“You thought if you were good. If you gave up the things that made you different. The world you know. That it would be enough. But sacrifice is often so invisible. People do not look for it in others. They know their own. They list them out like titles at a ball. I've done for you. I've done for you. I've done. And it is always your turn now. To hurt, to long. To be a broken thing. A thing that differs. Before, you always thought you were a person.” LoveSacrificeFeminismFairytaleFairytale Retelling Book:Tangleweed and Brine Source: Tangleweed and Brine
“You do not ask her if she even wants him. That is not at all what it's about. It's not about being sensible, or strong. It's not about being kind. It's not about the soft touch and the kind heart. Beauty and a womb. That's all you are. That's all an adder needs.” LoveBeautyFeminismFairytale RetellingFairytalesFairytale Retellings Book:Tangleweed and Brine Source: Tangleweed and Brine
