Forgot to follow up on this, I’m not Indigenous but I’m Black and Puerto Rican and my Sister and I have a rant sesh every couple months about Honest Hearts bc we hate it.

It portrays Indigenous People as Fragile, tender little babies who need a strong White MORMAN to protect them. It’s a fun story to play, but Fuck is it racist man.

Don’t even get me started on mormonism dawg

I’ve been seeing a lot of hate recently so I love you he/him butches, love you butch transfemmes, love you feminine transmascs, love you non-androgynous enbies going either way (or both ways at once), love you queer people of color (my bf!) in general because you get overlooked and dismissed in your identity so often, love you intersex people of all types (myself), love you stone butches and pillow princesses, love you kinky queers, love you polysexual labels of all types, love you people with micro labels (me again, androsexual) love you people with no labels, and everyone else that doesn’t try to appeal to a normative lens on love and sex and identity.

i can tell i’m sleep deprived bc i just made myself cry about tutankhamun and i have, like, negative interest in the kid

[somecunttookmyurl]

have now made the rest of the discord cry about this little boy who had multi-coloured ducks sewn onto a tunic that he loved so much he wore it to a Very Important Event because he was EIGHT and have you SEEN my DUCKS

[somecunttookmyurl]

sorry no i’m not done i’m gonna make you all cry some more i’m bringing you down with me

there was once a little boy.

he is born disabled. his body hurts, and he can’t walk properly the way the other children do. he doesn’t understand why. he’s a little boy. but he plays with wooden boats and pulls toys on a string.

somebody makes him a tunic. they sew ducks onto it in red and green and yellow and blue. the bright colours of a child.

the little boy is eight years old, and he’s going to be king now. there’s a big ceremony about it. he doesn’t really fully understand what’s going on, because he’s eight, but he wears the tunic with the brightly coloured ducks for the occasion because he loves it. look at his ducks! aren’t they great?

he is a child. the adults around him manipulate and coax him to gain more power for themselves. he still plays with toys.

as a teenager, not yet an adult, he fathers children. they do not survive. he’s not even old enough to have full agency in his job and is still being manipulated, but he had babies and they died.

he does not make it to his twenties. at eighteen or nineteen years old he dies, and is buried. his babies, so tiny, are buried with him.

and so is his tunic with the little ducks that he loved so much he kept it long after it no longer fit.

there was once a little boy.

[somecunttookmyurl]

yeah i think that like. especially with historical figures in your mind people who were kings and queens or important nobles were adults. even if you know how old they were it doesn’t really click. it doesn’t seem real

but then you get something like a little tunic with brightly coloured ducks on it and it hits you like a fucking truck that this really was a little kid and no matter how far removed you are a little kid is still a little kid. their brains didn’t develop any quicker back then. he was just as developed/mature mentally as any 8 year old now. he had cartoonish animals on his clothes and he played with toy boats and probably terrorised the local cat population.

tutankhamun was a child and he didn’t make it to adulthood because he was unfortunate enough to be a very important child

his dad died when he was 8. he saw his own babies die when he was still just a boy himself.

but he had brightly coloured little ducks on his favourite shirt, and he kept it.

[somecunttookmyurl]

and he did not just keep the duckie shirt either

tutankhamun had a little pair of sandals with ducks on them. he had earrings decorated with ducks. he kept those, and other items of childhood clothing. some toys. keepsakes. things he loved, and treasured. he kept them all in a little wooden chest. the chest… was carved with ducks.

and that little duck chest, filled with things he kept from his childhood, was buried with him. maybe he was keeping them for the little babies who did not make it. maybe they just reminded him of good days and fun times.

but he was a little boy who thought ducks were just the best

WITH PLEASURE

(greyscale makes it hard but the duck head is on the right above the toe strap. always takes me a while to find it too)

Ok but this is how to teach history. This is how you get people to pay attention, to care. Find something small and make it personal, then zoom out to the wider context. History is best taught as a story, with people who lived their lives in ways that came together to create something remarkable that we still talk about today, but who were still just human at the end of the day. They kissed, argued, cried, and dreamed just like we do. And sometimes they really liked ducks.

*runs up and wraps an arm around yours*

‘Omg! Fox, I haven’t seen you around these parts of Freeside in years!! No way you came just for me! ‘

*Tanker grins ear to ear, showing off their gapped teeth and hiding their eyes behind wind whipped cheeks*

@tin-taker 🦐

...I...

He looks momentarily taken aback at the sudden embrace, before speaking a bit awkwardly.

Hello...I don't particularly enjoy going through Freeside is why.

He says stiffly, shrugging.

[tin-taker]

*A soft glimmer builds behind their dark eyes*

C’mon Fox, loosen up!!

*they pat his shoulder roughly*

[notalegionspy]

i thought legionnaire was the term for the french legion, and legionary was correct. i confused 🤕

Legionnaire is a term that the French once used, though the language is rooted in Latin, which many of the soldiers are fluent in. The terms "legionary" and "legionnaire" are interchangeable.

[tin-taker]

Legionnaire is actually for the girls and legionary for the femboys. He’s lyin’ to yall to save face, I met Caesar (kai-sar) and he told me hisself

REST IN POWER DIAMOND “Mable” SANCHEZ-McCRAY <3

I haven’t seen anyone on here talk about her murder but maybe that’s because I don’t follow a lot of people. Regardless, I just don’t want her death to be erased or forgotten. There’s of course nothing that can be said to quantify the weight and gravity of her loss and I’m praying for her beloved family and friends.
