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

superspyskye:

It would be really nice to go into Claire Dearings tag and not find endless diatribes about her f**king heels. Bryce fought to keep Claire’s heels because she knows that some women wear heels and make-up like war paint. They put on those heels and it flicks a switch, they feel beautiful and confident and ready to take on the patriarchy and there’s not a damn thing wrong with that.

Her being a carbon copy of Ellie Satler would do neither character any justice. There’s isn’t just one way to be a competent and strong woman. We need a diverse array of strong women in media characters like Furiosa, Sarah Conner, Melinda May are great but they represent one facet of female strength.

The most sexist thing going on in the jw fandom right now is mainly guys going “ha ha look at that silly female character running in heels, so unrealistic” put Serena Williams in heels she’s still gonna whoop you and your fragile masculinity at tennis.

It seems to be any woman who doesn’t fit your “cool girl” image of a guy with tits is going to get torn apart. Let me tell you there are women out there who can dance in heels, run in heels, do f**king backflips in heels.

So take your sexist diatribes dressed up as feminism and shove it because Claire Dearing is a queen.

The worst summer at a theme park.

fuck-customers:

So, earlier this summer, I worked at a theme park out of the country as part of an internship. It was a really good experience and, for the most part, I had fun. There were a few things I disliked about the job–pushy management, overzealous crowds, etc.–but that’s with every job.

Anyway, this place was was really hot and humid, and guests would get tired of walking and being out in the sun. The park was kind’ve like Animal Kingdom at Disney World in that we had animals and rides.

Okay, I’m getting off track. Well, shortly after I arrived, I went from working as a feeder (things happened and that was nooot the job for me. Long story short, I almost lost my arm. Yeah.) to a ride attendant. All I did was let people through and tell them to have a good time & be safe.

Well, one day, I’m letting people through when I get a phone call. I had just let two kids through when the phone rang. I was told there was an emergency, and I had to stop letting people on the ride and direct all guests to the front entrance.

I hang up and look at the crowd. Great. Long ass line. I told them the ride was cancelled and they got PISSED. I tried explaining that I just worked there and didn’t make the rules…nope. Not working.

Anyway, long story short, a lot of people got eaten by dinosaurs, and I don’t recommend working at Jurassic World

(I literally read this entire thing thinking omg does this person work at fucking Jurassic World. 😂😂😂😂 nice one.)

In Jurassic world when the pterodactyl picked up and threw down the baby triceratops I saw the exact moment I’d risk my life to save a baby dinosaur and try to fight a full fucking grown pterodactyl

the best part of jurassic world is that it sets up claire to be the damsel in distress and that owen is inevitably going to have to save her, but more often than not it’s claire who’s saving the day. and she does it without losing any of femininity, she kicked ass and outran a t-rex while wearing her floaty skirt and heels god bless
