THEY TOOK HIM FROM ME 💔 INFOLD WHEN I CATCH YOU..

I'm going to be posting a lot over the next few hours, bear with me. I'm reporting back as I find out information

VERSION 6.0

Wander in Wonder rerun, July 9th-July 17th

Home update with the kitchen

Other info here:

I am actively trying to find out if "coming soon" and Valko's info in WU is still there. This could very well be a delay like many of us were expecting.

Also, it's worth noting that the next multi was supposed to be Misty Invasion, NOT Wander in Wonder. It seems they are purposefully skipping over several other (spicier) banners. Infold is being watched, I'm sure of it.

We are still waiting on an official statement from them. I'm not losing hope until they definitively say that Valko is not getting released.

I will update you as soon as I have more information.

Yes, boycott in full effect. Info below. Use hashtags: #BringValkoBack #BringBackValko #BlackoutForValko

REBLOG!!

They’ve put out a notice about the 6.0 update in the game. Just the usual stuff about storage and updating the client or whatever. This is only in the game, not on socials.

Edit:

It seems too big to just be a damn kitchen. I think we’re getting him back yall.

I looked up chinese complains and they're either not Valko related (731 number in story, main story neglected), or just not valid (calling him gay, for western players, a home intruder!?).

people always say that internet spaces are americanised because the users are majority americans.

and i do always wonder how much of that is "there are actually a majority of usamericans" and how much is "usamerican cultural markers are a default for many online spaces, and non usamericans are often indistinguishable from usamericans unless you're actively looking".

so here's an incredibly unscientific poll reblog for reach or whatever

His name was George Gillette.

Those tears were not tears of fear.

Those were tears shed out of helplessness and the inability to do anything about it.

He was the leader of the Mandan, Arikala, and Hidatsa tribes, and that day he was being forced to sign an agreement with the U.S. government to hand over his ancestral lands.

The purpose was to build a dam on the Missouri River.

That signature meant that over 600 square kilometers of land homes, schools, churches, fertile fields—would all be permanently submerged underwater.

Gillette understood.

"What I'm selling isn't just land,

it's the very memory of my people."

But he had no choice.

If he had refused to sign, the tribe wouldn't have received any compensation whatsoever.

His tear-stained face remains one of the most powerful records, symbolizing the wounded dignity experienced by Native Americans.

Indigenous culture and history exist outside of capitalism and Western norms, making us extremely vulnerable to abuse by the systems and governments that serve everyone else.

To the capitalist machine, we are expendable.

Before 1492, it's been estimated that nearly 100 million people lived and thrived in the Americas [citation], accounting for about 20% of the global population.

Twenty. Fucking. Percent.

Today, Indigenous Americans account for less than 0.01% of the global population.

Europeans brought us plague and infighting, established themselves as superior, and began centuries of abuse and mistreatment toward indigenous populations across the Americas. It still persists today.

But we also persist. We are still here.

Indigenous existence is resistance.

I've had to fight my own government back home since I was a kid. I can give you first-hand retellings of the dangers I've had to face when defending our ancestral land. The police and government barely care about us, only moving against criminal/illegal activity when it's safe enough for them or looks good on a headline.

Why do you need me?

First of all, she's not feminine. Or intentionally masculine. She's literally just a woman who doesn't give a shit, but also doesn't have to give a shit. She wears no makeup, her style is plain and utilitarian, there's literally nothing extra in what she wears — which obviously is somehow dictated by her role and the fact that she lives in a fucking haunted horror town, but anyway. Her hair is shoulder length, which is literally the most unintentional genderless style to me, because shorter hair would probably suggest butch more stereotypically, longer hair would be stereotypically more feminine and, more importantly, impractical.

She's not beautiful either. You wouldn't call her ugly or anything, but 'pretty' is just not her category. I also really like the fact that she's not skinny, and she wouldn't be this cool if she were skinny, because there's this unapologetic, physical presence about her that implies strength.

And yet, which is really important, she's not unshakable. She doesn't just do everything on her own, she isn't 100% confident. Moreover, she's breakable, and it's been shown many times. She has feelings and worries, but it's the fact that she struggles that makes the viewer see her as strong. There's also nothing special or 'heroic' in an action way about what she does, she's just doing what has to be done, and this is so much more, because it's real and even relatable.

Second (or third, or wait, where was I?), to the great joy of my asexual ass, there's no romance implied, involving her. As much as I love the headcanon that Donna is a lesbian, I'm happy that she doesn't have an explicit partner in the show and all of her relationships are based on respect rather than attraction, and it's just so good.
