Serious thought always leads to being lost in thought — because it takes you down unfamiliar paths. -- Michael Lipsey

Do you know the conflict I feel about Hogwarts? And if I ever got the chance to go??

My birthday is the September 1st!

Like do I really want to start school and be on a train for hours on my birthday?

Would I have to wait an extra year? Would I be the only 12 year old in first year?

But then the feast? That would be an amazing birthday dinner??

You know what? I'll just stick to Camp Half-blood I don't face any conflict there!

A very serious thought about Loki and the eventual death of Steve Rogers in Avengers 4

I spent some time getting over Loki's death, I'm not completely sure I'm entirely over it. But with time, it started to appear every day less likely that he was going to survive. I'm not happy with it, I still think that it's a fuckin stupid death and that he deserved so much better, but you know what? I might accept it. In the end of Thor Ragnarok, Loki got his closure, his character is complete, his life journey reaches its peak, he's ready to sacrifice himself for Thor, he's ready to be a brother again, to be a son again. Yes, Loki's death if permanent will be heartbreaking, but it isn't offensive. It makes sense.

Now, think about Steve Rogers. We all know it is very likely that he's going to die, as well as we know that it is impossible that all the original Avengers survive the ultimate fight with Thanos. It sort of makes sense, even. But Steve has always wanted to do what was right, he didn't want to fight for the sake of it, he didn't want to go to war to prove Bucky and the world that he was worth something. He did go to war and let scientists experiment on him because he thought it was the right thing to do, no more and no less than any other man in America. Then, he found himself stuck with the image of Captain America, and by the end of the war he wasn't a man anymore, he was a simbol: and a simbol doesn't want anything, he's not entitled to have wants, he simply is. For America. For freedom. For patriotism. But that was it. And then he saw Bucky, his best friend, his companion, his everything die in front of him and that was just the end of the world. He was ready to die, the ultimate sacrifice. Even when I had nothing I had Bucky.

And then what? He finds himself stuck in a world where he doesn't belong, where people doesn't even look at him as a person, let alone as Steve Rogers, the kiddo from Brooklyn that just wanted to do what was right. And then the Winter Soldier comes and the Winter Soldier is Bucky, his Bucky, and fighting doesn't even matter anymore. He lets go of his shield twice for him: the first time on the helycarrier and the second time at the end of the fight with Tony in Civil War. And this is the most allegorical image we can get: with Bucky and for Bucky he can let go of everything, can let go of Captain America and, finally, simply being Steve.

And after all of this, after all the shit they went through, after Steve said goodbye to being a hero and Bucky finally found his peace in Wakanda they're dragged to war again, Bucky dies in front of Steve again and he is so tired, he is so fucking tired.

This is not closure. They say until the end of the line and you know what? I still don't see the end of that line. And the end cannot be Steve sacrificing himself in Avengers 4 with Bucky left to pick up the ashes of the only thing that had kept him alive for all those years. THIS IS NOT CLOSURE. They didn't get to live their life, neither of them, and this isn't the end of the line. It would be so fuckin disrespectful Marvel, so so much.

Let me know your thoughts about this, please.

Non ho mai pensato veramente a me stessa. Ci ho sempre provato ma la mia natura prima o poi incombe. E allora ricomincio a prodigarmi per gli altri, come sempre. Penso di aver bisogno di tempo. Tempo per me. Penso di aver bisogno di dimenticarmi degli altri senza sentirmi egoista. Sto rimandando la mia guarigione troppo a lungo. Ho coperto le mie cicatrici con grandi cerotti ma non hanno mai smesso di sanguinare. Ora devo lasciarle sanguinare liberamente. Voglio che il mio sangue scorra fino a quando non ne avrò più. Voglio essere libera. Voglio guarire. Devo farlo per me.

People like to see that you're doing well... but they don't like to see that you're doing it better than them

something life taught me

concept: writing is allowed to be controversial. writing is allowed to be what writing is: thoughts and ideas and emotions. people acknowledge that not all controversial writing is bad and not all controversial writing is good. writing is writing and people are people and that is okay.
