Especially when the logistics of the universe would indicate that the heroes should be smart and savvy enough to both play political games and recognize when they’re necessary.

Like actually. I don’t admire when a story seems to say “The only way to be good is to be naïve, and only evil things that can be accomplished by smart subtle means.”

Yes, you can cover your eyes for a movie, but books require more active participation from you, and it's much easier to stop and reassess whether you want to keep going, or choose to skim an upsetting scene (which I do frequently even now).

As always, picking what prompts to include was really hard thanks to you guys' wonderful brains, but we hope this list will excite many of you! Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut. Please check the FAQ below before sending asks.

he spotted a pun opportunity

i made this comic intending to tell one (1) joke but ended up with at least six puns. i've shared bits of it before, but it's all together below!

Siffrin does not carve with his knife.

This one, This knife right here ^^^ the blade is made for slashing outward (the curve increases dynamics and contact during a slice) or inward (inner sharpened curves are used in agricultural purposes with further evolution into weapons) it is weaponry, they should not be carving with it!

if you want canon reference as to why he doesn't carve, he literally states they lost their carving tools before the loops!

If you want to carve something out of wood, you need to have tools much thinner and more precise, not to mention Sharp to make something as simple as a spoon <- in this video alone, there's: spoke shave, draw knife, hook knife, and sloyd knife

(you can substitute gouges to that list as an alternative for the hook knife & add files if you don't use spoke shaves for a clean finish, some sandpaper goes alongside woodworking always)

Now I'll acknowledge that the person in the vid I linked is specialized in carving spoons & axe handles and has the tools for that, so if you're doing more Whittling, then "carving knives" are literally named for their use and they look like this:

small blade, big handle, also known more specifically as a chip carving knife, it's the most common used for small projects that don't use a vice (in the vid the vice is a special kind called a shave horse, used for objects that need adjusting while working yada yada dw about it)

but I wanted to make A singular post addressing this inaccuracy I see so often in fics and art when they mention carving, and I hope someone sees this as an invitation to do more research

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.
