Gee i dunno, maybe the way they had her spread her legs and make an o-face???
She has to pose, he gets to play
Asking “what’s sexual about this” is almost insidous. Sure, she’s not naked and she’s not performing any sexual acts, but that’s not what sexualization necessarily means. The girl-child is looking longinly,
languishingly into the camera. She has her legs in a short dress spread, her lips separated, and very much make-up making her look older. She is passive, for the camera/viewer, while the boy is active, joking, playing, relaxed and as a child, respected as a child. I’m sure someone might say, “but that’s you sexualizing her, with your gaze” but come on, who are we kidding here? We know the industry sexualizes young girls, we know this isn’t a coinscidence. We know this is the pattern, the model for woman according to the male gaze or woman performing for the male gaze, and we know she is 13 and that everyone knows she is. And we know this destroys girls.

In which Thor is oblivious to all the awkward in the room… [x]
broke: thor doesn’t notice the awkward
woke: thor is so strong and cheerful that he believes he can just steamroller over all the awkward and make it go away
bespoke: thor is perfectly aware of the awkward and very much enjoying it
You can’t convince me that Thor isn’t perfectly aware of the awkward
Thor milking this moment for all the Awkward he can get out of it because he’s that extra is a Good Take
People constantly think that Thor is kinda clueless, but he always knows what he’s doing
anyone who thinks Thor isn’t fully aware of exactly what he’s doing is someone who’s never been an elder sibling out to absolutely mortify a younger sibling and knowing exactly how to go about doing it to best and greatest effect
the funniest thing we do to alligators is duct tape their mouths shut when we need to handle them. imagine being a creature so ancient and undefeatable that you haven’t changed in thousands of years being rendered basically defenseless by a piece of plastic
Hey guess who’s having a fucking existential crisis. Oh would you look at that, it’s me!
I’m currently mid year 2 of my Chemistry degree but I’ve been thinking. Am I happy doing this? Is this where I want to be? What do I actually want to do with my life?
I keep circling back round to the fact that I know my friends make me happy. But I’m not sure if there’s anything else that does that at the moment? And I think that scares me?
Like I don’t want to go to lectures. I don’t want to really do anything right now?
And now I’m writing this out it is seeming so similar to the last big depressive period I went through.
Fuck.
Guess I’m gonna have to go back to the doctors then.
