Who’s your favorite female character in literature?

“Consensual sex” is just sex. To say that implies that there is such a thing as “non consensual sex”, which there isn’t. That’s rape. That is what it needs to be called. There is only sex or rape. Do not teach people that rape is just another type of sex. They are two very separate events. You wouldn’t say “breathing swimming” and “non breathing swimming”, you say swimming and drowning.

The best part of re-reading a book is seeing the early interactions of your canon ships and being like “you don’t even know that that’s the love of your LIFE right there… but I do!” It’s like such a wonderful, satisfying, Look-How-Far-We’ve-Come moment.
