“And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the ‘Ultimate’ version) who was 13 years old and brown. To see Spider-Man pulling his mask over a tiny brown chin – to see a boy with short curly hair sticking to the ceiling of his bedroom— well, something happened. Dagim has been Spider-Man for two Halloweens in a row. He takes a bath with his Spider-Man and a toy killer whale. He has Spider-Man toothpaste and a Spider-Man toothbrush. If Spider-Man offered medical coverage, I think he would want that, too.
………….
I thought for a while that my son would never be interested in my comics. I was afraid they would just represent another club he couldn’t join: all those big-jawed white guys with their hair parted to the side. But thanks to Spider-Man, my son imagines himself jumping on giant robots and saving the city. I hear him doing that behind the door of his room.”

I’m browsing the Sailor Moon tag for the first time ever and finding such marvelous things.

#these two women right here #let me tell you about these two #they both believed with all their hearts that knights were chivalrous #that there really was such a thing as honour #that the villains were clearly the villains #and right from wrong was always black and white #but then real life happened #and even though they were disillusioned #and they found out life was nothing like the songs #they didn’t give up and they didn’t give in#they did not become completely demoralized or malevolent#like so many others who are subjected to the game of thrones do #bc the thing is #sansa is still gentle and kind#just now she wears her courtesy as her coat of mail and never reveals her true feelings #bc she learned what happens when you trust and believe #and brienne is still trying to be the honourable knight#but realizes she’s one of the few honest and loyal oath keepers left#and she has seen the horrific deeds other “knights” have done#but now they are no longer the naive girls they once were#and they realize there is no black and white #there is only grey #but they choose to be the good in this corrupt world

If these two perfect heroines do not meet and become bffs I will probably throw my books out the window. 

I want Sansa to meet her and be protected by her and feel entirely safe for the first time since Ned died and I want her to believe in true knights again because they do exist even if they don’t look like the knights in her songs. 

I want it as much as I want Jaime and Brienne to live happily ever after and I want that with all of my heart.

You guys, I seriously need to mix things up.  I want a new drug, like the Huey Lewis kind that isn’t the song from Ghostbusters except it is.  I need to be shaking up this Coke can that’s full of life and not full of Coca-Cola.  I need to make myself go apeshit all over everything.

I also think there’s a reason no one lets me write self-help books.
