They Call Mary The Ribbon Girl Because She Walks The Tightrope With Satin In Her Teeth And Blood In Her

they call mary the ribbon girl because she walks the tightrope with satin in her teeth and blood in her shoes, bows tied at her wrists like shackles, ankles bound in silk like a gift someone forgot to open. she’s all glitter and spit and half-laughter, more bruises than skin. the circus calls her a marvel. the posters say delicate. the men in the front row say please. she just grins, pink tongue flashing, and says nothing. her hands shake when she climbs the ladder but you’d never know it. they only see the ribbons. they only ever see the ribbons.

backstage smells like piss and sawdust and sugar gone sour. she sews the bows onto her thighs like armor, like decoration, like camouflage. there’s meat in the freezer that doesn’t belong to any animal. her dressing room door doesn’t lock anymore. the bearded lady went missing two weeks ago and no one talks about it. she paints her lips red and sharpens her teeth on the mirror’s edge. she says fuck grace and bites the ringmaster’s hand when he touches her shoulder. he doesn’t touch her again. smart man. or maybe just scared. she eats her dinner raw now. eats it slow. like she wants it to scream.

in the ring she spins like a weapon wrapped in velvet. a boy in the second row throws a rose and she catches it with her mouth. spits the stem out into the dirt and keeps walking. her ribbon slips, just a little. someone sees the scar beneath it and claps louder. they always clap louder. freak, they whisper. miracle. monster. miracle. she thinks they’re all synonyms anyway. she waves, bows, smiles. someone else goes missing that night.

the next morning, her lipstick is smeared and there’s blood on her sheets and the lion won’t stop snarling. she hums a lullaby with ribbons in her hair and fingers sticky with marrow. the posters say nothing. the posters never say anything at all.

No because I was planning to watch Supernaturals and then I just found out that apparently people ACTUALLY shipped Sam and Dean??!!

Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I know that y'all's only excuse will be "this is just fiction," "Get over it, it's not that deep I'm a pro shipper," or even worse, "It's not hurting anybody" oh my god you guys are so sick what the fuck. What in the world....people actually liking to ship two brothers truly surprised and horrified me beyond my comprehension. Please GET HELP IMMEDIETLY.

I took a look at the #wincest tag and literally what the fuck...???

Idk how ANYONE dares say its real? Like bro wtf?

Why are you admitting to liking incest?

Why are you proud to ship two brothers together?

Especially after that one episode where they called dean/sam shippers out when they found out about the spn books

I saw a comment say they just choose to ignore the destiel moments after s3 and the 'wincest chemistry' is still there.

Im literally sick to my stomach i didnt know people were fr about this shit

I filtered the tag and will spend the rest of my life ignoring it for my own mental health

Elon Musk and Trump are fucking cancers to this society

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

GOD I MISS AOT SO FUCKING MUCH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i think that childhood best friends to enemies trope is the most tragic thing to ever exist bc like. we’ve both done unspeakable things to each other and there’s no getting back to what we were at the start of this but there’s a part of me that still knows you like no one else could ever possibly know you. the whole idea of trust and devotion turned to a mutual, burning hunger to destroy each other. I hate you this much because i loved you this much. drives me insane.
