PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness.

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps

SUPERNATURAL NEWS OF THE DAY: Toxic Brazil Fans Attack!

So get this (😉), there's this award show in Brazil called Séries Brasil. It does a variety of awards, but it mainly has to do with TV shows. Their account is @SeriesBrasil on Twitter. Now Supernatural just so happened to have multiple nominations and wins, including Misha Collins winning Best Actor for his portrayal on Castiel. That is a great accomplishment and I'm so proud of him. But then we have another award...

The award show decided to have an award called Worst Character. Considering this is a real and popular award show in Brazil (with 1M follows on Twitter), this shouldn't even be an award in the first place. Award shows are suppose to be about celebrating the good, not belittling the bad. Anyways, the results came in and they are SHOCKING:

SUPERNATURAL NEWS OF THE DAY: Toxic Brazil Fans Attack!

Dean Winchester won in a SICKENING landslide. Now mind you, this is a REAL award show, not just a silly award show made up by a fan. Which means that

Jensen Ackles will be sent this award.

That is extremely messed up that these so called fans would take part in such a cruel thing. Now I'm not gonna say Dean Winchester is a perfect character who did nothing wrong. He is flawed and has made some questionable choices at times, but Dean also sacrificed his own wellbeing time and time again to save the world. He has inspired many people to keep on fighting even during the darkest of times. On top of that, Jensen Ackles just finished working on the show after 15 years. Not to mention he cares a lot about Dean and considers Dean his best friend. This is such a HUGE slap in the face for all the work Jensen put into Supernatural and it's even worse that a lot of the same people who voted for him claim to be fans of the show. If you actively HATE on Sam, Dean, Cas, or their actors, you are NOT a real fan of the show. It's one thing to disagree with certain things the characters/actors do, it's another thing to hate on them. I am so disgusted by this behavior and this award should have never been a thing in the first place.

I'm personally asking everyone who reads this to reblog this because this is such a messed up thing to do and Jensen deserves better than that, and I hope more fans can become aware of this situation.

My idea is that we should trend the hashtag #WhyILoveDean and #WhyILoveJensen and talk about why we love Dean/Jensen and how they have impacted our lives on Twitter to show that the Brazilian "fans" do NOT represent the SPN fandom. If anyone would like to help with more planning, feel free to message me. Thank you.
