Eilish tells Billboard that she and her brother/collaborator Finneas O'Connell were obsessed with the television show Sherlock, and that in one episode, the character Jim Moriarty (who she describes as “psychologically horrible, but in the most genius way”) steals the crown jewel. He then says to Sherlock, “Honey, you should see me in a crown.“ They thought that line was “dope,” so they turned it into a song.

Let’s talk for a second about Disney princesses.
Listen guys. I LOVE those Disney gals who saved themselves and wrote their own story. I love Mulan saving all of China and taking command of an army. I love Merida standing up for herself and winning her own hand. I love Tiana, who worked hard every second of her life in order to earn her own happily ever after and achieve her dream. I love Anna and Elsa constantly fighting for each other and saving each other through sisterly love. And you all know I ADORE Moana and her journey to find herself and save her island. Incredible characters, one and all!
But can we remember Cinderella, slaving away for an abusive stepmother who constantly tried to diminish her worth, while Cinderella still stayed kind and strong? Can we remember Snow White, who lost both of her parents, only to be left with a jealous stepmother who TRIED TO KILL HER? Can we remember Aurora, who was cursed as a tiny baby, taken from her parents, and lived a lonely life with no friends except animals and 3 ditzy (albeit lovable) fairies, never permitted to meet anyone new or go on real adventures and discover life? Can we talk about all the Disney heroines who had difficult beginnings, who were treated unjustly, who withstood adversity but maintained their kindness and never stopped dreaming? Cinderella never asked for a prince to come take her away. She asked for just one night where she didn’t have to dress in rags and endure the abuse that surrounded her daily. Ariel longed to be a part of the human world long before she met Eric, he simply gave her even more reason to finally go. Megara saved Hercules and sacrificed herself, not only for true love but to save everyone! Jasmine may have fallen in love with Aladdin, but she saved him as much as he saved her. Remember Kida and all she had to endure. Remember Belle, who was smart and ambitious and so ahead of her time. It’s not wrong for Snow White to dream of finding true love. She grew up never knowing what it was like to be loved at all! OF COURSE she would dream of someone who accepted her and treated her well!
So yes. Let’s teach girls that family relationships are important. Let’s teach them how to work hard to get where they want to go. Let’s teach them how to save themselves, how to believe in themselves, and how to stand up for what they believe is right. Let’s remind them that they are “not a prize to be won.” But let’s also help them understand that asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness and that falling in love isn’t pathetic or shameful. True, they don’t NEED a man. But if they happen to find someone who makes them happy and treats them better than they’ve ever been treated, that’s great too! Its not a sign of weakness. It’s just another beautiful part of their story.
I just finished reading a DISGUSTING short story about a lesbian couple who had to MASTURBATE after “sex”. Because NEITHER of them had ORGASMS during their “SEX”.
What kind of DUMB, STRAIGHT MAN writes about lesbians who CANNOT GET EACH OTHER OFF????
HELLO- the WHOLE POINT of lesbian sex is that it’s not SHITTY and is ENJOYABLE for BOTH PARTIES.
this is unlike STRAIGHT SEX (which this author is accustomed to [i looked into his background. I’m not making assumptions here]) during which only ONE PARTY typically is satisfied and that SINGULAR PARTY is typically THE MALE.
And she’s my best friend, so I tell her everything.
And she’s my favorite person because she’s funny, kind, caring, witty, and protective.
And I literally stopped writing for two years but I’ve written every day since I met her.
And when she holds me at night I feel the safety that my world hasn’t known since I was eight years old.
And when she tells me she loves me, my whole body melts.
And when she’s inside of me, all I can see, feel, taste is her.
And when we disagree, I know it is out of our individual passions and we will always work it out.
And when she is close to me, my mind goes quiet.
And I have known since day one that this relationship would be meaningful and special.
And I love her more than I thought possible.
And somehow every day I love her more than the day before.
…
I think I might be the luckiest girl in the world.
- I’m here and I’m scared but I’m ready for you
This is really good. They deserve a safe and accepting environment to grow up in.
i just want to fall in love, not the “you’re hot, i’m hot, let’s fuck” type of love, but the type where you see her in a light nobody has before. you notice the way one of her eyebrows raises ever so slightly when she gets confused, you notice how beautiful her sparkling eyes look when the sunlight touches them, you notice the way she hunches her shoulders back and taps her feet when she gets nervous, and each and every time she looks in your direction your heart pounds with such an intensity that it feels like thunder coursing through your veins. each second of eye contact makes you break a sweat, each accidental touch sends you into a frenzy, your body is buzzing and you feel as if you have been set on fire. you ache to know her deepest fears, her happiest moments, what makes her tick, what makes her who she is. i want to fall in love again and again each time i see her face, hear her voice, her laugh, or even smell her perfume. i want that type of love, god damn.
When i’m sad i just remember how my mom and i were watching sherlock and the scene where sherlock and moriarty kiss (no need for context) came up and my mom didn’t react. Like at all. Then when it was revealed to be fake she went ohhhh like she was disappointed
