In regards to the topic we raised regarding 'fantasising about being a fictional character', i think i see this as the more reasonable option because, if you're going to wish you were someone else, it might as well be something unusual and in some cases, unobtainable.
If you're going to use your imagination to be something else, it might as well be the best thing you can think of, someone magical and completely different to real life. Fantasising is a way of escaping your own life, even if it is just for the one hour you spend watching your favourite programme. I mean yes, i am envious of the life YouTube stars get to lead nowadays, but I'd much rather be Elena Gilbert (Google her chummy, you shall know who i mean) who has two amazingly attractive vampires fighting over her, rather than a normal person who happens to have a great job. Am i making sense? I may just be rambling. It's possible.
Oh the hours of ranting we spent when several YouTubers were exposed for being rapists. I was so glad you had the same opinion as me. Let's face it, no matter how many times Zoella tells a girl to respect herself, when a 15 year old gets paid some attention by an older, 'cooler', boy, Zoella's words will evaporate into thin air. Everything she could of said will float away into the abyss when a boy merely caresses a girls face. It's what teenage girls are. It's how we are made at the end of day.
Girls, especially teenage girls, are hopeless when it comes to affection. I'm sorry if that offends you all the feminists out there, but we are. I myself have been in a situation (you may remember this yourself chummy) where a guy is CLEARLY taking advantage of me; i knew it, he knew it, but at the end of the day, all he had to do to get around my defences were to mutter a few sweet words and profess his affection. I was weakened. To this day i still don't understand why i let someones use me that way but, hey, it's a mistake i think all girls in some way NEED to make, as almost a life lesson.
And no, I'm not saying 'girls should be raped, that's how they'll learn', I'm saying boys are going to make advances on girls, they are in fact controlled by their genital urges. That's never going to stop. Just like a girls craving for affection is never going to stop. I think it is up to teachers and parents and friends of a teenager to educate them on how to either respect someone, not a well known YouTuber.
Maybe society should focus less on telling girls how to 'Say No' and more on teaching boys how to respect women. That's a little sexist of me. Let me rephrase:
'Maybe society should focus less on teaching people how to 'Say No' and more on teaching people how to respect each other.
ANYWAYS, moving on from the depressing rape culture of YouTube at the moment, i was yet again watching Dear Tom/Dear Carrie and they were discussing their favourite top 10 Disney films. Oh yeah, i went there. Now the following films will probably change over the next few days but heigh-ho (see what i did there), for now, here are my top ten!
- Beauty and the Beast
- Tangled
- Enchanted
- Hercules
- Frozen
- Monsters Inc
- Tarzan
- Pocahontas
- Up
- Maleficent
I am still on Sharp Object by Gillian Flynn, i have no time to read nowadays! The book is even more disturbing than Gone Girl. A lot of masturbation and killing and abuse. That's basically a summary. I'm still enjoying it though.. I'm not sure what that says about me to be honest.
I already feel like I've cheated on so many of my favourite films. Oh dear my heart.
Enjoy this picture of us looking cute.
See you next time Chummy! xox
