when Bella said “You’re just warm. You’re like your own sun.” and Jacob replied “You know, the thing about the sun is that it’s always there. Like sometimes you can’t see it, but it never really goes away. I’ll always be here for you.”

and when Bella said “You’re not getting rid of me.” and Jacob said “Sometimes, I feel like I’m gonna disappear.” and Bella replied “Not that you need me to tell you this, but I always will: you’re not gonna lose yourself. I wouldn’t let that happen. I’ll tell you all the time, how special you are.”

and when Jacob said “I’m exactly right for you, Bella. It would have been effortless for us—comfortable, as easy as breathing. I was the natural path your life would have taken… if the world was the way it was supposed to be, if there were no monsters and no magic.” and when Jacob said “I’ll always be waiting.” and Bella replied “Until my heart stops beating?” and he replied “Maybe even then.”

and when Jacob said “You think I’d be used to telling you goodbye by now. This is how I’m gonna remember you: pink cheeks, two left feet, heartbeat.”

Hi, I read the tags on your latest post and was wondering if you have another blog you post to? I've enjoyed your comics and artstyle and would love to keep up with your work, whatever fandom you might be more interested in now.

(Sorry if you've mentioned this somewhere on this blog and I just didn't notice.)

Hi hi!! That's so sweet of you to ask!!

I post on @hannahyonana in the daytime and @hanyonan for not art. I am a little loca and also have a separate inspo account @gromitsmut (ignore the name)

Would you ever consider selling any of your twilight stuff on Etsy? Your comics make me so happy and I can only imagine the adorable merch you would create <3

Twilight is legally copyrighted, and I don't think I could sell any merch for personal profit in good faith. There's tons of good stuff out there already, though!

Anyway.

For those of you aren't aware and aren't involved in NDN circles, the Supreme Court just declared that tribal territories and reservations are part of states and are under state jurisdiction, including in regards to charging someone and putting them on trial in state courts for crimes related to the tribe (as opposed to this being left up to tribal courts), undoing decades of precedent for the separation of tribal and state governments.

In a few months, the Supreme Court is also going to be giving a verdict on whether or not the Indian Child Welfare Act, the only thing keeping indigenous children with their families and communities instead of being "adopted" (trafficked) to white Christian families at every chance, is unconstitutional. This act is also dependent on the belief that tribes are sovereign nations and that giving our children to people outside of our tribes is akin to the US government taking Canadian children in the Canadian foster system and trying to adopt them out to American families.

If the ICWA falls, we're going to see a modern Sixties Scoop, with Native children being stolen from their tribes and families and cultures and assimilated into white Christian society. This is not only traumatizing for the children and their families, it's also a form of cultural genocide that has been used against us before and has devastating effects.

There are family members I never knew because they disappeared into the foster system as children.

This is the beginning of what's going to be wave after wave of attacks on indigenous sovereignty and tribal governance. The Supreme Court, even with a Democratic majority, has historically decided against upholding indigenous sovereignty and tribal protection. We're seeing genocide and forced assimilation become federal policy again.

Why is the right suddenly interested in Native American adoption law? | Nick Estes

A 1978 law tried to remedy adoption practices created to forcibly assimilate Native children. Now conservative lawyers are arguing that the law constitutes ‘reverse racism’

[priscellie]

This is a major cause for alarm, and I’m not seeing much news about it yet on my feeds. The Supreme Court will hear several cases regarding the Indian Child Welfare Act in their October 2022 term (Texas v. Haaland, Brackeen v. Haaland, Cherokee Nation v. Brackeen, and Haaland v. Brackeen), and the outcome(s) could clear the way for the destruction of Native families, land, and tribal sovereignty.

hey!!! have you ever wanted to watch an actual Quileute elder talk about Quileute culture, language, and tradition? (as well as his family history, the damage Twilight has done, climate change, and so much more?)

trick question. this is an intervention. even if you’ve never wanted that, you do now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmfbQRclFf8

this is a video of Chris Morganroth, a Quileute elder, canoe-builder, language teacher, and a fantastic storyteller. he is wearing a shirt covered in pictures of wolves: his cousin made it for him! this is a recording of a 2012 speech at the Smithsonian. it is about an hour long. it is so worth it.

(big thanks to @twilightphasepodcast, who cited this as a resource in their latest episode, which was how i found it!)

It’s been done before but you know how it is
