if someone, anyone, asked me, “why do you love her?” it would go like this:

[a cleared throat, a half smile— the kind where your mouth is closed and quirked up to the side, like its fighting itself, like its trying to be brave enough to show teeth— and a glance in the direction of her]

god what a simple question with a not-simple answer. why do i love her? why wouldn’t i? she’s…

[and theres the smile again, but its softer, everything softens when she comes to mind. theres this thing about her, about her memory, her life, that makes your edges round]

the way i see it is: if there is any proof of a higher being, she’s it. because knowing her, loving her, befriending her is such a blessing and a miracle. the way she experiences the world just… it just. golly, i cant even put it to words but its beautiful. she’s beautiful. and being able to hear from her, read from her, experience her, its a divine experience! even if it doesn’t last, it’ll linger because its her.

[large sweeping gestures. active hands, there is a story coming from not only a mouth but also palms, a full body experience. she deserves nothing less.]

and i think, truly, and this might make me sound cliche, but i really think this. but, um, no matter where we are, who we are, i think we’d always click. i think that when you find someone like her, someone who gets it. whatever it is. when- when you find someone who can match you and push you, that’s just fate. or god.

[a quirk of lips and another look in her direction. she’ll never know any of this was said, that makes it all the more important]

and we dont know each other well, but. im not religious in any shape or form, so to have her very existence make me question… yeah.

[a smile, wide and bashful, full of teeth]

yeah, i just think shes the greatest thing since sliced bread.

biography under the cut

car accident and ptsd mentions tw;

“That child is going to be trouble,” they said. 

“I will rain so much legal brimstone on this school that it would make God jealous,” she said before taking her daughter out for ice cream. The crime? Punching a fellow student for bullying.

The daughter of two powerhorse lawyers, Jade Sullivan was raised not to tolerate nonsense from anyone. They wanted her to make a mark on the world, telling her to never go quietly. It wasn’t her grades they were impressed by; rather,  it was the way she connected with people even from a young age, always fighting the good fight.

It was obvious what captured her attention as a young girl: soccer. Each year, she looked forward to summer simply because she could play every day without school to distract her. She kept telling everyone she’d make it big one day. If Jade Sullivan put her mind to it, she made it happen. Her parents knew she was not one to be underestimated, and put whatever resources they had to ensure her dreams came true.

 “She’s too intimidating,” they said. 

They always seemed terrified asking her out -- but those brave enough were quickly passed over, her interest in them minimal and fleeting at best. For the longest time, she figured it was due to her ambitious nature. Why date when she could focus entirely on her future? Once everything clicked, everything clicked. Coming out was a mixed bag of reactions in her family, some of them wondering why she insisted on making her life harder by being out and proud. 

Popular simply because she looked out for everyone and if you fucked with her people, she fucked with you. She was nice until she wasn’t. Sometimes it meant a good, swift punch and sometimes it meant ruining your life through psychological means -- ruining your reputation, getting you kicked off the team, providing receipts to the parents. Her popularity meant she had eyes and ears everywhere. She was the kind of woman people owed favors to because she used them to help other people. Putting her high school soccer team on the map was merely an added bonus.

An unfortunate injury as a result of a freak car accident derailed her chances of being recruited to a national soccer team. Doctors said years of physical therapy was needed to return to a sense of normalcy. In the midst of it all, she had an unfortunate falling out with her parents due to her refusal to go to therapy for her post-traumatic stress disorder. The accident didn’t just hurt her physically; it took a toll on her mental state. 

The woman had too much ambition not to make it big somewhere.  With a natural affinity for manipulation and putting a spin on stories, she went to one of the best colleges for public relations. Taking on a full course workload while going through months of intense physical therapy was the Jade Sullivan way. An internship with a major league sports team turned into a full fledged career after graduation. She would soon find out a former classmate, who had found success with the team, insisted on her hiring, having regaled stories from their high school years. It was a frustrating thing to know because of the casual racism put on display -- she had been nearly passed over for a white man with less qualifications. 

Her ambitious nature and work ethic had her climbing the ladder over the years. Despite not being at the top, she’d consider herself as the person running things due to her subtle machinations and blackmail material she held over them. She was friendly with those on the ‘lower rung’, so to speak -- they liked to talk. And naturally, she was more than happy to listen.

After seven years of working her life away, she had rendered herself important enough to request working from ‘home’ in Roswell, only coming in for meetings with the upper echelon of the team.

I hope Barbie is so good and successful it makes every executive that’s turned everything bright and fun made for young girls into edgy boring teen dramas for the last ten years spontaneously combust into flames

LOOK I JUST REALLY ENJOY THEIR FRIENDSHIP OK?? You can't tell me they wouldn't hang after their respective personal quests (spawn ending ofc)/emotional breakdowns over their own mortality

EDIT: I forgot to watermark these so now more than ever PLEASE don't repost

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.

⚡️DEATH IS ONLY TEMPORARY I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!⚡️

I lovvvee this little comic from Ryoko Kui 's Daydream Hours ♡. I would read a whole slice of life manga about Falin and Marcille's time together at the magic academy (⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠)

Harrow: my deepest darkest trauma is that my parents killed a bunch of children in order to make me into a powerful necromancer. they died for me. their blood is on my hands.

Gideon: that sucks dude. anyways I'm going to sacrifice myself to save your life. you'll be an even more powerful necromancer. pretty sick, huh?

Gideon: why are you so upset about this

Gideon: is it because you don't like me

she's off to another world, my girl. she's going to kill it, she's going everywhere, bitch. you heard it here first, folks! extra extra! read all about it! by storm, she's taking it. but the gentle kind, the inquisitive kind, the sunshine showers and the cooling breezes. she'll leave her mark the way a flower does, you'll never know it was there. but it was there, it was there. you'll know because you look hard enough you'll find all the things that are left behind, you'll look around and know all the places it should be. she's going everywhere, she'll drop her petals, she'll bring her warm showers, and her gentle winds. she's going to come home, and maybe not to me, but she'll come home when spring is over and the cusp of summer finds us, she'll come home changed and better and brighter. she's made the world hers, she's made it her bitch, she went fucking everywhere and she left her mother fucking mark. extra extra! have you read all about it? my girl's got a gentle world domination in mind and when she's satisfied, she'll be home, bringing the summer with her. you've heard now, you've read it here first. prepare yourself, get ready, there she goes, and here she comes.

for @nosebleedclub's jan 1st, everything begins

I love you “unlikeable” female characters I love you rude girls I love you mean women I love you girl interpretations of the “Asshole with a Heart of Gold” trope I love you women who get labeled Cold and Unfeeling I love you girls who lash out I love you women who lie I love you female characters who make people mad just by existing

surrounding myself with a bubble of diversity and self love and body positivity online and then being exposed to normies who actually care about conventional beauty standards feels so fucking bizarre. like you people just live like this??? are you not tired???

f(x) tribute band called f'(x). you'd think the point would be to be derivative but it's actually quite easy to differentiate the two.
