There Is Nothing Prettier In The World Than A Girl In Love With Every Breath She Takes.

“Grief she could not feel, for there had been too much bitterness between her mother and herself to leave in her heart any deep feeling of affection; and looking back on the girl she had been she knew that it was her mother who had made her what she was.”

— W. Somerset Maugham, excerpt from The Painted Veil

Family member: You used to write all the time as a kid. What happened? I thought you wanted to be a writer someday?

Me: *stares guiltily at ao3 account with one million words*

Ive been seeing more and more ai fan 'art' and I just want to say that I'd rather see your shitty photoshop skills and stick figure doodles than the lifeless dead eyed renderings of a forest killing machine that scalped millions of images from real artists. Ty.

You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her

studying ancient history will have you thinking stuff like The 18th century was basically yesterday

Not to be dramatic but Harry Potter would lose his fucking shit if he knew how y'all treat Ron Weasley

Tumblr isn’t social media, it’s a habit. Like smoking. We’re all gathering by the dumpster in the cold, reblogging posts.

brainrot about them again.

It's so so important to show badass female characters being moms. It's important to write intelligent cool female characters with deep inner lives also being good parents to their kids. It's actually essential to the future of our society, I think.

Because when people either a.) write mothers as only there to play supporting character to the kid, or b.) write badass women only choosing to be childless, it sends the message that being a mom is for lame loser women who don't have or deserve personalities and lives. And who would want to be that?

And it's not impossible. We do it all the time for men, male characters frequently get to be awesome and also be dads. There's even a whole trope about Badass Dads raising Badass Kids while they trek across the post-apocalypse or whatever. Why can't we give women the same treatment?
