#you’re not an ally

[sanyu-thewitch05]

Non-Black “ally”: **Does something antiblack**

Black people: Can you not do that, and treat us with basic respect?

Non-Black “allies”:

“How dare you monkeys ask for basic respect? You’re supposed to be supporting us!”

“They can’t help it their culture is full of antiblackness!”

“It’s ok, (insert person). We accept your apology(even though we’re not black)!”

“Y’all are asking too much of them!”

“It’s always you Black Americans getting offended!”

*Blah, blah, blah, more racist dribble about how black people are supposed to mule for them*

Also the Non-Black “allies”:

Help! Help! Our group of people needs help! Bipoc/POC solidarity! We’ve always stood in solidarity with Black people!

Black people/me:

[adulting-sucks]

Your hypocrisy is astounding! You spoke over and made fun of plenty of POC sharing their opinions with you just because they didn’t agree with you. You’re only an ally when it suits you. Hypocrite to the max/// 💯 They really need to go eat a snickers because they’re doing the most.

Nothing is worse than an “ally” who isn’t really an ally at all. That shit is infuriating

Going from this (smug as can be)

to this (utter defeat)

is the universe giving Brennan the biggest vibe check ever

i keep seeing this “hear me out cake” trend on tiktok where people stick pictures of their hear me out characters on a cake and they’re all just *not conventionally attractive guy* *older man* *obvious monsterfucker choice* *not conventionally attractive guy* *anthropomorphic animal with attractive personality* *monster/non-human with attractive personality*

if shit on your hear me out list isn’t on the same level if not worse than like. bibble fairytopia i don’t want to hear it. i need to be physically incapable of even beginning to understand how this attraction came to be. i need to see characters who the sheer thought of kissing and/or fucking them sends me into cardiac arrest

Kevin makes a pride month post but he's so insistent that he's an ALLY that people get suspicious

Half of them are suspicious that he’s a little fruity and the other half of them are just suspicious that he’s homophobic. Here’s some ridiculous tweets that you inspired

[royalarchivist]

Missa: [Finds a book Fit wrote for Phil and stares at it in silence for a long moment]

Missa: ...Ok, Fit is talking to Philza. Should I... should I know what they're talking about? I mean, I mean no– it doesn't worry me, it doesn't worry me. I'm not a jealous guy. But maybe they've talked about this [the situation with Bad] and know something?!

Missa: It's like– it's like seeing his cellphone. No, I'm not going to read it, I'm not going to read it. No no no, no. It's like looking at his cellphone, no!

Kevin being an accidental wingman for both andreil and jerejean will never be not funny. Kevin Day the best ally. It’s the LGBTQ+KD community now

the LGBTQ+KD community LMAO it’s literally this dynamic

so many people posting gifs of punching nazis and ripping up their flags. i wonder what they will do when they realize that in order to fight nazis - whose core guiding philosophy above all else is antisemitism - you have to fight alongside people who call themselves zionists.

people on this site really will straight up say “why should i listen to lesbians or care about lesbophobia when it does not materially impact my life”

The indomitable urge to do a rewrite of S3 where Valtor becomes a girldad to the Trix rather than a love interest. Also, the Trix aren’t nerfed.

When I first heard this line, I thought bravado, much. But later I got it and it makes me so emotional.

Imagine this is the persona you have to present to the world. What does it do to an individual? To not feel fear is to not be human. It stems from the same nonsense as feeling you can’t say sorry.

Of course, this is an act; maybe a fragmentation and the outcome of a compartmentalised mind. Ed might possibly believe it sometimes. But where does the facade end and the real person begin? Does the body even know? The mind? What is the damage of living such a lie, day in, day out? And the irony being that Ed is, understandably, one of the most frightened people there is. Scared of his unmoored self, scared of being utterly unlovable. Scared of spiders, even. He attempts to become desensitised to the last one because he feels he can do something about it, but then covers the tattoo to shield himself from the fear. Because when there’s trauma, all fears often have the same intensity. And if Ed can’t even face spiders, what hope is there of facing something far scarier - himself.

Ed builds a mind-forged cage and identity partly so as not to face the fear he doesn’t dare feel. Then he unintentionally feels it whilst Stede’s present and survives, believing later he is safe to drop his defences entirely because there is someone to share the load; to catch him if necessary. But when Ed next feels it, fully and alone, and despite trying desperately to put the fences back up, it kills him.

In the gravy basket, when Ed hears Stede’s words - ‘you’re safe’ - he knows he has a friend again in facing his fears, and that he might dare to live. That he might dare believe he’s able to be loved.

Stede isn’t the entire answer, but he’s an important part of it; he is amongst other things, a wonderful ally in supporting Ed in the healing he needs to do. Stede is Ed’s chief spider-catcher and his soft place to fall.

i love that, no matter how chaotic and silly beardsley plays kristen, kristen is just a kind person at the end of everything.

like, freshman year kristen is still in there, and she’s experienced trauma and growth that’s literally changed her worldview and she’s still going through a lot, obviously.

but through all of it, she has never stopped being kind and i think ally has really showcased that this season, particularly with them using spare the dying to help lay lucy and yolanda’s souls rest.

i thought it was a nice touch to remind people that kristen is still someone that’s lost everything and is reacting to it in a pretty rightful and teenagery way, while also still staying true to who she is.

TotK DLC idea!

The screen is black. You don’t hear anything for a long time. Then, faintly, in the distance, you can hear it.

Link. Link. Open your eyes.

While the line echoes familiarity, the voice does not.

Or. Well. It does. Because while it isn’t Zelda, it’s a familiar man’s voice speaking gently, so gently you almost don’t recognize it because there’s no way he ever spoke like this in the main game.

But he is now. And instead of a golden light being the first image you see before the screen shows Link awakening… you see gloom floating in the air. The image cuts to a Hylian waking up who… doesn’t look like Link from TotK?? He’s different, still small in stature, with slightly tanner skin, platinum light blonde hair, and red eyes. But… something’s wrong with his forehead. There’s a weird line on it.

This new character you apparently are gonna be playing in the DLC blearily blinks his eyes open, clearly groggy and too weak to really move. But then that line on his forehead moves a hair, it splits apart, and you realize it’s a freaking eye, red and yellow and it’s like the ones on gloom hands and oh gosh what the hell is it doing on his forehead—

Link realizes something is off and his eyes blow wide, his hands reach for his forehead and he screams in agony and terror, only for someone to scoop him into a hug to soothe him.

And suddenly you realize why that voice was eerily familiar.

It’s Ganondorf. He resurrected you from the era of the Imprisoning War. You, who have a history with him and his family. You, who he wants to protect, who he views as his kid, who he calls a prince and says he’ll keep you safe by controlling your body with his dark magic if he has to.

Welcome to Tears of the Kingdom: Hero’s Shadow.

You have to play a long gone Hero who was resurrected. Ganondorf, who is still recovering his strength in preparation for killing the current Hero, tasks you with finding your betrothed, his daughter, as well as his wife. They’re buried somewhere in the Depths like you were. He wants you to find their burial sites so he can use his secret stone to resurrect them like he did you, and control them as well. Which is doubly bad when you realize his wife was the original Sage of Lightning. He gives you free reign to wander once you go through a tutorial (he tests you to see if you’ve recovered enough strength), because he knows you love wandering and collecting things. Your own personal objective, however, is trying to help Hyrule from the Depths, to break free from Ganondorf’s control, because Link would rather set himself on fire than let Ganondorf resurrect and control the love of his life and his mother-in-law. Your best hope is to find shards of the shattered Master Sword to try and stab the eye on Dark Link’s forehead and break the control Ganondorf has on you. Until you can, though, the monsters are your allies, you can teleport across the Depths by manifesting out of the gloom created by gloom hands (just like what Phantom Ganon does), and the world below is your oyster. If you get too close to sword shards when gloom hands are nearby, Ganondorf can see your attempt and immediately takes control of your body, and no matter what button you press Link just walks back to Ganondorf’s location and stays there until you get a chance to try again.

You start with three hearts, all empty looking like when gloom hurts you, and if you get injured they just shatter. Whenever they all shatter, you respawn at Ganondorf’s location because his gloom hands came and rescued you from dying. The only way you can get more hearts is by collecting poes and offering them to the statues in the Depths. You can communicate with the spirits of soldiers, who may give you combat tips or info about the area. If you gain enough of Ganondorf’s trust, he’ll let you command monsters, and he might even let you wander the Surface (under his supervision) during a blood moon.

You learn of Link’s and Ganondorf’s history through discovering ancient relics/texts that trigger memories. This connection between you and Ganondorf stems back to time before the war, well over ten thousand years ago. Link was engaged to Ganondorf’s daughter, but during the Imprisoning War the family fought against the demon king. Ganondorf did love his family, but he loved power more. Link sacrificed himself, letting himself get mortally wounded to save Rauru from a killing blow. Gan held him as he died, and it allowed Link to both beg him to stop and stab him in the heart with a light shard. The shard didn’t kill him, but it was what Rauru connected with when he hit him in the chest, allowing him to seal Ganondorf away. Ganondorf still wants the world, but his love for his family is still present, though now twisted, so he thinks he can control Link and everyone else with his dark magic in order to keep them safe and in line. Once the threat of the current Hero is eliminated, the world will be his, and his family will be safe. As such, he treats you, Link, the player, like a stubborn child, reeling you in, but does so in a horrific way, torturing Link by controlling him.

You have to break free of this and stop him, and the only hope you have is the distant call of a sword spirit…
