moral of the story please interact with lgbt+ people In Real Life especially in spaces with ppl who have been active in the community outside of tumblr for a few years (aka like. not a high school GSA) because literally everything is less shitty and ppl aren’t as weird because they’re a little busy like, trying to get trans ppl access to healthcare
Listen. LISTEN. it is insane to me how well Marisha understands wlw like I swear to god the first crush i got on a girl after realizing i was gay I said “it’s just a crush!! and I don’t know what to do with it”– and “I’m not gonna like act on it or anything” word for FUCKING word. Like she said that and i felt like i’d been slapped that was ME.
Like. people joke about wlw falling in love with their best friends and being unable to make a move for fear of being seen as predatory and taking advantage of their friends but holy shit it can really feel so isolating when you start falling in love with a friend you honestly believe will never return your feelings. “It’s NOT a possibility.”
and you start rationalizing, and you know nothing can come of it and you’d never make your feelings her problem. I saw that in Beau SO clearly when she was talking to Nott, and I’ve never ever seen those complicated, heartbreaking, paralyzing feelings in the voice of a fictional, sympathetic, and heroic character before.
all this to say Marisha said gay rights and I havent stopped crying for 12 hours
