My main problem as a writer is that I don’t write because “I have a story to tell”. I write because there are worlds I want to visit, ideas I want to explore, people I want to meet, conversations I want to hear, emotions that I want to express, and impossibilities I want to make real.
Which means that I still need a fucking plot.
i can't believe they did this in the loft kitchen. i can't believe eddie and chris brought home to buck
Us: *starved from lack of representation in our favorite novels*

Ok, so Brie Larson says she thinks an all female Avengers movie would be cool (A Force!) And all these dudes loooooosing their mind. “What about an all MALE Avengers film?” Uh….the first Avengers films you mean. I get that Black Widow was in it, so I’ll compromise. We’ll have Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, She Hulk, Wasp, Photon, and Storm…..and Hawkeye.
i know it's for the better
able-bodied and/or nondisabled people who still wish shannon could have grown from her mistakes and been an actual mother to her child…have you considered that not every story is about you? you wanted homophobic diaz parents because you can relate to that. we’re allowed one (1) thing, too, thx. [and i’ll say it again: her death DID serve a purpose! “tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone”! she wasted too much time away from her kid and RAN OUT OF TIME TO DO BETTER. that’s how life works!]
i think the whole world needs to be talking about the heartstopper cast at pride, honestly. what they did was SO powerful. a group of young queer actors metaphorically (and literally) carrying each other while marching; holding hands and flipping off homophobes; giving credit to each other where it’s due and spontaneously hugging each other after encountering bigots; pulling each other away from said bigots and just being completely inseparable.
this is what pride is all about! they’re setting a perfect example, not just for the new generation but for EVERYONE.
