Every Woman Needs a Pair of Red Shoes...

anyway, i haven’t been doing much on the gif-making front, but that’s because i’ve been devoting my extra time and brain-space to concerts and road trips and ring-making classes (!!!!)

Something cool I just noticed about Arrival is that Louise Banks’ outfits are always incredibly practical. She’s never unnecessarily sexualized in the movie. 

90% of the time she’s wearing whatever can be scrounged up in the goverment’s base camp. Her face has minimal make-up and looks pale, and her hair is almost always tucked up into a messy knot. This fits in with the story, because she’s under tremendous stress and working long hours with almost no sleep, so it’s realistic that she looks disheveled.  

It’s just really cool that this film realized there’s no reason for Louise to be sexualized, and just decided to let her be disheveled and untidy, and dress how someone in her situation would realistically be dressed. 

And on that (clothing) note, I noticed that she only really starts to make progress once she takes her bulky hazmat suit off. She learns from them when she reveals/exposes herself, physically and, later, emotionally.

yk that alignment chart needs a “angrily writes fix-it fics for when male writers royally fuck up writing women characters” option.

The thing I hate most about depression is that it tricks you into thinking you don’t have depression. It makes you think that nothing is wrong with you, that you just feel this way because you lack value as a person. Whether that’s in your relationships, your academics, or a view of yourself, it makes you think you aren’t good enough for any of that.

“It’s not the illness,” it says, “You feel this way because it’s who you are.”

“Mental illness is like fighting a war where the enemy’s strategy is to convince you that the war isn’t actually happening.”

Me: I can’t get out of bed today, what is wrong with me. I’m so lazy and terrible and I am a huge flake and there has got to be something wrong with me. My brain: There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

Still reading “You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Crazy or Stupid?” - a book for and about adults with add. And this is all me, especially that last bit.

rbing again to add that I want to thank op for posting this. seeing this on my dash several months ago was the very first time I ever considered I could have ADD/ADHD inattentive. I never had the slightest idea before. fast forward to now and I’ve been going to therapy and on medication and things have turned around so much for the better.

I’m so glad to hear that! That’s why I posted it, because I knew I couldn’t be the only person that this rang I giant bell with.

I WAS THAT LITTLE GIRL. THAT WAS ME.

I was AT THE SAME TIME this little girl and the “trouble with bright girls” little girl–I was told that I was smart enough to “compensate” so I didn’t need treatment/help, so anything I had difficulty with I had to avoid like the plague because even though I knew why it was hard for me because I had been told I had ADD, I also knew that my status of smartness was at risk any time I struggled with something, and had no idea how to actually consciously deal with my ADD when natural ability/terror of deadlines didn’t get me through.

Today’s wood burning focused on one of my favorite movies.

To be honest, the world has gotten me down the last few weeks, my country is literally collapsing and I felt like this would help get that ol’ fighting spirit back.

I love these memes.

#I love a lot of things about the way this show turned out but maybe the very best one is how joan is a watson with limits     #I don’t think I’ve ever seen an adaptation where watson doesn’t sigh in exasperation and then put up with the abuse     #from day zero she’s laying down rules     #and she’s patient and forgiving and remarkably low-key     #(anyone who wakes me up before my alarm clock on the regular is getting a knife to the face)     #but she absolutely knows the difference between eccentricity and unreasonable behavior    #and is utterly able and willing to enforce boundaries     #and to call holmes out    #repeatedly.     #now that I think of it I don’t particularly find watson interesting or likeable in… any adaptation I’ve seen?     #and suddenly you have a holmes/watson dynamic that’s actually played as equal     #where 2/3rds of their interaction is negotiation     #(the other 1/3rd is mutual appreciation society and it’s so much better because of the negotiations)    #real friends don’t just love you     #they also challenge you to become a better version of yourself     #that’s the show.   (via smokeandsong)
