#STRONG LIKE AN AMAZON #slightly annoyed by people who forget that tara is so much more than willow’s girlfriend #she’s powerful and brave and wiser than everybody else #she knows there’s no escape #and glory just made a fairly detailed description of what she’s gonna do to her #(while torturing her) #and yet there’s that look #strong like an amazon i said #everybody else can go home

#EVERY TARA FEEL #Such an underrated character #Can we talk for a mo about her relationship with Buffy? #How /she/ was the person Buffy told about Spike? #Aka all of her issues in s6 #Their conversation in The Body? #Buffy didn’t have a one on one conversation with anyone else that whole episode #Not really #But she could talk to Tara #Because Tara is strong and nonjudgemental and so fucking amazing 

 #it’s so important to remember that THIS IS A CHARACTER WHO COMES FROM AN ABUSIVE BACKGROUND #this is a character who is USED TO BEING MADE THE VICTIM #and in her run on the show and very likely before we see her stand up and REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM OR LET ANYONE ELSE BE THE VICTIM #tara is the fucking moral compass of this damn show and she guides everyone in a way that no other character does because she is so pure … #and GOOD #and full of love #and she cares so deeply about everyone including herself and does not let people pull any shit with her #she is the strongest character in this series and i refuse to place her in a little box as willow’s girlfriend #she is so much more than a label and her identity couldnt even BEGIN to be defined by her relationship status #most beautiful character most lion-hearted character most ethical character #queen of my HEART

Epic tag wins the internets!

What is “Buffy the vampire slayer” ? part 3

One of the first tv shows focused on strong female characters, making the heroine, Buffy Summers, a feminist icon. After 10 years, we still remember each one of these characters:  independent, fierce, warrior, bad ass. It’s not only about physical strengh or how well they use their weapons, it’s about their journey ( emotional pain…) and how they get through the worst, stronger than ever. They came to win, to fight, to rise.

Backstory: a few weeks ago, I accepted an internship with the DC Center for LGBT Resources. My father found out, threatened to kick me out if I did it, and basically raged on and on for a while. My flight to DC is on May 24th, and I’m pretty sure my father was going to keep me from catching it.

Just now, he came into my room and yelled at my brother for playing Starcraft II on my Dell. (I’m typing this on an old Macbook.) Then he threatened to smash my laptop, to which I replied that it was my property. The Dell was given to me by my university as part of my scholarship, and it is considered their property for a year until I start my second year there.

Upon me informing him of this, he grew enraged, picked up my laptop, and smashed it on the bedpost. The frame is broken, it won’t close properly, etc…

My father has had a history of violence with me, one that I don’t want to go into yet. However, calling the cops isn’t an option, since he’s the sole supporter of my family, and my mother can’t support herself; I also have three siblings.

Anyway, I need to get out of here. I live in Huntsville, Alabama. If anyone has any ideas or can give me a place to stay until the 24th, that would be most helpful. Thank you so much for reading this.

Men Can Stop Rape’s new College Bystander Intervention campaign.

Actual good anti rape campaign posters! They don’t shame victims, they ask people to examine their own actions and inactions and protect their friends. And not in a gross excuse for chivalry either, just as people keeping people safe.

I like this. 

Yep I agree. I also like how it’s not tying a man taking action around rape to some imaginary alpha male/hypermasculine sort of thing. Like a real man would do such and such.  

Hey look! It’s an anti-rape campaign based on being a decent human being! In all seriousness, this is marvelous. I bolded the above for emphasis.
