This Is All I Have Right Now - Tumblr Posts
More of a whole fandom thing, less of a ship thing, but here's what I've got for one line to tell you what it is:
"real or not real?" "real."
"where did you get that magnet, Lily?"
"You'll get married, Jo. (...) And I'll watch."
"What if they say, 'get outta here, kid! you got no future!' I mean, I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection!"
"Of all the gin joints in the world, she walks into mine."
"The game is on."
"I wish I had a million dollars. Hot dog!"
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
"A word which here means..."
"inconceivable!"
"Comparing my intellect to a broken cigarette lighter...that's an interesting mix of poetry and meaness."
"I don't want diamond sunbursts or marble halls. I just want you."
"Stay with me." "Always."
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli."
"Get me a glass of milk! Chocolate!"
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
"Can you hear it? Can you hear the ticking or the clocks, Goncharov?"
Okay also, the woman never injures the other person, which implies women are weak and can't hurt someone whether or not they are trying, and it implies that it's okay to use violence so long as you're a woman and you care about them, which is kind of a mix of sexism and reverse sexism (by which I mean sexism against women vs sexism against men, but obviously everyone is harmed by any form of gender discrimination etc)
And the male version of these scenes is guys shaking the female (imo) because men can't hit women and be good guys, so media loopholes that by using shaking instead of hitting.
Oh and also Grey's anatomy. Multiple occurrences and people.
Women hitting people in movies and books.
(This has been bouncing around in my head for a while but it's not like cohesive thoughts, so apologies)
There are the Molly Wesleys (Harry Potter), the Aunt Cass' (Big Hero 6, specifically after they get arrested), Katniss Everdeens (The Hunger Games, especially at the end of the first book), and I know there are more but that's just off the top off my head.
There are these scenes where the woman gets so upset, usually because she's worried about someone, and hits the person. It never injures them, but she hits them and saying something like "how could you do this!! I was so worried about you!!" And it's played as just a sign of their concern and it's no big deal. But like ??
I haven't really come to a conclusion on where I stand on this, but it feels wrong. Like, it's not violence because they actually love the person??
Also please reblog because I have like 5 followers and I want more opinions 👍👍
It also plays off of the hysterical woman stereotype and it normalizes violence as a form of love

Also Donna and Rachel in Suits. They're both supposed to be like Independent Strong Women but like ?? They slap male characters who are just, okay with it ?? But to mention s2e16 Rachel slapped Mike 2 times, goes for a third and he stops her, and they're both like yeah he's been lying for as long as you've known but like let's get back together
