Even If They're Young Or Angry Or Emotional Or Whatever The Hell Isn't All That Great In Real Life - Tumblr Posts

ok i think what gets me about the kind of post that's like '[children's media] has child soldiers, where are their parents!!' is that those stories really and truly aren't for people who'll think about that, they're for the people the children's age, who don't, for the most part, want to be kept safe or told they're too young to participate in the world, they want to be given a sword

**all of this**
number 4 especially gets me
sometimes the story is about empowering the kids
and dangit that's what I want to read still!
I was a kid who loved those stories
now I'm an adult who honestly still likes stories
where people get to be taken seriously
even if they're young or angry or emotional or whatever the hell isn't all that great in real life
sometimes I just wanna think about how
yeah that kid character COULD fight a dragon
and damn now that I'm older that means I could probably fight TWO dragons!
