Today I was assaulted. Today
An old man pressed his lips against my skin
without me asking
without my encouragement
He rubbed my thigh and his lips touched my face--
this man I'd known only two hours
And I did not stop it.
I didn't say no, didn't
move back, didn't
know how,
wanted to,
but as I always do when it is important, I
froze (I am more rabbit
than Kat)
And now I will not
report it, because I am wearing a low cut shirt and shorts; because
I
did
not
say
no
and because I did not know who
to call for help
Because I could not force myself to speak

On the possibility that other choices were made
Scientists have posited the theory that our world hates making decisions so much that each time a choice is put forward, the universe splits in two: dividing in perpendicular paths, one in which each option is chosen.
It follows, then, that there are universes out there (multitudes) where we made the choices that saved my father.
There is one in which he never got cancer in the first place. One where my mother let them remove the fungus that actually killed him. One where he listened to me and went to the doctor four months before he actually went. One where I worried enough to make him go anyway. One where we kept him at the same hospital.
These are things that I know:
The smell of cut grass; lilacs; bacon; vanilla; coffee
The sound of my father's voice
The feel of asphalt beneath my feet; feathers against my palm; mud between my toes; pages between my fingers
The taste of a chocolate chip cookie
Sunlight against my skin while my eyes are closed
The dappled light that hits the grass beneath a tree
Green in all its forms
Written words which I can return to time and time again
And the ache of knowing:
there is something I have lost; something I will never touch.
Hi there.
You've shown up in a lot of media, I don't know if you've noticed. I was just watching a movie about you the other day, actually. You were kind of sweet there, like someone who came to end pain for people in suffering. I'd like to think that's what you're like.
Still, I'm pretty freaking ticked at you, sir. ... Madam. Whichever. I mean, I know it's been almost two years, but you took someone I really cared about, and I wasn't ready for him to go.
Most of the time I'm okay with it, anymore. Most of the time I can say, "My dad's dead," and not even make an awkward pause in the conversation, because usually (almost always) I can pas

Rumplestiltskin's Revenge--Name Yourself
Kijani uses his name as a rebellion. The queen may have taken away his mother, his father, even his ability to control his own body, but every time she says "Jon, I have a task for you," even as he does what she commands, he thinks to himself, my name is Kijani. My grandfather was a merchant across the Middling Sea, and when my mother came here, she named me to remember her home. I am Kijani. And someday, I will be free.
Moire embraces her new name. Goldiloks has always been a mouthful, and it's a strange non-name, the kind of thing only royalty would even consider giving their child (because who would dare laugh at a princess?) Moire, thoug

I like to read, and write, though most of my writing doesn't end up on here. I'm a grammar nazi and proud of it, and I enjoy drawing. My biggest fandom is the Sisters Grimm
Current Residence: New Jersey Favourite genre of music: Rock/metal or alt Favourite style of art: manga/traditional Operating System: PC MP3 player of choice: whatever I can afford Favourite cartoon character: Wile E. Coyote Personal Quote: He wasn't trying to kill himself, he was just trying to relieve the pressure!
That's right, guys! Tomorrow we start week two!
Now this doesn't mean that you can't submit a selfie. We'll still spread the word around and all, so if you haven't finished yet, don't freak out.
BUT it would be super cool if we could get ten participants in the first week. We've got eight people who did something so far, so if you wanted to do something, just you and one other person would make ten!
C'mon, please? DA has almost no participation.
GUYS YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO THIS I'M SUBMITTING MY FIRST ENTRY TOMORROW IT'LL BE SO COOL C'MON YOU CAN DO IT JUST ONE LITTLE THING PLEASE IF YOU'RE IN THE FANDOM PARTICIPATE WE NEED EVERY ONE OF YOU AND I PROMISE THERE'S NO JUDGEMENT NO WINNERS JUST EXCITEMENT AND LOVE FOR A WONDERFUL SERIES
Ahem
So yeah I'm more than a little pumped about the upcoming arrival of the tenth anniversary of one of my favorite book series(es?) and y'all should all participate because TEN YEARS the fandom survived TEN YEARS we made it past the end of our series by three years that's a really big step in the right direction and I love the whole fandom and we shoul
So I finally saw Mockingjay with my sister and DAYUM that was an excellent movie. Anyway, it got me thinking, and hear me out: Sisters Grimm Hunger Games AU.
I mean, lots of people do Hunger Games AUs for their fandoms, but I haven't seen one for Sisters Grimm yet.
So like I mean Sabrina probably volunteered for Daphne because they've been living with Granny for years, right? And Henry and Veronica would be Avoxes.
Puck would be a cocky asshole from one of the richer districts, and he and Sabrina would team up out of necessity, probably because it was that or they'd both die.
You could work in the other kids (aside from Daphne) as tribute
hello ! how are you today ? well I'm Chocollow you welcomed me to DA 3 years ago lol but now I moved to this account (you'll probably receive a notification) so I just wanted to say hello
