KATTI PATANG

Here she is being walked to school under the protection of Federal Marshals because angry white people were ready to harm or kill her. 

Here she is in 2010, eight years ago. 

The generation that enforced segregation is not dead, fucko. They were our fuckin grandparents, and it was not that goddamn long ago. 

like, yes, thank you writers for putting the fact that adam was abusive to eric out there. you did one thing good. but that was all very soon dismissed. it did not have any effects that should have been there. adam never even said sorry !!!

also, rahim deserved better. he was such an amazing and lovable and cool character. and the writers did him dirty by not developing his arc properly. he could have been eric's endgame. they had the chemistry. the compatibility. their relationship was interesting and three-dimentional. rahim never bullied eric. even if rahim was not eventually the one for eric, he shouldn't have been exchanged for that silent, boring, emotionless punch-machine.

but no, of course the writers decided to fuck all that. fuck the healthy gay rep - the religious poc gay rep - and gave the poor eric a flat, boring character with internalized homophobia and no hobbies or emotions. they literally gave this revolutionary character a storyline where he falls for his abuser - literal Stockholm syndrome.

and i can already feel that they're not going to write eric going back to rahim or breaking up with adam because too many cishet fangirls of the show have already started fetishising this uwu broken bad boy and the uwu gay couple

Eric: thank you :)

Adam: is Romeo and Juliet like Frozen?

Eric: 

Sooooo Rahim doesn't make Eric happy like did yall see him on their first date Eric was elated

Not once did Rahim make Eric feel anything less than amazing, confident, and most importantly accepted

They're interactions were always positive even after the awkward church service they talked it out and even told each other ily🥰

But yall had to make Adam and eric a thing sooooo you turned rahim into a stale version of his character towards the end

Even tho he hates musicals he still showed up to support eric but nah Adam likes frozen and selfishly ruins the theater kids hard work soooo ya gotta love him

Shiny new transfiguration professor Albus Dumbledore: “Now you won’t be able to turn your matchstick into a needle on the first try, of course, but—”

Tiny eleven-year-old BAMF Minerva McGonagall with a Scottish accent thicker than pea soup: “Ayy! Ye cannae know that!”

Albus Dumbledore, whose experience with the results of being patronizing to small badass children is insufficient to warn him not to: “Oh, absolutely, young lady, you might surprise us. Or any of your classmates might, it’s true.”

Tiny smoldering barrel of magical talent with “TNT” painted on the side Minerva McGonagall: “What’ll ye give us if we do surprise ye?”

Brightly-colored balloon of good-natured obliviousness Albus Dumbledore: “Why, my dear Miss McGonagall, if you can give me a needle on the first try, I shall allow you to call me by my first name.”
