hey merry! i noticed you just started the show, so how're you liking dark winds so far?

I started and finished it in less than a week. suffice to say, I really enjoyed it! here's some quickfire thoughts (note: I'm Aboriginal/First Nations "Australian" so I'm speaking as a non-Native to the so called US) <3

Something I loved about it as an Indigenous person is that every character has a different relationship to their ceremony and cultural beliefs. You have Bern who's totally immersed, Joe who wants to but struggles because of his grief, and Jim who's skeptical af. I liked that so much because it's very real. at least in my family and community. Everyone's degree of belief is different for different reasons!!

Bern and Jim oh my FUCKING God. I was GIGGLING and KICKING MY FEET. a+ culturally specific slowburn. when he asked her about her tribe?? when she gave him the protection medicine? when he says there's nothing on the rez for him and she says "I'm here"? WHEN SHE LEAVES AND HE RETURNS THE PROTECTIVE JEWELLERY??? 🥹🥰🥹🥰

I preferred the first season to the second. I think it was shot better and had a better executed mystery. The cinematography in season one was so gorgeous. It had a very distinctive almost sunny yet gothic feel, but the second season was shot more conventionally. I hated the colour splash sequences.

Emma's sub-plot of helping other women avoid forced sterilisation was so awesome. Deserves its own show to be honest. That sequence where she tells the patient in Dineʼ (under the guise of translating for the white doc) that she should not have her baby in hospital because the white doctors will sterilise her? One of the best character intros I've ever seen, and I love how it tails off in season 2 with her agreeing to go public with what's happening.

I love Bern so MUCH. Jess Mattern is so GOOD. her encounters with the witch are CHILLING. Her pure dedication to her cultural beliefs is so inspiring. She's also one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen and I'm so gay. My only thing is......in WHAT universe is becoming a BORDER PATROL officer gonna mean you encounter LESS injustice. smh!!!

Kiowa Gordon as a 1970s suave FBI deserter turned hire out of a highway hotel private eye full of love for his community?? That's my dream gender!!!!!!! Also......it must be said....i need him.

Finally, even though I could tell Graham Roland and the writers made HUGE efforts to shift the white gaze of the novels Dark Winds was based on, there was just some moments/attitudes in the series that felt Off. maybe I'm over sensitive to copaganda idk but yeah there was just a little too much.......rampant individual American heroism and pro-cop/military stuff at times that made me roll my eyes as a non-usAmerican viewer

anyways, looking forward to having a reason to stay alive until 2025 (when season 3 comes out!)

  Seeing Princess and the Frog finally getting the...

people will remember alice and tinker bell (or even add anastasia) before they add tiana in those disney princess compilations

OH MY GOD, YES!

This pisses me off to no end.

I have seen people add Wendy, Tinkerbell, the princess from Black Cauldron, Sally from TNBC and Alice to fan art that is supposed to be featuring the Disney princess but they don’t add Tiana. Hell, they’ll sometimes just straight up only have Jasmine in the picture and forget Mulan and Pocahontas too.

I could legit rant about this for hours

nero-neptune replied to your post “Apparently it’s now Harry Potter canon that when two werewolves fuck...”

so what, the mom werewolf just stays a wolf for 9 months or does she switch back and forth, or is she mostly in human form just carrying a wolf baby in her fucking womb?

I looked it up and it was indeed a Pottermore addition, which I either never read or read some time ago and blocked from my mind because I wanna unread it now: 

One curious feature of the condition is that if two werewolves meet and mate at the full moon (a highly unlikely contingency which is known to have occurred only twice) the result of the mating will be wolf cubs which resemble true wolves in everything except their abnormally high intelligence. They are not more aggressive than normal wolves and do not single out humans for attack. Such a litter was once set free, under conditions of extreme secrecy, in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, with the kind permission of Albus Dumbledore. The cubs grew into beautiful and unusually intelligent wolves and some of them live there still, which has given rise to the stories about ‘werewolves’ in the Forest – stories none of the teachers, or the gamekeeper, has done much to dispel because keeping students out of the Forest is, in their view, highly desirable.

Dumbledore literally throws into the Forbidden Forest everything that he doesn’t know how to deal with properly much like Rowling does with Pottermore and this kind of content.

nero-neptune replied to your post: why do people on here want to be offended so...

Perhaps people are called homophobic slurs in real life and to have someone who is straight wearing a shirt with one of those homophobic slurs, maybe it hurts to see. Being offended isn’t just for superficial shit. Sometimes things just hurt and are shocking to see. But this is just tumblr being tumblr amirite lmaoo?

yeah, it is. she obviously meant it in a supportive way. to her the word means something positive. if people keep getting offended by the tiniest things, slurs will always stay slurs. how about we support the positive use of them to take away the bad meaning?? y’all gotta stop targeting real, vocal allies and start going after the actual homophobes, or else you’ll scare away allies. and if it really bothers you so much, contact her on twitter instead of making 309248 posts about how dua lipa is cancelled. it’s not that hard.
