*14 yos following me* *becomes nervous* i gotta step it up… i gotta be a Role Model

you know what’s funny is that i’ve always been more obsessed with female celebrities for some reason and i used to think that was bc i saw them as role models and wanted to emulate them or whatever

but it turns out i’m just really hella into girls

“My mom always told me to do what makes me happy and dress for me. I was lucky, when I was young, to have a female role model in my life that was very much about me being myself. And with beauty and fashion, it’s supposed to be fun and experimental. I like the individuality of it all.”

"People choose their role models themselves. I am honest with myself and I’m not ashamed of anything I’ve done. You shouldn’t plan on giving a certain image of yourself to people. You should live your life, your experiences, your job. The people take what they want."

and we all feel a simultaneous punch to the gut.

but!!!!! this is so important!!!! this is such a potent metaphor for how much bad things are glamorized in our society like eating disorders or self harm and so you have these little kids seeing it made dramatic and beautiful and i just!!!! catching fire u did so good u did so fucking good

okay though just picture for a moment when MCU!Natasha starts having fans, when MCU!Natasha starts having little girl fans who are all “I want to be as awesome as Black Widow” and just picture Tony or Clint sending her links to photos of parents with their daughters dressed up as Black Widow

and a little part of Natasha hurts because when she was that young she was already in training, already having the childishness drilled out of her, and they don’t know the legacy they’re dressing up in, they don’t know what it’s like to be a weapon in anyone’s hands that will take you and they never should but at the same time

she’s a role model suddenly for little girls who don’t have the self confidence they deserve, someone they can look to and see that superheroes aren’t just the men, that a five foot nothing woman can hold her own among gods and monsters, can take down evil and fight for the safety of Earth just as well as her teammates

and maybe she is making up the debt and not just in battles fought and won, in little girls who learn that they can stand up for themselves, that being woman doesn’t make them less

With Katniss, I never meant to make a big deal about it (her weight). It was just important she was strong and a warrior instead of being wasted away, especially when, without a doubt, she’s going to be a role model for a lot of young girls. I thought it would be better for them to say, ‘I could look like Katniss’ rather than ‘I’ll never be able to look like that if I keep eating.’
