Dean deserved better.

Bitter dean stan first. My name is Zoë, Leo, or both. I'm 34. Queer AF. Hellenic revivalist. (Religious blog: pinkhellenicgods). Overall sweetheart. Long-winded binch. I sometimes take things a little too seriously. Oops. Taylor Swift is my queen. My pronouns are it/its, zay/zir/zirs/zirself, and they/them, in that order. Also known as zobothehob0

[thingsisaidweredumb]

you know, the more i think about it, the more it/its is my favorite pronoun set, so I'm going to update my bio to reflect that.

PLEASE USE IT/ITS MORE OFTEN FOR ME

free use is kind of a funny kink bc it relies on the idea that everybody wants to touch you and have sex with you but what if they don't. what if you tell everybody at the party you're free use but they all ignore you and mind their own business

had stress dreams about money all night. woke up to sweetheart's morning at work being good and some sweet love from him and now I feel better.

Always always always tell people you love they are so smart and capable. I will die on this hill. More often than not people are raised in unforgiving environments that tell them they are inherently “stupid” and not good enough for things, whether that be parents or cruel bosses or unsupportive friends. An underrated way of supporting people is reminding them they are brilliant no matter what anyone has ever said about their intellect and potential. People can do wonders when it’s affirmed to them their limiting beliefs are just that: limiting beliefs.

The two-faced exploitation and abuse of the Greek people at full display, in all its glory. The ideology is polar opposite - the exploitation is the same. This is what we are exposed to, constantly (it’s always very common but is becoming epidemic with Nolan’s movie) and if we attempt to offer input, we will usually be shunned out of it with the obligatory laugh emojis and mocking comments, in a predictable manner we know all too well.

The scariest thing here is the number of likes in the second comment. But make no mistake, even if it initially seems less problematic, the first comment is not less evil. Read it very carefully and you will understand. It’s no surprise it comes from a Turk.

Usernames exposed because fuck them both.

@cursedinyourowncourage Believe it or not your stance is so rarely heard by a non-Greek that I feel compelled to reblog your tags. Actually I don't think it's truly all that rare for one to believe this as long as they have eyes, it's just that it is not pushed at all like the other agendas and in fact the other agendas actively try to bury this as deep as they can. So good luck in the rest of your classical studies and have courage (drawing from your username hehe) because I suppose you're encountering these agendas a lot during your classical studies. We need people like you :)

one of my creative writing professors once said that to evaluate a work as good or not, first you ask what the work is attempting to do, and then you evaluate how well it does it. and this is how to judge everything from critical essays to romance novels to snack packaging to theory tracts.

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

i was talking to my boss/friend about the move and all the stuff that's gone on with it and i thought i'd told her about it but apparently i hadn't and she was like "WHO ARE YOU" because of how good i've been holding it together with how crazy it's been and that's HILARIOUS to me like y'all what changed was that i'm in a healthy living space where my only roommate is the love of my life with whom i have the most open and honest line of communication i've ever had with anyone ever and i've never felt safer in my home.

soooooooooooooooo that's just so funny that safety makes that much of a difference that fucking fast.

[thingsisaidweredumb]

and of course it's frustrating to me that i keep learning new depths of how much i had died over the 5 years sledge and i were engaged (which is so fundamentally different than the rest of our time as friends and partners in her participation in my life that i have come to consider this "our Relationship" and what came before as "our partnership") because i literally hate that i'm still learning new depths of this, i wish i was at the bottom of it already so i could just leave it alone. but life's taking the slow way around...

but like the last time i felt this comfort was when sweetheart and lived together before. i know i keep saying that but that's because i keep learning it in a new way and it's like exhausting. cause i am getting it back in stages and pieces and also because it's more this past month. today is one month since we got the keys and moved in here and we both immediately felt lighter. this is the first time in my life i have lived with just me and a partner longer than the one month sledge and i lived in our last house before we had to get a roommate and i feel so fucking free and completely unencumbered at home in a way where i honestly know i am not doing anything wrong and if i did something that caused tension - any tension, i would be told and it would be okay for me to say i'm sorry and also we'd be able to problem solve together what the expectations are so that we're on the same page about literally everything and i don't need to be afraid. when we could fight, we talk instead.

and that's the comfort i felt when it was me and him and simon had fucked off to richlands but more because then there was always the risk of simon coming home and also he was this dark cloud that loomed over us and now there's no simon, there's just me and sweetheart and the safest honesty contrasted with our baggage from our shared and separate dishonest pasts and sledge is a part of both our shared and separate dishonest pasts 😭 so i can't escape thinking about her and it's driving me nuts. i hate that i'm learning so much more about how she hurt me and why i did it all the way i did it and the mistakes i made two full years later. i want to be done ugh but LIFE IS TAKING THE SLOW WAY AROUND 😭😭😭😭😭

I was feeling bad about myself earlier, so I took a drive and started pretending I was lecturing an imaginary audience about my music taste and how it relates to me as an artist and I just feel so fucking full of self love right now. OH wow the way I was able to use imagination and self talk to focus my attention on the things about myself that I'm deeply proud of in a very personal way that you've got to truly understand me to really understand. That right there is a good coping skill.

[thingsisaidweredumb]

adult size medium absolutely has helped me do this more intentionally btw. if anyone's curious on how adult size medium has impacted me, like if anyone's tracking its impact like i am.... lol this is how. i've learned how to identify the insecurities and bad feelings and trauma threads i hear in the rest of the album and focus on the things i'm deeply proud of to find the space in between.

hilary duff really changed my life in the way taylor and cxg did. they all added something fundamental and new to my understanding of how I can productively use music to process and cope. and by productively, i mean like both by "creative output" and "emotionally directional and focused in a healthy and positive direction." I can't overstate the importance of this album and this song.

at the end of the day, i don't know that i believe there's a good faith way to say "trans women are basically terfs." like that right there is not a good faith thing. you cannot say "[specific oppressed group] is basically [political movement dedicated to the eradication of *that same specific oppressed group*]" in good faith. that's not possible. that's a bad faith statement. like by definition. cause you're using the emotional reaction to the disgust around that political movement's targeted attack specifically as a weapon against that oppressed group. And that's never in good faith.

the thing about Tangled is that this is a story geared towards little girls (even if it's "fun for the whole family," it's a disney princess movie, it's geared towards little girls), and it says, "here is a girl who is naive and doesn't know anything about the 'Real World' or how to navigate it safely and correctly. now pay close attention: the good guys are the ones who help her grow and explore new things while still respecting her own perspective and feelings, not making her feel stupid. the bad guys are the ones who tell her that she is too weak/immature/naive to do the things she wants to do, because she is fragile and needs protecting." and I watched this when I was nine years old and it resonated deep in a part of me that I couldn't articulate with words yet.
