Sooooo The "Other Girls Vs. Me" Meme Feels Toxic Af. And Somehow, These Artists Flipped The Meme Into

Sooooo the "Other Girls vs. Me" meme feels toxic af. And somehow, these artists flipped the meme into something more wholesome <3

Need y'all to understand that there's a difference between being silent because you're benefiting from the status quo and being silent because you are literally incapable - physically, mentally, and/or emotionally - of speaking.

The collective social media mentality of "if you aren't blogging about [issue] RIGHT NOW you're a horrible person!" is extremely dangerous and can (and has) resulted in people reblogging/sharing things that actively hurt the very people they're trying to help (e.g. sharing GoFundMe links to the wrong organizations/people; spreading misinformation/fear-mongering; privileged people whose voices/presence overpower and silence the very people they're trying to help, and thus provide a skewed [and oftentimes incorrect] perspective).

So if you have the energy - talk about it. Find one issue, because you are human and are physically and mentally incapable of tackling every issue in the world. Educate yourself. Know what you're talking about and for the love of god do not use Twitter/Tumblr/Tiktok/Reddit/Facebook/other social media as your only source. Verify the bias of the news sources you're reading from. Read from the perspectives of actual victims rather than only secondhand accounts. Amplify the voices of those who need to be heard, and learn when to step back.

And if you don't - rest. Recuperate. Your safety and well-being comes first. An empty glass of water cannot give water to others. You need to refill your own glass first. If you do not have the energy to double-check the source, don't reblog or share it. Please. Blindly reblogging things can be extremely dangerous especially when there's so much misinformation/fear-mongering going around. You can help best by recuperating first, then learning, then taking action. Ignorance helps no one, and neither does burnout.

Masterlist

It's been a long time since he last felt so peaceful, sitting on the edge of a cliff after banning yet another demon to where it came from. Even after all this time, he was still watching over Liyue. Ningguang and Keqing had long since retired and Beidou had given her ship away because she was too old. She had joined Ningguang in retirement and years later, they died, happy and of old age. Liyue harbour had changed a lot and so had Wangshu Inn. The only constants were Qiqi and Ganyu, who were still working as ever before. The traveller hadn’t visited in what must have been 150 years. It was even longer since they found their sibling. They promised to keep visiting, but those were becoming less and less.

Then, there was the topic of Xiao’s late lover. He had met you together with the traveller, who also helped you get together. You stayed by his side your whole life and had many adventures together. Until you couldn’t. Your limbs were getting stiff and you couldn’t move around as much anymore. Years later, you couldn’t move at all. You weren’t sick, just not as mobile anymore. Throughout all of it, Xiao stayed with you, he didn’t leave your side for more than a couple of hours. When you died, it was of old age and with a smile on your face, Xiao watching over you by your bedside as you fell asleep for the last time.

He himself was devastated. He didn’t want to leave you or have you leave him, although you promised him with your last words you would always be with him. Every minute, even though he didn’t want to admit it, he missed you. Your presence, your laugh, everything about you. He felt like you were haunting him. Xiao would see your face everywhere he looked, knowing it won’t be you when he double-checked. Overtime, it got easier. He learned to accept that you weren’t there anymore, accepted that he couldn’t hold you and make you laugh. Over time, he almost forgot what you looked like, what you smelled like, what you smelled like, how your giggles sounded, your laugh. He tried so hard to remember, but the more he tried to recall something, the more he forgot. After years, he gave up on it. Sometimes, he would hear your voice in his head and he had come to accept that this was all he would ever get from you. The pictures of you that existed were all in Xiao’s room and no matter how many owners Wangshu Inn had, all of them knew not to walk in there. Although your body was buried long ago, your bed was still the same. Xiao refused to rest there, taking the couch like he had all those years ago when you were getting older and had to rest almost all day.

Now, as he was sitting there, on that cliff, all alone, it was like he could feel you. You were sitting beside him, leaning on his arm, your hand in his. And even though Xiao knew it wasn’t real, he was happy. This was his closure.
