i'm not really here, but i went to see coriolanus, so here's about 9K NC-17 words of hadley fraser and tom hiddleston gettin' it on.

anybody else notice that soundgarden's 1994 masterpiece superunknown reads like a who's who of the avengers?

( i'm just gonna put this here )

almost everyone who will read this is a woman. of those, some will have experienced (or in some cases continue to experience) revulsion at the trappings of girly-girl-hood. myself, i went through a period as a teenager where it was really intense; it's faded now to the point where i will voluntarily wear pink and/or frilly clothes. within reason. (maybe a tiny bit remains, though i do want to say there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a girly-girl, go hard if you are.)

i recently hypothesized that my affinity for soldiers and/or warriors is related to that part of my life; my fandoms are littered with people behind enemy lines, fighting for their lives. sometimes they're loners, and sometimes they're with a small, tight-knit group who are the only ones who understand what it's like to be under fire, to whom they are insanely loyal. i identify strongly with them, and they are almost invariably men. i found that interesting.

do you find you identify with soldiers or warriors in your TV or movie watching? what are your fighter fandoms? and if you're comfortable identifying yourself as a former or present punk, goth, or girly-girl, maybe speculating about how that affected your relationship to a soldier's story, i'd love to hear about it.

guys, i just wanna say this: we as a society gotta get off our asses and do something about clinical depression.

long story short: it should be easier to survive this thing. people should be safe and i hope we get better at getting them there. rrr.

this rules. it's like Tiny Stories for Fandom Girls. people are posting little things and big, talking to each other about the ridiculous little things we all think about but never say. it's super, you should come play.
