It doesn’t matter how inexperienced or unprepared you think you are, if suicide squad can win an oscar, you can get that job you’re applying for.

Exactly how I'm feeling. I've never posted or anything about how lonely I feel, but I'll share this because it says what I can't put into words.

alone vs loneliness

there’s a difference between being alone and being lonely.

being alone is nice.

it’s nice to read alone in the library. it feels nice to walk home while listening to music by yourself. it’s a good feeling to be home alone on a saturday night, just watching movies and such.

when you’re alone, you can finally think clearly and free.

however, being lonely is a completely different story.

loneliness is when you feel as if no one is there for you.

you aren’t emotionally close to anyone.

it’s when it feels as if all of the bad thoughts are eating you alive, but you have absolutely no one to confide in.

it’s as if you’re in a room full of a hundred people, but it’s as if you’re the only one.

loneliness suffocates you until you can’t breath. and when you try to scream into the emotional void, no one will hear you.

it’s nice to be alone, but it’s the worse thing to be lonely.

THANK you

I finally read the Ilvermorny story and… I loved it? I’m genuinely upset that so many people hated it. The complaints make no sense, every one of them is resolved in the story, did the haters actually read it or are they just bandwagoning? Anyway, let me break the complaints down and why I don’t agree with them.

It’s poorly written

No, it’s just not written how you wanted it to be. It doesn’t read like a chapter from a Harry Potter book, but instead like a fairy tale or a myth, which makes sense for an origin story like this. That’s what it is, an origin story, and a clever one at that.

The protagonist is an Irish girl instead of a Native American

If J.K. Rowling had written a Native American protagonist, you would have accused her of appropriation. Don’t even try to tell me that you wouldn’t, I’ve seen it happen many times before. Rowling is probably aware of that being a writer in the 21st century, hence why she chose to instead go with a character closer to home. Still, she made a point to mention multiple times that Native Americans are a vital part of the Ilvermorny community and its founding. She even justifies not writing in more specific detail about them (again, if she did, she would be accused of some form of racism) by explaining that Gormlaith had never educated Isolt on Native American wizards. Gormlaith is the villain of the story, and an abuser, and a murderer, and a racist, so yeah, she’s not going to be the best source of diversity.

The magical creatures are based on American folklore

…and? What else would they be based on? Some of creatures in the Harry Potter books were Rowlings original creations, but many such as centaurs, pixies, and basilisks were based on or inspired by European mythology and folklore. Of course the American Wizarding World is going to have American magical creatures.

Ilvermorny is too much like Hogwarts

The entire reason Ilvermorny was created was to be like Hogwarts. Isolt and the Boot boys grew up learning about Hogwarts and dreamed of attending, but were never able to due to the tragic circumstances. The school they built was based on how they knew wizarding schools to be run. Still, it has its own unique aspects such as its sorting ceremony, wand policy, uniforms, and general aesthetic.

Other than Aquaman, who has DC racebent? Actually, DC has less representation that Marvel in general, has less females in general, and less female friendly relationships. So stop hating on Marvel.

“DC HAS LESS REPRESENTATION THAN MARVEL”

we’re talking about the current dccu and mcu, okay lets all make this clear. we’re not talking about the representations in the dc and marvel comics.

so: who has marvel racebent? answer: heimdall. that’s it since nick fury doesn’t count. heimdall, has been in 2 movies and is a secondary character.

who has DC racebent? mercy graves, perry white, aquaman, deadshot..mercy graves & perry white are secondary characters too. aquaman and deadshot aren’t. aquaman gets his own movie, deadshot is on the suicide squad which gets its own movie too.

now lets move on. how many characters has marvel white wash? i can think only of scarlet witch and quicksilver right now. two superheroes who are part of the avengers.  (update) : thanks to some people who also told me that marvel whitewashed the mandarin… 

who has dc whitewash? i cant think of anyone right now i dont think they have whitewashed anyone in the current dccu

now more. how many movies has marvel had so far? 10, including the hulk movie. how many of those movies had a poc lead? 0. woman lead? also 0. 

lets move on to dc. how many movies has dc’s current cinematic universe have so far? ONE. how many poc lead movies? 0. how many female lead movies? 0. so basically. 0/1. mhhhhhhhh. 

how many movies is marvel planning to do in the future? 11 (excluding anything with spider man yet). so basically marvel has 21 movies. how many of these movies have a female lead? 1!!!! 1/21!!!! how many of marvels movies has  a poc lead? also 1!!!!! 1/21 WOWW 

how many movies has dc planned (excluding JL dark bc we dont know anything about this yet)? 10. so basically dc has 11 movies. how many female lead movies does dc will have? 1. so 1/11. how many poc lead movies? 2. and maybe even 3 considering we dont know which green lantern we will get which makes it 2/11. still not much but more than marvel has. 

so basically DC has 3 out of 11 movies with female or POC leads in 11, while marvel has 2 out of 21. 

here are two charts.

wow. marvel is so good in representation!!!

considering they pushed back black panther & captain marvel’s release date to the next year even though they were marvel only and first poc and female lead movie to make place for the spider man movie.

“DC has less females in general”

of course they have. DC has only one movie so far. dc has only have one main woman so far??? because they’ve only had ONE MOVIE SO FAR.

 DC also has suicide squad which is the first origin team superhero movie to include more than ONE woman on the team. it also has amanda waller a black woman having a big role.

avengers? nope. guardians of the galaxy? nope. justice league? nope. fantastic four? nope. but suicide squad has it and it’s coming already in 2016, basically next year.

you cant even compare marvel to dc because marvel has almost 10 more movies than DC. and even if you’d compare them, marvel studios has less representation which is kind of sad and weak

so next time you say “dc hasnt racebent anyone and marvel is better in its representation” check your information and sources because i know my stuff.

I don't understand how people don't get this

Clark gives up his own people to save Earth—despite having felt like an outsider here his entire life—and yet people still like to claim that he doesn’t save anyone.
