I though it was the best metaphor.

I was pretty happy with it

I am also notorious for using elaborate and seemingly unrelated metaphors to explain my emotions, because why just say what you’re feeling when you can build an elaborate imaginary scenario, draw in whoever you’re talking to and get them really invested in this scenario (which is imaginarily happening to them, not you) and then hit them with “that’s what this completely unrelated thing was like for me”

#something I do all the time in real life because why talk like a normal person when you can be the worst

obsessionfull asked: It delights me to no end that you've added (though I don't know when) "I believe in period sex" to your about me on your blog.

in other news

I recently added “I believe in period sex” to my about me, you’re welcome everyone

obsessionfull asked: Okay so while we were watching Captain America, Steve throws his shield at a guy in a tree and the dude falls down. I turned to Jeri and said "Steve would make an excellent extreme frisbeer." And then she said "Don't tell Erica that." So now I'm telling you this.

ultimate combines my love of goofy people, fierce vicious passion about something extremely niche and weird, hot people running around, and things that get people bruised up. it is everything good in the world.

obsessionfull replied to your post: I need to rewatch Breaking Bad

Yes yes yes. Ugh Breaking Bad. How so quality. (ALSO: TOTALLY SHIP HIM WITH HIS FRIEND LOUIS THAT WE ONLY HEAR ABOUT AND SEE LIKE, ONCE)

YES oh my god it’s not just me! I have genuinely wondered sometimes if that is where the show is actually going with that

louis

i love you and so does walt jr

Ugh. I always use that example and the fact that the actor who plays Walt Jr. on Breaking Bad has CP. Just because I figure people have seen those.

does he? oh, bitchin. 

suck it, sexuality in film class! it’s unbelievable! a dude who has CP is one of the best actors on an amazing dramatic show! how is it possible! I can’t believe it’s not an-able-bodied-actor-pretending-to-use-crutches-and-crudely-imitating-a-stammer!

Philosophically, I think there is hardly any time when you can just NOT talk about right/wrong. Because even making that decision you have to take right and wrong into account.

this reminds me that last week we were discussing boys don’t cry and the fact that the filmmaker(s) erased one of the people who was murdered along with Brandon Teena, the boyfriend of the woman whose house he was hiding at, who was a Black man and an amputee. the professor brings up “what does this do to the movie when this character is removed when it would have been relatively simple to have him around?”

and everyone starts in on race, but not in a critical “it is clear the director wanted this story to be white and able-bodied because our society teaches that to add in more intersections of oppression would have been much too confusing, even if this character would have only been a side part, so he was erased entirely from one of the only popular tellings of this story”

in a “well the director didn’t want to talk about race it would have made things to complicated for everyone to understand, we don’t want race and disability mucking up our nice white story and CONFUSING us!!”

and I was like, “um, taking out a black man DOES ABSOLUTELY make a statement on race. in fact, just having a totally fictional movie that is populated only by white people makes a statement on race. whiteness is not actually the default state occupied by humans,” trying to engage some critical thinking

instead a white women’s studies major positively YELLED at me about “THAT WASN’T THE STATEMENT THE DIRECTOR WAS TRYING TO MAKE”

this class is BEYOND tiring and could honestly be extremely triggering for anyone who isn’t a white straight cis able-bodied etc etc person, most of the vocal students are White *F*eminists and other White Ladies and it is… yeah.

Lee Pace consistently makes me feel all the feelings.

I’m trying to decide if I want to re/watch pushing daisies next, or see melancholia.

aka this movie has put me in a place where I can’t decide whether I want joy or sadness in my life

obsessionfull replied to your photo: yuppp inspired by

Oh hey girl Arthur Darvill

also can everyone appreciate the courage it takes to walk out the front door with a faux beehive, like I am about to do? it ain’t easy committing this hard to a look
