Mod Release: Bosmeri Swallowtail Armor - Sassy Tweaks

somewhere out there, a writer is looking at the anguished keysmash and string of emojis you left on their fics and smiling. somewhere out there, somebody's shitty day has been made a teensy bit brighter because of you said you want them to update their writing. somebody who's feeling insecure about their story is sitting down to write a few more paragraphs because you said you loved their style.

to everyone saying their comments don't matter: they DO. writers don't care whether your comment sounds apathetic or unenthusiastic, because even something like (taking prev's example) "wow i loved this. this is cool. you are good at this Writing thing." will help. nobody will ever find you annoying or insincere.

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.
