I found this on tiktok and I laughed so hard so I thought I’d share on here
It’s so chaotic I love it
just so you guys are all aware, the only reason gritty exists is allegedly because the NHL made a rule that every team HAD to have a mascot and were apparently assholes about it. so the fliers made him as a chaotic fuck you. hell the first tweet made on his official account was a “sleep with one eye open” threat towards another mascot for making fun of his design
That is not true. The NY Rangers still don’t have a mascot.
Gritty’s design and personality are riffing off of the mascot for the Phillies (MLB), the Phillie Phanatic, another big, hairy, chaotic and ready throw hands monster.
1. your suffering can’t end until you stop identifying with it. if your sense of self is tied up in your suffering, anyone or anything that attempts to separate you from it will become the enemy because, whether consciously or subconsciously, you will on some level believe they are trying to take away a part of who you are.
There is something so breathtakingly beautiful about wildflowers. So spontaneous. So unplanned. So unstructured. Just a subtle, raw purity that grows with the rising and setting of the sun.
[ID: a short twitter thread by user @.itswalela about Chadwick Boseman’s passing.
the first tweet reads, “Im not gonna romanticize how Chadwick Boseman worked thru his cancer. Cuz I’ve seen how able bodied people use it for inspiration porn of disabled ppl. I will uplift he did what he loved, I will uplift his wife and family, I will uplift the lives he impacted. May he Rest in Power.”
the reply reads, “The romanticization I’m seeing happening is what kills cancer patients. It’s what sends my community - Black disabled ppl - to an early grave cuz we “should” do more, work harder, & we aren’t taken seriously. We aren’t focusing on his grind, we are goin to focus on his personhood”
end ID]
This!! I saw one tweet where this woman was asking people what’s their excuse for being an underachiever when saying that Chadwick starred in all the projects he did while he was living with his illness
