slowly followed your instructions and you could practically feel the pride radiating off him, his eyes lighting up. Still, he tried to play it cool. âHuh. That was easy.â
Not specific enough.
You looked at your phone and tried to make out what exactly Bucky had sent you. It mustâve been a picture of his face, right? You thought you could see the brown of his hair in this blurry mess but on the other hand it could also beâŚmaybe a bowl of chocolate cereal? Some Chili, maybe? No, there was definitely too little red for it to be Chili.
The man recently learned how to text like a normal person, more or less, but you didnât know he also kind of figured out how to send pictures. His picture moved upwards when another blurry mess appeared in your chat. You squinted your eyes at the new picture, it was mostly white with some grey stripe in the middle. You gave up, no way you could figure out what the hell that one was.
BuckyâŚwhat is that? You typed out. The next message he sent you gave you move questions than answers.
I need a new phone. That was impossible, his smartphone was less than three days old. Sure, it couldâve cracked but you were sure he wouldâve told you about that.
Whatâs wrong with your phone? Maybe I can help? You suggested. You didnât have to wait for an answer too long.
Yes, please. You quietly chuckled to yourself, half amused by his struggles, half compassionate of them. You decided it would be best to talk to him face to face so you raked your fingers through your hair a few times to hide the fact that youâve been hanging around in your bed for the last few hours and clicked the video call option on your screen. It rang and rang andâŚrangâŚuntil finally your screen lit up, or dulled down because all you could see was darkness with a touch of a chestnut color. You shouldâve known that this would happen.
âBucky, itâs a video call.â You informed him and watched as he pulled the phone away from his ear and instead looked at his screen, his brows furrowed like he always did when he lost a fight against technology. âOhâŚâ He grumbled.
âSo, whatâs wrong with your phone?â Bucky pressed his lips together, his eyes looking anywhere but at his phone.
âBucky?â You asked, raising an eyebrow. Bucky let out a sigh and wiped his face with his right hand but you could see the slight blush forming on the apples of his cheeks.
âWas anyone going to tell me that there are two cameras? Why the hell would anyone need two?â You saw him lean against the headrest and turn his head to the side with an annoyed expression. Your heart melted a little bit, you couldnât help but find it endearing at how clueless he was when it came to things that were common knowledge to you.
âJames, stop pouting.â There was a tone of amusement in your voice even though you tried to feign sternness. Buckyâs head shot back towards where he could see you on the screen in his hand and blinked a few times as if he was trying to comprehend what you just said. You never really called him by his first name and his reaction made you clench your jaw and hold your breath so you wouldnât burst out laughing.
âDonât do that.â
âDo what?â You asked innocently and batted your lashes towards your camera. Bucky narrowed his eyes but couldnât suppress the little smile that was tugging on the corners of his mouth. You grinned triumphantly, happy that you could at least lighten his mood a little bit. âAlright, alright, Iâm sorry.â You finally said and playfully scrunched your nose. âSo was that it? Did you have a problem taking pictures because you tried to take them with the outer camera?â Buckys smile slightly faltered but he chuckled nonetheless.
âYeah, I guess. Sorry to be a bother with all theâŚyou know, modern stuff, I-â You cut him off immediately. âDonât you dare apologize for that, youâre still learning and Iâm happy to help. Hey, Iâm very proud of you for making it work with the phone.â Bucky rolled his eyes good-naturedly but you could see his eyes soften. âI try.â
You continued talking to him for a while about nothing in particular until you decided that you both needed some rest and hung up. It was merely twenty minutes later, you just settled down and closed your eyes when your phone vibrated. A message from Bucky. You curiously opened the message to see if he had any more problems but instead your lips curled into a big, bright smile.
He sent you a picture, this time you could fully make out what it was, a photo of a shirtless Bucky laying on his couch, his eyes crinkled as he wore a proud grin with the caption I figured it out!

It's the fact that frank castle doesn't love himself and he thinks he deserves to be alone for the bad things/actions he did in the past and continues to do but he didn't realize yet that he needs and fucking deserves to be with someone who loves him and appreciate him for what he is. What really strikes me is the concept of found-family that works so well for this character: he found, across his path, a new family (after loosing his real one) and yet he doesn't want to have anyone around him bc he thinks he doesn't deserve it bc in the end is a serial killer, a monster that should be banished and punished for what he's done. He's too evil to deserve amazing people in his life who genuinely cares for him. Even if he decides he's worthy enough to get close to anyone, he doesn't want to get emotionally invested in this. If he let his guard down for a moment, bad things might happen to his new family and he'll be devasted and probably would never recover from that. That's why frank pushes everyone who shows the slightest interest in him (es. karen) away bc he's scared of the person he has become and doesn't want to corrupt the only good thing that has ever happend to him, that is to say karen.
In this essay i will explain why kastle is a metaphor of "the beauty and the beast"...
So I really want a scene of one of the Flerkittens (white with blue eyes) to be wandering around the street meowing and then we see boots coming up to it and two hands reach out and then you see it.
The metal arm.
It picks up the kitten and walks off, maybe if you're feeling really fancy maybe a few lines of quiet "hey, hey, it's okay Sweetheart" or something like that and then BOOM we have Alpine in the MCU
Then cut to Thunderbolts and Bucky still has no idea that Al is a Flerken until they're in a fight and she gets attacked and Bucky is terrified they're gonna hurt his cat and then Alpine just gobbles them up and then like Yelena is like "JAMES BARNES WHAT THE FUCK"... Cut to Bucky looking equal parts horrified and impressed and just picks up Alpine and goes "uh...good girl?"
