the matyrdom of awful people when they die is something i’ll never understand

[duvenin-blog]

magic tends to find all those powerless children with bright, bright third-eyes. dark arts tend to bring contentment to the angry, shattered people when they would rather it bring them claws. witchcraft tends to protect all the vulnerable people and teach them to find strength in themselves rather than in the craft itself. magic tends to find the survivors, in whatever condition they may be in, and make them whole once more.

❝ I’m just like you. ❞

❝ I have one huge-ass secret. ❞

❝ Nobody knows I’m gay. ❞

❝ Sometimes I feel like I’m stuck on a ferris wheel. One minute I’m on top of the world, then the next I’m at rock-bottom. ❞

❝ I’ve been thinking about why I haven’t come out yet. ❞

❝ Who you are to the world is pretty terrifying because what if the world doesn’t like you?❞

❝ It doesn’t seem fair that only gay people have to come out. Why is straight the default?❞

❝ Sometimes I feel like I’m always on the outside, there’s this invisible line that I have to cross to really be a part of everything and I just can’t ever cross it. ❞

❝ Sometimes I think I’m destined to care so much about one person it nearly kills me. ❞

❝ He’s wearing a woman’s sweater and he’s drunk. ❞

❝ When did you first realize? ❞

❝ I haven’t told anyone. Announcing who you are to the world is pretty terrifying. ❞ 

❝ I have something to tell you. I’m straight. ❞

❝ I like girls. ❞

❝ I’m heterosexual. ❞

❝ I’m sorry. I can’t do this anymore. ❞

❝ I’m supposed to be the one that decides when and how and who knows, and how I get to say it, that’s supposed to be my thing! ❞

❝ I’m done living in a world where I don’t get to be who I am. I deserve a great love story and I want someone to share it with. ❞

❝ Have you ever been in love? ❞

❝ These last years, it’s almost like I can feel you holding your breath. ❞

❝ Disclaimer, this is about to get romantic as F. ❞

❝ She’s cute, but she’s just not really my type. Not because she’s black. I love black women. Not like, you know, I have a thing for black women, I just, I just, I just love all women. ❞

❝ I might not know your name or what you look like, but I want to find you.❞

❝ I’m done living in a world where I don’t get to be who I am. ❞

❝ White shouldn’t be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn’t even be a default. ❞

❝ Sometimes it seems like everyone knows who I am except me ❞

❝ Straight people really should have to come out, and the more awkward it is, the better. Awkwardness should be a requirement. ❞

❝ I mean, I feel secure in my masculinity, too. Being secure in you masculinity isn’t the same as being straight. ❞

❝ I’m just so sick of straight people who can’t get their shit together. ❞

❝ I’m too busy trying not to be in love with someone who isn’t real. ❞

❝ Really, though, there are only two kinds of weather: hoodie weather and weather where you wear a hoodie anyway. ❞

❝ Did you just tell us you’re gay? ❞

❝ Nothing is worse than the secret humiliation of being insulted by proxy. ❞

❝ I fall a little bit in love with everyone. ❞

❝ People are shameless when it comes to cake. It’s a beautiful thing to see. ❞

❝ There’s something about you that makes me want to open up, and that’s slightly terrifying to me. ❞

❝ I knew you had a secret. ❞

❝ I wanted to ask you about it, but I didn’t wan to pry. Maybe I made a mistake. ❞

❝ You get to be more you than you have been in, in a very long time. You deserve everything you want. ❞

❝ I like no endings. I like things that don’t end. ❞

❝ You may actually be the only person who gets more than 140 characters from me. That’s kind of awesome, right? ❞

❝ I have a sneaking suspicion that you’re not 100% committed to your Oreo diet. ❞

❝ I can’t imagine a scenario where I don’t want to kiss your face off as soon as I see you.❞

❝ I feel irrelevant. ❞

❝ They put me in a box, and every time I try to nudge the lid open, they slam it back down. It’s like nothing about me is allowed to change. ❞

❝ It’s really amazing, isn’t it? Someone can trigger your sexual identity crisis and not have a clue they’re doing it. ❞

❝ There’s no such thing as a good idea when you’re in seventh grade. ❞

❝ I feel like I’m supposed to make some comment to underscore the ridiculousness of it all, but honestly? It’s sort of nice not to have to be cynical for a change. ❞

❝ I try not to change, but i keep changing, in all these tiny ways. And every freaking time, i have to reintroduce myself to the universe all over again. ❞ 

❝ You make everything a big deal. ❞

good morning dashboard! a lot of bullshit went down that i want to address. because i can. because i, as a black female roleplayer am impacted ( directly , indirectly , irrefutably so ) by the actions of yesterday. so many words are jumbling through my mind right now and i don’t even know what avenue to start off at , so i’ll just go at them one at a time. 

1. THE USE OF AAVE.   i understand that many of the words used in pop culture today like lit , bet , go off , sis , wig , yolo , bae , ETC gets tossed around in music and then translated into mainstream culture but the ISSUE with its usage is that white people , and white people in particular take these words with no recognition or NO validation from the black artists / intellects / etc they take it from. and this is CASUAL , casual appropriation. they’re just ~words~ what’s the big deal ? the big deal is this. it stems into a LARGER ocean , a bigger body of cultural appropriation that has been happening for centuries. so much of culture , of music , of fashion , of inspiration , is appropriating from black culture. and we never get any accolades or respect. miley cyrus wears dreadlocks and is HAILED for being fashion forward. zendaya wears dreadlocks and she’s shamed for it. says she smells like weed and olive oil. you see the issue there ? if you don’t you’re willfully being ignorant and that goes onto my next point. 

2. TO BE IGNORANT IS TO BE PRIVILEGED.  you know better. you all know better.  you were all taught in school how segregation was downright EVIL. how slavery was an economic system that flourished by dehumanizing and battering black people into nothing more than manual labor.  and some of ya’ll think that once the separate but equal law got passed that racism was over. NO HUSSIES THINK AGAIN !!!! we’re not even 100 years removed from the CRA , the movement , the death of MLK.  the laws have changed but the social instruction , the teaching of diversity inclusion and loving your fellow man has not happened. racism is NOT over bc apparently we have white people chickenshit enough to go on anon and call black muns on here niggers because they’re whiteness is so fragile they can’t handle the truth and can’t handle being told they’re not allowed to have something. GUESS WHAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVEN’T BEEN ALLOWED TO HAVE ANYTHING FOR YEARS AND YOU ALL KEEP TELLING US TO BE QUIET AND JUST ~WORK HARD~ no get out. ignorance is a privilege. white people and sometimes nonblack poc are AFFORDED , in various degrees, the ability to see what the fuck is going on and turn off all receptors of empathy or competence to learn further. i am not afforded that luxury. i see black men and women killed at the end of a police gun. i see BLM getting reduced to violent , pillaging mongers. i’m called the n word on my campus. i’m denied access to some parties because i’m black. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO BE IGNORANT BECAUSE WHITENESS HAS CREATED A WORLD WHERE BLACKNESS IS STILL AN OTHER AND STILL SUBTIER TO WHITENESS. and that hasn’t changed. you ALL KNOW BETTER than to say the n-word. if you see racism call it out.  to be ignorant is to side with the oppressor. you are no better. 

3. SPEAKING OUT.   if you are nonblack poc or a white and you see something on black issues you can still support. don’t go in there acting like you know more than the black muns who ACTUALLY experience the bullshit spoken about. but you can listen to their stories , help by giving a listening ear , by educating yourself on the issue , by learning and empowering with the black community. but silence doesn’t help and i understand that some people feel as if it’s not their place but if it’s not your place you’ll know. someone will tell you. but seeing racism and remaining silent doesn’t solve the problem. white people have a platform of activism that black people get overlooked by. so use that platform but use it smartly. know your privilege and if you can, help, as an ally the best thing you can do is stand by our side and give support but NOT act like you’re going to be a saviour ( and this is not directed at anyone in particular , this is just my take on how to be an ally if you’re white ). and to my nonblack poc people ??? oppression is not universal. we all experience in waves. but the common identity we share in being an OTHER should radicalize us to fight for one another in the best way we can. do not stand silent on black issues. it hurts us. and the fight for equality and inclusion should be across the board. and to those of you who have spoken out , who have recognized their inaction did more harm than good , thank you. 

4. FINALLY , TO MY BLACK MUNS.   i love you. to those of you who have fought the fight last night i applaud you.  i know how tiring and soul draining it can be to yell out for acceptance when it seems like you’re screaming into a void. i understand that completely. may you find rest today. may your spirits be renewed. may your hearts be healed. nothing is more saddening and soul crushing then to realize and recognize that people don’t care about us. that they’d rather be comfortable in their racist ignorance and stoop to calling us niggers rather than to see fault in their actions and move for change. it hurts realizing that people don’t care and that we don’t know how to make them care. and to always have to fight again and again only to be met with opposition is back breaking.  i hope you have found spaces to exist and be free and experience black joy with others. and i hope there can be change , a spearhead , a revolution to make this site just as inclusive for black muns as it can be. and if there’s a way to do that i would love to help , to plan , to mobilize. i hate this site but i keep coming back to it for the connections i’ve made are dearly important to me. 

IN CONCLUSION, THE RACISM THAT OCCURRED LAST NIGHT WAS DISGUSTING. ABHORRENT. AND CHANGE NEEDS TO HAPPEN. IMMEDIATELY.

Look, I don’t even know where to begin because I’m not about to speak up over the voices of black roleplayers - ESPECIALLY young black roleplayers, whose fuckin lives are hard enough growing up, growing up black, growing up in this racist ass culture of ours, just trying to live their lives and have fun, and don’t need to have THIS SHIT heaped upon them - but if anyone thinks that it’s a good ass idea to drop the N word - HARD ASS ‘ER’ AND ALL - into anyone’s but god ESPECIALLY BLACK RPERS - asks then jesus fuck 

you do not belong here. leave.

and if you think that’s it’s not a big deal? 

you do not belong here. leave.

this place is not for you, these people are not for you to harass. if for a single second you’re ANNOYED at seeing this on the dash (again, and again you think, annoyed that this is interrupting your OTP, your fun, your ‘anxious free’ time, your safe space) then

you do not belong here. leave.

you cannot take the safety away from others with your actions (worse still, inactions) and complain about the lack of your own. I implore you to hit the fucking delete button because, and i cannot reiterate this:

you do not belong here. leave.

and as an aside, if anyone (especially black muns) needs to talk and to be listened to, i’m here for you to just let go. i know my damn place, and my voice is not above yours in this matter. on a similar note, I 100% take a good ol’ “shut the fuck up” to heart if I do happen to overstep my boundaries. 

black muns, YOUNG BLACK MUNS, don’t need this.

i ahdjsk just woke up and caught up with what was going on last night. fwiw i don’t think anybody decent uses aave knowingly; it’s a sad product of our society that black culture is swept under the carpet but popularised when white people do it whilst... giving no indication where it came from. there’s shit i didn’t know was aave until i saw that post circulating around. hopefully we can move forward and abandon the appropriative idea of using language we’re not privy to.

also the act of sending slurs was deplorable and i’m... kinda disturbed by the stupidity of defending use of aave and using racism to do it. i heard people knew who was sending shit and didn’t say anything, and if that’s the case ye should be ashamed of yeselves like jfc.

EDIT: also mobile sucks

@betvenom​

the streets were DIM at this witching hour, lit only by rows of flickering streetlamps. cam, a vision in black chiffon, delivers a light kick to the one close by, and they all seem to correct themselves. they dig out a violet shaded cigarette from a silver case, and hold it lazily between their fingers. someone walks past; ❝ Hey—  ❞ and cam calls out with a saccharine softness.

❝ Got a light ? ❞ they don’t need a lighter ( a twinge of their pinky was all it would have took ), but cam desires companionship right now. speaking to the dead made for a morbid temperament, and they’d rather the distraction of small talk and idle NOTHINGS. ❝ I’ll let you have the first drag ? ❞
