Harrow the Ninth but just the memes Part 1
Part 2
It's only a tiny detail, but I love that Gideon is fastidiously tidy while Harrow is a slob who leaves mounds of dirty clothes lying around her living space. It goes against stereotype for Gideon's boisterous jock personality and Harrow being a fussy nerd, and it makes sense when you think about it
at the end of the day everything Glinda does is about Elphaba. from the moment they become friends, Glinda becomes permanently changed by Elphaba. she is what she is in the second act because of Elphaba, not in spite of her. because she is trying to outrun her and find a way to live without her, because she regrets not going with her and is trying to convince herself she doesn’t. Elphaba only asks Glinda to come with her once, but from then on Glinda spends years trying to outrun her own answer. and in the end she can’t, and she brings herself back to Elphaba anyway.
No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created
i love you intimacy in reverse order. yes we've had sex before and i know all the details of your pleasure, but i don't know anything else. i don't know what it feels like to embrace you carelessly. i can barely hold your hand, the grip is so slight it makes me lose my breath. i want to kiss you but what pressure is the right one? how much is too intimate? yes we've had sex and i've done all these things before - but without the guise of mutual pleasure, can i be sure you won't turn me away? will you allow me the delicate feeling of your hand in mine when you know it is me asking to hold it? i know i've held you before with our clothes off, but can i hold you even tighter? may i listen to the steady sound of your heartbeat? is it alright to look for it in front of everyone? yes, yes of course we've had sex before. i know what you look like naked, ive touched you with the lights off. is it alright to want see you with them on? in the morning, with the sun flitting through the blinds?is it alright to want you when the sun is up? yes we've had sex before but have we ever been intimate? can we be? tell me that it's alright to hold you. no, not like that. just like this.
My affection towards Harrow knows no boundaries like i just saw a cutesy skull hairclip and tag it “for Hawwow” when the girl is literally a 5ft warcrime
