Cloechou - Manu

（今年も遅れましたが‥）スティーブンユニバース５周年＆シーズンフィナーレおめでとうアニメ！ (It was very late this year too..) Steven Universe 5th anniversary & season finale memorial animation!

White Pearl is an avatar for White Diamond.

The way she doesn’t walk. The way she only appeared to do White’s bidding. The way she’s—for lack of a better word—T-posing. The way she can phase through walls like a hologram.

The way she’s voiced by the same actress as White Diamond.

Furthermore, if White Diamond is blind, her pearl might be an avatar to “see” through.

Tom and Star hugging but Tom bring Marco in is the sweetest thing I've seen this week. Like it wasn't Star it was TOM.

Here you go: SU x QE crossover magic 

This is a parody comic I made for myself to hand out at SDCC2018 and isn’t official so don’t sweat the small stuff!

Many thanks to ghostdigits for her help. She is my spell checker extraordinaire and listened to me bounce ideas around in the eleventh hour while I worried if I ever knew anything about comedy in the first place. Hahaha…haha….aaa.… go, fight, win/finish a comic!

Day 3 - A friend’s OC

The image quality is bad because I forgot to change its settings, but at least I found an old drawing that I made of this same OC

me @ a 20 years older than me actress: my child

“Aroace people aren’t straight but they still have straight privilege!”

Not being able to talk openly about my orientation without fear of ridicule isn’t “straight privilege”.

Not being able to mention my orientation without worry that it will impact my reputation as a professional or as a student is not  “straight privilege”.

Not being able to talk about my orientation in front of most of my family without fear of them rejecting me isn’t “straight privilege”.

Not seeing any representation of people like me in the media isn’t “straight privilege”.

Not having any education that people like me exist isn’t “straight privilege”.

People telling you that you’re making your orientation up to be special or different isn’t “straight privilege”.

People being uncomfortable with you mentioning your orientation and telling you that no-one needs to know isn’t “straight privilege”.

Being told that your orientation isn’t real isn’t “straight privilege”.

Being told that your orientation is probably a symptom of some medical condition isn’t “straight privilege”.

People assuming things about your life and history based on your orientation isn’t “straight privilege”.

Your orientation being treated as a political stance or a lifestyle choice is not “straight privilege”.

No, aroace people are not systematically oppressed for our orientation. As far as the system cares we do not exist. Not existing, as far as most of society cares, is not “straight privilege”.

The only time I have  “straight privilege” is when I don’t talk about my orientation. At all. The only time I have “straight privilege” is when I let people assume I am straight.

And frankly, having to be silent about my orientation to be respected by the straight majority, isn’t a privilege.

sometimes i feel like having a bare minimum knowledge of how structures of power rule this world through capitalism is a curse that keeps you from ever being truly happy and capable of just. enjoy things again. like the good old days. when you used to play the sims and not think about how a life simulation game this big won't ever be able to simulate your life and culture because a) you are not american. b) the game is made by a multibilion american company for americans and you just started playing it in the first place bc of piracy and cultural imperialism. your parents made you learn english when you were younger so you could maybe leave the country and live a better life than the one they had but the internet happened while you were growing up and every single piece of information you wanted was accesible only in english so you start thinking. ok why everything is so centered around the usa. why is their culture depicted through their media as the default culture. why am i only able to see myself and my culture through their distorted lenses. LIKE OK BRAIN GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK PLEASE MY SIMS JUST HAD THEIR FIRST CHILD IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE STOP I JUST WANT TO VIBE TO THIS MOMENT S HUT UP

“In the United States  A policeman Killed a black man He couldn’t breathe In Brazil, Every 23 minutes, Our youth are executed By this state. Enough! Stop the massacres! Police are murderers!” 

video and translation by Andrew Fishman, source here

this is Rio de Janeiro right now. a wave of protests are about to burst out in Brazil real soon, caused by a LOT of things. police brutality is one of them but this is also about our genocidal and fascist president, jair bolsonaro. last month, being asked about the rising numbers of deaths caused by the COVID-19 (which are killing more black and poor people than whites btw) bolsonaro said: “so what? what do you want me to do?”. yeah. he is this type of bigot piece of shit.

so i’m expecting y’all to extend your empathy to the minorities from outside the US too. 

if you want to know more about our politics, there’s this video (a bit outdated, but one of the best videos in english i saw on youtube about the topic), this video by vox (it’s like a complement to the past video) and i recommend watching the documentary “the edge of democracy” on Netflix.
