Moi je veux mourir sur scène Devant les projecteurs Oui, je veux mourir sur scène Le cœur ouvert tout en couleurs Mourir sans la moindre peine Au dernier rendez-vous Moi je veux mourir sur scène En chantant jusqu'au bout

Mourir sans la moindre peine D'une mort bien orchestrée Moi, je veux mourir sur scène C'est là que je suis née.

Personal Mythology: Tragic Women in Literature

Journal Date: February 2, 2021 The second practice Estés recommends in Warming the Stone Child is this: “Remember back to childhood, your favorite fairytale, and consider that that fairytale actually became your myth, the guiding light of your life. And if that fairytale had a really rotten negative ending on the end of it, then you may wish to choose a new ending. You may wish to actually sit…

just started the X-Files after years of Pop Culture osmosis, parody, references and memes

But holy shit did none of you prepare me for the pathetic wet cat rizz of Fox Mulder. Puppy dog eyes every other scene. He loses every stand off with every other government agent, military op, co-worker he bumps into. Sassy little quips in between getting his ass kicked and the puppy dog eyes. he's deeply traumatized. he has no social life. he never knows whats going on. he's one of the smartest people in any room he's in and knows more than most what's going on.

This guy is just sopping wet vibes, desperate need to believe, and love for Scully. Character of all time.

#the x files #x files #fox mulder #dana scully #x files season one #he drinks his respect women juice #he has a tragic past #he tries so hard #whats not to love #and contratsed with scully who is angry cool wicked smart tough as hell would trust her with my life

day 9: it's time for crime ♡

(prompt list for femslashfeb)

#minifemslashfeb2023 #ace attorney #aurametis #aura blackquill #metis cykes #'shut up simon. you know exactly how I felt about her.' etc etc #aura blackquill's villain origin story was having love in her heart #isn't that tragic!!! #does it justify her actions? perhaps not #does it make her sympathetic? some may say no #to me she is so sad though. to me she is so sad #she lost everything that day and she never got it back #she lives bitter and resentful and mad with grief #p.s. i love aura and I have so many thoughts about her #it's about letting women be messy and vengeful!!!

Look, I know that we all love Jo and Amy, and Beth is an absolute angel, but I think the Little Women fandom is really sleeping on how relatable Meg is for being the only one of the March sisters to respond to having a bad day by sitting down in the middle of the floor and bursting into tears.

#Little Women #Louisa May Alcott #Meg March #“The jelly won't jell” is perhaps one of the best lines in all of literature. #It's both incredibly funny and pathetically tragic.

me when I realize how willing Alicent was to die for her son (she stood between him and a dragon. what was she meant to do? she could do nothing against a dragon. even if she shielded him from the flames, it wouldn't be enough to save him. she stood there, knowing if Rhaenys was set out to kill her son she would go with him. she stood there accepting that if her son died she would go with him. she would protect her baby with her last breath. she would go out holding his hand, head held high, bathed in fire because there was nothing she wouldn't do for her children):

#every time I think about them I cry #that whole episode is worth crying over #the whole scene was beautiful and tragic and heartbreaking #but the love she has for her son in that moment is just.... #there are no words #she was always less fond of dragons #bordering a fear of them #but that didnt stop her #she didnt even hesitate #better yet she ran to him #putting him behind her snd taking hold of his hand #she faced off to Meleys #that takes gaul #my women #she was Mother #mother was mothering #in such a tragic way #and I can't handle it #alicent hightower #aegon ii targaryen #aegon targaryen #queen alicent #pro team green #hotd #house of the dragon #second post on this scene cause I need everyone to know how much it means to me

Everyone adapting Dracula: so what do you think of our adaptation?

Me: I don’t love all the toxic sexist stuff you put in ngl.

Them: no no it’s fine. the book was written in the 1800s so....

Me: ok but was any of this stuff you added actually in the book?

Them: ... no

Me: Wasn’t the book about the 1800s version of a gnc power couple with their poly coded friend group fighting the embodiment of assault and toxic relationships?

Them: hm yeah idk. it was written in the 1800s so like. it’s gotta have strict gender roles and slut shaming! woot! 

Me: ... yeah dude i think this is a you thing  

#like yeah ofc the book is dated bc it was written in the 1800s but i feel like ppl use the fact that it was old timey to throw a #ton of sexist and toxic stuff into their adaptations without getting called out even tho it wasn't even in the book... #also the wa dracula is basically the embodiment of toxic masculinity and jonathan harker isn't and they all hate on jonathan and glorify #dracula s this tragic misunderstood hero who all the women 'really' actually definitely totally wanted #is very sketch #Dracula #dracula daily #my post

i had a vision and i had to see it come to life

#the most effort i’ve ever put into drawing lauriam’s outfit and actually paying attention to detail and it’s not even on him smh #tragic: younger sibling wears your clothes better than you do #khux #strelitzia #kh strelitzia #kingdom hearts #kh #kingdom hearts union x #ADFGDJCBSJJS this came into existence bc on my last piece i drew lauriam before i drew strelitzia #and for some reason when i went to do strel’s arm thingies i started drawing all the way up like i was doing another full white shirt #so then i was like yo… what if she might look good in lauriam’s fit entirely. ok i gotta do a bonus drawing after this #mine: kh #my art #nomura you should let more of your women wear pants. that would be a fun idea #🔫 #also. i continue to not draw strelitzia’s pigtails normally

Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.

#i still dont really understand how they got away with this kind of thing honestly #female VAs i get that - but first m/m kiss in an anime in episode THREE????? #theres also the maraich/thomas episode where they are *Both* voiced by women....advanced yuri #patalliro #i love how bancorans gender expression is pretty much explicitly to attract only bishounen #you blushed - so you must not be a girl #etc #i also love how joyful it all is #theres never anything sad or tragic about being gay - only that bancoran is forced to kill the bishounen spies/assassins/etc #when bancoran finds out that gay sex feels good after demian; in the manga he is elated. its basically a positive thing #he awakens to his true power...lol #also notable is that while bishounen youth is glorified maraich is still 18. #besides making the show more palatable; this means it portrays being gay as an adult as normal #according to the NYT japan's psychiatric body called homosexuality a mental illness until 1995 #im not going to say patalliro changed that or anything lmao but its just significant to me that banmara get to live their lives happily #especially contrasting that with kaze to ki no uta and other manga of the time (no shade intended) #yaoi #<- for tagging purposes #obviously it also got away with a lot by being a gag manga. but still!
