What else did they expect?

My generation, generation Z, is going to be the one that changes things for good. In America, after yet another school shooting, instead of just accepting the “our thoughts and prayers to the families” that is normally said, the students actually did something. They began to stand up and speak for harsher gun control laws. These same STUDENTS organised one of the largest protests in AMERICAN HISTORY, with an estimated 1.2 - 2 million people taking part in over 800 cities world wide.

We are a generation raised in a society of “girls rule boys drool”, of girls being given toy kitchens and hoovers whilst boys played with cars, Lego and army men, of girls being told to wear skirts and be careful to sit so you don’t accidentally flash your underwear whilst boys were told to run free and do whatever they want.

But, we are also the generation that grew up on a diet of tales about heroes and villains where the heroes stand up and win. We grew up on Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Divergent and Marvel movies. All things where the heroes fight back and WIN. But then the adults stripped away our hope, our futures and then backed an unqualified business man for president over a woman with political experience and they’re shocked children are fighting back. They’re surprise that we’re all like the heroes we grew up with. What else did they expect when we are the generation raised in the aftermath of 911, the recession, the Iraq war, the 7/7 bombings and increasing numbers of terror attacks? We grew up with Disney movies that taught us to speak our minds, to let ourselves to be heard and now this generation has begun to speak out.

In the word of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States,

“Every generation needs a new revolution.”

This is ours. In America, they fight for stricter gun control laws. Everywhere, we fight for equality for EVERYBODY.

The generations that came before us may have began the battle for equality, but we’re the generation that will fix it.

It was always going to be us.

Why wouldn’t it be us?

sick of a lot of bs right now so,

Reblog if you support male writers who have a mainly female audience!

it’s sickening to see people give anonymous hate to male writers just because they’re male and the fanbase they have is more female than not. honestly unfollow me if you think it’s wrong. i myself am a male writer, and i can tell you that only a few guys actually follow my writing blog. it makes no fucking sense as to why you should have a problem with this.

I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry.

Is OP aware that oh so many books exist on this subject?

And that almost universally the ones authored by people with doctorates in classicism and mythology disagree with OP?

Including the… epic hymn that first told this story? You know what’s in that original source material… right?

Abducted, yes. Demeter mourned? Definitely. Rape, no.

So here’s some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the father’s permission, which Hades got before he took her away.

Here’s a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone who’s ever dabbled in things like explication and context)

Here’s a link to another book that talks about Persephone’s rise to power as a result of her willingly eating the pomegranate seeds.

Oh shit!!

Here’s a whole bunch of myths and hymns that talk about her Queen of the Underworld badassery!!

Holy pug tacos Batman!!

Here’s another book about the myth focusing on the seasonal religious and liminal rites. WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE DRY SUMMER (not the fucking winter), which you know if you read a book.Way to go, OP!

All these fucking books! What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?

A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?

Maybe next time, you stringy piece of over-boiled okra, you might want to take your own advice and pick up a book, instead of reducing the feared and respected Queen of the Underworld who held power equal to or in many interpretations GREATER than her husband into a meaningless pastiche of female disenfranchisement that you seemingly plucked from your own ass.

word count: 1.6k words

When do you know you’re in love?

The question has been swimming around in Todoroki’s mind for the entire week and every time it surfaced, your face was the only thing he could think about. He knew he definitely liked you — in fact, he liked you a lot. You always made his heart race and he thought everything about you was everything beyond perfect.

But even then, was that enough to consider it love?

Frankly, Todoroki wasn’t even sure he knew what love was. But he knew one thing for sure; a lesson he learned after he watched his family fall apart due to the lack of it. Love was precious, something to be cherished and not to be thrown around or taken lightly.

That’s why he hasn’t had his first kiss yet — he was saving it. He knew he wanted it to be special, and he only wanted to share it with someone he really really liked. And for whatever reason, the only person who came to his mind…

Was you.

Shoto was standing in front of your door now, staring thoughtfully into the fire burning in his hand as it illuminated the dark hallway. His heart leapt and jumped like the flickering flame in his palm, the light dancing across the strong features on his face. You guys spent a lot of time together, but the moments he always looked forward to were the ones where he’d visit your room at night and spend some alone time together, away from everyone else.

He wasn’t entirely sure why, but he enjoyed these moments the most. There was just something about the late timing and your infatuating presence that made his heart flutter. The thought of seeing your beautiful face again caused goosebumps to rise on his skin, and a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He exhaled, releasing all his pent up anticipation, and lightly rapped his knuckles on your door.

His senses were heightened in the dark and he heard some shuffling from the other side. A soft click was heard before you opened the door just a crack to see who it was. Your eyes lit up when you saw his face, illuminated by the flame in his hand, and you beamed as you welcomed him in. Evidently, you were eager to see him too.

Shoto stepped in, eyes immediately drawn to the large bedside window. Your curtains were still drawn and he could see that the full moon was out tonight, big, bright and beautiful. He extinguished the fire in his hand, leaving the two of you alone in the gentle glow of the moonlight.

“Hey...” you said quietly, reaching for his hand.

“Hey,” he smiled softly, taking your hand and intertwining his fingers with yours. They were still warm.

You led him Todoroki your bed where you both sat down to talk and spend some time together before going to sleep, just like you always did. Something felt different about today though — the romance in the air was more potent than usual. Shoto wasn’t sure if it was the fullness of the moon tonight or how the light was bathed you in a perfect angelic glow, but he felt the butterflies in his stomach slowly beginning to stir.

Suddenly the mattress dipped as you bounced up and down excitedly, recalling something that had happened earlier that day. Your eyes lit up and he watched as you gestured animatedly, trying to recreate the scene for him. But the longer he stared at you, the more your words seemed to fade into the background until all he could focus on was how beautiful you looked in the moonlight.

He loved the way your eyes brightened as you blabbered on aimlessly, the sparkle within them mirroring the stars that littered the sky outside. He loved the way they crinkled when you laughed, your smile lines creasing as your mouth opened to release that melodious sound. Then you smiled sheepishly, a light chuckle leaving your lips that sent his heart into overdrive. And the way you were looking at him now, with your huge innocent orbs made you look just like a puppy.

God. You were so cute. So, so cute.

“Sho? Are you alright? You haven’t said anything…” you said, cocking your head to the side and causing your hair to cover part of your face.

Your question went unanswered because Todoroki wasn’t listening. He was completely entranced by your beauty that your words didn’t even register in his brain. All he could think about was how he wanted to admire your beautiful face, and how your hair was now covering those gorgeous eyes that he would gladly get lost in forever. Tenderly, he reached his hand out and gently tucked those loose strands behind your ear.

There, better.

You blushed and looked down at your lap, shyness taking over you. He had no idea how his heart was not physically bursting out of his chest right now because it sure felt like it.

You glanced up at him through your pretty lashes, orbs huge, round and doe-like. His eyes drifted down to your lips. Your soft petal pink lips.

Was this it? Was he going to have his first kiss?

His eyes flicked back up to yours, worried his thoughts would be exposed if he stared for too long, yet hoping so dearly that you were thinking the same thing.

The air was thick with anticipation as you gazed into each other's eyes, a silent longing settling between you as your souls reached out for one another, begging to be connected.

You looked at him with such love and longing, and suddenly, redness blossomed on the apples of your cheeks. Then, he remembered.

Right. This was your first kiss too.

The butterflies in his stomach were in a frenzy, threatening to burst forth to finally taste the sweetness of freedom. Your gaze was electric and both your intentions became apparent as you drew closer and closer to one another.

You were so close now, and he could feel the heat radiating from your cheeks. Your scent was intoxicating, the smell of flowers filling his senses as he breathed you in. There wasn’t a single thing he didn’t adore about you.

He unconsciously slid his hand up to cup your face, longing to touch you and feel your skin beneath his hands. His thumb tenderly caressed your cheek, and you leaned into his touch, basking in all of his love and affection.

Slowly, your heads leaned in and your eyes fluttered shut. Todoroki’s heart was racing a million miles an hour, and his stomach was in knots. It was like the anticipation before the final drop of the rollercoaster.

He held his breath as he moved closer, closer, until finally, your mouths melded together.

Then came the free fall.

It felt like he was floating in the air, like everything was pure bliss. Your lips were soft and sweet as nectar, just like he imagined them to be. The kiss was slow and steady, unlike the erratic pounding of his heart against his chest.

You reached up and gently gripped his forearm, drawing a contented sigh from his lips as he felt you holding onto him.

The city lights were like fireflies in the distance, and the moon seemed to smile and shine a little bit brighter as it gazed upon the two lovers below, sharing this precious moment together.

Eventually you both parted, and Todoroki quietly gasped for air. It seemed you had taken his breath away in more ways than one. He leaned his forehead against yours, imprinting the feeling of your lips in his brain forever. He closed his eyes, trying to calm the rapid pouding inside his chest.

“My heart is beating really fast,” he smiled. You laughed.

Ah, what a magical sound.

Silence fell, but it wasn’t awkward. It was comfortable. Comforting. Just to be in your presence, to feel you near him. It was all he ever wanted and he definitely didn’t want the moment to end.

“Stay with me,” he said. “Please.”

A giggle left your lips and you smiled, not wanting to part from him either.

“Okay.”

Todoroki beamed and he lurched forward, engulfing you in his arms and then pulling you on top of him as he fell back onto his bed. You squealed and laughed at his actions, the vibrations tickling his chest as he smiled down at you in adoration. You rolled onto the space beside him, laying your his chest as he wrapped his arm around you. Your fingers found each other and intertwined themselves and he brought your hand up to his lips. Todoroki kissed your knuckles and you snuggled into his side as you both stared outside the bedside window, up at the starry expanse above.

It felt like the world had stopped and had given him this moment, this one moment where it was just the two of you and no one else. And he couldn’t imagine sharing it with anyone else.

“Y/N?”

“Hmm?”

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he paused as he contemplated them once more. You turned around to face him as you waited for him to continue. Todoroki looked into your eyes, the same ones he fell in love with, and smiled softly. The moon and stars were just outside the window, yet his entire universe was right there, in front of his very eyes. And then he knew, without shadow of a doubt.

“I love you.”

You blushed and buried your head in his chest out of embarrassment. His chest rumbled as he laughed, which caused you to look up at him again. You were absolutely breathtaking.

“I love you too,” you beamed, pecking his lips before settling back down into his arms. Warmth bloomed in his chest as he smiled at his new revelation.

Todoroki was madly in love.

And he was madly in love with you.
