What she says: I’m fine
What she means: In Legally Blonde, Elle only gets accepted because she’s hot and sent a video, but she had a 4.0 and got a 179 (out of 180) on her LSATS. Sure, her major was in Fashion Merchandising but that’s a business major, and the fake school she was at was supposed to be UCLA so she had a business degree from a major college, probably went to a great high school, had a 4.0, and a 179 on the LSATS and at that point she would have been automatically accepted so why did they make it sound like she was such a bad risk? She even had leadership experience as president of a major chapter of what is apparently a huge sorority, since Delta Nus are shown as everything from cheerleaders to senators. Harvard should have been desperate to take her. She should have been able to get in if she turned in a cocktail napkin with her name written on it. So why make up the bullshit excuse of “multiculturalism” to justify letting in an extremely qualified and highly driven candidate just for laughs? Elle Woods deserved to go to Harvard and she earned that place with academic excellence and not by being hot.
i’m not kidding when i say this is going to be hell for amber heard. like every woman who comes forward about domestic abuse, there will be a bias against her but one that is amplified so much more by her position in the limelight and depp’s career. she will be dragged every day in the press and accused of all kinds of things by twitter and mocked on websites and people would rather joke about it than support her vocally but she needs to know she has support right now. she is a young woman accusing an older man of something people would rather laud than address, please give her your support.
she filed her evidence and restraining order today. the police had to be called to their home on saturday and, according to the source, it’s not the first time something like this has happened. this is disgusting behavior from a man that she placed her heart and her trust in. the way that this is already being handle by depp is gross, already he has come out on the defense and has said that he will not address any ‘salacious gossip, false stories or lies about his personal life’.
already, he is setting her up in the traditional way that media view women who come forward about domestic abuse: as an attention seeking liar. already, he is setting her up to fall.
we need to believe amber heard and we need to stand with her through this. every account anyone has of her it’s that she is a kind and genuine person; she deserves better.
i stand with amber heard.
And if anyone tries to tell you that this is somehow some falsified made up story, remind them how infrequently domestic abuse accusations are fake. Remind them that two extremely high-profile people are involved and that Amber Heard is risking her entire career and putting her ass on the line so that she can stand up to her abuser.
If they say “well, he’s never done anything like this before,” remind them that nobody believed Bill Cosby had for his entire beloved life and career, either.
I stand with Amber Heard.
remember that people gave her shit and call her a whore and a gold digger for “daring” to file for divorce three days after his mother died, despite the fact that it was later revealed that she filed because he threw a phone at her face after he came home high and drunk and she decided she’d had enough and didn’t deserve to be treated like that
remember that Depp’s camp started the smear campaign immediately, trying to imply that her “bisexual nature” and “lesbian friends” ruined their marriage
remember that Amber Heard had to show up in court with bruises on her face and literally tell the world that her husband hits her regularly despite knowing that she would be immediately vilified for it
and remember that Johnny Depp does not deserve to be defended just because he made some movies that you like or helped an old lady with her hearing aids
The only acceptable reason for this is if this character is actually a demon who seduces men and then eats them. [source]

My name is Ebony D’arkness Dementia Raven Way, and my breasts are nicely separated
OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT AND HOW ON EARTH DID IT GET PUBLISHED
You can always tell when it’s a man writing a description because they focus oddly on the breasts. There will always be something about breasts and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read historical or fantasy fiction and they talk about “her breasts hanging freely under her tunic” or what the fuck ever and it’s like…women don’t do that? We don’t describe ourselves by saying “I have blonde hair and blue eyes and my breasts hang freely under my tunic”. I kind of feel like we should counter by awkwardly mentioning all male character’s balls in their description. It’s kind of in the same vein.
“I have auburn hair and hazel eyes and my copious nicely separated balls hangs freely under my breeches”
