a dream of passion

thebrotherswinchester:

it’s kind of hard having a really obsessive personality.

like, when i get into something, i don’t just enjoy it or find it pleasant or kinda keep up with it. i get straight up passionately and utterly addicted. i hear a good song and immediately go home and listen to it literally 60 times in a row. i watch a new TV show and suddenly all i can think about are the characters and the emotions and the plotlines. i read a new book and start quoting and referencing it constantly. 

everyone thinks it’s weird, because i guess for most people they’re just like “oh yeah, i like that song!” and play it every so often until they move on. or they’ll watch a show on hulu whenever they’re bored. etc. etc. it’s just every time i want to be like “you just started watching _______? but how are you not already on the fourth season? how are you doing things other than thinking about all the tiny little brilliant details of it? how are you going on with your life in a normal fashion now that you’ve discovered this thing?”

and then i realize i’m the only one who has this incredible, overwhelming, consuming obsession with the song or show or book or whatever it is, and then i don’t really know what to do because i can’t just make my brain stop.

 #consuming things in moderation is uh not my strong suit


What ingredients does it take to make you?

Superhero Movies like Avengers Assemble should not be scorned: an OpEd by Tom Hiddleston 

“But superhero films offer a shared, faithless, modern mythology, through which these truths can be explored. In our increasingly secular society, with so many disparate gods and different faiths, superhero films present a unique canvas upon which our shared hopes, dreams and apocalyptic nightmares can be projected and played out. Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama; fathers and sons, martyred heroes, star-crossed lovers, the deaths of kings – stories that taught us of the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility. It’s the everyday stuff of every man’s life, and we love it. It sounds cliched, but superheroes can be lonely, vain, arrogant and proud. Often they overcome these human frailties for the greater good. The possibility of redemption is right around the corner, but we have to earn it.”


clever, broken bastards who could once have been good; walking identity crises with performative confidence, tenacious queens lounging on their thrones

hahahahahahaaaaaaa

fuck

you know me way too well


"Being a feminist doesn’t mean suddenly no longer liking problematic things. If you stopped liking everything that was sexist in media and entertainment there would be no media or entertainment left. Being a feminist, to me, is being aware of what it is you’re liking, and of its problematic aspects."

YES! I still watch TV shows and read magazines and enjoy things that have problematic aspects, but that doesn’t make me any worse of a feminist. Feminism doesn’t require you to become an ascetic about all media. It just means acknowledging that things are wrong and could be changed.

Tag, you’re it! Here are the rules: Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves. You have to choose and tag ten people. Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them! :)

oh, sure! (i was also tagged by jasminebaggins so i’ll just do one post for both of them)

things about me (i’ll try to make them interesting):

  1. i’m just as outgoing irl as i am on the internet—i’m bubbly and extroverted and talkative and happy probably to the point of being annoying;
  2. when at home in montana i live on a farm, where we used to raise sheep and now raise horses (we also have a lot of other animals);
  3. i was raised secular/atheist, spent a couple years as a child identifying as a greek pagan (no really, and in a 99% evangelical christian rural area, it was a problem), and am now atheist;
  4. but as a corollary to the above, i have a lot of religionfeels that i’m not quite sure what to do with—if i’d had a better conception of religion as an academic discipline before coming to college i probably would have seriously considered majoring in it;
  5. i play violin and piano, and my primary instrument is voice—i’m a classical soprano;
  6. in the past few years i’ve discovered that i think good academia is sexy and often get worked up about theoretical frameworks (modernists and new critics will be shown the door);
  7. i can be salty but my default setting is sweet, and i’m a natural mediator who is not very likely to instigate a confrontation—getting me truly furious is a) so difficult that i can probably count the number of people i’ve met who have done it on my fingers, and b) really bad for your health;
  8. my family history on my mom’s side is really cool and i love learning about it (though i am getting a little tired of explaining to my grandpa that no, i don’t want to be president, no, not even a senator, that’s not my jam);
  9. what is my jam is teaching, and i’ve seriously considered it as a career probably since elementary school;
  10. while the fictional characters i stan tend toward villains or morally ambiguous people, the characters i identify with on a deep, personal level are as follows: steve rogers, sansa stark, brienne of tarth, lee adama, diane lockhart, leslie knope.

thanks, this was fun!
