Virginia Woolf, From A Letter To Violet Dickinson, Featured In The Selected Letters Of Virginia Woolf

From a little zine I made :)

I've proven myself, haven't I?

found this at my local library and i think the library just fagged it up and dyked it out real fast we are lezzing together now

so excited to start t and have people go “i guess i’m not that woke…” when i say im a lesbian too

michiru is performing too!

subtle intimacy is so soft. knowing someone’s routine and slowly becoming a part of it. memorising favourite teas and soups and drink orders. good morning and good night texts and messy paragraphs of love written half asleep. nicknames only you know. just small things that say “look how dear you are to me.”

what I really like about all these vintage couple’s portraits is that there is a very certain romatic decorum kept up – certain themes and poses – which, while of course being the mainstream preferred view of couples repeated throughout many studios, are just… so nice to look at. 

this staged affection, a mix of theatricality and intimacy, the couple holding still for a couple of moments and now immortalised in a very set sequence of embraces and kisses. there is a charm to it even when I can’t tell whether this was a genuine couple portait or just actors hired by the photographer.

the kiss on the bare shoulder (eyes perfectly averted), the cheek caress, the piano and the violin, the interrupted embrace, the woman tilted back as in a half-stopped dance…

need to mark a butch with lipstick marks all over their face
