i have a lot of thoughts on soundman as an indigenous person myself but i dont really feel comfortable voicing them knowing how racist most fandom spaces are which is a shame
im sorta self conscious about my writing not bc i think its bad but because people are just so weird and judgemental and entitled about writing in a way they arent with fanart and it stresses me out 💔
the part where soundman tells johnny his name and johnny refuses to use it really hit for me having studied my local language and understanding deeper how colonialism effected languages and names. i wish there was more discussion around it overall but thats fandom for you
my general opinion is overall positive especially for the time period it was written (sbr started before undrip was even a thing). considering most non-natives steal stories like its their fucking job to (cough wendigos and sasquatchs)
If you think a character in your ship bottoms because they like penetration and not because of a convoluted gender role reading they kill you with rocks
the worst part is it doesnt bother my carpal tunnel at all bc its painting but it does hurt my damn back bc i am built out of cardboard and have terrible posture. sigh
ive been painting squares for 3 hours and i think im starting to lose it. and i have ANOTHER SQUARE PAINTING ASSIGNMENT LATER ON. AND A LINE PAINTING ONE. im going to challenge my prof to a duel
