I should have known if I brought up wc I’d have to talk about. But it includes of a lot of issues with feral/furry designs that use feathers in hair. I don’t necessarily know why the conversation only started and stayed in the wc fandom when horse/wolf/lion feral fandoms are still doing the same thing.

Now having feathers in the design isn’t a racial attack first thing off because there’s a lot of context around what feather’s are used, the shape, and where they are placed. If the look is anything like "rave Coachella looking tribal fantasy feathers and beads" it’s probably insensitive. I’m not to sure why it has to be feathers, I honestly think the wc fandom are holding themselves back when it comes to forwarding designs in a unique way. Tail feathers are also left out in this conversation as well, one or two feathers or feathers in the shape of a birds tail are fine but bunched together feathers are leaning to close to how we have our horses wear feathers. This is in the context of the design already looking like a "medicine cat" already its bad. it’s like those yt girls wear feather head bands but animal addition.

I’ve talked about this before but silhouettes are so important, like Native American stereotypes are on the global scale you cannot escape this silhouette you just have to avoid it. There’s no "but it’s in so many other cultures" no it’s not it’s totally unique to our people that’s why people flock to it because it’s so "mysterious, sacred" whatever their weird twisted up reason is. There’s so many unique ways to break this silhouette you just gotta be more creative. And I feel like instead of being more creative and coming up with totally different ideas it’s just easier to lean on these visual native stereotypes to get across "wild mythical nature fantasy"

I could get into the horse fandom and the weird situations they’re doing over there but that’s another crazy thing. I should say because someone will ask, ostrich feathers on like show horses or knights or puss in boots style is fine not the same thing (breaking the silhouette) they’re not related.

And it comes down to understanding what you are drawing and where this imagery comes from, I’m not gonna get my feelings hurt because of your design but I’ll question why are you drawing stuff like that. You cant remove that cultural/stereotypical imagery, and if you don’t care about it then you don’t care about the history or how it looks on your character and art.

I made it this far on the internet but if you want to be conscious about these things good on yea it doesn’t take much☺️👍

Edit: can’t believe I gotta say this but yes other cultures utilize feathers, if people are using feathers that are used in their culture then don’t harass them. That’s weird have some common sense. Ostrich feathers, peacock feathers it’s actually so interesting how native birds to an area affect the culture there.

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

To Owl, are you prepared to face those you let down when you die? Or do you expect to not see them in Starclan? Is damnation better than looking them in the eye?

Time to put Owly through The Horrors

Happy pride month!!! Here’s a doodle the wives themselves to celebrate!!!

Owl seems like a guy who's fatal flaw is inaction. He feels he cannot make a difference, change fate from what it is, and thus he does not even try

This is very very true and you hit the nail on the head with this one! Owlshade very much prefers to let things happen if he can't change it significantly. Because of this, a lot of bad things happen that could've otherwise been avoided.

Not much else to say other than great job reading him! <3

And a happy pride month to all.

2002 Lilo & Stitch: Ohana means family!

2025 Lilo & Stitch: Ohana means leave an indigenous child who is neurodivergent to the state, even though historically that always led to erasure of culture and forced family separation. abuse, death or worse – 'somehow lost'! But make it girlboss so there's a noble reason behind it! While we are at it, let's have our main character walk around a resort and enjoy its services so that we can promote our Hawaiian resort even though the original theme of the movie is anti-tourism and Lilo takes pictures of the tourists as a form of retaliation for them using her, her land and her culture as a prop!

[irisfloweringalt]

The lilo and stitch live action ending telling native Hawaiians to give up there children and leave there state cause it’s better for them might be the most horrific propaganda Disney has pushed in a long while
