What tv shows or movies do you think represent harsh topics like discrimination, war and mental health?
Welcome to Wilderment, a place all your child like dreams and desires can come true. Help us grow and face many challenges from the oppression of government, to the need to free one’s mind of its own cruel grasp. Bring yourself though the dark crepes of life with the use of the folk music scattered across this ancient world
I hope to one day make this an animated tv show, but to do that I will need your help❤️. I want this show to be fun and give the same feeling that Keath Ósk has for their community. I would love to add a musical aspect of folk music and have regional variations for each area (country) on the map that take inspiration from real world folk songs, from: (these are areas of the top of my head) Angelo-Saxon, Nordic, Native American, and many more from different regions from all over the world (if you know one, please tell me the song and the country and people of origin). But also I want this show to tackle hard themes and bring to light real experiences in a good way that actually represents people. But I cannot do that alone, I’ll need your experiences and stories. As well as your perspective on how a story can actually show the effects of these harsh themes. I can only give so many experiences like mental health, growing up in and out of hospital, being lgbt, etc. but some themes I cannot tackle like racism, i have never faced hard discrimination for it as I am white and privileged in that sense so I need other peoples experiences of every race to help me understand this perspective and create characters and narrative that can highlife these struggles in a way that connects people and makes them feel heard. I know that’s experiences I like to connect with in my struggles so I can imagine for racial injustice seeing the idea of rising up and trying to fight for a better life would also be connecting
My idea for this part of the show would have 2 countries with group A (light skinned fish people) and group B (the darker skinned fish people). Their character designs try to grab at the condition vitiligo in a much simplified sense of patches (it makes it easier to animate but if this is a problem then I’d love suggestions on how to do it better) as well as these glow with music to push the idea that music runs deep in people’s lives (especially with trauma and escapism). Group A will be shown as a tyrannical government that spreads propaganda about group B to give fear to their people and make them racist, while also portraying themselves as the victims and good guys to the rest of the world. This gives war to group B’s country as it gets plunged into poverty, destruction and danger. The first main character will be a child called Mira, we will see her first run really young on a battle field to try flee but get knocked out, before following a teenage version of a masked Mira, hardened and emotionally disconnected. She will then stubble on a member of group A impaled to a tree, this character will be racist but she will be heavily reliant on Mira and eventually help them to break down the racist conventions of their countries and live peacefully (maybe they eventually fall in love, idk). But the idea is to show hardship and then growth to tell people in the real world, you may have been taught this thing but it’s wrong and you can still change for the better
Some of the themes I want to include are: racism, homophobia, poor mental health, tyrannical governments, religious power and freedom, native oppression and many more I have not yet thought of.

Jokipakka saa Cupin pelkällä katsomokomennuksella. (Ei pelaa AHL:n puolella)

en kyllä itekään muistanu että jyrki oli tonne ottawaan siirtyny :D liian monta suomalaista et muistais kaikkien touhuja seurata. löysin kyllä jonkun jutun missä sanottiin että se olis katsomoon joutunu, eli en oo ihan varma onko sittenkää siellä farmissa. ainaki näkyy vielä senatorsin rosterissa mutta mistäpä sitä tietää miten niitä päivitetään.mäki toivon kyllä että pekan tai ollin mukana se cup tänne pääsis :)
No niin, eli Suomessa sit käy joka tapauksessa! Nimeä ei varmastikaan saa kaiverretuksi, ellei rooli muutu olennaisesti.
Onpas kyllä jännää. Tänä vuonna toivon edelleen, että Pens voittaa, mut jos ei, niin Preds ei tunnu todellakaan kyllä yhtään laihalta lohdulta. Ottawa on ihan jees ja vähän yllättävä IMHO, ja sit taas Ducks ei herätä mussa mitään suuria antipatioita ainakaan, et ei jää vituttaan ihan hirveästi, jos ne sen vie. (Kuuluisia viimeisiä sanoja, katsotaan niin kuitenkin vietän kesäni heitellen tikkaa Keslerin tai Karlssonin kuva maalitauluna :D Toivottavasti ei, inhokkijoukkueet vie vähintään yhtä paljon energiaa kuin suosikitkin...)
@wilderment replied to your post: I had completely forgotten that Jokipakka is...
mut eiks jyrki pelaa ahl:ssä? mun käsittääkseni ainaki, koska ei se oo näissä pudotuspeleissä vielä pelannu
Joo, totta tosiaan, näinpäs on. En oo seurannut sen menoa nyt yhtään, en ees muistanut todellakaan, että siirtyi tonne, saati sit et meni NHL:ään :D En tiedä mikä käytäntö kuppipäivissä on, jos pelattu ei joukkueen kanssa juuri ole. Näköjään sillä on kolme normikauden peliä pelattuna, et on se edes pikkuisen osallistunut :) (Luulis, et kun se kuiten Ruotsissa sit Ottawan voittaessa kävis, niin samalla reissulla sit Suomessakin...)
Toivon nyt joka tapauksessa, että SC tulee nyt Ollin tai sitten tokana parhaana vaihtoehtona Pekan kanssa kesällä käymään, ei varmaan yllätä :D

Holy shit that hair color is fabulous! I love it so much, wow. Definitely rest up though, and hold on to the good things (like your awesome hair) to help tackle the harder ones <3
@solithos replied to your post “Personal stuff once again, sorry guys![[MOR] To start with: thanks...”
Your hair looks amazing!!

ihanat hiukset! elämän pieniä iloja :) voimia sulle ♥

Man your hair looks so baller! I also know the very great effect of dying your hair to cheer you up. Also I hope you feel better soon and get some mental and bodily rest. *hug*
Thank you lovelies, kiitos ihanat! I love the hair so much. I was thinking at first that what’s the point of refreshing the colour if I almost never manage to leave home in my hermit depression stage and no one else ever sees it. Then I realised that that makes no sense: I see it, it makes me happy, and isn’t that the most important thing? Silly head, keeps on forgetting.
(Well, and you guys just saw it, haha. It was the first sort-of-an-selfie I’ve ever posted after 15 months of blogging, yay!)
Interesting fact time! I have sectoral heterochromia meaning my eyes are green but I have a brown spot in my right eye. Probs the most interesting thing about me tbh, or at least something everyone notices first
yo that’s so cool????? omg
interesting fact: i can’t wear contacts bc my eyes are too sensitive. half the time they can’t even get the puff of air in to test pressure so they have to give me numbing eyedrops (which also take forever to go in) and then, like, touch my eyeball
tell me an interesting fact about yourself
@wilderment replied to your post: Hei, voitko kertoo miten katot noita nhl pelejä?...
Kiitti :) pitää varmaan joo kokeilla. Oliko sulla se 29,90 vai 34,90 paketti, koska mun mielestä niissä ei ollu mitään eroa tai sit en vaa tajunnu
Toi halvempi on mulla. Kalliimmassa on kai jotenkin laajempi siellä viihdepuolelle valikoima, leffoja lisänä? Täytyy myöntää, että en oo ees kattonut kuukausiin, et mitä sarjoja siellä Viaplayssa ois, pitäis ehkä :D Oli tarkoituksena ensin peruuttaa oma Netflix-tilaus ja siirtyä kokonaan Viaplaylle, ois vähän säästänyt sit rahaa, mut silloin alkuvuodesta ainakaan ei olleet yhtä hyvät sarjavalikoimat, ei vaan kannattanut luopua Netflixistä.
(Sama Maikkarin Katsomon kans, mulla oli niiden tilaus MM-kisojen ajan ja siihen ois kuulunut sarjoja ja muuta kans, mut ei ne kyllä kovin kummoisia olleet.)
