Girls when the homoerotic friendship ends with a stab wound.

some web weavings are so ridiculous like the quote will be “girls love each other like animals” and the photo underneath is tom and greg from fucking succession

Brave they were, and dead they are, the both of them. My sweet boys.

Why is there any question as to why women seem to disproportionately love horror media? Women in horror get shit done. They're the victors. The champions. They're no one's prop and they're not there to be rescued. If there's anyone there to rescue them, they're usually dead by the end. Every character loses except for one. The final girl. The one who wins. In no other genre is that the standard. In no other genre is it normal for a woman to fight tooth and nail to the death and come out on top. Why wouldn't women tend to prefer those stories over any other? Why wouldn't we flock to the only genre that regularly features us as the heroes?

I was too young that time to value her, But now I know her. If she be a traitor, Why, so am I. We still have slept together, Rose at an instant, learned, played, eat together, And wheresoe'er we went, like Juno’s swans, Still we went coupled and inseparable.

- William Shakespeare, As You Like It  

 Loving sisters. We’ll always fight, but we’ll always make up as well. That’s what sisters do: we argue, we point out each other’s frailties, mistakes, and bad judgment, we flash the insecurities we’ve had since childhood, and then we come back together. Until the next time.

i hate when people criticise hamlet because the character hamlet is a bad person. like first of all he is not real. and what he is is a representation of grief. the whole point is that grief and depression make you angry and annoying and obsessive and self absorbed. they make you feel like you’re the only person in the world who feels the way you do. they make you take it out on others. hamlet is a manifestation of grief taken to the extreme. and not to assume things about the personal life of a guy who died 400 years ago but. shakespeare wrote hamlet after his son died. hamlet’s flaws were likely taken from his own grief. hamlet isn’t supposed to be a good person he’s supposed to show how unaddressed grief makes you fall apart and hurt people and it’s not always pretty
