Unconditional Love: For all the women I have loved... →

I’ve read a lot of great essays about how fandom is female-majority and creates a female gaze and a safe space for women and etc. But spend five minutes in fandom and you’ll have an unsettling question.
Why does a female-majority, feminist culture hate female characters so much?
It’s not a question of if it happens. You know it does. You can go into any fandom and see...

imagine being trapped on a deserted island
no signs of getting home any time soon
no methods of communication
no idea where you are
but your favorite character is there with you
we’d fuck

i like the way you think

a female character can wear a pink dress with flowers n bows and still be a strong character
a female character can wear huge, bulking armor n carry a sword and still be a feminine character
femininity is not exclusively defined by what a character wears, jesus christ

American girls who try to use British slang/spelling to look cool
I don’t use it to look cool. I don’t NOTICE I use it at all until someone points it out. I just watch/read that much British material that the words/spelling become ingrained in my vocabulary.
People who think all American/non-British people who use...

i read this interesting fact the other day that pirates wore eye patches because they frequently transitioned from bright sunlight to darkness below deck and when they went below deck the covered eye would already be adjusted to darkness so they could immediately see really well and not have to wait for their eyes to adjust
THIS IS LEGIT THEY...

My religion teacher, a nun in her 60s, is pro gay...
Nun: People who claim homosexuality is a sin because of their knowledge of the Scriptures need to, excuse my French dear children, need to get their heads out of their asses.
Nun: The Scriptures were written long ago, when science had not discovered what we know today about sexuality.
Nun: We have evolved to a different time, and people who are prejudice against gays and lesbians should grow up.

Some things about tumblr you might not have...
We get emotional over stories and shows: We connect with the characters, the events, and the emotions in shows and movies and books like they are real, and that we personally know the characters. Not all of us may cry over it, but we sure do connect with it. Not only does this show a certain degree of empathy, but also understanding and compassion.
We analyze posts, plot lines, and character development: Heck, sometimes we analyze so deeply that we could write a book about a single post. Dedication and intelligence, damn right I find it awesome.
Writing fan fiction, fan art, and edits: Talent and creativity. Maybe not all of us do this, but the fact that we appreciate it means a lot too and says a lot about ourselves.
'Outside world' posts: We get excited about new scientific discoveries. We make connections between events in real life and fandoms and headcanons. We are at awe over beautiful posts on tumblr about that guy who saved that dog's life by jumping into the river. We support charities, causes, and emphasize over disasters happening on another part of the world. We range from being absolutely fascinated to heartbroken to inspired. Does that say a lot? I think that says a lot.
We stick to our fandoms like family: No kidding, we are loyal to our fandoms. We get emotionally involved, super excited, super enthusiastic, heck we jump around in our seats typing nonsense because we are so excited about something in our fandom that will happen months from now. Family don't end with blood. Damn right it doesn't. Fandom is family.
We appreciate things: Random facts about pirates or dead bodies or parallel universes? We don't dismiss them as stupid or weird, we analyze them and grin over them and sometimes even write stories over them. We appreciate intelligence too. When we see a 5 paragraph long analyzation of a gifset of our OTP or a quote from an episode we don't judge, we applaud it. When we see someone going batshit insane crazily excited over an episode or an event, we don't stare at them, we fucking fangirl with them.
Sure some of us are pretty fucked up, some more than others. Sure the world may be pretty fucked up. Sure there may be a certain amount of fucked up things on this site. But there are some good things too. Some awesome things. Things we do on a day to day basis that we don't really think about. Some of us may do some of these things, some of us may not, but we all have something we can appreciate about this site, about ourselves, and about the fandoms we are in. Heck, this list doesn't even begin to cover it. Buddy, don't be so down on yourself. YOU, are damn awesome.
You say Tumblr and fandoms like it's a bad thing. But honestly, it's the best thing there is.

In the US, we don’t say “I love you” we say “hamburger french fries eagle howdy y’all eagle” which roughly translates to “FREEDOM.” Tragically beautiful.
