Grasping a Shield of Hope in One Hand...

I miss my best friend.

marikunin — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 01:33:44 GMT

Also known as Allyshar on here. They haven't talked to me since
September 30 and I don't know why...

Thanks y'all for being supportive.

marikunin — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 01:20:43 GMT

As soon as my netbook is back up, I'll write an entry explaining things...

I can't stop crying.

marikunin — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:48:28 GMT

I feel horrible...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Romney Doesn’t Understand Why You Can’t Roll Down Windows On A Plane

So at first when I heard of this I thought it was a joke. I was wrong.

Dad and Debbie gave me birthday money!

marikunin — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 22:27:58 GMT

And a decent looking book on prayer. Now, as for the money...guess who brought herself a new netbook at Rite Aid with the money?
This dork!

...I miss writing.

marikunin — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 00:58:38 GMT

Anyone want to read anything?

Ten years ago today my Mom died.

marikunin — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 11:12:53 GMT

Thus I won't be writing today.

I have a Kindle!

marikunin — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:19:13 GMT

Give me some book recs!

I want to write fanfic. But I don't know what to write.

marikunin — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:59:19 GMT

What should I write?

In memory of those killed at the Sikh Temple shooting.

marikunin — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 01:49:13 GMT

A moment of silence.

So. The Olympics.

marikunin — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:41:49 GMT

Specifically Gabby Douglas.

She's clearly an airbender.

That is all.

So the other day...

marikunin — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 00:22:12 GMT

A cab driver harassed me sexually. Let me explain what happened. I needed to buy a new phone because my old one had somehow died. The cab took over an hour to get to the local library (I'd been misheard over the phone and they'd gone to the wrong town) and I momentarily blacked out visually due to stress when they drove right by me. It was a weird feeling, but it's happened before. Anyway, so it was this guy Omar.

At first, he was nice, explaining what happened. Then he saw the self harm marks on my legs and kept wincing when he saw them. (I told him it was due to a cat.)

Then he taught me a word or two in Spanish and I taught him a word or two in English. After I brought my phone was when things got...uncomfortable. Earlier in the conversation, I had told him my age (he had wondered because I looked so young). He'd noticed my arm muscles due to working out and then saw my leg muscles due to all my walking.

He put a hand on my leg. I thought he wanted to feel my muscle or something. But then he wouldn't remove it. I was confused-I wanted to believe the best of him-but hoped...well, I hoped. Then he took my hand and put it on his leg. (He was wearing jeans) Then he slid it to...well, I didn't feel anything there but jeans but he winked at me. Then he tried to feel my breast. I was like "No!" in a clear, firm voice and he backed off. But because his phone is connected to the cab company, he tried calling me a few times after I left, though he stopped after fifteen minutes.

...I haven't been able to get the incident out of my mind.

The night that it happened, I was very quiet and Dean said via text that I was probably disturbed. Here's the thing. This is really the first time I've been harassed/propositioned in any way. This is uncommon in American society as females and female-looking people get harassed all the time. But I've been spared the brunt of it mostly due to my young looks and how I dress. I'm usually mistaken for a teen if not younger. So there's that.

I took off work the next day because I was so upset over it. I felt-and still feel-somewhat dirty. I felt horrible because now Jordan wouldn't be the first to (try to) touch me in an intimate way. Kate said that what the cab guy did is completely different than what consenting adults do in a committed relationship, and I know that. But...still.

I haven't told anyone in real life about this yet. I haven't even reported the guy, but only due to the fear that upon calling the company, it may go to his phone.

I mean, I told him I had a boyfriend but still, he...sigh I took off work again today too, because I still don't quite feel like myself. I'm gonna go tomorrow though...

...if any of you wanna report him for me, feel free. The # to call is 8455658989 and the offender in question is named Omar.

So, this exists.

Let's compare my and allyshar's story in progress, Stopping Atlantis to this shit.

Save the Pearls: uses blackface as a fucking plot device in a dystopian future that basically shits on modern science (melanin does not equal sunscreen!!!)

Stopping Atlantis: has a diverse cast of queer and PoC characters, and a mix of science and fantasy (atlantis returning would flood the continents we know today)

NOT TO MENTION THE "RULING CLASS" BEING CALLED COALS AND THE "OPPRESSED CLASS" BEING CALLED PEARLS. HA. HAHAHA. VICTORIA FOYT I SEE YOU AND YOUR WHITE RACIST ASS.

Hey Underlankers! I emailed you!

marikunin — Wed, 09 May 2012 11:43:59 GMT

And posted fic!

I have lost the ability to can.

SO EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW

So.

marikunin — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 23:24:31 GMT

The first two episodes of Korra-aka, the premiere due on April 14th-are going to be on here legally because the fandom shared/liked the page over 100,000 times in 8 days. Just letting y'all know.

Here is a gratuitous fanservice picture.

~~Also gonna see the Hunger Games tonight! Whoo!~~

April 14th!

marikunin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:13:22 GMT

Amon scares me but is also sexy at the same time. Probably his swagger.

Korra is becoming even more relatable.

Mako, Bolin and Korra need to get in my bed. Yesterday.

I want a polar bear dog.

Little Mariku is so cute!

D'aww....

Lol Mako xD

She's so brown I love it

Getting a swimmer's build like hers would take consistent daily exercise set to a routine...

I want a panda pug...

Tobias/Rachel is the ultimate angsty ship. The guy's stuck as a bird.

All grown up! :D

Unf. Want a fancomic of this now.

German sounds so angry lol

This is what inspired my Narnia tattoo...

The last one's with a baby :D

Studio Ghibliiiii :D

So one time I made a fandom confession about how it'd be cool if Jesus came back riding an Arceus and then haikuninja drew this

The dog looks so happy!

Thinking of doing a drawing like this for my AtLA OCs...ALSO LOOK AT HARUKA AND MICHIRU'S FACES LOL

Wish I had a computer so I could make a fake Facebook page properly...

*drools*

*drools more*

So pretty *o*

I love how Jinora is reading the book that Aang wrote.

If these two don't hook up I'll be mad.

Sorry for the disproportionate amount of Korra. XD

History is cool and all but mostly it's sad.

meghonestep: I was in my perspectives on aftrican american males class today, and I heard some things that I am partly disgusted by, and partly pissed off that I’ve never learned about it before. I’m sick of the history of this country being hidden from me because I’m white, and because the history books i’ve read were by white males. I’m tired of the idea that white people need to be coddled. Maybe some like it, I don’t. I want to know what happened in this country. I don’t want to be coddled. Tell it to me straight, if i’m expressing ideas of white privilege without my knowledge, put me in my place. I’m no better than anyone else, so PLEASE. tell me off. Tell me i’m privileged, tell me that the words that just came out of my mouth have racist roots. tell me. So what’s bringing this about is that we learned about an incident today that I had never heard of, that needs to be heard more often.

“Hampton Smith, a white farmer, had the reputation of ill treating his Negro employees. Among those whom he abused was Sidney Johnson, a Negro peon, whose fine of thirty dollars he had paid when he was up before the court for gaming. After having been beaten and abused, the Negro shot and killed Smith as he sat in his window at home He also shot and wounded Smith’s wife.

For this murder a mob of white men of Georgia for a week, May 17 to 24, engaged in a hunt for the guilty man, and in the meantime lynched the following innocent persons: Will Head, Will Thompson, Hayes Turner, Mary Turner, his wife, for loudly proclaiming her husband’s innocence, Chime Riley and four unidentified Negroes. Mary Turner was pregnant and was hung by her feet. Gasoline was thrown on her clothing and it was set on fire. Her body was cut open and her infant fell to the ground with a little cry, to be crushed to death by the heel of one of the white men present. The mother’s body was then riddled with bullets. The murderer, Sidney Johnson, was at length located in a house in Valdosta.”

Mary turner, 8 months pregnant, hung by her feet and burned to death. Her infant was cut from her stomach and the baby girl was stomped on and killed. In light of this and other knowledge that I’ve gained, I’m forced to question everything that I’ve ever been taught. I also feel the need to address the concept of “white pride” and those who complain that it’s racist that people are allowed to be proud that they’re black but we aren’t allowed to be proud that we’re white. My answer to that? We have absolutely nothing. NOTHING. to be proud of. not one damn thing. That story? that real event. How could anyone have the audacity to be proud after reading a story like that. The white community did not pull themselves up from nothing, they took it. Everything that has been gained was taken from someone else. This country was taken from the native americans, we don’t even have a culture because it’s been taken from everyone else. So what exactly is there to be proud of? Please tell me. because from where I’m standing, there is absolutely nothing to be proud of. at. all.

sourcedumal: This is my girl Meghon, who is slowly but surely learning how to decode the white privilege that has been programmed into her head since birth. And honestly, she’s only hit the tip of the iceberg with how horrible whiteness has been. It runs SO. DEEP.

marikunin: *stares at her iPod screen in horror* the…the baby. She made a noise which meant she was alive and the mommy and the innocent people and… *sobbing*
