Just Femme Things

I firmly believe that some stories can never be translated into a different medium and that's okay

sometimes it has to be a book. sometimes it has to be a movie. if you try to make it something else, it's not the same story anymore.

The first feminist gesture is to say: “Ok. They’re looking at me. But I’m looking at them.” The act of deciding to look, of deciding that the world is not defined by how people see me, but by how I see them.” -Agnès Varda

This is the antidote to that Margaret Atwood quote

like im not even a lesbian but when i see a butch relief and respect washes over me like how i presume an american feels when they see a member of the military or perhaps ronald mac donald.

Sometimes I think about lesbian icon renée vivien lauging so hard she had to leave a lecture bc the man was talking about how a book of anonymously published love poetry was the pinnacle depiction of a young man’s desire towards women…… but it was her book. She wrote it. About her girlfriend.

She IS and I’m obsessed with this image but how could you leave out that the one on the right is the girlfriend in question

A persons fanfic tells you a lot about them, i , a fanfic writer, realize in terror

new ask game: give me an extremely specific assumption you have about me based off of my fanfic. go.

tell me. fucking TELL ME.

Probably that I am a useless lesbian, kind of flaky, have no attention span and get too excited about new projects and then never finish them. (All 100% true). What can I say, it's that gemini energy

Growing up reading Malory Towers and all those horse girl movies really had me feeling like I was left out of some coming of age shit because I didn’t run through English fields in the night gallavanting

This is the bare minimum of decent human behavior for ANY gender. If you are an adult and someone who is not an adult wants to have a relationship with you, it is your duty to, at bare minimum, turn them away.

and like... having crushes on adults is a Normal Adolescent Thing, but it doesn’t mean they’re ready for--or for that matter, want--an actual relationship with said adult. it’s a goddamn developmental phase for kids working out their sexuality, and treating it as a chance to get laid is fucking monstrous.

Same reason why when a younger kid tries to playfully fight with you, the appropriate response is not to sweep the leg, get them on the ground and then start kicking.
