Tracy Chapman and Alice Walker were in a relationship when they both lived in Brooklyn in the mid 1990s.

Walker discussed the relationship with an interviewer in The Guardian in 2006:

“"Why was it kept so quiet at the time? "It was quiet to you maybe but that’s because you didn’t live in our area,” she answers with a throaty laugh. She has written about the relationship in her journals, which she plans to publish one day.

So why did they decide against using their relationship to make a big social impact like other celebrity lesbian couples, such as Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche, have in the past? The idea seems to amuse her. “I would never do that. My life is not to be somebody else’s impact - you know what I mean? And it was delicious and lovely and wonderful and I totally enjoyed it and I was completely in love with her but it was not anybody’s business but ours.”“

idk how to describe this properly but there is Something There with characters who show their love through devotion, through service… loving from a distance, and proving their love by looking after them, caring for them, keeping them safe… i’m thinking about “i can’t carry it, but i can carry you” from sam gamgee, i’m thinking about “til my dying day” from eliot spencer, i’m thinking about “not to me, not if it’s you” from pylades, “i’m with you to the end of the line” from bucky barnes… love through the act of Following, of swearing fealty. and the tender surprise that comes with it when their loved one adores them in return.
