Found footage movies that get turned into a series of found footage movies are always so funny. We keep buying cameras and the guys keep getting eaten by ghosts and I said well its seems like you're just feeding journalists to the monsters and then my producer started crying
my craziest take is you can be cis in a trans way if you feel like it. Like its literally no big deal. if you wanna be completely cisgender but still feel as if you're alienated from your agab then you can be cis in a trans way
you can be cis and give yourself other pronouns too. you can be a woman who's he/him and entirely femme. who cares. Literally who cares
Moisturized. Happy. In their lane. Unbothered. Doing their thing. Happily confusing people because the massive supercomputer has no actual gender and they choose to present their little puppet however they feel like. ^^)
Tired of starving every month… I’m very tired in general. Hate this place

I requested Alastor and his shadow cuddling Lucifer, because the shadow loving Lucifer too is one of my favorite things. @applepartysins did such a lovely job! Everyone should absolutely head to her Ko-fi and get her a coffee.

u can call ur skull-head deer oc literally anything else u don't even have to change the design
PLEASE. THIS IS A ONE INCH HIGH BARRIER: JUST DON'T USE A WORD. IT'S NOT HARD.
It's a frightening lack of respect for a group to go "hey this is our culture/religion/mythology? Please don't use that word" and apparently all the white people are like "but what if I did anyway to make my unity horror game 0.01% scarier?"
Just use a different word! Call it a deerman, deer god, forest spirit, whatever. Try to care at least a little when someone says not to use their culture for entertainment.
Here's a list of deer in mythology. If you have to have a mythology-based creature, you can go find one of these that's not THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN SPECIFICALLY ASKED NOT TO USE.
Alternative words/terms/names to call the creature the internet made up: -The hungry ones -The stalker -Forest spirits -The antlered beasts -Blood starved beast ((thank you bloodborne)) -Famine incarnate -They who come at night -Geoff -Anything else you can come up with Literally use the creativity you used to design your creature and give them a name that hasn't been stolen from a culture you don't understand.
i'd like to add that the original creature isn't even deer based, and has nothing to do with deer, the creature that has a deer skull you see in art and movies is like...arguably a different thing
For folks who don’t knows what word is being talked about: W*nd*go. In addition to the above, I wanted to clarify to anybody who is confused (my understanding) of why it’s censored in the original post and why I’m choosing to censor it when interacting with above posts: I have been told that you’re not supposed to use the real name so as not to attract its attention (like the true name of the bear being lost because so many cultures called it taboo, or inverse to why many Jewish folks censor G*d/god in their writing)
While I’m not a believer in anything supernatural, it’s a pretty low bar to clear to just… not use a sincerely held cultural belief outside of its context and stripped of anything but questionable aesthetic, particularly when you yourself are not of that culture (see: yes it actually is different from all the Christian mythological “reinterpretations”)
I'm native american and my tribe is a subdivision of the Algonquin who first told the story of the Wendigo and you are all spreading a lot of misinformation that is very frustrating to me, it feels like an uphill battle to keep explaining this, please read.
This is like the third or fourth time I've reblogged this but I'm doing it on my other account because I don't wanna keep spamming my poor followers with the same post.
If you are not indigenous you have NO RIGHT to tell people how we feel about our stories and myths. You do not KNOW what our sincerely held cultural beliefs are. And as a matter of fact, you are painting us all as the 'noble savage' trope by assuming that we are all so cripplingly superstitious and we so deeply believe in our monsters that saying the name of one is offensive to us.
The Wendigo is a myth. It is a story. It is a legend. You can say the word Wendigo. Stop going after random strangers you don't know for saying a word you don't even understand. Stop it. Please. It has never been a forbidden word. It isn't even part of the legend that 'saying its name will summon it', you summon the Wendigo by engaging in cannibalism.
The legend itself has an important message about greed and destruction, about selfishness in the face of death and survival. It has been used to describe many variations of greed and selfishness, both in the form of other natives and from invaders. But we don't all believe in a literal evil spirit/monster that will come get us if YOU say the word Wendigo, that's infantilizing.
The language of my tribe is nearly extinct. Our stories have been suppressed for centuries by racist non-Natives. We don't care if non-Natives tell our stories as long as they get the story RIGHT by at least taking it from an original source, because it keeps them alive.
By the way the Wendigo is totally unrelated to deer and does not have antlers, that shit is just made up by non-natives, which also pisses me off to no end. Wendigo is a spirit that possess a human, so it looks like a human, it could be anyone you know, that is part of the message and moral of the story.
(btw I won't be responding to anything on this account, I've said what I needed to say)
THANK YOU
Look I know people mean well, I DO. I'm not saying these things to make anyone feel bad or to be angry, but if you DO want to help elevate Native voices, please understand the difference between uplifting our voices and speaking OVER US. If you want to uplift our voices then find things written by actual natives and reblog it, and ask actual natives and reblog that, interviews, native american websites and books written by natives, etc. And also don't ask one tribe to speak for another because we are not all the same. But by taking one thing you heard somewhere and spreading that around from your own mouth, you're speaking OVER us.
Even if one native told you not to say it, that's one native. I promise the majority of us are NOT overly supersitious. If one native you spoke to is so superstitious that it freaks them out if you say the word Wendigo, then don't say it around them. If you want to protect the virgin ears of everyone with a closely held belief then don't say the name of ANY mythological beast, don't say 'God', 'Jesus', or 'Satan'. (If you think only white/European/colonists believe that saying 'Satan' will summon him, I would like to point to a swath of very traditional Christian native Americans including my own grandfather)
I saw one person say like 'respect the culture and the people who are SCARED of that shit' in the tags and like, once again, that is SO infantalizing. I know you don't mean it to be, but you really think all natives are so SCARED of a story that we get genuinely distressed by you TYPING it on the internet??? And you don't see how stereotypical that is?
Again, I'm not saying this to make anyone feel bad for trying to help, but if you want to help then you will understand this.
To people reblogging posts written by actual natives (not just mine, anyone), thank you for setting an example, it's the only thing tempering my frustration, to see some people out there spread my words without speaking for me, and learning from it. <3
(okay I lied about not responding to anything, this one just hits right)
Important correction!
(sorry for spreading misinfo before)
i hate how impossible it is for me to find out which if any of the claims are true, but i was wondering about the previous one because i'm always really nervous when someone says "you can't say or use things from this culture".
because... like, that is usually not about respect. it is usually about trying to make sure the culture dies out. the people in the 70s who told me never ever to use AAVE didn't do it because they respected black culture; they did it because they wanted to make sure black culture didn't corrupt their perfect pure white culture.
so when someone says "yeah don't refer to native words or concepts", the first thing i hear is "we want to make sure there's as little record left of this as possible, we don't want it having any kind of lasting impact". and maybe that's not the intent every time, but gosh, it sure does keep coming up.
Something told me yall would like this
