Please pray and raise awareness for Cole Brings Plenty, a Lakota actor and student. He was found on april 5th. This is such an awful and cruel act of violence, im having a hard time finding the words.
April 8th Rising Hearts has organized Braids for Cole, so please wear your hair in braids and bring awareness so that Cole and his family can get justice.
*edited to correct information*
#cole brings plenty#missing and murdered indigenous relatives#i went to undergrad with cole. i only met him a couple times and didnt really know him#indian country is a small place#and the haskell community especially#idk where im going with these tags#i feel so at a loss. the violence against our people its#its fucking awful#anyways#please raise awarness and also wear braids tomorrow

As someone whose entire extended family lives in Sicily irl and they're all super catholic i am delighted by Machete's place of origin??? I literally feel like that meme with the anime girl that's like "(Location) mentioned!!!" anytime it comes up lol
Anyways I love reading OC lore so your blog is always a treat 😎
.
#oh thank you! it's so good to hear you like him!#I hope I'm not doing a glaring disservice to Sicilians or Italians as a whole with my weird dog guy#to be honest I'm always worried about people taking him as serious representation of some trait they associate with and feel close to#and then potentially getting disappointed or upset when he's flawed and troubled and not always entirely likable#does that make sense? I'm an overthinking people-pleaser it's probably just all in my head#answered#anonymous#it's so funny that this [location mentioned] is a worldwide phenomenon#especially in non-anglosphere countries#because Finnish people always get hella excited whenever Finland is mentioned anywhere#it's became a well known inside joke (torille)#we're such a small quiet and remote nation it's always a pleasant surprise whenever one of the big guys remembers that we exist

i never would have thought of it but i can definitely see the cass daredevil similarities with the self destructiveness and the ability to kill but choosing not to. im so curious about what ur reasoning is for jason and spidergwen
I think Jason as spider gwen really shows my thinking process when it comes to this like combin Jason and spider gwens stories - Jason todd is still adopted by Bruce, he can still be a hero but he can also not be, it doesn't really matter bc a big enermy of Bruce still kills him and like gwen Stacy he stays dead but years down the line a new Jason shows up from an alternate universe were Bruce died instead of Jason - Jason with spider powers aswell would give big scarlet spider vibes but bc this is a Jason from an alternate universe you can really go any which way hero villain wise and also bc marvel is a bit more wishy washy lines blurred with their heroes villains it doesn't really matter
#ask#anon#also if jason has spider powers#and steph is still the main spiderman#then you still have that steph reminds bruce too much of jason thing#also i have been doodling daredevil cass and spidy steph bc no one can stop me#also also#saw fanta talk about reed and bruce instead of doom#which i get bc i also thought about that for a wee while#but it just didn't feel right#i couldn't see bruce in the reed richards role#but i can see bruce as the ruler of a small gothic country with a dramatic cape#also bias but ive been doodling doctor wayne its so much fun#but yeah just wanted to say i do get the richards parallels#especially in the dad department#but yeah still not sure if im 100% in love with my choices for duke and dick#hmmmmmmmmmm#something feels off

the fact that the grand majority of felons in the united states are unable to vote sends me into a rage like no other
#like not only the prison industrial complex. but now you don't get to participate in political action#and lets not pretend that the inability of felons to vote has never contributed to the arrest rate of black and brown people#i just. why is that a thing. even if you did crime you still deserve to have a voice in the ruling of your nation no matter how small#it is... so incredibly stupid#the way that being arrested and charged with a crime can destroy your entire fucking life especially if you are a minority#how is everyone in this country not furious all the fucking time#mer rambles

people are going "what should tom being instead of a cop" and a bunch of suggestions I've seen is fire fighter or park ranger. I used to think park ranger would be a perfect fit, until it was pointed out that national parks/nature conservation is deeply rooted in racism and colonisation. here is a really good article on it. so park ranger tom isnt any better than cop tom
as for being a fire fighter, I dont know, because I dont know a lot about specifically american fire fighters (I'm pretty certain they function differently than Australian ones), and I learnt my lesson about blindly trusting jobs/organisations/industries etc just because they sound good. I dont have it in me to research the history of fire fighting atm, so I'm still in the "trophy husband/housewife tom or perhaps librarian tom" camp
#libraries and librarians are so important to communities ESPECIALLY small isolated country towns#but. still need to look into them and their history more shdndn#egg.txt#scu#tom

It's so wild and refreshing to me to want to be HERE. In my country. In my general area. Where I am
#for years I've yearned for people from the screens in other countries and always wanted to be elsewhere and it gets hard#especially being left untethered after relationships break or friendships fade#I still have friendships but this is my place right now and whatever I need to find next I have to find it where I am#trying to bond with people locally feels like I'm in school again. super worried it won't work yet so happy when it does#there's an uncertainty to it and it's. different#but also last few times I was with people I didn't feel the need to be on my phone at all save from showing the person something#which is. foreign to me#idk. something is changing and shifting towards what I've been searching for. just a bit#the steps have been small. and are still small. it's like climbing up a spiral staircase#been going on forever. long way come and nowhere near the top#but it's like I just passed a window and noticed the view is really nice out#this was brought to you by: upstairs neighbour woke me up at 4 again#bien rambles

twas playing geoguessr and it sent me to nl and then to germany (twice)
#how avacore is that#nl is one of my easy countries tbh#especially if its like a town#for some reason this time though it was the bus stop that got me#but normally the yellow number plates and houses convince me#that and obviously the dutch language/bikes#but yellow number plates are very dutch to me and rules out a lot of europe in my eyes#but this one had .nl so i was like bruh thats boring#germany i got bc it sent me to a small town that looked identical to the one im familiar with near mainz#i was like “its giving x” lol#anyways the dutch one was near zwolle#my other easy countries are australia (but even then i do a through check bc it could be nz) singapore greece and uh... occupied palestine#(bruh)#oh i am decent at tunsia#but yeah#geoguessr

#So I’m still thinking of that post that talked about idolatry in singing America the beautiful in Catholic mass and it hit me today#Why that specifically doesn’t sound like idolatry#And I wanna reiterate that the spirit in which it’s done *does* matter and mine may just be best at it BUT#Catholicism was not the national religion of England at the time of America’s founding (honestly don’t know how much of a minority it was i#England but I know it wasn’t the majority) And Catholicism was a seriously small minority in America at the time#If somehow the Protestant factions had managed to make a national religion then Catholicism would not only not have been it#It would’ve opened up more persecution for them#Now I see religious freedom as a huge benefit to us all but especially to religious minorities and at the time that included Catholicism#And I’m not saying America is the only country with religious liberty now but I am saying we set a standard and I see it as right and prope#To give glory to God for it#And to not act like He’s totally separate from earthly governments#(He’s *above* them yes but shouldn’t be kept *out* of them)#I’m still not putting this as well as I want but I’ll go ahead and post anyway#It’s just… we’re allowed to be grateful to God for the freedoms we have and a good look at the American Revolution is#Spectacular for showing the workings of Providence#And always always moves me to immense gratitude#I want to be clear on one more thing and that is that I don’t hold with replacement theology. We’re not the second Israel.#America could fall (I’m talking totally and not of the slow corruption we have) and the world would go on turning#And maybe the opposite attitude is really what that post was about? Idk I’ve heard of people like that but not as part of my church.

i will say this tho… the reason why most kpop groups don’t come to europe is because in comparison to maybe the usa, the market for kpop music there is better than in europe and also since companies nowadays are obsessed with making groups international (promoting them in the us basically) they know it’s easy money over there honestly that’s what i think
#not saying that in europe there aren’t kpop fans#which there are#i would say there are a lot in france and spain and perhaps italy??#but like when they quote on quote tour europe they only go to those countries#and in hindsight the tour ends up being small and there’s not that much profit#compared to what the us brings tbh#i hate to admit it but it’s true lol#the music industry like the western one mainly happens in america#and when groups tour there’s no doubt they will go there#there’s also that guarantee#but also what i don’t get is how they don’t go to south america#when especially brazil has a lot of kpop fans???#i feel like south america has a lot of kpop stans especially in recent years#but all of this to say that yes it’s a good decision#i don’t think it is lmao#i never went to a concert bc of travel costs#when tours happen in europe is never in portugal so#the closest thing i have is spain or france#but that’s too much money for an average person like me#so i am not abt to make that awful financial decision#as much i want to see my fave groups#but it’s true that kpop is international#and is getting more and more international#and companies don’t do tours outside of the us#and i’m not talk about asia bc of they tour in asia that is a given#i mean outside of asia they only go to america#and MAYBE … very rarely… five european countries#anyways this is getting long but you get what i mean#it’s sad that a lot of people don’t get opportunities for many reasons#tris.txt

no like when I say any answer on the queerest city poll that’s not San Fran is wrong I mean it is factually and historically WRONG
#just. look at the history of lgbt rights and major events in queer history in the us#and I’m telling you it is. in fact. dominated by San Francisco#the other cities that contend for the most part are major us cities that contend simply because they are big and/or heavily populated#like yeah obviously dense cities are going to have a higher number of people in various demographics. im thinking mostly about nyc and#Chicago here for the most part#San Fran is not big. it’s dense but not nearly an nyc level population especially historically.#it’s very unique for having been a safehaven for queers for a long time in comparison to the rest of the country#now I am not. by any means. defending it on every front. or considering it superior in any other way basically. I am SOLELY talking about#it’s unrivaled huge and powerful and long-standing queer community#it is- in the present day- literally almost impossible to live in San Francisco. period. it is absurdly expensive.#it’s homelessness situation especially due to the insane cost of living and there takeover of tech companies and so on#is horrific and for no damn reason (the city has enough money to house people Easily through at LEAST the heavy tourism)#the queer COMMUNITY there is what’s important and it’s history of demanding rights and generally flourishing through their own efforts#anyway idk why I felt the need to ramble about this#actually yes I do it’s becuase I think a lot of younger queer people (or queer people who grew up in isolated or conservative areas don’t#know the history associated with San Francisco and why people regard it as being so fundamentally queer#like the fact that portland is in second on that poll- and this is coming from someone who likes portland overall- is so weird to me#it’s a very progressive place but boy it ain’t got the influence and history that San Fran- or even New York or chicago- have#again it’s hard to compare those big big cities to anything but nonetheless#tangential but. sacramento is also a queer-dense city and though we are small and not nearly as flashy as the other contenders it’s worth#noting I think for being more of a safehaven than people tend to think about#anyway. that’s nothing I just had to represent for a second#kibumblabs

HUH weird i used to love dogs more than anything when i was a kid but now i find I'm more like. nervous w them. i wonder if that's related to me becoming more sensitive to sounds/smells/etc recently
#smudgy.txt#or trauma 💀#not that dogs have ever hurt me in a way that turned me off them#but bc of specific kinds of dog owners :x#lemme tell u.. living in the country when ur a super sensitive person? Hell#but also#i get nervous w any kind of pet bc they tend to be small and fragile#but dogs i straight up feel Dread looking at them. specifically big ones#its just so confusing to me bc when i was a kid i loved them so much ESPECIALLY big ones!!!#kind of upsetting too. i always thought id end up getting a dog once i was independent :<

I am gripping you by the shoulders and begging you to listen when I tell you teens want to be outside so bad. We want to be outside so fucking bad you have no idea
#ramblings of a lunatic#WE DON'T LIKE STAYING INDOORS ON SCREENS ALL DAY EVERYDAY ITS NOT FUN IT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD#yes there are exceptions and yes we like to do it more than previous generations but by god if it doesn't take a toll on your mental health#AND WE KNOW THIS BTW. WE'RE COMPLETELY FUCKING AWARE OF THIS FACY#*fact#but it's like. there's such a lack of options sometimes#like for example- i live in a pretty small town. walkable but not without some effort#there's no shopping centre (mall for americans) and maybe 3 parks (one of which is up a hill on the far side of town)#there are community centers but they're underfunded and don't cater to teens- especially not as casual hangout spaces#so like. unless you corall all your friends into one persons house (me and my friends generally go out in a group of 8-10 ppl-#-so while going to one persons house is doable it's not the most convenient and again this a small town. lots of the houses are small too)#or are willing to hangout at a park (a place where there's generally going to be young children and their parents-#-which isn't a deal-breaker by any means but can make kids feel like intrusions or even be perceived as sketchy)#(this is generally what me and my friends have to come to terms with everytime we hangout since we usually do it in the park)#then like. where the hell do you go?? yknow??????#also plenty of my friends live in rural areas where it's a 20 or 30 minute drive into town and only one of us has his license#all this to say#I'd really love to see some statistics on what the hangout habits of kids from different living areas is like#because i have a feeling that kids who grow up in big relatively walkable cities with public transit and nice hangout spots#are getting out of the house a lot more often than a bunch of lower and middle class teens scattered across rural country spaces-#-and a town with little to no space for them to just exist without doing some kind of activity to justify their presence#this isn't even touching on helicopter parenting that prevents kids from being independent#anyway yeah i wish i was not on my phone so much i enjoy life better when I'm not on it but. god does not love me so <3

Fans can be so funny sometimes. (Myself included.)
#decided to wade through a few comments on YT for Big Country's live performance of ''Fields of Fire'' on The Tube in 1984#and some lady commented ''he (Stuart) looked so happy here'' and from seeing the beginning of the video#and also just listening to it (Bruce's guitar was not producing any sound! for most of the song)#I was like 'um lady. I'm sorry but. he's actually kinda pissed off' lmao#like idk. if he was happy it was when he could finally get off stage and get tf out of there with the sound/technical issues.#but nonetheless: I know what she meant. it's just...as fans we're so cute. we only see the good stuff that we want to see#and for bands/artists we're fans of we only ever want to see them happy and that their gigs are successful (all around)#which is lovely for us and all but also tbh pretty unrealistic. I think about this sometimes especially when I go to shows alone.#I don't know if I'm projecting but when I go to shows alone I often wonder how the artists feel. especially at...very very small shows.#and even though I've sung solos in front of people before when I was in school - I can't remember WHAT it was like/how it felt.#the experience of being an artist in front of people and sharing your art? fuck if I can recall. (except hahaha being terrified)#so now I just...wonder. and try to show my appreciation for the artists as best I can anyway...even when I'm shy and awkward. :/#random rambling
