“So what did you think of that film/book?”

I actually really enjoyed it. So much so that It’s all I think about now. Anything remotely similar to it becomes a reference. My friends won’t hear me shut up about it. As soon as I finished it I searched for posters to put on my wall. I also went on social media directly after finishing it to find edits and fanart. I’ve began pestering my friends to watch/read it too. Thank you so much for asking so I could continue to talk about it. I don’t want to stop talking about it.

movies that change how you move on with your life because you cant stop thinking about them.

i love willingly indulging in media i know will be emotionally devastating and then feeling shocked when im emotionally devastated.

listen i'm self aware, i just keep choosing to create my own problems.

I’m in a very lying on my bedroom floor the windows being the cold air in as I have my headphones on and my notebooks pens scattered devastatingly feeling every note of the yearning playlist I have on

The lunar chronicles really shows how easy it is to avoid the not-like-other-girls stereotypes just by. Yknow. Having multiple girls in your story?

Like wow look at how Cinder doesn’t like fancy dresses she’s so cool and different and wait. Oh her best friend Iko is fashion obsessed and also a badass? Oh Winter is conventionally attractive and still cool as fuck? Oh….

Wow look at Scarlet and how badass and angry she is she’s not like those other overly emotional— wait what? Cress cries a lot and that’s totally fine? Winter is an emotional wreck and Scarlet fully helps and supports her through it in her own ways? Oh….

Wow cress is a hacker that’s so cool she’s obviously the most capable woman— oh shit Cinder is the best mechanic in New Beijing? Oh Scarlet is a pilot and runs a whole ass farm? Oh that’s not even any of their main personality traits????

Oh ew Winter wears ball gowns everywhere and her problem is that she’s too pretty and she’s obsessed with this one boy that’s so stupid— oh wait? She’s slowly losing her mind because she refuses to manipulate others? She uses her docile appearance to her advantage and understands social structures better than anyone else there? Even though she doesn’t have any STEM abilities it’s her ability to make people feel heard and understood that makes her so powerful?? Oh.

Even Iko who’s the most fashion-obsessed boy-crazy of the bunch is still deeper than that, a lot of that coming from her desire to be seen as her own person and establish an identity apart from her programming, which is just very real to growing up. Girlhood is a spectrum, and when you only see one type of girl, you get the message that that’s the type of girl it’s okay to be.

TLC doesn’t just subvert that, it actively addresses it. Cress is jealous of the others sometimes, and she actively has to remind herself that it’s not Iko or Winter’s fault that they’re conventionally attractive, and it doesn’t make anyone any less of a person. Scarlet initially assumes that Winter is doltish and crazy and doesn’t realise until much later that she’s much more than she seems. It feels uncomfortable to read those parts now for me, mostly because I recognise myself in them. We’re taught to see other women as rivals, but jealousy is treated as an evil trait instead of a normal symptom of our upbringing. Showing it, letting it be something we all have to overcome, letting ourselves be ugly for a moment, is just as important as showing why our jealousy is misguided.

Show me all the girls. Show me the girls who had boy band posters plastered on their walls. Show me the girls who would rather wear cargo pants than skirts. Show me the girls who love high heels and fancy dresses. Show me the girls who fall somewhere in between. Show me the girls who like science and the girls who like to fight and the girls who spend all day wrapped in stories and fictional worlds. Show me the girls who dream of their Prince Charming and the girls who never even thought about it.

Because all of the girls deserve their happily ever after.

unstoppable force (thorne trying to figure out where they are) vs immovable object (cress being amazed by everything around her)

tbh i'm surprised that the lunar chronicles aren't like insanely popular on tumblr they were literally made by a fanfic writer and are honestly really well written and overall great, if you haven't read them read them

Just got my tumblr back after quite some time.

I was telling my friends all about this girl that I used to like, my first experience liking a girl tbh. It was intense, crazy, painful, wonderful, something so deep, I feel like I couldn’t feel like that for somebody else again.

Minor updates, I may like another girl, and I’m going on a few dates with this cute white guy lol. not going great as I hoped.

Whatever happens, I don’t think I’ll be able to like somebody as much as I liked her. I hope you’re good wherever you are and whatever you’re up to maya.

and for future me who is definitely remembering the same thing and coming back to this,

I hope everything is going amazing and great for you, it’s a tough little moment of time going on right now but here’s a few pictures to maybe sum it up! I love you!

do let me know how the person turned out lol!

and I hope you’re doing perfectly okay.

and hopefully, you’ll feel just as much as you did for maya, for somebody who gives the same back to you.

[iamacrazedupbean]

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
