I just found this blog so I'm jumping aboard the plushie bandwagon.
First we got Absol. (i feel like maybe i should've taken a closer-up picture but it's the face sooo)
Tumblr media
Then a Wooloo
Tumblr media
And, saving best for last, this Leafeon plush I own... of which I swear on my life is official merch.
Tumblr media
I also have some more eeveelutions (plus an eevee and a few more) but: 1. I didn't want to send too many. 2. Eeveelutions are more popular so I wanted to give some other people the chance to submit their own. 3. I don't know where my Pikachu and Snivy plushies are cuz I own too many stuffed animals.
Only reason I submitted Leafeon was so I could show off this ~masterpiece~ of a plushie I own. And it's face isn't the only thing wrong with it too lol. Also I just noticed I accidentally had one of the ears hanging back but I'm too lazy to go take another photo but i hope this amuses you nonetheless.
ALRIGHT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF YOU AS I'VE BEEN OUT WITH MY FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS HUH
let's start with these guys. beautiful. wonderful. i do not believe that that leafeon is official merch. this statement is baffling to me. welcome to the front-facing pokรฉmon family. i love the eyes on that absol and wooloo is one of my faves. i was rather obsessed with it when it first came out and have a whole wooloo tag on my main blog because of it. though i guess i cleared that whole thing out recently so i don't anymore
let's get the nose ratings out of the way:
Tumblr media
โ†‘ this is a lie. 10/10 chespin
Tumblr media
it's very wide and also 10/10 you're being too harsh. merry day to you too
Tumblr media
circular face indeed. did i already post this one? if i did you can have it again
Tumblr media
clodsire be upon ye. clodsire fans this is your treat until gen 9
Tumblr media
this is a trend now. i think tumblr just crunched this image to hell for some reason so here's what the text says:
"Felt like joining the others for front facing pokeplushies [images] I have more pokemon but its early morning and these are the plushies that are easy to access"
Tumblr media
i have not but i imagine "a moment" has long passed by now. my apologies but apparently today was an important day or something? idk
Tumblr media
YEAH it's super unbelievably fucked up. i think i kinda remember the circumstance being a bit dire so everyone else was more worried about either 1. protagonist getting stomped on brutally or 2. saving the world from kyurem / the bittercold. i was totally under the impression that he was dead in that moment but i guess the characters may have known that he would just come back? i seem to vaguely remember partner being surprised that he came back and being like "but we watched you die :OOO" but maybe i'm misremembering that. i do create a lot of pmd lore on my own time so i have a hard time telling the difference between canon and fanon sometimes
Tumblr media
two a day makes the world go round! this blog started when i started college, paused for 80% of my college career and now has started back up and i just graduated college a week ago. i would say "how time flies" but it has been a very, very long year
Tumblr media
i've said it before and i'll say it again: gen 6 is my favorite gen, so you'll be seeing lots of favor for this gen from me in the tags i'm sure. maybe gen 6 is my excuse to start doing other things here. like that stream i keep talking about
Tumblr media
if they put meloetta as a little obscure puzzle thang in sv, i'm sure they'll do something for genesect. i hope. at least for keldeo probably. genesect i'm not sure is very popular, unfortunately, outside of the tumblr crowd. if the general public's opinion on genesect is favorable, then maybe
okay and then i tried to scroll down further in my screenshots for more asks and saw the wobbly will smith in a hospital bed Gimme a Hug, Man that i copied from the "i get a little bit genghis kanghis" post so that's it. to everyone who christmases: merry it. it is today. although it's basically over by now so! merry boxing day for tomorrow if i don't say anything tomorrow. but i probably will. now i'm gonna go queue up today's 'mons because i haven't done it yet today. see you all in a few weeks when those post

It's Fictional Throwdown Friday!
This Week's Fighters...
Homelander vs Papyrus!
Conditions:
Fight takes place in Snowdin, roughly where Papyrus's boss fight happens. TV Show Homelander is used.
Scenario:
After the monsters escape from the Underground, Vought Industries sets up a Pro Monster rally as a PR move, planning to have Homelander give a speech welcoming the monsters back to the surface. Homelander's smug, condescending attitude behind the scenes makes everyone uncomfortable and Papyrus tells him to stop being rude, pissing Homelander off.
A few days later, Papyrus is packing up the last few things he plans to bring to the surface when Homelander bursts through the wall. Homelander smugly explains he intends to massacre Snowdin and turn the tragedy into a PR stunt to boost Vought's image in the public eye. He claims this whole thing is Papyrus's fault for not "respecting" him. Papyrus tries to give him a "you're better than you think you are" speech but a bewildered Homelander just laughs him off and destroys the house to be a dick. This convinces Papyrus fight to try and fight him into submission.
Analysis: Homelander
(TW: Mentions of rape, ableism, and nazism)
Let's all just take a minute to appreciate Superman. He is compassionate, kind, humble, and wise. Behind his godlike power and alien heritage beats a human heart and despite his own personal flaws and failings, he is ultimately just a simple man from Kansas trying to do the right thing.
Needless to say, absolutely none of that applies to Homelander. Underneath his benevolent fascade, Homelander is a vile monster who thrives on the blood of mass murder.
While Homelander's official origin story is identical to Superman's, Homelander was in truth created in a test tube by the Vought corporation. Experimented on with Compound V ever since a young age, John was never treated as anything more than a lab rat. He was raised without compassion ir empathy, created only to be a weapon and a brand. As such, when Vought made him the leader of their corporate owned superhero team The Seven, Homelander became addicted the praises of the public. His absolute adoration and unmatched power gave him a God complex and made him think he could do anything.
Homelander is considered to be the most powerful superhero in the world and it's hard to dispute that claim. His power set is superficially identical to Superman's, as he has superhuman strength, nigh invulnerability, flight, and laser eyes more than capable of saying through people and melting most metals. He even has superhuman hearing and x-ray vision, allowing him to hear people from dozens of meters away and see through walls.
His strength is so immense that he can effortlessly through a baseball into space and down an airplane with a football. As the most powerful superhuman on Earth, Homelander should logically be far stronger than Naqib, who could create an explosion with 0.10 tons of force behind it.
Source:
His speed is similarly impressive. As a child, Homelander was already capable of breaking the sound barrier, but as an adult, he can outrun c4 explosions, moving 4x faster than the speed of sound.
All of this pales in comparison to his immense durability however. The only thing we have ever seen hurt Homelander is a 3 kiloton explosion that destroyed an entire building. However, seeing as Homelander has never been hurt by anyone or anything else, I cannot claim he is capable of punching this hard.
Source:
However, all this immense power has it's drawbacks. Homelander has never had to actually try in a fight before. His durability is so much higher than anything anyone in the setting can do to him that he can effortlessly tank any attack thrown his way. Whenever he's made to fight, Homelander just lazily lasers everyone he sees, not even bothering to dodge. This reflects his complete apathy to everyone and everything around him. If you're not a superhero or one of his loyal fans, he couldn't give two shits about you.
Once you realize that, a lot of Homelander's evil makes sense. He's motivated solely by headonism and his own PR, with even his own son being nothing more than an excuse to stroke his own ego. Whether he's raping an innocent woman, murdering thousands of innocent people, dating a Nazi, or crippling a blind superhero for life by smashing his eardrums, Homelander only does it either for his own entertainment or because he believes it will boost his image somehow. He would've slaughtered humanity a long time ago if he didn't desperately crave their admiration. Homelander is almost as evil as Superman is good.
As a result of this mindset, Homelander is in his element when manipulating people. His spotless image his grossly contrasted by his monsterous personality and he leverages that every chance he gets, frequently spinning his murders and mistakes in ways that boost his reputation.
At the end of the day, Homelander is your typical vile celebrity with good PR. The only difference between him and Chris Pratt is Homelander could and would happily kill millions the second he decided it could boost his image. You could not find a greater personification of upper class evil.
Analysis: Papyrus
While Homelander's ego came as a result of his fame and power, his competition developed an ego through sheer force of optimism. The Great Papyrus is an aspiring royal guardsman and self proclaimed puzzle master who resides in the town of Snowdin, having been sealed away underground alongside the rest of monster kind long ago.
Papyrus aspires to capture a human so he dan join the royal guard snd get the popularity he feels he deserves. Despite this however, you likely couldn't find a more optimistic soul in the Underground. With his neverending confidence, he insists it's only a matter of time before he makes a name for himself. And when looking at what he's capable of, he's not entirely wrong.
Despite his goofy demeanor, Papyrus is a capable combatant. Like all monsters, he attacks both the body and soul simultaneously with every hit, ignoring traditional durability. You'd be hard pressed to come out from a fight with him with your soul unscathed given the wide variety of bone attacks and projectiles he can throw your way. Varieties include Blue Mode and Blue Attacks. The former adds gravity to his enemies soul, forcibly pinning them to the ground and the later only hurts his enemy when their moving, forcing them to stand still to avoid damage.
His skill with these techniques is so great that he even managed to impress Undyne, Captain of the Royal Guard herself. The only reason she hasn't made him a guardsmen is because he's ultimately to nice for the role, which brings us to his weaknesses.
Papyrus will never willingly kill someone. His self restraint is so great he completely refuses to kill Frisk, managing to avoid killing them even when Toriel couldn't. He's overwhelming optimistic and self confident, which results in him frequently over estimating his abilites and seeing goodness in people that simply isn't there. This mixes badly when considering how weak monsters are against killing intent, as any blow landed with serious intent to kill him will be devastating, potentially even fatal if his guard is down.
Thankfully, Papyrus is superhuman enough to negate this. Seeing how he can hurt Frisk on both a spiritual and physical level, he should be capable of outputting the 0.024 tons needed to harm them.
Source:
This is consistent with him being comparable to Undyne, as even she considers him to be incredibly tough. Similarly, he should scale above Tsunderplane for similar reasons, who can move at Mach 4 when fighting Frisk.
Source:
At the end of the day, Papyrus has what it takes to become a royal guardsman and the unrelenting optimism needed to get him there... eventually.
Throwdown Theme:
youtube
Both of these characters are attacking the other where they're weakest. Papyrus's soul manipulation renders Homelander's durability a completely moot point, as John has never tanked such an attack before. By contrast, Homelander's high LV, massive killing intent, and greater attack potency would assuredly allow him to one shot Papyrus. Both of these fighters could take each other out with one blow easily. While Papyrus would never kill in character, he doesn't know that one bone would kill Homelander.
This fight depends on what Homelander does first. While it's entirely in character for him to role his eyes and shot a laser through Pap's skull, it's also in character for Homelander to smugly tank the blow, not realizing it could kill him.
Given how goofy Papyrus is, I'm betting on the latter. Homelander isn't going to think someone like Papyrus could hurt him and would mockingly shrug in faux terror as Papyrus threw a wave of bones at him... only to slump over dead like a sack of potatoes when one hits him because his soul was destroyed.
Having said that, both have other advantages here. On the one hand, Homelander would easily be capable of manipulating Papyrus thanks to Paps optimism and gullibility. On the other hand, I see Blue Mode easily countering Homelander's flight, as while John is generally stronger than Papyrus, I haven't seen anything to suggest he could resist getting pinned down by his soul. The issue once again being that I just don't see Homelander opening with manipulation. Nor do I see the fight lasting long enough for him to consider switching approaches. Papyrus's Blue Mode is slightly more relevant, as it would keep John from just flying over Papyrus's attacks so Homelander choose to do that, which is admittedly possible.
To put the final nail in the coffin, Papyrus is slightly faster. Homelander is casually Mach 4 while Papyrus scales as faster than people on that exact same level, so even if Homelander opens up with lasers, Paps may still beat him to the punch.
Overall, Homelander's overconfidence screws him here. He has all the right tools to exploit Papyrus's weaknesses, but he won't use them before Papyrus sticks a bone in him.
This Throwdown's Winner is...
Tumblr media
Papyrus!

A Response to a Feyre Anti
I made a post recently explaining the dread of having to watch Feyre be abused by her sisters and father, in the Tv adaption. And a Feyre anti made a response, to something that should not be criticized at all considering what I said was just the truth? Feyre was abused. Not only that but they went on and completely twisted the narrative to fit their own ideas and in the process made Feyre out to be cruel and Nesta a saint. complete bull.
I will not be tagging the anti bc they have me blocked (shocker), but also I do not want anyone to go after them, if you come across the post, I don't want it to be through me. it's as much respect I can give to them.
I usually do not respond to those who have something to say with a post of mine or are blatantly talking about me on their blog, unless they're just spreading absolute lies about me or what i "said", it's usually a waste of time to do so. but this post attacked Feyre with outrageous lies and a complete backward interpretation of what actually happened in acotar, so as respectful as I can be, I will be analyzing the anti-response and what truly happened in acotar.
"the audience will only see two sisters fighting-not abuse" "itโ€™s not Nesta you need to worry about. Itโ€™s audiences calling Feyre a big dumbass and a bitch" -from anti
if the audience has basic human compassion and empathy for humans IRL or fictional, they will see what's obvious from the start. Feyres abuse. how is it going to look, when they see Feyre walking through the woods, shaking from the cold, starving from hunger, and struggling to find food for her family? only to later see Nesta's treatment of Feyre?"
Tumblr media
in the anti's post, they said Feyre was just as "heinous" to Nesta.
is Feyre the one calling Nesta a pig? a smelly pig? ordering her to take her clothes off?
no, it's not, it's dear Nesta. the text goes as "I took my time, swallowing the words I wanted to bark at her" oh yes... how cruel of Feyre. how heinous of Feyre to...stay quiet... at the verbal abuse.
in the same image we see Feyre ask Nesta to do something (kindly might I add) and then inquire why she didn't chop wood like she needs to.
what does Nesta do? acts like a brat and insults Feyre...once again.
considering I'm going off by the story and not the actual screenplay, and assuming they stay true to the story; will the audience not be disgusted by Nesta's behavior? I mean they just saw Feyre struggle to find food and they expect Feyre to go home to a family happy and appreciative of Feyre but instead, they get this familial abuse.
Tumblr media
the anti said Feyre basically tells Nesta this:
"If you keep bitching at everyone like this no one will want to be around you or you canโ€™t marry this guy because youโ€™re a waste of space to me"
but what do we see?
"Believe me... the day you want to marry someone worthy, I'll march up to his house and hand you over. But you're not going to marry Tomas."
the word worthy, did that not catch your eye? Feyre said Nesta will have to marry someone worthy, someone, who will treat Nesta kindly and give her the life Feyre thinks her sisters deserve. bc Feyre does think that IDK why anti feyres think Feyre despised Nesta so much, Feyre loved her sisters.
what the anti fails to realize here is that Nesta marrying Tomas would have been actually pretty great for Feyre. in the sense that, Feyre would no longer carry the burden of her sister. Feyre would not have to worry about feeding one more mouth. or worrying about Nesta's constant stealing of Feyre's money. Feyre does not think Nesta is a "waste of space" to her, if she did, it would have been easy for Feyre to discard Nesta, and allow her to marry Tomas. the anti has that twisted.
but that is not even the worst part of the scene. did you see the shameless slut-shaming that came out of Nesta's mouth? how will the audience take to that? do you think most of the younger generation will take it lightly to see a sister slut-shame a sister? a woman putting down another woman? in this social climate? where the feminism movement is alive and flourishing. will they be okay with it? will they still blame Feyre and be mad at her the way the anti says they will be? I hope not otherwise I'm losing faith in humanity.
Tumblr media
Lovely words Nesta spews at Feyre. I admit Feyre should have told her then and there that Tomas is abusive. but let's think: Feyre is 19 years old, the youngest, has never had any raising by a parental figure, has been neglected by her whole family, where would Feyre learn to calmly talk to an overgrown brat like Nesta? Feyre telling Nesta who Tomas truly is the duty of a parent, not a sister. I will not condemn Feyre for not knowing that was the perfect time to tell Nesta who Tomas is. especially when Feyre is being tormented and verbally/emotionally abused, its kinda hard to think about something else while you're being told all these horrible words. to us its easy to see where Feyre went wrong but unless you're in the exact position Feyre was in. no one has any room to talk. and even then, every person is different in situations like these.
this part was me analyzing the interactions between Feyre and Nesta since anti had reasons to believe Feyre was just as bad to Nesta and that the audience would see that and hate Feyre. I am now going to respond to the second part of the Feyre Anti's response.
"How will an audience of non-fans react to her not reaching out to her family to tell them she was okay after the reconciliation between her and Nesta? Or not inviting them to the wedding?"- from anti
moving onto acomaf now.
Idk maybe the audience will see Feyre, a depressed, lonely, individual in an abusive relationship while being manipulated by other individuals she called friends, and understand and empathize with her. all throughout the beginning and half of acomaf, Feyre is in critical depression. she wholeheartedly believes she should not be alive. that she is not worthy. she doesn't eat, all she does is sleep, self-care is not important to her or others so why would letting a family know she's okay, a family who BARELY ever cared about her, be a priority? it doesn't seem like Nesta or elain or her father was really fazed by Feyre's lack of communication. her father left on a trip, elain got engaged and Nesta, well we didn't see a tearful welcoming to Feyre on Nesta's part did we?
anti, where is the outcry of her "family" not even really caring if Feyre was safe or not, of what happened to her? it's not like they thought she had died, otherwise, where was the mourning or funeral? no, they just didn't care.
see this is where I know when anti is just full of bullshit. why, WHY, would Feyre invite her family to wedding full of fae? the creatures elain and Nesta fear and hate? for all the talk many anti's spew about Feyre being inconsiderate to Nesta, to her family, you would think Feyre maybe just knows a fae wedding would be the last thing they would want? even then, does Feyre owe them an invitation to her wedding? does she owe them an update on her life? nope. Feyre owed them nothing.
"How about her shit-talking Nesta to a bunch of strangers then having the audacity to ask her to get involved in a war. Oh! This is after she comes into her house and insults their hospitality." - from anti
I hardly think Feyre confiding in individuals who she learned to care about and laying out all the trauma Feyre endured with her family is "shit-talking" but for argument's sake, let's say it is. I still don't see what's wrong? after years of pent-up anger and hurt, would you not let go of everything you withheld inside and explain what was done to you? how you felt? Feyre telling the IC her life story, which contains Nesta's abuse and her family's neglect, was a form of therapy for Feyre. I never read a line where Feyre calls Nesta a "cold-hearted bitch" or called elain "a lazy ditz" she just said the truth. no added embellishments. Cassian was the one who shit-talked Nesta during the dinner scene, never Feyre.
I still don't understand why antis are so against Feyre asking her sisters for help? like the war didn't involve them? they're humans, and you know what the war was about? Hybern wanting to take control of the human lands like they once did and turn them into slaves. those humans included Nesta and elain.
"They could have left the continent" correct, except elain was engaged and refused to leave Grayson. which meant Nesta refused to leave elain. but even so, isn't it the duty of humans to band together and work to overthrow a race of people who want to torture and keep them as slaves? the queens certainly weren't doing their jobs. Feyre asked to use "their" house to meet the queens bc where else would they do it? the queens trust the fae less than Nesta or elain did. but even so, Feyre asking to use their house was a courtesy, that house is rightfully Feyre's. she is the one who sacrificed herself to leave with Tamlin. she did it bravely, courageously, and they got that house thanks to her. they owed Feyre everything. and the only one who acknowledged that was Elain.
that war involved elain and Nesta whether they or Feyre or the anti's liked it or not. not even considering that Nesta and elain are Feyre Archerons sisters, yeah, their family name alone puts a target on their back.
How did Feyre or the court insult Elain's and Nesta's hospitality? You mean when Feyre realized human food differed from fae food? something she did not know about bc she's barely been turned to fae and only had eaten fae dishes? Feyre's grimace towards the human food was an involuntary reaction to someone who is still learning their new body. or was it when Cassian called out Nesta for her cold treatment towards Feyre? if that's the case then fuck decency, I would call out a fake bitch in my presence from minute one. you cant call what Nesta did "hospitality" when all she did was insult Feyre when she didn't even care that Feyre had died, or lost her love bc of abuse, or that her body was changed against her will.
hospitality: the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.
did y'all read something different bc this for sure was nothing Nesta gave to her guests?
----
the rest of the anti post moves towards Rhysand and his actions UTM which I won't go into because I'm mainly just addressing the false interpretations this anti had to say about Feyre and her family.
I'm not sure how to sign off now lol, but I guess just that I hope this was enough to show how this anti's arguments were completely ludicrous and have absolutely no compassion for Feyre, and instead all the compassion for Feyre's abusers. This anti had a real spin on what the actual story was, and I hope the evidence I provided was enough to show that. Anyways yeah my brain is fried, and I'm done arguing with Feyre anti's for a while now, I need to go praise my queen Feyre so I can receive some semblance of peace.
anyways, stan Feyre for clear skin xx

Memories - lrh (Chapter Eighteen)
Tumblr media
Memories (also on Wattpad)
Chapter Seventeen โ€ป โ€ป โ€ป โ€ป โ€ป Chapter Nineteen
I remember the first time I really wanted to see New York. I must have been about 12 years old and was watching a random episode of Friends that was on TV. I saw those flashes of the city between one scene and another, and I thought it was amazing, the great stone jungle.
When I turned 16, my dad gifted me with a trip to New York, not because it was my favorite place in the world, but because it was on sale. There were 10 days where the only time I stopped to rest was bedtime. We went to almost every tourist spot, took thousands of photos and it was definitely one of the best trips I've ever been on.
Now, the city that I once wanted to know and live in, like the characters in Friends, felt like a prison. I wasn't there of my own free will or for a truly irrefutable proposal. I was there out of fear and passion, the most dangerous mixture.
I believe that at some point, a few months from now, I'm going to start loving New York, but right now, I can only feel contempt.
I pass through the arrivals gate, looking at those millions of unfamiliar faces, waiting for someone. I'm looking for a sign with my name or the logo of the Hastings Agency.
I find my name in the hands of a boy a little taller than me. Dark hair and fair skin, he needs sun. In an impeccable suit, but fumbling with his cell phone and notepad.
I approach slowly, able to hear his voice, replaying a million things. He said something about waiting for me to arrive and taking me to the hotel. Something about treating me kindly and not asking questions. I stop in front of him with a sympathetic smile, watching him widen his eyes and quickly turn off his cell phone.
โ€œMiss McGonagall, welcome to New York.โ€ he takes my hand, squeezing it and shaking it quickly. โ€œI'm Edward. I will be responsible for your schedule.โ€ I can't control the smile, noticing him nervousness. In other words, he was my Noah.
โ€œHi! Yeah, you can call me Marnie, that's fine. I prefer, actually.โ€
โ€œOh! Of course.โ€ his cheeks turn pink. โ€œWell, I'll drop you off at the hotel to rest and tomorrow at 8:00 am you should be at Valentino's studio for the rehearsal of the new bag collection. At 2:45 pm you should already be at Chanel's studio, they want to take your measurements and do some color and fabric tests for the fashion show at the end of the month. Then, at 5:00 pm, you will participate in the E! podcast, and I believe that after that you will be free for the rest of the day.โ€ he passes it on to me as we head out of the airport.
โ€œOK!โ€ that's all I have to say.
โ€œSorry if I'm being nosy, but were you the one who required a lot of work for the next two months? I mean, you have a really busy schedule. If you don't want something, I can try to help.โ€ he flips through the calendar while we wait for a car.
โ€œNo! It's OK. I was the one who asked. I was down for a while and I need to get back to work.โ€ I give a slight smile, debating. "Hm, was the doctor I asked for by any chance be marked?"
โ€œYes! Wednesday at 3pm.โ€ he smiles proudly, making me smile too. Edward seems like a nice guy.
We got into a silver car and went to the hotel. Along the way, Edward answers a few calls, closing in on his tasks. I seize the moment and close myself in my own world. I get my cell phone, turning it on and seeing that tsunami of people looking for me. Missed calls, messages, dm on twitter and instagram, everyone looking for me, but not him.
I lock my cell phone, trying to focus my mind on the new beginning I sought for myself. I admire the city through the car window, trying to find a piece of home there. I feel the phone vibrate in my lap with Kyleen's name, but I just decline the call. In seconds, the screen lights up again and several messages come in, I believe they are hers, but I don't even bother to look. I have no courage.
The car stops in front of the Intercontinental, and just like that, Edward jumps out of the car.
โ€œYour loft, unfortunately, is not ready yet. So you're going to have to stay here for a few days.โ€ he explains, heading towards the reception desk.
I stand behind him, taking in the details of the hotel. Before long, I'm entering a room on the 14th floor, with a beautiful view of the city. The bags are left in the small room before the bedroom.
I smile at my new โ€œNoahโ€ showing that everything is perfect.
โ€œGood! I'll let you rest for tomorrow. Anything, these are my phones.โ€ he gives me a card. "And you can call me at any time. I live near here, I will come in a few minutes.โ€
โ€œThank you so much, Edward. You are very kind." Again, your cheeks turn pink.
As he heads for the door, I start rummaging through my bags for pajamas.
โ€œHm, sorry if I'm not being professional right now, but since I believe we'll be working together in the next few months, I imagine a good relationship is essential, so you can call me Eddie.โ€
I open an even bigger smile, seeing that Eddie was willing to make a friendship, which is perhaps the thing I need most at the moment.
โ€œThanks, Eddie!โ€ he smiles and this time he walks away, leaving me alone again.
I go back to looking for a more comfortable outfit, ignoring my cell phone blinking on the table as I muted it. I grab my clothes, heading to a shower and stay there for a long time, letting the water take everything.
When I get out of the shower, I pick up the bedroom phone, dialing my mother's number, I don't want to take the risk of answering any of my cell phone calls.
"Hello?" her lost tone makes me smile weakly.
โ€œHi Mom!โ€
โ€œHi, my love. How are you? Marnie, what's going on? Leah came here to say you left without saying goodbye. I called Luke, but he did not answer me and Noah said something about you being to move to New York, you told me it would be just a month.โ€ I cover the phone, not wanting her to hear my cry, letting the tears fall. "Marnie?"
โ€œI'm sorry, Mom.โ€ I can't control my voice and pretend it's okay.
โ€œHoney, what's going on? You can tell me. Mom will help you.โ€ I realize she wants to cry too, and that hurts me more.
โ€œI needed to do this, needed to get away from him.โ€ the revelation comes out before I can see it.
"He who? Luke? Why? I thought everything was fine.โ€ her desperate tone returns.
โ€œI'm sorry I can't talk.โ€ I close my throat, holding back tears. โ€œI just want to let you know that I arrived well and that everything is fine.โ€
โ€œFine? Marnie, just look at your voice, your condition. I saw what you did to the apartment. Honey, things aren't fine.โ€ now she was angry.
โ€œMom, please just trust me. I know what I'm doing.โ€ Do I? I clear my throat, holding back the emotion. โ€œI just wanted to call to say I got okay. Later we'll talk.โ€ I hang up the phone before she asks anything else.
I head to the bathroom, drying my hair. I notice that yesterday's anger is still in me as I can't face my image in the mirror, refusing to look deep into my eyes.
With dry hair, I go back to my room, thinking about taking a nap, since I haven't slept all night and even less on the flight. I close my eyes, trying to focus my thoughts on something else. I think about that taxi I saw earlier, trying to park. Or people crossing the street without looking at the sign. At the cookie shop I want to see.
I manage to evade Luke's, my mother's, John's, and Noah's voices, giving myself more and more to the sleep that finally came. Far away, I hear someone knocking hard on the door, but I ignore it, as I had the same thoughts yesterday morning. But I wake up when the pounding comes back stronger and Leah's voice enters the room.
โ€œMarnie Elizabeth McGonagall, open this shit now before I drop it and you know I'm capable of it.โ€ I leap out of bed, running to the door.
She canโ€™t be here.
I open the door, revealing Leah with perhaps the worst expression I've ever seen in the world. She was furious, if not more so. As she storms into my room without waiting for an invitation, I quickly look down the hall, seeing a couple look at me startled. I smile awkwardly, closing the door.
โ€œWhat are you doing here?โ€ I question, still not understanding.
"What are you doing here? And without warning anyone. Fading in the morning. Breaking up with Luke. What the fuck was that?โ€ she screams.
For a second, I see that my amnesia was an issue with my plan. By not remembering my friendship with everyone, I really believed that I just left and everything would be fine. I didn't imagine anyone would cross the country for me, to understand what was going on.
And if Leah did it, it's a matter of hours before someone else does. They weren't going to leave me alone, they weren't going to forget me, and they weren't going to let this story pass. I need to push them away, but I don't know how.
"Go on, Marnie. What the fuck is going on? And if you tell me it's a job offer, I swear I'll fly at you without pity or mercy, and I'll slap the truth out.โ€ she cross her arms.
I consider the last option a lot because I know she can do it. But I won't tell her the truth, that's not an alternative. I want to believe that if I don't back off, she'll see I'm not lying and won't attack me. And even if she tries, I just run away, I'm closer to the door and there's an armchair between us.
"But it is what it is!" I shrug.
โ€œStop it!โ€ she screams. โ€œStop lying, Marnie. Everyone. Everyone knows you're lying, so why don't you tell the truth?โ€ she waves her hands through the air.
โ€œBecause there's no other truth, Leah. Will I have to draw it for you?โ€ I make the same moves she does.
โ€œBe my guest!โ€ she sits on the couch. I sigh wearily. I haven't slept for hours, I'm angry with myself and the world and now that I thought the situation was resolved and I just had to go on with my life, she comes and messes everything up.
โ€œWhy are you here?โ€ I stay upright.
โ€œI do not know! It must be cause you went crazy and disappeared without saying anything. Didn't answer my calls, no one had any answers about what was going on. So I took my father's jet and came to resolve this situation and I don't leave here without an answer at least.โ€
In the same way I laugh at Noah, I laugh at her, thinking it will fix everything. Leah carries the same expression as her brother, neutral, mocking.
โ€œWhy did you break up with Luke?โ€ she asks quietly.
The mention of his name makes me shiver. I notice how my stomach turns and try to ignore it. I wonder if I can subtly extract some information from his state, but I don't want her to think I still care about him.
"Cause I wasn't in the mood anymore." I shrug, walking through space.
โ€œMy God, you've actually lied better.โ€ I glare at her. โ€œYou know you're in trouble here, I know you better than anyone. I know you are lying and that you are going through some difficult situation. I even have my theories. So you're going to have to work a lot harder to trick me or get me out of here.โ€ she cracks a smile, feeling victorious.
"Oh do you have? What are your theories?โ€ I mock her.
โ€œThe first is that you really freaked out with amnesia and you can't handle it. The second is that you can't handle your feelings about Luke, it happened once before. And the third is that someone put some shit in your head and made you believe that everything would be better if you were out of the way.โ€ I feel her gaze burning into me, looking for any reaction.
I let out a laugh, not forced, nervous that she got it right. Leah raises an eyebrow.
โ€œYou really traveled on your theories. Sorry, none are right.โ€
As if by magic, the answer appears to me. The only way I was going to get rid of everyone and go through with the plan without a hitch was to make her hate me. Make everyone hate me, just like I did Luke.
Just considering their hate for me makes my heart ache. But I need to do this. For Luke. For the boys. It's for their success.
โ€œYou know, a few months ago you were asked to be in a movie and you didn't take it cause you said you were a terrible actress. Isn't that right?โ€ she gets up again. โ€œNoah told me you said you were doing this for Luke, because you loved him. Marnie, what are you trying to hide?โ€ she comes closer.
I feel dirty because of the attitude I'm going to take. It's low, very low, but I need her to hate me.
"Look who talks about hiding." I give a cynical laugh. Leah looks at me confused. "Don't you have anything to tell too?" she still doesn't understand. โ€œYou and Kyleen?โ€
Hastings freezes. The bitter taste of my act starts to fill my mouth. Iโ€™m sorry, Leah. Iโ€™m so sorry.
โ€œHow do you know?โ€ she takes a step back.
"Who do you think closed the bathroom door on Ash's birthday?" I raise my eyebrows.
โ€œIs not the same thing.โ€
โ€œIt isnโ€™t? Aren't you hiding something from all of us?โ€ I force a smile like hers a few minutes ago.
โ€œNo! Cause I'm not pushing everyone away, I'm not telling lies. And if you asked me, I would tell you the truth. Deep down, you know why I didn't say anything. You know my dad hasn't accepted Noah yet, that this is a problem in our family, and you know he wouldn't accept me either. You know that deep down I'm trying to protect both of us.โ€
โ€œOh! Do I?โ€ I debauchery more. Right now, I feel horrible when I see your eyes water. I'm so, so sorry.
โ€œI know what you're trying to do and I'm not going to stage it.โ€ she walks past me to the door.
"Didn't you want to talk? I am talking.โ€ Leah turns to me, straining the knife I carried in my chest, letting me see her crying face.
โ€œYou're trying to make me hate you.โ€ now I'm the one who freezes. She laughs. โ€œSee how I know you? You are very predictable, Marnie. And as much as I know of your intention, I will not allow you to reach your goal. I hope that one day, not too far away, you realize what a big shit you're doing.โ€ she opens the door, going. โ€œOh, and before I forget, since it's meant to hurt. Congrats, since your little chat with Luke, he's been locked in his room, needing Michael to keep an eye on him.โ€ so Leah slams the door and strikes the final blow.
I bite the inside of my mouth, letting the tears fall. Honestly, I didn't even have the strength to hold back anymore. The rage burning inside me gives way to pain. I imagine Luke locked in his room, lying on the bed, hating me. Hating what we had and what we thought we had.
I walk over to my suitcase, pulling out a package, with the photos I'd taken from the box and the little white box he'd given me. I open it, holding the necklace with his name on it, the one he gave me.
Even knowing what I had to do, I wouldn't get rid of this necklace, I don't have the courage. It was easier to buy an equal one and put it in his hand. What he did to me would be kept with me forever.
โ€œโ€œClosed eyes.โ€ he fights.
"I have my eyes closed." I rebate. โ€œLucasโ€ฆโ€ I chide him, when I feel his lips on the back of my neck.
โ€œSorry, I got distracted.โ€ I hold back the urge to laugh. โ€œClosed eyes.โ€
"If you say it one more time, you'll get hit." I threat.
"How, if you can't see me?" right now, the urge to hit him is so strong that I follow the sound of his voice, trying to kick him. โ€œHey! No rudeness, otherwise you'll be left without a gift.โ€ the false authoritative tone makes me angrier. โ€œGood girl!โ€
โ€œGo!โ€ I kicked.
I'm startled by the icy touch against my neck. It's a necklace. Eagerly, I touch the pendant, recognizing the shape. He didn't do it.
โ€œYou can open it.โ€ his hands move to my hips, hugging me.
With my eyes open, I run my vision to my neck, finding there a necklace just like his but blue.
โ€œHappy Birthday!โ€ he drops a kiss on my cheek.
I hold the blue quartz, seeing Luke's name engraved on the back. I let a stupid smile spread across my face, glaring at my boyfriend with the same.
"Want to explain why we're wearing practically identical necklaces?"
โ€œIt's a little obvious. Couples wear rings and I know what a problem you have with rings.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s not a problem.โ€ I try to defend myself.
โ€œIt's just Alzheimer's. You know, in some people, it starts before they're 70 years old.โ€ I hit him, and he laughs, before he hugs me. "Like I was saying, I know you're not into wearing a ring, so since I already had my necklace, I thought you'd have yours. That way we'll always be close to each other's hearts.โ€ I rest my hands on his shoulders, standing on tiptoes.
"Have I told you I love you today?" I whisper, moving closer.
โ€œNot after 5 pm.โ€ he pouted, looking at the clock on the wall.
I don't know how I managed to kiss him with such a stupid smile on my face.
โ€œWhy do I like you, huh?โ€ I question, stealing a little kiss.
โ€œBecause I'm cheesy and romantic. And even if you deny it, I know you get attached to it.โ€ he opens a victorious smile.
"Don't ever say 'get attached' again." I beg laughing.
"What is it, bae? That was awesome.โ€ he laughs.
โ€œNo!โ€ I scream, laughing.
"What is it, babe girl? Don't you stick to my way of get in?โ€ he keeps teasing me.
I place my lips on yours, determined to shut your mouth and thank you that it works. My mental reminder of โ€œwe're late for dinnerโ€ evaporates when his hands reach under my shirt. I scratch the back of his neck, pulling him closer.
โ€œWe're late for dinner.โ€ he says against my mouth as I start to unbutton his shirt.
โ€œJust say the traffic was like hell.โ€ I suggest kissing his neck.
Luke accepts the idea, picking me up and walking me back to the bedroom."
It's not hard to know that we were late for dinner that day. But I didn't care, I had been given a necklace with his name on it, a necklace that showed how our relationship was getting more and more serious.
I also realize that the two times I got this necklace, at least once I ended up in bed with him. In fact, in both, but only one made it to the end.
โ€œI hate myself.โ€ I say tiredly, going to the minibar to get anything containing alcohol that makes me forget everything.
I call the front desk for two bottles of champagne and the biggest snack they have. I pick up the small whiskey bottles, turning one after the other, as if they were shot. I shake my head, wanting the effect to start faster.
โ€œI hate myself. Leah hates me. Kiki must hate me now too. Just like Noah and everyone else there. Everybody hates me.โ€ I turn the last one over, shaking my head once more. โ€œLuke hates me. Hates me too much.โ€ I comment, hugging the pillow.
I pick up a Polaroid of ours, staring at our happiness marked there. What am I doing?
I throw my head in my hands, lost. I wonder what might happen if I crawl into bed and don't go out for the rest of the month. Probably more people will hate me, but who doesn't hate me now? I mean, just get in line.
Awakened from the thought, when someone knocks on the door. For a second, I wonder who it was, then remember I ordered room service. I walk to the door, feeling the weight of the six small bottles.
My stomach churns and I feel an overwhelming urge to vomit as I land my eyes on the redhead in front of me. Red-haired?
"Bethany?"

๐ŸŽƒWelcome!๐Ÿ–ค
This is my side blog where I can talk and vent about my disability and neurodivergence, as well as reblog things related to those topics. I will state that I am not an authority on anything discussed here beyond my own lived experience. Please take anything I say with a reasonable grain of salt and remember that I am not a professional.
About Me
My name is Madi/Mati (pronounced Mad-ie/Matt-ie,which in my version of english sounds roughly the same), but you can call me Samhain (pronounced Sau-ihn) or other derivatives of my username if you prefer.
I am 28 years old. If you dont want to interact based on age, keep that in mind!
My pronouns are She/They/He. Feel free to mix them up from time to time!
I am nonbinary with femme leanings because gender is complicated and that's what I've decided is the most accurate description of my lived experience. I mention this specifically because it affects how I live with my disability. I will accept good natured questions about it.
I am queer, and I will say the word queer in reference to myself or the community. I have several different orientations and sometimes it's just too complicated to get into all of them.
I am inclusive and intersectional, as I understand that everything affects everything else in different ways and that a persons life experience can't be compartmentalized like that.
I am a vocal proponent of science based medicine, therapy, and medication as well as a proponent of informal or self diagnosis. I understand that care isnt accessible to everyone and that it's more nuanced than that. Everyone deserves respect and dignity regardless of whether or not they can or want to seek treatment for themselves.
I struggle a lot with memory problems, so it is not uncommon for me to reblog things I've reblogged before, repeat points I've already made, forget to include important tags or image descriptions, and forget to respond to messages for long stretches of time. I appreciate your patience in this regard and do not mind gentle and well intentioned reminders!
My ask box is generally open, and anons are fine! It might take me a bit to answer, but I will do my best to do so! I promise I'm not ignoring you!
What I Have?
First off, I will say that no one is entitled to this information, and I am choosing to make it known because I want to. No one is ever entitled to info you deem private and the idea that you have to prove you're "___ enough" to strangers is, frankly, fucked up. I'm okay with being open about it because I'm an adult and incredibly open about it in my daily life, but you dont have to be.
I'll put this below a read more as to not conjest things too much. ๐Ÿ–ค
Known disabilities/neurodivergences:
ADHD (Inattentive Type) - Got diagnosed as a kid but I didnt know it. Didn't get treatment until I was an adult. I have been getting treatment for this, and my mental health toolkit is pretty established. It is still definitely something I struggle with that hinders a lot of aspects of my life, but therapy and meds changed my life.
Spinal Injury - Happened when I was 20 for no reason. Have had surgery that helped with most of it, but still experience effects of it. (Herniation between L4-L5 if you're curious)
Chronic Vestibular Migraines - Started in July of last year, very frequent. Currently seeking treatment for it, but since it's not a super well understood type of migraine, it's hard to treat.
Generalized Anxiety, Depression, and S.A.D. - I lump these all together because they kind of go together. Also I've never known another disabled person who didnt have some variety of this (although most disabled people I know became disabled later in their lives.)
Geographic Tongue and Various Allergies - I have to careful to not make my tongue flare up beyond what is tolerable when I eat, and there is not a time of year when I don't have to take allergy meds. My allergies have never put me in the hospital, but I do get hives, restricted breathing, etc. (Yes, I am aware that Geographic Tongue is an outdated diagnosis, but its easier than explaining the nuance of it).
Dental Issues - I don't know about a specific diagnosis but my teeth are for sure bad.
Mild Scoliosis - Enough that it affects me, not enough to get treatment about it.
General chronic pain and fatigue
Suspected disabilties/neurodivergences (i.e. not formally diagnosed):
Autism - My therapist and I have been talking about it and I'm currently deciding if I want to seek out a formal diagnosis or not, seeing as it's known to be a difficult process. This would be in addition to the ADHD.
Auditory Processing Disorder - it's a pretty common comorbidity with ADHD and I'm pretty sure I have it.
Dyscalcula - never formally diagnosed, but suspicion is there.
Something more than just a migraine disorder, since I have a lot of various issues and the meds I get prescribed for migranes dont work well and have horrible side effects.
Some sort of autoimmune disorder, since I get sick incredibly easily (about one big sickness a season) and it wipes me out every time. I also get skin infections incredibly easily and that's gotta be a thing, right?

Featuring : Tanaka Ryunosuke
Warning : Mention of and Consuming Alcohol.
Tumblr media
"And that's Yamaguchi. He became a captain on his 3rd year." Tanaka, your boyfriend, said as he pointing at a slender guy with a cute freckles beautifully decorating his face. You nodded your head to the said guy and gave him a warm smile. "And everyone, meet Y/N." With a big happy smile, Tanaka introducing you to his highschool volleyball teammates.
"Oooh.. Tanaka-Senpai, how could you get a beautiful girlfriend like her?" The orange hair guy Hinata said, looking all shocking and suspicious.
"You force her, aren't you?" This time, a glasses guy Tsukishima asked.
You let out a small laugh, seeing Tanaka get teased in front of you by his teammates was something you wished to witness. You already heard about Karasuno's volleyball team from Tanaka. A LOT. That when Tanaka ask you if you'd go with him to the volleyball reunion, you say yes immediately.
"What are you talking about?" You heard Tanaka groaned. "She likes me. A LOT." He added and emphasize the last words "Y/N-chan, help me a bit here." Tanaka then said as he placed his hand on yours.
"About what?" You teased and you could hear the volleyball members including Yachi laughed at your remark.
You felt really welcomed there, like they treated you not as a stranger but as a part of them. Part that you didn't even feel surprised because you just knew that they were indeed nice and sweet.
Tanaka put a fake shock expression and it just make Karasuno's members teased him more. You witnessed them reminiscing the past and you got to hear an embarrassing moments of Tanaka from it.
"I'm sorry I'm late." You heard a beautiful voice of girl and just like others, you look up to see who was it.
"Ah! Kiyoko-san!" You heard Yachi's voice as she wave her hands eagerly.
You then look at the beautiful girl who was walking towards your direction. You swore that you've never seen anyone who was more beautiful than her. Soon, Kiyoko notice you (of course she will because you actually couldn't take off your eyes from hers) and Tanaka introduced you to her. Both of you then introducing each other's selves and she learned that you were Tanaka's girlfriend
"Whoa, you look really beautiful." You stated in awe. "Now I get why you fall head over heels, I'd do the same." You said to Tanaka which getting a gasp and surprised look from others, including Kiyoko herself.
"What?" You asked, dumbfounded by the sudden change of atmosphere.
"You knew?" Sugawara asked.
"About him like Kiyoko-san? Yes, I know that. Ryu told me himself." You said and you could see all of the members give a death-stare to Tanaka.
"She asked me. She also likes someone else when she was in highschool. We're cool about it now right, Y/N?" Tanaka said which gained an eager nods from your.
"I don't know if I already said this but Y/N-san, you're so cool!" Noya stated and your already pink cheeks get more pinker at the compliments you get.
The night was spend by a lot of talking and also Tanaka taking care of you. He'd give you your favorite dish, pour some drink to you and stop you from drinking for a while when he thought you've had enough drink. All of the members could see how he care a lot for you and how much both of you love each other just by the actions both of you did.
Few hours has passed and all of you were about to end the sweet time you spent together when you excused yourself to go to the restroom. The restroom of that restaurant was outside on the different building and you took your time wisely there. Just when you left the restroom and was about to go to the restaurant, you felt someone tugging your hand and pulled you to the alley beside the restroom building. You smell the familiar scent of your boyfriend and you were right as you saw Tanaka in front you. He was sandwiched you between him and the wall behind you.
"Ryu!;" You squealed.
"Psst.." He hushed you while he put his hands on your waist, pulling you closer to him, he could feel your chest pressed against his lower chest.
"What are you--" You were silenced as he pressed his lips on yours. You could smell the sake he was drinking that night, you could even taste it a bit. You welcomed the kiss and happily put your hand on his heck before it went through his head. Oh, how you love his buzz cut hair. You could feel Tanaka smiling behind the kiss, damn him, how could he makes you look so damn needy. You feel him nibble your lower lips and he sucked it before he finally drew himself from you.
"You taste so sweet." He stated before he pecked your lips a few times. "Why are you taste so sweet?" He said again. His eyes fixed on your plump lips, pecked it again then he pressed his lips hard on yours, yearning for another kiss.
You felt intoxicated by his kisses and you longing for more but the you suddenly remember where you were and Tanaka's teammates inside the restaurant. "Ryuuuu..." You whined in between kisses. Tanaka only replied with a single 'hmm?' but refused to let his lips left yours.
You tapped his chest lightly and finally Tanaka end the kiss you shared. "The others..." You said while you tried to catch your breath.
You saw Tanaka gave you a mischievous smile before he pressed his lips in yours for the last time and took you inside as you were about to protest. You hoped that the others wouldn't find out about what was just happen because you'd feel too embarrassed. Jokes on you, everyone knew as they saw how flushed both of you appeared, how swollen your lips were and how Tanaka suddenly has a lipstick stain, your lipstick stain, coloring his lips.

Racism, why does it still exist?ย 
So recently during the Capitol take over, as I watched so many white people climbing walls, knocking down fences and destroying our Capitol, I spoke on it and all of the Trump supporters kept bringing it back to the BLM. The situation with BLM was about basic human rights and not about being a sore loser and following the Hitler like man who is running this country.
See, I could never understand this and today with 50 years under my belt, I still can't understand it. I never knew it because I wasn't raised knowing it, my mom was born and raised in Harlem, her best friends were black, as there was no segregation in New York. When we moved upstate even though our town was small, we were diversified, we had Black families, White, Spanish, Jewish, Indian and mixed families. We even had gay families and drag queens in our small town and we were all friends.
My "Big daddy" Sam Whitfield was a family friend for as long as I could remember, at our house every week and every holiday.
My first very best friend was named "Cookie" who was also black and it was there I learned to love fried chicken, collard greens and her mom's incredible corn bread.ย 
There was no color, there was just friendship, there was love, there were people who had your back and you had theirs, that simple. It was never us against them or that we thought we were better in any way, we all bleed red, we all have hearts, we are all human beings.
When I started to go to church I found one that touched my heart, one that spoke to me, to my soul, it just happened to be aย  predominantly black church, yet I never felt more than welcomed and loved from the moment I stepped foot in there. These wonderful men and women are now my friends, they have become my family, and yes, I would lay down my life for my family, there is that much love there.
So when I still hear so much about racism in this country I am blown away, Why? What makes you think you're better than another human being? Who said you were the chosen one? And why? Because someone else doesn't look like you? I would have hoped that by 2021, with so many strides we have made, so many ways we have come forward, even with having a black president, that this would have changed. When I was growing up, who would have thought that was even possible? Yet, it happened and I hoped that change would have come with it, but there are so many people still stuck in a time warp about racism.
Especially in the last 5 years when Trump started to run, he made it okay for the racist and the closet KKK to bring out their robes out of hiding. Even as we watched them destroying our Capitol, they were there with rebel flags and shirts that saidย  โ€œCamp Auschwitzโ€ emblazoned with a skull and crossbones, and under it the phrase โ€œwork brings freedomโ€ โ€“ an English translation of the Auschwitz concentration camp motto: โ€œArbeit macht frei.โ€
On the back it said Staff.
Another image, more subtle but no less incendiary, is of a different man whose T-shirt was emblazoned with the inscription โ€œ6MWEโ€ above yellow symbols of Italian Fascism. โ€œ6MWEโ€ is an acronym common among the far right standing for โ€œ6 Million Wasnโ€™t Enough.โ€ It refers to the Jews exterminated during the Nazi Holocaust and hints at the desire of the wearer to increase that number still further.
Their hatred is just like Hitler's was against anyone who didn't look like them, this time it looks like a bunch of uneducated rednecks with no teeth. No offense to anyone who is not a racist without teeth.
(See what it has come down to, to make sure you don't offend anyone, anymore)
QAnon followers, the Proud Boys and the other far-right and alt-right groups that converged on Washington imagined that they were living out the great fantasy that underlies what many consider to be the bible of the white nationalism movement, a 1978 dystopian novel, โ€œThe Turner Diaries,โ€ by William Luther Pierce. That theirs, somehow stupid, is a superior race.
There is no racism, there is just stupidism, stupid, small minded people who for some God forsaking reason think they are better then someone else, than everyone else and as if it wasย  their jobs to rid the world of everyone who doesn't believe, and who doesn't look like them.
So today my friends, let's stamp out stupidism, let others know it's not okay to say racial slurs of any kind, to not judge a person on skin color. Let's put our foot down and say that it's not okay to shoot at, pepper spray and kill Black protesters but take selfies with white protesters that stormed the Capitol.ย 
We need change in our police system where on their day off they are allowed to put on their white sheets to help these nut jobs and yet we don't think it is possible for it to overflow into their judgments while they are on the job. Give me a frigging break! This is white privilege at it's finest and this must change.ย 
So many are now crying that they are "targeted'' that they cannot fly because they are now labeled terrorists, that they lost their jobs and now ha, ha, ha their right to bear arms. Too fucking bad, you are terrorists, you are a group of small minded, low educated, toothless people who think the country should be run by a man, who let me tell you doesn't give two shits about you. He is only out for himself, his power and his money but you all are too stupid to see that.
So today my friends, I apologize for ranting but I can't understand how so many people think this is alright? How hating another person based on their skin color, their religion or their sexual preference is okay. We need to judge people on their hearts, who they are inside, how they give back as a society and to be more open minded about another's culture and race because we all bleed the same color and at the end we all will turn into dust, no matter what color you are.
Again I will leave you with thisโ€ฆ
It is so important to realize we must speak out against injustice even if it is not pointed at us.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak outโ€”
ย ย ย ย ย Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak outโ€”
ย ย ย ย ย Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outโ€”
ย ย ย ย ย Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meโ€”and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemรถller (1892โ€“1984)
