katniss is given grace for being a seventeen year old girl thrown into war (as she should!), but gale is never given any grace for being a seventeen year old boy who suffered the exact same way she did all his childhood and then chose to walk into the fight for whatever he had left. gale didn’t have a cinna or an effie; he didn’t see capitol people growing to care for katniss, he saw them walking her to a death match and then dolling her up as a child bride who got pregnant at seventeen. he had three younger siblings and a mother to take care of, he was hunting way before katniss. he’s the revolutionary people want katniss to be when in reality her story is about the effects of war on innocents.

You know, there's this cliché that teenage boys always eat massive amounts, but teenage girls really aren't that different if they're not suppressed by diet culture and body shaming. Like, I was a teenage girl who frankly just stopped bothering to fit into mainstream beauty ideals at some point, and I would regularly make myself just one big massive pot of pasta and devour it completely. This wasn't even stress eating or anything, I just genuinely needed the energy because you know, I was a teenager and my body was developing. I feel like so many teenage girls think they need to eat as little as possible to be petite and pretty, but the truth is that your body is developing just as intensely as teenage boys' bodies. Eat more, please, your body needs it.

the one band member thinking to himself that he's so glad lestat killed one of the tech guys and lestat going "dude I just fired him like a normal person" was an underrated moment tbh

A female friend group WOULD fix Armand but Anne Rice often forgot to consider women as people and so this did not happen

something totally normal to have memorized off the top of your head, baby girl

Menstruating, halucinating only one of her dead sons, surrounded by rats, unable to sleep since that's presumably the bed her mother died in, husbuncle wants to kill her little brother who is actually just some kid, girlfriend wants a worker's revolution, 3/6 kids of her kids are dead and one of her step daughters is unaccounted for, drunken gay ex-husband's father is comparing his whoring around to her and Laenor having a sperm donor/poly situation and then throwing a tantrum in public, head of the church won't even crown her until they procure her brother's remains. Terrible day to be Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen

every time alicent falls back on the excuse that men put her in this position and oh shouldn’t rhaenyra relate neither one of them have had a choice i see red because alicent! you are perpetuating that cycle with your evil fucking children! every single male member of your family is evil and you are helping to create that reality! viserys was hardly involved with his kids at all and you had the chance to make them love rhaenyra and to fall in line and keep their lives but you let your dad convince you to be evil too! that was your chance for the agency you crave and you looked the other way and went along with evil men because of power. stop acting like everything you did is something a man chose for you when you could’ve chosen your best friend who only ever wanted to be with you.

i only like enemies to lovers if it’s gay because i think men who are mean to women don’t deserve to live

my favorite thing about louis is he's a business major in a world of theater kids. everyone's playing psychological games with each other through theater and rock music and the fractured art of storytelling and he's like "but what are the margins on my vampire hotel"
