 you know ur kickstarter is going to fail, right? tumblr and the rest of the world doesn't
 care about visual novels featuring black people nearly as much as you seem to think they
 do. just look at how little notes your little project gets.

Iā€™m going to point out some weird things about @projecttrinityā€˜s upcoming visual novelĀ ā€œWomen of Xalā€ in relation to this site.
1) Itā€™s an upcoming Kickstarter bound otome game that very obviously is PoC / People of Color  WoC/ Women of Color centric. Weā€™ve got a bi female lead with several romancable women. And itā€™s in a harsh matriarchal society ready to give some brutal parallels to our own. Being helmed by a very capable and snarky Black writer. The two programmers are women. The artists are women. The singers are women. One of the animators is a woman. AND THEREā€™S TANGIBLE QUALITY TO IT! I thought weā€™ve been asking for more projects like this for years now. But Tumblr has been the most quiet of the four sites

itā€™s updating on???

 (Youtube, Facebook, LemmSoftForums, Tumblr)Ā 
2) How are hateful anons finding this project before everyone else? Why are we letting Black creatives feel like the anon has a point about Tumblr not caring? Isnā€™t this site notorious for propping up content like this? Where are my feminists at?!
Like, I truly get it: Most of you will have only just heard of this. And Tumblr didnā€™t make it easy in the first place. Tags and timing are madly important. But so are reblogs and follows! Youā€™re reading this now - thereā€™s nothing truly stopping you from showing that anon the middle finger. For every time WE DONā€™T JUSTĀ ā€˜HEARTā€™ A CREATIVEā€™S POST and reblog/follow their content, we prove hateful anons like this wrong. And every time we prove them wrong, we send an encouraging message to other minorities who want to share their passions with the world, but face that uphill battle.
And hey, the writer clearly has faith in this site still:

You can find out more about the projectĀ here.
Or, better yet, follow, and support the team here!

(Bonus Note: If youā€™re someone who has been reblogging a lot of content from this team as well, cheers, fellow sisters! 3)

Something unrelated, but, please help support! :)Ā 

Tumblrā€™s pretty good about ignoring black creators, hell alot of black people on tumblr are pretty good about ignoring black creators. Which really goes to show you most of the folks on here are just being performative for good noodle stars and arenā€™t really about anything.

    Alive, Arthur, and Best Friend: akingandhiswarlock:

brolinmerthurendlesslove:
#ughĀ #heā€™s saying thank you for choosing me even though i know how much your father means to youĀ #and i will love you and protect you forever and always donā€™t you worryĀ #you were the only one for me and i wouldnā€™t have it any other wayĀ #all with the look in his eyes  (via magikalk)
Now that Iā€™m watching their faces on repeat, Iā€™m realizing what their looks really mean in this moment.
I have no doubt that Arthur protected Merlin from Uther more than once while he was alive; Uther handed out punishments like candy to anyone less than a knight, and we all know Merlin often made mistakes because heā€™s The Worst Manservant Ever. Even so, I donā€™t think it ever occurred to Arthur that Uther would kill Merlin for anything. Earlier he asked Merlin why Utherā€™s ghost would have tried to kill Guinevere, whenĀ ā€œhe knows how much I love her.ā€ I think he thought the same thing about Merlin. Uther had seen the bond between his son and Merlin a lot more than heā€™d seen Arthur and Gwenā€™s love. It was obvious to everyone in the castle how much Merlin and Arthur cared about each other. I think itā€™s breaking Arthurā€™s heart right here to realize that Uther really did care more about his legacy than about how Arthur would feel if Merlin, his best friend and closest companion, were to die, when Uther knew the unspoken love his son had for Merlin.
And Merlin, just like it says in the tags above, is realizing that Arthur really will put him first when it comes down to it. Arthur didnā€™t hesitate to send Uther backā€“didnā€™t try reasoning or talking to him like he had before. Arthur blew the horn without even stopping to let him finish his sentence, because once his father tried to kill Merlin, he was done with him for good. I think Merlin is seeing, once again, how worthy Arthur is of his loveā€“how brave and strong his king must be to stand up to his father like that, when heā€™d spent all of his life respecting and fearing Uther. Heā€™s relieved that he was saved and his magic wasnā€™t found out, but heā€™s also just so proud and loving Arthur more than ever.
Merlin and Arthur is literally just the best love story ever.

 If ICE Agents Show Up At Your Door:
 Don't open the door, but be calm. You have rights.
 Ask what they are there for, (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
 If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge* and
 if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
 If they do NOT have a warrant signed by a judge*, you may refuse
 to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
 If they force their way in, don't resist. Tell everyone in the residence
 to remain silent.
 If you are arrested, remain silent and do not sign anything until
 you speak to a lawyer.
 An ICE administrative warrant (form l-200, I-205) does not allow them
 to enter your home without your consent.

I need to talk about this scene. This scene actually, physically hurt me when I watched it in theaters, and cemented Iron Man as a bad guy in my head.

Sam Wilson saw his friend get shot out of the air. He was too late to save him; he watched his wingman die, and he was powerless to do anything.

So imagine how he feels when the shot that was meant to hit him hits Rhodey, who begins to plummet towards the ground. He immediately dives after him with zero hesitation, but heā€™s just not fast enough. He even apologizes to Tony, although he has nothing to apologize for.

And do you know what Tony does?

He shoots him. Point blank.

I donā€™t care if Tony didnā€™t know about Riley. It doesnā€™t matter. Sam Wilson just risked his life going after Rhodey, probably having flashbacks the entire way down, and he fails. Again.

And Tony doesnā€™t care. He shoots him, and heā€™s so close that the force of the shot sends Sam somersaulting backwards.

Sam did nothing to injure Rhodey in any way, and even tries to help, and Tony. Fricking. S h o o t s. H i m.

How can you support or stan this disgusting man?


Also, if I recall correctly, Sam Wilson served as a pararescue airman. That means heā€™s a trained medic, he could have helped Rhodey and probably would have if Tony hadnā€™t shot him point blank in the chest.


Yeah, either tony is that much of an asshole that he didnā€™t bother to get to know Sam despite him being part of the team for two years or heā€™s that much of an asshole that he shot a trained medic in the chest. 


And letā€™s not forget that using a repulsor blast that powerful, powerful enough to throw him back like he was shot with a shotgun, at relatively close range, on a target with no power armor (and no the falcon suit doesnā€™t count, itā€™s for flight not protection) could easily have killed him. Shock, cracking his head on the ground, stopping his heart from the force, that could have killed him. I mean, samā€™s a tough cookie, but that wasnā€™t ā€œthe hulk punching thor after the battle because he didnā€™t forget about his insult from earlier, but they both know heā€™s gonna be alrightā€ itā€™s ā€œTony is so selfish that he is willing to potentially kill sam because he hurt rhodeyā€

Despite all of this, Samā€™s first words to Tony, after being imprisoned thanks to him, isĀ ā€œHow is Rhodes?ā€
Concern for a former team-mate is still foremost in his mind, despite the fact that going back to help, rather than following Steve and Bucky to help them in Siberia,Ā is what landed Sam in the Raft.
Then Sam turns around, and we see that half of his face is one massive bruise, and he is moving slowly.
Yeah, no, that is never going to be justifiable.
ā€¦
Also, what is to say that Rhodeyā€™s injuries werenā€™t made worse by Tonyā€™s attempts to help, since the guy with medical training was injured and potentially unconscious thanks to Iron ManĀ ā€˜getting angry and reactingā€™.


Sam Wilson wasnā€™t offering to help. Sam Wilson was standing there, looking at him, and the guy with PTSD and trust issues properly assumed that the fucker would take another shot. 

Like, youā€™re expecting him to think clearly? Why would he react any other way? 


Yeah, I expect him to think clearly. Heā€™s an adult. Cut it out with the PTSD defense; just because someone has a mental illness like that doesnā€™t excuse their actions.
Sam also has PTSD. He was probably having a vivid flashback to the time his friend died in front of him in much the same way. So, excuse him for sitting there, reliving all his past mistakes, beating himself up because maybe if he has been faster, or if he had done this or that, Rhodey wouldnā€™t be paralyzed.
Get the hell off my post with your gross Tonky defense and cry to someone who cares, because I donā€™t. 

plus, sam did nothing to rhodey. all he did was dodge a shot from vision that would have killed him if it connected. he has no protection in his flight gear so if he fell from the height that rhodey did he would have died. Tony shot him for not allowing himself to be killed, even when he was apologizing and could have helped rhodey. tony stark is trash.
