so get this, they had a perfect script, destiel endgame, full gay fest in Heaven, but then the ultimate shitstorm of 11/5/2020 happened and they chickened out, cut Cas off and had to shoot the whole “after Dean died” montage fiasco in two week and that’s the only justification for a dead possum wig and blurry Eileen I’ve got

Each week I’m going to be sharing some funds and/or petitions for black, indigenous, queer, and other groups that desperately need our support in these times.

Please remember that the fight isn’t even close to over - take care of yourself and other’s around you out there!

                                              𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬.

— YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES against the hot stage lights and breathe in adrenaline-soaked air. all you feel is fear, but you can’t allow yourself to be you at the moment. instead, you must slip into the skin of another, a character created over five hundred years ago. “in troy, there lies the scene.” your voice, shakespeare’s words. you chance a glance stage right. fourteen of your peers wait solemnly, curt nods urging you on.

your director, orson hobbs, waits beside them. his gaze pierces. his eyes unpeel you slowly, searching for every hairline fracture, every wisp of a flaw. he enjoys the art of tearing apart and remaking people. later, you think, he will pull you aside and rip you to shreds. perfection, he says, demands cruel management.

what you don’t know, what no one knows, is that there is no “later” for orson hobbs. by night’s end, he will be tangled in a shakespearean plot of his own. no one, not even police, will be able to discern the full story; but when his body is found the next morning, there can be no question that he was murdered.

murdered, perhaps, by the very students he worked so hard to teach.

                                              𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬.

— ENSEMBLEHQ is a dark academia skeleton roleplay inspired by if we were villains by m.l. rio. it revolves around the fourth-year theatre students at alderidge, a small but elite conservatory for the arts, following the mysterious death of their director. follow @ensembleteasers for skeleton teasers and updates until the main is released ! graphic template by @ohscerpcnts.

Nico Greetham is half Colombian, so calling him a "cis white man" feels disingenuous. I get that he's white passing, but so are a lot of other people. So 2/3 of Victor's LI are actually POCs.

?? race & ethnicity are not the same thing! conflating race w ethnicity is common, which is why we should seek out / advocate for better lessons on this subject! nico is a white, half Colombian person and that’s okay, but it doesn’t make him a person of color!

My last say on this matter. Mackie was talking about the way white fans fetish Sam Wilson and his relationship with Bucky. The way you all go amd write fan five on how Sam is some magical negro only there to comfort Bucky and to fuck him into the mattress is fetish and explosive. The way you all ever write Sam as this manly man top who has a high sex drive is exploitive. Mackie is talking about how straight and lgbtq black people can never deviate from a certain stereotype without being fetishes. Mackie is talking about how black men were called gay as a slur because they showed feelings. Mackie is talking about how he wants to break the norms that not just gay men can be sensitive and caring to male companions.

White lgbtq/striaght who are mad will never understand what it is like to be a black person who can only ever show one emotion and get judged if the deviate from it. Mackie so clearly wants gay men to have representation but knows that his relationship with bucky and Sebastian is not the representation he is giving.

White fans who are angry need to step back and ask why your so quick to demonize a black man who is trying to break down toxic masculinity in black culture

boy: send nudes? ;)

me: *sends a picture of stars*

boy: um wtf is this?

me: its me. its us. its humanity, stripped. this is our true nakedness- we are painted with stars and consumed by the cosmos, only to come back again brighter than before. my heart is the sun and my soul is the void.
