“They say Hades is protective of his realm, and while that is true, it isn’t about power. He cares for his people, protects them, and he takes it personally if anyone is harmed. If you belong to him, he will tear the world apart to save you.”

I actually wondered if “okay” or something like it might still be possible. But that is how a tragedy like ours or King Lear breaks your heart–by making you believe that the ending might still be happy, until the very last minute.

Ugh. Feelings.

“The Vice President of America wishes I didn’t have the love with my wife. He wanted to ban that in Indiana. He believes in conversion therapy. He has hurt LGBTQ people so badly as the governor of Indiana. And I think the thing we need to know - and I hope my show Gaycation did this - in terms of connecting the dots in terms of what happened the other day to Jussie…” - Ellen Page on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

I’ve made a mistake. It started with a prince, as most stories do. Once I felt the thrum if his heart beneath my fingers, I couldn’t forget it.

I was born 90 seconds before Nell. And I’d use that to, you know, if we had a fight, or, if I wanted something, I’d say I was the oldest, so she had to do what I said. And she let me get away with it. I mean, even though she knew it was bullshit. The last time I saw her, she was driving me to rehab. So she dropped me off, and she looked at me and she said, “You go in there and you bring my brother back. Bring my brother back.” I was born 90 seconds before Nell but she was always my big sister.
