THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY

christine daaé my pookie ....... you saw the nuance of the situation despite your terror and STILL managed to say "you deserved compassion once" AND "i can't be the one to fix you" and i love her so much for that

every 4th of july I think about the american tourist who was like oh thank god you’re open I wasn’t sure if you’d be open today and I was like why wouldn’t we be and he said because of the holiday. in norway.

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

getting kicked off love island for just swimming in the pool and not talking to anyone

grabbing the ao3 authors by their plump rosy little cheeks… being sexually submissive… does not make a person literally anything. not more or less powerful, or more or less competent, or more or less gendered, or more or less capable of abuse, or more or less innocent, or more or less mature, or more or less adult, or more or less violent, or more or less intelligent, or more or less responsible, or more or less any single thing on the planet. there is no correlation. please. please. for the love of god.
