Okay but like do you ever have like those remake things that make you irrationally angry? Like when they remake a show and don't quite get the characters right and you just...it really gets to you.

the urge to scream "don't make me tap the sign" to so many people on twt and the sign is the whole conversation denali had at roscoe's about how very talented queens can be also very good at rupaul's drag race like c'mon guys can we not? for one time? be a shitty fandom?

Embrace it

As a Ginger you get all the jokes thrown at you that sometimes it won’t bother you anymore. I stopped letting it bother me in about year 10 of high school and decided to embrace it. In fact I myself make ginger jokes such as

“What do gingers look forward to later on in life? Grey Hair”

“Notice how in Harry Potter the dementors never go for Ron”

“Want to survive a horror movie? Be a ginger. You can't die if you don't have a soul.”

And those are just three of millions of jokes. So to all my Fellow Red Heads, Gingers, Rangas or what ever you get called Embrace it and confuse them laugh with them and you will learn to love it.

The Question???????

Being a ginger I get asked the same question a lot but worded differently 

“Do you have orange hair everywhere?”

“Does the curtain match the drapes?”

“Do you have orange pubes?”

Well I’m just going to come right out and let you all know if you have natural ginger hair you will most likely have the same colour pubes, and under arm hair

i absolutely adore this warm weather with a cooling wind, but i can already smell my toasted skin...

okay so i went to the shop to get some medicine (i have a really bad cold atm) and some guy decided it was acceptable to call me an “ugly ginger bitch” and I’m like... okay, I’ll take ‘ugly’ because i honestly don’t look my best today, and I’ll even take ‘bitch’ on the chin because, hell i can be a bitch. but ginger? like, i’m sorry that my hair colour freaking offends you so much that you need to use it as an insult. i wouldn’t even care that much if it hadn’t happened to me my whole life. i’ve spent years having people shout stuff at me in the street, being physically attacked at school, having people say the most vile, sexually explicit stuff to me in bars and in clubs all because of my hair colour. which is something i can’t control? 

I used to dye my hair when I was a teenager because i wanted to hide it’s natural colour; i felt ashamed of it. and i would cry while my mum spent hours slopping this dye on it that freaking burned because i have stupid overly-sensitive skin and my scalp hated it. all so that i could avoid those girls who’d call me names, who’d pull my hair and slap me. so i could avoid those guys that would ask me vulgar questions, who’d try to touch me when i told them to shut up. 

and now, when i truly feel like i’m embracing my natural hair for the first time, when i’m a much more confident young woman, people still think it’s okay to insult me in public; to take the colour of my hair and twist it into something ugly, something mean... 

now, when ‘Kiss A Ginger Day’ is a thing, and I don’t know whether I’m more sickened by that than ‘Kick A Ginger Day’, because my hair colour doesn’t mean you can fetishize me.
