me: *types out giant paragraph in response to hateful message*

me: *realizes that i could never respond with anything more hurtful than not responding at all, leaving them to constantly refresh my blog for the next 24 hours, seeking out a response that they will never receive, allowing the cold fact that i, like everyone else in their life, don’t give a shit about what they have to say, wash over them*

I really like this photo johannamalone took of me as Reyna. It’s awesome cosplaying Reyna because I feel like a queen and a really strong woman.

So this is my first color palette thingy thing and oh my god I’m so sorry. I’m not happy with how I coloured it, I’ll definitely retry in a few months when I’m better (hopefully).

—-eyes are red because I couldn’t use blue (but I considered doing it anyway - which I obviously didn’t in the end xD)

I neeeeed to thank johannamalone for sending me the first request and making tutorials for me and just being the sweetest piece of cake. Thank you!! I hope you like the picture

Dear Movie Critics

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU A HUNDRED TIMES!!!!!!

What do you gain by giving shitty reviews to beloved YA adaptations? You think you’re showing your smarts by condescending to teenagers? You think you’re proving how intellectual and discerning you are by dissing good movies simply because they are about teens? The only thing you’re proving is that you have no idea what you’re talking about when you compare Twilight to Vampire Academy or The Hunger Games to Divergent. You have no issues with one after the other Iron Man, Super Man, Spider Man, Cockroach Man, This Man, That Man (no Wonder Woman, btw), but you complain that “There are too many dystopian science fictions with strong female leads”. Hypocritical, much? (Your idea is that there can never be enough of movies that cater primarily to men, but when it comes to movies aimed at women, there can only be *one* franchise for people who like vampires, and *one* for people who like magic, etc.)

You know what you’re really doing here? You’re dragging down franchises that- 1. Have female leads, and female characters that tell young women that their primary function is not to serve as a romantic interest for a male, and that romance is only one of the many possibilities in their lives. 2. Pass the Bechdel Test with flying colours. 3. Portray sexual and gender minorities with respect and empathy. 4. Cater to the entertainment and intellectual needs of young people simultaneously. 5. Give young women role models of their own gender.

I’m glad The Mortal Instruments is getting a sequel no matter what you said, and I hope the same for Vampire Academy and Divergent. We need more movies about women like Clary, Isabelle, Rose, Lissa, and Tris, who represent what women are really like: a mixture of strengths and weaknesses, who have their own voices with which they tell their own stories, and have complex lives. In other words, we need portrayals of women not merely as the tits-and-ass object of a guy’s fantasies (I’m looking at you, Transformers). After more than 100 years of cinema, we are finally getting to see ourselves on screen. No wonder the hoary old farts in their ivory towers want to take it away.

For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble.This is not your destruction. This is your birth.

» feminist [the word] includes the idea that believing men and women to be equal, believing all people to be people is not a natural state — that we don’t emerge, assuming that everybody in the human race is a human, that the idea of equality is just an idea that’s imposed on us, that we are indoctrinated with, that it’s an agenda.
