Web weaving about the untold story in you !

jean-yves moreau character of all time!!! like what do you MEAN he was sold into a cult at 14 and endured horrific abuse and he still has a bottomless capacity for love!!! what do you mean he knew nothing but cruelty growing up but he’s still capable of so much gentleness!!!! what do you mean he was supposed to die in every single draft until nora came back to the series years later and decided to give him a different ending!!!! what do you mean he had to endure every single day and now he finally gets to live!!!! he makes me ILL every time i think about him i want to clutch my chest and whimper

For the sake of updating this?? I did. A postage stamp with a peach on it :) Postage stamp because of the postcards, peach for obvious reasons, little 11¢, and then put it on my ribs... Most English major thing I've ever done ngl

And if I get a peach tattoo because Jeans pure happiness at having a peach (and him hiding it for later) brought me to tears, then what??

Life is Strange should just be called Bisexuals Go Through Pain and Depression Simulator at this point.

Really interesting that in a Buzzfeed article of TFATWS, Anthony Mackie wasn’t in the image they used to advertise it. Or mentioned in the caption. Despite the fact that he’s, you know, supposed to be the literal protagonist.

A Study on Richard Cameron, if you want to call it that

I know he was a stick in the mud, and he was also a buzzkill, but he was no older or younger than the rest of them. Probably eighteen/seventeen years old.

You see from the beginning, he was always trying to help with homework, and he was studious. That’s not a bad thing in any sort.

He WANTED to be in the Dead Poets. He WANTED to participate and have fun.

He was their friend. A dear friend, however ornery he may be.

Now, one may be thinking: ‘He blamed Keating for Neils death!’ Yes, he did. But I also blamed the doctors for my Papas death, which was completely unavoidable.

One of the five stages of grief is Anger. He was angry, hurt, and didn’t know what to do. He probably heard others blaming Keating.

Cameron was seventeen, maybe eighteen. He was a child. He was always a follower. He followed what others said. And others said Mr Keating and the Dead Poets.

Cameron was a Dead Poet. He probably was blaming himself even more than Keating.

obsessed with the way that gothic horror is about horror but never directly. it’s not horrific because there’s a haunted house and that’s scary, it’s horrific because the monster isn’t a monster, it’s your grief, your loss, your pride, your desire, your fear. the monster skulking in the shadows, the darkness at the edge of the woods, the haunted house that is too broken to be a home—those are manifestations of events that grabbed onto the fabric of time in a fit of abject horror and clamped down so tightly that they couldn’t keep moving forward toward resolution and eventual dissipation like they were supposed to. it’s all about the scared child and the mourning mother and the hunger in your gut and the little emptiness in your chest at the end of the day. those things are all little horrors but you can’t approach them directly to understand them, so gothic horror gives us these little metaphors and says “here play with these for a while and see what you find.” and all of those metaphors need someone to go back to childhood to release them. you have to care, and be curious and clever, and look for a way to heal the hurt. you have to be so achingly human to survive in gothic horror

One of the most essential things about Dark Academia to me is the reclaimation. Like there’s something powerful about mostly women, lgbt people, people of color, and low income people seeing a space to which we’re not entitled and saying “no we’re gonna take it”. Like the fact that the fashion is made of taking men’s thrift store clothes and the concept of finding our own interpretations of literature and art which go against Eurocentric academic norms. This is a really disorganised post but I hope I’m getting my message across

every day the cameron apologist in me grows stronger
