“With Spirited Away I wanted to say to them “don’t worry, it will be all right in the end, there will be something for you”, not just in cinema, but also in everyday life. For that it was necessary to have a heroine who was an ordinary girl, not someone who could fly or do something impossible. Just a girl you can encounter anywhere in Japan.“ HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY SPIRITED AWAY (2001), directed by Hayao Miyazaki

rb with your fav color + moon/rising in the tags I'm curious!

[evilsanlang]

this influx of lgbt people wanting to accept everything as 'valid' without questioning anything out of fear of being seen as bigoted has not gone well to say the least

[evilsanlang]

I also believe it's a result of this dumb idea that you need a label and a flag for everything. "I'm a bi lesbian bc I'm a lesbian but sometimes I'm attracted to men" putting aside the idea that you might just be bi... just say you're questioning. just call yourself gay if no specific label applies, or queer if that's cool with you, or just nothing at all because you do not need a label. a bi elder being seen as a lesbian for being with women back in their day is not the same person as you, early 20s, eating up shit you find on random carrds on the internet

[evilsanlang]

this absolutely goes for lesbians struggling with comphet too and I don't even need to explain why trying to make comphet into an actual label is not a good thing

That was the summer of 1963 when everybody called me Baby and it didn’t occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before The Beatles came, when I couldn’t wait to join the Peace Corp. and I thought I’d never find a guy as great as my Dad.

how fucking dare anyone see that the person who made the orange and pink lesbian flag is struggling to literally just SURVIVE and be like “ummm actually she doesn’t think ace people are queer so, don’t give her money :(“ like i hope somebody literally smashes your fingers with a hammer
