Bro, christopher columbas was a colonizer piece of shit and all, but if youre not talking about the forced sterilization of indigenous women, the lack of access to clean drinking water on reserves, the missing indigenous women who go missing with no investigation, or any of the other multitudes of indigenous issues happening currently today, your bonus woke points for saying fuck christopher columbus arent worth shit tbh

[sexycontainmentprocedures]

Hope it’s okay to add to this, I wanted to know more about these specific issues so here are some links for people:

on forced sterilization

on water crises

on missing persons (also here)

Wikipedia article outlining major issues

I think those are pretty US-centric, so here is Canadian info:

8 Key Issues for Indigenous Peoples in Canada

water crises (Canada-specific)

history and social info about their oppression

Lastly, I started wondering if Alaska has unique issues for its indigenous population, and it appears to:

info on Alaskan Natives’ history

“10 things you should know” (including hardships they face)

info on cops in Alaska

info on hawaiian sovereignty

Rogue One | The Mandalorian - Chapter 16: The Rescue

I love how Din Djarin just has no fucking clue what is going on around him like half the time. The main plot is happening around him and he's just so tired. Poor guy is like "what's a Jedi? "The force i don't know her" "does this look Jedi to you?" He has no idea who boba fett is, who bo-katan is or Luke frickin Skywalker he's just some guy who has absolutely no idea he's in star wars and i love that about him.

you CANNOT convince me the zuko didn’t know what he was doing with katara in the southern raiders. he was not the ‘devil on katara’s shoulder’ and certainly did not want to influence katara’s decision. 

some people act like there is not parallel between katara and zuko in the southern raiders, but there is. on the day of black sun, zuko is faced with the same choice, and in the end, he also decided to let ozai live. they both faced the reasons their mothers are gone from their lives and both chose to let them live. zuko wanted katara to forgive him, yes, but he also knows that she deserves to make the same choice he made. he was there because he knew what she was feeling. it had to be zuko to help her as well, it couldn’t be sokka, aang, toph, or suki, because none of them have gone through this before. 

zuko was there for her and he was there selflessly. he understood her choice and her anger better than anyone. this is why zutara is such a strong ship (or friendship if that’s what you like better.)

ZK Fanwork Appreciation Week Day 4: Angst Wednesday

In case Tumblr can’t play the video (or you want a higher than 480p quality version), here’s the Vimeo Link  

Based on Chapter 6 of i’m still here By @owedbetter (owedbetter on AO3) Rated T - Teen and Up Audiences

Is this angst? I am not really an angst person myself (Fluff all day, babey) but I knew I had to do owedbetter’s heart healing scene from i’m still here because it made me cry when I read it *sad lol* I just… it made me so saaad. The setup here is that Azula’s lightning that Zuko took for Katara actually did serious damage to Zuko’s heart beyond the power of the single healing session in the actual finale. So, Zuko is basically dying, everyone has returned from their various battles and are saying goodbye. But in i’m still here, Katara’s bloodbending from The Southern Raiders is actually discussed between Zuko and Katara prior, and that reminds Katara to try everything she’s got to save Zuko.  What I really loved about owedbetter’s story is just how powerfully she writes Katara, especially in this scene. Katara is just so cool. I love that she has the power to both end people and also save their freakin’ lives! And you know I gots to have my full moon imagery AGAIN. Apologies, I can’t stop; it’s like the best framing object to work with. I really think I went a bit overboard on the melodrama and effects too, but I just wanted to try to go as full throttle with neat imagery as I could with the time that I had. Katara deserves some spirit magic glowy shit too, dammit! Haha Hope owedbetter specifically likes it.

Line read by Dante Basco (Thank you for the additional line read, @rufiozuko) 

Music: Requim II - Princess Mononoke (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Requim - Princess Mononoke (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) The Legend of Ashitaka Theme - Princess Mononoke (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) This is all done with no intention of making money off these animatics; it’s purely fanart. >.>

DO NOT REPOST. And if Zutarians are going to screencap some frames, I think it is imperative to also acknowledge owedbetter too, because it’s based on their concepts and story. I simply translated it into visuals.

ZK Fanwork Appreciation Week Day 2: Media Monday

In case Tumblr can’t play the video, here’s the Vimeo Link

(Mature Content warning for below link. Do not click if under 18 or not into E-rated stories.) Adapted from Chapter 3 of Something Brewing  By @dracosollicitus (Draco_sollicitus on AO3) Rated E - EXPLICIT. (I cannot emphasize enough that while I only adapted the fluffy bits of build up in this chapter, this story is EXPLICIT and NSFW with Adult Zutara. DO NOT INTERACT/READ/REBLOG/LIKE IF UNDER 18 or if it’s not your thing. You have been warned.)

Credits Zuko … Dante Basco Katara … Soopersara 

HUUUUUGE Shoutout to Dante Basco @rufiozuko and @soopersara for being so kind and generous with their time so as to record a few lines of dialog for this. Their participation is NOT an endorsement of the fic so please don’t bother them about that. (Also, just to temper expectations, I was only able to do dialog for one of two animatics, and this one was shorter and more Zuko-heavy so it got picked.) My storyboard does NOT cover the NSFW parts; it is just pining and fluff. At this point in the story, Zuko and Katara have had a passionate kiss in the garden after a lot of yearning and build up to that point (not pictured) but it was interrupted. Katara’s trip to the fire nation is nearing its end. So they have to decide if they tell each other how they feel or leave things unsaid as she is set to leave. ToT Music: All Time Chump - Hercules (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Meg’s Garden - Hercules (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) This is all done with no intention of making money off these animatics; it’s purely fanart. >.> DO NOT REPOST. And if Zutarians are going to screencap some frames, I think it is imperative to also acknowledge Draco_Sollicitus too, because it’s based on their concepts and story.
