Don't kill yourself, please.

If you’re suffering from depression and are looking for a sign to not go through with ending your life, this is it. This is the sign. We care.

If you see this on your dash, reblog it. You could save a life.

“I love the idea of a woman being able to discover the idea of power this way, on such a scale. And I don’t know about that, what it means - well, I guess I’d better, or my part’s in trouble.” - Mary McDonnell, April 28th, 1952

The best of birthdays to this lovely and perfect lady. I am so extremely happy to have the opportunity to meet her this year. I cannot wait.

In Prince Caspian Susan literally throws an arrow fast and hard enough to pierce through a man’s armor and kill him. Savage.

What’s even more savage is the way she stabs the first guy in the crotch before using the same arrow to kill the second guy. Susan’s not messing around.

“Susan the Gentle” was some kind of irony, or a placating turn, the way people used to call a the scary goddess “Good” and “Sweet”.

Please be good to me, please, just for today, be sweet.

Diplomats would come to Narnia and see her pretty face and sidle up to her, avoiding the High King, or the Wise Brother and think, this one they could manipulate.

They were wrong.

Her sweet smile hid the sharpest mind in the kingdom, and she had a sniper’s eye for weakness, and the absolute ruthlessness to take the shot.

They’d stumble away in a daze. Maybe some of them would be convinced she had been kind, too deep in shock to realize how thoroughly she unwound their plots and blunted their aims, yet to realize how they were metaphorically or literally bleeding out.

And Susan may have grown out of Narnia, may have become too much for it to contain. She left the bow and armor behind, she took up different weapons. But if you think for one moment that she used them less effectively, that she some how became less…

Well, you deserve what such ignorance will buy you.
