THE BEAUTIFUL CORDELIA

[grace-lightwoodd]

when the essay prompt lets me get a little autistic with it

#wrote a research paper for English and I compared the book to the Medea because of course I did #the book was beloved by Toni Morrison btw

I'm constantly forgetting about the existence of this art but whenever I see it I physically gasp. What gave anyone the right to be this beautiful

We need better queer representation in shows movies and books

We need queer POC

We need people who don't want to label their gender or sexuality

We need trans people who's transition goals aren't to look cis

We need queer people with diverse religions

We need queer people who use pronouns that don't "match" their gender

We need aromantic and asexual characters

We need disabled queer people

We need queer people who use multiple labels for themselves

We need queer people who's entire personality isn't being queer

We need queer people who aren't just there because of romance

We need real and diverse queer people in the media

“we are married, and we will remain married, and in love, until the stars burn out of the sky.”

Cordelia and James from Chain of Thorns by @cassandraclare

everyone else describing alastair carstairs: he looks so rude standing there with his arms crossed, and a permanent frown on his face.

thomas lightwood describing alastair carstairs: alastair, with his regal posture, and beautiful skin walks the earth like an angel. his skin looks so ethereal in summer, but in the winters? his skin is a few shades lighter and his eyelashes look an even darker onyx. his eyes are like lotus, and his eyelashes frame them like petals of a flower. his sense of humor makes my heart immensely warm, and i am filled with euphoria every time he as much as looks at me. he was sculpted by donatello, the universe, love itself. his eyes twinkle like glimmering stars on a pale night. the way he carries himself would bring actual princes to their knees because he is filled with golden, blazing glory. beauty has one name and it is alastair esfandiyār carstairs. he is the altar and i am its caretaker. he is the only god i will worship willingly, in fact, i will literally throw myself at his feet if it will make him look at me even —

Proceeds to ignore introverted teens.

Proceeds to ignore asexual teens.

Proceeds to ignore alosexual teens who aren’t that interested on sex.

Proceeds to ignore teens who have trauma involving intimacy or substance abuse.

Proceeds to ignore the neurodivergent teens that aren’t comfortable at parties.

Proceeds to ignore the neurotypical teens who also aren’t comfortable at parties.

Proceeds to ignore teens who don’t engage in these activities due to religious reasons.

Proceeds to ignore teens who don’t engage in these activities simply because they don’t want to.

Proceeds to ignore every experience that isn’t yours.

Alastair repeatedly asking Cordelia about her love life but then immediatley jumping off a moving carriege as soon as Cordelia mentions Thomas will never not be funny to me

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.
