Part of the New Internet Grammar: using question marks not to denote questions, but upturns in voice, so that a tentative statement gets a question mark but a flatly delivered question doesn’t.
rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"
I hate being asked what my goal in life is…. like.. idk…?? I want to have my own kitchen… and I want to know every poem by heart… and uhh.. I want to be kissed in the rain … etc etc .. my heart is very little and I dont want it to break
them: you don’t watch game of thrones?? really? how come?
me:
This is what I was talking about.
This is exactly why the whole "Queer characters can only be played by queer actors" argument, or the queerbaiting celebrities argument is not only unhelpful, it is actively harmful. You are not entitled to other peoples identity. You are forcing people to come out in order to protect their careers, when they may not have wanted to share that with the world. Real people can not queerbait. Real people can not be bad representations of themselves. Do not conflate how you treat fictional characters with how you are allowed to treat real people. We can not keep having the same conversation. Forcing people to come out or else face social consequences is Bad. Always. Everytime.
In this case, Kit is literally a teenager who has been facing overwhelming amounts of online abuse for not being open about his personal identity.
Im seeing it with other queer media too. With nicholas galitzin and taylor zakhar perez in the red white & royal blue movie, people demanding that they should have been recast with "actual queer actors" despite the fact that we do not know if they are or are not queer. We can never know until they tell us that they are, which they have not.
Im also seeing it with young royals. With the new season coming out later today, the speculation on omar and edvins sexuality and relationship is incredibly harmful and toxic. They are real people, please treat them like people instead of fictional characters you can write rambling, speculating paragraphs about.
I'll say it one more time.
You are not entitled to other people's identities.
the reason you were able to read more and do more activities in a day when you were a kid than you do as an adult isn’t because you got stupider, it’s because as a child you generally had your base needs taken care of and your schedule provided to you, so you didn’t have to use as much of your mental and physical energy on planning, life maintenance (ie food and administrative tasks), and general executive function. of course you could focus on reading a novel in two days, somebody else made your lunches and you never thought about phone bills and you didn’t even have to decide for yourself when to take a bath. c’mon
october, november, and december (the holy trinity)
unpopular opinion maybe but waking up to rain on a quiet weekend is quite literally the most magical thing in the world

“Some people see a magic trick and say, ‘Impossible!’ They clap their hands, turn over their money, and forget about it ten minutes later. Other people ask how it worked. They go home, get into bed, toss and turn, wondering how it was done. It takes them a good night’s sleep to forget all about it. And then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they’re the kind who won’t rest until they’ve mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I’m that kind.”

Finishing out Pride Month with August and Jane. 🏳️🌈 (You know Jane Su would never put up with this SCOTUS ruling garbage. 💕)

Hello, Grishaverse. Here's a lil Shadow and Bone cast Q&A to prepare you for season two <3
Happy Pride Month 2022!!!
Faust the Crow loves you even more than she did last year!
The Folk of the Air series really didn't have to go as hard as it did with the poetic lines
“I have lied and I have betrayed and I have triumphed, if only there was someone to congratulate me.”
“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop.”
“If I cannot be better then them, I will become so much worse.”
“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” “No, tell me.” “I cannot.”
“Kill him before he makes you love him.”
“Kiss me again, kiss me until I'm sick it.”
“He is even more horrifically beautiful than I was able to recall. They’re all beautiful, unless they’re hideous.”
“My sweet villain, my darling god.”
“I want to tell you so many lies.”
“Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips.”
“By you, I am forever undone.”
“My sweet nemesis.”
“It’s you I love, I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”
