'Strong female lead' this 'strong female lead' that. what about my WEAK female leads??? What about the girls who are clinically tired?? Who don't speak up for themselves?? Who get taken advantage of in society??? Who get pushed to the side??? Who are naive??? Who let opportunities and happiness slip through their fingers?? What about girls that listen to their aunts advice to not marry a gentleman?? What about girls who meet that gentleman years later and have to be polite even though they're dying inside??? Who have to pine weeks on end believing he hates them only to find out through a letter that he's been in half agony half hope??? What about them????

I’m not sure if I should try to add shadows to the floor since this is the amount of thread I have left by carleria

Big huge fan of the way people eyes soften when looking at people they love it’s like they can’t help but let their guard down and open their hearts up

making doilies is a useless hobby because i have all these pretty things and not enough flat surfaces to put them on

my beautiful small and lonely life

maybe later we could hang out and take turns bursting into tears

i thought i had knit enough woollen socks, but this winter i realised you can never have too many pairs

German political activist Sophie Scholl pictured in 1937. Convicted of distributing leaflets opposing WWII, she was executed by the Nazi regime in 1943.

An underrated Snufmin-thing is in the ice skating-episode in season 1 when Moomin and Snufkin are holding a lantern each and the Moominparents (seeing them from a far and through thick fog) thinking it’s two fireflies courting and remarking on how cute it is.

Well the two fireflies are in fact very cute together

Just two women knitting together. And maybe a little bit yearning…
