“Everyone Finds Different Lessons In Stories, I Suppose, But Here’s One: Having A Heart Is Terrible,

Taylor Swift didn't write things like "Lost in your current like a priceless wine"// "Wherever you stray I follow"// "I'm begging for you to take my hand"// "Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind"// "Show me the places where the others gave you scars"// "Every bait-and-switch was a work of art"// "You know that my train can take you home, anywhere else is hollow" for you to not believe in love

I love how Kos is supposed to be about demons and alliances and how Zoyalai literally have to run a kingdom but then there's this-

Chaol Westfall and Dorian Havilliard to Aelin Galathynius at some point.

“You can call me Rowan. That’s all you need to know.” He cocked his head to the side, a predator assessing prey. “Thank you for the oil,” he added. “My skin was a little dry.”

He never specified that only you had to wear it.

Her throat tightened and she shook her head.

What?

You just … She shook her head again. Surprise me sometimes.

Good. I’d hate for you to get bored.

This is the level of badass-ness I wanna achieve.

The whole point of inclusion and diversity in a show is so people can watch it and actually relate to the characters and be like "YES, SHE'S SMART AND BEAUTIFUL AND SUCCESSFUL AND SHE LOOKS LIKE ME, THEREFORE I CAN BE THOSE THINGS TOO". As someone who cried when Amita and Jessie talked about diversity in the industry, and as someone who's brown, I think it's safe to say that I found this whole ordeal to be disgusting.

90% of the content I've consumed in my life has been white-culture based. I grew up watching films and reading books that portrayed people who were nothing like me.

When S&B announced its casting and literally made it's whole marketing strategy 'Diversity' I was beyond happy. Amita talking about how hard she had to work to be able to do a pushup, let alone be INEJ made me have mad respect for her and the whole crew.

So seeing a white woman being PAINTED BROWN TO DO STUNTS FOR A CHARACTER WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE BROWN really really stung. I don't know who's decision this was, and frankly I don't care. This one thing has changed so many people's perspective on a show that's literally based on a group of people who don't care about what the others look like, or where they're from, and love them regardless.

I really hope they take accountability for this and apologize. Because this may seem like a really little, meaningless thing to some white people, but it's a big deal to all those kids who read the books and then were BEYOND EXCITED TO WATCH THE SHOW. One brown woman in a netflix show that remained #1 for 13 days represents all those brown girls who believe that they too, would be accepted for WHO THEY ARE, NOT WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

Netflix, do better.

Marvel sweetie you didn't have to take the "when pride month is over, gay people will disappear" thing too far<3

I feel like everyone on tumblr is just the same person in slightly different fonts. Like we all love books, simp over fictional characters, want to live in a cottage in the woods, want to learn old forgotten languages, love kitties, know specific details about random stuff, like pretty rocks, want to run in an empty castle wearing a gown, love taylor swift and lorde and hozier, are anxious and mildy sad, love iced coffee or tea, and are sick of waiting for our teenage dream.

Ps ~this isn't me trying to generalize, it's just an observation lmao.
