I Finished Putting Together The Irish-American Heritage Month Display And Jesus CHRIST There Are So Few

I think for a lot of white people, when you call them out on their casual racism (microagressions and non-overt things), they see it as a case of hurt feelings from your point of view as opposed to a discussion of harmful practices that aid the vehicle of racism. So in response, they take it as a personal attack, rather than a learning experience, and go on the defensive by bringing up a time that you made them upset as leverage. Or they defend their actions by doubling down on the behavior at hand and dismissing your criticism as over sensitivity and emphasizing their “harmless” intent. And I think that is one of the reasons why it’s so hard to address casual and interpersonal racism with the general white population (and also other poc tbh).

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."

I'll admit I was worried that Cinderella's castle would yet again girlbossify the title character (seen too many bad adaptions) but instead they did something way more lovely, Bryce Charles plays Ella with all the sweetness and loveliness of a Disney princess and tortured gothic heroine, yes, AND her primary motivation is revenge! It burns in her heart like a flame. The two do not contradict each other. her dress being starlight is thematically relevant, do you see? She is the last cinder in the house of ashmore, clothed in the dying light at the end of the universe, on the edge of burning out and yet sparking back to life. Fire is warmth and light and yet it can still burn you DO YOU SEE-

Talking to people who aren’t REALLY into classics sucks sometimes bc it’s understandable enough yk, acquired taste and all that, but also it’s like I SWEAR I’m not being pretentious by saying my favourite novels are Frankenstein/Dracula/Les Misérables THEY GENUINELY ARE 😭 IM GENUINELY ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS AND GENUINELY HAVE REREAD THEM MULTIPLE TIMES (except for Les Mis. I am… still not finished my first read it’s a long-ass book ok man leave me be) AND IM GENUINELY EXTREMELY ARTISTICALLY INSPIRED BY THEM ALL IM SORRY I am but a simple history nerd who genuinely likes reading about old men with psychological problems and almost-human-cryptids that are metaphors 🙏🙏

god I hate people who say they don't watch musicals because people "just don't burst out into song and highly choreographed dance numbers at will-"

how fucking stupid are you

people don't run around like john wick getting shot and still standing up either or meet cute rich millionaires at coffee shops who wanna marry poor women from the bronx or have super powers and shit but somehow you can comprehend that just fine in other fictional media.

what is so fucking hard to comprehend about a story and emotions being conveyed through fucking song

have you never felt a human emotion in your entire life, can you not comprehend joyful noises or somber sounds, can you not understand a soliloquy or the troubled internal dialogue of a person in pain

do you not like music???

is there a single person on this earth who has never found one sound that they enjoy, played in repetition??

either stop lying to protect your pathetic pride or grow an extra brain cell or two and actually think about what you are saying.

"people don't sing or dance in real life-"

yes they do, when they're not a miserable cuck like you, it's just not always to a discernible beat.

you have lived your entire life with your heart and mind and soul closed to others.

you should kill your-

autistic person x autistic person is the only ship to ever exist actually

tea partyyy ^_^

I can't stop mentally comparing Tadmore to the Macbeths guys help me
