HELP ME PLEASE! the meme

We all have something we either can't do, or can't do alone. Luckily there's a meme for that.

HOW TO PLAY

○Post with your character. Don't put their name and canon in the header. Instead put something that they don't know how to do and would like to learn, or something they might want help or practice with.

examples: I can't swim • I need to clean this whole house so I can go to a ball and seduce a prince • I'd like to practice throwing pitches with someone

○Look around the meme! If you see someone that you think your character can be of some help to... tag them!

Oh, all the time. But you see, the thing about the truth is, nobody needs to believe it for it to be so.

Does... doesn't it get annoying though? People denying a truth that's right in front of their eyes?

Well, of course it does. I try not to let it get to me, though.

Does it work? 'Cause from my own experience... it still kind of gets to you.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I thought you might say that.

That's because you're a smart young lady.

[Small dry smile] I know this is where I should quip something like 'my grades say otherwise' but if I got bad grades, Ammi would be furious. So I study a lot, and it ... it makes you notice things.

Study is one of the best things you can do. Alas, the more you learn, you more you see, and the more you see, the less content you become. There is a reason that 'ignorance is bliss'.

It shouldn't be that way. [It's said sadly, a tight smile on her face]

That attitude is part of what makes you a hero.

That attitude makes me someone who has had to live through people saying horrible things about my family and wanting it to stop. [She gives a small shrug] We're Muslim... I'm the weird kid at school with super strict parents and who always smells of curry. That's the tame end of things. The... dangerous end of things? We're terrorists, we want death to all those who aren't like us. [Kamala sighs] I just... I don't get it.

People hate and fear that which is different. I'm different. You're different.

[Cautiously] But... we're not that different from them.

In some ways, that makes it worse. Because if we were 'better people', we would be like them.

[There's a frown]But... doesn't better people suggest they'd be looking up to the people who try all the time to make the world a, well, a better place?
