To Love is to Destroy

I fucking knew this was about On the Road three screen caps in

But I sort of thought that’s why the second girl said what she said? Like she used more academic language, you’re right, but she’s completely echoing Kim’s statement. By prefacing it with, “I think Kim’s right,” she draws the attention back to the fact that Kim said it first, the paraphrases, then builds on what Kim said giving more information to support Kim’s claim. Like Girl 2 knows what’s up with the teacher’s bullshit and she’s not about to let it go down. I think the point of this scene is to condemn academic elitism, not to support it. Especially with the look between them at the end.  

During the first half of this, all I could think about was how exactly this echoed my experience reading “On The Road”. And then I laughed when it was the exact book they were talking about.

#how unsatisfied are these people with parenthood that they have to validate themselves like this

Nothing more annoying that insufferable parents shoving their children down your throat. The parent equivalent of mansplaining.

If anything this just killed the slim chance of me wanting children

Irritating how the first few posts are of hard working women venting about their stress and some momzilla comes in and tells them that only being a mom is hard and validating and tries to downsize how important these women’s jobs are..like..not everyone wants a kid. And that’s ok. These woman are going to school, working hard, and making a difference. A woman doesn’t NEED to have a child to feel complete and whole..that’s not the only purpose a woman has in life..

Especially irritating in the third one because if that mom responding to the girl was really treating stab wounds to the face or trachea/lungs in the context of being a mother...maybe she isn't doing the mothering thing correctly??

@ishenwulf, @candyumbrella, I’m sure this is already on your radar, but I saw this and thought of the two of you.

Who is the girl playing Astoria? I think I recognize her but I don’t know her name.

@belligerentblonde, Just saw your comment, if no one has responded to your question, I chose Nina Dobrev to play Astoria for this edit. Mainly because her roles in The Vampire Diaries placed her in both period and formal clothes, which went with my HP-Universe Aesthetic.

This is the purest thing
