grimmy how many ocs do you have at the moment?

hmmm well this is, weirdly, a pretty loaded question for me because i've created about 50+ original characters over the span of 11 years. like......there are a lot. but i will go on a little tangent about my main squeezes to further explain the dynamics and why i feel like i realistically now only have 11 solid OCs.

i have the original six, the ones i created in my teen years - Jeff, Lotus, Franky, Fanny, Gretchen and Emma - who are basically my ride or dies, in which i created webs and webs of other characters around them in order for them to interact sort of within a world of their own, almost like a Sims town. so, those are where the other 50 ish characters come from. i've had them have children, other partners, exes, friends, foes, professors they have ambiguous relationships with, doctors they go to on the regular, parents etc etc. they also all have families that some of them, I consider fully fledged OCs. for ex: Dallas, Lotus' older brother, which i've never talked about on here but he's important because he goes to jail and it irrevocably changes Lotus.

ANYWAYS the big six has also consecutively been thrown into multiple alternate universes (altogether and separately) which has ultimately allowed me to create even MORE characters. there's been all kinds of AUs. vampires. college. 14th century. time travel. aliens. i've put them in AUs where they're literally whole different people.

but i have some recent OCs - Nina, Dawn, Ren, Percy, Felix - that i feel are gonna stick with me forever (as in, i love them as much as the big six) and i've managed to merge the big six and these recent ones in the same universe and give them all intricate relationships to each other. like, Jeff and Fanny were originally a couple. not only a couple, but THE couple. i was obsessed with them. but, somehow, Lotus always came into the mix a little, and i always had Jeff and him do gay shit together. they were always weirdly orbiting around each other. one day, i just fucked around and wrote this story about them and i was like hmm.....the dynamic is delicious.....what if....no...i couldnt.....could i?

after writing Starry Eyes (my novel with Ren and Percy, in which i incorporated Franky, Emma and Gretchen in with slight changes to their personalities), i kinda came back to Jeff (i always always come back to that fucking bastard. he's me. i'm him), and there was Lotus, right there with him, like hi. and i was like oh shit they actually are soulmates and always have been...

anyways so now the dynamics are: Lotus and Felix are exes. Emma and Gretchen are exes. Gretchen's gonna be with Franky as they originally were (they were also soulmates man. i love a good jock x goth). Fanny's single but fucks Franky as best friends then falls for Jeff then falls for Felix (lol). Dawn and Nina are lesbian soulmates forever and ever. i love them so much i need to talk about them more but their aesthetic is so specific its hard to reblog pics about them (pan to: Dawn - 6 foot 4 Bahamian transfemme with a bleached blonde mullet that dresses like an 80s wrestler. i gotta just draw her for you guys.) Lotus and Jeff are also soulmates forever and ever but they both date other people at some point. Lotus goes back to Felix, who welcomes the boy who shattered his heart into his open arms (Felix is a Libra man, you can't blame him). Jeff has a psychosexual relationship with Fanny bordering on psychotic and life ending in which they fuck by playing an insane level of mind games with each other and engage in an astronomical amounts of power play to get off. Ren and Percy are just soulmates forever and ever (very early childhood best friends who rekindle but don't remember each other. i eat it up. i eat it the fuck up) but Ren did briefly date Emma because both their dads were abusive alcoholics and they ~related~ to each other.

so yaaaaaa. its about 11. i love geekin out.

The social construction of the high, arid landscapes of the Southwest  as “more or less worthless” has been a fundamental component of colonization of the Diné, as well as other southwestern and Great Basin tribes. In fact, the inhabitation of dry, arid landscapes by Native nations was used  as evidence of their low status on the Western hierarchy of civilization, following a kind of environmental determinism [...].

The “wasteland” is a racial and a spatial signifier that renders an environment and the bodies that inhabit it pollutable. The problem of land laid waste is complicated by the fact that environmental degradation is not only relegated to lands that Americans find aesthetically distasteful; quite to the contrary, while we find radioactive tailings piles in the desert, we also find leaking barrels of Agent Orange on Bahamian beaches, dioxin-releasing copper mines near the shores of the Great Lakes, and strip mines in the rainforests of South America. Thus, it is not only a matter of a Euro-American distaste for dusty arid locales that renders deserts “wastelands” but rather a condition in which even the most marvelously abundant of jungle-scapes can come to be seen as just so much waste of space. [...] [T]herefore, [...] colonial epistemologies do not just look on deserts as wastelands but that wastelands of many kinds are constituted through racial and spatial politics that render certain bodies and landscapes pollutable. [...]

---

Wastelanding takes two primary forms: the assumption that nonwhite lands are valueless, or valuable only for what can be mined from beneath them, and the subsequent devastation of those very environs by polluting industries. Hydroelectric dams in James Bay, Canada, for instance, would, according to the National Audubon Society, “‘make James Bay and some of Hudson’s [sic] Bay uninhabitable for much of the wildlife dependent on it.’” This very pollution results in the common designation of wastelanded spaces, including those of the uranium industry on Diné land, as “sacrifice” zones. As sacrificial lands, these landscapes of extraction allow industrial modernity to continue to grow and make profits. In scholarly parlance, these two forms of wastelanding can be termed social construction and reification: first, a culturally agreed-upon logic that derives from taken-for-granted categories of difference, which we then understand as natural and common sense, and second, the process of materializing, of making real, or of acting on those constructions.  

---

Wastelanding reifies -- it makes real, material, lived -- what might otherwise be only discursive. Like race, which is a social construction made material by the embodied consequences of racism (threats and acts of violence, foreshortened life expectancy, incarceration, under and uncompensated labor, inequalities in wealth accruement, and so on), ideas about the value of environments are manifested by the material consequences of environmental destruction (or, in the inverse, by environmental protection). Patterns of environmental racism make clear the connections between race and wastelanding. Race and space are connected through a social construction of difference that becomes spatialized through segregation and unequal distribution of resources. As Allan Pred puts it, through racism, “The socially barred become locationally removed from opportunity-yielding social, economic, and political networks.” By a “feat of ontological magic,” the “idea-logics of cultural racism are [...] concretized.” Wastelanding is a primary of of these “feat[s] of ontological magic,” wherein racialized lands are made to seem uninhabited or unimportantly inhabtied, represented as worthless, and then [...] systematically stripped of their material and ideological worth. [...]

---

Wastelanding, too, is multiscalar: in uranium country, destroying the environment through uranium mining does not just mean destroying the nonhuman world and ecosystems. It means to wasteland, to render pollutable, the lungs, the cells, and the respiratory tracts of everyone involved in the nuclear cycle. It also means to wasteland Navajo worldviews, epistemology, history, and cultural and religious practices. In order for uranium mining to occur on the level it did (and still does), indigenous ways of knowing landscapes and their worth must be themselves rendered pollutable, marginal, unimportant.

To borrow from poet Adrienne Rich, in wastelanding --  rendering an environment pollutable in ways that are both ideational and material -- “The words are purposes. / The words are maps.”
