Alexandre Cabanel - Detalle de “Ángel caído

1. Fuck up white supremcists in sight.

2. Fuck the people who couldn’t handle this sign and let fear rule them.

Theses signs were put up around my college campus on Halloween night for the second year in a row. If you find this thinly veiled white supremacist rhetoric to be positive or acceptable in anyway, then unfollow me. If you care more about assuaging your white guilt than about creating and maintaining an environment where people of color can feel safe, then unfollow me. If you are uncertain as to why this propaganda is problematic, then I encourage you to educate yourself and open up dialogue with the people these signs directly affect. Black and brown people, be safe. White people, we need to listen and be respectful. These are tumultuous times, and we must not be afraid to take action.

Reasons why I love Static

A good hero works well with others

Look at how the other heroes smile at him, they are genuinely happy to meet him. When Superman saves him, he isn’t upset. He’s happy. He asked to be saved and he was

And it’s not the last time either. You see it here

and here

he works well with the justice league members even though his interactions with them are rare and in between.

He’s literally never afraid to ask them for help

I mean, look at that. He made the bat signal, he was outright asking for help as publicly as he ever could.

and in “Fallen hero” when he thought Green Lantern really had become evil…

Just look at his face. He is shocked. He can’t believe one of his heroes would do this, he tried to figure out why, tried to come up with a reason to explain it, so it would make sense.

And the moment Sinestro, disguised as Green Lantern, hurt Gear. He knew it was true, and he’s horrified that the person he looked up to did this and he’s angry, angry that he didn’t see this.

Static knows when to fight

but he also knows when someone just needs a helping hand

and sure, he jokes around

but he also knows how important the work he does is

and he also knows what happens if he messes up

His family knows what it is he does and they all support him in whatever way they can.

and that’s why I love Static shock. Yes, they touched upon some serious issues

they didn’t dumb it down for the audience, or treat the issues with kiddie gloves, they addressed the issues and those were also the same episodes that they broke the fourth wall. Dyslexia, gun control, gang violence, racism. They didn’t pull their punches on this show.

They showed us a still very much grieving teenager who almost joins a gang in the first episode, who gets powers that he uses to protect other people without a moment of hesitation, not even thinking of getting revenge on his bullies. Even as a superhero, he still volunteers at the community center his dad runs.

Yes, Virgil makes mistakes, he’s still a kid after all, but he’s so genuinely kind and sincere that we can’t help but love him.

I don’t know if it actually is Static shock appreciation week officially, but it is for me

and, because I can’t help myself
