|| Meme: If my muse were a god || @bengalisms ||

Syx sat cross-legged at the tiny altar and took a deep breath to ground himself, “I don’t know if you can even hear me. Would any god on this planet listen to me?” he sighed looking down at blue fingers, he wasn’t sure why he even decided on this god of all the choices on this planet, except… “Blue skin. Only the gods are supposed to have that, right?” he rubbed his hands over his large head, “If it helps, I ‘fell from the heavens’ not that I think that helps at all,” he sighed heavily and twisted his fingers together, “I… I’m anything but holy. I’ve done so many horrible things.”

“I hated the god and justice that they rattled on about in prison. Why would their god care about me? How could he even be real? But good will? Mercy? I have to believe in that,” he clutched at his offering, it was painful to think of parting with it, but he needed to. He was a father now. He needed to set an example for his child, “I have to believe that humanity can get better, will get better. I’ve raged against it, shouted and ranted until my face was purple. I did things that I regret so much… hurt people I hadn’t meant to… out of pride and pity and wanting to destroy what I thought was unredeemable. Metrocity… Metro City, there is good here. It can be better, but there already IS good here. It was always just so hard to see when I was so angry.” 

As he spoke his hands started disassembling the object he held. Small tools twisting and moving as he shed the outer casing and began removing wires and carefully pulled out the power supply.

“How do I come back from that?” he looked up at the alter, bright green eyes pleading, “Rajiv. God of Good Will. I don’t know if I have gods of my own. If they died when-” his throat closed and he couldn’t finish the thought, “But I have to believe in something. It might as well be in what I already believe in.”

 From the debris of the dismantled object, he began freeing pieces and placing them on the alter’s base. When he was done he began piecing together the remnants again. When he was done it was a shell of what it had been, awkward with so many parts missing. No more destruction. No more pain. No more death.

Staring down at his gutted de-gun, only de-hydration remaining, a small smile crept onto his face, “Non-violence.Only for good. I doubt I could ever be a hero, but I can at least not be a villain. The rest is being destroyed as I speak. The death ray, all the guns… I won’t destroy the bots, but dogs are allowed to have teeth,” he bit his lip but he couldn’t bring himself to remove the bear trap jaws of his creations. Be bowed his head forward, “I don’t know if I’m doing this right, but I will do my best to be a worthy being. Worthy of the only home I’ve ever known, even if I wasn’t born on its soil.”

“Oh!” Minion brightened, “If English is a problem I know Russian, French, Korean, and Japanese fluently. Not nearly as many as Sir, but I am fairly decent at a few others too if that helps.”

Chuckling a bit he added, “It is a bit exposed out here, isn’t it?” he twirled around in his tank, “We can certainly go somewhere less in the open,” he hummed thinking about the area around here, he’d been planning on just going back to the Lair, “Any suggestions?”

The amount of different languages on this planet still caught the alien by surprise when the subject came up. “No, voze are… not needed.” More because Azlariel didn’t know them himself, partially because keeping up in English as it stood took some work. When he had a better grasp of that language he’d try something more.

“Ha’e a plaze vat can work.” Not near home, but close. Useable, as well.

“Well, as long as you’re sure,” Minion shrugged one large padded shoulder. Hefting up the container of fish, he bobbed in his tank with a toothy but friendly grin, “Lead the way.”

It’s the food that Azlariel focuses on first before realizing that Minion had continued speaking, and he pulls his focus back to the other alien. Nodding as well, it’s with continued checking to make sure Minion was following that he turns, begins heading in the direction of the place he had in mind.

Minion followed along, humming Happy to himself. As they went along his curiosity grew, “So have you been in the city for long?” Minion really felt he would have noticed a creature like this before now, “I’ve been here since I was barely older than a fry, but the city has changed recently. I’m not really sure I’ve always been in this city, if you know what I mean.”

I’ve been seeing headass headlines this for the past few days, and I simply ignored it bc the media does shit like this for money and clickbait. But I realized this is more than the media tryna get their coins, this is a blatant attack on black women and other woc. So @ white women? I think it’s time we have a little chat. 

1. Beyonce has gone through a miscarriage, and thousands of other women have been through it as well. It is a terrible experience that no one deserves to go through. But Beyonce is a FAMOUS PERSON, and she has one of the largest fanbases in the world. So when she delivers news such as being pregnant with TWINS, of course the beyhive is gonna to go above and beyond when it comes to the reaction.  Ya’ll dragged her through the mud w/ her first pregnancy trying to say it was faked. Now that she’s pregnant for a second time, she’s doing all these photo shoots to further prove the accuracy of it. And now ya’ll are criticizing her for it????? Tryna cover your asses for how you treated her 5 years ago??????? Get the fuck over it, because ya’ll didn’t say shit when these women did THIS w/ their pregnancy announcements: 

2. Serena Williams has been demonized and ridiculed for her body type since FOREVER. People say that her body is “too masculine” and how she’s “built like a man”. It’s fucking gross because Serena is one of the most hard working athletes in the WORLD, and her body type shouldn’t be affiliated with the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into her career. White women, you can’t say that you’re an advocate for equality when you criticize a black woman’s photo shoot, deeming it “soft porn”, and yet you praise THESE photoshoots: 

When a white woman, or hell even a non-black woman does shit like this, ya’ll are so quick to write article about how “empowering” they’re being. But when a black woman does it ya’ll all of the sudden wanna further sexualize and make it about “soft porn”??? Get over yourselves and let a black women love herself after receiving massive amounts of slander for her body type. 

3. The role in Ghost in the Shell is definitely about race. If her character’s mom is Asian, then why tf couldn’t they just get an Asian person to play the character in the damn first place???? 

She should’ve just said “a woc deserves the role more than me, but unfortunately I can’t control who they cast” and then moved on. But nope, she had to make it about herself and disregard the fact woc are hardly ever represented in movies, especially Asian women.   

4.  You can’t criticize a movie you don’t even relate to on a cultural level. Moonlight takes the components of black struggles, black culture, black life, and puts it into a true cinematic experience. You don’t have to like the movie, but the movie itself is more about whether you “like it” or not. It’s whether you relate to it, whether you feel with it, and whether your experiences correlate with the character’s experiences. A “better plot” wouldn’t do shit Becky, you either get it or not. Not to mention Camilla Long was kissing La La Land’s ass: 

So the point of this post isn’t to slander all white women and shame them. The point of this post to to show how frustrated black women are with white feminism. White women can be just as racist as white men, and they sure as hell benefit off that privilege. This is why a lot of black women these days kinda go side eyed when a white women says she’s a feminist. Are you a feminist for all women? Or are you a feminist for WHITE women. Please don’t call yourself a “advocate” for women if you’re gonna spend all this time bashing black women and other woc. Just say you hate black women and go. 

IF YOU DONT FUCKING PREACH
