Something to Rant about- Episode 2: Current state of affairs
Raven: Good news people; I'm not dead! Of course I ain't dead. I mean I might as well be considered a protagonist at this point. 😑
Anyway, things seem absolutely screwed, don't they? COVID-19 showing up, the economy getting its a** kicked, that dust plume from the Sahara Desert might do some s**t as revenge for ignoring the desert's needs, and one of the worst, horrible, terrifying monsters the world has ever seen has reared its ugly head into our nightmares. (Shivers) God d**m you Sirenhead...
In any case, things have taken a bit of a turn for the worse, haven't they? Depression and anxiety are at an all-time high because of all this "end of the world" bulls**t going on around us. I can't blame people for freaking out. Not when nearly everyone alive is a walking, talking megaphone of energy.
Okay okay, in all seriousness, I get it. The U.S.A. hasn't exactly had this sort of situation happen before. I mean, who has seen anything like Trevor's monsters before? But that doesn't mean the end of the world is around the corner. Take it from me- the demon girl who has faced death in the face and helped out in just about every DC Comics disaster ever- we'll survive all this hap-hazard noise of despair.
Today, I'm not really ranting per se, but rather... I don't know, rallying? Whatever the case, this is definitely a topic worth speaking about, and no one here will disagree with me on that (for once). I'm just here to get some facts of life out there to ya'll so you guys won't end up going to a therapist any more then you have to. And believe me, for some people going to a therapist is alot like visiting the dentist; not inherently a bad thing to go but alot of people dread going regardless. Wait, I'm supposed to be raising everybody's spirits here. Um... Meow?
So, what do I say here? In terms of Sirenhead, all I can say is good luck to you who be faint of heart and highly sensitive to nightmares. Maybe good fortune will smile upon ye and you'll be visited by the Long Horse before you meet the sights of sore eyes that are Trevor's monsters. As for the desert plume dust cloud heading our way, all I can say for that is to either stay inside for most of this week or keep those d**m masks on... which everybody nowadays is doing anyway so really it goes without saying. What else is there besides the obvious? Um... Don't pay too much attention to those conspiracy theories that have been popping up lately, they just screw with your head.
There's also the protests and such going around. Normally I'd say "life is life and it's bound to give us all lemons like this", but apparently these protests against racism are so bad you can't be seen with a fleur-de-lis without getting shot. Plus a statue of good ol' Christopher Columbus himself was taken down because of these riots. All because some idiot police officers went off their rocker and killed a few blacks. People have always been fighting over their race and skin color and such- and for good reasons obviously- but tearing down statues and getting rid of historical symbols is about one of the most extreme things ever done because of racism. They're even taking nearly all television shows that feature law enforcement in them- lime that Paw Patrol show- off the air until the protests settle down!
I'm all for defending your rights and fighting against racism, but blaming it all on the law enforcement and history itself isn't gonna make things any better if you ask me. There's always gonna be haters and bullies and liers. Believe me, I know- I'm half demon. I'm afraid of getting s**t handed to me because of the common hatred for demonic beings. And there have been people who have given me H*ll for being half demon. But it's not like I can change that. I can't just remove the demon out of my blood. I can't make people change their minds about demons. After all, most demons are a**holes at the very least and world destroyers at the most. I can't change myself like that, and I can't change the very good reasons for the hate. You can't just change your color, nor your race, nor your gender preferences like you can change your clothes, but you also can't change a violent person's mind with even more brutal violence. You can't make any more history if you erase the mistakes of the past, otherwise you'll just threaten another press of the repeat button all the quicker. So just make those truly responsible for the wrong pay according to the laws and morales already set. Live and let live unless you absolutely have to say otherwise.
*sigh* As for the you-know-what virus, we'll make it through. We're just going to have to get used to the disease being a thing now. It's not going to leave us alone for a while. The Black Plague from Europe is still technically around you know; you just don't really hear about it anymore because science already has it pretty much under control and nobody ever really dies from it anymore. This virus is really another disease on the ever growing list of illnesses humans have to deal with. We've always been using sanitary liquids and hand wipes and such long before this, and they'll always be germiphobes- that is, people you are scared of getting sick- just as there always has been germiphobes before this all happened. We just got spooked for a bit since this all became so wide-spread, that's all. Covid-19 has a survival rate of somewhere around 80% I believe, so even if you do get sick your likely to survive anyway. Quarantine is a problem because not everyone is used to sitting in one spot, and some people can't even mentally handle that sort of life. This is why the economy is getting wrecked, because not as much money is being spent as it was before. Plus employment is also pretty wrecked because the virus is forcing most businesses to either go online or go home. But it'll be fine once things start to settle down and figure themselves out.
I promise ya'll, things will eventually get better, with or without human involvement. Take all this spare time you suddenly have to do things, like make a new hobby, play some video games- heck, get a New Years Resolution or two off your bucket list... like that New Years Resolution you probably should've done five years ago but "just didn't have time to get to it". Oh wait, I don't have much else to do now... guess I can get it done! All I need now is the motivation... Ah what the H*ll. Who gives a f**k about New Years Resolutions anymore? 😒
Regardless, one of these days we may just be sitting down and watching tv while people will be making documentaries about what the H*ll happened this year. So get used to it, okay? Personally I'm not worried about the future in terms of this disease. I mean, why should I? I'm a fictional character to you all. Just worry about yourselves and take care of those you love dearly around you. It'll only help you in the long run, whether that be helpful by human nature or helpful by karma. Hope I helped you all by taking some boredom out of your lives for a few minutes or so, cause we all could use some entertainment right about now. God bless you for caring, and peace on earth after this is over.
