god just like. the sheer irony of the fact that mary shelley wrote frankenstein when she was still a teenager. a teenage girl. founder of modern sci fi story telling. and yet now teenage girls are sneered at when they show an interest in ~nerd culture~ and sci fi. i just. man.
I want feminism that unapologetically stands for all sorts of women. That’s the kind of feminism I dish out, that’s the kind of feminism I stand behind.
What I really love about Roald Dahl’s books is that the villains really didn’t have any tragic backstory or any redeemable qualities or character development.
Like I admire authors who develop their villains and show all of the aforementioned things, proving that we’re all human, and all of that.
But I just really love the fact that Roald Dahl was like, “You know what? Some people are just assholes.”

Robyn Hitchcock - Welcome to Earth | Chronology

When people of colour are expected to educate white people as to their humanity, when women are expected to educate men, lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world, the oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions.
The Han - Finn relationship in the Force Awakens is so underrated in my opinion.
I mean, from the beginning Han knows this kid is lying. He may not know about the ex-Stormtrooper thing, but he knows he’s not Resistance.
And Han just doesn’t care. He finds him amusing, he looks out for the kid, he never judges him for wanting to flee from the First Order. Then there’s all of their interaction on the Starkiller planet. It’s just so fun to watch.
you know what i love (and by which i mean hate)? when Hamilton gets so emotional and suddenly sucks at rhyming. for example in Dear Theodosia, when he rhymes “sun” with “son” and other lines in that song that don’t rhyme at all. OR when Philip dies! he doesn’t even try! he just sings, “Philip, you would like it uptown, it’s quiet uptown.” HE. JUST. CANNOT. RHYME. ANYMORE.
