Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

BLM is not a trend

One year ago today, George Floyd was murdered.

Although his killer was found guilty, centuries-old racism and hate still stands. Black Lives Matter is not just a hashtag. It is finally giving voice to the marginalized groups who live in constant fear of bastard police and the system, among others. Do not let it fade into oblivion like a silly trend. BLM represents lives and a movement to improve the quality of those lives and prevent deaths. George Floyd will not be forgotten.

so going off of my previous post because thoughts i guess

ladybug and chat noir with cloak and dagger’s powers as well as the ones they already have. i just think it’d be neat. i also really want them to have more powers and it would fit well with the whole yin and yang thing they have going on. destruction and creation, shadows and light, fear and hope, you get it. also i totally want mari to having glowing daggers, let her have a whip of pure light,(let mari have more weapons, but also don’t)let her have explosions of light but at the same time that’s very concerning because mari is ironically the very destructive one and can be very trigger happy soooooo. and she’s not really the most responsible when it comes to damage or casualties so yeah. but i still want to see it.

moving on, so adrien is really sweet, kind, fun loving and good and we as the audience know that but chat noir has some very dangerous powers and those + cloak’s would be extra terrifying. like he could literally disintegrate you by just touching you, he can bring buildings and monuments down, his powers are honestly left vastly unexplored and underused. (like didn’t plagg wipe out the dinosaurs? if that’s not canon my bad) this is a terrifying power and it’s a good thing it in adrien’s hands because while he can be reckless he isn’t really a violence/destroy first kind of person. but if he was and add cloak’s powers and have the shadows like in the tv show and he would be absolutely terrifying. not that i want him to be, i like that adrien is sweet and kind even if he is a oblivious dumbass and i think his personality works well the black cat miraculous because his kind disposition balances out the destruction. anyway this became kind of a rant about adrien’s powers but yeah, ladybug and chat noir with cloak and dagger’s powers.

note: i have yet to start watching season 4 but i know adrien was a dick to kagami or something but i’m just gonna ignore that because miraculous is a dumpster fire anyway so i’m just gonna pick and choose what i like and ignore the rest like it wasn’t there just like astruc and the writers do ;)

Wondering how the word gypsy is a racial slur? Why are you referring to it as the G word when it literally means a free spirited traveller. What is so offensive about that?

Let me tell you a story, ignorant one. 

Once upon a time, there were a group of people migrating from northern India and Pakistan after the invasion “of the Persian Muslims who have since settled in Trukey, all of Europe, and the Americas These people are called the Rromani.” (x)

Once the pale bird feces people of Europe came into contact with the Rromani, they believed them to hail from Egypt, thus calling them Gypsies. 

Now about what disgusting white people like you have been trying to turn this racial slur into. There is nothing about being a free spirited traveller if you’re called such a word. What is up with white people romanticizing everything to make it seem all nice and rainbows for them?

“They were not nomadic by choice. They moved around because they had to… they were persecuted everywhere they went, and still are, to this day. They were persecuted alongside the Jews in the Holocaust – the Roma & Sinti”. They were forced to have this sort of nomadic lifestyle because “no country wanted them there”. (x)

Let’s not forget these lovely things Rromani people did and still go through because of who they are:

“Forced sterilization (yes, it is still happening)

Eviction

Harassment (by law enforcement as well as civilians)

Fingerprinting (this is happening in Italy right now – all Romani people are being fingerprinted, simply because our race is considered ‘criminal’)

Concentration camps

Starvation

Exclusion from public schools and welfare programs

Bombings (it is not uncommon in places like the Czech Republic for people to throw molotov cocktails into the windows of Romani homes)” (x)

“First and foremost: THE WORD “GYPSY” IS AN ETHNIC SLUR. It is a pejorative. It is an exonym that is hurtful and offensive. You need to accept this, period.

We are NOT your halloween costume. We are NOT your flowy skirt. We are NOT your fashion sense. We are NOT your wanderlust. We are NOT ‘boho.’

Gypsy is not fashion. Gypsy is not traveling. Gypsy is not a headband or a costume, or boho, or a long skirt.

Gypsy is a hurtful ethnic slur used to refer to the Romani people.

We cannot seem to emphasize this enough to people. This word is a slur. It was created to be a slur. Its meaning does not change. It will always be a slur. It will always be offensive.

‘The word is not yours. It’s ours. We can use it as we see fit. You cannot.’ - biggadjeworld 

We are a real people, with traditions, culture, and colorful heritage that spans centuries.” (x)

The “x”s in the post refer to sources you can click on and educate yourself with. On those pages, there are more links to become familiar to this slur and the Rromani people.
