The Untamed - Wangxian | Cuz I Love You

Got me standing in the rain

Gotta get my hair pressed again

I would do it for you all, my friend

Ready baby? Will you be my man?

(Song: Cuz I Love You by Lizzo)

Aka that time I got so into a TV show I taught myself to make fanvids about it.

radialarch:

so listen: epistolary the half of it post-canon fic where aster goes to art school and ellie goes to grinnell and neither of them are in love with each other, exactly – they can’t be, because they’re young and dumb and sometimes you need a few heartbreaks to understand that thing you’ve only read about in stories

so they go to their respective schools and meet other girls, other boys who make them feel like their hearts are on fire, and they have big, messy breakups, or small ones that are more devastating for how quiet and predictable they were, but all the while they just. keep in touch, you know, one girl to another, long emails and occasional emojis and once, when ellie is lonely and sad and a little drunk, a so did you ever figure out what love is yet

but they grow up, and they find their own paths, and one day when ellie’s moved to new york and it’s the morning commute, ellie’s phone jammed to her ear and her bag full of papers, she rams into someone and her notebooks go flying

there’s a woman who crouches down next to her while she’s frantically scrambling and hands her a book. “well, ellie chu, this feels familiar.”

white people talking about how “new pandemics always come from china” thinking they’re so smart, while ignoring that the proximity to farmland, agriculture and population density in rural areas is like several times that of Europe, Australia and USA. like stop acting as if y'all didn’t literally commit genocide by introducing the flu and go feed herbal tea your unvaxxed kids, karen

stardust-rain:

there are white men don’t wash their asses because they think it’s gay, half of you people don’t take your filthy goddamn shoes off in your own house and track street dirt and dog shit into your own homes and others don’t know how to clean your damn legs properly in the shower. whites don’t get to talk about Chinese people’s hygiene until you learn to reign in that kind of sociopathy and stop bringing back polio

lol so this is gaining notes and making whites cry so let me explain this.

the virus spread the way it did because of collosal government mismanagement borne from nothing more than pride, bureaucracy and stupidity. The local Wuhan government have been dragged by the hair by the media and its citizens for censoring the announcement not giving the hospitals enough support to prepare for the sheer scale of the outbreak. The doctors who blew the whistle as early as December, when the outbreak could have been managable, were detained and social media posts were censored. patients were not given enough information or systemic support to even glimpse how serious it was. No one was taking safety measures and now hospitals and staff are stretched thin.

This post is, in no way or form, diminishing the blame from the government.

HOWEVER. The primary narrative among white twitter and fearmongering gossip rags has been to dehumanise Chinese people as virus-bearing hordes crossing the border to infect everyone they touch. There’s been an increase in racial violence across US, Europe and Australia and a humanitarian crisis is being used to enforce and justify exclusion, fascist rhetoric, and harsh border policies.

The discourse around sanitation and how it’s been weaponised against racialised bodies has long been a tool of white supremacists to enact racial violence, dehumanisation, and oppressive measures, and it’s up to poc to activately push back on those narratives and call out those double standards.

The narrative that the nCov spread purely because of Chinese cultural practises rather than incompetent government fuckup and repression is fascist rhetoric. It is purely based on white violence and enables far-right rhetoric.

As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:

• I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you
• I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you
• I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you
• I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase
• I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all
• I love you
