#food and history and family

[guillotinerot]

Golden Kamuy is the single most respectful anime wrt indigenous peoples that I have ever seen. I am not of these cultures so I might be wrong, and I’m sure it could still use work maybe, but it just seems to have a sort of joy in the way it represents native cultures, without glossing over hardships. Like there’s tragedy and grimness and horror, but at the end of the day I always feel like it is celebrating these people and places; their food and language and customs.

Again, and I want to make this clear, I am an outsider and I don’t know what the team behind the show looks like, so if I’m way off and it’s problematic I would want to learn about it

Oh, it is 100% a celebration of indigenous Ainu culture! Noda is not himself Ainu, he is Japanese, but he worked with Nakagawa Hiroshi a professor of Ainu culture and language. Noda's core message in the manga isn't about assimilation, but rather is about celebration. He treats the Ainu with respect, and has a very delightful way of crossing the Ainu/Japanese cultural divide between the characters. With any story, its not perfect. The ending, with out specific spoilers, is a touch... overly optimistic. However, the culture and language of the Ainu people are very much admired and explained in a way that highlights how important they are to the island of Hokkaido and the northern peninsula.

I also would highly suggest doing a little research yourself- I am just one simple cat on the internet who is blinded by their love of Noda's art and comedy. There are multiple showings of Ainu textiles that Noda has helped sponsor, and a noted uptick in positive interest in Ainu language and culture.

I also highly highly recommend reading the manga, as the anime (while improved from past seasons) misses out on entire arcs. I have so many feelings about Golden Kamuy as a series, and I love the characters and the journeys they all go through.

Also man ass. Lotta man ass. This is a good thing. You see balls, too.

While the trick-or-treating comic was very cute, I cannot imagine Vasco not being a little treat kinda guy

Are you telling me he doesn't randomly buy himself candy just for the dopamine and the child-like joy? That he doesn't indulge on halloween spirit and buy spooky candy just for him and Machete?? (who barely eats it but halloween spirit comes first, practically second)

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

[You got to have family history for the food. Catfish, yams, red beans and rice. Order up. Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. Soul burger! Order up! I'm having the soul burger. It is a really good, spicy burger]

ARENT TADPOLES,,,like, a solid dark green color,,

wait are eels even green i uhm apologies late night rambling

🇫🇷

I thought that tadpoles were translucent and turn color when they get bigger like eels do. But Imma be honest, I only know as much as I do about morays because I hyperfixate hard and idk much about frogs.

When I get really interested in something I become google for it aksdalkjsdkl

Food genetics are so weird. I may be weak to tannins, but at least I can enjoy cilantro. Raw fruit makes my mouth itch and I’m learning that I’m more likely to be sensitive to salt (!?) My relationship with dairy grows more tenuous by the day

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance...

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. [.] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant." -Karl R. Popper

Popper's paradox is based on the idea that tolerance is a two-way street. In order for tolerance to exist, it must be extended to everyone, including those who are intolerant. However, if the intolerant are allowed to express their intolerance without challenge, they will eventually become powerful enough to destroy tolerance altogether.

thinking about Nat and the group and this reaping ritual...

not that I expect logic to apply, but it is illogical, right? Nat is the hunter, she is the one with the skills to keep them alive and fed. and yeah, there isn't any game to hunt right now because it's winter, but what about when winter is over?

and Nat is the practical one. in the wilderness where the rest are seeing things that aren't there, she sees them for what they are. (when she says to jackie's remains that shit is gonna get a whole lot worse). she doesn't partake in the rituals because she doesn't see their worth, but she respects the others enough that she lets them do what comforts them, until it goes too far and there's a knife at her throat.

but she's the hunter. she is a good shot, and until winter came and the hunting dried up, she was crucial to the work of survial. and thinking about that has just got me thinking that, there is this tendency in religious sects...to value the ritual and the people who participate fully in the ritual, over the people who do the necessary, unglamorous work of survival. the yjs convince themselves that Lottie is necessary for their survival, meanwhile Nat has been quietly doing the work.

not that she wants praise for it, or even recognition, even in the dynamics of the team we see precrash she's less concerned about ego and more about keeping them working together. and maybe that's why she participates, but it's also why she tells shauna to look her in the eye.

Quick question while I’m currently designing them

The big reason is bc I want to design a cazuela de Ave (Mapuche/Chilean chicken and pumpkin soup) and I feel like one person might recognize it without text 💀

Also if you have any soup suggestions feel free to comment them on the post or in the tags lol

I've been a big livefeeder this season and one of my favorite things about livefeeds besides real time strategy is just hearing people share about their life and culture. Those things that will never make the show.

In all seriousness eating dogs, cats, horses is not strange or weird to me tbh. As long as it was raised and slaughtered humanely. What actually makes those animals fundamentally different from a pig or a chicken (which are also pets for many people)?
