“I want to thank every single one of you for coming out. This is very important, this is very vital. Black lives have always mattered. We have always been important. We have always meant something. We have always succeeded, regardless. And now is the time. I ain’t waiting! I AIN’T WAITING! I’ve been born in this country. I am 28 years old. Born and raised in London. Every black person understands and realizes the first time you are reminded that you are black. You remember. Every black person in here remembers when another person reminded you that you were black. I need you guys to understand- I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that is never the case anymore. We’re going to try today. We are a physical representation of our support for George Floyd. We are a physical representation on our support for Sandra Bland. We are a physical representation on our support for Trayvon Martin. We are a physical representation of our support for Stephen Lawrence. For Mark Duggan. It is very very important that we keep control of this movement, and we make it as peaceful as possible. We make this as peaceful and as organized as possible. Because you know what, guys? They want us to mess up. They want us to be disorganized. But not today! NOT TODAY! Not today! This message is specifically for black men: black men, black men we need to take care of our black women. We need to take care of- They are our hearts! THEY ARE OUR HEARTS! They are our future. We cannot demonize our own. We are the pillars of the family. Imagine this, a nation that is set up with individual families that are thriving, that are healthy, that communicate, that raise their children in love have a better rate of becoming better human beings. And that’s what we need to create. Black men, it starts with you. It’s done man, we can’t be trash no more. We have to be better. You don’t understand? I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but f**k that! Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process. We don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. You lot came today, you left your kids, and when you see your kids they’re aimlessly playing, they don’t understand what’s going on. Today is the day that we remind them that we are dedicated and this is a lifelong dedication. Guys, we don’t leave them stop you now. This is longevity. Some of you are artists, some of you are bankers, some of you are lawyers, some of you own shop stores. You are important, your individual power, your individual right is very, very important. We can all join together to make this a better world.

Thank you for coming out today. Thank you for your support. To us. Black people I love you. I appreciate you. Today is an important day, we are fighting for our rights. We are fighting for our ability to live in freedom. We are fighting for our ability to achieve. We are fighting for equality. And you are the physical representation of that. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! Today is the day that we stand. We walk. It’s not about career, it’s not about money, it’s about your right to live as a human being.”

— John Boyega’s full speech during the Black Lives Matter protest at Hyde Park in London, England (June 3, 2020)

Quarantine q&a

tagged by @thelandofnothing​ Thanks for being a rock, here's a first for me actually doing this.

are you staying home from work/school?: Odd but my job let me go (it's kind of fine) and I’m treating this a much deserved mental health break, even with all the fear. At least I’m writing more.

if you’re staying home, who’s there with you?: Roommates, who are two of my friends from school, and my sister. It’s like a friend's episode just without Ross and Rachel.

are you a homebody?: Yes, Its nice not wearing pants.

what movies have you watched recently? what shows are you watching?: Just saw Birds of Prey, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? Emma, and Tonight I’ll watch Onward.

an event that you were looking forward to that got canceled?: I had tickets to BTS. So... Also Outsidelands, while it's in August, I already booked my hotel and now I’m wondering if I should even buy the tickets.

what music are you listening to? A lot of Kpop, lo-fi, coffee shop indie, alternative, and Halsey like sounds. New is Missio. I like em.

what are you reading?: I'm reading a lot of Pride and Prejudice variations, alien romance (because why not) and some Neil Gaiman.

what are you doing for self-care?: I had a lot of face masks piled up, and have used one every two days, My face is so fucking shiny you could see your reflection on my forehead, also Persona 5 royal.

tagging: I don't really talk to anyone so? I did it for me?

writing fanfic like “am i getting the dynamics of this friendship right?” “would this character actually say this?” “what is the proper ratio of kindness to sass?” “am i falling prey to overused fanfic personality shortcuts or is this a canon trait?” “am i overthinking this so much that i will grind to a standstill out of sheer terror?”

I dont usually post my art. I get a little off with it, but some art inspires me to continue to do art. That is what TBoC (The Bastard of Camelot wip) did. I love the characters and the complexities they bring to the story, starting or maybe contributing to my Mordreds family, here is her amazing aged up brother Gareth who she is very close with.

I wanted him to look kinda earnest and boyish, kinda like he wants approval from someone since Lot leaves a lot to be desired (pun intended).

Could we get a general layout of the MC’s apartment? I would love to make it in the Sims but I’m having trouble coming out with a layout that makes sense

This is the quickest sketch, sorry!

Hope that helps, though! Thank you so much for the ask :)

so i’m sure by now most of you have seen the news story about the patriots using their team plane to fly ppe into massachusetts from china (or at least if you’re local to new england you probably have).

it’s being shared on the news as a heartwarming story of a football team stepping up for their local area, but it’s also absolutely a sign of how truly and deeply fucked the federal response to this has been.

some background: massachusetts has received somewhere in the neighborhood of 17% of the ppe requested from the federal stockpile, and not one single ventilator. we requested 1000 of those and have now had to up our request to 1400. we have repeatedly been outbid by the federal government and now, most recently, had shipments of ppe that we ordered straight up seized by the feds in new york.

So I’m Sure By Now Most Of You Have Seen The News Story About The Patriots Using Their Team Plane To

so, in desperation, our governor set up A SECRET DIPLOMATIC BACKCHANNEL to essentially beg china to send us badly needed equipment and make sure the federal government couldn’t seize it this time

So I’m Sure By Now Most Of You Have Seen The News Story About The Patriots Using Their Team Plane To

florida has received multiple shipments of supplies in this same time frame, on time and unmolested by federal authorities. the difference? governor ron desantis is buddy buddy with trump and florida is a big swing state for the election. states that get on trump’s shit list are having to beg, borrow, and steal so that more people don’t die.

this is deeply, incredibly fucked and i don’t want anyone to ever forget it.

2D Cravings

Hi! Here is a blog that I honestly needed to work on for any writing I do. When I'm not trying to drown my sorrows in tea, you can find me writing on Ao3. I'm a English graduate who got a job to fund her 2D boyfriends. I love art, gardening, traveling, and my cats.
