Iroquois mask.

Region: North-East America.

The confederacy that made up the Iroquois (including the Mohawk, Oneida and Seneca tribes) was one of the most powerful of all the Native American cultures. The union began before the Europeans had ventured this far into Native American territory and made contact with the people, joined by what amounted to a constitution between the various nations, sometime in the fifteenth or sixteenth century.

This is probably what is known as a ‘false-face’ mask – broadly representing human features, but in exaggerated form. The men who wore these masks belonged to a secret society. New members had to fashion their own masks. Traditionally, they walked through the woods until they came upon a tree whose spirit spoke to them. They communicated with the tree, then stripped a piece of bark before fashioning the mask. They were decorated with hair (usually horsehair) and feathers, and painted in bright colours. They could then accept offerings to perform dances, wearing the mask, that they claimed would drive sickness and disease from a person or from the community as a whole.

hey btw before you start being angry at the 10 year old sephora kids and the ipad kids, remember that we should feel bad for them. because the world has failed them. it is not these kids faults that the world is so focused on materialistic things and that their parents don't know how to talk to them. that is the fault of social media and bad parenting. i said what i said.

#luc posts #like i genuinely feel so bad for the ipad and sephora kids bc they just... didn't get on childhood #they were raised on false beauty standards and having a screen shoved in their faces & i think that we as a society need to reflect on that #like i am quite serious when i say that it is unrestricted internet access and generational trauma that have caused this #seeing those seven year old girls doing their skincare and mascara makes me want to cry bc how did we fail them this bad??? #they should be having a childhood but they're being forced to grow up too soon #im saying all this as a sixteen year old it would genuinely be better if young kids and teenagers weren't exposed to the toxicity of insta+ #+and other social media bc it does NOTHING but put bad ideas in their heads and give them bad self esteem

What is it with fantasy high and girls dying before their lives ever began. How we can never really know who they are, or who they could’ve been. Brennan Lee Mulligan I will find you

#ramblings #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fhjy #fantasy high junior year #lucy frostblade #yea yea this is obviously about Lucy. but also.. #um #penelope everpetal #(collective booing from the crowd) #(I am dragged off the stage) #jokes aside tho #they both have that quality of haunting a narrative (Penelope specifically in the seven and Lucy in fhjy) #they’re gone. their stories are over. and yet #they have a hold over the ones they left behind #we will never truly know Lucy past anecdotes and old stories #penelope was an array of false faces and honestly? we’ll never know her either. all we’ve got is that old picture of her and Sam #and obviously Lucy was kinder. she definitely didn’t deserve what happened to her #while you could argue Penelope got what was coming for her #but the fact remains #Lucy Frostblade and Penelope Everpetal we’re both teenage girls who we can only catch glimpses of. forever #in some ways #they’re the same. dead girls who never fully leave. their ghosts still visible in the corner of your eyes #anyway rant over I’m just obsessed with d20 girls and I can draw parallels from anywhere #I might make a more… comprehensive post about this one day who knows

“You are important.”

“I’m really worried about you. You need to take care of yourself, because you’re not okay, we can see it. are you drinking water and eating?”

“You’re scaring me. cause I know that you’re not okay, but I can do nothing.”

“Every day I hope to find something about the eggs because I can’t stand seeing q!Bad sad anymore”

“He’s changing every day, turning into something like a ghost… I’m so worried, it’s like at any moment he could just disappear.”

“I feel powerless. I think q!Bad is suffering a lot, but he doesn't admit it. I really want to help him, I've been thinking really hard about how to help him”

“He took me around, we hang out, he helped me a lot and gave me items. He is my best friend. I don’t know what I should do…”

ough q!bagi. every time she talks about q!bad it makes my heart break, she is so kind. they’ve known each other a week, but she says with her whole chest that this is my best friend and I Will find a way to help. she is the only person q!bad has straightforwardly admitted not being ok to. I’m so….

#I’m so normal about her #<- FALSE im going crazy about her character and this duo they hurt me #she is so observant and inquisitive about Everything she doesn’t take anything at face value #her detective mind sees a mystery and wants to solve it. q!bad is her enigma #but it all comes from a place of care for her friend #she pushes past his mask with her words- to a demon who lives in denial this is exactly what he needs #to open up a bit more #anyways I BEG for him to reveal ron to her #my girl would be happy to join tbh she threatens to torture cucurucho everyday #qsmp bagi #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp #madrugaduo #also how she said in character she’s worried for him but Also normal irl gabi is worried for this fictional cubito too is skrsjskdk #same girl. mood.

i'm going to call this post book!gendrya for dummies (it's me i'm the dummy): i had always loved the parallel that gendrya share about being the third born child (we are five books in, and still to this moment we don't have another baratheon bastard introduced to us that's older than gendry, so the order for me is: mya, bella and gendry) and (if we go with the r+l=j theory, jon obviously is not ned's son... so we have robb, sansa and arya) but something that has never ocurred to me before, is that we obviously already know the plot point of "the seed is strong" and we have gendry directly telling ned how his mother used to have yellow/blond hair (this is my own headcanon, but i like to think that she had brown eyes as well) meaning that all children sired by robert baratheon shared his hair colour and eyes colour, so gendry in his colouring and looks does not resemble at all his mother and we know exactly the same thing about arya, how of all of the catelyn tully/stark's children, she's is the only one that has none of her mother's looks, she and jon had the stark look, long face and grey eyes, like her father (and jon's mother) and like all of the starks of old time (karstarks included), and meanwhile genetics in asoiaf had always been somehow really wonky if compared to how genetics work in real life, it always interested me this fact about arya, one could simply said that arya having stark's looks and colouring is to help the narrative of arya feeling like an outsider in her own family, just like jon, and to establish even more how deeply the jon/arya bond runs, even when she knows both of her parents, and it's a true-born daughter. so this post was me discovering another gendrya parallel shared between them, i don't think it's really important but hey, it's still there alright

#and yeah i know that mostly the conversation about gendrya's looks is centered about how they look like lyanna and robert reborn #and i absolutely think that part of their looks will come to play in the next books #like arya wears the north in her face and you mean to tell me no one is going to notice that a false arya was in her stead #if arya and gendry were lyanna and robert reborn i wouldn't even ship it in the first place #is so dear to me the fact of how gendry is the complete antithesis of robert baratheon #and now going to my own headcanon territory: #that's why i prefer to depict arya with a chesnut shade of brown hair #like catelyn's genes were really strong no joke about it #so that's why i like to think that arya subtlely has hair a shade lighter than jon due to her mother's genes #in the same way canonically jon has a darker shade of grey eyes #arya with chesnut brown hair is my way of potraying one of my favourites arya's quotes #“the woman is important too” #is this post completely self-indulgent? of course #i'm just here to post my s!ms and make self-indulgent posts #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #house stark #arya stark #gendry #gendrya #arya x gendry #gendry x arya

You could say that I have strong feelings about this ongoing debate

#critical role #we can all have coffee on Ludinus' grave and debate the nature of morality until we're blue in the face. but priorities. #cr spoilers #bell's hells #HHHHHHH false dichotomies are not a friend #the choice is not a binary Gods Or Predathos #and you should not pick Predathos just because you don't like the other option!!!!! #anyway i have uhhhh 15 memes that i made tonight because that is who i am as a person #also. also. hey. guys. everybody. #if your philosophical debate is leading you to go 'idk maybe the murderers are onto something' #boy HOWDY you better have the information to back that up! #the thing is I'm not mad this devate is happening i think it's very realistic that people would get caught up in this debate given the given #i have just painstakingly cultivated the ability to have an argument and i have strong feelings about rhetoric #[bangs on a pot lid with a spoon] CONSIDER ALL ANGLES BEFORE YOU DOUBLE DOWN ON A POSITION #if you're curious #yes i am EXACTLY like this in a real life argument i have been told i am infuriating to argue with #both because of my love of Sources and because of my need to be absolutely dead sure of something before i get in a fight about it #which have the annoying tendency to make me like. not lose a lot of fights.

i truly do think that clara oswald is one of the characters of all time i’m sorry.

#ivy.txt #i mean i’m not. but i am sorry that some people don’t see the vision #like yeah i have a lot of issues with individual scenes/lines that moffat (and other writers gave her) #i’m not the biggest fan of her s7 storyline even if i don’t think it’s the worst they’ve done #but GOD she is just so compelling to me…. #i LOVE that the doctor meets her and is like oh my god she is SO clever and fast she can keep up with me!! #and she hungers for adventure this is great!! she’s just like me!! #and then that just gradually morphs into oh god she’s just like me….oh no. #like. the doctor is so used to putting on a false pretense and keeping things from his companions #that when he sees someone wearing the same mask as him it doesn’t even occur to him to check if their face is fake too #i just love that both of them are ultimately so selfish and SO selfless at the same time. the codependency is beautifullllll delicious to me

It isn't a queer identity that leaves people vulnerable. It is the systemic and pervasive abuse of queer identity in the workforce, in schools, in government, and in personal relationships. Queer people are vulnerable when they have unsupportive (or outright hostile) family, when they are outed, when there are laws which criminalize their lives, and when queer people have to balance between the harsh reality of being themselves or sacrificing that to live either safely or comfortably. That is what makes queer people vulnerable. Not the fact that they happen to be queer.

#lesbian #gay #bi #bisexual #trans #transgender #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #queerphobia #queerphobia tw #i keep seeing the idea that queer identity is to blame for the abuse/injustices queer people face... #...and that's false. it is systemic queerphobia at play #i know for me if queerphobia died tomorrow i would feel much much MUCH less vulnerable

ALEX HE'S DEAD

MY MAN but in all honesty we kinda already had this feeling. AS ATTACHED I AM... killcode hubby dead...

But i was almost right with how bloodmoon is reacting. Not satisfied at all.

Killcode absolutely tore through what had to be said about them as hurtful as it was.

#RIP ME 'I WAS NEVER UR FATHER' but #like listen theyre STILL going on about eclipse too #theyre literally grasping at whatever connection they have but not aware WHAT it is they need #this was a good way for bloodmoon to be told to his face without anyone being scared or USING HIMANYMORE #to straight up go 'yeah ur a tool for others ur literally nothing else rn' #and it obviously meant something to them esp from killcode #who they wanted to call false father but they literally expected a fight #they wanted a fight SO BAD but never got it #ANYWAY ILL BE RAMBLING LATERRR #sun and moon show spoilers #anyway *looks at my aus* killcode wont die there dont worry guys we'll have dadcode #ON THIS BLOGGG #garbage chocolate

I feel like it’s a sin to humanize muppets but… have some colored sketches

#the muppets #Kermit the frog #miss piggy #gonzo the great #fozzie bear #rowlf the dog #fun face practice but I genuinely don’t think I’m gonna add anything substantial to these onwards so #shrug #I had created a false memory that Kermit wore suspenders playing the banjo and I don’t think that’s accurate #one of my favorite bits is love in the laundromat I thought it was so sweet
