GLITCHY THE PRETTY FAERIE PRINCESS

“What if Blue was wearing something Megan Thee Stallion wore” then I remember that I’m an artist and locked in.

Also here’s the reference:

Blue is so cool but now I gotta speedrun the last 4 chapters because I am just now getting into Deltarune

Have some Blue fanart.

I haven’t really been posting a lot of art lately due to multiple factors but it’s specifically stress and lack of motivation.

Also I barely even post art on this account anymore and that kind of… sucks.

So I decided one time to just make a blog for my art! I’m still going to be posting art on my main from time to time to time but most of the art is just going to be on this blog right here. It will probably also just be reblogged on here tho.

Okay ty

I am still going to update that big post on the recent rise of anti-blackness. It's been days since I have updated that post (I did make a post explaining why that might be) and I do apologize for that.

That being said, I'm am glad that the post gained as much as of a reach as it did. Anti-blackness has become much more present throughout the recent weeks and it needs to be known.

However, with the amount of anti-blackness that has been happening, along with things going on, continuously adding to the list is going to take time, time that I sometimes do not have. I am one person with a lot of my plate and mind.

As I have mentioned before in my previous post regrading how this post will be updated, I have received comments, reblogs, and asks about certain topics or information to add.

I am asking that if you know anything that should be added to the post, please inform me! Also please include sources (I am still most likely going to look it up for myself but it would be better to provide a source for your information one time.)

As I said, I am one person with a lot on my plate and a lot on my mind. It would be really helpful if people would lead a helping hand.

But, small announcement, I am planning on remaking the whole post, to include additional information, corrections, more organization, and including more topics added on like originally planned.

I think what I am going to do is revise the older topics and information, as well as go over the information I have gathered for the topics I had planned to include, along with new topics that are added. I will hopefully release the post by the end of this month.

And again, I once again encourage you to please continue to speak up about the recent spike in ain’t blackness. It needs to be known about.

MY HOME IS ON THE LIST/LIKELY TO BE TARGETED, WHAT CAN I DO?

* it may bring you peace of mind to have a go-bag ready, just in case. A go-bag is a bag with everything in it that you need to get out a volatile situation quickly. Any bag that can be secured (buttoned or zipped) will do. In your go-bag, you should include;

- identifying documents; passport/driver’s license/asylum card/ILR certificate/British Residency permit card

- Wallet and/or banking books

- A spare charger & cable and/or a power bank

- any shelf-stable medication (tablets, inhalers etc.) if you are on medication that needs to be refrigerated, leave it in the fridge until you have to leave

- Sanitary items; toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary pads & tampons, deodorant. If you have very young children with you, you may also want to take your nappy bag.

* If you have to leave, a go-bag is a convenient way to ensure you have everything of importance with you.

* If you are being supported by an asylum seekers or refugee charity, or are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help. If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too.

* IN THE EVENT THAT “PROTESTORS” DO COME TO YOUR HOUSE, CALL 999 IMMEDIATELY, AND FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THEY GIVE YOU. MOVE AWAY FROM ANY WINDOWS. DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY EMERGENCY SERVICES.

I’M AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT/CARE WORKER/NHS WORKER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

* Contact your student welfare office/NHS Trust/agency for advice, support and referral to organisations that may be able to provide assistance

* if you live in or commute through an area that is likely to be targeted, contact your lecturers and your faculty to find out whether remote study is possible; if you work in care or as part of the NHS, find out if it is possible to change shifts.

* If it would provide peace of mind, prepare a go-bag as listed above

* Reach out to your the uni society or student’s organisation for international students or students of specific ethnic origin; they may be able to provide you with direction to resources and peer support. If your university has a Marxist or Socialist society, reach out to them for mutual aid with a travel buddy etc., for getting to and from your place of study/work

* If you are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help.

* If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too for assistance with travel to & from work.

* Report any racism or racialised violence you are subjected to. NHS staff have a right to refuse to treat patients who harass, abuse, threaten or insult them; if a patient is racist to you, where possible, ask another member of staff to take over their care.

PERSONAL SAFETY:

* do not leave your home unless strictly necessary. If it is necessary to leave, don’t do it alone.

* use NextDoor, WhatsApp, social media and word of mouth to avoid commuting through “protestor” road blocks, areas of active conflict etc.,

* When travelling, use Share My Location or Life360, and keep at least two people aware of your expected time of arrival at your destination with instructions to contact the police if you do not let them know you’ve made it safely

* do not directly confront any individuals involved, or allow them to bait you into becoming confrontational

* only record if it is safe. Do not record individuals directly/from up close

* Do not directly intervene. If you see violence occurring, contact emergency services and if safe to do so, record what’s happening.

ALLYSHIP & HOW TO HELP:

* if you have neighbours, friends, coworkers or acquaintances form targeted communities, reach out to them. Ask them what you can do to help them feel safe.

* If you live in an area likely to be targeted, reach out to any vulnerable people you know. If safe and possible, offer to let them shelter with you in the event they need to leave home

* If you see any incitement to violence online screenshot it; it may prove useful in the event of individual “protesters” being prosecuted

* If you see any specific areas being discussed as targets, alert anyone you know at risk in the area

* Reach out to local refugee & asylum seekers’ organisations, to organisations supporting foreign national care & healthcare workers, and to churches, mosques, gurdwaras; they may be looking for short term assistance in helping to provide for vulnerable members of their community

Knowing this: Do I think every Christian is evil? No.

I can and will critique and even oppose the various views and values of Christianity but that does not mean I will go and attack any Christian for being a Christian.

I can say the same thing about Islam. Do I agree let alone am not opposed with various Islamic views and values? No. Am i going to demonize every Muslim I come across? No.

What I am trying to say is that your critiques about a religion should not justify attacking everyone who is apart of the religion especially if those same critiques can apply to others. I have met and seen Christians and Muslims who are willing to openly critique and even in cases oppose the views of their own religions.

In fact, in many cases, Islamophobia is incredibly tied to racism, which is something you and quite a few other people have brought up. I don't think I have met or seen a single Islamophobe that wasn't racist in a way.
