“Raise girls to be resilient, raise your voice to be heard and when silenced, raise it higher. In a household of girls, my parents always told me that I was to be educated so I wouldn’t have a man treat me less than I deserved. That I work so hard that I wouldn’t need a man to tell me I was not enough. So I persevered, I stood by morals and chose to educate myself with books and words. But I am still silenced at times for calling myself a feminist, for speaking a little too forcefully, laughing too loudly, and writing too freely. I then understood that I was a woman, a woman with a voice who spoke for all woman who were afraid to. A boy fears a woman who is strong and educated, don’t worry because you don’t need him. If you know who you are, what you do and you are proud. That is all you need, you is all you need. “
This story is so smart, so lovely, so sad, and so hopeful. It’s beautifully written, and it handles family and faith better than the show ever did, and I think as good as anybody ever has. Also: Detective Kresge (from “Christmas Carol” and “Emily”).
Title:God’s Breath Author: Jintian (@jinjoint) Summary: May 1999. A mysterious death brings Scully’s faith and personal history to the fore. Length: 52,217 words / 293k Classification: X-File, Romance, Angst Rating:R Spoilers: None listed Favorite line: This is more a paragraph, but it was hard choosing any one line or anything not packed with spoilers: He wasalwaysdoing something like that. Pissing me off, and then letting some comment drop like he didn’t know it had the power to knock me flat with joy. Now I was picturing him sleeping in my bed – our bed, if I really admitted that he spent more time at my apartment than his anyway – sniffing the pillows and burrowing beneath my covers. I missed him.
Read the story! (And if you like it, leave kudos and/or a comment!)
There are not enough words to describe how spectacular these stories are, so suffice it to say that they beautifully, heartbreakingly, humorously, and very uniquely bring Mulder, Scully, and William together in a treasure of an X-Files fic novel.

Your brother and Wylan, your childhood friend, always wanted to join the training corps. As you were only a year younger than them, you grew up with them constantly talking about joining the military – naturally, you wanted to join the military too. Your parents tried to talk the three of you out of this, but it was useless. Wylan always wanted to see what was outside the walls, therefore he knew he wanted to join the survey corps. Your brother tried to talk him out of this, but Wylan was stubborn.
When you finally reached the appropriate age to join the survey corps, you were beyond excited. Your brother and Wylan both waited another year so you could all join together.
“This is going to be so fun!” Wylan shouted the first day.
Out of the three of you, your brother was the best one – he was a great fighter, he was great with the gear and he was very obedient as well. Wylan was doing great – nothing exceptional but he could easily make into the top ten.
“At this rate, I’m sure the three of us will end up in the top ten and you know what that means?” your brother asked, “we could all move inside of wall Sina, and have a nice and peaceful life.”
Had a “Monday Mother’s Day Movie” with my mom today and it was so much fun! The theater was almost empty so we got to whisper to each other throughout the film, make jokes, and have a really good time.
Am I the only one whose bottom control bar (reblog, like, comment, edit, delete, etc) has returned to the compact format?
Because it has and I’m more confused than anything else. I’ve gotten used to the spread out view, I can adapt to this again, I just want a choice in the matter or at the very least some consistency
EW NEVERMIND GIVE ME THE SPREAD OUT ONE BACK!
I DON’T like how the queue button is a little clock and ugtrifuhjgrj no I’d rather have a full spread out footer feature than…this.
I know I sound fickle and picky, but I am and I’d rather have the clear spread-out view than the traditionally compact one that has new “quirky” symbols and logos for the queue button, but has the POST button in bright blue.
