“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.
You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?
You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.
You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.
You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.
You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.
You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.
You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.
You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!
You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!
You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.
I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.
And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie
this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

Oh gosh, is it another installment of that one lil' crack AU where Lex and Clark have a baby together, unfortunately(?) for them? Nawww couldn't be. 💚
my kid is turning out just like me. well-played, karma. well-played. “Why are you like this?” Lex asks in exasperation as Superman stares intently at Experiment Thirteen through his office window. Lex didn't open it for him, so he's just floating out there with his nose and hands pressed to the glass. It is extremely irritating. He could just break the damn thing, for fuck’s sake. It’d be less annoying than the smudges he’s leaving. The window washers won’t be here ‘til Thursday. Apparently stalking is fine for sanctimonious alien boy scouts, but property damage is a bridge too far.
love castiel as a character because he feels no emotions for the first kajilion years of his existence and all of a sudden he can feel things now and his first two emotions are queer longing and catholic guilt. literally who else is doing it like him
I wonder if my parents realize that they've already lost me. That my smiles are fake and my eyes are constantly searching for escape routes. That I'm just biding my time until I can be free of them. I wonder if they know that I was never theirs to keep.
It's just so absolutely crazy how close Max and Daniel got despite the things that happened when they were teammates. Max is essentially the reason Daniel left and his career went spiralling. Max is the one who came in and became the golden child when Daniel was the WDC hope after Vettel. Max who watched Daniel with heart eyes from day 1. Daniel who taught Max they can be teammates and friends at the same time. And he left and they missed each other, went on vacations, and introduced each other to their friends circle, who watched one rise and rise, and the other struggle. And it all, ALL, comes down to "if it's not me, I'm glad it's him" and "thank you, Daniel" ALWAYS
so you know how lance is canonically the admin of the aston martin tiktok account?

I'll hate you forever ♥️
who else up thinking about how benson was randy's first and randy was benson's last? benson gave randy his first good day in ages, benson had his last good day ever. randy experienced his first love, benson his last. that day was the first time randy found the courage to start fighting for himself, and also the final time benson lost the courage to keep going.
the start of randy's life. the end of benson's.
