Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

vegaofthelyre:

Other angels have made this war because they hate you. You and all humans. God has put you in His grace and pushed them aside. They’re desperate. They’ve never been able to conquer the other loyal angels. And so this war has remained in stalemate for thousands of years. And while this state of affairs endures, no soul can meet its God. Your parents and their parents and so on, from the beginning, lie still in wormy earth. Of course, some of them do come to me eventually. For while Heaven may be closed, I am always open, even on Christmas.

A most excellent lesson in self-defense à la Agent Gracie Hart.

Friendly reminder that Miss Congeniality featured a practical self-defense lesson in the middle of a Hollywood movie while also dealing with with issues of sexual assault and victim blaming, dismantling the myth that all feminists need to look and act a certain way, featuring women of color in the pageant without it being any kind of issue, and bringing in an awesome female villain because women can be any kind of character thank you very much.

Rock on, Gracie Lou.

I fucking adore this movie.  Gracie Lou Freebush is a religion.
