*tries To Fix Sleeping Schedule* *makes It Worse*

white people who have signed petitions and donated if you’re able to, the next thing we should do is look inside ourselves. question your way of thinking, the way you were raised, your history books and the movies you watch. ask yourself why they look the way they do and what you’re doing to help it stay that way. you might not see yourself as a racist person, but we’ve grown up with privilege in a racist world. it’s time we pick ourselves and the way we think apart. actively seek out books and articles and documentaries by and about black people and their history. learn and share the resources you find with your white friends and family. make them understand the difference between our fear of feeling uncomfortable or scared and black peoples fear for their lives. it’s not one and the same. one of us can afford looking away and closing our eyes and the other can not. it’s about time we don’t either. it’s not a movie or show we can switch away from, it’s happening right now so wake up. to see change we must change. we must be angry, at the world and at ourselves. 

to everyone in america who are protesting, please stay safe. and to every black person, black people in the lgbtq+ community, black people with disabilities: you matter, your lives matter, your safety matter, your children matter, your future matter. I love you, please stay safe❤️

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

different viewpoints

sometimes i’m normal but then sometimes i think about the endless religious symbolism and parallels in the raven cycle and i want to chew on glass. like something something cabeswater and eden. adam’s name, his being made ‘from dust’, his pursuit of knowledge beyond the circumstances of his birth. ronan being referred to as ‘the snake’: the one who always tempts adam into recklessness. ronan and declan and cain and abel (i wash my hands of him) (i am not my brother’s keeper). gansey’s resurrection, his third birth. ‘important things come in threes?’ ‘or sevens’. ronan and joseph kavinsky and joseph the prophet with their strange dreams that overlap into the real world. dreaming as a form of blasphemous creation. the three fox way women and the holy trinity. aurora lynch and the virgin mary and matthew lynch and the infant jesus - immaculate conception, pure souls without sin. absent yet overly mythologized fathers. i am going to throw up

Those links for all asking Deadly history of women using perfume as poison -Girlhood, medusa and female rage -The allure of gothic horror -Essays and thoughts on girls in horror -Why girls get hungry in horror -Mothers and witches -Women in horror -The female poisoner -female werewolves -Monstrous women - Catherine Lundoff -Female cannibals and consumptive horror -Horror films directed by women -Women, killer plants and annihilation -Female identity within the gothic genre -Women in horror - the vvitch -the vvitch, female sexuality in horror -Angela Carter - The beast is female sexuality -Body horror/monster reading list -Consumptive horror

am I just supposed to move on from the fact that when Niall says Ronan he means knife or poison or revenge and when Declan says Ronan he means an insult and when Gansey says Ronan he means do you need help? and when Matthew says Ronan he means please but when Adam says Ronan he just means Ronan
