These people are insane. Joshua Harris Till is Emmett Till's cousin!

I can't even laugh at this one because of the audacity of the fact that a relative had to put you in check.

[godsfiercest]

Oh you mfs are gonna have to just die

[soufcakmistress]

I have so many ugly things to say. Our community is BROKEN. This is the shit I be talkin about. Misogyny and anti intellectualism going hand in hand. TORY bitch ass committed an actual crime and attempted murder on a Black woman. Emmett Till was tortured and murdered for allegedly whistling at a white woman. How in the actual fuck could you denigrate a literal offender to one of the saddest tragedies of the 20th century? And all that bitch timeline was saying that she doesn’t care. Our community is BROKEN

[chaneajoyyy]

They still don’t want to believe it! And yes she kept posting that she didn’t care but she did care a lot, I told her that on twitter. And he had to gather her twice! Got some nerve to compare the two. Tory was rightly found guilty and justice was served!

I just want to see dark skin girls be love interests too. I want to see dark skin girls as the cute, friendly, desired college cutie. I want to see dark skin men be nerdy and sensitive. I’m so tired of the stereotypes people staple on dark skin. I want dark skin girls with flowers in their hair and cute laughs on my TV. I want to see the dark skin men with gaps and glasses. The dark skin men who like Naruto. I want a wider representation for dark skin characters and I’m going to make it happen. 

[naturally-bri]

Books where the male love interest is a prince in modern times and falls in love with a commoner and is willing to abandon everything for their love but his people accept her as one of them and they get married and rule together happily >>>>>>>>>>

[naturally-bri]

I already said this on Twitter but I have more thoughts and I haven’t posted on here in a while so what the heck.

*Wakanda Forever Spoilers*

I’m happy they cut the romance between Namor and Shuri and let me explain why. A lot of people have been gushing about the scene where Namor shows Shuri his kingdom, as well as him giving her his mother’s bracelet. Now… I’ve always been a sucker for enemies to lovers so at first I could see something here. But then this ship went down the toilet for me.

Immediately after “romancing” Shuri, Namor threatens her mother’s life for RIGHTFULLY trying to ensure her daughter’s safe return, threatens to KILL Shuri and Riri if someone comes for them, and is constantly threatening to destroy Wakanda. And when he DOES kill Ramonda, he shows absolutely NO remorse as Shuri is literally screaming, trying to help her mother. Shit I would be out for blood too.

Now, after rewatching, every “romantic” thing he did towards Shuri feels like manipulation. Like he was trying to soften her up so she would agree to an alliance. “You said you wanted to burn the world, well let’s burn it together.” This line rubbed me the wrong way even on my first watch. In my opinion Namor’s using her grief against her here. Trying to convince her to release all of her hurt feelings violently onto innocent people because HE feels threatened. To help HIM go to war with the surface. He doesn’t give a damn about her grief, he gave her MORE grief and trauma immediately after she opened up about her brother’s death. All he cared about in those scenes, was securing an alliance with Wakanda by any means necessary.

You know the one thing that pisses me off the most about Namor? The fact that he really didn’t have to do HALF the shit he did in this movie. Wakanda had to deal with Thanos, loosing their King (for like the 3rd time) and other countries trying to steal their Vibranum. The absolute last thing they needed was war with an underwater civilization like bffr. I personally believe that if Namor had approached them in a peaceful way, they could have come up with a peaceful solution. But instead his immediate response was to threaten Wakanda and its people because you know… Marvel.

All in all, I don’t care how hot he is. Namor is a manipulative, arrogant son of a bitch who needs to stay as far away from Shuri and the surface world as possible.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

[imperiuswrecked]

Except there never was a romance between them, they never filmed it, they may have talked about it but they specifically did not want a romance between Shuri ans Namor bc they wanted Shuri not be seen as "batting her eyelashes at Namor to convince him".

All the Namor x Shuri shippers keep putting out this narrative that their love/romance was cut but multiple cast/crew said it was never intended to be a romance.

If you wanna hate Namor that's up to you, but Namor was never a good guy, he's an anti hero, he only cares about the safety of his people. His first meeting with Wakanda was him trying to figure out if they would be his allies or enemy. He doesn't attack them until he was threatened, and then his people were killed. Was he right for killing Ramonda? No. But it was in character and followed the motives laid out earlier in the movie.

[naturally-bri]

I know that an official love plot was never filmed. But I’ve been seeing people talking about it a lot and wanted to give my own hot take. All I was trying to say is that I’m happy they didn’t go through with it, and attempting to paint a picture of my thoughts. The scene that a lot of Shuri x Namor shippers cling onto is in my opinion quite manipulative if you think about his motives and everything that happens before and after.

I agree that his first interaction with Wakanda is him trying to decide if they’re allies. But it’s also him demanding they bring Riri to him and saying he has a large army. In my opinion, “I have more soldiers then this land has blades of grass” sounds like he’s trying to intimidate them into quickly complying.

He attacked Wakanda because Shuri and Riri were rescued and in the process a couple of his people were killed. The women in question immediately tried to kill Shuri when Nakia arrived. Which if I remember correctly was his order.

Also I think I should clear up that I don’t exactly hate Namor. I actually thought he was a really interesting character and can understand him wanting to protect his people. I’m just a little passionate is all lol. I know that he’s not meant to be a good guy and I never implied otherwise. This is just me giving my opinion as to why I think keeping his relationship with Shuri non-romantic was smart.

😂😂😂😂

[tiffanyaliyah]

fuck forgiving everyone else. forgive yourself.

[princessstevens]

i feel like we should give it 2 weeks before we start talking about the movie

[princessstevens]

sooo let’s talk about ✨the scene✨. pretty sure my ovaries jumped out my body and made its way to the astral plain.

[naturally-bri]

Ngl I’m quite ashamed of the way my body reacted to that scene 😅

But it wasn’t until that moment that I realized the  parallels between them and it gave me literal chills.

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

[bando--grand-scamyon]

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

[gaylittlepieceofsh1t]

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

[uncleromeo]

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

[twilightt-fantasy]

guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis

[guiltyidealist]

(I’m an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)

[cryptidinks]

- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back

[witcheshaven]

Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.

E.g.

[whatchagonnadoabooouuutttit]

I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

[anonymousmothman]

Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone

[deadlymodern]

Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.

If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Don’t risk it. Your body knows.

If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but you’ll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.

Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.

Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.

Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say “hey dad! Yep, I’m almost there, I’m sending you the route.” outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.

If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say “Betty, oh my god, I haven’t seen you in so long!”. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know you’re trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.

If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like “hey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If you’d like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.” This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when you’re in a crowded train and you notice harassment.

Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.

[goodgirl81]

If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! I’ll go all mama bear and keep you safe!!!
