The-lone-wolf-survived - Fangirl

As soon as I saw ben and devi together on screen my mind was like :

slow burn, enemies to lovers, 300k words

No one is you and that is your power

Out of all the shows I have watched and books I have read I didn't think the 100 was going to get me to question my faith

I still can't believe the darkling just straight up gave his real name to alina this soon

i’m hearing all this hype for nikolai and wylan casting and like i get it but tolya and tamar !!!!!

"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird because they do nothing but one thing and that is sing their hearts out to us"

Ok so recently I've been reading Harper Lee To Kill A Mockingbird and I was just about ready to give up, when that quote came up, and then I understood.

Society is still walking on a tight rope

Judging people and the likes just for their background

Like Tom Robinson who was accused of rape by the town's lowlife Mayella Ewel

And though no one ever believed them, they did she because of one simple thing

She was white and he was black

I asked my teacher why this was significant and she answered with "That's the point of the whole story. To show how unjust and unfair soceity was and still is"

He was the unseen, powerless object everyone had been fighting over

And then came Tom Johnson

I didn't understand why he was significant, why a dog getting rabies out of season was so important

I realized it was just symbolic

He became mad

Dangerous

And it all came back

He was used to represent Maycomb

And how people became "mad dogs" when something including a person of color came up

They became just like Tom

And it didn't matter that if it was in season or not

Diversity waits for no one

And this town was very much afraid of it

I understand the purpose of the book now

Why it was written

And why it says the things it does

This is what I got

When someone is still clutching the holds of the past, the same point of views, same words, and same ways, they become afraid. Afraid of the change and of the diversity. They become so closed off that anything involving a slight bit of change turns them into "rabid dogs"

Atticus tried his very damned best to defend Tom, because it was rare that someone wanted to take effort into defending a 'negro.'

He just took the first step

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything

-George Bernard Shaw

No one talks enough about that one scene where Kaz sweeps a cape over Inej and there are an incredulous amount of flower petals scattering in the wind, and Inej is like these were my mother's favourite flowers, but Kaz is like cool story bro I'm glad you're back :) This boy couldn't care less about these flowers, because he's so focused on his scheme to get her away from Van Eck.

And Inej grows up believing there's no one out there for her who fits the description her father gave her. No one has learned her favourite flower, song, or sweet. She associated these specific items with affection.

And just...Kaz doesn't give Inej these exact things. Not flowers, but a knife. Not sweets, but a ship. Not a song, but the sound of freedom as she rushes to meet her parents at the harbour.

Kaz challenges the idea of love Inej was taught, and I think it's beautiful because what her father said still remains true. It's not about gift-giving, but how well the person has gotten to know you, and Kaz understands what Inej needs goes beyond flowers.

So when they're surrounded by these petals, yes, it's wonderfully symbolic for Inej, but the true expression of Kaz's loyalty isn't in these types of gestures: it lies in the fact that he came back for her, that he fights with and for her. Inej doesn't need flowers, but she needs someone to put her complete trust in. And it is that boy who earns her heart.

I feel like I haven't seen enough people talk about the fact that joy may not be Jacob's kid😭😭

thinking about how all the non readers have no idea what inej’s tattoo means or why kaz wears gloves or how important the darkling’s real name is or that jesper is bisexual and not gay

I come on here everyone loves wnd xo kitty but on insta they MAD asf😭😭 straightbaiting is so funny they should do it more often😭
