For those that don’t know, Brock’s mom and dad both bailed on their kids to go dreamchasing for a bit and he had to look after NINE siblings on his own

In other words,

SHOTS FIRED

Brock also just kind of left those same 9 siblings so he could travel the world with a 12 year old and his electric rat

Brock literally hung tight until his dad came home, gave said dad a stern shit-talking about how much of a worthless deadbeat he was to his face, refused to set one foot out of Pewter City until he was sure the dude would stay and take care of his damn kids, and then left to follow the dreams he was never allowed to follow because he was too busy cleaning up his parents goddamn mistakes.

But, like, go off, I guess.

If the one in the first pic is his mom, why does she look younger than him?

Because she’s not the one who had to raise 9 kids.

It’s totally cool how the official White House twitter is pushing white nationalist talking points.

important to note that this isn’t even being disguised as anti-illegal immigration.

the white house is taking a stance against LEGAL immigration here. their infographic says “admitted to the US”. it’s blatant racism.

Me in history class: Wow, humanity has been through some fascinating times!  I wonder if I’ll ever live through major historical events!

Me now: NO NO NO NO NO I WANT TO GET OFF THIS RIDE

I imagine this post sees a significant surge in attention every time something New And Horrible happens, but I’d wager a bet that Covid-19 has caused the biggest surge yet.

This existed BEFORE the Coronavirus?

Also, this family was providing space for protesters to escape tear gas and get medical attention in their restaurant before the fire:

…the Islam family opened a room in their spacious restaurant to medics, who set up a makeshift field hospital. Ms. Islam said she saw at least 200 people come in and out on both Tuesday and Wednesday night. Some needed to catch their breath after inhaling tear gas, she said. One woman had been hit in the eye by a rubber bullet, damaging her vision. A rubber bullet tore open the back of another man’s neck. When he fell unconscious, the medics laid him out on a table.

Villain: Dude, what about Frank?!

Hero: … who?

Villain: Frank! Franklin Jones! Wears my henchmen’s uniform, had the key to my door, GOT MURDERED BY SOME ASSHOLE TWO WEEKS BEFORE HIS KID’S BALLET RECITAL?!

Hero: … you know your henchmen’s names?

Villlain: OF COURSE I DO! I SEE THESE PEOPLE EVERY DAY! THEY’RE MY FRIENDS! What, you thought I just went to the fucking minion store and bought three hundred assistants?! People don’t work for evil overlords unless they really like the evil overlord!

Hero: Well, I mean, I though henchmen were just kinda… there?

Villain: … you thought Frank. Whom I entrusted with the key to my personal chamber. Who I named the godfather of my children. Was just. There.

Hero: YOU HAVE KIDS?!

Villain: HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THAT?! WE’VE BEEEN NEMESI FOR DECADES!

Hero: WHY WOULD I KNOW THAT? YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE I WANT DEAD!

Villain: HOW AM I THE VILLAIN HERE?!

story time.

the look in your eyes is what gets me.

“so i return to my body.. from the other plane of existence.. in which i scream”

DEAD

“Story time.

I have this one white friend.

And - [mocking] I have this one white friend, I’m not racist. And like - where was I even going with this? [laughs] She’s not even my friend, she’s just someone I know. Okay, whatever, ‘kay, so this one white person that I know - [under breath] (I know a lot, my entire town is white.) Anyway, um, one day, she comes up to me, and she’s like,

Jenny, what are you?” and, you know, that’s like white person talk for like, [sarcastic mocking] “what FUCKING country do you come from? Like obviously you’re not from here.”  And I’m like, “um, I’m Chinese.”

And she’s like “What? You’re Chinese?”

And I’m like, “Yeah, I don’t know why that’s so much of a surprise.”

And she’s like “Well, I thought you said you were Asian.”

And - [deep breath] [pause] there was a moment, a good minute and a half, where I left my body and ascended onto another plane, and I screamed into the abyss of that plane [pause] because she did not know that Asian and Chinese are… I, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t even… you know, whatever.

So, return to my body, from the [pause] other plane of existence in which I scream. A lot. And I tell her: “You know, China, China, you see, the country that I’m from, is a part of Asia.”

And she’s like, “Where’s Asia?”

[whispers] She asked me. Where Asia is.

And I say, “Well, Asia consists of, you know..” and I list the different Asian countries and she’s like “Whaat?”

And I’m like [sarcastically] it’s, it’s this thing, you know, that you learn about in like third grade geography. It’s a continent! And she’s like “A continent?”

And I’m like “Yes.”

And she goes, “so it’s not a country?”

I’m like, “No.”

And she’s like “What’s the difference?”

And I’m like [deep breath] “America, you see, has like North, Central, South, so like, take somewhere from Canada; they are North American but they’re also Canadian…”

And she’s like “I don’t understand.”

And I’m like “It’s okay, just know that I am both Asian AND Chinese” and you know what, she is still confused to this day, and I [pause] am still on the other plane of existence, screaming, as I tell this story to you. So you can come join me, on the separate plane of existence.”

I WILL ALWAYS REBLOG THIS SHIT BECAUSE IT IS TOO REAL, TOO TRUE.

I’m actually crying

Some wonderful quotes from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Iroh: Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame. 

Iroh: There is nothing wrong with a life of peace and propserity. I suggest you think about what it is you want from your life, and why. 

Iroh: While it’s always best to belive in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing! 

Iroh: You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength. 

Iroh: It is important to draw wisdom from many places. If you tale it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. 

Iroh: Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love. 

Iroh: Sometimes life is like this tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place.

Iroh: There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you. Not that I love you, I just met you!

Iroh: Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life’s true delights!

Iroh: Are you so busy fighting you cannot see your own ship has set sail? (hehe)

Iroh: With a poor stance you are unbalanced and can be easily knocked over. With a solid stance you are a much more serious threat!

Iroh: Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you?

Iroh: It’s time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you? and What do you want?

Iroh: Now you’ve come to the crossroads of your destiny. It’s time for you to choose. It’s time for you to choose good.

Iroh: I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you’d lost your way.

Iroh: Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not. 

Iroh: Leaves from the vine, falling so slow, like fragile, tiny shells, drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy, come marching home. Brave soldier boy, comes marching home.

Lion Turtle: The true mind can weather all lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the world, but always yields to purifying light.

Lion Turtle: To bend another’s energy, your own spirit must be unbendable… or else you will be corrupted and destroyed.

Avatar Roku: Some frienships are so strong, they can even transcend lifetimes. 

Avatar Roku: When love is real, it finds a way.

Aang: It’s easy to do nothing, it’s hard to forgive. 

Aang: The past can be a great teacher. 

Aang: When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.

Aang: What?! I’m saying I’d rather kiss you than die! That’s a compliment! :/

Aang: If anything, their story proves anyone is capable of great good and great evil. Everyone, even the Fire Lord and the Fire Nation, have to be treated like they’re worth giving a chance. 

Aang: Baby, you’re my forever girl. ;)

Avatar State Aang: FIRE LORD OZAI, YOU AND YOUR FOREFATHERS HAVE DEVASTATED THE BALANCE OF THIS WORLD. AND NOW, YOU SHALL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!

Alternatively

Aang: No, Firelord Ozai, you’re not wearing any pants! >:(

Katara: But now you’re not letting yourself feel anything. I know sometimes it hurts more to hope and it hurts more to care. But you have to promise me that you won’t stop caring.

Katara: Yes, they have taken away your ability to bend, but they can’t take away your courage and it is your courage they should truly fear! Because it runs deeper than any mine you’ve been forced to dig, any ocean that keeps you far from home. It is the strength of your hearts that make you who you are, hearts that will remain unbroken when all rock and stone has eroded away. The time to fight back is now!

Guru Pathik: You must learn to let go.

Guru Pathik: The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation.

Alternatively 

Huu: Pants are an illusion, and so is death. 

Huu: You think you’re any different from me, or your friends, or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We are all living together, even if most folks don’t act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree.

Zuko: I know now that no one can give you your honour. It’s something you earn for yourself by doing what is right. 

Zuko: Sometimes clouds have two sides, a dark and light, and a silver lining in between. It’s like a silver sandwich! So when life seems hard, take a bite out of the silver sandwich! 

Zuko: You must look within yourself, to save yourself from your other self. Only then, your true self will reveal itself. :’)

Sifu Pakku: With fierce determination, passion, and hard work, you can accomplish anything.

Bumi: You need to find someone who waits and listens before striking.

Smellerbee: As long as I’m confident with who I am, it doesn’t matter what other people think.
