(Please Read Replies!!) Are You Telling Me That The MEDIA Is Paying A White Woman To Act As George Floyd's

i recently had to read venus by suzan lori parks for school and i can not get it out of my head because of how disturbing it was. black women truly do deserve better.

(also if you noticed i kept flipping back and forth between sara or sarah. it’s been an ongoing debate on how her name is spelled so i used both spellings.)

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

Just so we’re all clear, it is okay to miss people you no longer want in your life.

"So...We finally meet. No mask to hide you now is there?"

AU where when Erik passes onto the afterlife the first person that greets him by the pearly gates is Christine’s dad just standing there

Waiting.

let’s be honest for a sec

isn’t it tiring for Zhang Yixing to look that good 24/7

do you ever think about how perfectly steve, bucky, and sam typify the 3 big wars america’s fought in over the past century?

steve is the soldier who fought in world war 2. he’s the tail end of the glory and honor of war. his reasons for fighting are clear cut, moral, as far as he can tell. but the weapons used are too deadly, too fatal for glory and honor, really. there’s the attempt to treat enemy combatants with respect, with honor, all while killing them quick than has ever been possible before. there’s the unease of the shift from the old style of fighting to the new. there’s the tiredness that only comes from a second global war in only two decades. there’s the closure that comes from unprecedented total destruction. the thought of “maybe now we can go home. maybe now we can build lives like our parents, those of us that are left.”

bucky is the soldier who fought in vietnam. he’s the one that couldn’t dodge the draft, that couldn’t evade the fight no matter how hard he tried. he’s the one who followed the orders he had to, and rebelled against all the others. his uniform was askew, more civvies than not. he didn’t look a soldier, and he didn’t fight like one either. he didn’t know why he was fighting, who he was fighting. he saw too many innocents die by the hands of his comrades, of himself. he felt agent orange burn his lungs, saw orphans crying in the streets. he came home, the rat-a-tat of machine guns echoing in his ears, always. he disembarked a plane, and was spat on by anti-war protesters. he couldn’t even be angry– he agreed with them. he participated in the winter soldier investigations, confessed what he’d been forced to do, and that almost abated the weight on his shoulders. almost.

sam is the soldier who fought in afghanistan. the modern soldier, with just as much shit as the rest of them. the difference is, where steve was greeted with celebrations and bucky was greeted with vitriol, sam is overlooked, forgotten. he suffers in silence, expected to endure without protest. sam copes, but not all vets are able to do the same. afghan war vets are the ones who take their own lives in droves, the unacknowledged, unknown aftershocks from an invasion founded on half-formed ambitions from men in suits who’d never have to bear the real burden. sam is the modern day vet, unknown, unseen, unthanked.

If there are two types of character I love, it's a Wizard With a Sword and a Brennen Lee Mulligan Mom, which is why you'll never hear me speak a word against The Wizard Steel

happy siobhan thompson playing another dramatic bitch to all those who celebrate
