This is worse. Looking at these you can tell they have no significant monetary value. They were confiscated as a fear tactic. Nothing more.
This picture breaks my heart everytime it appears in my dash. It’s a fear tactic, alright but—
The first one in the left corner: It’s a first communion rosary, and it’s not cheap.
The black one in the first line: That’s a widow rosary and it’s old.
The white one in the second line: is a commemoration rosary. It has a miniature picture in the round part. I haven’t seen that since the 70′s.
In the third line, multicolor one: It’s an Anima mundi, I have only seen those in the hands of Rosary ministery’s old ladies. The oldest ones are from the 80′s after Juan Pablo II came to Mexico for the first time. It’s one of the old ones, I know because the crucifixes are different.
The third one on the fourth line: Red and gold. The style is old, the metal is dark, that’s a 50′s rosary, probably a quinceañera one (or it’s maybe older, from the 40′s when the brides carried red roses with their offerings).
The fifth one on the fourth line: It’s a quinceañera rosary with Ignatius’s tear. The style is old and in my part of Mexico is orphan girls who used it. At least it was when I was young.
The third one of the fifth line: the blue one with the anchor. That one I have only seen in Veracruz and it doesn’t look new.
The fifth one on the fifth line: That’s a 90′s wedding rosary. Black and white patterns were popular on that date.
The fourth one on the last line: That’s a first communion rosary from the 30′s. It’s delicate and most probably silver.
The rest wrench my heart too, the humble everyday rosaries with wooden beads and knots. Those are cheap and bear the wear and tear of their user handling. But those I described are much more.
Those are mother’s rosaries.
Those are not just rosaries. Those are mementos, that’s the proof of their families stories. They are taking from them the only portable things they can carry to feel the connection to their families.
Rule one of fandom: there are some things that only exist for us.
Don’t send actors fics
Don’t give them explicit art ever
Don’t tag them in rpf questions or theories
Don’t try to bring them into fandom drama of any kind
Don’t hold them responsible for what the producers and writers decide
They’re still people. They have private lives, which do not include fandom.
I can’t believe in 2018 we still need to reiterate this
I have dealt with this already in the past two years NOT AGAIN.
PLEASE
We’re going to have to keep doing this because there are always people new to fandom, there’s less public shame about fanfic these days and tumblr isn’t great for picking up social mores through observation like lj and forums allowed, but yeah, it’s like parenting you didn’t sign up for, that never, ever ends.

i have now died. of joy.
I don’t think I’ve seen art of an old mermaid (mermatron? mergranny?) before.
I love it!
Oh look it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen
This is really amazing but I have to say, I read “mermatron” not as “mer-matron,” but as “merma-tron“ and I was just like MERMATRON. AUTOWHALES. SWIM OUT. and I’m ruined my brain is ruined I’m so sorry
You gotta vote, America, if you gotta go through hell and high water to register to vote, you gotta vote. Because if they keep control come November they’re gonna wipe their asses with all your laws and regulations, gerrymander their way into automatically winning everything and install that orange fuck as president for life.
And this is a problem? Our economy has never done better before that “orange fuck”, the Korean War was finally ended because of that “orange fuck”, America has finally begun to get it’s employment back on track because of that “orange fuck”, need I go on?
Fox news isn’t news, you sick Nazi fuck.
If someone seriously thinks that “the economy” is a good reason for enacting human rights offenses, they’re already lost.
The MAWA crowd found the post. Can’t expect anything else from those ‘fine people’.

Ignorant.
Wilfully or truthfully.
Ignorant statement.
