even the most mainstream ones like “oh ya so theres this world where only women can use magic but acutally men also can but not really and ok well there are these 3 boys who are like normal but actually magic except they dont USE magic they just—"
i have never successfully explained the premise of the stormlight archive bc what the shit do i say
and tho its not exactly the same genre, animorphs always sounds fucking insane and stupid when its explained without context lmao “kids absorb animal DNA to morph into said animals in order to fight off space slug aliens that control minds via going inside someone’s ear"

really feel like hkers and diaspora hkers have to at least communicate and really get to know each other. this isn’t to split us into camps, but the truth is that issues affect us in different ways, and we almost never have the correct context to understand each other’s plight
neither side is “better”, and both sides’ issues are real. but honestly imo until we realize that we experience things differently due to different context (location, politics), we will just be shouting at each other incomprehensible — same words, but different meanings
i want to say everyone is the same and fighting for the same cause — but that’s oversimplifying 😞 we may have the same values, but our individual contexts lead to diff results
imo we do have to keep this difference in mind, otherwise we are not accurately reading the situation
i just want to be a dumb kid. maybe worry about climate change, whine about being single. occasionally go out and be irresponsible.
why tf do we have to worry about our tweets landing us in jail, or worse? what did we do to fucking deserve this
why can’t we just be normal kids
i wish we could worry about our clothes being ugly or mismatching or whatever — but now we worry if the color of our shirts will get us arrested
it’s not like i want to be apolitical/ ignorant: i just want to deal w/ issues that don’t fucking involve censorship or jail or worse
i don’t know how else to explain that HK is a city of actual living people who just want to live out their lives. no one dreams of success or wealth or whatever anymore. we just want to survive and live without being in constant fear
for those who don’t have fb, an update from the BLM protest
this means police are 100% gonna be there and in close proximity to protestors, so be very careful
however this exchange really worried me. can someone who is Safe on facebook explain to her why people are worried???????????? christ almighty asking for proof of safety in hk is not trolling
“let’s avoid drama”, “stop trolling” — i.e. the HKPF are our friends and your concerns are annoying. stop trying to confirm your safety and just don’t show up if you disagree
