Dear St@rco fans,
Stop taking media that is explicitly about same gender couples and applying them to your ship. I.e. Don’t make “In A Heartbeat” AUs for St@rco. Don’t make St@rco music videos to Studio Killers’ song “Jenny”. By using these things in your AUs for a het ship you are completely missing the point of them. They are specifically about LGBT+ people dealing with LGBT+ issues. In A Heartbeat is a short film about a young boy in love with another boy and his fear of being outed to his peers. Jenny is about a woman in love with her best female friend, and is also afraid to confess and out herself.
So unless you’re using Trans Girl Marco when you put St@rco into this AU, don’t do it at all.
Sincerely,
A lesbian who’s getting really tired of this shit happening over and over again
I love this song
stooooooop trying to convince men you’re smart and just extort them
Reminder to not give up, you are bringing about change.
List of positives to come out of the recent protests as of June 4:
- George Floyd’s murderer charged with murder and manslaughter, then had charges increased, then the officers that watched it happen were charged with aiding and abetting
- Louisville police (Breonna Taylor’s murderers) department will now be under review from an outside agency, which will include review on training, bias-free policing and accountability. (Unfortunately her killers have still not faced charges yet as far as I could find.)
- Charges are to be dropped for Kenneth Walker
- Atlanta has announced plans to create a task force + public database to track police brutality in metro Atlanta area
- Minneapolis city council members are considering disbanding police force in favor of a “community-oriented, nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity”
- Colorado lawmakers have introduced an incredible police reform bill that includes body cam laws, repealing the “fleeing felon” statute, banning chokeholds, and more
Feel free to add more if you know of more!
I get it lol. The first arc of bleach had completely different vibes and I miss all the side character classmates 😭
I remember reading once before his editor intervened, Kubo originally planned to due more substitute shinigami stories with Ichigo’s classmates
Sadly, his editor wanted him to hurry up and get to the Soul Society arc but I honestly wished Kubo was allowed to follow through with his original vision
It would’ve made this scene even more impactful
the torch has been past down 💛
Hello everyone!
I am so sorry for the delay. I’ve been busy but am finally able to announce Black Midsummers Day!
This is a day that takes places this month on midwinter (aka - the winter solstice, 21st). I decided on a day, not a week (yet—the week will be in June) due to the close proximity of the event. But don’t worry—it’s an easy event.
Who is this event open to? Black people.
What is this event about?
Black Midsummers Day is an event to celebrate black people in sub and alternative genres that we are usually kept out of . Genres such as classical, goth, dark academia, vampires, fantasy, period, history, literature, etc.
How to participate:
It is simple and there are so many ways. The first way, is to post a selfie of yourself dressed in or in the aesthetics of anything mentioned above. But it’s totally fine if you don’t want to show your face! Do you write poetry, draw anything related to the genres above, make mood boards, aesthetics, etc., post that and that’s fine too. Also, do you sing anything relate above, play instruments, etc? Post that too?
Just make sure you are a.) black and b.) either @ this blog or use #blackmidsummers when you post!
This is supposed to be a fun event. As a black person myself who loves things like period drama, fantasy, alt cultures, etc., I never felt that we got to see ourselves in such areas. Especially black women and women aligned folks. That said, I want to represent us in all of your beauty.
If you aren’t black—you cannot partake but you are 100% free to share and boost this post and any posts related to it!
