ID / TL;DW: young Black man explains the history of voodoo dolls: they originated in England, where Black people where prohibited from learning to read or write, to help witches keep track of what ailed their patients. Eg., person goes to witch and laments headache, they treat their headache and make a small doll (called "poppet"), trying to represent them as good as possible, stick a needle in its head and put it up a shelf. When they return next week, the witch takes their poppet and asks about their headache. If it's gone, they remove the needle, otherwise they know they have to treat a rather persistent headache.

i like percy x annabeth because despite what people assume. this is not dumb x smart or powerful x normal or something like that. they're both actually pretty similar. both very strategic, impulsive etc.

the difference between them is annabeth's plans are wild because she has absolute confidence they will work. percy's plans are wild because he has zero confidence that anything else will work. fundamental difference, says a lot about both of them, thank you hit post

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

just so we’re clear if you’ve never actually seen a cybertruck in person and have only seen photos of them i cannot stress enough how much worse they look in real life. like i honestly don’t know how it’s possible. most things look basically the same in pictures and in real life. but as stupid and ugly as cybertrucks look in photos, every person i’ve spoken to who has seen one in real life agrees that they somehow look even worse in person. and i know you’re thinking to yourself “tah they already look so bad in photos, how can they possibly look even worse in person?” I DONT KNOW. the first time i saw one on the road i was on a phone call and i literally cut myself off in the middle of a sentence just to be like “oh my GOD.” just an incredibly, laughably, unbelievably bad vehicle. i’ve never experienced anything like it. they’re just so bad

Remember in Crooked Kingdom, Inej remembers being horrified by a marketing artistic depiction of Suli girls who were drawn in an extremely sexualized, fetishized way with the phrase “Rare Spices”? Well, the same way those Suli girls were objectified in that advertisement, Inej is clearly objectified in the new official art/cards. It makes me so saddened. Inej would not want to be depicted like this at all. Why couldn’t she be drawn as a pirate, as the Wraith, or in non-sexualized, traditional acrobatic clothes? Her entire trauma stems from her being fetishized as a girl from a racial and ethnic minority, and as the only girl from a racial minority out of the crows, she’s the only one drawn like this.
