Hey, since I keep getting stuff like this on Tiktok/other social media platforms:

Friendly reminder to PLEASE. stop using "narcissist" to describe an abuser or any situation regarding that. I have seen so many genuinely validating and strong posts or discussions be ruined by ableist and inaccurate terminology. It's irritating. There are so many powerful words in the English language and yet you turn to demonizing a disorder. If you want to work on normalizing the effects of trauma then normalize defending NPD as well.

If you use the term "narc-abuse" then I hope you weep when you realize I'm in a perfectly healthy relationship with a narcissist.

Random Headcanon: There are 3 varieties of license for people hoping to own pokemon- junior, standard, and professional.

Junior Trainer License- Allows individuals between 10 and 16 years of age to own and train pokemon, as well as engage in Junior League competitions and challenge gyms. The species allowed to be owned by junior trainers is commonly restricted with different areas having different restrictions (ex. only indigenous species, only pokemon under a certain power level). Due to the young age at which children can attain their licenses, most schools provide afterschool and weekend prep classes starting in the third grade. Junior licenses must be renewed every 2 years, costing $10-15.

Standard Trainer License- Allows individuals age 17+ years of age to own and train pokemon. The species allowed to be owned are rarely greatly restricted, with restrictions to ownership of legendary or mythical pokemon as well as potential restrictions based on local concerns (ex. no steelix in the city, no caterpie-line in areas where they’re invasive). Standard licenses must be renewed every 5 years, to the tune of $100-125.

Professional Trainer License- Allows individuals 17+ years of age to train pokemon in a professional capacity, challenge gyms, and engage in all ranks of League competition. Legendary or mythical pokemon species may not be owned or trained. Professional licenses must be renewed every 2 years or whenever a new region is entered, costing $50-60.

All trainer licenses allow free use of pokemon centers and their amenities. All licenses are granted only upon passing the associated exam, which tests knowledge on pokemon care, first aid, training, and associated laws. Individuals above the age of 17 may downgrade or upgrade their license to another variety at any time. Licenses can be revoked upon conviction for pokemon abuse or neglect, pokemon-powered assault, murder, and/or failure to take precautions to avoid excessive pokemon-related damage.

While the age at which children can obtain licenses is 10 across the board, the age at which one can begin journeying varies from area to area from as low as 10 to as high as 17. Individuals do not need the permission of a parent or guardian, though they are required to be registered at their local pokemon center to ensure authorities know they’ve left and can track their general area through the pokemon centers’ journey systems. These systems also alert the League should a trainer not check into a pokemon center for 3 weeks (10 days if the trainer is in possession of a junior license) without previously removing themselves from the register.

Most regions- especially those in which young child may journey- have a Journey Beginners program offered to individuals 20 years of age or younger who have not previously been registered in the pokemon center systems. Funded through taxes, these programs offer aid to young trainers looking to set out on their own. This aid includes free classes and seminars on first aid, hiking, survival, campfire cooking, etc. Even to individuals who don’t partake in these lessons, programs typically offer supplies to start one off on their journey free of charge, which include-

A backpack

Individual-sized tent and sleeping bag

Booklet of maps of the region + compass

Book on important local plants & local pokemon

Booklet on item gathering and sale

Dried and canned food for 2 weeks

Pokemon food for 2 weeks

Water for 1 week + water purifying tablets

Reusable utensils

Flashlight + batteries

Pokegear or similar product

Emergency blanket

Fire starting kit

First aid kit

Bug spray

Sunscreen

Toiletries

Multi-tool

10-20 pokeballs

$200 in emergency money, also good for buying the remaining essentials (extra clothes, headgear, etc) for those that need them

These programs will also provide starter pokemon to individuals without them, typically a choice between three indigenous pokemon of the fire, grass, and water types that have been determined to be optimal beginner pokemon as well as handy on the road. These pokemon are provided by breeders specializing in the production of healthy, reliable starters. These starters are given a bit of training prior to being issued, teaching them how to activate the emergency alert function on pokegears/similar products on their own in an emergency.

I just got an ask about a Native spirit that many Natives have asked monsterfuckers to not use.

It starts with a W.

People from the culture it’s from do not say its name because in their culture, saying the name summons the spirit. Out of respect for my friends from that culture, I do not say/type the name either.

I would kindly ask you not put that creature in my ask box in the future. I know the person that submitted it likely didn’t know so there’s no hard feelings. It’s alright. I’m not upset.

I’m not really the best person to educate folks on this topic and I wish I had some resources on why that’s not a good thing for non-Native people to use for their fiction.

I’m sure even my wording here isn’t great. I know the spirit is from a specific Native culture (there’s a lot of them, for those that didn’t know lol) and I can’t remember which one(s) and my brain is still fuzzy from being sick.

So if any of my followers are familiar with this issue, please feel free to share the info of why this isn’t good.

Again, I understand the person that sent the ask likely didn’t know all this. I’m not upset. I just think it’s worth mentioning.

Ugh I’m trying to research to find resources of actually Native folks saying it’s bad for non-Native folks to use this spirit and instead I’m just finding Hot Takes like

“The *** may be a figure from American Indian mythology, but it belongs to all of humankind”

No? Like haven’t we (colonizers) taken enough from Indigenous people without also appropriating their spirits and misusing them? Fuck right off.

I’m too sick to deal with this shit today.

Hello! Hi! Yes! Maybe I can help here!

Here are some very basic things to help people understand this:

The spirit in question, for those who can’t recognize it from the op (which is fair), is the w-ndigo (plural w-ndigoag). It is specifically from the Algonquin people, but it’s also been spread to other Anishinaabe tribes and cultures.

(Quick side note: Algonquin is a specific tribe while Anishinaabe is the cultural group. Think of it like a country in a continent, like how Japan is an individual country but shares some cultural aspects with some other East Asian countries because of cultural exchange and shared histories.)

We (Anishinaabe people) aren’t actually supposed to say its name, like the op said, especially in winter or at night. We believe that its name has powers and can call attention to it. Many people online censor it, while people irl will use other terms for it to avoid saying the name.

Usually, we only talk about it in detail at specific times. It’s not something to be casually discussed or used as a fun character in movies and games.

(We’re also taught not to whistle outside during winter nights because that calls its attention. It’s a running joke in a lot of Anishinaabe circles.)

The most likely theory behind its appropriation is that people who were invited to Anishinaabe story circles and other cultural events, with the expectation that they would behave respectfully, took our sacred stories and shared them without permission, butchering them in the process.

Everything about it in media is wrong! So, so wrong! In every way! The only accurate thing about in media is that it’s a cannibal spirit, that’s it.

It’s not a deer. It has never been a deer in Algonquin or Anishinaabe folklore and the idea is wild to me. Where did that even come from? Its actual physical description varies but it’s always humanoid and that’s as much detail as I want to get into here.

It’s very much a local spirit, based around the winters Anishinaabe tribes experience in the Northern US and throughout Canada. Trying to put it anywhere else… doesn’t make sense. This is aimed at you, Hazbin Hotel fandom. A w-ndigo would die from heat exhaustion in New Orleans.

The w-ndigo itself isn’t just about cannibalism, it’s about greed and selfishness and how taking everything you want makes you stop valuing the people and world around you and stop caring about who you’re hurting. A person doesn’t have to be a cannibal to become a w-ndigo, they just need to be a selfish asshole (and, depending on who you ask, Anishinaabe).

Many moden Anishinaabe people see the w-ndigo as just a warning and a metaphor; Potawatomi author Robin Wall Kimmerer used it as a manifestation of climate change and environmental destruction in her book Braiding Sweetgrass. Other Anishinaabe people, particularly those of us who are more spiritual/religious (like me!), believe the w-ndigo and other spirits to be real beings who deserve respect and care, not just scary stories.

And finally, this spirit is sacred to us. No, sacred doesn’t always mean good. The w-ndigo is a vital part of our cultures and our histories and it deserves respect. Our peoples have been massacred, our children kidnapped, our dances and languages and religions criminalized, our lands stolen, our spiritual leaders murdered. Please just leave our spirits alone. Let us keep hold of what little colonization and genocide has left us.

People are attracted to a fictional man and go "oh well he HAS to be buff" NO HE DOESN'T! ACCEPT HIM FOR THE WEAK ARMED NERD HE IS! CHERISH THAT!

collaberal-damage

I promise a man does not have to be ripped to be attractive! He can be skinny as a twig, or literally any degree of fat! He's still hot, you don't have to make him muscular to make him handsome or beautiful!

collaberal-damage

I am once again begging all of you to remember that fat men are included in this post and the sentiment goes doubly for them. People can have body fat and, shock and awe, be attractive! Imagine that!
