You know what'd be really refreshing to see? A story where every main character just genuinely, openly, and purely loves each other, and nobody has a problem with it or thinks it's weird. Are they polyamorous, just intensely good friends, is it sexual, romantic, platonic? You can't tell where one ends and another begins. And whatever drama there is between the main characters is about genuinely wanting the best for each other, but disagreeing about what it is or how to get it.
Like imagine a scene where a woman sees her fiancé kiss another man on the mouth and later walks up to the man like "I see that he loves you as deeply as I love him, never dare to break his heart."
And the guy, who just put together that this must be his boyfriend's girlfriend, just goes "my lady I would push my sword through my own throat before I'd let him come to harm."
And this is just depicted as a perfectly normal way for people to talk to each other and about each other.
and yet it did, so i'll make my peace with the fact that at least i did learn something, therefore making it all not a completely useless experience.
The North is not off the hook. Not by a long shot.
Internet vernacular has completely altered what some words and expressions mean to me. Forevermore, I will hear the words "hear me out" will only and exclusively as "before you cast your judgements prematurely, please pause and allow me to explain how and why I should be allowed to fuck this thing".
old gods are waking
Hearing other peoples' stories about when they were in school confirms my suspicions that some people only become teachers because there's a limited line of careers where it's socially acceptable for a whole grownup to be personal enemies with a 12-year-old, and they lack the creativity it would take to become a saturday morning cartoon villain.
this. im so sick of it ppl hearing ab how i grew up with two somewhat-upper-middle-class parents and how everything was paid for and assuming that that meant my childhood was trauma-free. first off, i fucking didn't - i had to move away from my biological mother and my siblings when i was young. yes i understand my situation was much better than most of my friends' growing up, yes i understand that my life would be much different than right now if my stepmother had not adopted me, yes i understand the volume of opportunities for me now vs the opportunities i may have had if i had stayed in brasil - but you dont seem to understand that there's more to parenting than material coverage. i shouldn't have to go in depth about the emotional and psychological neglect and abuse i experienced in that household to some random person who tells me how lucky i am to have lived with someone who has the biggest white savior complex i've ever seen in my life. even my fucking father shames me for this, talm bout "we only have so much time on this earth for you to come around" well maybe i never will come around papai how about that?? maybe you'll never get back that relationship we had because u refuse to acknowledge the bullshit ur wife put me through - ur only son, ur blood.
if im not gonna take that shit from my father what the hell do u think im gonna say to u?
