Fortunately, not one of these beliefs is true. In fact, they are each and every one dead wrong. (The only exception is if you share your feelings with another emotionally neglected person, who may not have any idea how to respond). When you grow up receiving consistent direct or indirect messages that you should keep your feelings to yourself, it is natural to assume that those feelings are burdensome and undesirable to others.

This guy gets it. I like him. He’s getting angry. Angry is good. Angry gets shit done. You shed tears for Compé Anansi, and here he is, telling you you are staring down the barrel of 300 years of subjugation, racist bullshit and heart disease. He is telling you there isn’t one goddamn reason you shouldn’t go up there right now and slit the throats of every last one of these Dutch motherfuckers and set fire to this ship!
treasure island but everytime the notorious and supposedly dead captain flint is mentioned, there’s a cut to james flint mcgraw and his husband thomas hamilton living a happy gay life together and doing cute things.
“he was the bloodthirstiest buccaneer that sailed”
– cut to flint finding his husband passed out on the sofa with a book and then carefully tucking him in w a blanket and a lil kiss to the temple –
“blackbeard was a child to flint”
– cut to flint repeatedly and incredibly gently removing a kitten as it crawls onto the kitchen counter to steal the fish he’s cooking –
“the spaniards were so prodigiously afraid of him that, i tell you, sir, i was sometimes proud that he was an englishman”
– cut to flint under a peach tree with his head in his husband’s lap, hand feeding him grapes in exchange for kisses –
