literally no romantic gesture will ever be more touching and beautiful than that scene in the handmaiden when sookhee destroys hideko’s uncle’s library, ripping to shreds the things he had used to abuse her, drowning them in ink, taking those disgusting symbols of the male gaze and SHATTERING them.. that’s the epitome of true love
anyway be loud and obnoxious and fun with your interests. post abt nothing but them. make posts you're gonna be embarrassed about later. draw fanart. write fanfiction. talk to your friends about aus and shit that makes you laugh. buy shit bc you want to look like a fictional character even if you're going to be giving it away at some point in the future. let yourself enjoy things in a "cringey" way bc life is short dude and anything that brings you joy like that is worth doing as long as it's not hurting people.
