Pls pls PLEASE tell us more about your prince sniper au!! I’m already obsessed bc him and scout look so handsome🥺
I’m happy to explain!

Okay some background information:
So it starts with the moment when Bill-Bel gets into an argument with the original (mostly white) ministers of New Zealand about how even though he, a Māori man, saved all of New Zealand from “magma and nuclear war” they refuse to let him join the council and make him a minister.
They tell him because they’re sick of living down there and that’s he’s not worthy of being on there.
In his frustration, he manages to rally up the Māori iwi (tribes) of New Zealand and many of the white New Zealanders, into making him into the king.

He changes everything once he’s in control. The white New Zealanders or Pākehā get sent off to live in their own space within Aotearoa and the Māori get to having the majority their land back.
The next 29 years is quite peaceful, the local nature and wildlife grow in population back to pre colonial times and so does the Māori people. They bring back old ways of life and traditions along with more high tech gadgets (because canonically New Zealand in tf2 was made of extremely smart people).
And now onto the Sniper and Scout part of your question:
And then coming Sniper or I should rather say Mun-Dee Taumata.
He’s next in line and has only really ever known of being a Royal and living like the way he does, in a giant palace with guards always protecting him making him extremely sheltered and honestly very calm person.
He isn’t allowed to go out alone, but Mum-Dee finds his ways, always sneaking out to visit his kiwi, who’s named after the Māori goddess of loyalty Hinekepea, in his family’s Royal Aviary. She tries to protect him and gets angry whenever he comes back smelling like one of the ladies that Bill-Bel set him up with.
Oh, I should mention that the minute he turned 18; Bill-Bel was trying to get him wife so he could make an heir (no matter how many times Mun-Dee explained he was gay)
Then in the summer of 1972, out appears Mann Co. reps (All of RED Team + Miss Pauling and Mr. Bidwell) to try to make an agreement with the Aotearoa government on if they can used some of the Australium they own.
They didn’t know of the change of the government and when they arrived they were shocked to say the least. Scout especially.
The Māori people held a welcoming ceremony or a pōwhiri for the first ever manuhiri (visitors) to their home in 40 years with gifts, dance, music food, and of course, get a personal welcome from the Royal family. Mun-Dee had been extremely excited, and when he was about to do a hongi (which is we’re you touch noses together and do a handshake in welcome) with Scout, he slapped him.
It was a misunderstanding, Scout thought Mun-Dee was going to kiss him so he did some unnecessary self defense.
And that was the exact moment Mun-Dee got his first ever real crush on anyone.


And they eventually get together, Spy tries to blackmail Scout into marrying him quickly so that if Bill-Bel died mysteriously; Scout can be married to a king for political reasons. Scout just wanted Mun-Dee for who he was.
Scout meets Hinekapea and she almost kills him, more like jumped onto his back when he had been trying to make out with Mun-Dee. He leapt off and as soon as he was off of him, Hinekapea got onto Mub-Dee’s chest and made some angry sneezes at him. Mun-Dee had just thought it was cute and apologized to her for bringing Scout without warning.
Here’s a lil comic for when Hinekapea, after having a specialized kiwi home (like a catio almost) put in Mun-Dee’s room so he could always see her, treats Scout:



#tf2#team fortess 2#tf2 Sniper#tf2 scout#scout tf2#sniper tf2#sniper x scout#sniperscout#speeding bullet#tf2 au#my art#māori sniper#I REALLY LOVE THIS AU#if you can’t tell#I did a lot of research for this whole au and I feel quite confident about it#there’s no rocket in this universe so no drowned New Zealand#sniper in this au is just a lil pathetic politican/prince who has a fat gay crush on the first man who treated him like he wasn’t fragile

sorry to my system friends, I don't want to step on your toes while I'm going through this
I want to make it clear that even if I am not a system my support is still totally unconditional because whether it personally "impacts" me or not has nothing to do with it
#also me wanting to support systems is a thing that like. has always been there. these thoughts are more recent#im saying things weird but ig i mean Even If I Am Not One Of You (which is probably the case) I Am Still Supportive.#i don't wanna be that. fuckin old ass politican who campaigns against gay rights until their kid comes out yk?#also also i don't want to make your struggles seem tiny while i'm struggling rn. if. that makes sense#idk idk i can't think clearly right now#it feels like i'm lowering the importance of the problems you face by comparing my dissociation to it i think. is what i mean.#ugh god i sound like some stupid fuckin. bullshit person who Totally Supports Causes rn

vikings modern!au except its the lothbrok divorce drama in the second round. this time everything is highly televised and constantly failing politican and business owner ragnar lothbrok gets a sextape leaked (its him and his rival ecbert) (both of them are running for the same post)
this causes his children to spiral, which means athelstan is taking care of them, but its kind of a stressful job bc hes also so preoccupied vacuuming up ragnars cocaine before hvitserk can accidentally eat it (this has hapepned before). aslaug is on a lesbian vampire retreat somewhere in the scottish highlands btw with her three new gfs because she naturally returned to the polycule lifestyle immediately post divorce.
lagertha is currently busy getting bjorn into a uni he doesnt have the grades for by wiring herself hte money for a library building from ragnar's account (she naturally still has all his passwords and theyre all gydas birthday) (gydas still dead btw she had cancer with was super tragic but also ragnar definitely brings it up in all of his campaigns) (rip)
athelstan's also sweating balls taking care of ivar bc ivar is literally runnign a mlm in his school and also selling webinars on telegram or somtehing. ubbe has three breakdowns per hour over masculinity and his trauma but also hes bringing home margrethe, which means that athelstan constatnly just rhows protection his way (hes not gay freidns with ragnar for nothing)
the only person enjoying this is sigurd, who is SO sick of being called a nepo baby and conveniently forgets that his mother is a retired super model and rockstar.
@levithestripper this is what my blog is going to become now

The similarities between closeted right-wingers and Chris Evans
Alternative title: "Dear Mr. future president Evans,"
Recently, I saw how Chris Evans met Joe Biden. For people who don't know. Chris Evans has a political online platform called ASP. This was not the first time he met a famous politican but meeting the president of the United States is something else. It should be clear by now why he does that... Anyway, it reminded me of the gossip I found recently:
As I mentioned in my last big blog post, about Chris' potential boyfriends, I am not really a fan of marvel and didn't know much about him during his time as Captain America. I only got interested after he started the cringeworthy PR relationship in November 2022. In 2018, I was made aware of how many closeted celebrities exist and Mr. Evans being so clumsy with his Portugal bride gave me the perfect opportunity to uncover this Hollywood facade.
As you can see, I have also been asked by a lot of people why I think Chris could be closeted (either gay, bi or a straight guy who doesn't want to commit and just sleeps around). I will answer these questions in relation to today's topics: I. The Portugal PR relationship is mostly done for his future political career (or that was the plan before the backlash) II. The behavior of closeted right-wingers resembles Chris Evans' III. Portugal Bride was not the first PR relationship rumor but why does a rich, attractive and alleged womanizer like Chris need PR relationships all the time? As I always say. Everything on my tumblr is alleged. I merely summarize what people speculate online and give my own opinion on that.
Tim Scott, a failed GOP 2024 candidate and alleged closeted gay man, announced on X that he got engaged to a woman:
As you can see from the screenshot, no one's buying it. It is rumored Tim Scott is doing this because he will be chosen as Trump's vice president. People online claim that Tim Scott being gay has been talked about way before the first "Why doesn't have Tim Scott have a girlfriend" articles:
I heard about Tim Scott being gay and being pressured to have a PR girlfriend around the same time Chris pretended to have gotten married in September and that made me think... I can't find the comment anymore but I remember someone of Chris' fans on the LSA forum suggesting that Chris' "A starting point" political platform isn't just for shits and giggles. Apparently, he wants to go into politics after his acting career. No idea how successful he will be now with that after his latest movie flops and the Portugal relationship having led to lost followers on his social media accounts because it made him appear as a "dollar store Leonardo DiCaprio" but in general..., this idea isn't too far off. Remember the Terminator aka Arnold Schwarzenegger? An action hero became the Governor of California and with Chris Evan's fake Captain America image, pretending online and in interviews to be like Steve Rogers, he could sway a lot of people too!
Remember. The alleged marriage wasn't the first PR relationship of Chris Evans. At least according to his fandom, when they explained how he and Portugal Bride met, he was involved in several other PR relationships before:

According to this person, the relationships with Christina Ricci and Minka Kelly from long ago, were planned by a PR team too and it adds up with a blog post I found years ago about how Minka is allegedly a beard for my back then favorite actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Bearding appears to be a career of its own in Hollywood: https://gaywriter.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/blind-item-jake-gyllenhaal-is-looking-for-a-new-female-beard-to-present-illusion-of-heterosexuality-to-fans/

So his PR team not only allegedly had several options next to the Portugal Bride (like Monica Barbaro) but they were apparently also responsible for his faked relationship with Lily James? It is rumored that Lily wanted more from this PR arrangement from back in 2020. Possibly real love? The social media site Icons+ reports that "Lily James left Chris Evans to be a millionaire's "other woman"". She basically publicly "cheated" on Chris and many gossip sites reported on it. Did Lily do that as revenge because Chris solely wanted PR and rejected her? Kinda like "if you don't give me real love, I ain't giving you positive PR either". It makes me wonder though. Why would a heterosexual man privately reject a pretty woman like Lily James after wanting to be seen with her in paparazzi photographs after all? Odd.

Yes, Chris' alleged personal Paparazzo with the name Jesal basically admitted that he was called to do the pictures with Lily back in 2020 (Nowadays, he seems to be busy with the Portugal PR relationship as you can see from the screenshot, where he was called for a christmas party Portugal Bride and Chris attended). This reminds me of of another failed 2024 GOP candidate who is rumored to be closeted. There is a medium article regarding Ron DeSantis called "Is the GOP gossiping that Ron DeSantis is gay?", how most if not all of the GOP party know about his alleged homosexualty:
As you can see, not just his own party but the general public thinks so too. In fact, they speak about Ron DeSantis' being closeted the same way some people speak about Chris being allegedly closeted:

The replies to this dailymail article about Chris' and Portugal Bride's relationship-reveal, demonstrate that people think that both Chris and Ron overplay the alpha male macho tough guy image, solely to cover their true sexual orientation.
But PR relationships can also have another function. As I pointed out on my blog before: There are many heterosexual men I know who just wanted to sleep around but because of societal pressure, they pretend to be monogamous. The latest political example of that seems to be Gavin Newsom who has been in the news for being an alleged serial cheater. He was already caught cheating back in 2007. On X I found this summary of his latest shenanigans: (TRIGGER WARNING: mention of SA)

Why do I mention Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom in relation to Chris Evans? Because they all have one thing in common. A fake stable married man image. Look at the header picture of DeSantis and Newsom on X. Newsom holding his son in his harm. A few weeks ago, DeSantis had a header picture of holding his children's hands and the latest picture, you can see right now, also shows his wife and kids again to portray the family man image while allegedly being someone completely different (a closet case = Ron, a cheater= Gavin). Sorry not sorry but when I saw those header images combined with the rumors I knew about those two guys, I immediately though that Chris is not so different. He also calls the paparazzi, so he can be portrayed for the public as a guy who has a stable relationship and doesn't randomly sleep around in all kids of places.
As someone pointed out on the Lipstick Alley thread called "Chris Evans Relationship Theories 5", he used to go to parties similar to the ones seen in the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" but these rumors were allegedly scrapped by his team when he became Captain America. Why did they worry so much about this specific gossip? Was it true after all? Apparently this goes back as far as 2006:
I have no problems with that because I am pro sexual liberation. I actually point this out so we can normalize this and let people be who they really are, so that they don't have to do these fake relationships anymore.
I mean, remember the screenshot from my "Chris Evans possible boyfriends" post? The user ShellyT20... how she described that a lot of PR relationships in Hollywood exist because the male actors either sleep with each other, have p-word scandals and/or are serial cheaters "but post fake romance stuff on IG and other public platforms. It gives a fake sense of normalcy and stability and shuts fans up for the most part as well as acting as a distraction." When I read this I got reminded of the public "beyond the blinds podcast" episode you can listen to on spotify. The one about the Hemsworth brothers. There it was alleged that Chris Hemsworth is constantly cheating. I wasn't surprised. He isn't my type but I can't deny that he is what most consider super attractive + tall + rich = in no way is this guy monogamous as a famous hollywood actor (LMAO the audactiy to even thinkt hat)... Sadly, when I confront some people with that... for instance Evans fans on LSA or X, most roll their eyes and don't believe that.... They were like: "How can a guy like C. Hemsworth, who posts social media posts about loving being a father and being married for over a decade possibly be such a bad guy"... ... ... ... ... Well and this the reason why Hollywood still fools you with PR relationships because most of you are gullible. You want to see men married with children and as long as the women are age appropriate, you eat it up. And all this goes even beyond these Hollywood celebrities and politicians the general public is aware of. Apparently, even e-celebs are in PR relationships/fake image relationships these days. The youtuber TheQuartering, who said he was partying with right-wing e-celebs said this about them last year: (TRIGGER WARNING: transphobic slur)

Just like how Chris Evan's fans are disappointed that he wasn't the internet boyfriend after all (his fake image for the 2010s) and started to date random young women like Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper, TheQuartering was disappointed too with his right-wing colleagues, who pretended to be committed husbands with children while actually being a closeted pride parade. The right-wing commentarors TheQuartering talks about are: Elijah Schaffer, Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich. When I found that out I was shocked. I was like "So even these e-celebs are basically "their own Hollywood club" and need PR relationships to function publicly". It really shows how deep gender roles are still ingrained in our society. That even internet-famous people have to have a family man image and portray themselves in a certain way to become "e-celeb-A-list". And if they don't, they will be denied that status.

I know it hurts that your favorite A-list stars are also wife cheaters and that their activism is most likely fake only so that they can continue participating in Hollywood orgies (Which apparently already happen on the e-celeb level). But at one point it had to come out and isn't it better to accept reality than to participate in and support these fake scenarios only to feel better about the world? Cause it is not just TheQuartering who exposed the fake image of the right-wing online community. Blaire White, a right-winger herself, pointed out the same. As people say, where there is smoke, there is fire:
youtube
In this video at 55:35 regarding Blaze Media, Blaire White spills tea about closeted e-celebs. It also includes orgies and drugs... like with our favorite super hero (allegedly).


(Blaire is not the only one who knows about the orgy parties)
Lastly, one of the most famous right-wing e-celebs is Steven Crowder. On his channel he had a video where he once admitted that he had a bisexual phase... a phase..
And according to his own logic that means:

youtube
He also went so far and basically created beard twins. I remember clearly the video where he announced the pregnancy of his wife. He held up a picture into the camera from an ultrasound. It was like "See, I am hetero after all. Are you happy now?". That's at least my opinion on how the video looked like and it adds up with what peole usually say about him:

Honestly, if someone had told me that this text is about Chris Evans, I'd have believed it and so now we have come full circle. While I only know about Chris Evan's since the pandemic (As I said, I don't watch super hero movies), I am still disappointed. In some interviews, he appeared so adorable, awkward and different from other men in Hollywood (like when he was interviewed about his "Lightyear movie announcement" tweet on Jimmy Kimmel). But in the end he is no better than the closeted republicans. Portraying a conservative image of marriage while behind closed doors it is worse than a sitcom trying to convince you that canned laughter makes everything funnier.

(picture: Is this the awkwardness people talk about? Adorable...)
Yes, there have always been rumors that his real personality is being "weird and awkward" and that he is not just acting in movies but also in most interviews. It goes so far that someone claimed he had been rejected on a date and that's why some people assume it is actually him who initiated the Portugal PR relationship and basically paid for it because he can't get someone himself through normal means. Are some people punished with their good looks?

IMO just like with the married right-wing e-celebs who do orgies all the time, it is also a bad idea of Chris wanting to become a father (at least according to his "sexiest man alive" PR narrative from 2022 which seems to be in the trash can now too).
But let's assume his PR team has that still on their minds: Not only would it be solely for his image (which would make this situation PR either way, even if the marriage were real) but according to all his alleged wild ways, he is also unfit to parent, it would be a disaster actually. Controversial commentator Pearl Davis described it very well. How some people just shouldn't be parents:

I agree with Vale. She would just be in it for the image of being a married woman and in our case... a married, monogamous, non-cheating family man. A user on LSA said that when you switch out "fake nails" with "fake teeth" in Pearl Davis' message, you will have the pefect description of Chris Evans:

(Chris Evans being interviewed at the Lightyear premiere resembling Barry Manilow with too much botox) Sorry but after seeing this picture, I have to agree with her. I love his clothing style but a bi-peacock who is more interested in vanity and fake status will never be a good role model for children. As the saying goes: "You can't have it both ways"
I know this is all a tough pill to swallow but c'mon people. This is the year 2024 and at one point this fakeness just needs to stop. Celebrities, politicians and even social meda e-celebs... you are being fooled. And according to Hollywood insider and daughter of famous TV personality John Walsh, a lot of times, one partner of the arrangement is suffering. Is this really what you support? I don't and that's why I uncover all these PR relationships of the entertainment world because as a true progressive, I don't think that people should be judged based on outdated gender expectations like marriage and monogamy.

The closet kills... your real personality. I mean honestly, what do you gain from being remembered after your death as someone you never were? As Joan Rivers jokes at 0:43 in a short clip from 1966. This so called bearding has been going on forever. I don't think we need a 100th anniversary of this shameful practice. So please help me to expose this so that in the future, celebrities can become famous for truly being themselves.

I just heard that there are people planning to protest during 4 May against Israel. As a Dutch woman of Roma heritage, I AM FUMING. To those who don't know: 4 May is national memorial day in the Netherlands where we remember those who died during WWII. Whilst I find you anti-semitic fucks who are villifying every Jew in existence for what's currently happening in Israel to be awful - targeting 4 May when that day is for EVERY minority hunted down during WWII means you are targeting ALL of our communities. Remember how I mentioned that during my final year of elementary school I had a hag of a teacher? I literally remember arguing with her about how the history books barely talk about us. The REAL estimated number of deaths could have been as high as 1,5 MILLION Roma unlike the reported '400K' you'll find in your history pages. I have seen in YouTube videos from Americans and Canadians how they solely talk about the Jews and are trying to make it about black people with the unproven historic sentiment that Jewish people originally were black. I've even heard statements written out loud from American musea who only mentioned us like a footnote before talking about black people in length. Reported numbers of black people castrated/killed during WWII were a couple of thousand because that's how few black people there were in Europe. The Roma are the biggest racial group hunted down during WWII, stop trying to take that away from the potential million people that died! Give their souls the respect they deserve. How sick in the head do you have to be to be like, 'This major genocide has to be about MY race'- when the actual group hunted down for their skin and culture wasn't yours. My deadbeat dad and his sisters are more lily white looking as I always call it, but grandpa was a bit more Roma looking like me and my late grandma did make a few implied statements that it was his father who had a Romani mother. That was during WWII. My great-great grandmother likely was an elderly lady hunted down like a rat during this period. The fact my paternal family didn't had any pictures of my great-grandfather unlike his wife, worries me but it's too heavy of a subject to talk about with relatives that I have a strained relationship with. How can you make that about you? Tell me! Another one of my great-grandfathers wasn't a member of the Resistance but he did help out with food smuggling. Ever heard of the Dutch famine during WWII? My great-grandfather tried to keep regular Dutch citizens alive and was willing to stick his neck out as one of the richer families of the area to help the lesser priviliged and he was publically beaten for it by the Nazis as an example for the townsfolk. He's the only male relative I am proud of to be related to, because that was an act of bravery and generosity worthy of praise.
Not every wealthy white man is a greedy devil, my great-grandfather proved that. As much as I hate Frank Timmermans (Dutch politican), I do agree with his statement that you can protest on every fucking day of the year- just not memorial's day. This day belongs to so many non-Jews too and making this about Israel is just overshadowing the other victims once more. We haven't done anything to deserve to get erased. Yet the media, history books and non-Roma do that very thing. In my own personal experience, even the gays are mentioned more often then we are. The only group that might be more forgotten then we are, are the disabled. And as an autistic individual that also earns my ire.
I can bet my ass off that none of those sickening protesters would have been hunted down if we lived during WWII, unlike me. I have to live with that and the handful of people throughout my life who did call my blood impure. LEAVE 4 MAY ALONE!
#tetsutalk#4 may#4 mei#wwii#jews#roma#roma erasure#romani#romani erasure#israel#don't target the victims of wwii- they were more then just Jews#millions of non-Jewish people died in my country#remember the Dutch famine?

Captain America 172 (April 1974)
Steve Englehart & Mike Friedrich/Sal Buscema
Join me now on a journey to...the Secret Empire, one of the funniest comics storylines ever, in which the X-Men are lucky enough to play a part: though really, this is Captain America and the Falcon's show.
The year is 1974, the Watergate scandal is tearing apart America and destroying its trust in its politicans and institutions (again), and Marvel's Steve Englehart decides he has to reflect the state of the nation in a Captain America storyline. And boy does he. This has been building for some time, actually across several Marvel titles, but the X-Men show up for the ride in the final climactic few issues of Captain America, when Cap and Falcon piece together a series of clues that lead them to Nashville (which, as we all know, has a museum with a moonrock).
But they're incognito, undercover, fearing that their own government is out to get them: so how do they make it to Nashville? The gay way, that's how.
I'm not trying to be cheaply homophobic but these panels are insanely gay. This trucker is a fucking Tom of Finland character, man. Once they make it to Nashville, though, the plot takes a turn when we see someone we (happily, to be honest) haven't seen for a long time.
It's Banshee, in town to see Merle Haggard! Obviously! I guess there's country music stuff in here because this is meant to be a state-of-the-union, soul-of-the-nation plotline but it's really just fucking bonkers that the plot so far is jettisoned for a coincidental encounter with an annoying second-string X-Man who hadn't been seen in comics for several years at this point.
I can't stand Banshee: his weird Mad magazine caricature face, his awful costume, his begorrah-bejesus way of talking, although I am forced to admit that he has good taste in music. Thankfully he isn't actually around for long before some proper X-Men show up and he scarpers.
Hooray! The real X-Men! Most of them, at least! They're back, and they're here to help Captain America kill Richard Nixon!
You think I'm joking, don't you?

Who is Francis Bacon? I saw Nick and Tony commenting "Good riddance" and "I never liked him" under a post mentioning him. Was he disliked by George and James? Google didn’t tell me much about him.
FRANCIS BACON!!! I love James and all, but in the long span of history, Francis Bacon is probably more important than James or George Villiers.
When Francis Bacon shows up in period dramas, he's usually depicted as a slimy politician. And it's not like he's slime-free, that's inherent to being a politican. However, what really makes him important is that he was a copious writer who enormously influenced the development of science. I'm gonna do my best to simplify the explanation so please excuse the broad brush.
At the time he arose, the dominant method of knowledge-formation was scholasticism, or the study and analysis of authoritative texts such as Aristotle, the Bible, etc., and the use of deductive reasoning to extrapolate from established facts and to resolve apparent contradictions between the ancient philosophers and Christianity. Bacon advocated essentially the opposite: not to rely upon authorities of the past (as after all, cracks were already starting to show, e.g. Copernicanism) but to actually observe the natural world and use inductive reasoning, generalizing from observations, to come to conclusions about the natural world. This is the foundation of modern science.
This radical proposal was the seed for the great flourishing of science in the 17th-18th centuries. The explosion of learning of the Royal Society - which has as its motto, nullius in verba, "take nobody's word for it" - is due to influence from Bacon. Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hobbes, Locke, Voltaire, were all influenced by Bacon. This idea that Bacon put forward was such an incredibly powerful weapon for forming new ways of knowing and dismantling old beliefs, that I'm not sure there's another single person who is more responsible for the Enlightenment (other than Descartes, but he was later).
Bacon's political career, though, was rocky, and he was eventually disgraced after a corruption trial. Many historians say that George Villiers threw Bacon under the bus to avoid attention paid to his own corruption, and James allowed this to happen to save George. So I'm a bit sad to hear the actors say that but it also makes sense.
The (somewhat questionable) story is that Bacon died after catching pneumonia due to wandering around in the cold stuffing a chicken with snow in an experiment to see if that would effectively preserve the meat.
Also, Francis Bacon was gay.

#SERIOUSPOST
I feel like an issue that most queer people experience at some point in their lives, regarding their own queerness, it's a certain amount of sense of guilt. In my personal experience, i got to admit i've always experienced a special kind of guiltiness: the knowledge that my presence itself became a danger.
When i found out i was lesbian, yeah, i was a bit afraid because i made a few researches and found a lot of stories of queer people who were beaten or even worse, in my country.
But you know when this sense of guilt actually kicked in? When i got with my girlfriend.
Because i realised then, that i was not just putting me in jeopardy on a daily basis, but also and especially putting her in jeopardy. I love her so much, and knowing that being with me is literally one of the most dangerous situations she could ever find herself into, makes me kinda want to vomit.
I mean, she's also black, therefore racism is an issue, too. But it is extremely unlikely - in Italy, at least - for a black person to be subject to physical damage because they are part of an interracial couple (where i come from, racism is displayed in different, and more "sublte" ways). On the other hand, gay couples being harrassed and/or physically attacked, it's an everyday thing.
I think about this a lot...especially when we are walking together, holding hands. When i see people giving us grim looks, i get super nervous, because i often think: "oh no, this might be the moment when somebody will feel so offended to see two women holding hands, that they will decide to do something about it". Like, this might be our turn. This time might be our fucking turn, and if something bad happens to my girlfriend, it will be because of me. To add insult to injury, our government is right-wing, extremely right-wing (some politicans openly call themselves "fascists"), and extremely homophobic, as you can expect from that kind of parties. Thanks to them, and thanks to the people who voted for them - which are a lot, if you google it- our situation has gotten a lot worse and scarier.
I know i should not complain, because there are countries out there where my fellow queers get sentenced to death just for existing, and i could say i'm lucky if i compare my situation to theirs. And yet, i can't get over the thought that, one day, something really bad may happen to me and especially to my gf, and i won't have nobody to blame except for myself and myself only.
At the end of the day, i feel like it's a matter of probability, isn't it? Things can go smooth for a certain amount of days, but, with every day that goes smooth, the odds that the next day will be as smooth go down.
Y'all, i don't mean to scare you, i just wanted to share it.

Power Play: Caleb/Liam
@sunshinexstardust
The Pit. An underground night club in the depths of Gotham City. It wasn't just any nightclub. It was the biggest sex club in all of Gotham. Not just any sex, gay sex. The pit was known for hosting the hottest gay sex parties in all of Gotham. Politicans, police men, lawyers, doctors, they all have come to the pit in secret, and many of them are secret patrons of the club. Gay sex, all night, no limits, all fun. The money was piling up, the booze was flowing and the sex couldn't be hotter. This man the owner of this establishment very happy.
He was a baby faced young man, barely eighteen. Not only was he the owner of this establishment. He was one of the most feared criminal mob bosses in all of Gotham. His name was Cherub, his street name anyway, named so after his baby face features. Because of that, the young man worked harder than any of his colleagues to be exceptionally ruthless. Caleb has an impressive body count under him and a huge rap sheet of his very own, all hiding behind that sweet baby face. Caleb may be young, and he may not look it, but he is a serious threat. He has no problem in taking out those who disrespect him, and he enjoys it too. However, putting his reputation aside, tonight, he's just a man looking to party, and he just so happened to find his new target.
He was a newbie. Caleb had never seen him before. He would have remembered a face like that. Tall, incredibly handsome, bright blue eyes, and a smile that could send armies to war. This stranger carried a man's beauty so well, and Caleb couldn't take his eyes off him. He watched from afar, and he could see that others were interested, so he acted fast. Giving the bar tender his special que, the stranger was ordered a drink and the bar tender told him that it came from the owner. Toasting the stranger from afar, he gave the new comer a wink. He was ready to have some fun.

vote or dont vote, we will be in this exact position in 4 years with ppl saying the same shit.
every election is the end of the world, every politician pushes us farther right, and our lives continue to get matierially worse. black folks lives are disregarded and their bodies are used and abused by the state as free, expendable labour. white society will continue to leech off black society while keeping them poor, imprisoned, addicted, and struggling. women are traded from man to man like playing cards, and arent given any meaningful control over their lives. trans and gay lives are demonized and excluded from society, treated like criminals just for living. rents and prices increase while wages stagnate. its all the fucking same.
voting is not going to change this shit bc the politicans dont actually care. if they wanna get to the point where they could be elected as president they CANT care, bc in order to become president you must be a capitalist, the system ensures this.
kamala may not be "as bad" as trump but she is by no means "good" for this country. the genocide will continue no matter who is in power. the pain will continue, the homelessness and hunger will continue. the death of countless palestinian children will continue. the american people have made it overwhelming clear how we feel about whats going on and they dont care. they will never care.
the only course of action is to take things into our own hands. the government has failed us and it will continue to fail until its kills us all.

What is comedy anymore? What is social anymore? Our entire world is a slurry shoved down our throats and we're the goose dying in the process. I grew up believing the world was getting better but I think it was just the heat stroke clouding my mind. Now as an adult it feels both better and worse. I have my X gender marker while the future president wants to legally kill me. Gay people have the legal right to get married before they're brutally shot. There's so much diversity in the advertisements to sell you shit while the cops are a legalized gang set out to target racial minorities. Buying products means you get to choose between truly local (way too expensive for you to afford), made in china (horrible working conditions, sweatshops), or made in america (prison labor, legalized slavery). No one can afford anything anymore. Comedy is meaningless because I can't afford to laugh. Tik tok is filled with people desperate to spill their guts to an algorithum because the only hope the younger generation has been sold is the golden ticket of internet fame. If you can do something worthy enough of attention maybe you too can claw your way out of the rat king of this drowning generation and have the dream of owning a home and feeling safe for once in your life. And what would someone be willing to do to get that? I mean, Mr.Beast already made his own literal squid game the world is just a parody of itself. I wonder when Amazon will start selling rose colored glasses in every size. Well first they'd need to buy out every local seller just to ultimately drive up the prices so they can milk every dollar out of your body. Capitalism is a disease. It spreads and spreads and there is no end to it's hunger. It covered the earth, and now it's crawling inside your mind and getting comfortable in every corner. Every person is another thing to colonize. If money were sentient they would be the real rulers of this earth. Forcing humans to work until they die just to breed and spread. This planet is dying just to farm more. You can't be happy because joy and contentment doesn't raise engagement. I don't think I'm alone in my generation when I say that I am so fucking tired. Sleeping isn't restful anymore. You need to wake up and look at what children are dying, how you can't afford your rent, how every politican thinks you should be killed, etc.
Sometimes I think the only true choice our generation has is whose hand is holding the gun we're shot with.
