hawkeyes serious stuff corner

ive been thinking a lot about fighting evil lately

as you do

and I wanna talk about it for a sec

we tend to think of fighting evil as an epic quest to destroy a mcthingie and break an evil spell all at one go or this big climactic battle where the bad guy falls off a tower at the end

evil is more like a wall

sometimes you can bust through it like the hulk and stomp on the pieces and go you when that happens but its easy to think that if you cant find that battering ram youve failed and its hopeless

in real life most of the time the fight is little bit by little bit

maybe you correct someone in conversation or you call a politician or you vote or you put your pronouns in your profile and a little piece of that wall gets chipped away

maybe sometimes you can knock a whole brick loose and maybe sometimes you can only damage the mortar but youve just made that wall a little weaker for the person behind you

and the one behind them

and the one behind them

and the one behind them

and the one behind them

and maybe youll never get to stand on the ground cheering when the evil tower falls or be there to gloat when the villain gets dragged away in chains yelling about how he would have succeeded if it werent for you personally

but dont you for one second think you arent fighting

and dont you for one second think your fight doesnt matter
