Hi everyone let’s try build two (2) (✌️) trees today :)

Experiences the most emotional turmoil and artistic agony a human can experience for the next eight minutes

Okay 😦 I think I like how the first tree is going 😟 I’m really happy with how my base is turning out 😬

Hi miscellaneous hermit of the day your base is so cool and everything you make is so cool and you’re so cool let’s go stargazing together and maybe kiss on the cheek and forehead but no further ☝️

Okay :) second tree time!

Fourteen minutes more of convulsing on the floor and coughing up blood

I had a once in a lifetime experience a few days back lol 😜 because

…………ooorgh……….. the suffering………

Okay time to talk about my OCs!

1. A lot of dudes. Just a ton of fucking people from beginning to end of the process.

2. Ancient people weren't stupid, they just figured shit out the same way we do: fuck around until you find out.

3. We're gonna plan this out and it's gonna take ten fucking years, and you will cope.

4. Sticks and string are surprisingly versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, like moving stuff and making sure things are even and go in the spot you wanted to put them in!

So like. Historians, archaeologists, locals who have preserved the local oral traditions, often people who are all three? They'll say "this earthworks monument is this age, this is how they built it, this is how we know." Then Graham Hancock and his ilk show up and say "ackchually 🤓 it's 15000 years old and Atlanteans built it. trust me, I did my own research."

Often these structures aren't... I swear I'm not trying to belittle people who did amazing things, but they're not technically impressive. The technology to build them isn't that complicated. But they're VERY logistically and culturally impressive because planning and coordinating and motivating that construction took a LOT of people working together for a LONG time and getting a lot of people together to build a big thing by hand is itself an amazing feat. And the workers who did it weren't just "unskilled" laborers, they were highly skilled artisans and trade workers.

“the villain is supposed to be sympathetic?? how is it racist if i like the villain??”

there is a systemic problem where people will accept or even excuse the actions of a white villain and demonize non white characters— especially female ones — for the exact same actions

”but you’re supposed to think their actions are wrong bc they’re the hero! it’s expected when the villain is bad, which is why it’s subversive to like them”

there is a SYSTEMIC problem across MULTIPLE FANDOMS where white antagonists are offered MORE grace, sympathy and attention over their non white counterparts, even if the non white characters are major characters or even the protagonist

They dont have to relate to characters who are poc or poc coded because usually the media is chock full of people who look like them to choose from. But if some wander into a space that isn't largely white characters, they will latch onto a white character just for that sense of familiarity. They haven't had to put their pale skin aside for a character very often or even ever. They're accustomed to that privilege.

The never having to settle, it just seems to place a mental distance between them and characters they could relate to if they would just let go of the other white character they keep making excuses for. Many people point out characters that would be absolute smash hits if they were white but because they aren't they get entirely ignored or people perform weird hate toward them(Wyll art where they show him decapitated, or in a sexual relationship with his white coded slave owner mizora in baldurs gate, ekko having art of him being lynched by caitlyn, calling him the n word, and even making racist remarks to ekko's real literal actual person voice actor via social media? None of that was necessary. Not one bit).

When the threat of segregation popped up again a few months ago, many poc I saw were having fun making jokes about it in online spaces, but any white people i saw were almost EXCLUSIVELY upset due to the mere prospect of having to eat unseasoned food. Never mind literally anything else, they just wanted access to "good food" and made no other comments at large. They were begging other white people not to be bigots because they won't have access to their favorite restaurants, but damn the people who make that food, huh?

Its much the same in media. They make poc people tropes or cutouts to support the white characters and when they do that enough, thats it, they no longer matter. Not to mention that these characters are meant to serve this purpose so absolutely that they often dont get a love interest, or their own aspirations. They're a satelite character who only revolves around another one who's deemed more important and gets more agency and development.
