Fucking in love with Mercedes Lackey for making Dirk, the soulmate love-interest of the main character of the novel, just shit ass ugly. Nearly repulsive to look at. I can’t think of many authors today who have the stones to make their characters gross looking

#When did we as a society stop making a big deal about loving people even if they’re ugly #I remember as a kid that it was drilled into me that personality was always more important than looks #while nowadays there’s such a focus on ‘everyone is beautiful omg 😍 even if you think you’re ugly you’re beautiful omg’ that #we’ve forgotten that being beautiful shouldn’t fucking matter. Like 1. ‘Ugly’ and ‘beautiful’ are such subjective concepts that we should #do away with them completely and 2. Ugly people deserve love and happiness #like. No one is going to be able speak society’s beauty standards away in our lifetimes so we might as well strive to simply care less #Mercedes Lackey ily you did more for ugly/weird-looking-people rights in one book than the whole entire body ‘positivity’ movement #arrows of the queen
