Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body (via quotethat)
kill the idea that openly caring characters are boring
set on fire the line of thought that dictates that altruism is a bad thing and that selfishness/sassiness is an inherently more appealing and ‘~intricate~’ quality than an affectionate nature
smash and bury the concept of the false equivalency between angst and complexity
kindness and empathy are not synonyms for “blandness” and “lack of personality”
*casually responds to things after a month of inactivity* alsO hey everyone I will be coming on this blog a bit more soon (hopefully) to pick things up again since I miss Sue so much. anyway you can also like this for a selective starter if you want !!

———— ♚ ❛ I have a RIDDLE for you. ❜
An unusual way to greet her friend – or former friend – as lips were parted into a smirk, reciting words that she practiced in her head over a dozen times. Still, Chris’ vexation knew no bounds.
❛ What’s pasty, and pathetic, with blood all over? && no the answer isn’t one of Lady Gaga’s back-up dancers. Here’s a hint: if a praying mantis and DJ Qualls were to have a kid then shove it into a pool of desperation, our answer to the riddle would be the ( spitting ) image of it. ❜
❝ ...Okay shoot. ❞ though skeptic, her eyes land on her former friend knowing well the kind of profanity and insult which was about to fall out of her smiling lips. she wanted to change things, get her friend back-- but Chris was ruthless with this feud. ❝I don’t --what are you talking about? Chris I swear don’t you dare do anything to mess up this night for Carrie. She doesn’t deserve THAT. ❞
❝ But hardly anybody ever finds out that their actions really, actually hurt other people! People don’t get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don’t stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it. Lots of kids say they feel sorry for Carrie White - mostly girls, and that’s a laugh - but I bet none of them understand what it’s like to be Carrie White, every second of every day. And they don’t really CARE. ❞

———— ♚ ❛ Ha ha. You’re funny. ❜
Chris’ infamous eye roll set foot, cheeks still rosy from smiling as her fingers began playing with a loose drawstring that was attached to the pillow sitting on her lap.
❛ No. Suzanne Snell if you put on anything that even remotely resembles two people falling in love and then having a traumatic experience I will leave. This is our SENIOR year! Pretty soon we’ll both be going off to college giving chubby, pimple-ridden losers a reason to hate themselves like we do now except you’ll be in Yale, or whatever, and I’ll be stuck in some pathetic community college with morons who can’t even afford to breathe the same air as me. I don’t want one of our last few memories to be filled with Kleenex and unnecessary sex scenes – no matter how fun the latter may sound.❜
she leans back, her head falling onto the pillow behind her legs lifting up in one swift motion while she did. the young face scrunched up by her nose, eyes turning back to her best friend.
❝ But Titanic is a classic love story, and it’s intense which is what you like. Though there isn’t much blood, but how do I find a love story with blood and gore? Senior year can totally be filled with a few good movies! Come on, we’re going to have plenty of other memories besides sitting in my bedroom watching a stack of DVDs --and even when we go to college, I expect visits at least every couple of weeks. It won’t be our last memories. Don’t be so dramatic. Besides; isn’t Tina having a party this weekend? There’s another memory right there. ❞
