orange blossoms... lilac... and something else

me, learning about the greek pantheon in elementary: wow, I love athena, so brave and smart

Me, after learning than Medusas head was used as a sign of safety and female autonomy in women’s spaces because it was seen as a gift from Athena, to allow Medusa never to be harmed that way again: oh dope, Athenas on our side. Kill a man who dares to look upon you with possession in his heart.

me, helping a little girl pick out a locket at the shop: do you usually like to wear goldtone or silvertone?

btw this was only a partial listing of the many Artemis facts imparted to me by this very good small child. I told her Athena was always my favorite so she also told me some Athena facts. 

I just blocked at least three people in the notes on this for being snidely superior calling it fake.

My husband teases me because I will unintentionally make friends with children in public ALL THE TIME. LITERALLY all it takes is if a kid says something to you, even of you already know about it, you go “wow, really?” And smile and nod while they excitedly gibber away.

I don’t really know how to explain to you that not every interaction between adults and children is inherently predatory? Like, for example, standing in line next to a family in Disney World and having a kid talk to you about Oswalt the Rabbit while their mother stands next to him isn’t “really creepy.” It’s a normal human interaction, particularly if you view kids as, like…people? Sometimes kids will try to talk to you, even if they don’t know you, and there are appropriate and normal ways to respond to kids when they do. 

in JUST Disney World I would just GIVE kids Trading Pins that I bought in bulk on line. Like, in line to meet Phineas and Ferb two kiddos were eyeing me and my SO’s lanyards and we traded pins (they wouldn’t let me just give them pins). There was a kiddo who was in front of us for the rivers of Pandora ride who was legit freaking out. Her parents were just screaming at her to be calm. I knelt and asked who her favorite Disney character was (it was goofy and I said she had good taste) and I told her I’d give her a pin, any except the like two I’d gotten that day that I was VERY attached to, if she promised to be brave and ride the ride with us. she rode, she was brave, she got a pin, and she didn’t scream or cry anymore.

The comments be like

Bella: I like him ... more than he likes me

edward: okay you guys we can’t kill bella

Now that I’ve read Midnight Sun I’m so ANGRY that the Cullens could live anywhere in the entire fucking world and they choose to come back to Forks again and again, where they force the Quileutes, on their own land, to go through painful transformations that many of them admittedly hate. Like half the Cullens whine and moan about hating that they can’t be human, then they forcefully make these teenagers turn into ~*effectively immortal*~ giant wolves that are hot all the time, have tempers, and can be forced to imprint on a soulmate that they spend forever with just so they can live in their favorite house? 

Cullen family: “we don’t drink human blood because we don’t want to be monsters”

"I took another quick breath, through my teeth, and winced as the taste scorched the inside of my throat" I stg Bella is just weed
