I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”

when fleabag said “women are born with pain built in. it’s our physical destiny – period pains, sore boobs, childbirth. we carry it within ourselves throughout our lives. men don’t. they have to seek it out. they invent all these gods and demons so they can feel guilty about things, which is something we do very well on our own. and then they create wars so they can feel things and touch each other and when there aren’t any wars they can play rugby. we have it all going on in here, inside.”

found family but they're all absolutely horrendous people

Ben Barnes is that ONE generational crush we all think we may be over at some point but a new show/movie comes out we're hoeing all over him stronger than before.

i think it's so funny that ronan's whole deal is he grew up the favorite and now whenever he doesn't have the constant full attention of every single person he cares about. his whole brain just crunches up in terror that he might be turning into declan

I'm still processing how fucking funny it was to watch the Crows run around during the events of Shadow and Bone. Like on the one hand they accomplished pretty much NOTHING they set out to accomplish and every single one of their plans went horribly awry, but on the other hand??? They snuck into the little palace? Inej killed TWO Inferni? They carjacked the Darkling? Jesper went up against a heartrender who had on a bullet-proof kefta with a gun and won? The Darkling tried to use the cut on Kaz and he got out of it with what was basically a magic trick? They snuck onto the skiff? Inej STABBED the Darkling? Kaz fought off a fricking Volcra with his CANE? Accomplishing nothing but with STUNNING proficiency. And at the end Alina's just like "gotta appreciate the effort, fam. Have these priceless jewels and go back to being crime lords in Ketterdam, please."

the original crows trio is amazing because jesper is so excitable and bubbly and inej has more heart than all of ketterdam put together and yet both of them have chosen as their favourite person a mean little guy with the temperament of a wet cat

i think it's actually hilarious how all the show only people think kaz was so cold and an asshole and all the book people are over here like no that was soft kaz you haven't seen shit
