Gothic Ingenue in spirit

if you are non-american then it can be dangerous to hold beliefs about your rights that are only applicable in the US.

i am australian and i have seen young australians have completely us-american perceptions on the rights they hold (or do not hold) in regards to protest, police officers, self-defense, medical care, higher education, debt, and legal proceedings. i am not talking about "boooo americans" i am talking about the genuine danger it might present to have us-centric assumptions in high-stakes situations

One of the things I love so much is that everyone (I think) got what they needed in the end. They all found peace through what they did, and even though it’s different, that is okay.

Another thing I love? The fact that they changed their minds. Joffrey decided not to pursue art as a career even though loving it. Peter changed to pursue what he loved, and let himself change his mind. Lili and Shin both realised that they had passions they wanted to pursue. And kit let himself create art again. Even Dorothy, who knew she was going to be married, still pursued what she wanted. I love that about this show. I think personally I have a very fixed mindset unintentionally, and this show helped me realise that not everything is forever, and that’s okay. Things can change.

Another thing? Their close knitted friendship. Although there were romantic relationships hidden within a lot of it, I think that their love for eachother (platonic or otherwise) brought them closer together. The fact that a single song played once on a night where they were all together makes Lili stop in awe. Running to hug Catherine when she gets back to England. They created this community where everyone learnt and appreciated eachother, how amazing is that?

Towards the end I just couldn’t stop crying, it was all so beautiful.

A quote that really impacted me was by Professor Brant, “Time does not wait on words, only on the courage to act”

That quote really impacted me too.

yeah anyways I really liked a lot of things about it and I thought it should be shared
