fia's infinite ship list: amy march & theodore laurence, little women vol. 2 (1869)

you don't really think i am such a mercenary creature as i tried to be once, do you? it would break my heart if you didn't believe that i'd gladly pull in the same boat with you, even if you had to get your living by rowing on the lake.

am i an idiot and a brute? how could i think so, when you refused a richer man for me, and won't let me give you half i want to now, when i have the right?

my brain at all times

head over heels for amy and laurie

Little Women Book Review

This book is a masterpiece and I think one of the best books in the entire world.  The book teaches us how to be happy with what we got. The March sisters are happy with their lives. They have the true happiness in their lives because they share literally everything with their family. This book is a periodical drama book. It’s time period was during the civil war in America. The head of the family, ‘Mr. March” joined army. The book represented the family situation during that time. There are four March sisters. They are Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. Each of them consists of different characteristics. Together they help their mother to overcome their father’s absence and help each other to handle their family works. During this time they also learn how to be theirselves.

The March sisters are some of my most favourite characters of all time. I want to describe their unique characteristics.

1. Meg: Meg is beautiful, fashionable and caring. She cares for her family very much. She is very much respoinsible and protective. The only thing that sometimes disturbs Meg is her obsession with luxury and fashion. Despite that she is always ready to accpet what she has been given.

2. Jo: Jo is damn caring type of girl. She is the heart of the March family. She knows the best of every member of the March family. I personally think that Jo is an icon for the feminist. She loves to read and write. She is very much desperate to hold her family together. Books and family are everything Jo cares about.  She is the kind of girl who wont give up anything easily. She is a strong spirited girl.

3. Beth: Beth is my personal favourite among the March sisters. Beth is the calm and quite one. She has love for music. She loves her family more than anything. She is the most optimistic one. She is shy but whenever she becomes friendly with anyone she would be the best companion to him/her. She is literally ready to give away everything she has for the loved ones.

4. Amy: Amy is the youngest one. She has aspirations for arts and paintings. She is a little bit stubborn like her sister Jo and that is why oftewn they two have little sisters fighting. Amy is very much ambitious to achieve her goal. She is the one who thinks further more than the present. 

However the book gives us many messages about the conditions of the women then. Through Jo March’s character we can learn that girls are not confined within anything. Girls can do anything if they have the real aspirations to that. This book also teaches us that family and the bondage between the family members are what worth living for.  This is the kind of book which everyone should read atleast once in his/her life.

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

this... this hit me

this whole movie hit me, and it's not even the first time I've watched it

People saying we need more complex female characters but could barely handle Gwen Stacy (ATSV), Talia al ghul and Amy March.

Amy March is me, I am her.

get mad if you want but I'll always be a hater to (fictional) children idgaf

Little women ramble

So I was just looking at and consuming a bit of little women media and something hit me. And this is just my own feelings you don't have to agree with me. But I think Amy's will almost always be able to understand Jo's better than Jo's will be able to understand Amy's. Btw I am not claiming one is better than the other. My thing is Amy's look at Jo's a lot, they observe and try to understand them. That is kind of how they show their love for them. Amy's love Jo's so much. That is why Amy's fall in love with Laurie. In this one clip I saw someone was saying something about how jo and Laurie's are each other's halves and because of Amy's love for Jo and Laurie basically being so similar to Jo that's why Amy loved him. And to a good extent I think that is true. So it's this all encompassing love that Amy's have for Jo's that make it so they understand Jo better than Jo can understand Amy.

Ramble 3/?

The moment where it suddenly becomes so clear why you didn't like a character. Why when they did certain things you scowled or cringed or even felt a little pain in your heart. It wasn't just because of the character themselves but because they were you and you were them in too many ways. They displayed the bad you saw in yourself. They showed you all the ugliness you saw in yourself, it hit too close to you. For me it was Amy March. I still remember being in my cinema class one day watching Little women seeing it and not quite liking Amy, she seemed so annoying to me each time she showed up on the screen I thought to myself "Why can I not just like her?". And then it hit me too hard, I almost cried in my class. Amy wasn't the problem, it was me. Amy seemed too much like me. I could understand how she was feeling too well and it hurt. She was and is me. It was sad because I saw what Amy didn't. When Laurie had the talk with Jo it hurt. I knew Amy would be so hurt too, once again he went to Jo and it seemed like he was trying to give Jo another chance and that hurt too much. In the end I began to like Amy a bit more after my realization but each time I see little Women I can't help but tear up. And it just goes to show you can like a character and feel connected to them but it also can go for characters you don't particularly like too. Because sometimes it just hits too close to home.

““Well, I believe we have some power over who we love; it isn’t something that just happens to a person.” “I think the poets might disagree.” “Well, I’m not a poet, I’m just a woman.””

— Amy March, Laurie Laurence

favorite character from any media BUT it has to be a woman. in the tags now go (pls talk to me about your favorite fictional women pls pls pls pls)

"I have lots of wishes, but my favorite one is to be an artist in Paris and to do fine pictures and to be the best painter in the world."

"That's what you want too, isn't it, Jo? To be a famous writer?"

"Yes, but it sounds so crass when she says it."
