Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.

*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.

If you can't offer financial support, please consider donating items of need. Moontime Connections is currently accepting drop-off donations. If you live in the Thunder Bay area, Namaygoosisagagun Health Office is also taking in donations!

As a matter of fact, I know of a very fun one from the Nart Sagas of the Caucasus region — the tale of Alimbeg’s Daughter, which I adapted into a comic a few years ago.

You can read this and other Nart Saga adaptations on my site (adults only, please!):

what iron lung fans see

Do you know what the actual etiquette is? The one that's been around since Tumblr began? The one that's been followed dutifully up until the last few years?

Once an AU becomes so prevalent it starts becoming bothersome, YOU DON'T MAINTAG THE CANON FANDOM. Yes, this is a gray area when it comes to what constitutes as bothersome. Yes, bloodymary is WAY beyond that line.

Instead of bailing on the canon tag, SPREAD THIS MESSAGE. If someone refuses to follow this etiquette, BLOCK THEM.

You owe it to yourself, to your community, and to new fans who won't know the fandom exists in some obscure tag. Stand your ground and be vocal about this etiquette.

PS-- to the AU fans who insist they won't be found without the canon tag: yes you will. People subscribe to a tag when they know that's the fandom they want. People use the REGULAR SEARCH function to discover it. If your post has canon character or franchise names in it, or even non-canon tags, a regular search will display those.

A scene recycled from my least favorite episode of the series, heavily reimagined and placed in a new context to fit within my AU rewrite of season 3. This happens during an original episode near the beginning of the season, after Eye For an Eye and Infinite Realms but before Urban Jungle. It's Valerie and Danielle's first duo outing, pitting them against Danny and Tucker in a ghostly game show with some kind of big prize on the line!

Me rambling about AU/character stuff below:

Pigs yawning

I decided to add a little more mutilation to ghost Danny because, firstly, I like the idea of ​​ghosts looking like they did when they died (although, in that case, the kid should look like a coal and a pile of fried meat, but oh well), and secondly, I wanted his sides to be a little more different from each other, so that other characters would have a harder time recognizing him

+ another favorite headcanon is that because Danny literally died during the incident, he is almost an ordinary corpse and he is constantly cold and pale (it is even possible that after the accident, his body stopped aging and will now forever remain the body of a 14-year-old, or that his growth at least slowed down a lot. But this is somehow even too sad)

Little zalgo psa for y’all, audio on.

Accessibility n all that. We probably aren’t gonna read your fics and give comments and such if it’s this difficult to do.
