Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

ive been noticing the EXACT SAME PROBLEM whenever i would export an image from procreate and it drove me CRAZY that my art would desaturate all the time. anyway, if you're in a canvas, go to settings > canvas > canvas information > color profile

once youre in color profile, if your current color profile is display P3, CHANGE IT!!!!!! it is desaturating your colors. you're gonna want to change it to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1 instead

if you're starting a new canvas, you can just go to color profile and change it that way. im SO grateful for this post for giving me the push i needed to experiment with procreate files and finally see what was changing my art to be so desaturated

like LOOK at this!!!!

I like asking bcuz mine is SPECIFICALLY my dialects word for grub/worm because it’s moose and it ALWAYS confuses non speakers HEGSHS

That's a hard question, because I really love bugs! I'm a big fan of spiders, the Boreal Tufted Jumping Spider (Phidippus borealis) is native to my traditional territory and is a big favourite!

In Chahta immi, the Choctaw tradition, Grandmother Spider helped introduce fire to all the animal relatives. The story I remember hearing was that in the early days, only Hʋshi akuchʋka hattak, the original people of the East / Sunrise, had light and heat and warmth. This was not fair, and the animals conspired to get Hʋshi to spread light equally to all directions.

At first the animals sent the brave scout who shows little fear in the face of opportunity: Shokkata, the Possum, who found what the light and the heat was -- it was the fire of the sun! He knew that if he brought it back all the plant and animal relatives would be able to grow... so he decided to reaaaaach down from the tree and down to the brightness he saw. And right when he touched it, he lifted it up to his tail... unfortunately Possum's tail and paws caught on fire! He ran home right away... and now our possum relatives still must live with hairless tails!

But the animals were brave and determined, so then the animals sent the most determined of the all, Shiki, the Buzzard, who hid the fire from the Hʋshi akuchʋka hattak in the feathers on his head -- until they ALSO lit on fire, and the feathers all burnt off, leaving Buzzard bald! (Buzzard flew in circles until the fire stopped, because he was scared he'd lose all his feathers... and now he still has a bald head and flies in circles today!)

By now, the animals were frustrated, so they said they would surely bring the fire home if they sent Fala, the Crow, the cleverest. Crow took off, pisa tohbi', looking white as snow -- but as Crow carried the fire back, the soot and smoke turned his feathers lʋssa, black! And it gave him a nasty cough to boot!!! And although he made it the farthest, he coughed and coughed - kaw kaw - and dropped the fire, too.

At this point, most of the animals say they want to give up! They will simply live forever in darkness and cold -- but Cholkhan, Grandmother Spider, is the most patient of all, and says, I will go and try.

Like all native grandmas it seems, she is good at making things. She is so good at weaving her hachuklampulechi, her webs, that she decides to weave a basket to catch Hʋshi. She makes a basket fine and tight -- it could carry water in fact, it was so fine and tight. In fact, not even heat or light could get out! And she drops it right on top of the great fire in the eastward direction, and she draaaaaaaaags it all the way back to the animals. When she flipped her basket back over again... there was fire!

After much rejoicing, the animals realize that this fire is dangerous indeed -- we all see our relatives new looks, eh? And none of us want to look like Buzzard and his shiny head... Who of us relatives is willing to be responsible and brave and foolish enough to safeguard this dangerous tool?

(The first people!)

And today, every time we cook or light a fire or blog on Tumblr (i guess electricity is fire), we owe thanks to Grandmother Spider and all the rest of the animal relatives who brought us fire, and we remember that we are responsible for safeguarding this gift on behalf of us and all of our relatives too!

The Phillipines is in southeast Asia, made of 7,641 islands! The oldest modern human remains are dated to roughly about 47,000 years ago, but the first evidence of hominims (notable ancestors) is dated about 709,000 years ago. (Cited from Wikipedia, theres a chance I misread/info is outdated so I wanted to cite sources)

They also have one of the longest celebrations of Christmas, starting as early as August and ending around the first or second week of January. (Cited from theculturetrip). The same website also notes a tradition where, if someone gets up to leave while everyone else is eating, everyone turns their plates to ensure safe travels.
