Christopher Eccleston Do You Know That I Would Die For You (1 2)

Since childhood, he had suffered from body image problems. He wanted to be androgynous - "Still do, because I feel like a prop forward" - but he knew his mum and dad wouldn't have tolerated their kid dabbling in eye liner on the streets of working-class Salford, where he grew up.
"I could do all the male stuff - I was captain of the sports team and I'd get very physical on the field," he says, "but I also had this interest in femininity. When I did my first play at Eccles college, Lock Up Your Daughters, I wore mascara and I was like: 'This is fucking brilliant!' I was expressing on the outside what I felt on the inside"
My physical appearance, accent and class might suggest machismo, but I'm anything but macho. I'm very much the son of my mother. I'm often cast in tough, gritty roles, but I'm nothing of the sort. We're all forced to put that armour on, but I move through life gently.
Caring for my kids has transformed me. I wish my dad had shown his vulnerability more - I've never wanted to appear tough to my two. I cried when I was with them last weekend, their love makes me emotional. My daughter often says she feels like she has a girl for a dad. I take that as the greatest compliment.

sorry boss can't come in today i was on my way to work and then a gentle spring breeze kissed my cheek and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world

the author's barely disguised longing for a kinder world

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.

I'm just evil like that

I won't apologize for reblogging so much on main This Is Who I Am
