When i first joined tumblr, first entered the Evans fandom, an amazing group of ladies (many of them founders of @tsfrce) posted EvansChess on Wednesdays. The idea was to start a theme, and each new ‘player’ would add a photo to top the one before, trying to ‘kill’ all the players- was it hot enough? Send you running for a shower? You get the idea…
Sweater porn was my entry into the fandom. If this place is gonna go up in flames by December 17, let’s go out in style!
Today’s Wednesday EvansChess challenge is SWEATERS!
Anyone can play, add a photo! Tag friends!
But Chris has to be wearing a SWEATER in your photo or gif!
For some of us, tumblr is this book we’ve written over the years that no one from our personal lives has read, a journal full of everything we would want to share but also enjoy quietly.
“Luckily, not only are we not alone, there’s a reason for that rude little voice that tells us we should question our behavior at all. There was a time when this brand of voracious expression was reserved for teens crying at a boy band concert and women who were seen as desperate or out of touch for expending so much energy fantasizing about a person they didn’t even know. We were expected to out-grow our fascinations with handsome, talented men that Hollywood paraded in front of us and instead become fascinated with real men, prizes that so many of them are. The message in pop culture, but also just in the general cultural consciousness, was that women are and should be more guarded about our sexual desires, perpetuating the fantasy that we are winnable, steely against all sexuality until coaxed into desire by some worthy dude with job security and a decent car.
Fortunately, somewhere along the way, pop culture (and then culture in general) started to catch up with the fact that frankly, that’s not how women actually are. We aren’t prim and proper, waiting for someone to bait our sexuality out of us. We’re lusty and sexual as hell…”
^^^ Great Bustle article on fangirling, shaming, and women finally having the freedom and the spaces to unleash our inner thirst loudly and proudly!

@devikafernando He’s taken his glasses off, listening so intently to her, watching her temper start to flare and all he can think is that he needs her in his bed again…
