Simple Desires Requited

Self Care Tips From Tumblr: When you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. When you feel like you hate everyone, eat. When you feel like you hate yourself, shower. Someone out there feels better because you exist. 

All Sansa has to do is avoid Jon Snow, Sam’s best man, for long enough to see Gilly safely down the aisle at Horn Hill. How hard could it be? She’s only staying for a few of the events, and besides, he’s a world-famous hockey player, the centre and captain of the Direwolves - he’s bound to be too busy with fans at the wedding to even notice that she’s there at all.

It’s all going according to her meticulous plans until Gilly’s maid of honor bails, and Sansa has no choice but to step in.

“Titanic is the hugest success, and it’s because it’s totally queer. Leonardo DiCaprio was totally androgynous at the time. DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were both not known — not stars — so there was no power dynamic between them. Like, if you look at the sex scene in Titanic […] he’s the one who’s being totally fragile and insecure. I think it was a huge success because it’s a love story with equality and with emancipation.

I think the movies are in dialogue. I thought a lot about Titanic because it’s also the present of a love story and the memory of a love story. A successful love story should not be about eternal possession. No, it should be about emancipation. And it is an emancipation story, because maybe [Kate Winslet’s character in Titanic] lost this love, but we see her being free and riding horses and wearing pants. It’s all about emancipation.

The success of a love story is not about how long it lasts. It’s not about ending your life together. Him dying is tragic, but it’s not the end of the story. In equality, there is emancipation.”

Look after yourselves ghosties. Then you can fight the good fight.
