And now for something entirely niche here on tumblr dot com - bracelets made after the kirbyverse fan animation series, Spirits Excel! My sibling wanted some bracelets based on her favorite characters - and after being introduced to the series I did too! So above are the bracelets I made for her, and below are the two I've made for myself so far

I'm hoping to make more for this series - bracelets, or art in general - because it's severely unknown around these parts and I'd like to see that change. Here's hoping I can help contribute to the very lonely fandom tag more going forward!

Spirits Excel good.

as much as I love batgirl 2024, I have to admit the lack of Barbara Gordon mentions in the whole series so far, especially with the first arc having such a big theme of motherhood/daughterhood and the things that comes with it, makes me soo sad. Barbara was the first person Cass actually considered as a mother! Barbara, although she wasn’t the best at it at first, truly did try to understand and love Cass unconditionally even when she was separated from the Bat mantle! And that panel where Cass overhears Barbara tell Dick that she doesn’t know how to really care for Cass could’ve been the perfect parallel to the whole “is a Mother just being connected by blood? No, Something more is owed/Being a daughter is more than being connected by blood” lines that Cass says in the last (current) issue because Barbara, though she did not physically bring Cass into this world, has sacrificed SO much for her, and in return Cass gave so much back.

coining the term twospiritphobia / twospiritmisia.

Q: what is twospiritphobia / twospiritmisia?

A: the discrimination, hatred, exclusion & erasure of those who identify as two spirit and/or indigiqueer.

Q: why not just call it homophobia/transphobia against indigenous qipoc / queer indigenous poc?

A: because not every indigenous person identifies by western lgbtqia+ labels which are a predominantly western eurocentric concept that does not always align with indigenous turtle island concepts, not all queer natives identify with two spirit due to its heavy inherent historical, social, political, cultural, spiritual & ceremonial connotations & because we deserve to have our terms to describe our own experiences of discrimination that inherently includes our indigeneity & our own sacred two spirit nature.

Q: why did you(&) coin this term?

A: because i've noticed that in the past year & even before, the predominantly white queer community refuses to include us let alone see us & when they do, it's usually to tokenize us then throw us away when we're no longer convenient, erase us (see: nex benedict, when the mostly white queer community erased their indigenous two spirit identity to make them their trans/nonbinary martyr despite them being choctaw & completely ignoring mmeiwg2s+/mmeip issues which is never talked about in queer spaces unless natives talk about it), talk down to us when we don't conform to your western concepts of gender & orientation that do not inherently apply to us, speak over us & our issues & push us out of your fucking queer spaces without ever actually trying to work with us despite the fact that we the two spirit community who were revered as sacred have existed on turtle island for over 5000 years & were the first victims & survivors of racist imperialist homophobic & transphobic based war crimes & genocide & have been fighting & resisting for our liberation far before anyone else ever set foot on these lands, longer than any other queer community on turtle island, longer than stonewall & whenever queer history is brought up, two spirit people & the violence against us from the beginning of colonization of turtle island are never discussed & quite frankly i've had enough of native erasure both historically speaking & in the present day. there's a reason why there's a 2s in front of 2slgbtqia+ in "canada", because we were here first. we will not be erased. there can be no liberation without two spirits at the center of queer activism. by adding this to your vocabulary you acknowledge & honor two spirits as the first queer people of turtle island & we deserve your allyship, respect, protection & solidarity, respect the indigenous roots of the term two spirit, honor indigenous peoples' way of living, loving & learning & building communities across turtle island, emphasize the importance of indigenous perspectives & identities within the broader 2slgbtqia+ community & further acknowledging & recognizing the historical & ongoing contributions of indigenous peoples to discussions about gender & sexual diversity & highlights the need for visibility & inclusion of two spirits in these conversations & acknowledging, respecting & honoring indigenous peoples as the traditional stewards of the land & that indigenous peoples were the first to build communities that honored romantic, sexual, gender & sex diversity on the land of turtle island ever since time immemorial.

Q: what are some examples of twospiritphobia?

A: the erasure of two spirits both historically & in the present, assaulting/committing hatecrimes against individuals who are, or who are perceived or assumed to be two spirits, nonnatives — both white settlers & nonnative poc — culturally appropriating two spirit when it's an exclusive closed term from closed cultures for indigenous people of turtle island, if you are not first nations, métis, inuit, indigenous american, alaska native, indigenous mexican, indigenous central american, greenlandic inuit or otherwise not indigenous to turtle island and/or mixed with any of those groups, & you are not either reconnecting, semiconnected or connected to your culture, you cannot use the term, using antinative slurs against two spirits on any context or form that one cannot reclaim and/or using said antinative slurs casually/as insults, harassing/threatening/mocking/intimidating two spirit individuals while motivated by said individual's two spirit & indigenous identity whether online or face-to-face, treating two spirits differently than pericishetallo natives, even if one is native themselves, attempting to "correct" two spirits on their own identities, saying our two spirit identities are wrong, using religion and/or spirituality as an excuse to harm or exclude two spirit people, fetishizing/objectifying/sexualizing/romanticizing individuals based on their two spirit identities, opposing and/or dismissing the need for explicit two spirit representation & progress for two spirit rights & two spirit liberation, erasing two spirit issues as inherently gay/trans issues, not acknowledging twospiritphobic behavior in others, refusing to speak up for two spirit people, telling two spirits that they're unnatural or "attention seeking", speaking over two spirited people when they tell you you're being racist/being twospiritphobic, policing two spirits on who we can & can't be in relation to ourselves especially from nonnatives even more from white settlers, accusing two spirits of "oppression olympics" whenever we bring up our issues, not acknowledging two spirits as the first queer people who've existed for thousands of years on turtle island & denying indigeneity as the core element of being two spirit.

disclaimer: do not fucking remove credit from us& being the coiner of this term, while the experiences of twospiritphobia/twospiritmisia are nothing new, we& as an indigenous bodied system demand respect as the coiner of this term. please ask if you intend on using this term on your wikis/masterlists. do not use this term for yourself to describe your experiences if nonnative/2S. nonnatives do not fucking derail, especially yt folx.

just uncovered a fascinating Longlegs (2024) fact!! 👀

did you know that besides his own mother, Nicolas Cage had another highly specific influence for the character of Longlegs | Dale Kobble...a medium from a surreal Italian film made in the 1960s?

meet Bhisma, a psychic/prophet-type character from Federico Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits (1965). in the interview linked above, Nic Cage mentioned how he modelled the voice of Longlegs on the 'androgynous prophet' from this movie—and when you line up the clips together, you can really hear the inspiration!!

it's also worth noting Bhisma's repeated references to being 'beautiful', and how much she loves her hair and pale skin. she also chokes and breathes heavily, and swaps between this a light, airy way of speaking, to nasty and demonic. even Bhisma asking Juliet, 'Be honest, am I beautiful?' directly mirrors Dale's 'Do you find me beautiful?' in Fire, Fire, Fire, Hiss!! 🔥 no wonder Nic's performance as Longlegs is so iconic...what fantastic, unconventional source material! if anyone knows the name of Bhisma's actress, i'd love to know :3c

Hello!

I apologize for the absence. I never intended to have a hiatus — to summarize a lot, it's just been rough and I've had very little time.

I've got myself together for now, and once the seasons change and there's more daylight I should get over seasonal depressive issues. I've also made some lifestyle changes that I'm hoping will save me time each day (read: meal prepping)

I did finish things during this time, though. I'll start slowly posting them spaced out a bit, starting with what I just posted. I want to keep doing this because it's something I really enjoy, it'll just be slow, at least for now (until I can get a less time consuming income, which I'm actively looking into).

I think my favorite thing about Anders as a character is how angry he is at the Chantry but how much his understanding of the world and what things are Right and Wrong are just parroted Chantry teachings, which even as early as DAO are hinted to be Not Exactly True and get completely upended by Inquisition and Veilguard. Like that makes so much sense for him as a character, having been educated in the Circle and not being particularly interested in big world issues until presumably after he and Justice uh. Get together. Many religious people will turn on their religion (in Certain Cases violently!) without taking the time and effort to unpack the underpinning frameworks of thought that they were given by said religion. Being surrounded by a lot of ex-Christian or culturally Christian atheists in the US, I think immediately of the replication of puritanical values and binary good/evil morals among queer people who will also rail against religion because of how it treats them, in particular - Anders has issues with the Chantry only insofar as it affects him and his particular axis of oppression, but has not ever seen the need to look at what other things the Chantry might do or the ways it might be wrong beyond simply how they treat mages.
