Would the opposite of Minnesota be Largewater?

I have no idea, but here's a few fun facts!

Minnisota is derived from Sioux word for 'Cloudy Water' or 'Sky-tinted Water'.

Meanwhile my home state of Michigan is derived from the Algonquin word for 'Great Water' or 'Big Water'.

So technically 'Largewater' would be Michigan lol

being luca’s girlfriend

warning(s) : slightly nsfw at times (nothing too explicit)

author’s note : gonna knock out some of my hc requests over the next few days so keep an eye out for them !!

༺═──────────────═༻

Luca is obsessed with you before either of you even make your relationship official

he’s always spending time with you at parties that he invites you to because he “wants to make sure you’re safe”

it only gets worse after your relationship becomes official

you always ride to games with him because you did it one time at the start of the season so he thinks it’s good luck if you ride with him to game … at least home games

you’re super close with his younger brother adam

you and luca go surprise adam sometimes when columbus is home for a handful of games

you’re also super close to his teammates, but noteably ethan, mark and seamus. you’re even close to luke even though he plays in new jersey

kisses and cuddles are an absolute must. luca’s love language is touch for sure. he’s always touching you in some way if he isn’t cuddling with you

he loves to instigate makeout sessions or sex between the two of you. especially at the start of your relationship

you always join him for his pregame nap and meal. luca loves having you close on game days because sometimes he gets nervous or stressed out so you consider it his game day ritual at this point

there’s sometimes a quickie thrown in if luca can’t sleep

you often end up tying his tie most evenings before leaving for the game. he can tie his own ties (and you know this) but you never say anything about it. it gives you a few extra seconds together before any games

he sometimes lets you wear his chain when it isn’t a game day

but you buy him a new one a few months into your relationship and he wears that one so you can keep

you love to steal his hoodies and he never gets mad at you or tells you to stop because he knows he’ll get them back once they stop smelling like him

he always leaves you one of his jerseys to wear to games

after big wins, you always end up in his bed to celebrate the win

if he has a good game, you will end up in his bed to celebrate. no matter the outcome

he’s always buying you gifts even if you tell him not to. he tells you that he likes to spoil you sometimes so he will always buy you gifts

his practice ritual includes fist bumping you through the glass at games that you’re able to go to

he’s a very big fan of shower sex. he will always say that it’s a “two for one hit” since he gets to make you feel good while also getting clean, not to mention that the shower washes everything away so cleanup is easy

you’re one of the first people on the ice when Michigan wins the NCAA tournament that sends them to the Frozen Four. Luca kisses you right at center ice, which basically hard launched your relationship to anyone that didn’t know

Christmasses and holidays are often split between Canada with Luca and Minnisota with your family

getting drunk with the entire hockey team because they love having you around

moving in with Luca before the start of his junior year so you see each other everyday, which includes a LOT of sex in the first month

loving him even if he takes his frustrations over hockey out on you (he apologizes after every time)

loving him through his lows and his eyes

him loving you through every argument

him choosing you over hockey every day of the week

US RAHHHHHH headcanons for the v special boy day!

RAHHHHH

first off a more foolish person would assume that this holiday would involve peace. they would assume that the joy of independence from tyranny was enough to sedate rivalry. point and laugh wttt fandom this person is wrong

the fact of the matter; at least one person will have to sit in their car and cry when the night is over because they brought a dish that was just relentlessly mocked.

fact of the matter: 90% of the time this is a midwesterner. minnisota brings an ambrosia salad one year and this threatens civil war.

i do hear a lot of misconceptions that texas would immediately start running the grill like the navy; however i believe in the much more obscure principle of alaska running it to get away from people.

'how do u want ur meat' he asks. theres a smile on his face. this is bc he knows it will be burnt either way and he enjoys the idea of setting you up for failure.

cali is banned from hosting bc yk he'd be so insufferable ab having no weed allowed and about 8 states immediately start twitching at the idea of having to do it sober.

speaking of sobriety LORD this day must be difficult for the NE. not for the obvious reason, just bc they hate everyone and their lives and having to hear ab your stupid families. and sports that aren't baseball or basketball. and the sun, and social interaction and overall joy. other than that great day out.

yeah mass is traumatised but i fear its his gay right to loudly judge you like an old woman at a party. someone asks him to stop and he asks why they have no respect for the people that won the war.

does okla object morally to the idea of celebrating a nations birth when he, a native man, knows his people were there for generations beforehand? yes. will he be in attendance every year for the football match he gets way too competitive about despite the fact he's playing against washington (weak and asthmatic) and ohio (home of the browns)? yes

look theres a distinct family unit going on here guys. the south r dads or uncles. midwest is your aunt whos recently divorced and his gotten REALLY into experimental baking because she doesn't miss her husband (she will leave him 10000 voicemails at the end of the night). west is a clean split between youngest cousins that REALLY need to perfect this dance so they'll be allowed a sleepover and your weird aunt who recently came back from vacation as a hippie. northeast transition from weird emo cousin to genuinely insufferable old men in around 30 minutes to an hour (depending on how fast they can drink)

Minnisota calls North Dakota "Norda" send tweet

[grickle14]

Is this actually Graham's blog? I loved Puzzle Agent. It reminded me so much of where I live. I'm a Canadian who lives opposite this rinky dinky Minnisota town that felt so much like the fictional town of Scoggins. (Although its mill is still functional, and my town is the one that had its mill close.) That game made me feel so at home. Thanks for making that game. :)

Hello! Yes, this is most definitely me, Graham Annable! So glad to hear that Puzzle Agent was near and dear to your heart! I'm Canadian as well (grew up in Northern Ontario) and have spent a lot of time in Minnesota so it was certainly familiar landscape in creating the town of Scoggins! Makes me happy to know that others enjoy that world too! Thanks for the kind words! :)

[gay-jewish-bucky]

saw someone be like "oh except for the first [thing in the list of good things minnisota dems did] i'm happy for them" and the first thing on the list is paid family medical leave for all workers?????? bro that's good????? yall are like the only industrialized nation in the world without it

Little House on the Prairie, by Laura Ingllas Wilder

This one has been called the most important book that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote. What is interesting about that is that it is probably the least covered in Pioneer Girl. This makes sense because Laura was only three years old when the family went from Wisconsin to Kansas. They then went back to Wisconsin after about a year. From what I have gathered from Prairie Fires and other sources, Laura never intended to write another book after Big Woods and decided to set the story after they returned to Wisconsin. When it turned out that there was demand for more books, she couldn’t go back in time, so she moved the family’s time in Kansas.

The writing is not quite as simplistic as it was in Big Woods, more on par with Farmer Boy, which makes sense considering the tone of the writing ages with the main characters.

I think most of us know the story in general, but just in case, here’s the bones of it.

The Ingalls family decide to go West. The way Laura understands it, its because there isn’t enough game for Pa to hunt. This does make sense as the more people who come into a place, the scarcer the hunting becomes. But this is really our first introduction, in the series to Manifest Destiny, where in people thought it was God’s will for settlers to go all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Charles was under the impression that the land in what was then called the Osage Diminished Reserve was going to be open for the taking if not then, then very soon, and he had to get there first to have his pick. 

And also, let's face it, Charles Ingllas had some wanderlust.

So, he packs up his family and heads out.

They eventually find where they are going to steak their claim, build a house, meet some neighbors, including Mr. Edward's (who was my favorite character in the show). They face challenges, such as what could have been malaria, a winter that nearly interrupted Christmas, and fires.

The Native Americans are a presence through the book and not a welcome one most of the time. They are described as coming into the house and taking food, being unfriendly, and generally scaring the family. One Native American tried to come and speak with Charles, with good intentions, but they didn't share a language. They heard "war songs" for several nights and then saw the Native Americans ride past their house and out of the territory. Shortly there after, Charles heard that US troops were coming to get the settlers off of the land. Charles has set up three miles past the border. The family packs up and leaves.

I mentioned in my first entry that reading these as an adult was interesting,  because there is quite a bit said between the lines, or said but not explained that Laura does not fully understand.

Such as when their neighbor Mrs. Scott says that she can't forget the Minnisota Massacre. Caroline shuts her up with a look, so the girls don't hear more.

There is far to much to cover what is historically known as the US-Dakota War of 1862, in this entry. Prarie Fires is a good source to learn more, as well as the University of Minnesota website.

What I will say here is that this conflict seemed to allow some settlers to justify to themselves, their hatred of Native Americans as a whole. Of course, that type of thing is never justified.

And that brings me to of one the the most uncomfortable parts of this book.

The weirdest part of the story is where Laura begs Pa to get her a Native American baby. This seems to be a child's messy response to complex emotions. She doesn't want the baby, really. She wants to be like the Native Americans. When she sees them ride past her house, she percives freedom. She sees women who don't have the constraints that she has to contend with. They aren't wearing sunbonnets. She figures no one scolds them for being unladylike. She sees the babies having the freedoms that she wants. She can't  be like them, so she wants to possess them.

When Ma asks her why she wants one of the babies we are told that she couldn't explain what she felt, just said Their eyes are so bright. Bright with all.of the things she thinks they will experience. Running around in nature, not having to be quiet on Sundays, not having to be worried about being a "good little girl".

And so, begs and cries to be even somewhat adjacent to those freedoms.

She couldn't understand as a little kid, what the Native Americans were going through. This analysis doesn't make this any less disturbing, but it does bring me to my next point.

There has been debate about whether or not rhe LH books should be read in school. And when I first heard this,  I wasn't sure what I thought. Generally I don't think we give kids enough credit. When I first read this book at around seven or eight,I read it on my own, and not in a classroom setting. I was really bothered by how the Native Americans were depicted.

Why *did* they go to Indian Territory if Caroline hated Native Americans so much? Why did the government tell white people to take the land, and the government had to move the Native Americans west? Did she really think that the Native Americans threatened the family? Was this really threatening? The Native Americans were hungry. If the family could understand what was said, would they have been so scared? They would have fed any other neighbors that were hungry. What was wrong with Laura that she was asking for a person as a pet? This was after slavery, why didn't either of her parents tell her it was wrong to ask for something like that? How could someone say that the only good Indian is a dead Indian? That's evil.

And I remember my mom telling me I was right, that all of this stuff is wrong, but it's how some people thought at the time, and that included the government. She didn't know the answers to the other questions other than the government, and many ( but not all) of the settlers thought they had the right to land when they didn't, and were generally afraid of things different from them. And sometimes that came out violently. But she said it was good to ask all of these questions, it was good that I recognized that these things were wrong, because stuff like this still happened and it was just as wrong then as it is now. It was also a lesson in critical thinking. Don't just take something you read as truth. Question it.

Again, though, I read this on my own, literally sitting next to my mom, feeling safe to ask questions or express distress has either come up. I was not in a classroom setting being read to or graded on this material. Moreover, I was not a Native American child who was suddenly othered and had the safety I should feel in the classroom taken away.

So yeah, I agree that these books should not be taught to kids.

Teach these books in advanced placement in high school (maybe) or in college. But don't attach it to a classroom experience for kids.

Map IV of Lives of Game Animals by Ernest Thompson Seton in the cougar chapter of Volume 1 part 1

Range of the Cougar in North and Central America by E T Seton, with assistance of the Biological Survey, 1923

A map of north and central america depicting the range of mountain lions at the time. They are shown primarily in the west, excluding a roughly oval shape around San Francisco Bay in California and another around the eastern majority of Oregon which expands into California below and Washington above. Some remain in Florida as well. A darker stripe within along the Rocky Mountains down into Central America and the barely visible top of South America, and up Baja California. A line traces from the south west of Canada just above Washington state, down through North Dakota, Minnisota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and up slightly over New York through Vermont and New Hampshire to the other coast. Roughly around above and below it are dots. Below the map is the text:

A hundred years ago, the Cougar was found throughout America up to the line across southern Canada and the northern tier of States. In 1920 it was extirpated in the untinted areas of this region. It was occasionally found in the pale grey area and was a not uncommon inhabitant of the dark grey. The black dots are interesting records discussed in the text.
