Does the body lie moving like this, are these touches, hairs, wet soft marble my tongue runs over lies you are telling me?

Your body is not a word, it does not lie or speak truth either.

It is only here or not here.

hey all 4,388 of you (most of whom probably don’t even use tumblr any longer),

i’m done here. it’s a long story but basically it’s too much mess. (i’m tired of thinking about all the trash here lol). no hard feelings.

i have no idea what the content of that blog is going to be but likely all my sideblogs that i run here will go dormant as well cos i can’t be bothered to sign in just for those. it’s been a fun run but history needs to be left where it is.

thanks for the memories, folks :) x

“Some women get erased a little at a time, some all at once. Some reappear. Every woman wrestles with the forces that would have her disappear. She struggles with the forces that would tell her story for her, or write her out of the story, the genealogy, the rights of man, the rule of law. The ability to tell your own story, in words or images, is already a victory, already a revolt.”

in conclusion The Handmaid’s Tale is an interesting story with a powerful message ruined by the protagonist’s rampant heterosexuality

CHARITY/VANESSA

(ok like 80% of it)

When it comes to discussing favourite characters, we all know the phrase ‘love at first sight’. But what I appreciate even more is that characters you may not love immediately, but grow to. 

During the first season of the Handmaid’s Tale I hated Serena Joy. She seemed wicked and took delight in others suffering. I now think the truth about Serena is far more complex. 

It was only till I rewatched parts and looked closer- I realized Serena is actually pretty darn fascinating. She isn’t cruel in a MWAHAHA way, but because she’s anxious and paranoid. She wrestles with her complex feelings and thoughts with Fred, Gilead, June and everything she believed in. She also has a creative streak (writing a book) that I appreciate. But what makes Serena spectacular is the choices she makes. Whether it’s giving her “child” to June, showing a Bible to the Gilead men, leaving Canada, or goes behind Fred’s back- she is fascinating to watch because despite having little agency, she makes the damn most of what she has. 

You get the feeling watching her scenes that her choices will shape the show’s future. And I love that! She’s a character with plenty of dramatic weight. 

I went from dreading her screentime to thinking she’s one of- if not THE best character on the show. I love Serena so much. It took me time to appreciate her- but I’m glad I do.
