Maybe it's just me (it probably is just me) but Paramore's 'Brick by Boring Brick' feels like a Wanda Maximoff song.

If you have a child and they are creeped out by a nephew or older brother touching them or looking at them a certain way, you need to have a serious talk with that person and keep them the hell away from your child. Don’t minimize it or tell your kid to hug them anyway, that kid is picking up danger signals they don’t even understand yet. But so many families will tell that kid they are being a brat.

thankyou

A quick note- this applies to female relatives as well. One of my aunts ignores my little brother’s requests not to hug or kiss him (he has aspergers and doesn’t like physical contact with people he is not very close with). I have repeatedly placed myself between the two of them and had to tell her to back off and stop trying to “desensitize” him. Whether or not there are “danger signals,” it is not okay for adults to invalidate a child or teen’s request for boundaries. We need to teach children now, when they are young, that they can say no to these things and that other people can too.

And this applies even if the relative isn’t giving bad vibes. Just in general teach your kids that they don’t have to have any physical contact for someone else’s sake if they don’t want to. 

Never not reblog

This is why i laugh so much when people complain that they aged down aunt may cuz like… they didn’t actually really? she is a reasonable age? marisa tomei just happens to actually be a vampire

She’s not even a vampire. She’s in shape, sure, but she’s not ripped, she has age lines you can see in closeups, overall she looks perfectly reasonable for a woman in her 50s with professional makeup. We’re just so used to women not existing in movies unless they’re 20 or 70 that we can’t even recognize 50. 

Actually yes, this I very much agree with
