some resources to peak at

this website belongs to the Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc community, and also provides a significant amount of important and informative resources.

the history of residential schools told from the perspective of indigenous people of canada - this website also provides other information in regards to the truth and reconciliation commission, as well as more information about how indigenous people’s are still fighting for the truth to come out.

st anne’s residential school in port albany, ontario was one of the worst of them all, and many of the indigenous children who were forced to attend are currently fighting for the entire truth to be revealed.

this entire website put out by UBC gives an informative and important look into the systematic racism that indigenous people’s in canada still suffer under

People with lack of reading comprehension are the funniest.

I have no issues with yt self-inserts or OCs. Create as many.

But I clearly said i find it ridiculous that all these OCs are "discount yt versions" of the same brown girl who is Kaz's canon love interest.

Atleast make some effort to be original instead of saying "this OC is an acrobat, can throw knives, was a slave and has nimble feet"

Nobody is saying don't create OCs or write self-inserts but when the OC is exactly the same as a character that already exists and that character is a woc, that's when it becomes a problem. Reader fics are fine and for a lot of people they bring a kind of comfort but I would highly recommend creating an actual original character rather than tossing aside a brown girl to make room for a white version.

inej actually was around kaz long enough to get to that point. you’re setting your character literally in inej’s shoes.

every character i love: 

Had so much fun designing this series of mermaid paintings based off of Indian saris! More art here: www.instagram.com/kelseyeng32

Also I am looking for illustration work - editiorial, YA, etc if anyone knows of anything :) 

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

REBLOG YOUR OWN WORK.
