i just find it so weird that some of y’all have a big platform and continue to just ignore these serious ass issues. i get that politics isn’t for everyone. and that maybe you don’t wanna “talk” about it. but as a black person, it’s shoved in my face everyday. and in every other black person’s face.
we have no choice but to talk about it. so i just find it real weird that y’all just ignore these issues because they make you feel some type of way.
black people “feel some type of way” every day. we can’t escape this shit. so grow a pair and get your head out of your ass. it takes one simple reblog, and y’all still can’t do that. imagine.
i think we should go trick or treating on tumblr on halloween. going to send asks saying ‘trick or treat’
In order: Erosabel (17), Saorsa (19), Smokey (17) and Amal (18)
These four were born with powers, powers meant to protect the Guardian, Madison, from those that wish to annihilate her. The issue is that these boys don't recognize Madison as the true Guardian.
Well, at least Amal doesn't.
Art dumping of my ocs!

In order: the disgusted woman to the left is Fang and the sparkling disaster of a man is Uraeus. They are soulmates but they're not rushing for any romance, as you do.
The winged birb man is named Malory and the sparkly eyes children around him are his younger siblings, but they don't know that because he was disowned at birth.
The lovely lady in the pink dress is named Layla, she's always got some fresh cookies for any visitors her cottage. The feral woman is her girlfriend, Aimilios, but she's called Mili for short.
The literal goddess with kittens in her onesie pocket is Laetitia. You guys are gonna love her, I promise.
Finally, the cutie at the bottom is Nori. He's grumpy, smol and has some feelings for Laetitia.

Once a little boy went to school. One morning The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. He liked to make all kinds; Lions and tigers, Chickens and cows, Trains and boats; And he took out his box of crayons And began to draw.
But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make flowers.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make beautiful ones With his pink and orange and blue crayons. But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And it was red, with a green stem. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”
The little boy looked at his teacher’s flower Then he looked at his own flower. He liked his flower better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just turned his paper over, And made a flower like the teacher’s. It was red, with a green stem.
On another day The teacher said: “Today we are going to make something with clay.” “Good!” thought the little boy; He liked clay. He could make all kinds of things with clay: Snakes and snowmen, Elephants and mice, Cars and trucks And he began to pull and pinch His ball of clay.
But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make a dish.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make dishes. And he began to make some That were all shapes and sizes.
But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And she showed everyone how to make One deep dish. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”
The little boy looked at the teacher’s dish; Then he looked at his own. He liked his better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again And made a dish like the teacher’s. It was a deep dish.
And pretty soon The little boy learned to wait, And to watch And to make things just like the teacher. And pretty soon He didn’t make things of his own anymore.
Then it happened That the little boy and his family Moved to another house, In another city, And the little boy Had to go to another school.
The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. And he waited for the teacher To tell what to do. But the teacher didn’t say anything. She just walked around the room.
When she came to the little boy She asked, “Don’t you want to make a picture?” “Yes,” said the little boy. “What are we going to make?” “I don’t know until you make it,” said the teacher. “How shall I make it?” asked the little boy. “Why, anyway you like,” said the teacher. “And any color?” asked the little boy. “Any color,” said the teacher. And he began to make a red flower with a green stem.

Okay, I don’t know how true this is - but this is huge fucking news.
I’ve been saying this for a while now, but Disney, Amazon and co. are trying to return to the studio system of the old Hollywood days that got - rightly - discontinued in the 1960s. Those were the days when each studio owned their own cinemas that could only stream their movies, where they owned actors who could only play in their movies (unless hired out by others) - and that led to people like Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe etc. literally being owned by studios that fed them non stop pills and driven to overdose.
That’s the end point. That’s not the point we’re at now. But you’ll notice that in the last 3 or 4 years, every major production company now has a streaming platform. Much like up until the late 1960s in America, you can only see movies on company-owned platforms. This, with Johansson, is a huge step further - the largest production company in the world - who breached contract, not the other way around - are now essentially blacklisting Johansson from working with them for speaking out against them. Sure, this isn’t a blacklist on the level of the red and lavender scares - but if they can do this to Johansson, the biggest actor in the world, it sets a huge fucking precedent for blacklisting anybody who stands up for workers’ rights.
It also sees Disney - and other companies will follow suit, as they always do - moving a step closer to owning their stars. What Disney is trying to say is that Disney and Johansson are not equal partners in the contract, but that Disney has the ultimate say over everything. This idea that the contract is a formality is absolutely fucked, because it means that artists have no rights under the corporations, and if they want to continue to work they have to obey. Nobody is signing exclusive contracts yet, but you bet this is reverting to Judy Garland times.
We are not going forwards. The movie industry is going backwards to the days of Louis B. Mayer (and it’s capitalism’s fault) and we all need to boost the fuck out of this. The courts will handle the Disney case - but we must support ScarJo (I say as very much a non ScarJo fan) and make sure that she continues to have a career after this, to set the precedent that audiences will not stand for future blacklisting.

One of my favorite ocs as of yet, her name is Kalliste (kuh-least) (20) and she is just lovely hehejcnsjwofnkw9scu-
Kalliste is like a cultivator for those who protect the Guardian. She is specifically assigned to Amal, since she's the only one with the patience to handle him.
