Prairie. Convoy. Thirst 1

Stockholm Syndrome in the Wild West. So she didn’t make it to prison. The convict and the escort disappeared without a trace

@dryndelicate @sarahwellshunter @danni-gurrl I promised you to publish a continuation of the story about Prairie and the girl with flowers

Should I say more...

As an art request, please may I have some pia of harenhal she’s my favorite minor character 🫶🖤

Sure of course!!

I really like Pia as a character. From a writing perspective, she’s very similar to Pod, Mya, Gendry— lowborn, minor characters who we see from multiple points of view. We see a lot of development for these characters across the books, even though they’re peripheral (Well. Pod and Gendry aren’t really peripheral, but you get what I’m saying). It’s through these characters that I think we see a lot of George’s arguments surrounding class, feudalism, and war. Pia is also I think one of the most real characters in the books. Who doesn’t know a girl like Pia in their own life? How many people like her have existed throughout history? Some of us are like her ourselves. Yes, a lot of our main characters are easy to project ourselves onto, but characters like Pia are I think the truest audience surrogates, in some ways.

I really hope that she finds a happy ending.

What Is Vegan Leather Made Of? Many Plant Leathers Are Being Used (greenmatters.com)

Yes, plant leather is a great idea (not better than animal leather, in my personal opinion, but that's down to each individual's thoughts on the matter). But unfortunately much of it just can't replicate many of real leather's beneficial properties- and a lot of plant leathers heavily involve plastic in their production. (source)

Look, ALL clothing production needs to be more sustainable at this point. The chemicals involved in tanning actual leather, unless it's organic leather, aren't good for the environment either. And I will never rag on someone for their choice to avoid real leather- we're all just trying, I hope, to make the best choices according to our values and within the confines of a broken system (as long as we're not hurting anyone else). For me, the massive habitat loss and environmental destruction caused by plastics production and waste is a greater evil than the deaths of individual animals in the production of meat and/or leather. So I choose real leather and try to make each piece last as long as I can, aware that any choice I make will have environmental impacts and is not perfect. Someone else might see it differently, and I really am not in a position to judge their choices.

However.

The term "vegan leather" is blatant greenwashing, and 99% of the time it applies to plastic. If people prefer to wear plastic to avoid real leather, that's fine, but they- and moreover companies -need to be honest about that. Just like synthetic fabrics should be called plastic, so should synthetic leather. Even some of the allegedly "plant-based" stuff, it turns out.

I'm honest that my real leather is animal hide. Time for the faux-green fashion industry to display some honesty of its own.
