📁Elsa (the Runner, Michiru's "Friend". This Is Random I Know, But Nobody Talks About Her)

i cant offer your friend any money, but please let her know we all support her and its a terrible thing that she had to go through that 💕💕

Don't worry about the money. She is fully funded. Also do you know any resources for anxiety?

A BLACK GIRL IN OVERWATCH?!!!!

I came to this realization years ago but: Korea loves Kpop girls, but don't love the actual girl.

They love the persona: the aegyo, the sexy stage, the bubbly songs, the submissiveness of female idols.

However, when these girls; these women (because I feel like some of them aren't even seen as that) are vocal about feminism, inequality, self love, or take any control over their lives; they are demonized in an instant. If someone leaked pictures of them that were supposed to be private, they are slut shamed, attention whores, ugly, or not that talented to begin with.

And this isn't restricted to kpop. This isn't restricted to Korea itself. But this is a factor, one of many, that messes with someone's mental state. Which could lead to things like suicide.

This quick "shoot down idols for being slightly flawed or human" is prevalent to both genders. We've lost idols from both genders. But there will ALWAYS be a different standard for women because they are supposed to be the pure innocent person that fits the societal gaze.

At the end of the day, if we do not break that mentality thrusted at us that these female idols (and all idols too) are simply here to be Barbie dolls and not human beings, then we run the risk of losing another idol.

Thank you for saying this. Not all Black/brown Christians became one as a result of white people. Orthodox Christians in places like Ethiopia and Coptic Christians in Sudan and Egypt exist, and have been peacefully coexisting with other religions.

when y’all bash christianity, make sure you bash western christianity. lumping all christians into a monolith is racist :) (conviently ignoring middle eastern, african and black, latin american, asian christians). and if you’re writing posts like “all christians suck” then you’re ignoring tons of non-white/western Christians. a lot of these sects are also oppressed and marganlized bcs no one knows shit abt them or the black and brown ppl. and not all christianity has to do with white influence . and also–catholics are christian just wanted to clear that up. 

don’t try and conflate all christianity with white supremacy bcs that’s what so many of y’all are trying to do.

I love how he calls cleopatras family Egyptians despite Cleopatra being greek and a colonizer :/

Your knowledge of Egyptian history is astonishing. Only the 26th dynasty of Egypt was black. And they were Nubian invaders/conquerors. They werent native egyptians, egyptians before them saw them as a separate ethnic group than themselves and Nubian dynasty is considered to be an occupation. They were the only non native dynasty to rule up until Cleopatra's family, whom descend from Greek generals of Alexander the Great. And they were the last egyptian pharoahs. So no, Egyptians werent black.

djalkdjfa take this passive aggressive antiblackness form my inbox lol. go harass some other person

You’re right and does anyone notice how paparazzi culture has evolved into Stan culture nowadays especially since social media used more ?

Everyone is (rightfully) angry at Britney’s family for keeping her under the conservatorship, but let’s not forget it was the tabloid press who drove her to a breakdown, who isolated her to the point that it was possible for her to be placed under such control. And not only did they get away with it, they harassed countless other women and continue to do so with near impunity.

So where are those “bleach isn’t coming back because ichiruki isn’t canon “ headasses?

YEMEN. South Yemen. Island of Socotra. Young girls in Hadiboh. 1995.

Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin called JK Rowling a nasty basic bitch back in like, 2004? We should have listened

can I just say you're the only one in the unhealthy/ healthy tomco post that's reasonable?? the person who posted it is legit dodging Toms flaws and things he's done wrong but you point them out and reason both sides. I have respect for you dude. I ship tomco and I wish some people would understand that even though Tom is making up for it, he did do bad things. you list that. applaud to you dude. (I'm kind of scared saying this tbh but I feel like I can trust you a bit)

I think my biggest problem with a lot of theory/ analysis/ discussion blogs on here is that i always felt like they were very biased.

Usually ship biased.

I prefer to usually be open minded when i talk about stuff then being that person who denies everything for their ship. Every ship has it’s flaws, and if you pretend they don’t it just sounds ignorant because you making one ship out to be utterly perfect while every other ship is bad because it has flaws just makes me think of you as unreliable. Even things you like, you can accept aren’t perfect, and that’s fine.

I love tomco, but i won’t sit here and deny the flaws within the characters, or the ship. I can acknowledge their flaws, and love the ship endlessly.

Tom is a fascinating character to me, i adore him. He’s not perfect, he makes bad choices, but i can understand where he’s coming from and why he makes them, it doesn’t make them any better but it does allow you to really get his character.

It makes him relatable, 3D, he’s no flat character who does everything right all the time, he’s a kid who is clearly going through a lot and in turn he does things that understandably make Star and Marco mad…which in turn makes you feel for him since you know all Tom wants is to be loved and feel proud of himself. And he keeps driving away two people who have the making to be his best friends.

Tom is not an angel, but he’s also not the heartless monster a lot of the fandom treats him as.

He’s an understandable character, and i know in the future he and i’m sure some other characters will do things i will call them out for. But i’m glad the crew wanted to take this route with him, I really hope we see Tom grow to feel proud of himself and love himself someday and I’m glad Marco is here for him and stays by his side despite everything, because Marco didn’t have to do that, but he just cares about Tom and it’s just sweet of him to want to still hang out with him despite his flaws and everything in their past.

They’re too good for this fanbase.

I can’t wait to watch them learn from their mistakes and grow closer in future seasons.

And thanks, i’m glad people enjoy my thoughts on the matter. ^^;
