i adore commander wake. this is not a meme i unironically adore and somewhat admire this woman. like she is up there with some of my all time favorite indigenous female characters. people often call her crazy or insane and she probably is to a degree but i can't help but love that about her.
she dedicated her entire life and death to killing god. she almost did it, too, is the thing. it's not that she tremendously failed– she was absolutely almost successful. she was ruthless. she's revered. BoE has shrines of her in their offices. she looked god in the face and demanded he say her full name, thus speaking their shared ancestral language– a language he almost entirely wiped out. she wouldn’t let him get rid of it that easy. she charged him with genocide. there is no such thing as a house civilian to her, similarly how there's no such way to be a settler on stolen land and also a civilian.
i love indigenous women who are so rightfully angry. i love indigenous women who are radicals and fanatics and extremists. i love indigenous women who want to see empires burn. i love you awake remembrance of these valiant dead kia hua ko te pai snap back to reality oops there goes gravity.
