Me Reading Enemies To Lovers Fics In 2012

Kaizoku Oujo // Episode 8

“She loves the wolf. She does not love the lamb. Not just any wolf. She loves the wolf that is capable of love. It is even more complicated: she loves the wolf who contains, hides or reveals an unexpected sweetness in his violence. The sweetness of the cruel is a greater sweetness.”

— Hélène Cixous, from Rootprints: Memory and Life Writing; “The Story of the Wolf who loves the Lamb he does not Eat,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

Arcane | S02E02: Watch It All Burn

I think I realized what bothers me the most about the shows end... That it could have been the exact same ending if the whole transending thing didn't happen. For example, if you showed someone that two parties where ready to fight but someome jumped in and put some sense in them and they stop fighting and then you jump at the very last scene at the beach you can easily say that "Well now that there is no more war, they can live their life in peace" AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT THE TRANSENDING!! GOD, REALIZING THAT MADE ME ANGY AGAIN!

We started watching the show for a group of people. The delinquents. And personaly I only cared about them (but their story included other parties too so I didn't mind them). I didn't care about the human race. I didn't give a shit if they were good or bad or idk! I just wanted my people to survive. So the whole transending thing was bulshit in my eyes. Plus if I hate anything in stories, it's aliens. These creatures/light could only be aliens so I was so dissappointed. Man, it's been less than a week and I feel like the ending never really happened. It didn't touch me at all.

…Where you go, I shall go; where you die, I shall die, and there will I be buried

Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty (via aheartwhispers)

No offense but the quote “The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.” from the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard is one of the strongest, most impactful, mind-blowing phrases I have ever heard and it’s become one my absolute favourite quotes of all time that is all thanks for your time

“don’t reduce this female character down to a love interest” does not translate into “this female character shouldn’t have a love interest.”

preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both. 

I respect everyone’s interpretations of Beauty and the Beast but I feel like for me personally “a person who behaves badly when angry and is incompetent at relationships learns better skills through hard work and the patience and firm boundaries of someone who loves them” is an Important Narrative and I wish it would not be equated with abuse
