Carpe diem! DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) / DERRY GIRLS S2 (2019)
My wish for all my favorite characters
you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?
oh i am ABSOLUTELY messed up but it did make me funny
So my boyfriend of almost two years (Dec. 20 is our anniversary) and I just got engaged. His mother is pissed. She's originally from mexico but is an american citizen. Since we've started dating she's made it very clear that she doesn't like me cause I'm white. She's always pressuring my fiancé to date a nice Hispanic girl. Today she did so again right in front of me after knowing for two days that we're getting married.
My fiancé and her don't get along but I want to keep the peace because both of my parents are deceased. The problem is since we've told her she has been extra cruel to me. Calling me ugly and complaining about me being a tomboy. Needling my insecurities. I don't want to be the reason he doesn't have a relationship with his mom.
This situation is tearing me up which in turn tears him up which tears me up even more. I'm not an amazing person but I wish she'd see pass my skin and realize we're good together. Put her love for her son above her prejudices.
I find it somewhat funny because my Texas redneck family completely embraces him, and he gets along great with them. They see we are perfect for one another and accept it.
For us it's never mattered that I'm white and he's Hispanic. We bonded over all our similarities. We're both nerds. We met at work and for six months before we started dating we talked about star wars, batman, and harry potter. I thought I'd always be the girl trapped in the friend zone until he asked me out. He calls me beautiful even though I'm not and I call him dork because he really is. He's a misunderstood goofball who I love and want to spend the rest of my life with him. We're soulmates.

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.
