this year we take our hearts seriously. @saintofnotbroken - Tumblr Blog

summer-in-abaddon -> saintofnotbroken

don’t get me wrong, I still love Pinback with all I got, but a change was due.

the new url and title are in reference to the poem “Saint of Surviving” by the incredibly talented @inkskinned in collaboration with Erin Kouwe on instagram.

Your misbehaving boyfriend is not funny to me

unfortunately i can never hate on a "power of friendship" narrative no matter how corny because the thing is it's literally real

She's a woman in the Catholic church there's no such thing as unprovoked

#wake up dead man #coming back to tumblr just to keep a record of the current piece of fiction that I'm obsessed with

The way in which silent hill f says with the same sequence that marriage is both good and bad. that it's empowering and denigrating.

That it can give you strength, that it can open you doors. That it can allow for new paths to show.

But also that it can be denigrating. that it can be used to control your body. To brand you. To remove your identity and replace it with one more in-line to what the other party wants.

How wether Hinako got mutilated and it's horrible or wether she got a fucking sweet wolf arm and that's awesome are readings that exist just inches from one another

The thing to understand about Hinako is that she is not against feminity. From what we can take from the memories and records, she enjoyed playing with girls. she enjoyed playing with dolls, she enjoyed girly activities and having friendships with the other girls just as much as she enjoyed playing with boys and doing boy-ish activities.

it is the other girls who rejected her, who ostracized her. who made her abandon her doll.

And this is important to understand part of the game's themes: Hinako had been teared apart into two a long time ago.

It's not just that she is being forced to choose between obeying society's expectations of her as a woman and abandoning them outright to reach her freedom. It's that choosing either will also private Hinako of a half of herself.

it's only by rejecting the notions that a woman has to be either/or and giving her the freedom to choose her path while being able to be herself as a whole when she can begin a path towards a happy future.

And whether that future might include a marriage or not. it is a marriage done if, and only if, that is the marriage both sides legitimately want and if it is done as a choice between equals.

But the important part is that she is able to be herself. Truly and fully.

there will always be other chances. at jobs, at educational progress, at relationships, at friendships. if you messed up at something, it’s not the end of the world. you’ll always have new opportunities in all areas of life.
