i love how in the book she is straight up kidnapping people all the time and grace is just like "yeah you get used to it. now get moving before you get forcibly relocated".

the fact that grace is STILL surprised she is sending him to tau ceti against his will honestly speaks to the relationship they have if he truly thinks he is an exception.

he knows her rules and goals, he understands her motivation, he experiences what she is like, and even though he might not consciously grasp the extent of their relationship, he knows. on some level, he knows, or he would not think that all of the rules do not apply to him.

eva stratt: this is not voluntary. if i want you to do a thing, you will do it or i will force you. i do not care about your feelings.

grace for some fucking reason: if i say i don't want to go she will respect that :)

A visual example of antiblackness- really of white European cultural dominance and racism as a whole- applied and hidden in plain sight:

The entirety of the blue section is all of the International section on Europe (interestingly it's got Turkey at the end.)

That yellow box? ALL of Africa.

Just size comparison and context, that orange section is Japan. One singular country vs an entire continent. Every time we say "African" versus having specific European countries and cultures to reference... That's not coincidental!

The damn sink's knocking at the door, gone head and let that in 😐

I was having a day so I doodled them sleeping together + tried coloring

the other thing that annoys me about the whole “oh but there’s so much misogyny in rap music!” type schtick is that like okay, if you actually gave a shit about that topic, you’d be looking at what Black women have to say about it. because they’re the ones who are equipped to make incisive, meaningful criticism on the matter and they absolutely do all the fucking time. but you don’t actually gaf about misogynoir you’re just making noise to justify your racism so ofc you aren’t even aware that this is absolutely a topic that people much more knowledgeable and involved than you are talking about. so just shut up man just shut up

the telltale signs of fiction

Just read the scene of Eva Stratt getting drunk on Dutch gin alone in her office with huge bags under her eyes because she doesn't want to make the decision to put a bunch of people in comas. And calling up her weird little scientist guy just so he can tell her it's a good idea. She's kind of everything to me

anyway zutara is about growth, accountability, stanning katara, and redemption
