Tail au (part 12)

N/A: if God exists this will be short and on point.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling @bamfoftheundead @everykurt

If Amanda has to measure her own skills in persuasion, and of course, if she has to be 100% honest, she would say she is around 6 or 7 on a scale of 10. It may not sound too bad, but, right now is not enough to further Amanda´s plans.

Kitty Pryde, the fake mutant-ok, maybe not so fake as she recalls Kitty phasing through her- is now dating Lance Alvers and Amanda needs to make sure this new couple remain together forever or at least until Kurt is completely hers.

"Amanda?" one of her friends asked as Amanda is silently watching Kitty-still on the classroom as the teacher is explaining the new subject a bit bored out of her mind-and is curious as to why Amanda is not throwing insults to Kitty all day?

"Oh, hi, Amy. I was just thinking about some stuff...say, Amy, what do you know about Lance Alvers?"

"Oh...well, since you ask...I date his friend Pietro and I got stories to share" Amy seems radiant in share some gossips and Amanda is always ready to listen.

Meanwhile, Kitty is doing her best to ignore the cacophony of sounds, lately, her tail and ears are weak sauce, as they said, comparing with the mutants they saw in TV and yes, some people still think Kitty is a cosplayer.

It seems now a bit insulting. Sure, she can pass as normal, but, she´s still a mutant...isn´t her plight one many mutant faces? Aren´t they all equal?

NO, you silly cat. Her mind goes to Kurt and his furry and blue form. Not all mutants are equal.

If people think Kitty is cosplaying...what they would think if they ever see Kurt in his true form? Maybe they would scream in terror...

Would I have screamed?

What´s the difference then between me and Kurt?

She hears the bells rings and looks at her notebook and how she wrote Kurt´s name in a few pages, lately, the blue elf is on her mind a lot-making a permanent house in her thoughts- and Kitty wonders if this is all about the group of mutants, not related to the X-men, who are not-traditionally human, and are getting some fame.

(Sure, no one likes something 100% and even this group is getting some backlash, but, is minion comparing to the positive reactions the population are giving to this group. Prof X is more than pleased even if this group is not linked to the X-men)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Kurt Wagner is reading about this new group of mutants. People have lots to share about them and are amusing that some people are comparing them to the X-men. The Internet has a debate about the New group and the X-men that is for once amusing to Kurt.

Yes, GreyWolf is a fantastic telepath...who cares if she has insect antennae. She´s a hero and looks, Jean Grey is a red hair and no one is complaining here. I say Let the two telepath mutants date.

Ok, uhm...Scott won´t be happy with this. Kurt thought almost laughing and he can imagine that Jean is either teasing Scott or not happy at all people are shipping her with a stranger.

Ok, look...Cyclops is not a real cyclops...but now we have a real Cyclops! Dude, the possibilities are endless. Do they now have vision 20/20 or more?

And Kurt wonders why Scott pick the name Cyclops as his moniker. In fact, Kurt knows very little about Scott. Only a few basic things the young man shares seldom. He lost his parents at a young age and his brother is missing...

Damn, I know next to nothing about Scott and I´m here almost a year. Kurt then vows to know Scott a bit more at least to know why he picks the name Cyclops for himself.

Dude, my dude...they have a good looking teleport!

Yeah...but, he looks a bit strange.

No, he is hot. You´re just blind.

Are you saying you would fuck a teleporter like that?

Yes!

Kurt feels his stomach drop at this insinuation and wonders if they know about Nightcrawler. Well, the X-men have shown up in the media a few times (Jean was wearing her silly mask at those times) but he never searches to see what people thought of his looks.

Dude, Mardoc is a sexy teleporter. Name one teleporter who is sexier than him?

Nightcrawler. Bitch

"What?" Kurt jump out of his seat and his tail is exposed, luckily for him, no one was there or no one was paying attention and is easy to hide his tail without any prying eyes. Rogue arrives as she has a sixth sense where Kurt is concerned...everyone just labels as "big sister sense" and well, Rogue can´t deny.

"What´s up? Watching hentai online?" Rogue asked joking and Kurt frowns at her. Kurt does not watch porn online...and if he did, which he would never admit, he wouldn´t watch one about tentacle sex. Again, Kurt never watched hentai in his entire life and he wants to remain with this image very much.

"No, I was ...did you know there´s a new group of mutants?" Kurt asked and Rogue just nods as if this is not a big deal. "Well, some people are really thirsty, yes Bobby taught me this expression, about this teleporter Mardoc..." and show the image of the Mardoc to Rogue who seems to see the big picture but let Kurt continues.

"I mean, they think Mardoc is hot? Not that he´s a demon from hell? When that happened...oh, now they think Nightcrawler is hotter and " Kurt swallows his own saliva for a moment. "Should I be happy about that?"

"Kurt, do you there are people who drawn anthropomorphic creatures to fuck them? In France, a dude makes a cactus sexy" and Kurt does not see the point of this and has now a bad impression of France. "My point is, people´s taste change...yes, there will be people who will want to date or even sleep with Nightcrawler, but, here is where you must ask yourself...do I want people to be with me because of my looks or for what am I?"

"That´s very wise, Rogue" and he asks. "Is like that between you and Remy?"

"We have our issues, Kurt, but none of them is related to this. I fear to hurt him and he fears I´ll leave him. We feel fear but try to pretend its not there"

"That does not seem healthy"

"It isn´t..."

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Amanda knows very well that she can´t just go at Kitty and say wonderful things about Lance to prompts her to stay with him, for once, Amanda is a good actress but not that good and second, Kitty is not that dumb to believe Amanda now wants to be her friend...which leads to her plan B.

Kitty is walking by to the school corridor with her only book when she hears some people talking about Lance Alvers. Those girls have nothing to do with Amanda and her crew.

"Yeah, from what I heard...Lance kicked out of his house because of his mutation so the Brotherhood is the only house he truly has" the first girl speaks as if confessing something. "Pietro too, but, his story seems to be more tragic"

"What about Lance?" Kitty asked and the girls' exchange looks for a moment and the second girl replied still as if sharing a secret.

"Well, Lance has no one in this world outside the Brotherhood...I heard that Melinda saw him crying in the classroom this morning"

Kitty had no clue Lance´s life was like that.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Once Kitty is out of the view, and away from the school, the two girls give a quick call to Amanda Stefson to have a nice chat about one of their many errands.

"Amanda, we did what you ask...better keep your ending of the deal!" the girls are sisters and judging by their tone...they´re are negotiators type of people.

"Ok, ok. I´ll make, don´t worry. Did Kitty believe it?"

One of them rolls her eyes. "Please, we´re good actress, Amanda, we share a very sobbing story about Lance and Kitty was almost at tears, didn´t even ask if this was real or not...why it matters to you if she stays with Lance or not?"

"It does not concern any of you, tomorrow I´ll pay my ending and we´ll continue as if nothing happened"

"Good. Night you two"

"Night"

An Example of why I don’t debate much in my comment sections on YT/Tumblr/FB/ETC. (It’s Endless) | TLDR at the End

@omg-whydidimakethisaccount

"You do know that racist people did the same thing for Black Panther right? “Innocent people are getting called racist for no reason because they didn’t like the movie!” For a while people believed it, including me. Then as time passes a lot of people started realizing that people were claiming this happened.....but no one actually sees it. And while I’m sure a few people have, the fact of the matter is that racists spread the rhetoric for a reason"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhKFv92JGqM

All throughout the comment section you see people saying “I’m black and I don’t want Ariel to change.” And black people are complaining all over the internet about it being racial pandering. Which-it-is. You just aren’t looking for it. Have you never heard of the phrase that the dumbest people are the loudest? Of course you’ll run across racists. They’re the loudest of them all. But they’re not the only ones who are upset and it isn’t “just a few.” That’s just your confirmation bias. “For a while people believed it, including me.” You think that you woke up to some new epiphany but you’re just viewing everything in extremes.

"It’s quite similar to conservatives labeling everything “sjw”. In hopes to make people’s points valid, we label them as names such as sjws or snowflakes."

You’re using the same tactics by labeling everyone racist who disagrees. Just because racist people have an issue with something doesn’t mean that everyone who has an issue with it are racists. How tf can you be mad that people exploit the phrase “sjw” when you are exploiting the word racists for the SAME REASON.

"And that’s what people did for Black Panther. The racists were very vague on what their comments were but they spread this agenda that people are being called racist left and right. That people are hunting down poor souls stating an opinion and harassing them. This of course wasn’t the case, but the power of the internet sure made it seem so. But like I said, smart people started noticing that this was not the case."

This isn’t the same as Black Panther. He is a real superhero who was originally black and his movie was very cultural. So it brought up controversy and there was a lot of racism involved. However, Ariel is a Disney character who already has a character design that people love and have been drawing for decades. Black people (yes BLACK PEOPLE) have made themselves clear. They want new original characters to represent them. Not to have their skin tone slapped on a white character for pandering and re-branding purposes only.

"And this is the case for pretty much any movie that causes stir due to race such as this. Now I’ve been on a lot of social media platforms. Reddit, tumblr, YouTube comments, twitter, etc etc. I barely see people refer a person that doesn’t like the casting a racist......w/o reason. Racists spread the lies for Black Panther because they knew they would be called out for their racists comments so they hoped that referring people who called them out as “sjws” would somehow stray away from that fact"

“w/o reason” is vague. I’m not going to take your word for it that their reasons are good because you’re the same person who said that only a few people are black and or genuinely just don’t want her character to change which is clearly false. Which I have already explained. And again with the Black Panther. Just because you didn’t see those comments for what they were during THAT particular movie, doesn’t mean that every movie that has a black character will only get criticism from racists. You have no sense nuance.

"And sadly that is going on with Halle Bailey. My friends were accused of being “sjws” for simply calling out a racist who didn’t like Black Ariel. Like I said my black friends also don’t like her but they aren’t being racist they just don’t like the actress. However when they called out an actual racist that reposted a “sea monkey” post in response to Halle’s castings they were harassed for calling a person racist over a “joke”

Your situation with your friends is just confirmation bias. That doesn’t speak for all situations. Hence me linking you the video that I sent you. Also the seamonkey thing is clearly a racist joke but that has nothing to do with my original point. You literally just said you know people who genuinely don’t want her to be black and are black themselves. But instead of being nuanced and thinking, “Oh, some people are racists and some just don’t want her to change” you take away from it, “most are racists and very few don’t want her to change.” It’s ridiculous. You’re not being objective. And why does someone have to be black to not want her to change without being racist? That’s a bigoted way of thinking within itself. 'If you’re white and you don’t like her, you’re probably racist.' No.

"Some people didn’t even know what was happening. They just saw “innocent person gets harassed because they stated an opinion” and started harassing my friends too. And like that, the Black Panther fiasco cycles it’s way back to the internet"

This isn’t the same as the Black Panther incident.

“I get it. You are a proud person. You want everyone to have a chance to state their opinion. Sad thing is, that’s not the problem here. There’s a bunch of actual racists convincing people that they should be upset over this when in reality it’s a damn movie. And sadly people fall for it. I used to be one of these people. When Scarlet Johansson plays Asian characters I followed the crowd saying “she’s a good actress, the character is an android anyways, who cares!?!?”

No? You clearly didn’t even watch my video. I stated several times then and now that I KNOW that SOME people are racist who feel that way. However, you have NO RIGHT to label EVERYONE “most likely racist” for not wanting Ariel to be black. That is a hive minded way of thinking, you can’t compare this to Black Panther because the complaints are completely different, and the point that I originally made in my video is that people are not nuanced. You are thinking in black and white. Just because I am willing to acknowledge that a LOT of people just genuinely don’t want her to change and aren’t racist doesn’t mean that I am saying that NO ONE or MANY PEOPLE aren’t racist who feel that way. I’m saying its a mixed bag of opinions and not to lump every stranger who complains about it into one big group. How the hell can you complain about people labeling everyone sjws for a conservative agenda but at the same time you are labeling everyone who isn’t black, who doesn’t like this casting choice “most likely racist.” It’s not objective at all and you aren’t any smarter from the Black Panther incident by doing this. You don’t even realize that your mistake in both of these cases is that you looked at the responses in black or white. Either ALL/MOST complaints are racist or ALL/MOST complaints are not. That is a horrible way to discern the truth of any situation. And that mentality is exactly what I was ranting about in my video.

"But then to see the same people who I’ve sided with on the Ghost of the Shell debate all of a sudden throw a fit when a Black person is casted as Ariel? I realized there is something wrong. I didn’t accuse them of being racist. Because then I would’ve been racist. So I asked myself, why are people so weird about this sort of stuff? It’s cause our society was racist from the start. We value white skills, and we can make them take over any minority movie."

“The same people.” Who are these people? Again you are lumping everyone together. It’s so ridiculous.

"But when a minority takes a traditionally “white” role even though it’s not exclusive, all hell breaks lose. I don’t find all NotMyAriel logic racist.....but a lot of them come from racist rhetorics. When you go down to their core, they are very simple in logic. And the reason they are simple is because the racists spurred out the nonsense first. People just don’t realize it"

Not only is your own logic very simple minded but you aren’t even familiar with the term “Racebending Redheads” Which has been a trend lately. For some reason redheads are just raceless as characters and can just be swapped out with a black person. They keep doing it in movies and redheads are also complaining about this more and more. There are a lot of redheads who have an issue with Ariel’s new casting choice and rightfully so.

“ I mean do you know how many “What if we made Pocahontas white” I’ve seen? Or “What about Danish culture and redhead representation?!?:” all of which Danish people and redheads don’t give a damn. But that’s why these arguments are so....silly"

Lol but redheads do give a damn. Racebending Redheads is a thing. And yeah the Danish argument may be silly but you are literally cherry picking! What the hell? Did I ever bring up Danish culture in my video? Nope. Why not address the argument that people would rather see Princess Tiana as a Jamaican Actress than a light skinned African American who is from the same culture. Why? Because her character is dark skinned. So yeah this isn’t a cultural issue which is even more of a reason why you can’t compare it to Black Panther lol.

"Anyways, sorry for commenting so much. You seem like a well rounded individual and it’s always sad to see intelligent people fall into the same trap I fell into. Basically just really dig deep into these conversations"

TL;DR

You’re so condescending though. Insinuating that “smart people” are the ones who are “seeing through all of these lies.” I don’t agree with you so by your statement I am “not smart” until I do. In other words, you’re apologizing for the wrong thing. Like I said, you’re cherry picking what to argue against and then when its something you can’t argue against you just say crap like, “I used to feel the same way. Smart people are seeing through it. Did you know x y z that is completely unrelated to any of the good points that you made? Oh and I personally experienced a b c which is also unrelated to your 20 minute video.” Those aren’t counterarguments or realizations. It’s just bs and you aren’t listening to anything that disagrees with you whereas I am reading all of this junk and responding to what YOU SAID and countering it. Not replying with a bunch of unrelated strawmans and whataboutism.

2016: The Year In Review by Matt Payton

These are my top ten lists for the year. I was going to write something about each entry, but then I got distracted by digging through the Wikileaks archive.

I decided to paste e-mails from the DNC leak that mention the titles of everything on this list. The following e-mails are what came up for each title search on the DNC server.

They keep up on a lot of pop culture so that they can use it in more innovative ways to lose elections. Let’s see what they were talking about in 2016!

THE BEST 10 ALBUMS I HEARD IN 2016

1. Kanye West The Life Of Pablo
