This is so fucking important. I'm tired of being strong yo. I just want a break...

yo being black and depressed is hard as fuck. being black with anxiety is hard as fuck. being black with a chronic illness or disability is hard a fuck. everybody expects you to be ‘strong’ at all times and no one sees black people as complex or nuanced enough to be capable of suffering. no one ever thinks we could possibly need help. and if you’re a black woman, the moment you stop thinking about others and try to tend to yourself you’re a selfish lazy ungrateful bitch.

support black people, esp women, who need help. don’t just call us strong or tell us we’ll get through it, help us. protect us. uplift us. allow us to be beings capable of suffering. give us the same space you’d give white women to express our pain and be there for us like you would for anyone else.

Letitia Lewis in Lovecraft Country || 1.03 HOLY GHOST

[ihavetoomanyinterestsplshelp]

I am so sick of Lovecraft aficionados saying that Lovecraft Country is bad for “injecting politics where there were none” bahahahahahahaha yeah I’m sure, Lovecraft writes long treatises on how people of color are the spawns of Satan and interracial relationship is a brain-breaking abomination and you’re like “mmmm I don’t see it” but a series is like “racism is racist” and you clutch your pearls at them sullying your perfect horror story that definitely never had anything to do with race, ever. Like this is beyond being oblivious and goes straight into malicious self-deception if Lovecraft Country’s handling of race is bad but Lovecraft’s handling of it was just fine when even people in the fucking 1910s were like “dude, tone it down”.

Let's stop giving Misha's props, hype and flowers to Jordan Peele. Love the guy, but his name recognition was pretty much his only contribution. He's a co-creator alongside Misha but in this case that again is mostly on the business end.

Misha also created Underground. Keep your eyes on this woman.

Lovecraft Country might just be the neatest deconstruction of Lovecraft there is, though.

Lovecraft had a deep, deep fear of anything different or unusual. His stories touted the horrors of, among other things, air conditioning, colors outside the visible spectrum, and non-euclidean geometry. But one that he kept coming back to was race. His view of race and the importance of racial purity was intense even for his time, and the idea that he might have “impure” (read:Welsh) blood in his family was the inspiration for Shadow over Innsmouth. Racism was the order through which Lovecraft made his world and its dissolution his bane, and while he make some progress later in life (thanks in part to less radical friends and his Jewish wife who persistently challenged his views of her people), the idea of race as the ultimate order permeates his stories. People of color either worship his eldritch abominations or are eldritch themselves. The worst montrosity is the idea of these people interacting with good, white folks (and he had a much narrower definition of white than we have today), or even worse, having relationships with them. Merely bumping into a black guy is certain doom. And so on, and so forth.

Lovecraft Country, on the other hand, persistently shows the reality of racism, and it is thus: racism is the ultimate disorder. No law, no rule, no norm is exempt from it. Sheriff Hunt breaks his own laws to get at the black protagonists, making a mockery of his own profession to pursue them. Samuel Braithwaite breaks his own order’s rules when they appear to favor Atticus, a black man. Not even white people are safe from the cancer of racism: take Ms. Lydia, killed for running an equal diner in a non-segregated state. The idea that a person’s moral character or personal worth can be judged based on physical characteristics is a profound disconnect from the reality of humanity, and the effort to maintain the illusion simply causes that rot to spread into the foundation of society itself. Even the most monstrous creatures in the series follow rules, follow order: shoggoths dislike light, the ritual can be disrupted, ghosts may be appeased. Racism doesn’t. It comes from disorder and creates disorder. Lovecraft’s privilege kept him insulated from it, but the truth is that the thing he saw as the ultimate order was the source of chaos beyond his imagining, and Lovecraft Country hammers that in at every turn, from the white supremacist secret society to the eerily Innsmouth-like behavior of white towns who feel their turf has been infringed on.

And quite frankly? That’s a more thought-provoking, insightful, and interesting take on Lovecraft’s stories than any McCthulhu ripoff could ever be.

Fact: Darkstripe is the character who suffered the worst crit fail in the history of the warriors books.

I am literally begging you people. If you are not black do not capitalize on our mourning by drawing Chadwick or his beloved character to promote your art. We are absolutely sick of seeing this. This is literally the only time alone where thoughts and prayers are appropriate.
