Hey Spy

Honest opinions on everyone on ur team?

Opinions on zhe team hm? Well...

Scout is loud and a nuisance. He has a knack for getting on everyone's nerves. Too overconfident. He is constantly asking out Miss Pauling, despite having no chance with her.

Sniper is quiet and keeps to himself. However, he goes out of his way to show he dislikes me, despite us being on zhe same team. He does not smell particularly pleasant either.

Soldier is louder zhan Scout an quite idiotic. Very... patriotic I would say. We do not get along, only because he is zhe dumbest thing on zhe planet and I am French. How he survived drinking lead water, I will never know.

Demo is not too bad. He and I do not interact often and he tends to not bother me. He is loud and a drunkard however. He and Solider cause more of a racket zhan Scout could ever dream to.

Heavy is one of zhe only team members zhat I do not have any particularly negative feelings towards. He is quiet and does not interact with me much, which I appreciate. He is smart despite zhe way he viewed. However, zhis does not mean I am fond of him, or will go out of my way to interact with him.

Engineer is one of zhe more tolerable teammates. I am not fond of the Texan, however, he is not loud or disruptive like zhe others. He and I do not like each other due to our rivalries with each other on opposite teams. I do not hate him, since he is not zhe BLU Engineer, but I most certainly do not like him.

Medic is a mad man. While, I must admit, he is a very important aspect to zhe team in terms of healing and other concepts in zhe medical field, he is out of his mind. He has a BLU Spy in his refrigerator. You can only imagine how I feel about zhat-

Pyro is... odd. It is hard to say where I stand with zhem. Zhey are not bad, but zhe BLU Pyro has left me with a considerable amount of discomfort for Pyros. Pyro is not hostile towards our team, in fact, he is rather docile, but either way he isnt someone I would stay around too long.

u can always feel however u want to feel. Its understandable that it can be frustrating, infuriating, humiliating even. But those women also deserve to know the things u know. Its always useful to remember that the institutions and systems that opress women are by and large the same for all women, and that u are affected by them just like they are, the only difference is that u know the words to describe them, and that knowledge is power. The only way women who are in anti-woman spaces and who share misogynistic biases and opinions can be liberated is if they have contact with other women who are more comfortable or more familiar with feminisms.

If a social movement is only talking between those who are already in the movement and who largely know the same things and agree with one another, that movement is not going to grow, and it is not a social movement at all. Again, we can always feel however we are feeling. I say this bc I talk a lot with women who are in misogynistic environments and who parrot and engage with misogyny themselves, and at times it is just downright degrading to have actual conversations with them, bc actual conversations also involve listening. But u gotta remember that knowing the words to name ur oppression is a luck that those women also deserve. And since a core tenant of feminism is that we are only liberated if we are all liberated, not tolerating and processing these negative feelings would mean leaving those women behind. If they ever decide that they wpuld like to learn more or leave their environment, it's good to have another woman in their life who can, if nothing, at least not let her be alone.

But yknow, each woman is different. Some arent rlly the type to have these often difficult and always tiring conversations. Which is fine. But that doesnt mean it shouldnt be done nor does it mean that someone is above talking to anti feminist or anti women women. Not that I think thats what ure saying!!! But these wre some thoughts that keep me grounded when im talking to women who are frustrating. Its always good to remember that its not those women in frustrated or angry at, its the men in their lives who coerced them into saying these things.

not to be That Feminist but. You cannot read your way out of talking to other women. Feminism is a very broad set of actions and beliefs, and it manifests in many ways, including ofc artistic and literary and academic creations, which are obvi v v important to the cause, but at its core feminism is a social movement and as such we can only grown within it if we acknowledge the inherent social aspects of it. You can and probably should read feminist essays and books and watch feminist seminars and movies and support feminist manifestations but you can only grow as a feminist in a healthy and productive way if you talk to other women, all kinda of women, not only other radical feminists or even other feminists at all, you gotta talk and listen to women of all kinds of lives and backgrounds and beliefs, even ones you disagree with or judge or are against. You don’t need to agree w them, or learn from them, or educate them, or even particularly like them. But you gotta respect them as /women/, as women who are in the same sexual class as you are, because when we're talking about feminism we're talking about women's lives and women's liberation we're talking about women. You can call it what you want, outreach, firstline work, base work, sorority, conscientization, whatever, but we need to understand that connection to other women is at heart of the movements and beliefs we choose to be in.

Hi i havent read the books post-resurrection so im kinda lost on why you dont like phase 2 val? She was easily one of my favourite characters ever, she was flawed (and the books took time to acknowledge them) and relatable and still really admirable (intelligent, brave, loyal) and i really liked her and really appreciated that she wasn’t perfect unlike every other young adult heroines. What went wrong😢😢😢😢

Okay I'm gonna put this under a cut because I very strongly dislike phase 2 val and I know it bugs people who don't feel the same, so. Dead dove dont eat

Okay so first off, phase 1 val and phase 2 val are completely different people. literally. phase 1 val was based on an ex-friend of lardo's who used to apparently be involved pretty heavily in like, editing the books and "she'd react like this" or "val wouldn't say that", and that val she was one of my favourite fictional characters from when book one came out to the release of resurrection. phase 2 val is based on his whiny little girlfriend who likes to start shit with 14yos on twitter, and you can absolutely tell she is no longer the same person. so the long story short of "what went wrong" is "the original irl val's friendship with dirty laundry ended for whatever reason and he decided to retcon her entire personality to suit his gf"

Phase 2 Val, in my opinion:

Weak, like won't even fight back when she gets jumped bc boo fucking hoo she's so awful, bitch get up already, nobody signed up for ur pity party

Whiny. So fucking whiny. All the time. And she's the POV character so it's inescapable.

"Pacifist" but in a really pathetic virtue-signalling kind of way like "Oh, I've done such terrible thiiiiiiiiiiings I'm so awfulllllllllllll look how good I'm trying to be nowwwwwwww pay attention to meeeeeeee" kind of way, it was both boring and a massive eye roll. It's a book about magic and asskicking. Kick some ass. We're here for escapism not "realistic" whining. Yes, irl she'd be a mess. As an author it's his job to strike a balance between the "realism" he wants to portray and making his readers so depressed and done with his heroine that they quit reading, and in my case, he absolutely failed.

Everything must be about her at all times. Skug is having personal problems? Fuck him, they're about her now. Everything is about how it affects her, and her feelings, and be damned to the person actually having the problem. Fucks phase 2 val cain gives about anyone except herself: 0

Bitter and jaded. Which yeah I get why but it's like jesus christ what do we get out of reading about this? It's not even good bitter and jaded where it makes you empathise or admire her strength in adversity or whatever, she's just become a really nasty person with no redeeming features that I could see. Which? Landy outright said she's based on his gf? If your boyfriend is gonna drag ur entire personality through the dirt like that and write "you" as just a collection of incredibly negative traits...yikes.

Really ungrateful about the awesome life she leads? Which bugs me bc I fucking hate mundanity and knowing that all there is to life is fucking working and bad mental health. I would kill to live her life. All she does is moan about it. Like? Quit then. Fuck off back to being a mortal if it's that bad and live the shitty life you wanted to get away from in the first place. That way we'd get no more books, and quite honestly, thank fuck for that. But anyway, she needs to pick one, stick with it, and stop complaining about whatever she chose.

The girl wallows in self pity. And if someone else isn't indulging her enough, she'll wallow harder and louder and more obviously. Yawn.

Her POV is now so depressing to read that Resurrection literally tanked my mental health. I'm not kidding. I fell off the self-harm wagon, the suicidal thoughts came back, reading her dissociating would make me dissociate, I just did not cope whatsoever. Being in her head was just like being in my head during my worst points, and I hate myself, so naturally, I hate her too. Like I get why some people like phase two val. I get that her depression is "realistic" and that trauma does just make some people completely dislikeable and self-pitying, and if people want to read about that, then...sure. you do you, my dudes. But I live that reality, I am that person whose trauma made her a dysfunctional, isolated bitch, and I hate, passionately, having it infest the media I consume to escape.

Essentially if I wanted to engage with a bitter, spiteful, depressed piece of shit in her 20s who pushes everyone away and sucks at everything, I'd live my gd life. Yall see me tryna engage with my real life? Hell nah I'm on tumblr dot com burying my head up the ass of whatever fandom will force my brain to produce some s e r o t o n i n and that is what I need this series for

Also? The dynamic she had with skug in phase one? "Until the end"? "You save me, I save you, that's how we work"? Forget that, it doesn't exist anymore. I stopped reading after Midnight, because she was written like he was a coworker she could barely tolerate. They went from "Lardo confirms on twitter that they talked on the phone a bunch while she was in america and he'd always ask her to come home" to "she comes home and proceeds to blank him for five months while she sits in her fuckin multimillionaire's mansion feeling sorry for herself". Their friendship completely disintegrated, they were totally separated for most of the book, she's written as not giving a single shit about him. She treated him like dirt, and their dynamic basically felt like it was becoming "Local Man With History Of Gravitating Towards Abusive Women Makes Same Terrible Choices For Fifth Time" and? that was the point of no return to me. he supports her unconditionally, no matter what he's going through at the time, he's walked on broken bones to try and get to her when she was in danger, she can tell him anything and he'd never use it against her. I did not, for one second in phase two, believe she felt the same about him. tbh it felt like she could - and wanted to - drop him at the first opportunity and not even feel bad about it, and that's not the dynamic that made me so emotionally attached to phase one. i signed up for "until the end", not whatever bullshit phase two has going on.

Apparently she's "less depressed" now and their relationship is "better" in the books published since midnight, which! might well be true. but I haven't read them and don't intend to, and she's gone from one of my favourite fictional characters ever (which! was impressive! because i almost never bond with the female lead - i normally get attached exclusively to the character i crush on, which would be skug here. val was the first female lead i actually cared about since xena! so im deeply salty about losing her!) to a character i? honestly prefer to pretend doesn't exist. i live in war era dead men/generals crackship land because that way, i don't have to acknowledge her or the fuckin character assassination phase 2 pulled on her.

so yeah, no hate towards phase one val at all. phase one val was awesome and flawed and gave me something to aspire to despite my shitty mental health and trauma, and if she'd kept her original personality she might still have been those things. but the original "real life" val is no longer involved (and doesn't talk to landy at all anymore, apparently), and the val based on landy's insufferable gf? i cannot get behind her at all ever, four for skug and none for phase two val cain bye

(tldr; you're not missing anything by quitting after spx)

My Thoughts on Castlevania S3

So I cant sleep, I've binged this series twice now & I really need to get this out. For context on me as a person, I am an LGBT+ WOC (specifically Asian & bisexual). Castlevania is my favourite game series + the reason why I pursued Game Design as my career. The show means the world to me & I thoroughly enjoyed s3 for the most part. I acknowledge the flaws & these r just MY opinions, they do not reflect the other mods intentionally in anyway.

The art + animation was so CLEAN. There was not one scene that did not take my breath away. The attention to detail was phenomenal I have no words to describe it.

Some of the best fight scenes ever just ridiculous, it's like john wick. The action is upped every installment + its just so CLEAN

The entire team puts so much time + effort Into making Sypha such an enjoyable badass it's so amazing. I am never disappointed with her, never ever.

The lesbians. Striga & Morana, god I wish that were me.

Isaacs character arc was so good. Like the budget really went to Sypha + Issac this season LOL

Sumi + Takka, they meant so much to me. I love them, I really do. I cant say I'm not hurt seeing them at the end. I'm actually very hurt, my heart aches. I never thought I'd get to see representation like that in a series that I loved but felt idk invisible to. LGBT Asians in a historical setting outside of Asia, it was just...a dream for me. I fell in love w/ them instantly & I think that's why I tend to over look their faults a lot.

But when you see yourself on screen in something you've dedicated years to & you're just finally seen its...its so hard. The last time I felt this full was Shiro from V*ltr*n and we know how that shit went down. Idk I'm happy for what I recieved, grateful even, for however short it was. I loved their characters, i love sumi + takka i just wish they got a better ending. They all deserved better

More info on Cho I really oof I could not have asked for more. This bitch was so extra & I love her

That music score, the sound design. Bruh I can't even with all this TALENT

I call episode 9 the Fuckening

The Portals to different worlds really confuses me but I am here for it, I hope it's just like an Easter egg to their future projects or that the writers were all high around then

I see u w/ that jojo reference, I bet you think ur all so slick

Hector's entire story arc, wtf was that? My guy you can't be like "Oh humanity is evil and stupid and eats shit" and then be that gullible I-ooof u frustrate me u beautiful boy. Like s2 implies he burns his family alive & I'm sitting here deadass like how the fuck did u even pull that off

The forgemasters being called pretty + their reactions were priceless

I want Richter Armitage to read me a bed time story

Trevor, Isaac & Sypha r just so well done this season

THE. HORSES. ARE. HEALTHIER.

Isaac rode a demonic purple unicorn around the world, he's my fucking hero

Alucard a confirmed bottom + bisexual thank u

The sex scenes were juxtaposed to the intense fighting but it felt awkward to watch but it was also very fitting in an odd way????

The dolls were hilarious

I learned a lot about toilet paper

The Judge being like "no kids run around in my village" is the equivalent to Mr. Mosby from Suit Life of Zack & Cpdy being like "dont u run in my lobby" AND I CALLED IT OUT AND AND WAS RIGHT

This show has taught me to never trust bald, old white men w/ interesting voices

Carmilla was just a hot ball of anger for the most Part & got annoying real fast, but that night robe tho. That was everything

I liked Lenore's character trope. Being that sweet innocent looking one, but shes really just this cruel evil bitch. Like everyone complains about Carmilla but at least shes evil to ur face until this fake bitch over here

Takka doesn't do mornings? Niether do I

Alucards wardrobe upgraded from deep Vs to fluffy Victorian Lestat cosplay

I really really want an empire run by 4 vampire sisters. Like I know they're all evil, cruel bitches but the sisterhood they showed for each other is such a goal. Women supporting women is amazing I just wish they weren't the fucking villains

A lot of my gripe is that all the rep I want & thirst for all falls into a negative category in some way/shape/form

This whole season feels more like a bridge to season 4. Kinda like a season full of fillers.

The ending hurts me I'm several ways, but objectively it is a haunting image and it really invokes so much on it's own w/o context backing it. W/ it tho, even more mindblowing and heartbreaking

Thank you so much for pronouncing Kolkata properly

I'm always blown away by character designs ur doing great sweety

The angel has the juiciest ass

Where the fuck is Cezar?

Aight I think that's all for now. If you got issues then come to me about it, not the other mods. But I'll let u know I will not tolerate racist shit (which I've gotten on IG already). I really needed to dump these feelings out. I stan Sumi & Takka, I love them and I'll carry all that on my own if I have to.

002 evening or dandelion! ur pick

002 || give me a character and i will tell you...

how i feel about this character

i really, truly love eveningstorm. there was a period of time where i wasn’t quite sure about her; i thought she might just be a very typical “soft” character with not much more substance. she proved me wrong, though, and she’s one of my favorite jaggedclan cats now for sure. she is soft, but not in a way that ever comes across as weak or whiny. she uses her big heart to her advantage and goes out of her way to brighten the lives of those around her, and i think that’s what i appreciate most about her overall: the joy she brings to everyone else’s lives. eveningstorm is a good cat, selfless in her own way, and she’s become a lot more mature than i think people give her credit for. she’s certainly not brooding or the type to go very in depth into more negative emotions, but that’s what makes her special. she’s surrounded by so many cats struggling with such things that she stands out from the crowd because she is different. i also just...really adore how she’s come from being this bouncy, bubbly apprentice who you could easily call an airhead to...well, still just as bouncy and bubbly, but a more levelheaded warrior who is now capable of being a mother and looking after her kits and her friends.

all my romantic ships with this character

god knows i adore eveningstorm and harriet together...it’s the sort of ship that’s not overly complicated, and sometimes, that’s what you need. they would be so absolutely precious together, just totally and completely in love, and though harriet’s not completely a mess, it’d be sweet to see eveningstorm’s support help her with some of her nervous qualities. 

i also, slowly but surely, have been caving in to the idea of eveningstorm and starlingstep...it would be a long haul sort of ship to watch play out, but eveningstorm is one of the few cats that i think starlingstep has even a baseline potential to tolerate right now, and that’s...where all of her relationships are going to have to start from, seeing as she’s completely distanced herself from her clanmates at this point. again, eveningstorm could help starlingstep come out of her shell a bit, and...okay. the thought of big ol’ gruff and grumpy starlingstep growing fond of eveningstorm and passionately protecting her? it’s kind of sweet, okay. 

doerunner and eveningstorm is also sort of intriguing me a bit too, but i think i prefer her right now with either harriet or starlingstep. 

my non-romantic otp for this character

eveningstorm and owlheart, mainly, though i also adore eveningstorm and falconwing aaaaand eveningstorm and mintwhisker. the dynamic of eveningstorm and owlheart is just precious to me, because owlheart is absolutely not the type of cat you would imagine would be fond of eveningstorm, but it just...works. it makes sense that he likes her, and it makes sense that she can see the slightly softer side in him, too. with falconwing, i think eveningstorm just makes for a brilliant friend; she’s supportive, patient, sweet, everything that falconwing needs. and as for eveningstorm and mintwhisker...although their relationship hasn’t been in the spotlight as of late, i’ll always adore their little bond that was born from similar situations. recruits for life, right? 

my unpopular opinion about this character

she had kits...kind of too early, but she does take care of them, so it’s not really a bad thing. i just think that she and owlheart did sort of jump into the concept of having a family, though imo, it was a fairly in character choice for both of them...but they definitely are young parents, and it’d be cool to see that perhaps have an effect at some point!

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

i want to see eveningstorm branch out a bit in terms of friends...like, she’s friendly to everyone overall, but she’s gotta start collecting more close ones. hit up some other jaggedclan cats, eveningstorm. i know you can win them over. 

my otp

it’s gotta be eveningstorm / harriet right now!

a headcanon

she feels quite nervous about the fact that she chose nightkit’s name to be what it is because she worries that even though she asked him about it, oakjaw will resent her / will resent nightkit for the name that serves as a constant reminder to nightwing. 

[haruki-ya]

Makiko

How I feel about this character:

MAKIKO. MAKI.KO. MA. KI. KO! man do i love her. She’s such a sweet lil bean and her whole existence has brought lots of fun and joy and interesting plot devices into the world of Akira. like she literally in and of herself is the perfect way to keep the story going and/or to make a continuation and get closure from the end of the series that we all so desperately WANT and NEED.

on top of that??? she’s a really unique character! both because of her creation/existence and because of the little things that make her her like her love for pastels and her selfless nature and her desire to protect everyone and save the world even though she is just one babey ugh. even if someone were to argue she was merely the sum of Kaori and Tetsuo’s parts (WRONG) Makiko is very decidedly different form both of them while having endearing traits from them both (like kaori’s cuteness nd sweetness and tetsuo’s power and forehead lol). i love the potential for her character and how much she’s grown already from the very first drabble I read with her nd i can’t wait for her to turn full gay pastel punk and stunt on the haters with her girlfriend hisako at her side and takeo with his baesball bat on her other side like FUCK EM UP KIDS save the world!

seriously tho @tetsuocommittee really knew what she was doing when she created Makiko and ily for it thank you for blessing us with her and keeping the spirit of Akira (and Tetsuo and Kaori lol) alive within that tiny gay psychic child.  go follow her and find out for yourself just how neat her story is!

 All the people I ship romantically with this character:

Makiko/Happiness  Hisako is the only one i ship with Makiko tbh bless their lil gay hearts. Hisako brings pure unfiltered fun and sweetness into Makiko’s world when she so desperately needs it and vice versa so Cam and Risu if ur reading this y’all know what tf is up that’s the otp for me sorry moving on thank you 

(still really wanna write them playin hopscotch or somethin cute like that….)

My non-romantic OTP for this character: 

…..my boi Takeo tbh…..everyone could use a sibling friend and I think Takeo is just the lil dude for Makiko! he 1) probably i think doesn’t tolerate her negativity/self-depreciating nature 2) doesn’t believe in Akira/esper powers (up until an unavoidable point) nd gives Makiko a chance to push her luck around him and practice stealthy powers hehe 3) benefits himself from having a sensitive but sensible friend who helps him move past his emotional constipation 4) is just a good pal to a real good gal…..and j could go on but I’ll stop here with an obligatory “I love them!”

My unpopular opinion about this character:

um…....she’s too precious...I got nothing

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

she grows up swole like chiyoko  Hm honestly I don;t think I have anything to add for this one, because I know the wonderful author is still having ideas about Tetsuoverse and where to go next with it so i’m just excited for the possibilities, both the ones that we have discussed and otherwise! 

ok i thought of something actually…..this is probably wholly improbable but….I want Makiko to meet Kaori somehow….maybe in the dreamscape???? that would b really cool I think probably a shock to both them if Kaori were anything more than an impression of her former self capable of thought and feelings outside what she expressed in real life….ok that’s all

Heyy i hope u r doing fine n taking care of ur self

So i wanted to say was pjms in nodus tollens he gets confusing like sometimes I feel like he is a nice boyfriend and other times I find him annoying , clingy n unreasonable

And he gets crazy with his dilemmas and imaginary paradoxes if possible can u give some egs of him being that way

And how would he react if rei voices her opinion n tries to make him understand like try to have a heart to heart with him (well he'll definitely use u dont love me anymore n u want to leave me apart from that)

And what if rei finally snaps n goes like yES I DoN'T LOvE U ANyMOrE AnD I'M LeaVInG u

I personally see him more of an emotionally blackmailing person like using crocodile tears and puppy eyes to get rei

I'm really sorry if I'm asking too much🙇‍♀️ u can like totally ignore it

henlo. thank you for your well wishes, i am doing okay 🦋

i won't say he gets confused but more like his subconscious gets tangled in the fight between acting one way or the other. his outward person is very much of a person who is genuinely nice but gets overpowered by his own mind with its negative thoughts.

i think rei would have a hard time making him see eye-to-eye with his issues. sitting him down and having a talk isn't difficult at all, he is pretty easy going in general and would hear her out but would he understand though? 🤔 it would take a lot of patience on rei's part. but i guess that's how i have tried to portray the men, like there is no "i can fix him" with them. they are toxic from beginning to end and should be avoided at all costs.

true, crocodile tears, passive aggressive comments, puppy eyes are his biggest weapons. if rei gets angry/upset/sad, he has only two reactions based on his mood:

either he will try to win her heart by making sweet gestures like arranging for a romantic date or giving her the puppy eyes

or, turn it against her with how he is the one who compromises / tolerates everything in the relationship and then has to see her mood too now? how rude!

don't apologise, its alright! 🦋

Lain imo gipafeel nko donita. Every fucking day. Every day u make me feel like every betrayal i did was a definition of who teh i am. And im sick of it. Im sick of having to hide unsa jd ko na tao and having to be fucking cautious every single day just bc i may say something wrong to u maglain npud imo hunahuna nko. I was never myself bc u didnt give me a chance to be myself bc u already made a definition of who i am. U didnt say shit but u dont need to say shit to make me feel like shit u know tht right? How do i change that? Im not an empathetic person. Bc all u giving me is i felt dis like ghorl there no one as guilty as i am here so dont start to think that wla rkoy pake bc i care donita. and i cud never turn back tym to change tht. I told jens about imong feelings kang green not to bring u down but bc i care about whats going on thts why i did that. I never meant ill and youre entitled to like or dislike them basi sa imong gusto. And she has never changed her mind about what she thinks of u maybe dli lng jd mi sang ayun sa imo opinion about dpat jd ibasi ang relationship sa financial side of it pero nirespeto ko sa imo opinion. Sakto ka na kaylangan ig sulod sa relationship naa puy ikabuga ang lalaki (in this case) sa relationship but not entirely just about it. And i know u understand pero at the moment dili dha nagfocus ila relationship. Gpabaya rman sd tka cuz u know what ur doin. I said spoiled brat basi sa akong nakita sa imo trato sa imo mama sa real life. Not in all aspects ka spoiled donita i know u earn ur own money and u are independent pero i hope u see din kung unsa gipakita sa imo mama unsa ka kalove nya. Dli nlng pirmi negative unta akong madunggan about sa imo mama. Dli lng ko katoleeate og disrespect sa mga inahan every time i see it. Same exact reason why i didnt like how marich treated her mother. Akong morals will still remain the same. And if musaway ka ana then u not seeing clearly how much kaimportante imong mama. Wla ko niside sa imo mama niside ko sa unsa akong gpamati. Sge if dako kaayu kag trust issue sa ako then dont tell me shit anymore and mas maayu pa dli nlng jd ta magtingganay. I jst want to tell u everything and what u made me feel din kaysa i jst let u down me. if dako kaayu tu sa imo then dli sd tu nko gbaliwala. Abi nmo sayun rtu nko nanghitaboa sa una pero fck if wla jd koy paki nmo ghorl hagbay nko nigive up sa atuang friendship. Im not perfect yes and ive done mistakes yes pero asa mn ko muposition sa akong self when all u want is perfection. I dont know how to show care emotionally to someone and it comes off snobbish. Kaya thts why i appreciate jens a lot for showing me how much i do need to be loved bisag dli nko deserve og naging open sha without judgement. U dont know half of whats going on with me and as much as i want u to realise i condone not to bc i will never put down my walls. Dli lng nko gpakit pero never ko niretaliate nmo.

Dli mn ko pareha ninyu ni jens na emotional na tao. Kaya sorry sa tanan hinanakit whether u think thts insincere or not. Sa mga time na gdisrespect tika og wla ko naging patient. If dli na klaro sa ako gpakita nmo den ill try harder. But i cant work with someone who doesnt even wanna give me a chance. At least thats what you made me feel over the yrs. And i will not change my morals esp if dli ko sang ayun sa imong gpangbuhat. I always want to know where ure coming from donita, but today its time for u to hear me too and for that im tired.

the fade is a liar sometimes

aka, a really long post about how mal hawke survived dragon age inquisition. warning for big but kinda vague spoilers for dai and mentions of alcoholism

ok full disclosure i dont know how he survived the fade. but im thinking the nightmare like. didnt wake back up in time to block the way through the portal, and so never caused the Do I Kill The Warden Or Hawke dilemma. cos. that was kiiiiiiiinda bullshit. 

i had to pick between alistair and mal. and i really didnt want mal to be actually really dead bc at the time of here lies the abyss he’d be in a really shitty place, mentally, and i didnt want him to just! die! without resolving that! so i gave canon the finger and concocted a convoluted plan to give mal a better ending

background, after the events of da2, he ended up leaving kirkwall and fuckin’ around in the woods for a bit. i imagine he was helping refugees get out for a little while, until anders showed up and convinced him to help groups of renegade mages/circles on the verge of winning their independence. at this point he was pretty sick of the world at large, didn’t know what he wanted or where he was going to go next, and let himself be (guided? directed? pushed around?) by anders, drinking himself into oblivion and generally feeling like garbage. he fell out of contact with most of his remaining friends and began convincing himself that he was guilty for the explosion, by trusting anders (he’d suspected something was wrong with the ingredients anders was asking for and confronted him about it, but trusted him and helped him by distracting the grand cleric)

i rambled about this on my private twitter but mal and anders... ended up not being a great fit for one another and past me said it better than present me can

eventually, the inquisition came into being and grew in power. anders, still being a wanted man and mal too by association, avoided the inquisition’s patrols pretty easily. but stories started to spread about the inquisitor and his... particularly creative justice. see, pica really likes choices that have some poetic irony to them that also focus on rebuilding (he had alexius work for the mages, stuff like that), generally avoids executions, and is pretty chill with mages. the inquisition is also independent of any government, really, and is about as impartial as you can get in thedas. so when mal gets word from varric that corypheus is back, a problem, and something they need mal’s help with (that is also, in his professional opinion, his fault), he gets an idea.

he heads to skyhold, meets pica (who read the tale of the champion, asks varric questions about it constantly, was expecting a hero, and was not expecting the hero to be a depressed alcoholic) and iunno here lies the abyss happens with the aforementioned edit of no one important dying (i guess i could kill alistair and preserve a kind of important turning point in pica’s character with an added bonus of giving mal another thing to have survivor’s guilt about but i dont think i could go through with it. imagine the emotional toll. pica could get that change some other way anyway) mal by this point has gotten to know pica fairly well and has found what he’s heard to be true, and gives him a proposition

(i would like to add now that while ive read asunder, until i looked it up just now i didn’t remember where it sits in the timeline relative to da2, and it wasnt super clear to me just how much each of the two events affected the mage/templar war. so some text in sketches might be inaccurate, historically)

so you can imagine that anders is Pissed Off by this development, but justice is kinda like 

cos like. pica Is a real actual authority figure. who is down to dispense some quality justice esp re mages. and is coming at it from a “yo i know you meant well and you did kinda have a point but you also killed a lot of people so there does have to be Some kind of consequence of that”

(but neither of them are at all happy with mal turning them in)

anyway the trial ends up including a full investigation of the events in kirkwall, as well as the events at the spire (cole, rhys, and evangeline all give their testimony) and it’s more a straightening out of what was up with the whole start of this shitshow anyway, cos the confusion and misinformation about it is probably the worst part. 

pica finds anders guilty and sentences him to community service, which a lot of people disagreed with. pica thinks it was a GREAT IDEA though because that community service comes in the form of anders teaching the inquisition mages about healing magic!! something that anders is good at, loves doing, and can actually help people with!! why are we still fuckin about with herbs when there’s magic!!!!! this also has the added bonus of making mages less scary to the general populace- chuckin’ fireballs is a lot more alien and intimidating than healing up a broken arm, yknow? it can help mages seem more human and good for society than they were, separated from the public in towers.

anders is still a prisoner, though, which hes super not happy about, and part of his sentence is also that dagna gets to study him. he and samson are in grudging solidarity in the face of tolerating her extreme cheerfulness. and maybe he gets a cat too. i wonder if he and samson could talk about how shitty the chantry is re: lyrium addiction in templars? its obvs not on the scale of mage shittiness but it could be an interesting discussion

see in the grand scheme of things mal really didnt do all that much. he was duped by a lover into doing something he 100% would not have done if hed known what was actually going on. i feel like the most anyone could bust him on was aiding and abetting. and maybe helping hide an apostate. mal was found, as pica informally put it while distracted by looking at a transcript of a kirkwall templar’s testimony, “kinda guilty? just like. if ur asked to help blow up a chantry dont do it again” but cassandra elbowed him really hard and he said “look ok your sentence is, fuck, i dunno, work for the inquisition. what do you wanna do”

that was not what mal was expecting and he didnt have an answer. and pica looked at him and said “ill give you some time to figure it out, ok. just. take care of yourself, man. u look like shit” which got him another elbow, which he returned to cass with equal force

anyway. mal is now officially Not Guilty in the court of the law. which fuckin sucks bc that assessment does absolutely NOTHING to stop his shit brain from keeping being guilty about everything. so he tries to quit drinking, fails, and just has a rough time in general, while also sometimes visiting anders in prison. which probably really doesn’t help.

ENTER WARDEN-COMMANDER OF FERELDAN, MADRANA “MAD” TABRIS, AND HER PARTNER/GF/ADULT SUPERVISION EMMARIE “EMMY” COUSLAND

(you may also know mads as hester, as i called her in previous playthroughs. hester’s not a really elfy name and shes grown far enough away from her namesake that i felt a change was warranted. also emmy was created by @1500birds. i love her)

thats them (mads then emmy) so mad tabris, legendary fighter, unkillable blight-ender, bather in darkspawn blood, and general bottle covey is looking for a challenge. its been like ten years since shes had an actually hard battle to win and she’s near skyhold, and she’s heard that mal hawke, another legendary fighter, is also in the area. oh and some cadash guy. hes apparently good too. also, she’s looking for some way out of the whole grey warden death sentence thing. shes not keen on dying unless she’s killed, ydig, and apparently skyhold’s doing a lot of groundbreaking research these days

she and emmy swing on in to skyhold and finds that hawke is, well, a mess

important background. mads is not good at dealing with other peoples’ emotions. so shes not really equipped to deal with this. emmy, however, is kind, has nerves of steel, loves to help people, and is Very equipped to deal with this. and so the two of them adopt mal. (even though hes older than both of them.) 

theyve got really, really different ways of trying to help mal. emmy is a great listener, and understands survivor’s guilt and the lost-all-my-family brand of trauma pretty well. she helps him sort through all the shit that’s happened to him and offers a lot of support. and hugs. by god shes a hugger. also theyve got a symbiotic cuddling relationship bc emmy is always cold and mal is always warm, so they platonically nap together sometimes. mads is unfortunately too wriggly and pointy to be a good cuddler :’( she squeezes in the mix sometimes anyway though and it’s uncomfortable but nice

mads’s method of helping mal is in her area of expertise: getting out pent-up negative emotion by fighting. for a long time, mal has internalized a lot of shit, and mads is really good at annoying him into either yelling or punching out that shit. shes doing it out of concern for his well-being, she swears, and not because she takes joy in pissing people off. she does but thats not the point. it’s not a perfect strategy but it does help a lot

unfortunately for her, sometimes mal can be downright vindictive when drunk and angry, and can hit on the few things she’s insecure about

(i would really love to make a post about mads sometime, cos she ended up being a lot deeper of a character than i originally intended. i really just wanted a really sharp angry lady who fought with the subtlety of a brick to the face, and ended up getting that plus bravado covering up a whole host of insecurities. i feel like i should finish dao before writing it up though ahah)

(what mal said is also not totally accurate- mads cares very much for emmy. but yknow how when things get heated it doesn’t really matter if they’re really accurate anymore- they just have to be close enough to get a reaction, ydig)

anyway! the two of them together help mal get his life back in order- he cuts down and eventually quits drinking, starts taking better care of himself, and gets more of a handle on life. i guess you’re probably wondering where varric is, right around now. so am i mal pushed away a lot of people close to him after da2, including varric. but varric kept looking out for him (lying to cassandra to protect him, using his network of contacts to keep an eye on where he and anders were operating). when mal comes to skyhold i think he’d try to avoid varric out of guilt- yknow how when it’s been a really long time since you’ve talked to someone, and you know you should have called them back, but you never did, and they kept asking how you were, and you want to be in an actually good place before you call them back, but shit keeps happening, and it’s been like two years since youve said anything to them, and then you see them and do some serious acrobatics trying to stay out of their sight so you don’t have to confront their honest interest in your well-being that they have no right to still have after so long with no word from you, and you have to make it seem like you havent been avoiding them because that would be rude, and really it’s just easier to be constantly vigilant of where they are and make sure youve got plausible reason to be leaving casually yet quickly

well mal did that. emmy had to physically bar his way from escaping a room once when varric came in, and dragged him by the scruff of the neck to talk to him. varric was painfully understanding and ended up hitting it off nicely with emmy

so! someday mal gets a job. specifically, pica gives him one. because he still owes the world some community service. with his experience as a hunter and highwayman, he becomes a scout!

whoaaa color

more specifically, mal becomes a... specialized type of scout. some idiot who shall not be named but whose name sounds a whole lot like pica cadash gave him command of a small squad of scouts, heavier armored and armed than average inquisition scouts but not heavy enough to count as infantry soldiers. their job is to dismantle highwayman and rogue mercenary bands, in whatever way necessary. so! originally this was supposed to mean sneak attacks on their strongholds or whatever, but mal talked with him about his own experiences with crime (mostly that most people in his crew back then were in it out of necessity, and needed money to support family) and the squad kind of became. really heavy recruiters. it became kind of a joke that the inquisition would take anyone- and they would! practically any skillset could be used in an organization as big as the inquisition, and at this point it was still growing

like. barely any exaggeration here

so that’s where he is pre-trespasser! thank u for reading and if youve got questions or want to learn more PLEASE ask i lov my ocs and love talking about them

i want to add that in @1500birds‘s latest playthrough (miranda trevelyan, a pro-chantry mage cullenmancer) mal rags on cullen endlessly

that was supposed to be the playthrough where he survives the fade, but then bran realized that miranda would kinda hate mal and would 100% leave him behind

[mercenarypark]

in my the honest onion:

[brief mentions/implications of #incest, #rape, #cheating, and #antiblackness for the shit tier section]

shit tier tf2 ships:

-cheavy/medic [you know why the fuck this is]

-pauling/any man [shes a canon lesbian, harold]

-pauling/administrator[HUUUUGE age gap and power imbalance]

-scout/spy [You Know Why. The Fuck. This Is.]

-scout/any of the mercs aside from sniper [implied or canonical age gap w/ all of the other mercs. only possible exception is pyro depending on someone’s headcanons]

-sniper/any of the mercs aside from scout[he’s only three years older than scout]

-sniper/spy [singled out for being unbelievably common, a god awful hateship, and almost always crossfaction- while demo/soldier, the Origin of the crossfaction starcrossed lovers, barely gets any love]

-sniper/demo [singled out for just being annoying as hell and for the fact that sniper drugged demo on two occasions within a few minutes of each other, once for literally no reason except that he wanted to, and then wanted to bury him alive] [leave demo the fuck alone]

-sniper/medic [singled out because i personally hate this ship specifically. also you would not BELIEVE the amount of shitty art ive had to sift through where sniper and medic are dating behind heavy’s back. not to mention the ones where medic isn’t doing so consensually. if you get what i mean. anyway i fucking hate this ship!]

-engie/spy [literally there is no way to ship it without them both despising each other why do yall love ur hateships and abuse so much]

-demo/”medic’s wife” [gabby has a whole post on why this entire concept is rooted in antiblackness:

http://thefrenchiestfrytisi.tumblr.com/post/161643992161/team-fortress-2-medics-wife-fanon-is-terrible

 [a post which many people didnt read and instead turned it into a discussion on whether or not ppl can erase pauling’s sexuality]]

average tier tf2 ships:

-sniper/scout [like, i personally dislike it because scout’s too good for piss man but i tolerate it just fine]

-engie/soldier [bordering on negative, because it was so oddly popular]

-pyro/scout [IF someone hcs pyro as being around scout’s age. if pyro is as old as most of the mercs then it goes to shit tier]

-soldier/medic [i dont see it personally but i dont mind it

-pyro/medic [as a ship ALONE its fine, but bcause in my hcs pyro and medic are kind of like family, its obviously shit tier to me. but as a concept theres nothing wrong with it]

-soldier/spy [there is one[1] video that made me feel a lot of affection for this ship, but otherwise its not a big one for me, i dont mind it though and some stuff is cute]

good tier tf2 ships:

-spy/medic [a personal fave- it really, REALLY depends on the context though. like is someone portraying it as a hateship or are they on equal standing with each other and if they do insult each other they both know the other’s limits and genuinely care about each other? if not this is shit tier]

-pauling/zhanna [IF they clear up their misunderstandings about soldier- but if they have the antagonistic relationship they have in canon then its shit tier]

GOD TIER TF2 SHIPS:

-heavy/medic -demo/soldier -any combination of heavy, demo, and engie -medic/engie -pauling/bronislava -pauling/yana -spy/scout’s mom [IF he redeems himself and stops being a fucking dick and apologizes for what he did to her and IF she decides to accept that apology.] -soldier/zhanna -pyro/demo —–any ships not listed, i either didnt think about, or i dont really have an opinion on them so theyre probably average or good. also obviously my word is god now and you have to conform to everything i say [thats a joke. yall can have ur own preferences. i stand by the fact that pretty much everything in shit tier is irredeemable garbage though!!!!! :D]

[ hair color ] dark brown, slightly wavy.

[ eye color ] hazel

[ accent ] thick italian accent, gets even stronger when excited.

[ voice ] low, though tends to be soft and silvery, but gets louder  and booming with excitement.

[ style of speech ] slow and clear, especially when speaking in other languages due to his heavier accent. though when he is passionate or excited his speech begins to speed up and words can grow jumbled together.

[ scars ] many scars, mainly caused from sparring or fighting and small small cuts from stupid activities over time. notable scars would be a long and large diagonal one from his ribs downwards a couple of inches, caused from one of his worst sword wounds. other notable ones would be a large one on the back of his right arm from another sword, thick wide though not very long. he also has a large round scar on his left elbow caused from a bad cut doing a dare as a child.

[ abnormalities ] none.

[ clothing/style ] very plain. stems from a poor upbringing as he values comfort and practicality over fashion, most of his clothes would be very simple and plain, not very flashy and perhaps a little more on the worn side. though he would have one nice outfit for parties and special occasions, likely in a deep blue with some embroidery. 

—— ❝ tell us, what kind of person are you ?? ❞

[ star sign ] sagittarius - curious and energetic, sagittarius is one of the biggest travelers among all zodiac signs. their open mind and philosophical view motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. sagittarius is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. sagittarius-born are able to transform their thoughts into concrete actions and they will do anything to achieve their goals. like the other fire signs, sagittarius needs to be constantly in touch with the world to experience as much as possible. the ruling planet of sagittarius is jupiter, the largest planet of the zodiac. their enthusiasm has no bounds, and therefore people born under the sagittarius sign possess a great sense of humor and an intense curiosity. freedom is their greatest treasure, because only then they can freely travel and explore different cultures and philosophies. because of their honesty, sagittarius-born are often impatient and tactless when they need to say or do something, so it's important to learn to express themselves in a tolerant and socially acceptable way.

[ alignment ] chaotic good - a chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. he makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. he believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. he hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. he follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.

[ enneagram type ] type seven, the enthusiast - sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. they constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. they typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness.

[ colour personality ] deep pink, #FF1493 - your dominant hues are red and magenta. you love doing your own thing and going on your own adventures, but there are close friends you know you just can't leave behind. you can influence others on days when you're patient, but most times you just want to go out, have fun, and do your own thing. your saturation level is high - you get into life and have a strong personality. everyone you meet will either love you or hate you - either way, your goal is to get them to change the world with you. you are very hard working and don't have much patience for people without your initiative. your outlook on life is very bright. you are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

[ what plants best represent you ] dandelion: scrappy and tough, you’re a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of person. you don’t give up easily and you often thrive in situations that others would find discouraging. you have an instinct to serve others and see yourself as most useful in times or places of crisis, but you may over rely on your toughness and forget how sensitive you really are. echinacea: a protector. with an amazing blend of optimism, nurturing and goodwill, you lend your strength and energy to those in need. your seemingly infinite goodwill and boundless supportive energy make you the one people turn to when times are tough. your greatest strength is, of course, also one of your weaknesses, especially if you neglect to take care of yourself. at times like these, it’s a good idea to take a step back and focus some of that protective energy on yourself. ginger: spirited. a feisty and fiery companion, quick with an opinion, a laugh or an idea. warm, friendly and inviting, you never allow an awkward moment to pass. in fact, even cold and distant people warm up to you more quickly than others. negative experiences or too much indulgence, however, can send you into a bit of a tailspin, and when hurt you may become quite cold and distant. ginger people do best when their natural warmth and affection is flowing freely, giving them easy access to their love of life.

[ theme/character song ] ‘ cigarette daydreams ’ cage the elephant - you can drive all night, looking for the answers in the pouring rain, you wanna find peace of mind, looking for the answer

[mjalti]

I read your opinion on marriage and I think it's very interesting. I was wondering what your thoughts on love where? If you found someone that had the same values and opinions as you. Would you marry them? Or you would want to fall in love with them first? Do you think love is necessary for a marriage to succeed? Would you marry someone you didn't "love"? I am sorry if these questions are too personal. I just like the way you think.

buckle up.

first of all, i really believe that ALL emotions spring from Love. every good, bad, great, heinous emotion springs based about love. i think, for example, lack of love is what we call hate; but it isn’t hate. it’s just a lack of love. different levels of missing love have other names; meanness, bitterness, etc. are love deficiencies with different amounts. overabundance of love turns into words like naïveté, innocent, etc. but it is just a surplus of love.i think this because i wholeheartedly believe that life sprang from God, who IS Love. everything else is a cancer, a maladaptation, a concentration, etc OF that original balanced Love. we try to replicate the original state, our spirit remembers the peace that we had when we were Love with a love that was genuine and real. so moving on to the colloquial;

“love” currently is a four letter word for a very broad term. it’s like saying “do u like science” when u wanna really ask about microbiology; well i might tolerate chemistry but despise geology, give u the answer “no” and we’re still not talking about the same thing. love, romantic love, i think is so rare that VERY FEW people actually go through it. it’s like when people say “what would u do if u won the lottery” and u wanna buy a new house but since u haven’t won the lottery, u just buy some fancy towels instead. we all CHASE (subconsciously or conciously) the idea of healthy romantic love, and try to pretend we have it in any relationship, but literally very few of us get it. the rest of us are trying to TJ Maxxinista our way into designer items we can’t afford. so. your questions. what do i think of love? i don’t really know which kind you mean. familial or platonic or romantic or any hue in between. love is what’s allowed humanity to progress as far as we have, evolution wise; we band together under emotional bonds that are different frequencies of love (friendships, etc). however in the light of there being 8 billion people, a massive surplus, on earth right now, it becomes something that’s working almost against us. your questions insinuate romantic love, specifically. i think, again, GENUINE romantic love between two human beings is rare enough to the point that u don’t have to worry about it. you can just assume u won’t find it and be 99.9% correct, then worry about doing what u can with what u have in front of u. You can find people who are infatuated with you, who like you, who are infatuated with you AND like you so it makes it easier to settle for them under the guise of love but it isn’t. it’s settling. call a spade a spade. most people, i would say All people, settle. then this friendship love that u married for turns into a strong bond based on friendship, inside jokes, shared experiences like going to college, similar future experiences like watching ur kids marry, similar ideologies which might just be a side product of having been born in the same/near same generation, etc. this bond highly mimics romantic love but it is not romantic love.

the basis for a successful marriage is high mutual RESPECT. respect is the closest thing, in my opinion, that we can access in our hearts that is akin to genuine Love bc respect says “u don’t have to like me right now but we are going to work together to pay off this bill” without any show of force or abuse or violence.

i don’t anticipate being in romantic love, myself, ever. i’m also at an age where i would have been in love already and i was able to avoid it personally (or more accurately, to avoid the emotion presented as love to me, which wasn’t really love again it was infatuation on the other persons end). i really don’t think it’s probable, i don’t think it’s something that i should “shoot for” in the same way that i don’t bank on my future bank account being solely financed through winning the lottery & nothing else.

i will not marry without a high degree of mutual respect. as an example, if he doesn’t ask my opinion on topics especially ones that impact us both, that’s disrespect to me. Tbh finding people with the same values and opinions as me is easy. it really is; that’s what friendship is based around (not what it IS, but an element of its makeup). i don’t want a friend. i want a life partner. so for me, it’s not about “i want u to agree with me 100%”, it’s more “i will explain to u my way of thinking and try to bring u to my side via logic 100% and if at the end u do NOT agree, we will still move on with no consequences to our relationship”.

like don’t get me wrong, but i see so many husbands talking about “can’t do that, my wife won’t let me” or “yeah The Wife needs me to do x y z” so much as i want a fucking adult who thinks “this scenario seems fun but might impact my partner negatively; let me clarify with her specifically what is going on and how she would prefer to proceed if i do go ahead and do this thing”. that’s respect. checking in with ur partner, making SURE, being on the same page even if sometimes it sucks that u don’t get your own way. Now. with all of this; i would have to (and would) 100% reciprocate. checking in with my partner, eschewing some fun activities if it makes him uncomfortable for the sake of his feelings, helping him develop his talents, helping his family n his people, being his rock, holding down what i need to hold down while he works on what he needs to do, etc. it’s not just what my partner needs to; it’s a mirror. i do these same things back to him; which is how you avoid emotional fatigue in a relationship. romantic love isn’t even on my radar. respect is the only thing on my radar cuz that’s plausible on all fronts in all types of relationships.

i’m sorry if this is confusing but this is as much that i’m willing to explain through the medium of Text. i already know that half of my intended meaning has been lost which is my fault for the inability to express myself clearly. but this is the highest level that i am able to tell you my thoughts & feelings on these subjects ☺️☺️

MORE THAN ONE WAY TO PROTEST: OSU Players Threaten Not To Play After Coach BOLDLY Posted Himself In Right Wing Media Tee + Coach Apologizes, Makes Amends With Players

OSU players aren’t tolerating any racism or right wing hate spewing, especially not from their head coach Mike Gundy. The players threatened to NOT play after a picture of their coach was posted online wearing a pro-Trump OAN t-shirt. Now, the coach is singing a different tune.

We stan young, black and WOKE college students. Even moreso that they’re college football players using their power to shake the table since they're smart enough to know the power they hold.

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy sparked controversy when a picture of him wearing an OAN t-shirt while fishing at Lake Texoma was posted on social media.

OAN stands for One America News Network, which is a right-wing conspiracy news network - which airs on AWE cable network and elsewere - that is heavily and unapologetically in favor with America’s sitting president, founded by Robert Herring, Sr. And apparently, this isn’t the first time he supported the network that promotes & praises Trump multiple times a day while dragging up conspiracy theories and negative news about any Democrat, especially people of color.

Some added context to this: Gundy in the past has praised OAN for its reporting. He said this of the network in April via @jacobunruh https://t.co/8mVXiXDYQH pic.twitter.com/4FtJK94CWN

The t-shirt made several black OSU players feel a way, so they decided to do something about it.  Thankfully, they're aware enough of off-hand news networks to know they need to speak up about this one in particular.

OSU stars Chuba Hubbard (the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2019 and a 2020 Heisman candidate) and Amen Ogbongbemiga were outraged by their coach’s actions and threatened to NOT play “until things changed.”

”I will not stand for this.. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE,” Chuba tweeted.

— Chuba Hubbard (@Hubbard_RMN) June 15, 2020

”I stand with him!,” Amen responded to his tweet.

I stand with him! https://t.co/WWOs2ALxml

— Amen Ogbongbemiga (@closedprayer) June 15, 2020

If you don't know college football, understand this was the equivalent of throwing down the gauntlet.  Chuba is one of their star players, set to indeed enter the NFL draft in about a year.  So this threat came with plenty to lose.

OSU lineman Tevin Jenkins spoke out to show he’s standing in solidarity with them as well:

As an O-line we stand and support Chuba https://t.co/5zau9yTpCF

— maybe: tev (@TevenJenkins) June 15, 2020

Coach Mike Gundy met with some of his players “and realized it’s a very sensitive issue with what’s going on in today’s society.” He said he was looking forward to “making some changes” in a video with Chuba.

Check it:

Change is coming I promise you that. pic.twitter.com/wTGHtByh3N

— Chuba Hubbard (@Hubbard_RMN) June 15, 2020

Many other players and students chimed in on Twitter, and it seemed there were MUCH deeper issues with his charscter than just this shirt, which seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back.  Another player brought up a time Gundy told teammates that he was going to run them back to the ghett they came from.

Coach Gundy released an apology video of his own a day after Chuba’s tweet:

pic.twitter.com/x4mjK6v3UV

— Mike Gundy (@CoachGundy) June 16, 2020

Before Coach Gundy posted his apology, Chuba posted some tweets to double down on calling out Gundy and said that he needed to hold him accountable. He called him out amid nationwide protests against police brutality, racism and social injustice.

By voicing our opinion we are happy to have came to a conclusion and opened a gateway to create some serious CHANGE around Oklahoma State. My teammates and I have all agreed we will go ahead and resume all workouts and activities. We’re all in this together

— Amen Ogbongbemiga (@closedprayer) June 15, 2020

”By voicing our opinion we are happy to have came to a conclusion and opened a gateway to create some serious CHANGE around Oklahoma State. My teammates and I have all agreed we will go ahead and resume all workouts and activities. We’re all in this together,” Amen tweeted.

Loves it. THIS is surely another way of protesting to have your voice heard.

After Coach Gundy posted his apology, which, again, is a HUGE deal from a Big 12 coach, OSU alum and former basketball standout Doug Gottlieb released the players “demands” for change on Twitter. However, the demands he tweeted were the farthest from the truth. Several OSU players called him out for posting these demands that perpetuate a stereotype attached to black men.

Be careful what you say and who you listen to. The entirety of this isn’t true and depicts a bad image on us. I haven’t heard anywhere within the program that someone wants to play music that is disrespectful towards women. This isn’t the sincere objective we’re trying to achieve https://t.co/C0k3T4kDzK

— Amen Ogbongbemiga (@closedprayer) June 16, 2020

I’m not sure where you got this information but it is not even close to what was demanded of US players (yes white players too) that is changed within OUR program. You are trying to paint my black brothers in a bad light and I’m not gonna sit here in silence and let you do that https://t.co/4SfHBAdxZD

Come on kings! Glad they checked him for this!

In other news...

Someone just posted this. Seen at Manchester #BlackLivesMatter protest. Fetishing Black men is not cute. Especially given that the hypersexualisation of our bodies is often what gets us killed. pic.twitter.com/ght8t0YkhN

— No such thing as BAME (@thetwerkinggirl) June 6, 2020

We're going to need the Black Lives Matter protesters to STOP fetishizing over the sexuality of black men and black penis.  Because we ALL know....nevermind.

This is actually disgraceful. We have people gathering en masse on the streets in the middle of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC to protest and mourn the loss of black life and you’re out here talking about dick? You’re not an ally, you’re part of the problem. pic.twitter.com/QgN9EPk5qC

— Obi (@heelobi) June 7, 2020

And it's from both sides. White women are making posters expressing their love for "black d*ck" while black men are carrying around posters that ask why a white woman's family can't accept them when they love the "black d*ck."

"Your daughters love every inch of us, so why can't you?," is a question written on a black man's poster during a protest. Just, no. This ain't it, y'all.

  Hey white ladies ur “black dick matters” protest signs look v selfish and tacky btw

  fetishing black men because of your obsession with having mixed kids is weird as fuck https://t.co/oe0E0593d8

— AISHA (@ishahorton) June 7, 2020

    I hate seeing these non black women’s poster about fetishing black men.... like is that the only reason you saying black lives matter???? So you can get mixed kids???.... what about being with the movement because black men and women have been treated like crap in this country https://t.co/kOWwfKuV0y

— Tiare Santiago (@tiare_santiago) June 8, 2020

  The truth is, fetishizing Black men’s genitalia is dehumanizing and it plays into historical symbolism of the dehuminzation, emasculation & castration that happened during lynchings as black men were often only valued and objectified for their bodies and what they could do for white men's land and white women's bodies.

If you didn't know, racial fetishism is a thing. It means a person sexually fetishizes another person or culture belonging to a specific race or ethnic and it's very prevalent these days. While support is always appreciated, the fetishizing of black men isn't it.

1. Congressman Bobby Rush lashes out at Chicago cops after video surfaces of officers “lounging” in his campaign office as rioters destroyed buildings near by. STORY

2. The US dictionary Merriam-Webster is revising its definition of the word “racism” after receiving a series of emails from a young black reader. STORY

April is autism awareness month ☺

No don't get judgemental before you read. I'm not telling you our story for sympathy, for 💵 nothing.. Don't worry I won't ask for donations 😂 or assume that I am not syukur(grateful) or whatever is your own opinion or assumptions you may fill the blank yourselves ____________________. I want to CREATE AWARENESS. Simple. We are also humans, we want to feel loved,we want to get invited for weddings, parties.. But I might decline the offer if I know your house have vases that my child can potentially break. But I might also come with or without my child with asd depends on the situation really. In sunny and green 🇸🇬 I want to see all kinds of different people can get to enjoy playgrounds, gardens, parks, malls, amusement parks.. It's all so nice here in Singapore.. It's a shame at times we don't get to enjoy these facilities as I get so phobia of crowded places. Yesa I get critisized before for being a mom who doesn't discipline or teach her son. And I don't even go out daily with my asd 7 yo. If it's a need then I do go out with him yes such as getting food, run errands and to send to the lobby to wait for Mr eng the friendly bus driver to send him to a sped school. I can quite confidently go out alone with him if it's his daily routine and if I already pre-empt him many many times and remind him like 50x with visuals. My child cannot do things that neurotypical kids can do naturally like imitate you talking on the phone. They need to be taught from step one to 10 with visuals for eg. And as for my kid maybe he will get it aft one year of while for neurotypical kids they got it in a day. Of course we don't focus on stuff he can't do but what he can do LA. So Do U get what I am trying to let you know here? They need special attention that's why they are called special needs. I'm not saying you have to give way everytime. We just want you to accept people like him. Let your kids play with him at the playground .don't tell your kids to avoid him just coz he doesn't respond to your kid. Don't look at him like he's from another planet or comment that he's cray cray. He's just a lil different thats all.. But he also need friends.. He Just doesn't know how to make friends. He will know eventually.if you don't know about him u can ask me an adult on why he's like that. He don't ask to be born like that.. So instead of Tsk Tsk in a loud tone, just approach and ask me if you are curios about him. We are actually proud to have an asd kid as there's so many strategies to learn.. And the experience itself.. Taught us to be tolerant of others,non judgemental meaning before u judge a person from afar u began to stop and really think POSITIVE things about the person altho that person may seem like a rude person or whatever negative person you think he or she is. Whatever it is, do invite us for parties, weddings or whatever occasions we want to be included. We might decline ur invitation or we might go depends on the situation. :)
