The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination. Love at first geek. I don't understand that reference. Just because you're blood doesn't make you family, you've got to earn that. Some experiences are so big they change your DNA. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff. Inconveniently circumstanced. A lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth. Dying gives us size. The infinite is always mysteriously dark. They make it look so easy, connecting with another human being, it's like no one ever told them it's the hardest thing in the world. Destinies are troublesome things. We had it all. We fucked up bigger and better than any generation that came before us. We were so beautiful. No doubt - endings are hard, but then again, nothing really ends, does it? I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. There's a hole in the world. Feels like we ought to have known. You hang onto your pain like it means something, like it's worth something. There's genius and then there's me. Normal people are so hostile. If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve. They made their own choice, they chose family. And, well….isn’t that kinda the whole point? You can do anything you lucky bastard, you're alive. What's a little pain compared to that? Is there anything in this life but grief? There’s love. There’s hope…for some. There’s hope that you’ll find something worthy. That your life will lead you to some joy. That after everything…you can still be surprised. Is that enough? Is that enough to live on? We're all just stories in the end. [tumblr icon credit to spaggel's hilarious post: http://spaggel.tumblr.com/post/55315109692/grimm-times-spaggel-spaggel]
i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary
if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig
I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.
The sexuality of a police officer is cop.
The gender of a police officer is cop.
When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.
If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.
I can't stop thinking about the way they framed the end of that episode, the way they clearly wanted us to wonder if Lestat had been texting Louis, but then Gabi comes in, and when she is revealed Lestat begins to stutter again...
Children who have been severely abused can often develop a stutter. I have seen this in my own family. This show is telling us exactly what this is right from the very start. The framing and the reveal make this clear Lestat/Gabi is meant to juxtapose Louis/Lestat. And more clearly, how bad Gabi clearly is for Lestat. And I have to assume the show will be juxtaposing this with how good Louis actually is for Lestat later on in the season...
Lestat cannot even speak her name at first, that's how immediate and awful the stutter is. He looked like a child early on in the episode when he was texting her, begging her to come to him. How many times had he begged her before? How many times had she denied him? Oh this is going to hurt so so good...
Daniel inquired about Lestat's stutter three times in 3x01, and each time Lestat either did not or could not answer. It was only when Gabriella (and all the trauma she drags in her wake) entered in the final moments of the episode that was saw for ourselves it was true.
