everything fell apart without two

but two would've fallen apart without three

(Two Lives Three Dies AU)

[starlightandtears]

Finding out that Frances Dana Barker Gage, a white woman, rewrote Sojourner Truth’s famous speech to be more stereotypically “Southern slave” (complete with slurs and misspellings like dat, dere, dey) when Sojourner Truth was actually from New York and spoke only Dutch until she was almost ten and wouldn’t have actually sounded that way linguistically and decidedly did not use the phrase “Ain’t I A Woman?” at all is…whew. And on top of everything, she embellished details about Sojourner Truth’s life (like the number of children she had/how many of them were sold into slavery), wrote that ST said that she could take beatings like a man, and the reception of the speech in the room (she claims ST was called a n*gg*r, earlier accounts say the room was welcoming).

Lmaooo peak white feminist antics.

You can read the most accurate transcript here, alongside the racist edited one.

I was already disgusted just reading about this but looking at the side-by-side comparison of the real speech and the rewrite really brought it home.

See the two versions of her first line below:

Yeah I remember a few years ago when I found this out through Feminista Jones and was mad but not that surprised because white woman so….

[enchantedpencilcomics]

This sent me down a bit of a research rabbit hole and I found a cool thing where afro Dutch women read Sojourner’s speech aloud in their contemporary Dutch dialects in hope of offering a more truthful rendition of her authentic Dutch voice.

Where is he? Where's my brother, Becile? What did you do with him?!

at first I was like "that happened because of the explosion" but now I think maybe he just lost sight in his left eye and then he started injecting his face with Blue Matter. He's Handling Things Great As You Can Tell

AU where everyone is happy and healthy and have both the words and self awareness to identify with an LGBTQ identity.

Marten: Gay. Straight up. Most likely to fall in love with a human ngl.

Ferrous: Nonbinary. He/him pronouns but only because that’s what everyone calls him anyway. Is he a man? A woman? Both? Neither? He’s a robot, that’s all anyone knows for sure. Human!Ferrous would use they/them

Auston: Transfem. She just doesn’t know it yet.

Percy: Aroace. Romance? No thank you! Sex? Nah. He’s a busy guy and is content with his family and friendships, why would he want more?

The significance of plot without conflict

In the West, plot is commonly thought to revolve around conflict: a confrontation between two or more elements, in which one ultimately dominates the other. The standard three- and five-act plot structures–which permeate Western media–have conflict written into their very foundations. A “problem” appears near the end of the first act; and, in the second act, the conflict generated by this problem takes center stage. Conflict is used to create reader involvement even by many post-modern writers, whose work otherwise defies traditional structure.

The necessity of conflict is preached as a kind of dogma by contemporary writers’ workshops and Internet “guides” to writing. A plot without conflict is considered dull; some even go so far as to call it impossible. This has influenced not only fiction, but writing in general–arguably even philosophy. Yet, is there any truth to this belief? Does plot necessarily hinge on conflict? No. Such claims are a product of the West’s insularity. For countless centuries, Chinese and Japanese writers have used a plot structure that does not have conflict “built in”, so to speak. Rather, it relies on exposition and contrast to generate interest. This structure is known as kishōtenketsu.

I held a storyboarding class the other day where this post came up in discussion, so I thought I repost it for future reference. Does storytelling HAVE to have conflict? I thought they made an interesting case for - not necessarily.
