Could the Ace Attorney fandom stop pretending that Phoenix Wright or Miles Edgeworth or any of the main cast is white? Idgaf if the localized version is set in America. Asian Americans exist. You are consuming a piece of Asian-made media, not everything is about white people

#I need y’all to stop thinking of white people as the default setting #The amount of people in this fandom that whitewashes Edgeworth is insane #Surprise Asians can wear clothes outside our native cultures #Asian characters shouldn’t have to act explicitly or stereotypically Asian for you to acknowledge their heritage #This applies to other pieces of media too #Asian characters can exist in a modern setting they can exist in a Western setting #Please get rid of your orientalist lens because we are literally just people #Ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #literally so done with how this fandom of an Asian game treats Asians

sort of in the vein of that last post, the queer slurs have a degree of interchangeability in my opinion. nobody's asking your specific identity before they call you a dyke or a tranny or whatever. I know a guy who's straight as an arrow who used to get called a fag on the regular. you know why? he likes arranging flowers and interior decorating. that's it.

we're really not supposed to be split up into little factions the way the community's been going. we all face this shit together. we help each other when everyone else turns their backs on us. fags saying dyke and dykes saying fag is, in that sense, an act of solidarity

#the fairy rambles #ive been thinking about this quite a bit since that anon #and also just thinking about the history of our community and how divided we are now #not a heritage post

I am not going to say TLT is about fossil fuels because it's about a lot of things and it's reductive to boil it down to anything, but a society fueled by necromancy/death magic/corpses is reminiscent of our society fueled by and built with petrochemicals (oil, natural gas, plastic), and given that within the necromancy framework the role of the cavalier is to be metaphorically, literally, and/or spiritually consumed, it's interesting that the first cavalier was the planet Earth. This new world is still based on devouring the planet.

Does this make Paul a metaphor for nuclear fusion I'm joking but I suppose the question Alecto must resolve is whether we can escape needing to consume to survive.* And maybe we can't - stop trying to make your carnivorous pets vegan - but can we find a method of consumption that's less destructive?

(Some people may see Paul as that answer but I am a Hater who isn't into ego death.)

#nona the ninth spoilers #nothing in this post is an original thought. I'm just Chewing #and obviously given the increasing emphasis on the characters' Maori heritage #this may come down to a colonialism vs Indigenous knowledge question which.... #will be interesting to see Muir tackle as a pakeha person writing Maori characters #this is also the decolonization/unsettling question we face irl #can we abandon our extractive mindset and listen to Indigenous people to treat the land respectfully #the locked tomb #why this

“white americans don’t have any culture” oh yeah? explain the chicken dance, then.

#we may be disconnected from our heritage #due to the assimilation deemed necessary #but by god do we have a culture. it’s weird and wonky. but it is there.

thinking about the public domain is more than a little devastating to me like they’ve literally taken so much from us. the corporatization of art and culture has locked away american cultural heritage for longer and longer periods of time! the original term for public domain was 56 years think about that. almost 40 more years. i hope we all live 40 more years but who knows. and how much of that art will degrade and disappear in the meantime! things are lost every day! truly and genuinely it’s such a loss for the independent artist i want people to be able to adapt things from the ‘60s into shitty plays that they put on at their local rec centers and to make money off of that but we can’t because of corporate greed

#i mean. you can make whatever u want still nobody can stop you #but do you ever feel like we could be exalting in our shared cultural heritage if only we were allowed #not to mention the ability for cheapo paperback copies of things. damn i should go buy one of orlando btw #anyway. new stuff in the public domain is exciting but bittersweet so much has been taken from us #cool b does cool things

I made this just to gauge what people think. Is this accurate?

tumblr eras

2010: beginning of mainstream

true microblogging platform

fuckyeah! blogs

there were actual celebrities on tumblr

2012-2014: twee “tumblr girl” aesthetic and peak fandom (superwholock & homestuck)

“sides” of tumblr (i.e. “science side of tumblr, explain!” and hipster vs. fandom sides of tumblr)

I feel like viria’s and burdge’s PJO and HP art was especially big

“I like your shoelaces”

2014-2020: peak “tumblr discourse” (think Steven Universe and the rise of TERFs); kinda faded out after the kinning wars and that whole rabies thing

2015: John Green/fishingboatproceeds C*ck Monologue and end of post edits

2017-2019: peak musical theater fandom (Hamilton, Be More Chill, etc.), Voltron fandom

2018: p*rn ban and mass exit

2020: ATLA revival (fr that’s all I remember from 2020 tumblr)—jk remember November 2020? election results, Stacey Abrams, destielgate/superhell, et. al.

2021-present: collective memes that are only important on tumblr (e.g., horse plinko, it’s me i’m the ps5, slug reacts, blorbo, bug ass)

lots of general celebration of queer media (very different from early tumblr where it was all speculation and shipping)

Elon bought twitter, so kind of a new era for tumblr

also, of course, Dracula Daily

Imposter Syndrome as a native person is very real, especially if you're reconnecting or white-presenting.

Whenever pretendians with large platforms built on their "heritage" are outed as liars, it can affect actual natives mental health - which is why pretendians are such a huge issue.

To all natives with Imposter Syndrome, it's hard but you know your heritage and who you are - don't let liars take that away from you, especially when they want to be you.

#woc #woc experience #latina #latine #poc #latino #imazighen #indigenous #native #pretendians #imposter syndrome #reconnection #white presenting poc #white passing poc #when i was early in my reconnection journey i often had imposter syndrome surrounding my heritage #and i often still do when people who have faked their heritage for years are outed #i know my heritage - im accepted by my local community & tribe #i know my family and yet it still can affect me sometimes #and i think it's important that as an indigenous woman who's been through it - to tell other indigenous ppl who are less secure in their #heritage that we do experience imposter syndrome and that pretendians do impact our collective mental health #i owe it to my indigenous brothers and sisters to let them know that they are not alone in experiencing this #and remember most pretendians don't experience imposter syndrome around their fake heritage because they don't care enough to

the fun bit about being a queer kid on tumblr, specifically this side of tumblr, is that the first time i'm exposed to slurs such as these, its positive.

there's something really wonderful about that, I think. something I'm really glad to be part of

#not a heritage post #asks #above all this blog is meant to be a celebration- of our strength and our comedy and our culture and our history #and the ways we turn the stones hurled at us into flowers in our hands

people really be out there like “I wonder what this breed called a Shetland sheepdog was used for historically? alas it’s impossible to tell, we may never know” 🤦‍♀️

There is, believe it or not, some actual controversy regarding the breed origins and most of it (imo) stems from many people's mental image of a working sheepdog is a border collie, and not quite grasping that border collies are freaks and the way that we now work border collies didn't exist prior to the development of the border collie, and in some parts the way we keep SHEEP didn't exist prior to the border collie. There's also been some debate around old letters written by non-shetlanders after visiting the isles or talking to locals and having mmm interesting ideas of how people handled sheep over there. This leads to statements like:

Sheltie legs are too short to outrun sheep

They're also too small to grab the sheep and hold it (don't get me started)

A sheltie could never take sheep through a- (name specific type of herding trial)

Maybe they were actually placed with flocks on peripheral islands to keep watch for birds??

Shelties never existed and were made up in the late 1800s just for shetlanders to make money off of selling cute puppies to gullible tourists

There was an original sheepdog on Shetland but it was a much bigger dog (see reasons above) and the current sheltie was made up in the late 1800s, by breeding cavaliers to pomeranians and maybe a collie, just for shetlanders to sell puppies to tourists

...and so, clearly, they can't have been sheepdogs and we have No Clue what they were actually for (except scamming foreigners)

Meanwhile we know that traditional shepherding on Shetland relied on roaming sheep, keeping them off the property rather than on it (because that's where your crops are) and you'd only be rounding up your sheep a couple of times a year, and that island-bred shelties were smaller and spitzier type than even the current UK type.

#life is full of mysteries #and like. i know i have a particular interest in this because I'm interested in the historical development of Norwegian agriculture #and how that has been shaped by industry and politics because that is very much an ongoing issue #and that we have a similar climate and heritage breeds with similar traits and origins #and i grew up in this. and how we live and how we have lived and the animals involved in that is yknow. part of our cultural identity #and it MATTERS. #and so i have pegs to hang it on #and it baffles me #how short our memory is and how little imagination we have for how things have been done in the past
