#am I selfish for needing support?

[outlandishly-explicit]

I think my heart may actually crumble out of existence if I’m not fortunate enough to experience the joy of walking through life with someone (or someones. We poly) romantically and being their priority.

I dont think most non black people actually want to face their own (personal and communal) anti blackness. Black people are not seeing enough of yall doing shit that actually matters like, cutting contact with your anti black family, giving up work promotions and giving the to black people, opening up your homes to poor/homeless black people, doing more than just casually reading vauge black leftist theory online and being "friends" with black people because you know itll boost your political capital.

I dont believe in black people giving our energy to non black people or their issues until we can give this level of support to our own communities. Most non black people do not care that we exist and the ones who do are falling short of what it means to truly be a friend and co conspirator. I dont believe in solidarity anymore, it literally cant exist if non black people do not choose to put a large organized sustained effort into combating anti blackness in their hearts, homes and communities.

I just don't understand how my mom had me, her oldest and first child, raised me for 18 years (kind of?), and then chose some guy she barely knows and is objectively terrible over me and kicked me out unexpectedly after telling me I'm no longer a part of her family and all my childhood trauma (that HER at the time husband caused) was my fault. And now she's banned me from seeing my siblings that I RAISED (because she wasn't able to at the time.), she refused to answer my phone calls or texts when I was in the hospital, terrified, crying and begging her to come help or support me because I was completely alone in the hospital in the worst pain in my life and just wanted my mom, and on top of everything, made it clear I'm not invited to family thanksgiving. I don't understand. How is she even able to do that. I don't need her, I'm an adult, but I'm still her child. I don't think I'll ever understand.

Okay, but do people not understand that some people love to spend time with the children of the people they care about?? That people can love kids who are not their own?? This whole weird fucking narrative that keeps getting spouted in this fandom about how Eddie is supposedly a bad friend because he "uses Buck as a babysitter" is so fucking obnoxious. First of all, Buck "babysitting" is not actually something we see all that often in canon at all.

But also, spending time with a kid you love while helping out a friend you love is not a fucking burden, and it is kind of infuriating that people treat it that way.

[forcedhesitation]

people will say "wooooooow astarion and/or lae'zel suck for approving of this TERRIBLE thing that I did!"

my guy. read over what you just said. remind yourself that this is a video game. are you not the one perpetrating the crime they just witnessed? each one of these characters is moulded by your choices...some more than others, some less, depending on how past experiences left their state of mind. not all of them begin with a good, or even neutral, alignment and that is good because the game would be pretty motherfucking boring if you were travelling with six characters who all shared fairly similar moral alignments and thus also shared equally similar outcomes to their storylines!

you have the ability to show the crueller, less kind companions that they do not have to be the person they were taught to be by their tormentors/traumatic experiences. you have the ability to do that, just as you have the ability to affirm their selfish and/or violent outlook on the world. just you pal, because remember! it's a fucking video game, and one of its objectives is to travel with these characters and complete their companion quests!

I absolutely 100% do not support what Israel is doing to Gaza. It is repugnant and evil and needs to be stopped immediately. But at the same time, seeing the things I’m seeing coming out of the pro-Palestine space, I don’t feel safe being in it as a Jewish person. And that’s a major fucking problem, because I know I am not the only Jewish person to feel this way. We want to help. We want to add our voices (and we have; just look at Jewish Voice For Peace, If Not Now, and B’Tselem), but we want to know we will be safe.

I’m scared even now to make this post because I know a lot of people will flood my comments and call me a Zionist and claim I don’t actually care about Gaza/Palestine when that is blatantly untrue.

[diegoshargrieves]

listening to my parents talk about me is so fucking funny. "she's dealt with us for so long that at this point she's done. she's mentally checked out from having to give a shit about anyone. can you believe how corruptible she is just because she's almost an adult and she thinks that we're not her problem anymore?"

like man you are literally so close. so fucking close.
