I’m too lazy to find pictures but ya know in Captain Marvel when Carol said like ‘does putting your symbol on everything help you with the secret part of your job?’ And then Wanda recognized Geraldine because of her Sword pendant? Like... y’all do know what ‘undercover’ means, right?
So I’ve been reading Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Talents, the sequel to Parable of the Sower, and check this shit out:
The novel is set against the backdrop of a dystopian United States that has come under the grip of a Christian fundamentalist denomination called "Christian America" led by President Andrew Steele Jarret. Seeking to restore American power and prestige, and using the slogan "Make America Great Again", Jarret embarks on a crusade to cleanse America of non-Christian faiths.
OH AND THE FUCKING KICKER DIRECT QUOTE ABOUT HOW HE GOT ELECTED:
Interesting that they fear [his opponent’s] supposed incompetence more than they fear Jarret’s obvious tyranny.
How could anyone say no to that face?
When Chanel #5 said to Chanel #2 (Ariana grande) “it’s too bad you had to die before we found out what ethnicity you are”
Taylor, pre 2018: hints at political support of the lgbtq+ community through lyrics, by having gay protagonists in mvs and by making large donations to queer charities, despite knowing that much of her fan base is southern/republican country music fans
The general public: makes literal signs at marches stating that her silence is deafening, violently and vocally hates her for not being vocal enough
Taylor in 2019: has had enough, took extra time to learn from queer friends about the culture and the difficulties faced in that community, displays her support in an unequivocal essay, makes it the focus of her album, tweets and instagram, makes undeniably huge donations to queer charities, and creates a petition for the equality act which has been signed by countless fans
GP: QUEERBAITER! ONLY DOING IT FOR MONEY!! ELECTRIC! CHAIR!!
OH NO HE'S HOT
I told Eruto that we’d never get an ask like this, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.
