The last 30 minutes of Shang chi and the legend of the ten rings was everything.

It start with Wenwu praying at the shrine of his wife, eyes closed, hand clasped, the chaos outside where people fighting and yet he stop and pause to pray to/for her, how high he put her in his heart, then we can sympathize with his motive and understand why he can't listen to reason because he was blinded by his own desire to reunite with her again.

Every fight Wenwu and Shang Chi have just simply mindblowing. It wasn't merely an action sequence but the way they express their grief and frustration through each punch and kick.

Wenwu : "you were there when they came for her, and you did nothing you stood at the window and watch her die!"

Shang chi " She was gone and we needed you, but you choose that damn rings over us. You trained your son to be a killer, is this what you want it?! Even if you could bring her back. What makes you think she wants to do anything with you?"

Both wenwu and shang chi were trying to hurt each other even more with words then they did with punches, because they know where it hurt most, to hear the truth about their own guilt.

Wenwu never told Shang chi when he was young that he blamed Shang chi for his wife death, that there's always be a part of him that whispered what if young Shang chi was strong enough to help his mother, to stop them from killing his wife and wenwu had carried that resentment in his heart for so long.

Then the fight sequence when Shang chi used his mother movement to fight Wenwu, it was so poignant the way that wenwu could see his wife spirit in shang chi as they stare into each other eyes in that slow motion dance, at that moment I am sure wenwu realized, he never actually lost his wife, she was always there with him, in his son, in his daughter.

Tony leung was such a master for making it so easy for people to see what was in his mind through his eyes and expression. The way he expressed anguish and sorrow. Marvel couldn't get a better actor to play Wenwu even if they tried.

Then that last dialogue between wenwu and shang chi was truly heartbreaking.

Wenwu : "I need to save her! She's calling for me."

Shang chi : "I wish that was true."

Wenwu : *shaking his head stubbornly because he didn't want to believe in reality."

Shang chi : "Dad please, your family needs you."

Wenwu came into realization how far he had strayed, abandoned the only things that truly matter in his life, his children.

When the monster took his soul away, the way he remembered each phase in Shang chi's life, a young man, a teenager, a kid, and a baby in his arms, and understand that his boy has become strong enough to carry the ten rings and let go of that power and be at peace of his own fate.

It's a masterpiece of storytelling, well acted performance by simu and Tony leung and other casts. This movie ..gosh it made you feel so many things. Go watch it everyone if you haven't already.

idk who needs to hear this (except everyone, honestly) but Black content creators are treated awfully on any platform where we mention that we’re Black. It’s not just a Tumblr problem. It’s a fandom problem.

Please don’t ignore this and hyperfocus on a specific site, because when a supportive network of creators leaves, we aren’t left with much option either.

Report hate speech. Report threats. Report racists. Block them and let your friends know so they can stay safe. Speak up.

But don’t turn a blind eye to the large scale issue by saying the problem only exists here.

TDOR 2020. Each candle represents one of the 350 transgender individuals killed this year globally. The United States, where I live, had 37 cases of fatal violence against trans people. 

On this day, we remember those we have lost. 

Statistics reported by Forbes and the Human Rights Campaign.

Rioting is happening in philadelphia for Walter Wallace. He was shot 10+ times by police while his mother stood by and begged them not to shoot. Witnesses say he had a knife but he was not near police nor was he coming near them. There was no attempt to de-escalate the situation before he was murdered.

Police have lost control of the city, and at least 12 police are in the hospital after altercations with protesters.

No one is talking about the situation. It is not trending. There is barely any media coverage for the situation, all information I have received has come straight from people living in Philly.

Raise awareness, look into the situation, speak up. Philly is in the midst of a revolution and we are hearing nothing about it.

some of you people NEED to be fucking reminded that loving minorities will always be more important than hating bigots

The War pt. 2 [remus lupin x gender neutral!reader]

summary: The battle ensues, lives are lost. Live of which you were close to, some you were not. You could at least be thankful that the one person you needed had survived. At least, for now. The future is becomes quickly uncertain. warnings: minor character death and a brief injury. It’s nondescript, but still mentioned. word count: 2k a/n: So sorry for the delay! Life has been kicking me down extremely hard. I should be able to update hopefully more frequently now though. part 1

    The battle erupted, chaos and mayhem everywhere, invading Death Eaters destroying everything you held dear to you. People on both sides fell, unable to be identified in fear that you would soon join them if your focus strayed too far.

Your eyes squinted in focus, shooting spells, deflecting attacks. You worked with the people around you, lending help whenever you could. It didn't matter if you knew them or not, you helped them out, they helped you out.

You stood back to back with a kind looking girl. She couldn't have looked a day older than 16, yet she was still fighting a war. That knowledge spurred you on tonight as hard as you could, despite the fatigue that you felt creeping up on you.

Although, you couldn't help but wondering about if Remus was okay. You knew he was a tough cookie, that he could survive practically anything, but that didn't stop you. You both had lost many people close to you from the first war. You didn't want this one to be a repeat. You had to protect the people you loved.

As your thoughts strayed from the task at hand, you spaced out a little, letting your guard down. A sharp pain ran through your side, toppling you over. Hissing in pain, you squeezed your eyes shut. Your hand grasped the wound as the chaos continued around you. You couldn't do anything except sit there and blackout as the attack continued.

The girl next to you kept shooting you worried glances as the battle went on. She felt the weight of not having another person helping crushing down on her shoulders. She didn't let that deter her, however. Her face twisted with intensity as she sought to take down every last Death Eater near you.

The Death Eaters were no match for her as they swiftly fell or ran. Soon enough, they were all gone, and there was a fleeting moment of peace.

"Is there a healer anywhere? Please!" She shouted desperately, scanning the area. She let out a sigh of relief as she spotted a healer running around the corner with clear signs of exhaustion.

"I got it, you go help others." He stated, kneeling beside you. You felt the song of sleep calling you, beckoning you towards it. The pain in your side subsiding gradually. She nodded before standing up, giving you one last reluctant look before running off.

The healer cast a spell on you, and the pain quickly subsided. Your vision cleared as you lifted your head, thanking the healer.

"The spell wasn't severe, no need to thank me. Be safe out there, okay?" He patted you on the back, quickly standing up and heading off again to check for more injured people.

You stood up, still mildly dazed from remnants of the pain from a few moments ago. You knew you had to keep going, though. For Remus, for James and Lily.

You shook your head and ran off to help the others. You could only pray that this would end soon.

Remus deeply breathed as he took out Death Eaters one by one. He stood alone but kept a close eye on those around him. The incoming Death Eaters seemed unending. He moved with precision, taking out Death Eaters swiftly.

Despite the calm, collected look on the outside, his inner thoughts scrambled about. He incessantly worried about you, despite the task at hand. He should've gone with you, he should've. He'd be doing so much better if he was with you, by his side. Like always.

Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore. His eyes quickly darting around him, he assessed the current situation. It seemed manageable by the people there. He shot one last spell at the Death Eater, toppling them over.

He clutched his wand tightly, running off to find you. He knew it was stupid, but he wasn't going to let you go that easily. James died while he wasn't there, Sirius got jailed without him there, he wasn't going to let you be next. You two still had so much ahead of you.

He wasn't going to accept a world without you in it.

He ran around the chaos of the castle aimlessly, eyes constantly scanning for any sight of you. He didn't have time to think about how sadly the castle looked at the moment, he only cared about you. He shot the occasional spell at an unsuspecting Death Eater as he went, but that wasn't his priority.

After a few minutes of running, he started to slightly back down on his idea. How was he going to find you in all this mess? The castle was so big, there was little to no chance of finding you.

Until by miracle, he found you. He instantly ran up to you, seeing you look a bit dazed, getting approached by Death Eaters. He silently shot spells at them, distracting them. You took advantage of the destruction and took the Death Eaters out. You lifted your eyes to meet Remus' with a relieved, yet worried look.

"Remus, oh Merlin." You grasped his face in your palms, taking a moment for yourselves. Your surroundings seemed calm for the time being. "How did you find me? Shouldn't you be helping others? We went entirely separate ways."

He lifted his hand to cup yours on his cheek, staring into your eyes. "I couldn't let you be alone, I thought I could do it, but my thoughts drifted too much."

"You idiot." You leaped forth and captured him in a tight embrace, burying your face in his neck. "You shouldn't have." You two stood there for a moment before letting go. You wished you could've stayed there, but you knew you had a battle to fight.

You defended Hogwarts together, feeling as motivated as ever. You both knew that each other were safe, and that allowed you to focus on keeping as many of the others safe as possible.

However, at some point, it just felt useless. The battle wasn't stopping. It seemed like you were just fighting a losing battle. Even you and Remus were worn down by it, but that didn't stop you. You were stubborn and would not be giving up.

A voice reverberated around the castle, startling both you and Remus. You jumped back, clutching at your wands.

"You have fought valiantly." The voice dominantly silenced all movement around the castle. There was no movement, only frozen bodies, frozen people, listening inescapably to the voice. The voice which belonged to Voldemort.

"Yet, you have lost many. If you continue to resist me, you will all die. I do not wish for that to happen, for it'd be truly tragic. I command my forces to retreat immediately." Instantaneously, the Death Eaters disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving behind the death and destruction.

"I will give you one hour. Dispose of your dead with dignity, treat your injured." Your mouth slightly gapes open in disbelief, not comprehending what you were hearing.

"I speak directly to you now, Harry Potter. You have let your friends die for you rather than face me yourself. I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If at the end of the hour, you have not come to me, then the battle recommences. This time, I will enter the battle myself, and I will not be merciful. I shall find you, and punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me." Remus' hand subtly rested on your shoulder protectively, "One hour, one hour."

An overwhelming silence took over the castle, leaving behind only the sound of crackling fire and the murmurs of those around you. The atmosphere shifted. It seemed peaceful, yet it wasn't right. Nothing seemed right, Harry was just given an ultimatum. Thoughts swirled frantically around in your head, bubbling you up with worry over Harry.

Remus pulled you back into his chest, giving you a tight hug. Tears fell from his eyes as he wept, out of relief or grid, he didn't know. Neither of you two knew the full extent of the damage done yet, but you had each other, and you were so grateful.

"You're okay, you're really okay. We're okay. We'll be okay." Remus wept, still holding onto you tightly.

"We will." You whispered, clutching onto him. Neither of you wanted to go and assess the damage done, but you knew it had to be done.

You reluctantly trudged off in the direction of the Great Hall where everyone was gathered. You gathered your hand in Remus', tightly squeezing. Were you prepared for what you were about to find out? No.

You entered the Great Hall to find what seemed like millions of bodies scattered throughout. The sound of sobbing echoed ominously throughout, reeking of doom and despair. You shook your head, burying it into Remus' arm. A few tears leaked out of your eyes. You hadn't even seen the worst of it yet.

Remus' eyes scanned across the Great Hall, looking for anyone familiar.

Unfortunately, he did.

The next moments felt like a blur, unreal. So much death, so much loss. Fred, Tonks. It wasn't fair. None of this was. The tears blurred your vision, your reality slipped away as the crushing actuality of all the lost people crushed down on you. You clung to Remus for support, tears streaming freely down your face. You hadn't experienced loss like this since the first war.

You sat for the hour with everyone, mourning the losses. You could only hope that Harry would be okay, the last remnants of James and Lily. You didn't know what you'd do if you'd lost another Potter to Voldemort. You swore you'd protect Harry, but here you were, being physically with him yet feeling unable to protect him. You knew that you were no match for Voldemort, and felt powerless.

"Harry?" You called his name softly, catching his attention.

"Yeah?"

"Be careful, Harry. I love you. Remus and I love you. I wish I could've protected you more or done something more." You shook your head, looking down.

"You've done fine, don't worry. This isn't your fault, this is Voldemort's fault." Harry replied, nervously smiling at you. Remus joined in, standing next to you and putting his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"Harry, I'm so proud of what you've accomplished. You're an amazing wizard and have gone through so much. James and Lily would be proud."

"Thanks, Remus." His voice falters, attention focusing down at the ground. You saw his mind clearly racing, and your heartbeat quickened. You knew that he was tough, that he's survived many things, but you couldn't help it. You couldn't help but to just want to take him away to a place where he could enjoy life without the danger, without the stress.

But here you were, in the middle of a battle against Voldemort where Harry had been given an ultimatum.

"I have to do it. I'm going to face Voldemort and show him that I'm not a coward. I can't let all of you suffer more because of me." Your face fell, quickly being overtaken by panic.

"Harry, no. I'm sure there's a better way we can go about this I-" He cut you off.

"No, there isn't. No one else is going to die because of me, no one." He stood up, swiftly glancing around before determinedly walking off. Tears formed in your eyes, threatening to spill. Remus wrapped his arms around you in a tight embrace.

"We'll be okay, eventually, my love. Don't worry." Remus whispered in your ear, pressing a ight kiss against your earlobe.

Leaning back into his chest, you nodded subtly. You hoped so.

part 3 will happen !

This is only a fraction of the issues the world is facing. This is not to say that Muslim’s are only facing hardship, I am simply trying to raise awareness about these specific countries. This post doesn’t cover all of it. Our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Albania, Kurdistan and so many more are still suffering. ⁣These are beautiful countries that are masked by war and famine.

All I hope from each of you is that you learn something new each day. If you’re reading this right now it is likely you come from a place of privilege. Use that privilege to educate yourself and stay informed on the issues this world is facing today. ⁣
