i hate hate HATE that majority of people and the press relentlessly declare that Wallis was unattractive. Okayyy she wasn't brooke shields' beauty nor did she fit in the conventional beauty standards but almost every picture of Wallis i just had to overanalyze cuz i find her very beautiful.

"Any woman who has been loved as I have been loved, and who, too, has loved, has experienced life in its fullness"

Wallis, Duchess of Windsor.

Forty years ago today Wallis Windsor passed away, she was 89. I have been thinking of what I should post today for a couple weeks, but I think her reflecting on her life in the 1950s and acknowledging how full a life she led is too accurate of a summary of a pretty insane 89 years to not post. There is of course a million and one anecdotes and adjectives I could use to elaborate on the fullness of her life but I feel these photos speak louder than words.

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[stuckinapril]

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

[mintedwitcher]

read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

Chappell Roan, who left her talent agency when she found out the Ceo was in the Epstein Files, is getting more hate than people in the actual Epstein files. Pedophiles are currently presidents and starting wars, wife beaters are getting awards and selling out stadiums, but a lesbian who is not the nicest most cheerful person 24/7 is the actual devil and getting banned from performing. I think she should be meaner. Let her be the nastiest bitch in the world. Maybe more women will wake up from the fucking trance this world has put us through and realise being "not nice" is not the biggest crime in the world.

(For those confused over the pictures shown, please check out my Kyle Soller birthday post here for an explanation 🙂)

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to this absolutely elite Irish theatre powerhouse, star of a human being, gem of a woman, and portrayer of my favourite fictional character of all time, Denise Gough 🥳

I am just a simple, unimportant fangirl who is nowhere near a literature major, so whatever poetics I wax may be banal. In saying so, I think we can all agree that her striking ability to deliver incredible layers of depth to every character that she portrays, whether it’s on stage or screen, combined with her phenomenal level of activism makes it very hard *not* to view her as the ultimate inspiration in becoming a better person. She is truly a beacon of hope not only among the entertainment industry, but also humanity in general 💝🥹

For those who are wondering why I uploaded two conversions, I had to share the second one as I know how much the Palestinian liberation cause means to Denise 🇮🇪🇵🇸 Not only did this photo provide a brilliant conversion opportunity, but also sums up quite well just how much of a solid human being she is 🫶🏻

[scalesmd]

Omg, I actually didn't know today is Denise's birthday I simply woke up thinking about her, actually love small coincidences like this. However it's deeply sad that her bday is darkened by another war like didn't we have enough of the February wars😭

“I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see.”

just finished watching andor and it encapsulated the “war” aspect of star wars so well — following rogue one. the trilogies hit so much harder knowing everything that lead up to the rebellion. the complex characters who've done so much things, the good and the bad, in order to achieve their goals, and their undying hope to the cause.

“Rebellions are built on hope.”

[scalesmd]

Thinking about how from all the Andor cast Denise Gough probably has the BIGGEST range cause being a Pro-Palestine activist she knew EXACTLY who she was acting in the show and did it brilliantly.

She is one of the few actors who puts such a huge activism over just being an actress. Denise reminds daily about the genocide even though it probably reduces her fanbase but she doesn't care because human lives mean the most to her over simply being popular. She is such a great representation of all values Andor stands for.

And I adore how both Dedra and Syril incredibly give Hannah Arendt's perspective of the banality of evil.

Can't imagine a better show for our dark times.

In "Windsors at war" Alexander Larman quotes David's letter to Churchill from the 10th of November 1942:

"The duke believed this to be timely and deserved, and again attacked his brother’s actions as an ‘unwarranted step... taken... when any action calculated to build up the King’s position was considered justifi able, even to the extent of hitting at me where I was most vulnerable, which was to insult the lady who had consented to become my wife’".

Even though I don't like Larman's trilogy (he hates WE with the same strength I adore them), I think about this letter A LOT. Just imagine, you're 48 y.o. FORMER KING who abdicated the throne to marry the woman you loved and basically gave up all your previous life for this marriage. And after 5 years of marriage, in the letter to the PRIME MINISTER you don't write "duchess" or "wife" or "Wallis" or at least "the lady whom I married/who married me". No, you write "the lady who HAD CONSENTED TO BECOME MY WIFE".

THE level of devotion & adorationis is just INSANE, David's like the most romantic man of his century😭😭

[scalesmd]

Still can't believe I spent MONTHS thinking I'm the only one in the world obsessed with WE and even asked AI to generate a fic (obviously it's a cringe) AND now I have proper fandom. God really blessed WE and shippers😭💔

Btw I have WE playlist (Taylor's Version)

Tried to cover the entire timeline, though with some fictional details like drama in the Bahamas and with Jimmy Donahue (rly enjoy angst)

Enjoy!!!

Rebellions are build on hope.~

A rare ‚nearly non fanart’ artwork. Star Wars Andor with its strong parallels to our world and especially lovely Denise Gough opened my eyes. They made me an activist, fighting for justice and beauty in the galaxy. It is most important that we do not look away. 🇵🇸🍉

Salute to me, I'm your American Queen

And you move to me like I'm a Motown beat

And we rule the kingdom inside my room

Ugh I used to have just a few social media when Twitter was a fandom field and now there're all these new apps for books/movies and Twitter became more like Instagram with texts or new Facebook, so fandoms led me firstly to TikTok (I refused to install it for YEARS) AND to Tumblr which honestly I thought was dead after 10s😭

I'm just an old lady and need to go living in the forest argh

Tbh I forgot how to interact here so basically want to like almost everything as I do on Twitter

And wdym there's no reply to a particular message option and reactions in dm😭😭 how emotional people suppose to interact like with every message!!!

The best monologue in the whole SW universe, only people with dictatorship experience get it😭💔

Together, we can save this Middle-earth.
