I had meant to write a well thought-out, reasoned, logical-yet-impassioned blog entry about this... but I still haven't figured out how to do that. So I can tell that this little entry is going to be, y'know... slightly rambling.
I want my nieces to grow up in a world where they can do anything they want to do.
Obviously, right? That's what we'd all like. Duh.
What I don't want is for them to grow up and have their options curtailed by their gender. What I don't want is for their attitudes towards men and women, boys and girls, their own selves, to be decided by a society, and a media, that is slanted.
Big Books for Boys are about adventure and exploration. Big Books for Girls are about makeup and looking pretty.
My niece Becca is 4. Becca loves pink. She loves princesses. She wasn't BORN loving pink and loving princesses — she learned that. She learned it from the people around her, from the TV she watches, from the other kids at the school-type place she goes to. And you can see it. You can see it happening. People go up to her and the first thing they say, the FIRST thing, is "Oh, don't you look ADORABLE!"
Boom. Now she thinks that her physical appearance is THE most important thing about her. Now whenever she's wearing a new dress she always runs up to me and says "Derek, look at my dress!"
I don't want my nieces thinking their looks are the only things that matter. For their birthday, the twins got a big dollhouse. It is, admittedly, awesome (if you like dollhouses). And I knew they were getting the dollhouse, so I went to buy them dolls. I bought them a princess doll and a mermaid doll, because Becca loves princesses and Emily loves mermaids. But I also got them an Annikin Skywalker doll, with lightsaber and sound effects, and an Iron Man doll. So now Iron Man has tea with Princess Barbie (and by all accounts, he's loving it) and the future Darth Vader (spoiler alert) sits awkwardly on the couch with Mermaid Barbie.
I buy them toys for boys because I don't want them limited by what toy companies tell them they can be.
(Er, not that a princess, a mermaid, a Sith Lord or a super hero is an achievable goal anyway... well, maybe the super hero...)
And then I start thinking about my books because, well, my books are awesome and deserve to be thought about. I think I've done well, all in all. The decision to have the main character be a teenage girl wasn't a decision at all — it's just something that fit. I've also worked very hard to refrain from idealising Valkyrie. Having a female main character but treating her like she's this flawless wonder is as damaging and disingenuous as the very things I've been trying to avoid. But treating her like a real person? Giving her an ego, an arrogance, a selfishness that we'd all have in her situation? That's FAIR.
But I've also failed, in certain ways. I've given in, without even thinking. Val is pretty, for a start. Was that necessary? No, not really. I could have made her plain. I could have taken away the height, the slimness, the little dimple when she smiles... But I didn't. Yes, the pretty fictional character is based on my pretty real-life friend, but I could have changed THAT aspect, right? Only, I'm as biased as anyone else. I like beauty. I like a pretty face. I like Gina Carano and Ronda Rousey. I admire them as people, as fighters, as athletes — but would I pay them this much attention if I didn't also appreciate how they look?
I'm as bad as anyone, but the thing is, I'm trying NOT to be.
So while you're digesting all this, and figuring out if what I'm saying has ANY relevance to ANYTHING, I want you think about Captain America: Winter Soldier. You all know what a huge comics fan I am. Most of you know that I own the shield he used in the first movie. I am REALLY looking forward to the sequel, and nothing will stop me from going to see it.
But seeing as how I'm talking about how women are valued primarily on their looks, I'd like you to take a peek at the posters released. Here's Cap, looking pensive...
And Nick Fury, also looking pensive...
And here's Black Widow, looking... wow.
Is that it? Is that her only worth?
In some ways, I'm old fashioned. I believe in old-fashioned things. I believe men should be strong. If they can't be strong physically then they must be strong morally. I believe men should hold the door for women, should stand up from the table when they walk over, and they should, when possible, pay for dinner. I also believe that men and women are equal in every way that's important.
So when I ask "Is that her only worth?", I'm not asking that from a feminist's perspective. I'm asking it from a man's perspective. The Black Widow is a secret agent, a spy, an assassin, and a hero... so why can't she be pensive in a series of pensive posters? Why does she have to adopt the sexy pose?
If any of my nieces grow up to be a secret agent, a spy, an assassin or a hero, I'm going to be as proud of them as if they grow up to be a princess or a mermaid. But I'm going to have to insist that they be given the opportunity to be WHATEVER they want to be, and those kinds of opportunities begin with me — the writer, the creator — and with you — the reader, the consumer. Don't settle for less. Don't settle at all.

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 4926 Newer› Newest»((Btw, how does the name Rags sound? Rags Sky?))
((Bye emerald))
*looks over at Rhydi* okay, so it was you. Tell me,why no blood? Its unusually tame for you.
((Rags? Reminds me of a hobo and a skeleton. Great for you!))
Oh...Did I just confess to the wrong murder? Oppsies, this wasn't me...Dunno who this was, I killed the guy next door...That was a lot bloodier
((Haha lol thankies!!!))
*sighs and mutters* lunatics, kill more than I do
*looks at Rhydi* did you check you back? Kill the CCTV? Account for fingerprints?
No...no...and no. I didn't do any of those three things you just said...
((Mums gone out to get food.....OMG LOVE MY MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE FOOD MORE THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!))
And now you've left the scene full of evidence that points to you? Rhy what have I told you? Go clean it up. I'll come with an watch for cops.
((Food is good. *nods* it feeds us.))
*goes to clean up the murder that looks like one of the Jack The Ripper cases*
*stands in the doorway resisting the urge to follow the blood trail*
*watches out for blues and toons*
And after that kill the CCTV. Then come here so I can get that tracker off your back.
*once the scene is clean, destroys ALL CCTV and goes to Sil* Take the tracker off please?
(What a strapping young lad you are, Rhydian. Not in a weird way. I feel awkward now ;-;)
*turns him around so his back is to her*
*smiles at the almost invisible tracker there*
Clever human.
*puts on hand on his jacket*
Stands still
*twist and yanks, removing the tracker without ripping his jacket*
Okay. Find some sort of bird. Or bat. Or animal. Then we can go.
What about
"Money can't buy happiness"
Money can buy food.
Food>Happiness
((Hey Dimitri!))
(Hello Dimitri? Nice to meet you? Have we met? And although it was a bit weird, I'll take that as a compliment, coz I have an ego)
Got a bird! *shows birdie to Sil*
(Hey.)
-a dark cloud of smoke appears in front of you, and I walk out of it, a faint trail of smoke wisping around my hands-
Hello, Silente. Rhydian.
(Egos are important. They build character. And yes we've met before. I think we fought beside eachother or I fought you or I tried to compete with you.
..
I probably tried to compete with you.)
Hello.
*grabs the bird gently*
*attaches the tracker to its back snuggly*
That should distract them. Now did you bring your bike or am I giving you a piggy back?
When did we meet last? Coz I don't remember you...Why were you competing with me?
-I drop down to one knee, placing my hand on the ground, as smoke emits out from me, moving around you two and the area around us-
I've got the bike *gets on the motorcycle*
(I'm just a particularly competitive person. Idek.)
WAit! - Are you with Death Rose?
*looks over at Rhydi* put down the bike. Were being surrounded by smoke.
*looks around to the vague area that Dimitri was in* what are you doing?
Brb
Just checking the area.
-I lead the smoke back into my hands, smiling-
Well then. Okay.
*nods*
*walks over to the bike* will you be riding with Rhydi or do you have your own means of transport?
Where are we supposed to be traveling to?
That's a very good question. One that will be answered when Rhydi comes back. My guess it back to the clearing.
-I grab Silente's hand, the smoke traversing up her arm-
-the smoke travels to the clearing, and we appear there-
Easy.
BACK!!!!!!!! Just had food...I am now a happy bunny :P lol
I need to speak with Lena...I need to ask her something. Sil this time, please don't follow me?
WAIT take me back! You left Rhydi!
*grabs his wrist with brute force* take me back.
-I walk to a tree, and lean against it, playing with the smoke-
Oh...They've gone. *goes on motorbike driving to Lena's house*
Dim take me back.
-I look at Silente-
So, who's this "Lena"?
Oh, alright.
-I grab her arm, and take us back-
Person. A person. Now take me back. I don't ave time to run.
Okay good. Where is he?
*sniffs at the air* that way.
*points and starts running, following her nose*
*Lena Montague walks through her house looking at all of it, appreciating what she had taken from her parents, all the money she'd gotten out of their deaths* *she didn't care about them at all*
Rhydian: Hey *points gun at her*
Lena: *spins on her heel quickly and gets her gun out* Hello Rhydian, what do I owe this honour?
Rhyds: I want to know everything about The Amulet of All Winters
Bye, people! :)
-I lead smoke out, grabbing Silente, pulling her back-
Leave him alone.
*arrives at a large house*
*the door has been left open*
*inside Lena stands pointing a gun at Rhydi who has his back to her and is also holding a gun*
*Duuks back behind the door*
(Oh nvm Silente)
Lena: Sorry, I don't like people breaking into my house...
Rhyds: But you'll let it slide this one time for me? Y'know it won't happen again
Lena: I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Rhyds: Where's the Amulet?
Lena: Anything but that
Rhyds: How about your real name? Given, Taken, becuase Lena Montague is just one of three dozen aliases you have
*wonders why Lena is helping him*
*leans forward a bit and peaks around the door*
-I run into the house, a gun immediately facing me-
Woah, woah, woah.
Aim that gun somewhere else, Lena.
*Lena and Rhydian turn to Sil and point there guns at her*
Rhyds: Sorry Sil, but I told you not to follow me
Lena: And I just don't like you. Leave!
*stands there slightly startled*
*looks both of them in the eyes*
*doesn't move*
Lena: I dislike people breaking into my house! *looks at Rhydian* But I'll let you off this once. Now all of you out! Me and Mr Sky have business to discuss
*still doesn't move*
*watches the scene cautiously*
*tries to come to a decision *
*watching the roleplay :)*
#ChaseForBookNine
*but msd. Lunch will commence shortly*
#ChaseForBookNine
-I close my eyes, a haze of smoke exploding out from me, the entire house filled with the solid air-
-I run out, taking Silente with me, and the smoke disappears-
Silente, something's going to happen in there.
((HEYYYYYY STARRRRRRRR!))
Rhyds: Don't worry Lena...At least you've got another six houses that haven't been broken into
Lena: *sighs* I hate you sometimes Rhydian
Rhyds: Don't lie to me, everybody loves me *smiles*
Lena: I'll retrieve the Amulet for you...Now get out of my house before I shoot you all
*pulls against Dimitri*
*slips out of his grip*
*watches in the doorway again*
Hello people.
((CHIO! *SUPERMEGAAWESOMETACKLEHUGS HER* HELLO! HELLO! HELLO! HOW ARE YOU? I WAS WORRIED!))
Hey Star and Chi! How are you both?
Rhyds: Thnaks Lena...Can I trust you?
Lena: No. But I will get it for you.
Rhyds: *leaves the house*
*switches to the phone*
*looks Lena in the eyes*
*nods then turns and follows rhydi*
((Hello Silente, you really shouldn't worry about me.))
-I walk out, glancing back at Lena, giving her a wink before I close the door behind me-
Sil why did you follow me?! I said I needed to go alone!
((Well I did. You were all sad and then you didn't come on for like 2 days and I was worried and I emailed you and you didn't reply which worried me more and I dropped a few frozen references and you didn't show and I got panicked.))
*looks over at rhydi*
Like I said, its against my moral. You want me to stay, put me in a vamp proof cage.
Sil when I ask you to stay away I need you to stay away!!!
Rhy I'm not letting you do something stupid and getting yourself hurt!
-I step in between the two-
Rhydian, it's fine. No one got hurt, and she agreed to give you the amulet. Whatever immoral bone in your body decided to trust her, has now formed a treaty between you and Lena. And that treaty is as thin as thread, so just be happy that nothing happened.
I was going to get hurt! I understand that you care, but please, I can do this alone. *walks into house closing door behind him* *Rhydian went to his room, collapsing onto the bed*
((I'm sorry for making you worry *hugs*))
Wasn't**
((Nods at chio* good anyway how are you?))
My god! I'm just trying to help him! He's so childish. He thinks he invulnerable and untouchable when he's not! He would be so easy to kill!
*kicks a tree*
*watches the tree shudder*
Idiot.
-I stand there awkwardly, and let the smoke carry me to the top of a tree-
*lays there staring at the ceilin* *maybe she's right* *Rhydian shakes that idea out of his head* *everyone underestimated him, nobody trusted him to do anything* *he hated the feeling*
((I'm doing really well right now.))
You know what, screw him. He can go around going his dangerous stuff, that's fine! But to hell if he thinks I ain't gonna be there! I'll hide in the shadows. Strike without warning them disappear. I don't care what he says. He my friend. I'm protecting him either way.
*slums down under the tree*
*glares at his house *
((Right now?))
-I look down at Silente-
This is boring. Can we go get the amulet or something?
*looks up at Dim*
That's what Lenas doing. We don't know where it is. Although we could ask her...hmm..
*stands*
Cheshire: * walks into Rhydians room* She's glaring at the house you know. And stop feeling bad. It's pitiful. Got the Amulet?
Rhyds: Lena's getting it for me
Chess: You know, we could use Silente
She could be very useful. Don't think that you need to alone. She could be useful.
Rhyds: I'm trying to keep her away from this shit....Now you're asking me to use her?
Cheshire: Yup. Basically. Think about it ok?
-the smoke travels into Rhydian's room, and i appear there-
Rhydian, we have to get the amulet. We don't have time for you and Silente to be prissy.
*sighs at the factthat dim did the smoke walk thing*
*listens carefully hearing chess again*
*glres harder at the door*
*starts punching the tree running around it*
Cheshire: *cannot be seen by anyone apart from Rhyds*
Rhyds: No. Lena said she'd get it. Although she is one cunning bitch, she means it. I know when she's lying
Hi everyone!
*waves*
Has anyone seen the new Muppets yet? Because I'm going today and I don't want my expectations to be dashed.
Hello Kes!! How are you? Sorry no
*punches really hard*
*watches the tree start falling* SHIT!
*runs to the other side and catches the tree*
*puts it back upright*
*mutters* stupid guys.
Amulet of all winters you say? *appears at his window* Sounds like something I could help with *smirks*
((Does anyone mind if Kes and her mortal girlfriend join in this RP?))
((Hey Kestrel! How r u?))
Rhy, I'm good, although Spring Break ends tomorrow. You?
Hi Silente! Good, you?
*sits under the tree again*
Treat me like a child. I'm not a child. Treat me my age not my appearance.
((I'm fine thanks!))
I'm fine Kes :) and no. Rp away!
Chi its fine. I don't need help finding it. My friend Lena is getting it for me
*shouts from window* Silente, the way you're being moody and stuff right now makes us treat you like a moody little child *smiles*
Right, well, Rhydian, I'm going to get the amulet from Lena myself if you're going to be in a shitty mood over a little fight. Grow up.
-I travel to the bottom of the house, and start walking back to Lena's house-
*sighs and joins the others in the house*
*stands in the doorway and glares at the floor*
*Kes and Delila are walking through the forest*
*Kes hears a noise*
*turns to Delila*
Kes: Did you hear that?
Delila: Hear what?
Kes: That... crashing sound.
*they start to walk towards it*
*glares at chio* I'm allowed to sulk. I'll act the way you treat me.
*runs after dim* let's go.
That's a shame Rhy. It sounds quite interesting, since winter is the source of my powers and in return I keep it going through the other seasons. *creates a beautiful snowflake on her hand*
You know, no matter how hard I try, every snowflake I make is always different in some way.
-i turn to Silente-
Thanks.
So, tell me about Lena. What are her attributes?
*they come to the fallen tree and stand for a moment, staring at it*
Kes: What...
Delila: We could ask whoever is in that house over there *points to house*
Damit guys you can't leave the goddess of snow out of getting an Amulet that has winter in it's name! *flies out of the window, riding the wind and landing gracefully beside them*
Okay all I know about her is she's beautiful, much like china. She's a gossiper too, doesn't tend to do things unless they help her. That type of person.
Why are we walking? Why not run. Or smoke warp?
*they walk up to the house*
Kes: Do you want to knock?
Delila: *shakes head*
Kes: *knocks*
((Wait, who's still in the house at this point?))
((Just Rhy))
Oh, she gossips?
Then it'll be pleasurable to take her life.
And, fair enough.
-I send the smoke around me, Silente and Chione, and we shift to Lena's house-
((Rhydians in the house))
((Thanks, Chi))
Wait take her life? Your going to kill her? That's a bit much!
*Whispers* We can't take her life Dimitri, only she knows where it is.
Rhydian: *calls Lena* Hello?
Lena: Hello? What do you want now? I've had a busy day
Rhyd: Found that Amulet yet?
Lena: A client of mine is bringing it to me. I should have it within the hour, then I'll drop it off at yours alright?
((Why do we need the Amulet? lol))
*after waiting for a bit*
Kes: *sighs* *tries door handle* *it creaks open*
Delila: What are you doing? You can't just break into people's houses!
Kes: *looks at her* Fine. *raises voice* Hello? Anyone hone?
((No killing Lena!!! She may be a bitch but you'll learn to love her trust me!))
*hears someone* Hello? Who's there? *gets gun out ready*
SHHH! I can hear her! Okay she says it'll be here in an hour.
Kes: Wait, Rhy, is that you? It's Kes!
Delila: *clears her throat*
Kes: And Delila!
Oh...Hello Kes! Why are you here? *looks at Delila* Hello Delila? Nice meet you. Why are you both here?
-I open the door to her house, a flourish of black smoke behind me-
Oh, Lena!
Lena: What do you want now? I'm busy!
Dim!
*runs in behind him*
What the hell! We could have waited!
Delila: Nice to meet you, too! *would shake hands but Rhy has a gun*
*at the same time*
Kes: We were walking, and heard a crash. There's a tree in your, um, yard, that looks like it's been punched.
Delila: *looking at Kes* You left out the bit where it fell over because of it.
We need the amulet, Lena.
Lena: The Amulet will be here soon. I'll be able to take it to Rhydian as soon as it arrives.
Rhyd: Oh...I'll get someone to clean that up later. Any of you want tea?
((Rhy, do you have a plan for where the amulet is? Or is it open to discussion?))
Kes: *glances at Delila*
Delila: *shrugs*
Kes: I...sure. Thanks. What have you been up to that has you so jumpy?
((The amulet will turn up at Lena's house soon))
*hisses at Dim*
What did I say! We could have waited. You didn't have to burst through the doors!
-I move in further-
How do we know we can trust you?
I'm not jumpy...Am I? Suppose it's just my life now. A lot of people want me dead...my own fault for selling them stuff that doesn't work or is dangerous.
*sighs realising Dimitri won't listen*
*stands beside him and looks at Lena*
Lena: You can't. That's the thing. But I'm going to give it to Rhydian because it benefits more people than just him.
Kes: Well, you did pull a gun on us. Which both works and is dangerous.
Delila: Actually, what's your name? Rhydian Sky? The same Rhydian people have been talking about in connection with the Horseman?
Kes: *looks surprised* Where did you hear that?
*mutters under her breath*
Yeah like chess. And probably you.
*speaks louder* See Dimitri, if it benefits her she'll do it.
Yeah....That's me. I'm Rhydian who's connected to the Horseman.
Lena: Did you just say the name Chess? Cheshire? How do you know him?
Kes: *to Delila* Seriously, though, where did you hear that?
Delila: I was walking home a couple nights ago and I heard some people talking about it. They said something about an amulet, too.
-I laugh-
You lying bitch.
-I send a flurry of shadows at her, doing a combat roll further into the house-
Lena: What do you have against me?
*runs forward and grabs Dimitris arm*
Hey cool it! She's not doing anything!
-I point a finger at Lena-
She's up to something. You're an idiot for trusting her.
((That escalated quickly...))
Lena: Dimitri tell me what you're talking about! What do you have against me?
I don't trust her! That doesn't mean you kill her! Hell I wouldn't trust her if I had her at gunpoint. I doubt her family even trusts her! But that doesn't mean you can just end her life! Come on. Let's wait outside.
Her life deserves to be ended.
((@Dimitri: Who died and made you God? :P))
Kes: Look, Rhy, if you're busy, we can just go...
Dimitri! What has gotten into you? Why do you hate her so much?
Lena: Dimitri stop playing grown ups and go back to your childs play. You know nothing about me to judge whether my life is worthy to continue or not
Rhyds: Yeah...Bit exhausted
Lena shut up! Dimitri. Why do you hate he so much? What's your problem?
Child's play?
-my eyes start filling with a deep black-
Well shit!
*starts pulling on his arm*
*drags him towards the door*
Stupid Bitch!
Lena: Get out of my house!!! Now!!! You don't have the right to judge me!
-I press my hand against Silente, and a wave of shadows pushes her off-
Kes: Bye then. It was nice talking.
*they leave*
*as soon as they're away from the house, Kes turns to Delila*
Kes: What amulet?
Delila: Sometjing to do with winter, I think.
Kes: *pulls out phone and calls Silente*
*looks at her ringing phone*
Lena run!
*tries to pull Dimitri back again, holding on tighter*
*answers her phone*
WHAT! IM A LITTLE BUSY RIGHT NOW!
*Lena leaves the house quickly getting into her car driving away*
-I walk into the house, the shadows writhing from my back like eight long, strong tentacles, seeping through her house, flipping furniture and crushing anything valuable-
Kes: Sorry! But I heard a rumor that Rhy is looking for the Amulet of Winters. Is it true?
-the shadows climb around me, crawling into my mouth, my ears and my nose, fusing man and shadow together, as I become a flurry of maelstrom and darkness, as I run and leap onto Lena's car-
YOUR PHONING ME CAUSE OF A RUMOR?!?! HOW DID YOU EVEN GET MY NUMBER? YES ITS TRUE WHY?
*pulls the phone away from her ear a minute*
Dim, she's gone, calm down!
Shit shit shit!
*runs after the car*
*jumps onto the roof as well*
*shouts to be heard over the wind*
DIMITRI GET DOWN NOW!
Kes: Yes! Do you even know what is can /do/?
((Totally ad-libbing here, but whatever.))
Delila: *looks at Kes questioningly*
Kes: *shakes her head*
-I ignore Silente and begin tearing the car apart-
*speaks into her phone over the wind* no I don't! Can you call me back or text me or something I'm dealing with a murder hungry shadow men beast thing right now,
Oh Dimitri!
*spins and swings her leg through the window*
*looks down at Lena and shoves her arm through the window*
Come on!
-I grab Lena and jump off the car, standing over her-
*takes phone away from ear and shakes it*
*gets nothing but dead air*
Goddamn!
Delila: What?
Kes: No time.
Delila: What do you want to do?
Kes: You're trying to learn to be a psychic, right? Find Silente!
Delila: *shakes her head* I can't!
Kes: You've got to try!
*Lena is no longer in the car* *she appears in the forest and turns round seeing the Horseman* Why am I here?
Horseman: Saving you. Can't have you brutally murdered before your time. Or by someone other than me.
Lena: The Amulet should be dropped off at Rhydian's house soon. Can we extend the pay time for my deal then
Horseman: No
Lena: Why not?
Shit,
*drops her phone on the round*
*leaps onto dimitris back*
((Silente, I was just assuming you'd hung up on me, tbh. So, yeah, I'll have Kes text later))
Oh she's gone?
*jumps of Dimitri*
She's gone dim. Cool it.
-I throw Silente off my back, the shadows slowly dissipating as I'm left on the pavement, half dead-
*runs over to Dimitri and checks for a pulse*
*relaxes when she finds one*
Okay. Good. Right.
*picks Dimitri up and walks back to the house*
._.
I'm about 95 kilos but ok.
Horseman: Lena if you want to delay your payments, then your going to do more than just retrieve an amulet.
Lena: What do I have to do then?
Horseman: Cheshire will let you know soon
Delila: *closes eyes*
~After a minute or so~
Delila: It's no use. Either she's got a block, or I'm just a really crap psychic. Either way...
Kes: *swears again* *places phone on hand and opens recent calls* *presses symbol on wrist*
Delila: What are you doing?
Kes: Trying to trace the energy signature
((Dim I'm a vamp, 95 kilos is like a feather))
*puts Dimitri down on a step*
*sighs and sits down heavily*
*clutches at her head*
((Wait, Silente, you're a vampire too?))
Oh uh
Thanks..
((Yes and a rather tired one at that. Also I have a locked phone, it can't be traced))
Your welcome dim. Do me a favour? Don't go phyco killer beast again?
((Silente, not helpful. Does the fact that it's by magic and not by mechanics make any difference?)(
((Not really, sorry kes. You could just call and ask where we are?))
I can't control that, Sil.
I'm a descendant of the original necromancers, and I'm too young and naive to contain all of it.
On a more serious note, I'd just like to point out that,
I'm a victim of (self-diagnosis) bi-polar disorder and self-harm. Don't say sorry or anything but if you want to talk to me about that kind of stuff you can speak to me on kik at matt_cacattell
If anyone here has kik..
Just if anyone wants help. Ok? Ok.
I don't want to bring attention to myself or anything like that, just that I want to help others if they want help or something. I don't mean to seem like an attention seeker or anything like that.
((I could, but Kes doesn't know that you're done with your fight, so she's worried about interrupting.))
Kes: It's not working.
Delila: You could text her, like a normal human being, instead of being all stalker-y.
Kes: She's in a fight. The distraction could get her killed.
Delila: *rolls eyes*
((That's fine dim))
Maybe learn to control the scary?
*goes to find her phone*
*picks it up and calls kes back*
*while its ringing* my head hurts. Someone tried to get into my mind. Hmm..
*waits for kes to pick up*
((*doesn't really know what to say to Dimitri, as he said not to say sorry*))
