Honestly, None Of Us Were Prepared For This.

me, checking the news at the beginning of my journey back home : oh thank god there's a ceasefire.

me, checking the news after reaching home and freshening up : ayo what the fuck?

Ceasefire violated within 3.5 hours of implementation. Prime minister claiming the army has gone rouge. Pakistan, loves, i think you have seen this film before and you didn't like the ending

But then, this man is just the same, but he's not a traitor to his own country.

I cannot believe freaking Owaisi has shown more maturity, sensitivity and support for the Hindu victims killed in Pahalgam at the hands of terrorists than the freaking moral policing lefturds.

Please think before you post.

This is for everyone who has suddenly become an expert in intelligence gathering and border security please remember that the Indian security forces have foiled many such attempts of the terrorists to carry out attacks on citizens but the terrorists only have to succeed once to cause such devastation.

It's the myth of the “perfect victim” — the one who has never done anything mildly questionable, doesn't have an iota of supposed privilege, and, above all, is dead. Because the dead can be eulogised, not the living. A minority facing an attack can grieve openly, exact revenge, but the supposed privilege of the victims who were members of the majority must be considered when discussing their deaths, you see. Because we simply cannot be victims of a rabid hate crime. Our death and suffering will be re-contextualised, discussed, everyone and their mothers will use the term “nuance” without knowing what it means. We cannot grieve, we cannot mourn our dead. We can only apologise for dying. For being victims that don't fit the narrative. For the dead can be eulogised. The extinct civilization can be celebrated. But the one that keeps on surviving despite repeated attempts to end it all for good will always face their rabid hatred.

I tried to share my views on my Instagram story too. The message came out much clearer. So just sharing it here on Tumblr.

And some additions I made to put across my point

The wildest thing about Ben 10 is that it took until 2005 for someone to have the idea "what if a kid could turn into a bunch of aliens" like this isn't obviously the coolest and most marketable premise for anything ever. Each design is a new toy. A new powerset. Come on.

But to prove that it wasn't a fluke, they continued to have the best ideas for every aspect of it. How does he transform? A cool watch you can also sell as a toy. That watch's name? Omnitrix. Say it. It's so satisfying. How many aliens? Ten. Nice round number. The kid's name? Ben. The show's name? Ben Ten. His full name is Benjamin Tennyson, a normal, plausible name, but he also turns into 10 aliens.

Bigger brands dream about this synergy. Better writers would kill for this coherence. So holistic. So intuitive. The identity alone!!! The retro alien sound motif? Chilling. The green? Any other color would be wrong. The kirby krackle pattern? It seems so obvious in retrospect. The roadtrip format? Genius. Lesser writers would've done the spider-man high school thing. His arch nemesis being Cthulhu darth vader? Inspired, iconic, intimidating!

The execution has its highs and lows, but the idea??? Game changing. So self-evident that it seems inevitable. If Ben 10 didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

every day the guy who likes me asks me if i care more about pedri than i care about him and every day i tell him yes lmaoooooo

Also both my exes are probably watching the match and thinking of me rn.

What the fuck was that defense bruh?

You all know the funny thing about Pahalgam and Murshidabad? People Actually have the audacity to say that this is a government conspiracy, a propagated lie or just straight up "sab Jhhoot hai" just because they want to cling on to the belief that people from specific religions can only ever be victims or perpetrators, and Hindus are not victim enough

predictions for the inter vs Barça match?? Mine is 1-4

dumfries clearly surprised us all.
