“That keeps on coming back to me, that sentiment and that idea and how strangely hard it is to be oneself. It feels like it is a lifelong pursuit to dig down and bring whatever is the true self—that mysterious thing of the true self—up to the surface, offering it and giving it because it wants to be given. There are so many opportunities to run away from it. It’s so easy to say: ‘No, not safe, not safe, not safe—I’m going to be rejected or I’m going to fail or I’m going to be disliked or someone won’t understand.’ What I’ve discovered is that if people are not understanding you or you are failing, that often tends to be a good sign.”

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened?
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
What are we holding on to, Sam?
That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man yelling at Dr. Strange saying “You were in the Grand Canyon?! Why didn’t you help him?!” had so much Older Sibling energy. Like he saw this magical adult wizard who was clearly capable of helping Peter (you know, who is a child) and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man was ready to fight Dr. Strange himself when he thought that this adult just left this kid to fend for himself to fuck off to the Grand Canyon for fun
I think all the British hate online is just homophobia. Like be real with me you heard about this quaint, rainy little island where people bum fags and get on their knees for old queens and you just couldn’t handle it, could you? Because they were different.
