I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂

I'm on day 5 of migraine hell and I've just been in bed all day while it's been storming outside, and just when I start to feel (physically) okay, I get hit by Big Sad.

I’m sorry to continually blog about casshern this show is eating my brain like maggots but one thing that fascinates me about it is like- I heard it was inspired by mega man zero-i do not know the source but it seems likely, especially when it came out like 3 years after mmz ended-which I love because casshern itself inspired mega man so it’s really a snake eating its own tail thing, but what I like is they aren’t just copying the premise past “the world is in a ruined state, humans and robots have had a rough history prior to this and the mc has amnesia” because the huge thing that’s different about it regards how robots are actually superior in this timeline.

By the time of Zero the reploid population was at its lowest-like 90% of them were wiped out and we don’t know if the numbers kept dwindling after given how they are generally treated in mmz-but in Casshern it’s the opposite. Most of the humans are gone, robots rule over the earth, but they’re slowly falling apart as they begin to rust.

The robots had everything they wanted until the Ruin happened, yet even if a lot of them already looked human before, actually having to fear death made them more human, because they won’t be able to survive the world getting worse. They really *are* just humans but made out of metal at this point.

This is SUCH an interesting way to characterize robots becoming more human I love it so so much.

me patiently waiting the whole time to meet the services of my queen who just reincarnated like jesus 😌

And thank you kindly for sticking around to see my resurrection!! I really appreciate it ✨️ I've honestly had a bit of a hard time trying to nudge myself back into posting despite having started drawing again because the stagefright has had enough time to set back in. But then again, anyone who has followed this blog for a while knows my brand has always been Inconsistent Self-Indulgence so 😂 We are all just here to vibe anyway.

But regardless, I'm glad to be back after the long break and glad to see the community still hanging out! Please have this silly Laurence from a silly meme page I'm working on. As a token of my appreciation 👍 (He has no great ideas)

TW for racism and genocide of Native Americans

Today I learned that the original "The only good _, is a dead _," was "The only good Indian, is a dead Indian." And it really sucks that now I know this information.

Looks like it's speculated to be attributed to one specific Union general due to his actions, but it was more likely just a common anti-Native sentiment of the time held by a lot of the settlers, not just one person.

Like I know I hear 'the only good snake, is a dead snake' most often since I love being in snake discussion groups, which also sucks because I love snakes, and they shouldn't be killed.

But I've also heard like 'the only good Nazi, is a dead Nazi.' And like, I So agree with that, fuck Nazis, but I don't want to think about the original phrase being reclaimed like that for a laugh, no matter how much I agree that Nazis suck.

It should stay as horrifying and sickening as 'the only good Indian, is a dead Indian' in my opinion. I think we should retire the phrase entirely and just note that, that was the origin of it - the continued genocide of Native Americans during the 1800s when settlers were eager to get rid of us so they could claim property for themselves while forcing us into insufficient reservations as US America expanded westward.

This book I'm reading describes that the usual retaliation for the theft of a cow would have been the execution of an entire Indian village. One specific horrifying example given, is from accounts of a traveler that joined a group of Mexicans pursuing Indians (Chumash) in possession of stolen horses. They come across a group of some old Indians, women and children, drying the horse meat. Every last one was killed, and their ears cut off as proof for the priests that they made every effort to retrieve the horses.

This shit is so sickening. They were hungry and trying to survive.

It also describes how the accounts of Indians from my tribe before the mission system were all about how generous and welcoming they were. (Though, it was through the lens of the Spanish who saw us as ideal candidates for conversion because of this.) Then after the collapse of the missions and post-assimilation, the accounts simply describe the Indians' drunkenness and disorder. What did you expect???? You assimilate a group of people so they're entirely reliant on you (the rigid structure of the mission system and the dismantling of their previous tribal villages), and then suddenly turn them out to a world without their previous villages and social order. Of course they're going to struggle and suffer and abuse the drugs (alcohol) you introduced them to.

I hate this so much.

The book also mentions how, during the mission period, anyone who ran away from the missions to go back to their original tribal lives, would be dragged back to the missions and cruelly punished with restraints, lashing, or stocks, and they couldn't understand why because punishment was exceedingly rare before Spanish rule.

Ugh. Anyway.

I'm going to bring this up any time I hear anyone mention that phrase, because the horror of that time period should not be diminished in its modern reclamation. ('Diminished,' because I, a 30yo Native American, did not even know the origin. I thought it was a modern phrase. Our local Native history was always glossed over in school to focus on the mission system. I didn't even learn of my tribe's revolt until like 2016 when I went to a lecture my tribe held.)

I get that reclamation is supposed to be like a good thing, to take away the power of its original use, but I personally don't think that's appropriate for this phrase that was used as a rally for genocide.

Maybe I'm just being a sensitive baby, though, who knows! I'm crying while reading a history book about my tribe. This shit really hurts deep, though. It always has.

Just wanna say, if you've sent me an art request and I still haven't done it, I WILL do it. I promise. I look at my requests about 5 times a day and just stare and hope that motivation hits me.

I think I asked before, but I know fotpod is your crow/corvid Danny fic, but what’s the full name? Thanks. ❤️

honestly I'm so used to calling it FOtPoD I sometimes forget that's not an actual word & that. a lot of people probably have no idea what I'm talking about xD

it stands for Flying Over the Pit of Death & Danny's actually a black-billed magpie in it, though he does have crow friends (pics for birb reference)

one sec I wrote a whole thing on my DP side blog, daddyplasmius. okay it's here> [LINK] if you wanted to read my rambling about this project (& my FOtPoD memes)

do i go to the small hang out event (two of the people are midly irritating, it was planned Literally Monday, i'd have to leave the house, i'll feel bad if i don't,) or do i stay the fuck home and do gw2 raids with my guild (fun, also some annoying people but i can ignore/mute them, enjoyable, useful, haven't talked to one of the people for a bit,)

[lesbianlenas]

ok in totk which i have over 230 hrs in now btw it’s like. i farmed for 13 diamonds (this was not fun) which took me over 4 hrs to do so that i could fully upgrade the diamond circlet bc it has high defense at 28 and also has increased attack right and i wanted a headpiece that would give me a bonus and also be more than 20 defense…..anyway i did all that & i was so happy and yet 😭 i can never make myself wear it bc i’m like i HAVE to wear the korok mask all the time like i have to. ive already upgraded all my weapons slots and i really don’t need anymore bow or shield slots bc i have enough but i can’t bring myself to not know when there is a korok around. so it’s like i farmed for 4 hrs just so i could wear this diamond circlet for like 2 mins every now and again to fight an enemy and then take it back off. why do i do this to myself 😭

i cant even like post about the horrors that are going on currently because im gonna get too mad but oh my god. like i would give her really good credit for writing a character like marius that has 0 self awareness about his insanely disgusting behavior bc like. that CAN work. you can make the reader feel disgust and see things through the eyes of someone who is horrible while not romanticizing the behavior. clearly anne did not get the memo for this one.
