THREE O'CLOCK

AND IN THE REAL DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL ❝ this is the hardest part. you're back but you're not really here. more and more of you stays there. where's home, frank? is it here or is it there? i want to hear you say it. ❞ indie maria castle from punisher series. please read rules before interacting. drafts: four starters: one messages: zero TRACKING: #MRCSTGLN IT IS ALWAYS THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING

[stephysource]

here is something i haven’t seen people talk about.

RESPECTING YOUR DUPLICATES

no one is forcing you to interact with them, or follow them or even look at them. there is a blacklist for a reason if you don’t want to see them around. but people need to get rid of the idea that THEY own the character, and no one else can play as them. get rid of that mentality that no one else is allowed to have that muse that YOU DIDN’T CREATE, and that anyone who has that muse should be chased away because they aren’t you. that makes you an asshole quite honestly.

unless it’s your OWN ORIGINAL CHARACTER, you cannot tell people not to write a muse. it’s okay to be uncomfortable with duplicates, i think we all get a little anxious or nervous about them, but it is NOT okay to try and chase them all out. vagueing about them, sending them hate and telling them they’re not good at what they do? that’s fucked up. so stop. you do not own that canon character you’re playing and you should stop trying to chase them all away and acting like you’re the best of the best. everyone brings something to the table.

so just. the moral of the message is RESPECT THAT DUPLICATES EXIST AND QUIT TRYING TO CHASE THEM AWAY BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONE.

that is all.

i hear you with the maria teaming up with the punisher thoughts but i counter with: a maria who hates the woman her husband has brought back with him in her absence. the overseas affair, the one he swore he was over. the war that stole him from her.

Eighth Generation is what modern Native American design looks like without cultural appropriation 

Louie Gong describes his company, Eighth Generation, as “a Native-owned, community-engaged small business that began when I started putting cultural art on shoes.” It’s true, in 2008, Gong began decorating sneakers and skateboarding apparel with indigenous Nooksack patterns — a move that, as a Nooksack himself, set him apart from the non-Native designers who’d been doing so for years. As demand grew, so did Gong’s ambition.

Here you go, kids!

How to procure Native-American-and-First-Nation-themed items without entitlement or cultural appropriation in one easy step.

BUY THE THINGS DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.

Because if they’re selling these representations of their culture and being fairly compensated, you’re not appropriating, you’re appreciating. And helping good folks make a living while you’re at it.

Everybody wins.

[sinistershit]

^^^this is the difference. participate in the parts of culture that people CONSENT to sharing!! it’s that simple, if you buy directly from the source, they are creating with the idea that people outside the culture will be consuming, and can pick and choose what they are okay with you having. 

the same idea as wearing traditional dress that someone of that culture gave you as a present vs. buying a knockoff version for “fashion”

[notallfay]

I’ve used this argument for a long time as a difference between appropriation and appreciation. If you are buying directly from the people of that culture you are supporting them in keeping certain practices and talents alive. They are choosing what they share while making a living from their work. You are supporting them, while enjoying their culture. This is not only okay but it can really help people from these communities.

With appropriation, you are taking money away from the people. While mocking everything they stand for, and giving money to big companies who only care about profit, and have no understanding of the people they are stealing from.

Now, there was a voice Lisa hadn’t heard in a very long time. The blood slick knife dropped from her red coated hand, clattering to the ground. Whipping around, she saw a face that haunted her dreams. “Mom,” shock and confusion coloring her voice. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Her mother was dead, that was what this whole problem was. She was doing this for her.  Lisa took a step forward as if to embrace her, but halted. She took a quick look down at herself, making a face. Innards clung to her clothes and pieces of the man’s skin were dropping off of her. If she recalled, she put one of his fingers in her pocket after telling him that she was keeping it as a trophy (she wasn’t). “This-listen. Wow, holy shit I can’t believe you’re…no listen. This has to wait. I have to finish something but I’ll explain everything ok? Just…holy shit, I can’t believe this.” Joy, fear, and rage all colliding inside of her and Lisa was having a hard time pinning down which one she wanted to focus on.  

you can't be a mother without your CHILDREN. it's a fucking bitter thing, but it's the truth isn't it? it's not the first time the thought has crossed her mind like a statement, FRESHLY PRINTED for headlines, as if it's an announcement. maria's never been good with children; she's pretty sure they love frank more. the nights where she was the most bitter, all alone in her two-person bed, she told herself she only loved frank because he gave her THEM.

( he practices his SHITTY GUITAR playing outside under the shade of a park tree, where anyone can see him. failure comes not as a fatal hit but a constructive criticism, the vulnerability of learning - do teachers love each student? if so, frank - wherever he is now - must absolutely adore lisa. )

she knows this. she knows this. she knows he loves his baby girl. loved. they're all dead now.

❝ young lady! ❞ maria cries out at the second curse, also for the audacity of FINISHING SOMETHING when she's covered in blood like this.  ❝ god, you are just like━ ❞ she cuts herself off, unable to speak ILL of the DEAD ━ or rather, the dead to her. she can’t send her little girl, her eldest, to that same grave that she shoved her husband into.

@liisacastle liked for a starter !

her  ghosts  are  like  hearts  and  knives  all  at  once,  commanding  blood  to  their  will.  they  summon  blood.  they’re  covered  with  insides.  she’s  seen  the  news;  her  man  is  on  the  front  page  of  every  paper  with  that  damned  skull  on  his  chest  ━  insides  covering  the  outside  ━  and  she’d  thought  it  was  just  the  two  of  them  left,  living  on  the  fringes  of  their  city,  unable  to  enter  the  walls  that  sheltered  them  and  their  children.  their  house  was  ash.  FRANK  had  done  that.  coated  himself  in  blood  and  guts  and  bones  to  keep  away  the  winter  chill.

and  lisa ━  

she’d  always  looked  like  her  father  to  maria.

❝  what is this?  ❞  she  asks,  her voice  scraping  her  throat  a  little  as  it  comes  out,  like  painting  the  sound  of  her  with  the  inside  of  her  neck.  she  trembles  as  her hands  fist  at  her  sides,  and  she  spits  out  viciously,  ❝  what  the  hell  is  this,  lisa?  ❞
