sunstone..? perhaps???

havent drawn them in a loong time though so i doodled these real quick :^)

#rain world #five pebbles #seven red suns #rw sunstone #my art #also to clarify because im annoying and love overexplaining things ☝️🤓 #the quote on the second pic is supposed to summarize their feelings towards the great task #and each other too of course #in that theyre kinda right to feel isolated because a lot of other iterators dont talk about this feeling of pointlessness #but theyre still being a tad pretentious here #just because people dont talk about their struggles doesnt mean theyre not struggling! #suns does understand this to a degree #but still #so much of their dialogue reads like a “you're the only one who gets me” kinda thing #okay ill stop rambling #ill never get over these two

i love that the hunger games is getting the appreciation it deserves but boi some of these takes are truly making me question ppl’s media literacy because ???

#starting with the fact that ppl are calling katniss boring?!??? talking about everyone and anyone BUT HER?! THE MAIN BITCH OF THE SHOW #the hunger games #hunger games #ppl saying the last book doesnt make sense?!? bc the rebels were going to get snow anyway so the death were pointless?!??? #WHICH EXCUSE ME ITS THE FUCKING POINT BUT ALSO KATNISS NEEDED TO GO TO THE CAPITAL BC THAT IS WHAT ULTIMATELY MAKES COIN EXACTLY LIKE SNOW #bc shes willing to sacrifice innocent ppl (katniss’s team) in order to kill katniss- for the bigger purpose (her being fairly ‘elected’) #thg #everlark #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark

hate it when there’s already enough characters & they bring in a new one to take up all the attention from the already interesting characters. like ok. no one asked

#I usually end up warming up but I do seem to often hafe new characters #I hate Harry’s ex wife fr she’s so annoying like omg who caress #how many love interests does Harry need #like he has enough. this is too many. what was the point of her showing up. go away & stop causing drama there’s enough going on #with the alien plot & all the other love & family drama among the characters #this just feels so pointless. what’s the point of her #I’m watching resident alien btw #sorry I’ve been silent so far I’ve just been casually liking it #my toxic trait is I only comment on stuff I don’t like lol #tv tag #resident alien

not to keep talking about this but if greta decides to take the religious aspects out of her narnia reboot or whatever then there's really no point in even making it. christianity runs so deep in everything related to narnia that taking it out would cause the whole story to fall apart, it would just be another hollow remake and if that's the route she's gonna go (which she most likely will) then i'll just stick to the disney movie and reading the books.

#i'm sorry narnia is just....so good to me and i really enjoy it #so when i first heard they were remaking it i just cringed because like?? what is the point?? #THEN i heard greta gerwig was behind it and i was like?? WHAT is the POINT? #which is just...ugh. it's giving ugh #christianity isnt something c. s. lewis put in his series for fun. it's everything to him and it shows in his books #so removing it would just render the entire project pointless. it would be dead on arrival #narnia

on the topic of polemical language one of my literature classes is an lgbt literature class (even though its more about film lol) but its taught by a "queer studies" professor who is a radical leftist nonbinary butch lesbian and they have the absolute best takes about the word queer and the fact that their department is even referred to as queer studies. idk its so funny to see someone fully aware of the concept of slur reclamation but 1) is much older and actually lived through the movements where the word queer was still transgressive and polemical and 2) is so completely unaware of the baffling notion that developed online that slur reclamation is about something "not being a slur anymore" OR about reclamation being about a list of people who get to say a word and a list of people who dont. like theyve iterated many times about how the word queer as a reclaimed term and political statement doesnt have anywhere near the radical power it used to have and you can tell theyre disappointed by that fact.

#yesterday they said 'good luck finding a class named dyke studies' while laughing and it was probably my favorite thing they said while- #talking abt lgbt terminology after these last few lectures #theyve said the word faggot out loud several times and while it was a little shocking its like. this is an academic class. you cant be- #saying 'the f slur' thats so pointless

man I wish there were a more nuanced way to talk about dress history’s darker sides without like.

making people feel guilty for thinking the clothes were pretty.

to be clear, I don’t mean this in the Conservative Pundit sense where literally any criticism of white/cis/straight/male privilege and its negative effects on society makes them cry about being Laden With Unfair Guilt(TM). I mean like...I don’t know. this Gotcha attitude I see sometimes that’s like

“think this dress is pretty? well IT CAME FROM A HORRIFIC SYSTEM SO THINK AGAIN, BOZO! BET YOU DON’T LIKE IT SO MUCH NOW HUH???”

obviously we should talk about the horrific systems (many many of them) in the past. if a garment was made from fibers processed by enslaved people, and sewn by teenage seamstresses making a pittance, that needs to be discussed

but I feel as if it would help to contextualize that with like

“who makes the majority of our clothing today? what conditions do they work in? what difficulties prevent us from simply opting out of having our clothes produced this way? who sets trends, and do people outside their social echelon also enjoy those trends?”

so that people get that they should be thinking about the past and how its legacy impacts us today, rather than tearing themselves up for Finding The Early 19th Century Cotton Evening Gown Pretty

there is no unproblematic period to enjoy clothing from, including the one we live in now. and it’s not productive to rip people a new one for Bad Fashion Preferences. to me, it’s the same as claiming that someone supports sweatshop labor because they said a Shein dress was cute once

#dress history #this brought to you by: the frantic thread by people trying to find a Less Problematic era to replicate clothing from than Victorian #they settled on Medieval which #J*wish people would like a word about that (censoring to avoid tag) #it's just such a pointless endeavor because no such era exists. now or in the past #you like what you like. you're human. #and just like insufferable crypto bros wear jeans so do activists fighting the environmental damage crypto could cause #also: surprise! the people making the clothes for the system that oppresses them mostly also want to be wearing those styles #it has ever been thus #so are THEY then also evil for admiring styles worn by the exploitative elite?

cannot even begin to describe the noise that just came out of my mouth

#like i love commitment to a bit as much as anyone but truly what is his deal #and i’m sick of age gap discourse i think it’s all so stupid and pointless especially when both parties are adults but this is so. #man you’re almost FIFTY

[tallymali]

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

#and ive heard even dumber origins of the cherokee family myth #such as an ancestor having a silly sounding name so the descendents just go 'oh she mustve been an indian!!!' #i was one of the few people who had my ancestry done on the facebook and had genuine cherokee ancestry #[though i had found it before it was just really validating to get it double checked and i started finding cousins (:] #like. i was told once when i was a kid by my grandma that my dad had cherokee ancestry and i didnt believe her. its wild that so many peopl #will make it a Fixture of their identity [or even just smth they bring up ever] with Zero proof #at least for cherokees from what ive seen its usually considered really disrespectful to claim to have cherokee ancestry without #actually having the documentation [like ancestors on the rolls] #and no a dna test doesnt count. nor does 'my dad is Clearly not white!' or 'high cheekbones' or old family photos or anything #i had this discussion with someone recently whose dad had been calling himself 3/4 native but didnt know exactly what nation ???? hello? #and its like... sorry but ur dad is like. italian lol. #[and blood quantum is bullshit anyway im tired of the 'im 1/16 cherokee' comments its dumb #cherokee nation does not have a blood quantum requirement. its pointless bringing it up in the discussion of who is or isnt cherokee] #also mandatory disclaimer that im reconnecting. i didnt grow up connected to the culture of even knowing my ancestry #this is all from my looking into this stuff over the past year or so. i cant claim to be an authority over anything regarding this #this is p much all my repeating things ive heard said by people who know a lot more than i do haha #man. and this isnt even starting to get into the fake tribe stuff. the only legit cherokee groups are the 3 federally recognized bands #cherokee nation of oklahoma. united keetoowah band. and the eastern band of cherokee indians. #any others that are state recognized or not at all arent acknowledged as legitimate by any of the legit cherokee groups #anyway. my final message goodb.ye #cherokee #tsalagi
