There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you -  and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.

To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.

actually, growing up is feeling like i turned sixteen two days ago. i’ve been eighteen for years. fifteen year olds seem so young. wasn’t i fifteen just a few weeks ago? all my friends and i are still twelve. i’m closer to thirty than to being a baby. i never got to be a kid. i never grew past eight. i can’t talk to my mom. i want to sit in her lap forever. i want to decide everything for myself. i need someone to tell me exactly what to do. the week is going by so slow. an entire year has passed.

I’m pretty sure the implicit message of “So if you want equality that means we can hit you now, right?” Has always just been “You are smaller and weaker than we are. We can violently destroy you at any time and most of us have wanted to, but we restrain ourselves because you’re weak and vulnerable and subservient. If you want to act like you aren’t weak and vulnerable and subservient, there will be nothing stopping me from acting on my constant desire to violently destroy you.”

[luckyladylily]

I always read it as “men already hit women, but if we are equal then we don’t have to pretend it is bad.”

[puttingherinhistory]

How can we get men who say shit like that to understand they actually shouldn’t be hitting anyone and they need to learn another method of problem solving besides violence. Honestly I’ve been in a lot of women’s self defense classes, and all of them teach us to be careful with how much force we use so we can’t be prosecuted for being the attacker or using excessive force, that we should only use the amount necessary to free ourselves from our attacker so we can escape. They teach us as soon as we’ve used the amount of force necessary to get away that we should fuck out of there as quickly as possible and get to safety, not to hang around and try to retaliate and ‘teach the guy a lesson’ or whatever. Meanwhile there’s so many men who will say it’s justifiable ‘self defense’ if a drunk girl half his size weakly shoves him in a club to beat her to a bloody pulp in ‘self defense’.

Men really need to learn other methods of problem solving besides violence. Like I totally get there are some situations that might call for it, but so many men will resort to violence over situations that absolutely do not call for it like someone cutting them in line or accidentally bumping into them.

i am obsessed with the idea of an article about an american artist being written the way american journalists write about foreign artists 

[aletheyass]

As we sit down to chat, I am struck by the Americanness of his features (he looks like he has 64 teeth instead of 32) and demeanor (he is charmingly obnoxious). He is sporting a purple and gold synthetic fabric shirt. “LeBron James,” he says, hand on his chest, “love that dude.” [A/N LeBron James is a player from a local basketball team called The Los Angeles Lakers] – it is not uncommon, even to this day, for Americans to retain old-fashioned values and beliefs such as sport idolatry. His American accent is very thick, almost unintelligible, but his humorous nature transcends any language barrier, at least until we delve into the topic of his tragic childhood. “We had no bidet,” he admits, his blushing cheeks betraying his embarrassment, “and we used to eat frozen croissants and store-bought ragù bolognese.” He looks somber now, the ancestral sorrow visible on his American face. “It was just really hard,” he says after a short pause, tears now welling in his eyes, “to grow up without the privilege of underage smoking and tramways like all the European kids.”
