#white people make me sad

[sca-nerd]

In case you were confused, please be aware:

People of Color exist in Europe and other places outside of Africa, and always have. Even when you think they didn't, they did. It's called "traveling" and everyone did it. White people didn't have the monopoly on walking, riding beasts of burden, and using ships.

The predominancy of one race does not negate the presence of another. They're still very much there, and are entitled to be recognized.

Imagine for a moment that reincarnation is real... and now imagine senior, gray muzzle Vasco rescuing a sickly albino horse who seems very frightened and uncomfortable with the concept of being a horse. Vasco is too old and frail to ride anymore, as you've mentioned in the past if i remember correctly, but he takes this horse in.

No one at the stable can even make eye contact with this pale steed without its ears pinning back and its eyes threatening to bulge out of its head. However, Vasco visits every day he is physically able to, so he can gently comb its mane and tail and handfeed it oats and hay, since it refuses to eat otherwise.

Vasco doesn't give the horse a name, but in a voice soft enough for the two of them to hear, he calls it various old pet names only he should know. He swears the horse's eyes light up at his words despite not fully believing the possibility.

Regardless, they comfort each other.

#hwhhhaugh #you can't just whip up a sad elderly horse girl Vasco scenarios and make me read them with my own two eyes #probably the last of many horses he's had #hhhwh #'various old pet names only he should know' #answered #majima420 #I don't know much about horses but I think I've read that horses are never truly albinistic? or that there are no comfirmed cases of them? #horse people do you know whether that's true? or am I just not misunderstanding the whole thing #but if it's a sufficiently white/pink horse to bear a resemblance does it matter in story context #'uncomfortable with the concept of being a horse' hehe #Vaschete scenarios

I love Jiang Cheng and I hope you agree. The most tragic thing about yunmeng siblings is that JC and WWX really love each other the whole time… I like to think they can fix it someday

Someday perhaps....in the meantime, I bet he's loving having dogs run around lotus pier. As a WWX deterrent of course. No therapeutic reasons at all.

#Poorly Drawn MDZS #MDZS #Jiang Cheng #As much as I put him on blast #I do like JC quite a bit. #Man....I'm sad you're on anon cause I'd love to talk more about the yunmeng sibiling tragedy #Part of me so badly wishes that they do reconcile after some time #though a good tragedy comes from the pain of what could have been #JC is definitely in my top 5 mdzs characters and its absolutely due to how messy he is #ngl I can kinda relate to where his hurt comes from and it makes it very interesting to analyze. #Favourism and antagonism of parents messes up sibling dynamics so much #The grief and trauma ended up causing a rift not a shared moment of solidarity #JC is a counter-representation and a foil to how LWJ deals with his grief #as heartbroken as LWJ is he...keeps his life going. The grief settles and he doesn't forget but he *moves forwards* #JC doesn't! He can't! He has so much guilt and regret and the grief stagnates him! Love and grief can become so terribly consuming! #He's so human for it! This is a story where no-one is morally black or white! *People* aren't black and white!

MIKE BLOCKED ME ON TWITTER FOR ROASTING HIS DUMBASS RESPONSE TO THE GRAPHIC NOVEL STUFF!!

grown ass man scared of the 19-year-old queer being mean to him over his public meltdown more at 8.

#ramblez #little white boy sad? U sad bc nobody likes you? Bc u constantly make a fool of urself and show off ur distaste for ur fans? lmao #this is one of the greatest things to ever happen to me imagine how mad he'll be when he finds out the fangame Im making has queers in it #hes gonna have a whole other white boy meltdown on main KJSNFDGKJHFGKJHGKJHSDFGSD #hes so fucking sensitive maybe just get off of social media Mike this never ends well for you #batim #batdr #bendy and the ink machine #bendy and the dark revival #and look Im joking around about this but it really is sad that the bendy devs cant handle this kind of critique towards their decisions #it seems despite the backlash once again they are choosing to ignore their fans which is yknow upsetting #But hey ig if the devs being awful was a dealbreaker for this fandom I wouldve left a long time ago and I havent #dw Im not going anywhere <3 #also if anyone else here was also criticizing Mike maybe check his acct to make sure ur not blocked now since apparently #old habits die hard and this is certainly a pattern with him KJHDSFKGJHSDKFGJHDFGSD #also look before anyone asks yes I was kinda mean to him over this but to put bluntly if hes gonna be this dismissive to his fans concerns #he deserves it. Theres this persistent attitude esp in bendy fanspaces of being defensive of the devs #and I dont know why they have been extremely horrible people every single chance they get #and its very hurtful to see how many people would rather tell me to be kinder to the people who broke the heart of a child me when they #dismissed any ideas of putting queers like me in their stories than to realize Mike n Meatly bring this bad attention to themselves #to put bluntly I dont owe them kindness not until they at least apologize for the shit they did which they still havent #mike hasnt even addressed his vent poem in the code of BATDR let alone the other shit he said n did #so no I will not be kind to him ever hope this helps!

one of many the fall of the house of usher v succession hot takes (of dubious validity):

people are for sure going to to say that Camille (wears high-waisted pants a lot, has a somewhat angular haircut, fails at her job, obnoxious but wounded, does PR, is white) is the Shiv parallel of the show, but I would argue that Victorine (desperate to prove her worth in a world that Does Not Care, thinks she's a lot better at being sneaky than she is, destroys her relationship with her partner while trying to validate her place in the family/company, APPEARS to have a special relationship with her father as a Daddy's Girl but is actually being manipulated and emotionally abused by him) is the much stronger Shiv parallel

#the fall of the house of usher #like i'm not saying there AREN'T camille and shiv parallels but i'm just waiting to see so many people acting like it's 1 to 1 #mostly bc kate and sarah are white women whose fanbases appear to overlap #when the entire tell-tale heart episode.... every time victorian and roderick interacted #i was getting horror!pinky vibes #and it made me SADS. #like basically the only kids who pulled at my heartstrings w roderick were like #victorian and then lenore #and like. i think his relationship w victorine was still largely entirely self-serving #(just like logan's w shiv!) #(camille evokes a similar vibe but victorine plays a similar ROLE and makes me sad in a similar way) #(also t'nia miller acted her motherfucking ass off and let us not walk around THAT)

The only people who benefit when black people and jews are divided are white supremacists

#research at my job rn is focused on the time frame at twitter immediately after kanye said all that stuff #so im having to read the absolute worst takes ever #about bs that he was saying at the time #and a lot of people were really exposed to these antisemitic conspiracy theories through kanye #and it just makes me really fucking sad idk #we are stronger when we are together #like jews have always been at civil rights rallies and fighting for equality of all kinds #we both experience discrimination and persecution from the same people #it isnt a competition white supremacists hate us too #a lot of the antisemitism im seeing from this sample set is the same conspiracies that have been around for thousands of years #about jews controlling minorities #so that they can... idk control the world and oppress white people? #but i cant recall a time where minorities actually started to believe they were being controlled by jews before this sample set #it hurts it really does #anyway ill always support black people and jews and i dont have to choose between the two #i took a course with some incredible professors that are like the forefront academics of african american and african diasporic studies #called the intersectionality of jewishness and blackness #our histories arent just parallel #theyre intertwined #anyway ill get off my soapbox i just have to read this bullshit for my job and it made me upset lol #jumblr #judaism #frumblr #jewblr

every now and then I remember that time my transfem friend and I were talking about her trauma and her transition and suddenly she said "but yeah you didn't go through any of that because trans men don't get harassed or bullied and have it overall easier" and I just felt so deeply upset at how she just assumed all the pain I went through couldn't exist because I somehow had it easier. I didn't even say anything because I didn't want her to think I was angry at her, because if I do then suddenly I'm an Angry Man that's exaggerating

#not to mention im latino and she's white #how can you say 'yeah you didn't suffer bullying' to a latino neurodivergent trans man that you've known is mentally unwell for years #maybe its because she idolizes me a lot but please i just want people to see me like a person and not like some concept they can define #also it's really sad seeing people say 'trans men have it easier' like I didn't get beat up and socially and psychologically bullied #ever since i came to Spain because of racism and homophobia and transphobia and ableism and every form of bigotry you can think #and even to this day i still have to deal with all that #even when i think im safe I'm never really safe for one reason or another #and being a man doesn't make me any less vulnerable #valentine.txt #valentime #sorry for the rant gamers I'm still upset and i haven't talked about it to her because I don't want her to feel bad

wanna make a folk costumes of britain zine sooo fuckign bad.........

#folk traditions/music/dance/costume in england in /particular/ are so deeply repressed & mocked and ignored /within/ england #i listened to an interesting podcast examining the english folk music tradition and #how we as english lost something of ourselves in the plundering of others for empire and the incessant rise of industrialisation #however. there is still so much there. so many interesting traditions. so much oral history. so many regional variations #and if you live here it's here for anyone and everyone to take. it's yours!!!!! #waiting for you to find it if you only look for it. if you want it #anyway this was spurred by reading some american say their family was english on both sides and thus had no culture to feel tied to #which made me so sad because it's not true at all. there is always big tescos. (joke) #but fr wym 'no english culture' what is my ultraspecific interest then. lol #there is of course also a very pervading connection of english folk tradition with whiteness which we must both examine and break #because what is a folk tradition if it becomes the preserve of a very narrow demographic? folk means people. #it's of the people and that's all of us here and we must make it open if people so choose to take it #however that is a tag essay for another day and for obvious reasons i can only word things clumsily and do not have the right perspective #anyway once again this was a very long tag essay on my very specific interests. apologies #what it means to be 'from england' with everything that entails is endlessly complex and i think abt it all the time #wow these tags are barely related to the post anymore #is this like. a reasonable and normal post to make i dont even know anymore

[soupkiddo]

tried to put myself in the headspace of a transphobe and got pissed off cus it's so fucking stupid

#genuinely i have no fucking idea how people get so up their own ass about other peoples business #you dont like it? it makes you uncomfortable? tough shit buddy thats life #i see dogshit on the sidewalk and it makes me feel gross. but im not going to make hating dogshit my entire personality #im not gonna fucking ban dogs because i dont want to look at dogshit #im not gonna follow people home when they dont clean up after their dogs #ill get pissed about it in the moment sure. i wish people would clean up after their dogs. but its not going to consume the rest of my day #being uncomfortable and not liking things is a part of the human experience baby!!!! #trying to get rid of every little thing that makes you uncomfortable defeats the point of being alive!!! #you just wanna stay in your little bubble?? scared of anyone who doesnt fit your narrow view of what a person should be?? #that sounds so fucking sad #nothing new nothing exciting #just straight cis white folks living their straight cis white lives #AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW FUCKING STUPID RACISM IS HOLY SHIT #there is an entire world of different people with different cultures and experiences and art and foods and you dont want any part of it??? #because somebody spoke in spanish and you didnt understand them #the world does not revolve around you #people should not have to sacrifice their identity for your comfort #literally just mind your own business. someones elses gender is not your business. #terfs eat shit and die

This is a more eloquent explanation of what's wrong with Black Evangelicals than I could ever put together. I cannot fathom having so much hatred and disgust in your heart for your own history

#black christians like that simultaneously enrage me and make me so sad #to be so thoroughly colonized and cut off from your roots that you happily and loudly demonize your own people #all to pay lip service to the white man's god #white people deserve to look on their history with self disgust #not us #nonblacks dont touch

FUCK the graphic novel, this is what I'm watching when it comes out instead of buying it <3<3

#batim #batdr #bendy and the ink machine #bendy and the dark revival #fun fact I was making a post full of cool bendy animations people should watch and support when the GN shit happened #so I had to put off making that fun post in order to post about how unhappy white norman made me #and probably for a while I will not be talking positively abt bendy in general bc Im genuinely so mad I dont want to #but uh everyone should watch this and give it nice attention you know comment n like give it a boost in the algorithm n such #a lot of people put a lot of hard work into it and it deserves it even if its a bit rough in some places #I love this genuinely its such a labour of love #so sad the talented community that makes such marvelous things constantly gets sold crap by the devs #Youtube

Now he’s trying to lie when he literally tagged Princeton like 5 fucking time. White people are so evil, bro. They always know what they’re doing when they do shit like that. With the attempt to bring harm to Black people who they want to “get out of the way,” because they don’t think that we belong in the same spaces as them while at the same time, believing they should be allowed INTO our spaces and afforded hospitality and a whole red carpet rolled out. The sad thing is, she has connections to the industry because of her uncle and name so what if this was just a random Black woman who worked for Princeton without this kind of protection at all…?

#I’m glad that she’s alright though #why is he trying to dumb down what he intended by saying that ‘she was trolling so I trolled back’ like she like many other black people #are always dead serious when we tell whites and nbs to stay out of black folks business #simply put #he just got offended since a black woman told him to stay in his own lane #he dumb ass didn’t even know who she was even though he’d interviewed her family multiple times before #a Russian making millions off of black culture what a joke #black people gotta be tired of being used #one day man #the sad thing is of course black men hate black women sm that they were defending vlad on his behalf (not surprised lol) #and I saw other black women being pick me’s going on about ‘what makes her SO much more special than other black people-‘ like are you…. #do you bitches have rocks for brains or… these same people are the reasons why nbs and whites will always feel comfortable coming into our #shit and wrecking the place you guys don’t stand for anything and you allow others to trample over your own people #stand up one day #the sad thing is #ppl are still gonna go onto his platform to allow him to interview them and make money off of their name #this is one of the first times that I’ve seen black people really get in vlad’s ass though because what he tried to do to this black woman #was absolutely vile and this is the kind of shit that gets black people killed and put into bad positions #fucking loser #rambling

thought to myself "the ted lasso team can't be tHAt white???" as i was watching sheffield vs man city and then i went to google the team.

the amount of black players on the team vs the screentime black players get............... they have a black coach ?! i'm not paying loads of attention but like ???

#i think honestly the thing that makes me ??? with ted lasso is how we have 1 black british accent in like the entire show #jamie tartt but black could've been so interesting but noOoooOo #roy kent but black could've been incredibly interesting but........no #i know the writers are white americans but damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn #every time i watch ted lasso i then have to go watch some footballers of colour to like #balance out the universe #bc ted lasso is incredibly white but british football is not #i'm trying to stop thinking abt ted lasso but i keep seeing it on my dash #and 99% of what i'm seeing from it is white people #and i'm just always like ???? bc i associate british football with like. marcus rashford and raheem sterling #brb gonna go watch the iconic rashford lingard roomates clips and try to chill #like. ted lasso is just missing the working class flavour of colour which is everywhere in british football #and it makes me both sad and angry

[johndonneswife]

not a sad ‘woe is me’ post so don’t send me weird messages but: the thing abt cycling through every ED possible and being bulimic for like 10 yrs & making yourself vomit up to 10x times per day on ur worst days is that your teeth and gums will eventually give out on you (bc it doesn’t make a difference if you’ve been good & it doesn’t matter how well you’ve taken care of your teeth for the last x years) and u will be 30 years old crying to your very sweet and kind dentist when she tells you about the 1 million things that are wrong with ur teeth

#anyway i feel strongly compelled to quit my job and dedicate my entire life to speaking out abt eating disorders #& doing research & writing & advocating for people who are suffering #women who are suffering #i think this is honestly my life’s calling!!!! i just don’t know where to start #you know movies glamorize having anorexia & it’s always like: she is the most beautiful girl in the world…but so sad…she doesn’t eat :( #i need to make movies that have scenes like that one chapter of i’m glad my mom died: #where jennette has been throwing up like 15 times a day and her tooth falls out #and she’s literally just like: yeah i’ll deal with that later #& instead of writing about a beautiful skinny white girl who is upset about eating carrots at inpatient #i would just force people to read/watch the things in this thread: #https://www.reddit.com/r/EDAnonymous/s/H1C3JZyvFK #because that’s the reality #the one comment in that thread ‘i ate something poisonous because i hoped it would make me puke’ #like yeah same. LOL. & i always thought i was the only one so fucked in the head #anyway society is very cruel to women and i need to do something about it. genuinely whereeee do i even begin #i guess i have been writing a lot abt my personal experience and all the disgusting things ppl like to avoid talking abt #and how my mother made me this way etc #i could def make a memoir out of it. maybe i’ll do that. #i would love to have more options than just. trauma porn. #ah anyway maybe i’ll open a nonprofit. IDK. i just need to make a lot of noise somehow
