Hey everyone, I am going to try my best to get an Aquamarine post up today. Not saying it will turn out that way but I will try. I know it isn't a rush because she is in her gem but still all the same

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon That's cool. Yeah you don't need to feel pressured or anything, since Loony's gone and I might not be on much today myself. I'm not feeling too well.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

I'm sorry your not feeling well :( hope you get better soon

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Thanks, I'll get over it. I'm just feeling out of it today and my mind is just blah. I took like half a dose of nyquil earlier so I'm not really in any pain at this point, but that was probably a bad move because now I'm tired.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Yeah nightquil is the best but that stuff knocks me out and puts me to sleep super fast XD

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah I'm totally the same way, I just forget easily because I usually don't use any kind of cough syrup for that exact reason. Anyway yeah, I'm likely to disappear for a bit, maybe I'll sleep a little or something.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Get some rest and feel better. We will all be here when you get back

[Kronshi]

Too many feels. Aqua, we need your huggles.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Kronshi

I know right! I have been like..oh the feels...oh gosh more feels they need huggles! SUPER FEELS! Aqua, why you no reform? Lol it is one of the big reasons I want to push out a post even if I need to use my phone T.T

Plus Aqua is not going to be able to speak right when she reforms much like amythest was like when she got in worse shape. She will have to use body language for speech replacement so lots of hugs and facial cues yay!

[HaltingBlooper]

Hey, guys, I have to ask something kind of big or not depending on your outlook on things that I really need to vent on. The problem is, it's controversial and if I talked to some random person in real life about it I might get beat up. So....yeah.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@HaltingBlooper

Feel free to vent and talk it out Halting. We are all here for you *hugs*

@Akayaofthemoon It's my issue with the fact that in America, the term racism has been used so widely (and wrongly) that police officers are actually afraid to do their job right because they don't want to be in the media. And how people have become more racist towards white cops than anything I've ever seen happen to any other group of people. And how some people applaud the fact that a white officer was beaten nearly to death with his own weapon at a traffic stop as bystanders took pictures of it and posted it online with snarky hashtags. And how people are taking advantage of the fact that they can do this and claim that they are being "oppressed". White privilege my arse.

Now, I'm not meaning to be offensive, but being racist and using past events to justify your actions is worse than anything that the past action could've been.

@HaltingBlooper

I know what you mean. It makes me sick to see white cops targeted and almost beaten to death over nothing. They are just being racist pigs and thinking they can justify it with reasons that are unsupportive. I also hate the flip side where cops abuse their power and try to make excuses for death or how the judges will agree with a cop even with hard evidence(happened to someone in my family for something minor but happens on worse times for others)

I honestly wish people would stop using the word racist and start looking at it as "is this an unkind thing to do to another human being? Is this a kind thing to do?"
People are people and I wish others would look past everything to see that. You know the saying if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all? How about the saying,"do unto others as you would want done to yourself"
People should think of that before beating a cop half to death or visa versa

[HaltingBlooper]

@AkayaofthemoonEXACTLY! Let me present you with a scenario.
White cop stops person driving a car at 30 mph over the limit. He goes back to his car to log this, look up license plate stuff, etc. Black driver gets out and starts yelling at him about why he got pulled over. Cop gets out of car, but doesn't do anything aggressive because he doesn't want to be infamous and other guy knocks him unconscious and proceeds to beat him with his gun.

Audience applauds, takes pictures, posts them to facebook and twitter.

Audience loses their shit and beats up the assailant.
