"It's True That Food Will Fill An Empty Stomach. But What Is There To Fill An Empty Heart I Wonder?"

I have never felt so fucking enraged as when I saw a cop in a camouflaged uniform holding a pride flag crunched up.

To everyone, 20 people have been illegally arrested by the police duringba Pride Protest that also fronted #JunkTerrorBill and other ongoing issues in the Philippines.

The Terror Bill has NOT been signed yet AND THEY'RE ALREADY ABUSING POWER.

FREE PRIDE 20! JUNK TERROR BILL !!

CAPITANO NATION!!! HOW WE FELLIN???

Everything will be alright…

A message to the writers of the fandom from Javi 💜

*hugs*

aww thankyyy friend *hugs back* 😭♥️

stories like the mandalorian and the witcher are increasingly becoming more compelling than superhero stories because although they still centre around a single person (or small group of people) dealing with some larger-than-life problem, the conflict and eventual emotional release in the story is generated through watching the protagonist realise they can’t win and have to cope with their circumstances as best they can, whereas with super hero movies they win and save the day.

both are a different kind of escapist fantasy (the former being a cathartic one because you easily connect with the terror of being unable to change your material conditions, while the latter is watching someone powerful change those conditions for you), but for shows like the mandalorian or the witcher, characters draw strength from rallying together and being kind to other people who also feel just as powerless. Super heros are just innately powerful in some way that is not accessible to most people. You can theoretically train to be as competent as a Mandalorian or Witcher, but you can’t train your way into being Superman or being a rich genius like Batman.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
