Bertie vs marina royal

How did I ever think the British Children’s Writer Jacqueline Wilson was straight?:

Jacqueline Wilson describing a boy character: He had dark hair and bright blue eyes, with a friendly smile and stylish clothes.

Jacqueline Wilson describing a girl character: She resembled a goddess, with golden curls that reached her waist, shimmering in the sunlight. Her emerald eyes burned bright with a courageous fire which matched her powerful smirk which left me feeling weak at the knees. Her midnight blue velvet crop top revealed her slim, flawless stomach which was the same ivory hue as the rest of her body, as if she were a priceless diamond.

It’s an exaggeration, sure, but can you tell me I’m wrong?

I know we all like to joke about how fucked up jacqueline wilson's books are, but my sister jodie is just in another league of insane. I don't know what she was even trying to do with that book. you just spend the entire story watching jodie have a worse and worse time. her mum constantly nagging her, a creepy gardener advancing on her, then she starts getting bullied, then she gets humiliated and even loses favour with the little kids, and all the while her little sister is thriving and doing so much better than her. and this all cumulates in her going up into a tower room to do a prank and fucking falling to her death. and that's it. she mcfreaking dies because she got smashed into a trillion pieces and the book just ends

truly what the fuck am I supposed to take from this?? what point is this book trying to make?? 'sometimes things are horrible and they never get better, actually'?? 'treasure the people you love because one day they might die in a freak accident'?? maybe it's trying to be a tragedy, but I feel like tragedies still have a point to them, like there's something to learn from the way things turned out. my sister jodie has none of that. this book fucked me over as a kid but I can't even sit down and reread it as an adult because it's just that fucking morbid.

I'm becoming a lesbian Hetty Feather truther.

She only has two male love interests across all the books: her literal brother, and the first boy who was ever nice to her without being one of her brothers. Other than that she shows zero interest in any men ever, even ones everyone else finds attractive. She has nothing but either dislike or complete indifference for literally every male she meets past the age of 14. And she NEVER gushes about or acts desperate for attention from Jem or Bertie the way she does Marina Royal.

In fact, Jacky specifically wrote in Bertie getting annoyed and jealous by Hetty spending so much time with Miss Royal and talking about her constantly when she is with Bertie. She LITERALLY wrote in Bertie telling Hetty that Miss Royal has never shown any interest in marrying or settling down with a man, and Hetty happily saying "How marvellous!" in response. TO BERTIE'S FACE

Plus even before she joined the music hall, while our girl Hetty was displaying complete indifference to every man or boy, she was repeatedly forming deep intense emotional bonds with girls left right and centre. She literally shared a bed with Freda for a while, and talked about missing that for like a year afterward.

PLUS we all know Hetty is basically Jacky's wish fulfillment mary sue self insert by this point, and what's Jacky? Super gay.

The way I would tell my BF no if he didn’t first ask my father for my hand before proposing like what do you mean you didn’t ask my dad!!!!!??????

[lythinksabittoomuch]

asking ur bfs mom would be the same thing as asking him asking your dad... if you gotta ask how it would work then you know its sexist as all hell

No I mean like how would that actually work when engagements are supposed to be a surprise? Typically the “can I have your blessing to marry your daughter” thing happens in secret as men propose usually unannounced.

@ people who were not born in Ireland and particularly Americans

- It is not Patty’s Day, it is Paddy’s Day. Patty is short for Patricia, Paddy is short for Pádraig which has been anglicised to Patrick. - It is not Gaelic, it is Irish. In Irish, the language is called Gaelige but that’s pronounced Gwayl-geh. - Literally no one in Ireland has ever eaten corned beef and cabbage - We have also never said top of the morning - If you pinch an Irish person for not wearing green on Paddy’s Day they’re likely to slap you. - Why do you dye your drinks green? - It is not “North Ireland” it is “Northern Ireland”. It is not “South Ireland” it is “The Republic of Ireland” or just “Ireland”. - No, I do not know the Dohertys of Mayo. - Please, if you must, do things for the craic and not the crack. Cocaine is not a great habit lads. - Drinks like the “Irish car bomb” and the “black & tan” are incredibly offensive (you wouldn’t drink a “9/11”)

However

- Wearing green is grand - Having a few drinks is also grand, they don’t even need to be Irish (I drink a Swedish cider most of the time) - Aye sure queue up some Irish music on youtube it’s great. - If you want one Irish word to use throughout the day a good one is Sláinte (pronounced slawn-sha) - it’s the equivalent of saying “cheers” before you drink!

Sorry for who-posting in the year 2019 but the Doctor is actually so named because he wrote and successfully defended a dissertation at an accredited university whereas the Master completed a 2-year graduate program in his chosen field, which points to the existence of a third less-advanced and less-specialized counterpart, the Bachelor

i am on my knees asking, BEGGING, for the PJO (tv series) fandom to not ship walker and leah.

first off, they’re both minors. second, they are actual people, they are not actually percy and annabeth.

i’ve been in far too many fandoms where the line between shipping two characters and shipping the actors that play them gets blurred, and it (more often than not) ruins their friendship irl. so PLEASE let these two CHILDREN be separate from their characters.

new game

not ‘have they died before’ but ‘are they currently alive’. if they came back to life and something seems weird then vote whatever you think is best

[lythinksabittoomuch]

Post that will get me labelled a psyop but honestly the moment that a party realizes that "you might not like us but you have no choice but to vote for us because otherwise the fascists win" is an effective way to rake in votes it practically ensures that they'll never take any actual meaningful action against the fascism problem. They gotta keep the fascists around bro they're their electoral strategy.
