young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can

ONE HOUR AGO: greg abbott, who i have the great displeasure of calling my governor, is calling for the expulsion and jailing of ut austin students exercising their first amendment right to freedom of speech an assembly. every single motherfucker on the right soooo concerned about the first amendment seems to be creaming their pants over college students being brutalized and arrested for protesting. its fucking reprehensible.

What's Sayakaquest?

Old forum quest.

[moiderahart]

Are there any things you wish you could alter about Sayakaquest?

pretty hard to think of it in any terms other than "damn that was like a decade ago" and "SQ2 was like five years ago". but I mean among other things I'd probably pick up the pacing. by like a lot.

my biggest problem running the first quest was that I gave the players too much agency. namely in that in a misguided attempt to offer control what wound up happening is that certain parts of the story would just slow to a crawl and get really, really repetitive, regardless of how much was actually happening in the story.

That and SQ1 didn't really say anything. It was a fun power fantasy but that's about it and not gonna lie I'm not actually all that interested in telling stories that are just power fantasies.

If I want that I can just play a video game.

otherwise i'd double down on some of the more interesting arcs (i.e. the tokyo 6) and offer more outs there for players. not that they'd take them because Questers be Questing I Fucking Guess.

my biggest problem during the second quest was that it was as subtle as a sledgehammer and the villain was not actually all that interesting. i was kind of in that earlier stage of "oh shit I'm fucking queer" where i basically proverbially stared directly at the camera and said "They Are Fucking Gay" and maybe did that a little too often? that and thematically again it was just Profoundly Unsubtle.

Nowadays I'm a lot less inclined to be way too obvious with my themes because I've kind of accepted that some people will just ignore whatever you're saying regardless of how loud you are. And it's made my work better and my actual points sharper.

How do you even paint the skin like that, it’s so amazing 😭

Thank you😭…. I cant really put my process into words and I’m definitely not qualified to make a legit tutorial but I sorta just chip at it until it looks cool to me😔 I have a buuunch of these little exercises though but ik there’s sort of a jump to the finished piece if it helps any!

This one right here is my most recent one from a month or so ago 🤔 there’s writing on it but it was mostly just notes I took for myself to really comprehend since i was more rusty at the time

What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?

End blood quantum now

Blood quantum is how much native blood you have in you and it needs to be a certain threshold to qualify you as a tribal member. Blood quantum varies from tribe to tribe.

It means my mom is a tribal member but because my dad is outside of my tribe... I don't have enough tribal blood to enroll. Neither does my daughter. Our "official" indigeneity ended with me.

My dad is still native tho. Just southern native. Others have two parents enrolled in separate tribes and can't enroll in either one despite being Full native because their parents were mixed with other tribes so they don't have enough blood of Any tribe to qualify.

And to what end are they doing this?

Under the treaties the US govt can lay no claim to native land. So how do they fix that? Get rid of the natives, of course.

And since they can't slaughter us in broad daylight anymore they did the next best thing. What the colonial government has ALWAYS done to us and other poc.

Made up a bunch of arbitrary laws to restrain and limit our power and numbers.

And this can't continue. We are the only race who needs to apply to be part of the community we were born into. The only race who needs to prove our blood.

And that's the thing: it's not even based on blood. Racist scientists defined who was a full-blooded native based on things like shoe size, head circumference, and skin pigment.

Not blood. And besides that it wasn't uncommon for outsiders to become part of a tribe!! You didn't need to be native by blood to be native! Blood quantum has made it IMPOSSIBLE for them to qualify and made it impossible for tribes to practice that long time aspect of our culture.

So please share this post. So many people legitimately think natives are extinct and even less are aware that we do more than just sit around drinking all day. Few people have good feelings about us and within that there are a few who actively help. Please be one of those few.

We need support and allies and for our voices to be heard. Please don't let this post just be me screaming into a void. We need people to know what blood quantum is, how archaic and harmful it is, and to help us spread awareness to people who otherwise would ignore us. Use your privilege.
