“ What’s the worst thing you can call a woman? Don’t hold back, now. You’re probably thinking of words like slut, whore, bitch, cunt (I told you not to hold back!), skank. Okay, now, what are the worst things you can call a guy? Fag, girl, bitch, pussy. I’ve even heard the term ‘mangina.’ Notice anything? The worst thing you can call a girl is a girl. The worst thing you can call a guy is a girl. Being a woman is the ultimate insult. Now tell me that’s not royally fucked up. ”

Original Song - Lead a Light (written for Merlin and Arthur in mind)

It’s too dark in here

I think you should hide

You won’t listen to me

You think you should fight

In that case, I’ll lead a light

So you’ll see you’re not alone

I’ll stay at home

And pray for your safety

While you go and save the world for me

Climb the walls of my heart

And start to tear me apart

I’ll show you what it’s like to be safe

To be taken care of

Because I’ll take care of you

I’ll go over what you said

About what it’s like to be afraid

But I won’t promise a damn thing

Until you’re back here with me, darling

I’m okay with this

As long as you come back

I’m fine with this

As long as you see my light in the dark

So go be the hero of histories

And I’ll be the one writing this
