😅😅😅 This person has been leaving comments on Brightest Black as a guest, including one saying they were done reading for the past few days.

Too bad there’s no way to tell this person that the only reason I haven’t approved their comments is cuz the mobile site won’t let me and I haven’t been on my PC in days cuz family in town 🤦‍♀️ Cause, you know, I can’t reply to anon comments like I can to named.

So, here, maybe they’ll look up my tumblr. And maybe I’ll find time and energy to actually get on my PC once I get my toddler to bed tonight.

For proof, this lovely review hasn’t been approved yet either.

Fic Recommendations

(because I'm bored right now)

Here's some fics from different fandoms that I really enjoyed!

I'm only putting the ones that are finished so...

Each fic will be in a different color depending on their rating.

Green = General

Yellow = Teen

Orange = Mature

Red = Explicit

Amy Cooper calls the cops on a black man in Central Park, addressed as Mr. Cooper, and falsely claims he is threatening her life after requesting her dog be leashed in a leashed dog area.

She is the head of insurance investment of Franklin Templeton, who merely put her on administrative leave.

The video also shows Amy Cooper abusing and choking her dog, and has since surrendered it to the shelter it was adopted from.

It also appears, through posts to her dogs Instagram account, that she is a frequent animal abuser / neglectful.

Her racism could have gotten this man killed and she knew it. She tried to sic the NYPD on an innocent black man and she knew the possible outcome of her actions.

Her name is

Amy Cooper

Don’t let that bitch prosper.

Here’s the link to the original tweet with the video: https://twitter.com/melodymcooper/status/1264965252866641920?s=21

I legit think I felt my heart stop from just watching that.

Um, that’s Lotte World in Seoul, South Korea. I’ve watched my husband on that ride. Unless they’ve drastically changed it in the last couple years it sure as hell doesn’t do that...

So, pretty sure that vid is edited, but it is a terrifying thought.

i like when you’re in the grocery store and you see people buying eggs because they always pick up the carton and then open it like it’s a metal briefcase full of cash involved in a drug deal and they’re confirming it’s money. “don’t bother counting it, it’s all there. 12.” then they always pick one up and inspect it like, “yeah, it’s grade A alright…the real deal.” 

People are checking to see if any of the eggs are cracked you walnut

Yep, dunno how many times I’d open to check them at the cash register when I worked at Publix. So often I’d pick a carton up off the belt and find a broken egg in it.

this is like one of those batshit ridiculous satire headlines that floated across the news ticker in simcity

Here’s the full article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/02/28/business/corona-beer-marketing/index.html

This is utterly ridiculous. And if I wasn’t pregnant I’d order one everytime I went to a restaurant that had corona beer.

Imagine an open world game for Harry potter, you can explore every surround of Hogwarts and you have to do homework to get points and keep progressing. Basically harry is your sims and you have to take care of him. Also, you decide if hes more a gryffindor or a slytherin based on the attitudes you chose

What if it wasn’t Harry. What if you could make yourself or anyone you want, and play in the world. Like the Sims? You’re required to be a muggleborn and you can pick what year. Starting from, perhaps, when Tom Riddle started school. Then second generation you could play your child going to Hogwarts? Who’s now now a half-blood? With all canon characters and events happening around you. Perhaps even quests to try and influence and turn ppl to a different side. I’m thinking something sort of line Crusader Kings 2, where everything starts historical (canon here) but you and RNG changes the world to become unrecognizable. But you still get the magic of going to Hogwarts and taking classes.

My favourite thing is when you’re just minding your business, writing your story, and then out of nowhere a plot twist

punches you in the face

ABDUCTS YOUR OUTLINE

RUINS YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE

AND MAKES THE STORY A LOT BETTER

My subconscious is a much better writer than I am

dont get me wrong this is #mood but just try eating a piece of bread with salt. please, seriously. ok? at least a tiny bit. salt helps with nausea, bread calms the stomach acid. if you really can’t face eating anything, just lick some salt like a damn elk, then wait and see if you can manage the bread. make some broth if you’re into that kind of thing. no spices, yes salt. if you’re feeling too weak and shaky to do much, just have a cup of tea with sugar (energy) and lemon (again, good against nausea). nibble on the lemon first, it will feel good, but don’t overdo - citric acid on an empty stomach is a majorly bad idea. take care of yourself, you’re the only you we’ve got

This is what the entire first trimester of my pregnancy was like.

Kuzco could have played Deadpool

What if we got Deadpool and Kuzco in the same film? Both fighting over breaking the fourth wall?

Ok this is probably unpopular opinion but I have to get it out of me. I’m not really a fan of what Disney did here. Yes, it is funny, I admit. But, this kinda breaks Elsa’s character. Why would she cringe at that? That song was a key moment of her life back then. She finally let go of her fears in that particular moment, she let her powers do wonders, she transformed, after all these years of being isolated and trying to keep her powers inside, she could finally use them and be herself. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I understand Disney did this to make laugh adults who can’t stand this song anymore. But in my opinion it was unnecessary. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was just about to write this... 🤪

Its literally the only joke I cant take like as if let it go isn’t the reason frozen happened anyway

I couldn’t care less about what others think of the song. I shamelessly love it and wish disney did it too. Its objectively a great song and an unforgettable and important moment not in frozen movie or Disney history alone but movie history

Like the disrespect honestly

It can also be Elsa showing personal growth. She sang Let it Go when she’d run away, deserted her sister, and left her country freezing to death. Things that she now feels are shameful and wrong. Even though it did ultimately help her grow and accept herself.

You don’t even have to be a lady, there are several

It’s 2018 and people ARENT PROPERTY

one of my high school literature teachers kept her last name so we were confused to find she was married to another teacher and she was like “his last name is Cummings” and we were like yea that’s reasonable

I plan on keeping my last name simply because I like it and nothing deeper than that!

I’ve kept my last name. Our children will actually have my last name. Though if they grow up and want to take his it’s their decision. Number of reasons for this, but that’s our decision

hey here’s something I learned only today despite being a lifelong Harry Potter reader

Hagrid is 12 fucking feet tall

people are having a laugh at me for not knowing this but can you blame me? i thought “really tall” was like… 8-9 feet maximum. 12 feet is a fucking lot

Soooo…uhh…

…let’s talk about this.

I feel like—we—we definitely need to talk about this.

Okay I’ve taken these comments into account…

…and I’ve made a new scale.

You’re not going to like it.

You’re really not going to like it.

…That can’t…possibly be right…

Authors can’t do math.
