#Respect and Recognition

[melanatedmedia2]

Dear America,

🌍✨ As Black History Month unfolds, let's reflect on the importance of celebrating our diverse identities and the challenges we face in honoring our heritage. It's time to stand together for unity, equity, and understanding. Check out my full message on why we must protect the rights to celebrate every facet of our history! #BlackHistoryMonth #UnityInDiversity

As we step into Black History Month, I reflect on the profound significance of this time—a time meant for remembrance, celebration, and acknowledgment of the Black community’s profound contributions to our nation and the world. During this month, we honor the triumphs, struggles, and resilience of those who came before us. However, I feel compelled to express my concern over the recent actions…

love that zhuo yichen is literally canonically bing yi and ying long's child like he is by blood bingyi's descendant and ying long gives him the last remaining physical part of him to form his demonic core... like that's as close to direct parentage as one can get without actually being physically birthed by the pair

and if we see his demon transformation arc as rebirth then it involved the mixing of bingyi's blood (frequent metaphor for sex in literature btw) and ying long's bone (do we even need to explain) and if both of those things did not have enough sexual subtext, immediately after the whole ordeal we have The Most Uncalled For Mpreg Joke™

like ... how the fuck did this show even pass censorship

Reminds me of someone.

Istvan Toth + respecting Henry during 'The Storm'

(+making these I had a little moment of realisation because. Does Istvan even know Henry's fucking name? He and Erik usually refer to him in relation to Radzig, but I can't remember if they ever actually call him Henry?

hey. can anyone hear me. did anyone else reach part 2 chapter 2 of A Stitch in Time and get gut-punched by Garak receiving a crumb of support and affection from his distant father (a gardener who has dedicated his life to lovingly raising flora in harsh areas where it struggles to survive) and saying that, in that moment, he felt like one of his plants. is anyone out there. oh my god.

Love springs from the inside. It is the immortal surge of passion, excitement, energy, power, strength, prosperity, recognition, respect, desire, determination, enthusiasm, confidence, courage, and vitality, that nourishes, extends and protects. It possesses an external objective - life.

One thing I really want to see happen in Season 4...

Valdo Marx: Nice to see you again, Joseph!

Jaskier: *Heavy sigh* That's -

Yarpen: *Stepping in front of him protectively.* Julian Alfred Pankratz to you, you dying sounding beached whale! Only his friends call him Joseph!

Jaskier: Ah, actually, that's Jaskier.

Yarpen: *Dismissively.* Yeah, I KNOW.

Jaskier: *Getting all teary eyed.* I know you do.

I just want to praise John Eric Bentley for delivering an absolute incredible performance in Rebirth. His fight with Dyne made me sob uncontrollably at 3 am. It was amazing. Thank you for being an outstanding VA.

Since Mycology Qi’s unique fungi seems to be a Pilobolus—aka hat thrower/dung cannon fungus because they launch their sporangium (black tip of the fungus) at high speeds as a spore dispersal method—and they act sort of like assistants in her research, I think it would be funny to imagine them shooting spores at her teammates to keep them from disturbing her.

She wouldn’t even have to turn around or acknowledge them, Qi could just be focused on reviewing an experiment report before Frederick enters the lab tent to talk to her.

Frederick: “Miss Shiyi, I-”

*Pop pop pop SPLAT*

Frederick, still standing in the doorway with his face & uniform now splattered with spores: “…I’ll just come back later.”

Or one of the sporangium hits him in the eye and he screams in pain which only then gets Qi’s attention. Either way, he learns not to intrude while she’s working. Or at least wear eye protection upon entering just in case.

Swansea also has like blueish grey eyes and I've talked about their faded nature compared to Curly's and how Curly's are similar to the mouthwash.

But the point is I think he has those like intense grey blues that make you just as uncomfortable as Curly's harsh crystalline blue eyes he just frowns and squints a lot so you cant see them.

honestly i just sit and think sometimes over like, miravi isn't toxic yuri or anything, they're DEEPLY functional with each other and it's much moreso a cheetah and dog situation where they both get a lot more stable with someone to balance them out.

but the way it looks like is often a lot of arguing and them not being afraid to snipe at each other or call the other out on bullshit. and i keep feeling like everything about the current shipping Moment would suggest that this is toxic — even though this quality, in of itself, is what they like in their relationship and what helps them best. which is a form of relationship that very much works for people! and works well! there's a lot of benefit in having someone you can be upset with and show that upset with without them taking it personally, or in using it as a means to immediately point out and begin working out problems in a constructive manner, problems that would have become a lot worse if allowed to simmer, and the emotional vulnerability needed to do this in a constructive way with someone else! it's actually my preferred form of relationship, because i'm bossy and mean and contrary and i like not being forced to dull my edges and having someone who can dish it as well as they can take it.

it's a bit like arguing for fun, i think. for those who like it and find it really works for them, there's no hard feelings at the end, it's just a way to get everything on the table and debate over a solution. it feels good, giving the high of the exertion but coming back down with emotional reassurance to ensure it's really not any hard feelings. but, for the majority of people, it's so deeply concerning and distressing that they can't even imagine someone like that, that something has to be wrong because they cannot imagine ever doing it constructively, or they cannot ever imagine not taking it personally.

and it's just very odd sometimes, as someone who has a ship like this as a main ship, that people don't understand that kind of dynamic.

Roier is a great content creator who received extremely well-deserved recognition in 2023 and i hope this year is even better for him!! awards that only aim at superficiality are not what will represent Roier for sure, but rather the welcome and affection he has for his community that continues to grow, and treating with respect people of other nationalities who like to follow his content creation because he's very creative, fun and really has a "sunshine energy" that brings happiness to everyone, he deserves many many good things! (y por favor que se enferme menos este año se cuida roiler)
