Here are some awesome and empowering quotes from several very strong female celebrities.
And Kristen Stewart.
No, you know what? Fuck you.
Let me tell you about Kristen Stewart.
Let’s talk about how she’s the centerpiece of one of the most inexplicably popular misogynistic pieces of film shit and somehow gets blamed for it sucking, despite the fact that, hey, the books were actually worse. For those who were lucky enough to escape reading the actual books, her apparent lack of emotion is 100% accurate to Bella’s character, because Bella is in fact not a character but a blank white wall for fourteen-year-old girls to project themselves onto. Robert Pattinson is not the only one in the cast who hates Twilight, thank you.
Let’s talk about how she got crucified in the media for having an affair with a married man, when that man was her director. And let’s remember that she was called all manner of things for “ruining her relationship with RPattz” when she wasn’t even engaged to the dude, let alone married with kids. But oh no, she gets called a slut because she’s Kristen Stewart, she gets her career fucked because she’s Kristen Stewart, and the dude gets off scott free.
Let’s talk about how she is incredibly shy and anxious (rather, incidentally, like Chris Evans) but does film anyway, because she’s just that awesome.
Fuck your noise. She’s not the best actor in the world but she sure as hell doesn’t deserve that kind of shit.
So I was scrolling down and just planned on reblogging this for the incredibly strong voices represented above… and stumbled on this fight/rant.
I admit, I didn’t like Kristen Stewart because of Bella, because I let her media presence (not her fault) sway me… And I’ve gotten over that because I’m a changeable human being capable of finding sense when presented with it.
We are so ready, especially as ‘fangirls’, to cuddle the men of Hollywood as our woobies, but turn around and vilify the women as bitches and sluts.
Why is that? Why is that so easy?
Because society is set up to hate on women, and that needs to fucking change.
It’s institutionalized, and it’s internalized.
Women, stop hating on women.
Start / keep raising yourself and other women up.
Societal expectations of sex don’t make any sense
If dudes are expected to have a lot of sex
But ladies are expected to stay virgins until marriage
But homosexuality is bad
I’m really confused who dudes are supposed to be having all that sex with
I love this post.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
in Middle Earth, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal realms of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d brothers make their life
Whose misadventure Sauron overthrows,
And with his death, end their people’s strife.
Their fearful passage, that shall death mark’d prove
And the continuance of their parents’ rage
Which but The One Ring’s end, naught could remove,
Is now, like, twelve hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which of you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.did you just rewrite shakespeare for lord of the rings and make it work better than the original
ENGLISH LITERATURE NERDGASM OF EPIC PROPORTION!
OHFG I NEED TO REBLOG THIS AGAIN BECAUSE OF REASONS!
SOMEONE BROUGHT SHAKESPEARE INTO THIS

Meanwhile on Deviantart…
Oh, it’s on!
Did you notice that it’s like that because they made it a verb, not the name of the website?
They didn’t put “Twitter,” they put “Tweet.”
I’m actually curious, is the verb around here “tumbl” ? Or do we put the “e” on when making it an action…
John and Barsad.
JohnBunny couldn’t contain himself any longer… he had to boop his nose against Barsadbunny’s. It was calling to him. It was twitching that twitchy twitch that bunnynoses twitch when they’re… twitchy. It required a nose boop.
Barsadbunny was surprised by the sudden boop… and not entirely pleased.
This insane little corner of fandom is making Easter so much more special this year.

WHY ARENT THERE ADULT-SIZED PLAYGROUNDS
LIKE EVERYTHING IS THE SAME AS A KIDS PLAYGROUND
BUT BIGGER
WHY DO WE NOT HAVE THOSE
theme parks. just. theme parks.
but u have to pay for theme parks
that’s the adult part
son of a bitch
I was just talking to coworkers about this the other day…
Honestly, I think society would benefit from never losing the daily recess concept we instill in young children. Around where I live, recess is reduced more than half between grades 4 and 5, by 7th grade it doesn’t exist at all.
What would the world be like if we got daily recess, on a playground, age-appropriate of course, throughout our schooling and even into our adult lives?
Not a fucking pay-to-enter theme park, but PLAYGROUND RECESS.
Places where the middle of the day is far too hot to work have a tradition of pausing to take a break, right? Well, life is fucking stressful, and I think a daily recess would help people cool off, let some steam out. Have a company dodgeball tourney or something, or play some office manhunt.
Recess, man.
honestly though I will never get over the fact that JRR Tolkein had enough creativity to make up an entire goddamn language but he named a mountain “Mount Doom.”
Uhm… Yeah, that.
“Alternative names, in Tolkien’s invented language of Sindarin, include Orodruin (“fiery mountain”) and Amon Amarth (“mountain of fate”).” -Wiki
I remembered the Orodruin (though I would not have spelled it correctly from imperfect memory) bit without even looking anything up.
I won’t ask “Did you even read the books?” because there’s a whole movie fandom, and that’s PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE… except the movie fandom can’t claim any problems rest with the TEXT without reading said text.
Bam.

It’s a shame how obeying each and every one of these rules would stifle some of the flow and creativity (yes, and rule-bending) which makes the art in literature, original or derivative.
Some of the best writing I know breaks a good number of these supposed rules, and frequently. Language is not and has never been a stagnant thing. It is always evolving, always morphing into this and that new form that engages readers or listeners. Imagine if we all wrote exactly the same way, used all of the same tropes and phrases and references.
BOR-ING.
Some of these are logical, if the “don’t” instance is performed in a contrived way, or a too-frequently-used manner. However, I am a firm believer in “anything-goes” with writing, if it is made to work and fit seamlessly. People tend to be too uppity about “proper use of the language,” even though I correct grammar and spelling on a daily basis (when it is needed).
Maybe that’s why I decided not to teach English Lit…
“I began to feel that he was a character who, left to his own devices, wouldn’t really speak at all.”
Ben Whishaw on Grenouille
#Realizing I knew Ben Whishaw before Skyfall… and didn’t put them together.
In which Barsad is the one entrusted to manhandle Talia.
Can we talk about how Barsad and Talia are the same height?
…And then that LOOK she gives Bane?… That, my friends, is not Miranda Tate looking at a hostage-holder… that, dear ones, is badass Talia al Ghul looking at Her Protector.
