" Around this table sit a patchwork group of people they are messy, broken, and at times utterly selfish but they are mine and to me they are fierce, kind and endlessly loving. So take care of how you speak of my family. "
I genuinely feel bad for the girls who feel like they have nobody, I feel for the girls who feel like they are ugly without makeup, the girls who hate the way their body looks, the girls who wish they could change their features, the girls who are the ones who walk on the end of the sidewalk for their friends, the girls who never knew what a true friendship feels like, the girls who feel empty inside, not just them tho I really feel for all girls sometimes it’s really shit that as women we have so many problems with ourselves wether it’s the way the look, the way we act, or just ourselves in general. We all deserve better. I hope the girl reading this knows this too
Just a preface: I haven't actually watched Joel's POV. But this is something I saw in Martyn's that seems to have continued when I watched some others.
As soon as Lizzie died, Joel had a moment. Very quickly he ran towards her house. As I watched I was struck with how romantic and tragic that was. Going to her house to be SURE that she wasn't dead. That she was actually gone.
And then whenever someone would say "Jimmy's not the first out" or "I can't believe Jimmy's out" or "Mumbo's gone" he'd react with a cry about his wife.
And then everyone else would laugh. No one actually mourned her except her husband and she deserved better
Are we going to talk about how often scenting arousal comes up in dark romance? Boy howdy it is pretty interesting that often the female lead will be actively rejecting the male interest or giving off a lot of “I’m not interested, no” signals but authors will use this trope to override/plot device their way out of what would otherwise be a non-con situation.
At best, it’s typically a “baby it’s cold outside” interpretation. The author doesn’t want the character to outright say, “please fuck me/I’m attracted to you”, because it likely goes against the characterization of them so far. A way for the romantic interest to just know he’s desired and he can pursue without the lead having to ~say~ it. (Edit: not a dark romance, but Diana and Matthew from A Discovery of Witches comes to mind as an example of this. She spends the first few chapters feeling distrust, wariness, and revulsion towards him. After he earns her trust, there is a scene where he can smell that she’s attracted to him. It’s not a very sexual scene since it’s a closed door romance, but I think it still fits. A “go ahead” without Diana really having to say it.)
At worst, it’s the nessian bonus chapter. I don’t think I have to elaborate here, but if a person has thus far behaved in a way that is communicating they aren’t interested in you so you use your size to intimidate them, getting as close as possible and cornering them against a fire, and question them on their sexual history, you are displaying predator behavior.
Everyone who has a pussy knows that randomly getting wet is as common as random boners. A lot of hormonal causes factor into how you feel and if you aren’t on bc, there’s a good chance you’re walking around turned on for days at a time while ovulating. It’s not a good plot device, unless you’re excusing predatory behavior. Iswis
Side note: Nesta is a reader. She deserved a Mr Darcy type romance, a say no and I’ll never bring it up again kind of man, an I’ll save your sister even if it’s not beneficial to me kind of man, acts of service and speaking highly of her when she’s not around kind of man, not a macho asshole who relished being able to tell her what to do. Nesta being imprisoned in the house of the wind was the only way Cassian was getting a crumb of pussy from her and sjm knew it.
" We bounced back and forth between extremes, loving and hating, staying and leaving. We knew how to be soft and gentle but we could also be sharpe and cruel. I regret the hastey things we said. I hate that we became all the things we swore we would never be. "
if you want to be an It girl you need to have the mentality for it. The first thing you need to know about having a it girl mentality is you need boundaries. You can’t have an it girl mentality if people are constantly destroying your boundaries by walking over you and defying your space. If you don’t like something put it out there! Tell someone no if you don’t want something and be the assertive bad bitch you are.
2.) don’t hate like a man.
As girls or more importantly IT girls we should uplift other girls. This is not a 2000s show where being a complete bitch to others gets people to like you. If you want to be liked be likeable it’s as simple as it sounds. Don’t be afraid to help other girls out if they are in need, check on another girl if you see them upset or disappointed in something. As girls we can all agree we get shitted on enough by males, exactly why we should embrace our girlhood by helping other girls. If you help someone they are more likely to see you as a Role model or someone they want to be.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN BEING A PEOPLES PLEASER—- and too my next point!
3. Please yourself, not other people
All these tips are all correlated, having boundaries can also be letting people know that you are on your own journey and are living your life for yourself. Don’t be a people’s pleaser, this gets people thinking they have control over you and will most likely take advantage of the fact your a good person.
4.) Embody yourself
Adapt your own personal style and don’t follow everyone’s path. An easier example for the girlies; If everyone is wearing skirts and low rise jeans but you are feeling to wear yoga pants, where the yoga pants bitch. Its similar to how I mentioned your on your own journey and your simply co-existing with others. Be creative, and don’t follow the bunch. You can of course adapt your own style from things you like, but just make sure your wearing your clothing because you feel comfortable in it and you feel good in them!
5.) You deserve to be loved
The most important step of all is loving and taking care of yourself. If your stressed take a nap and chill, remind yourself that you have control over your life, nobody else. Take the day off and do your skincare or give yourself a warm bath or eat that extra piece of chocolate you’ve been holding out on! Enjoy life angel and know that all It girls take care of themselves
I mean in the early seasons of tvd he was fine and I liked him, but then it dwindled down in the later seasons. And completely turned to hatred when I watched Legacies.
I hate how he treats Hope.
THE POOR GIRL ALREADY LOST SO MUCH AND THEN HIM THROWING IT IN HER FACE MAKES ME FEEL PURE HATRED AND ANGER FOR HIM.
also how he neglects his own DAUGHTERS over and over again, and then gets mad at them for the smallest things or to get his damn attention.
I feel so bad for all three of my poor babies, they deserve so much better.
i wanna act in a movie where i die a horrible death at the end and the whole fandom loves me so much they keep posting about how unfair it was for my character to die before they got what they wanted
