... perhaps it is on these levels that moons and comets meet, fables and seas. I'm just a girl [INFP] forever in love with Alain Delon, John Davis Chandler, Luca Marinelli, Heath Ledger, Gian Maria Volonté (& a few others) I also write books and plays. A fanfic or two. The majority of the photos posted on this blog are edited/restored by me. Please do not repost my gifs/photos on Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram without credit.

I tried to get past this today, throw it to the wayside but the more it settles, the more it bothers. I tried to appeal a post that was flagged last night and I couldn't save it. This website still deemed it a violation of their guidelines. The gif set in question? Juliet crying over Romeo as she realises he's dead, and bends over, kissing him.

A kiss was deemed a violation.

Since when has a kiss been so offensive that it could be deemed as such and how did we get here? How and why is everything censored?

I don't know what to make of this. I like this site and have been around for quite a bit but sometimes the censorship is too much (and in truth, this site has changed a lot) A kiss, more offensive than 95% of what's going on in the world?

On the subject of Shakespeare- Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.

How sad it is, to see such dislike toward an act of love, of affection, preferring to cut this out of life or to block it out of one's mind yet we give so little to the taking of a life or refuse to stand up for what's right.

This is who we are.

For a short moment, we were able to glimpse such a wondrous emotion yet how fleeting it is, until the day it's gone.

“It’s hard to kind of find something that was… that had the balance of being not too animal, and yet, not kind of human… And be able to be quite subtle ‘bout it and suggest things. So it was quite hard to do that and quite hard work to do that cuz you find out the way to do it by jumping around and running about.” - Alan Cumming on Kurt’s movements
