To the other ask that said "Sombra is Mexican tho"
She IS Mexican but that's only her nationality. Her race is native American since she has a meshika (aztec) skin. Do people not know that native Americans are from an entire continent and not one colonial country? 💀
Precisely~

How is Spore in off-the-strings au? (post asendtion)
worse but also better- so Orion and her got somewhat a little bit together again sometime after the MA, but not really to the same distance as what they used to be. like they don't chat daily, Spore is still sorta kinda uncomfy and restless while speaking to him, she would rather listen and trust Gem n Expiation than him. that sorta stuff
but well, this is their positioning on the map (Expiation is right southeast from the Root)
so whether she wants it or not, the Iterator who will come collect her is Orion
not that she actually Knows what's happening at all. her comms are kinda spotty so she doesn't get the broadcast that Boreas sends into the group disclosing that what's happening (puppets getting loose off of the umbilical arms and retaining consciousness) is a group-wide thing and that everyone shall make their way to the Root (with outer rim Iterators goin first n slowly collecting others along the way). Spore just sorta gets separated from her Hivemind, falls off her umbilical arm and is So shaken up from that separation that she can't move from where she fell and doesn't know how to deal with this. so she's just terrified
then Orion makes it to her and the funny interpretation of the scene is this
and the serious sad interpretation is that he cuts his way through the shroom forest to her structure, climbs all the way up and finally makes it into her chamber and finds her curled into a ball and shaking in absolute primal fear
he slowly comes to her, announcing his presence and she gets both spooked and relieved by it. she had No idea someone was coming. she is So happy to see anyone at all that any bad feels she had against Orion get thrown out of the window and the moment he kneels next to her, she forces herself up, legs limp, and just nose dives into his chest
so they just sorta sit there for a long while, Orion hugging and comforting her to the best of his ability. he then explains things to her, that this disconnect is happening to everyone and that they are expected to meet up at the Aeolus Root
the next cycle they set off on the road, with Ori carrying her on his back since she doesn't know how to walk yet. he helps her learn whenever it's safe to stop and they always sleep in shelters cuddled up together. there is still a blaring pain of loneliness in Spore's mind, right there where her existence as a Hivemind without an Individuality is supposed to be, but her elder brother hugs her tightly and warmly and it's not so bad like it was back in her chamber
this build up closeness on their journey to the Root is why they!
almost constantly stick together in the Root's village n don't have issues sassing each other. they get back to being close siblings, even though both of them are different than they used to be
Orion should be technically within the Root with Boreas as the "second in command" while Spore should stay in the house they designated med centre, but Orion doesn't really give much shit about the shoulds when Spore is on the line anymore
anyway, Sparrows arrival made Spore happier! she gets to have a patient again!!!! she adores taking care of her and is honestly willing to come between Spars n Boreas to keep her safe. it feels like having a purpose again
but she's also worst off because Gem n Expiation are hanging around and ofc Gem won't let up on her manipulative bullshit and even when Ori tries to talk Spore out of staying friends with them, he fails cuz Spore is still desperate for companionship
then also she's still infected by the fungi. Sparrows as a Mechanic offers to take care of her and rid her of all that, but again. Spore doesn't want to be alone. so she says no and disregards any logical factual reasoning Sparrows brings up. ofc one day this will be solved and Spore gets cured while staying safe from isolation, but yeah

oh fuck its's sunday six sentences time
~~
Vash did something with his mouth that could be considered, if Wolfwood were generous, a smile. Not a nice or particularly pleasant smile, but a smile. It was more a baring of teeth than anything else, a reminder that Vash wasn’t human.
Wolfwood slipped the rosary off his neck, pooled the beads on Vash’s throat. “Don’t move,” he said. The wooden beads clicked together, vibrating slightly as Vash made a noise deep in his vocal cords.

Something that's rampant in school teaching, at least where I'm at, is the constant talking behind each other's backs and going over each other's heads (and it mostly happens with other white teachers if I'm being honest, which probably comes back to ws more than anything)
Like if you have an issue with something I did or didn't do then speak to me directly about it! Why is there a need to go over my head to a supervisor or behind my back to a colleague about petty shit like me utilizing a common space at a time that isn't convenient for you? How hard is it to just have a conversation like a grown adult?
I don't want to hear from someone else that I just need to make sure I'm being cognizant of the space because that's not even specific enough for me to address it! In what way do I need to be more cognizant? Should I move to a different area of the space? Should I use it at a different time?
If you have an issue then you're obligated to state it directly to the person you have an issue with and if you can't do that then you need to learn how bc I'm not in the business of fucking reading minds!
