Across the Never, Against the Grave

And there are things that people come to regret, and the majority of them are dealing with me.

Feminist Frequency - Tropes vs. Women: #3 The Smurfette Principle (full video & transcript here)

At least Big Bang Theory got better about that by adding Bernadette and Amy to the cast, and giving them heaps of screen time (almost as much as the guys got).

This angers me. Ohhhhhh this angers me. I admit that if a studio used this Smurfette Principle as she described (to appear diverse or whatever), I would look down on it. But this seems to be pushing it further; “why stop at one token female character? You should always include at least 4, or maybe half the cast!” Sometimes a work of fiction just doesn’t feature many women. But the author/director/whatever shouldn’t have to compromise his or her work in order to pander to any audience, whether it’s one token character or 4. If the creator of the work doesn’t include women fairly, PLEASE do not complain that they’re being…what, sexist? I don’t understand feminists.

“yo morere y nadian me recordara”
Yessssssssss.

Everything is not alright.

I think we’re drowning.

Or maybe it’s suffocation;

a slow carbon-monoxide transfusion resulting in this

mess in our souls.

You were wounded, and I stood idly by,

reveling in your pain,

because it told me I was important.

I was happy to know I could hurt you.

Monstrous.

We patched things up as best we could, and we

came out

smelling like plastic.

I think we’re numb. I think we’re both pretending to be numb.

I think we’re telling ourselves we’re not hurting.

I think that may just be me.

I think I hurt you more than I can know.

But we’re getting better;

I think we’re comfortable again.

I think the only things plaguing us now are these memories.

And if I thought it possible, I would dedicate my life

to learning how to erase them.

(A dream sharing machine might be a bonus.)

If I bare my neck to you, will it help?

I will cast my ego and my lot at your feet.

Prostrated before you, but still somehow arrogant.

Because I still want to know what I mean to you,

because you’re the only person whose opinion I care about.

Amo ergo sum.

Arrogant, because I know that no matter what your answer is,

I’ll be happy.

I want you to know this;

you mean more to me than anyone else.

(Okay, well, besides my immediate family.

Wow, I set myself up for jerkness no matter how I word it now.

The point is that you still beat like 7 billion or so people.

(Though 99% of those were a given.))

Five minutes on the phone with you would be worth more than anything I can imagine.

And I imagine that that’s so far from normal that it’s aggravating.

But please know that I love you,

even if I’m different from when we met.

Please know that your friendship is my greatest possession.

Please know that even though I can barely form the words,

I feel this way.

I’m afraid this will not end well…”

Is probably the singularly most unsettling thing to ever exist on the internet

can somebody explain this to me…

Either an ascetic personality is evident or you feel that you are steeling yourself for the difficulties ahead in life by withdrawing from the pleasures of the world. There is a feeling that hard work and dedication are what’s needed to solve your problems, and this can become a mania if satisfaction is not found in a reasonable time frame.

 You feel a sharp lack of appreciation from the world around you. There is a rising sense of anger and frustration that your friends or loved ones do not respect you or that they treat you with disdain. Often this will be the result of a hostile workplace. The loneliness that comes with this struggle for admiration will often sap your will or make decision making difficult.

WHAT

I DON’T UNDERSTAND

THIS IS SO PAINFULLY ACCURATE I’M FREAKING OUT HOW DOES THIS WORK.

You are manipulative and demanding, and you expect quite a lot out of a relationship, whether it be friendly or romantic. Furthermore, whether conscious or not, you have a tendency to mediate your attitude toward others in an attempt to get the better of those around you. You are very intelligent, but also suspicious.

 A sense of helplessness is pervasive and detached from the frustrations of day to day life. A work or home environment is perceived as hostile and unchanging. Unreasonable demands are generating resentment and a sense of rebelliousness. This leaves you feeling both helpless and unprotected.

Can’t tell if accurate or if I just pressed random buttons.

You are quite anxious, most likely because of strong feelings that your worth is not being appreciated, either romantically or in the platonic realm. Often you will feel that those around you do not understand you. This leads to a withholding of emotional committment in a romantic relationship and this distance can create problems of its own, exacerbating the difficulties and leading others to view you as cold and calculating.

 You will often assume an attitude of superiority or disdain. This masks a strong sense of inferiority and a need to be loved or respected. The desire that you have for social respect has led you to behave as if you were completely self-reliant, despite the fact that you are terrified of failure. You will take any opportunity to prove your own importance, even to the point of self-destruction. Similarly, criticism can be met with extreme contempt. Displays of respect will help to break down this artificial barrier.

I don’t even. This seems accurate, which is a bit scary… I’d like to think parts of it only used to be true, though.

Movie time. Yay for pretending that things never happened.

AND SOMEHOW I AM COMPLETELY CHEERED UP MOMENTS LATER. Thank you, universe. Glad to see you’re looking out for me.
