yknow i wassss gonna gut the cinderheart reincarnation plotline for razorverse because of how clumsy and insidious the original was… but i have been playing pokemon rejuvenation and now i sorta wanna take influence from that game’s reincarnation plot. where the reincarnation is actually a curse that is detrimental to both cinders and has damaging psychological effects on everyone involved

I need advice.

I’m a white intern working in a mostly white southern(ish) high school. Students of Color number at under 2%, perhaps even lower. It’s a very white, rural community - I grew up in a fairly mixed, suburban northern community, and part of my family is Black.

Several of my white students say rude things to my Students of Color. I’ve told them to knock it off *as appropriately as I can* but I’m probably one of the few adults that actively discourage that behavior.

I don’t want to let this shit fly under the radar, but I also know that if an adult of authority *who will only be here for a couple more weeks* interferes, and then doesn’t stick around, it could make things worse. Additionally, I know these kids are probably very very very used to this ‘system’ and that making a short-term change could be more harmful than helpful.

I asked one of my senior students after a very racist incident *where she was laughing along with the perpetrator but I told him to stop anyway* that I can move him, or her, so she could be more comfortable (admin either does nothing or slaps wrists, especially for seniors). She said it was fine and that he was always like that.

I must emphasize, I think they were bantering (they talk so much I think they consider each other friends?), but it was also wayyy fucking out of line, especially in a school setting. And the guy says so much out of line shit I’m surprised he isn’t rocking a full set of dentures to replace the teeth he ought to have lost by now.

Another student took me up on my offer to move people, but I ended up moving him, which sucks because he was the victim in this situation. Unfortunately, I have to keep his aggressors in their spots, as they are highly rowdy in all the ways and require a lot more supervision than he did. And the class is really full. These were also all freshmen, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that affected the victim’s reaction.

So I’d really appreciate advice as to whether I should let it be, or continue as is, or step it up even more, from People of Color in largely white, especially rural, communities. Like any advice from current or previous educators, especially Educators of Color would be appreciated, but specifically southern/rural ones would be wonderful. I’m going to talk to my family members about it, but they’ve lived in more Northern settings their entire lives and they may have less … applicable (?) experience to the situation.

Again, I’m an intern, I’m going to only be there until winter break 2024, and I don’t want to fuck things up for these kids in the long run with my northern ally ‘sensibilities’. Thank you!

So random so niche but one thing that always irks me about sxf is the way that no one took in Yor and Yuri after their parents died. I’m nitpicking but really it’s such an insane detail to me because it logically doesn’t make any send and I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing but I just cannot mentally imagine two children being left alone after their parents died. That don’t sit right with my West Indian soul like nah.

I get Twilight’s situation, both of parents died in a bombing that destroyed the entire city obviously there was a lot of chaos so it’s understandable that he got lost in the midst of it. Granted I still am baffled by the idea that no one saw this 6 year old child and said hm maybe I should look after him but whatever fine. Sure times of collective distress increases the sense of community in people but fine take win but Yor???

It’s never fully confirmed how their parents died (at least not to my memory) but we do know they weren’t homeless and that Yor knew people she could ask for advice and stuff and so my question why did no one help her? They lived in the forest sure but there were other people around they should have had some neighbors even with a good amount of distance! Why would they all watch this 12/13 year old girl with her 5/6 year old brother and just say best of luck to yah. Like no wonder she got groomed into a murderer where was the community? You couldn’t even bring them breakfast and lunch? No soup kitchen? What happened to Red Cross? Salvation Army? They had a house, they went to school, they did shopping, Yor fought bears, they were active participants in the society so why were they alone in a post war society?

What happened to aunts and uncles and grandparents and great aunts and great uncles and cousins and in-laws and godparents and neighbors and social workers and i dunno the police man like how did this happen?

I absolutely adore that vintage chocolate ad that's been making the rounds and just had to do a version with Gale and my Tav, Morrigan

my across the hall neighbour is really good at cooking like 30% of a good smelling meal and then she always fucks it up by the end literally tragic

Was having thoughts about blue beetle since I’m about to make my brother watch it sometime this week, and just had a Thought. I have come to the conclusion that Jaime Reyes and Peter Parker (specifically Tom Hollands iteration, for reasons soon to be listed) would be best friends. Nerd and nerd consolidation. Khaji-Da and Karen however, would absolutely not be able to stand one another in the slightest

i know this sounds crazy but. get this.

sometimes…with visual media…you do have to actually LOOK at it. sometimes…they put Important things in the visuals (because it is visual media) that you will Miss if you’re only glancing up once a minute.

sometimes you just have to suck it up and actually WATCH the thing instead of listening to a visual medium.
