PROPHETIC: A powerful segment from a 1967 episode of Dragnet STILL perfectly dismantles the greatest lies sold to young Americans 🤔

It could be considered sad, perhaps, how things must happen for things to continue on the correct path, consider how it could be comparable to that of the work of a ranch-hand as they guide the herd towards the best pastures. Occasionally they must make a difficult decision which may or may not require a sacrifice, some of the herd may not make it, but ultimately it is for the best possible outcome for the whole.

*insert that one song with tears falling down at the party and being the saddest baby in the room* I've been playing with the whole cowboy Danny Phantom idea for awhile now. If ya'll are curious about designs and meaning feel free to read below. Don't fret, I have more cowboy stuff stewing in the stock pot, but the potatoes aren't soft enough yet so ya'll have to wait a bit more.

For Danno So design choices are taking Southwestern outfitting and combining it a little with the Ghost King stuff too, such as the Crown of Fire becoming akin to a hat band (which nicer hat bands and sometimes feathers are often earned within ranch-hand and rodeo cultures) and then the Ring of Rage becomes the Bolo of Rage, heh. And naturally the kiddo's insignia becomes a belt buckle because those are earned for sure and usually goes with the outfit. Now for CW

I based a lot of his design off more outrider/ outlaw designs while keeping the feeling of his original outfit. So his cloak remained but shorter and a little more ragged, which many travelers back then would have some sort of cloak or coat, depending on region, money and circumstance, fighters usually went with looser clothing so it was easier to move and access weapons. Of course you have the bandolier, which was used mostly to carry more ammo. The rifle CW is carrying is loosely based off a Winchester Model 1873 Smoothbore Rifle, which was a common rifle type in the late 1800s. Of course I had to reference the medallions with an engraving in the butt of the rifle, which carvings and decorations on firearms were common during the time, with many carving the decorations themselves during downtime, and well, we know how CW is about his branding. The last bit that really could stand out is his belt buckle, which is of course decorative and based off Dine Silver and Turquoise jewelry with a common blossom pattern in the center. Being from the southwest, there's a lot of things about life out here, both in the past and present that require sacrifice and that's something that resonates a lot with DP honestly. It's a theme I like playing with a bit when it comes to the idea of the southwest. It's why Danny looks melancholy and withdrawn here and CW in his typical aloof nature is more, neutral. If ya'll read through all this, congrats, you didn't get caught in a cactus, ya'll are awesome.

I don't care what people think of me. I know what I did in the past, and why I did it. And I know why I'm doing this now. That's all that matters.

#For All Mankind #forallmankindedit #for all mankind spoilers #flashing cw #Margo Madison #my heart is so SO heavy #the woman who was there for Apollo 11. who made Apollo-Soyuz happen. the one who got them to Mars. who ensured the Mars programme will #continue. scratched off. deemed a (double) traitor. all of her glory erased from history books. #'there is always a cost' and she always ALWAYS paid the price herself. #her job. her science. her rep. her life. her small shot at happiness. #Margo really said 'People are not a thing that you can sacrifice. The lesson is #that anyone who looks on the world as if it was a game of chess deserves to lose' and then sacrificed herself huh

Tbh the whole 'bloodclan bans families and hates Cat God' thing really reminds me of the anti communist bullshit I was fed in highschool history class.

Every day I count my lucky stars that I got educated in a well-funded school in a blue state. My teachers were shockingly good in hindsight, I didn't get half of the same propaganda some of my friends in other states got.

#One of the coolest things that we did in my high school history class was #My teacher actually taught us the dawn of the soviet union and the rise of stalinism #AND THEN pulled out a book they had to read in their college course! #Which taught the SAME story from the other side. Exactly as a teenager in the soviet union would learn the story #It blew my third eye RIGHT open #And I think it became downright formative because I've never been able to look at the concept of history lessons the same way #Both the American story and the Soviet story framed their home nations as the righteous entity #And I guess the narrative concept of 'framing' had never felt SO REAL before #Same events just described differently... how much can change from wording #And later that year when I learned about the american whiskey rebellion I thought of a farmer uprising in the soviet union #Yknow. Thinking about it. I wonder if this at all contributed to why I made the Educator role... #Tomorrow's history is today's politics lads. Don't forget that. #And they will laminate the shit and the mud along with the truth. #Bone babble

Today’s daily reminder ✨✨

Palestine was literally a name used by Greek colonisers to taunt Jews by comparing them to another tribe , that was later on adopted by the British colonisers

What is history? Here's a historian's answer to that critically important question

What is history? sounds like a straightforward question. But to answer it, we need to use a less then direct approach, as if we were going to sneak up and corner it, so it must reply honestly. To answer the question What is history? the best question to begin with is Where does history come from? This is a key point. If I ask What is history? most of us would reply with some version of:…

man. having read kon comics really makes the ao3 timkon tag an absolutely inhospitable place

#rimi talks #i relearn this lesson every week or so when i go maybe this time it'll be better! and then it isn't #<- my own personal sisyphean torment #even in the rare few fics in there that aren't about jason todd. like none of them have anything of substance about kon #and what they do try to do they make up rather than actually knowing anything about him😔 #which like i get it if you only know him from say yj98 you won't know a lot of his history but. #for me (guy who DOES know his history) it takes me so out of it every time. man. can't find any timkon fic to read while im sick. sad! #i should go back to reading star trek fic tbh #lots there to keep me occupied

I am absolutely positively losing it at how Bo Katan drops the ball so hard. I was prepared for her to be more of an obstacle in the face of Din having the Darksaber, for her to be petty and reluctant to give up any form of leadership she has having gathered the Mandalorians - but she really sat on that throne and gave us nothing.

It’s so Bo Katan to be such a disappointment. To go against what she claims her morals to be. If she really wanted the Mandalorian people to be reunited, for Mandalore to be reclaimed, she wouldn’t have just given up upon not getting the Darksaber. She wouldn’t be turning away anyone who still wants to join the cause of reclaiming their planet. She wouldn’t have given up at such a roadblock if she had really cared for her people and her culture.

Bo tells Din to retake Mandalore and lead them himself, as if there’s no greater joke. Wave that thing around, they’ll do whatever you say. And when he asks if she’s given up, she lashes out. Sits there and says his people gave up long before the purge, how his cult fractured their people, how his beliefs are a joke. How he’s a fool to go to a planet that’s so destroyed it’s hopeless, and he calls her out. I thought you said the curse was a lie, make up your mind.

She only uses ‘our’ when she says ‘our people’ to continue to insult him, accuse him of what she’s done before, what she’s doing now - failing their people. Scattering the Mandalorians. She picks and chooses what traditions and cultures of her people to take to heart based on convenience. She’s not loyal to her people but to her own ideals and power.

This is why Din Djarin has always been and always will be a better leader and representation of the Mandalorians. The way he follows has always been about protecting his clan and himself, but when his tradition is put against saving his child, he saves his child and would do so over and over again. Yet he still wants to atone because the respect of his people is important to him. Versus Bo Katan, who does not care enough about her people to even consider trying to bring them together without being the ruler of them all, to try and keep her people alive even if it means rethinking tradition.

To her, ruling has never been about the people of Mandalore. It has never been about reuniting their people who survived a cultural and a literal genocide. Ever since her days in Death Watch, it has never been about truly leading her people into something better. It has always been about her pride. It has always been about being right.

#bo katan really said 🤡🤡🤡 #i was waiting on someone to call her out but she really just made a fool of herself no questions asked huh #place your bets on mando finding the planet is safe enough to return his people there and then bo Katan coming in to challenge him #anyways do you think there’s any OG true mandalorians still kicking out there #because how fun would it be to get a history lesson from someone who was there for all of that shit #the new mandalorians and death watch and the cultural genocide and the actual genocide and Jaster Mereel #GOD the dream would be for a mando to compare din to jaster and promise to follow him #im a firm believer in reluctant but fair and caring ruler din djarin #sw #Star Wars #the mandalorian #the mandalorian spoilers #the mandalorian season 3 #the mandalorian s3 #din djarin #bo katan kryze #tcw #the clone wars #the darksaber #z speaks

Ymir: I'm unsure how much everyone here knows about Season of Prophecy by roughly what happened with Fire Prophet in beta.

Placing this info under read more as it's talk about general beta info, which while all now in live for nearly 3 years now, I'll rather let people get the choice to see.

But at the start when beta Prophecy had been just released to beta testers, we were unable to find Fire Prophet (due to a glitch), which to anyone who did not realize- which was most players who ran into beta full force- was rather confusing. Beta spirits do not show up until the beta season starts typically, mostly due to the fact beta players do actively find ways to break into the area within a few hours. (most notable with beta Dreams and beta Sanctuary if I remember correctly)

This was fixed rather quickly, but if you do scroll up to the 25th of September, 2020 on #beta-updates (official sky discord server) you can see the note of this issue.

It seems that Fire Prophet is still one of the shyest spirits even nearly 3 years, at least for showing up for events you'd expect them to be in. Given how brave the spirit seems to be, they may be a bit shy on socializing.

#Ymir: felt important to somewhat bring up for why I brought up 'just like prophecy beta fr fr...' in the tags of the ts announcement #Ymir: but Fire Prophet is rather shy from how many times they hide away. very happy to see them again #Ymir: anyways sky history lesson with mod ymir I suppose #(sky history with the mods)

A bonus Molly sketch from my gilded cage things! Given the circumstances for Molly in particular during chapter 4 and the fact that Dutch being the way he is would likely just use her as an accessory for the evening I can’t imagine her having a good time, but at least the dress is pretty

#rdr2 #molly o’shea #I’ve thought about this a lot #she would not get a second away from him I’m sure #he can’t stand her even breathing the wrong way around him at that point but having a woman with him would make him seem less suspicious #which is a big thing during that mission #so molly would just be hanging onto his arm all evening unable to go anywhere or speak to anyone by herself #I’d get into how she would also not be received well by many people there especially if she approached them alone #because she is Irish and these are a bunch of rich people and it is 1899 #I have a lot to say about the importance of molly being an Irish immigrant as an Irish person myself #but I don’t feel like giving a history lesson here #so to condense my thoughts a little molly would have been stuck with Dutch the entire evening #surrounded by people who probably have an inherent dislike for her once they hear her speak #or ignore her in favour of whatever Dutch is saying #which is pretty similar to how the gang already treats her #so even once she finally leaves camp it’s just the same #there is more I could say especially regarding the dress itself but that’s too long to write here #fanart #digital art #sketches #my art
