Society if we gave James MacAvoy and Michael Fassbender full creative control over Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr so they could make their Cherik fishing roadtrip romcom
I'm either aromantic or a romantic and I can't figure out which. Ya feel me?
my mom's watching law and order in the other room and one of the characters referred to LGBTQIA+ as just "LGBT," and another character (an LGBTQIA+ activist, i assumed) corrected him by saying "LGBTQIA." i got really fucking hopeful because she was recognizing these identities, but when someone asked her what the "QIA" meant, she said "Queer, Intersex, Ally." not to be a dramatic bitch or anything, but as an asexual, my heart shattered. this was said by someone who either "supported" or was a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
i'm going to say this one more time:
THE "A" IS FOR ASEXUAL/AROMANTIC/AGENDER. ALLIES ARE NOT PART OF THE LGBTQIA COMMUNITY. IT IS NOT A SEXUALITY OR GENDER IDENTITY. YOU ARE CISHET. YOU ARE NOT OPPRESSED FOR SUPPORTING US.
I AM SICK OF THESE IDENTITIES GETTING ERASED. IF YOU CLAIM THE A IS FOR "ALLY," GET OFF MY BLOG.
reblog if you support your ace, aro and agender friends

{disclaimer: i appreciate and love allies and all your support, but you are still not part of the community.}
Totally agree. Not to mention the fact that Katniss wasn't trying to be the face of a rebellion, it just kind of happened to her. The biggest difference I noticed between THG and SOTR is that Haymitch was trying to end the games and actively rebel while Katniss would love that to happen but is primarily focused on the survival of herself and her family.
Katniss accidentally became the face of a revolution through a mixture of her natural reactions to her situation being publicized and the orchestration of those that have been behind the rebellion for decades.
It is not a teenage girl saves the world story it is a teenage girl becomes propaganda story.
Suzanne Collin’s just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.
I know it' been done but I just realized how Lucy Gray coded Silver Springs is and I'm obsessed
My sister said that being around our family for too long decreased her maturity and intelligence level. At first I was offended but as I remembered that I started my day putting on coca-cola lip smackers while jamming to Soulja Boy and proceeded to order a coffe with 2 "kumps of caramel squirrel" at the dunkin donuts drive through that maybe she had a point.
Growing up seems like it sucks. Ya know? I'm good with 16. 17 is as close to adulthood as I'm willing to get. Independent but not like responsible for anything
“I’m very happy I have no afterschool” (as in nothing I have to do after school)
“I also hope I can clear my head and make myself laugh”
“I don’t know who I am”
“Here are my goals: be myself for at least one day...”
“I want to go home. I want my water bottle”
Modern AU Pevensie Sibling Relationship Headcannons:
Peter and Lucy:
- Lucy has Peter completely wrapped around her finger
- like Peter has a major soft spot for Lucy and will go out of his way to make her happy
- For this reason she has been able to convince Peter to be in her tik toks
- all her siblings make appearances on Lucy's tik tok, but Peter has been in the most dance tik toks
- They're both the more friendly and outgoing siblings. They just have a lot of golden retriever energy so they're relationship is very soft and pure
- Peter is very protective, as he is with all his siblings, but especially for Lucy
- sometimes Lucy finds this very frustrating
Edmund and Lucy:
-They weren't close when they were younger. Edmund especially did not like Lucy when she was a baby
-but they got a lot closer as they got older, especially after their older siblings started to move on.
-After Peter went to uni Edmund became Lucy's most frequent guest star on her tik tok account. He would pretend to be annoyed but have a lot of fun
- Edmund is protective over Lucy too, but knows he has no business interfering with Lucy's decisions and has complete faith in her ability to handle herself
- Edmund knows Lucy better than Peter and Susan do
-They watch vines and get Starbucks together
- Edmund liked that Lucy listened to him and saw his and everyone else's good qualities. Lucy is kind of universally everyone's favorite sibling.
Susan and Lucy:
- When Lucy was a baby Susan was overjoyed to finally have a sister
-Susan was determined to be a good example to Lucy and she saw her relationship with Lucy as special because Lucy was her only sister
- Susan always tried to be a safe space for Lucy to tell her anything and come to her with problems
- As they grew up they had less common interests but they would still confide in each other and share a few inside jokes
- We see in the movies that Lucy is jealous of Susan's beauty and charm, but Susan was always jealous of how bold, free, and at peace Lucy seemed to be.
- if they played a game with teams and played boys vs girls they would always win because they could work together better than Peter and Edmund.
Susan and Edmund:
- Like Lucy and Peter, Edmund and Susan had a lot of the same fundamental traits, but they're a lot closer in age so they have more in common than peter and lucy
-They're both terribly competitive. Susan despite all her grace and elegance still can't stay entirely cool when she's losing a boardgame on family game night
- Peter and Lucy can't decide if it's worse when Edmund and Susan are against each other or on the same team
- they always win bc they're both strategical, but than one day Peter and lucy beat them and they are so frustrated especially bc they're trying to find a strategy for a game of complete chance
-One time Susan dragged Edmund to the salon with her and Lucy. He pretended to hate it at first, but now goes regularly and loves to gossip.
-They're both bi and end up competing over the same guy a weird amount
Edmund and Peter:
- these two have the most difficult relationship bc they're almost complete opposites
- that being said they are both extremely loyal and while it's one thing for them to pick on each other it's something entirely different if someone else does. They can always trust that they ultimately have eachother's backs.
- Edmund looks up to Peter a lot more than he lets on
- When they were little Edmund would always follow Peter around and try to keep up
-They weren't very close when they were older but Edmund was still Peter's best man at his wedding and vice versa
-there is also a picture of them together at Peter's graduation on Edmund's insta captioned, "proof that i get along with my brother sometimes. Congrats bro"
- Peter's comment on the post was, "I'll miss you, you little shit"
Peter and Susan:
- Since they were the oldest they were always focused on protecting the younger two. The front they put up around Edmund and Lucy was totally dropped when it was just them
- They were really close in age do they did a lot more hangouts with friends and stuff, and they were both super social so they would go to like grab drinks and go to parties
-Peter married one of Susan's roommates.
- they check up on eachother but subtly because neither of them really has the authority to fully older sibling the other
- they fought over who gets the car constantly, and Susan usually won
