Maybe I’m doing a lot but I don’t think it’s a lot to ask of my white friends to use their privilege and their voices and speak out a little more.

This has been going around in my head because, as the election draws closer I’m seriously worried for the outcome.

Just him running has people being loud and bold to be racist as shit and it’ll be worse if he’s actually elected.

I remember that scene in Ginny and Georgia, where Ginny walked out of her English class because of her racist ass teacher.

And Max could only see the Ginny’s outburst as rebellious and hyped it up, she wasn’t really seeing Ginny in that moment.

And Ginny said she was upset because English is her favorite subject and max is being so immature about it and asks what she wants to do. Ginny finally says ‘I don’t know Max, you’re in the class, you see it. Why do I always have to be the one to say something’

And I think about that a lot. And btw, that show is realllly good at pin pointing what being the only colored person is like in high school, so much that happens in that show with Ginny I relate to so well.

And the best thing about this example is that, Max is a lesbian. But she only sees things from her pov she doesn’t look at anyone elses because she doesn’t care to. But she’s also a deeply caring person, and she starts to learn how to really see the people she cares about.

I usually try not to let the shit the media says get to me but I swear it’s harder and harder to ignore everyday and especially when there possibility of it becoming more than just seeing in the media. When ppl start to get more even more bold and take it to the streets.

Racism has always been around, but yeah I’m scared of how much worse it’s going to get. So when I think about that, I really don’t want my white friends to just sit idly by while we get insulted everyday. I want them to be as angry as I am. I wanna trust that when someone is being racist towards me, you’re not gonna try and tell me I’m overreacting. You’re not gonna try and appease them. You’re not gonna be afraid to speak out.

Guys okay I understand that not everyone was satisfied with the finale. And I get it

What we saw is the final outcome of what Marvel was willing to show and what the writers wanted to tell. It definitely felt like some scenes were cut and purposefully restructured because they needed to establish Wiccan in the MCU.

And yes it sucks that Agatha and Rio didn’t get a proper backstory but it is still HUGE progress for a marvel show. Marvel is a an enormous conglomerate that has so much influence worldwide in setting conventions and establishing norms. This isn’t an indie film where the writers and directors have much more control over the story and how to tell it. This is a mega corporation and they put lesbians on screen!

With every new episode I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, for them to brush off the relationship or to just abandon the storyline. But they didn’t! What’s more they did not allow for any dismissal of their relationship. They show us in their interactions, in other characters flat out saying it’s an established relationship and an on screen kiss that they are romantically involved. You can’t deny that they’re together and it’s a big step forward.

So even if I’m not completely satisfied with the ending I will be a forever fan. I want more stories with queer people in them instead of stories about being queer. I want nuanced and compelling stories led by LGBTQ+ people where their identity isn’t the obstacle but a part of who they are.

Listen I don’t know how to articulate this in an eloquent way but remember that part in sunflower vol. 6 “I dont want to make you feel bad, but I've been trying hard not to talk to you”? It’s like he’s saying I’m trying to protect your solitude but it’s hard, first of all because it’s not something you just know. You have to learn how to create a space where two people in a relationship still feel like they’re their own person, if that makes any sense.

Secondly, because it is a contradiction, if you think about it. Being a couple, being in a couple automatically deletes your solitude state, unless you seek for it, unless you ask for it.

Third, it creates uncertainty when you’re young and in love and you have all these feelings inside your chest they might as well just explode out of your lungs, you want them, you want to be with them (let me inside, wish I could get to know you) and it doesn’t matter how many years have passed since you first got together. There will always be this perpetual urge of belonging to someone that pushes you to just be around each other all the time, to know what’s happening, to worry about them and to take care of them. It makes you paranoid and insecure to know they asked you to wait for when they’re ready to not be alone anymore. It takes a lot of patience and growth and trust to just let them be and live on their own, you know? It’s probably the most selfless act of them all, even when that’s not what you would want (my eyes want you more than a melody, I couldn’t want you any more/I don’t want to be alone in golden).

And I could go on and on and on about how well this concept fits his entire discography.

I could mention Satellite’s «You got a new life, Am I bothering you? Do you wanna talk? Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in. I can see you're lonely down there. Don't you know that I am right here?».

Or Daylight’s «you got me cursing the daylight»

Or Canyon Moon’s «I’ll be gone too long from you»

Do I have to mention Adore you? ALL OF IT? Alright, I will: «You don't have to say you love me. You don't have to say nothing You don't have to say you're mine, honey. I'd walk through fire for you, Just let me adore you»

In conclusion, loving him is the antidote, solitude included.

[Such a huge development from Sweet creature’s «I always think about you and how we don't speak enough» by the way]

While I still don't think the show has done enough to show why the world despises and fears male channelers (since it really should've been embedded into the world building, so far we only know that the Aes Sedai hate and fear them) and it does kinda lessen the impact of the narrative that none of the EF5 had at least an initial gut reaction to Rand being able to channel. I do wonder how they're gonna handle that topic moving forward, cause it kinda has to be addressed now that Rand is actively channeling. I could see it being expanded more deeply as Rand's madness progresses/tie it into his arc.

the show has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that Male Channelers Are Considered Bad News By All. it IS embedded into the worldbuilding. was the king saying that logain's gone mad and trying to kill him not enough for you? was the people of tar valon jeering and throwing fruit at him not enough for you? was rand and mat saying "hey if i'm a male channeler please kill me" not enough for you? was rand's terror the second he realized selene saw him channel not enough for you? was selene's act of how a normal person would react to finding out her boyfriend can channel not enough for you? was his heartbroken yet unsurprised reaction to her rejection not enough for you? was the whole backstory of a male channeler causing the apocalypse not enough for you? do you think that show-onlys are completely incapable of putting all these pieces together along with aes sedai treatment of male channelers and coming to the conclusion that male channelers are probably not very popular with most people and it's going to be very tough for rand that he is one?

literally what else should they have done that would make sense within the very small world and very early story of the first 2 seasons/3 books that they didn't already do? shown emond's fielders sitting around the dinner table talking about how much they hate and fear male channelers when none of them has ever met one and thus it's not relevant to their lives? wasted time doing a whole sidequest for rand in s2 where his abilities are discovered by some Average Citizens and they react badly? shit all over show!mat's characterization and given him a negative reaction to rand in s2 that would not make sense for his current show headspace, just for the sake of furthering rand's randpain? i'm sick of the rand stans who act like rand is the only character who matters and mat's characterization should be sacrificed just so we can go "oh poor rand uwu even his own best friend is mean to him". portraying mat in 2x06 as the sort of person who bullies and kicks his best friend while he's down would've been beneficial because......? what is so wrong with the show making the ef5 feel like mutually loyal friends instead of "rand is the best and most loyal friend in the world but the rest are little shits who abandon him as soon as the going gets tough"? seeing as in the books, mat continues to be an extremely loyal friend to rand throughout the series but most readers are too stupid to see through his unreliable narration and realize he doesn't mean it when he says that rand channeling is like him eating babies, i'm not surprised the show decided to simplify things in order to convey the true heart of mat's character (loyal and caring friend to rand) in a more obvious manner.

and i guarantee you that no show-only is going "oh, it's only aes sedai who have a problem with male channelers, everyone else thinks they're cool". that's not happening. show-onlys are not stupid, and they understand that male channelers are considered bad news by all; or maybe they haven't thought much yet about how male channelers are viewed by the average public, but in future seasons once we see rand getting shit from the average public, they are not going to be surprised or confused or go "but i thought it was only aes sedai who had a problem with them and everyone else thinks they're cool?", they're going to go "oh, well we've seen how much aes sedai hate them, so it makes sense that everyone else does too". stop. think for 2 seconds about "have i actually seen a large number* of show-onlys misunderstanding X and/or do i think it's plausible that a large number of show-onlys would be likely to misunderstand X, or do show-onlys have enough context clues to figure out X for themselves or to be unsurprised when X is expanded on and made more explicit in future seasons and i'm working myself up into a state over a non-issue?"

*there are always going to be a handful of people incapable of critical thinking who willfully misunderstand what the show is showing us, just like there are readers like that with the books, hence unless a LARGE number of general-population show-onlys are misunderstanding X, as opposed to just 20 idiots on twitter, i do not consider it a failure by the show in portraying X.

i think when cherik fuck charles just has to control himself so much that he reaches the point where he gets almost no pleasure because of the efforts and erik just doesn't see that for a long time bc charles is very good at simulating whatever it is so they fuck and erik is happy and cherles is close to tears every time because yeah he had sex but he spent all time of it struggling to remain control of his abilities and he didn't have orgasm and he just doesn't know what to do because he's afraid to tell erik and he's afraid to stop doing that because he thinks he'd project his thoughts and feeling all over the mansion and he's afraid to go on the way he does because it's exhausting and kinda awful

sorry im in the mood for angsty thoughts about charles's telepathy sorry
