au where everything is black and white until you meet your soulmate
ADDITIONALLY: when your soulmate dies, the world goes back to black and white
THAT’S HORRIBLE i love it
No but can you imagine having a normal day at work or running errands but then everything suddenly goes black and white.
LEAVE MY LIFE
FUCK I CANT TAKE THIS
Another reminder that white ppl would rather hit the self-destruct button than see poc and immigrants have anything
Fuck off mate. That’s American race politics. Things are not black and white in Europe. The immigrants people voted against here are also white. White Polish people. White Romanians. White people from other European nations. Not poc. White immigrants.
…
Ok is there something I’m not seeing? op said poc and immigrants? Didn’t specify that the immigrants in question were of any single race?
And also fuck the idea that American race politics isn’t in any way similar to European race politics? America was an English colony, which annexed French and Spanish colonies, many of which also had citizens from other European countries? Race politics might be different in Europe, I’m sick and tired of Europeans acting like they played no part in creating and upholding America’s systemic racism just to cover their own asses.
Especially when y’all are just as racist? Racism isn’t exactly dead in Europe.
Oh, and this is a member parliment who supported the brexit.
And here’s a news piece on racism in England! (warning for racism, xenophobia, racism, racism, and violence)
So stop hiding behind your slightly differing race politics and own up to your shit, England and Europe.
shout out to all the black and white cats named oreo, all the orange tabbies named tiger, all the grey cats named smokey, all the black cats named shadow, and all the calico cats named patches
how could i forget the white cats named snowball, shout out to all the white cats named snowball
The theme of Steven Universe, a show I’ve been recently really getting into, in a music box format.
We Are the Crystal Gems
We are the Crystal Gems
We’ll always save the day
And if you think we can’t
We’ll always find a way
That’s why the people of this world believe in
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl and Steven!
And even though I hate crowds, it was kinda nice how full it was. Lots of kids interested in earth science.
ALSO I heard some kid saying excitedly “look, it’s Garnet! My favorite crystal gem!”
I mean he could’ve just meant crystal gem as in…crystal gem but then his sister or friend or whatever was like “I wanna find Amethyst!“
So it seems like.
Steven Universe is corrupting the children’s minds with naughty science.

“We Are The Crystal Gems”

If you’re evil and you’re on the rise
You can count on the four of us taking you down
‘cause we’re good and evil never beats us
We’ll win the fight and then go out for pizzas
