“don’t reduce this female character down to a love interest” does not translate into “this female character shouldn’t have a love interest.”

preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both. 

I actually… got through to them???

I mean, my mom texted me to basically disown me. Then i tried to be calm (i was bubbling with rage but not actually talking to her face helped) so i calmly asked what she wanted from me.

Once again she says she wants me to be happy with good life insurance (money) and i told her what if i die halfway through. What if im so miserable that i cant do anything. That i hate it.

She starts her usual bullshit of saying i cant stay at the house then and have to pay rent and shit

And i say why? What does she want from me? Why is she ok with making me miserable?

She says she does it for me but i tell her i hate it. That makes her pause?? And she says i can do what i want?? And that i just have to be gentle and nice?

Im already coming up with the bullshit though. I dont trust her for a second. She did say she wanted to talk later but she was surprisingly civil.

She probably will do something stupid.

Im just shook that she said i can do what i want. Im gettinf hopeful too???

Im really aiming the gun at my foot rn.
