"tribalism" "your need for a tribe" just say in-group. ingroup. its so easy. in-group out-group mentality. you dont have to use such a loaded word. you dont have to bring a word used to paint indigenous settlements and cultures as Primitive and Animalistic. come on now. in-group. in-group.
#Nothing to apologize for my friend; thank you for the context this isn't something I've seen before so it's interesting to hear#That being said I do not consider you a colonizer just because you are white#Unless you are like; specifically marching on the land we have or if you're supporting the genocide of our people; which you know...#given this post and what you're saying here I hardly believe that to be the case so for what it's worth#I wouldn't necessarily say you're a white colonizer#I always feel bad when people apologize for being white or call themselves a colonizer because it's like; it's literally not your fault#I couldn't control being born a Lakota native anymore than anyone else can control being born white.#I don't think that makes someone a colonizer you know? Now sure if they are part of the people who are literally still to this day#killing our people and marching on our land with the military to take it by force? Then sure those people are colonizers#but I don't think anyone who is willing to stand up for indigenous people is necessarily a colonizer#but sorry I don't mean to get hung up on that or anything#It wasn't really my intention to challenge you or anything I just didn't have an understanding of what the context was#anyways I'm rambling but you're cool with me don't worry#sorry if I sounded like I was disagreeing with the post or something

My friend, I could never mind you yapping. I welcome the yapping in fact.
I also love the commerce bit because yes, I LOVE picking up bounty quests to help people get their ducats back. It's really cool to me that even though someone got their stuff stolen who knows how long ago; and might not even be online. I'm able to go out there as a total stranger and help recover the stuff just, because.
I think there's something genuinely cool about how interconnected Mabinogi feels as a whole. I often feel like the actions I take, even in some small way; effect those around me whether they or I are immediately aware of it. Which, when combined with the whole aspect of how personalized you can really customize your character in Mabi; really emphasizes a feeling of each person bringing their own something to the game.
I often do run commerce routes with newer players, especially when I'm bounty hunting; just to help keep them safe and meet some new people. It's fun to get involved with what other people might be doing, and I've had others do the same for me when I was new.
Sometimes I catch myself thinking about trade skills in fantasy, about them being an extension of the self.
The sword and shield forged from the finest ores your friend could mine, laboring away to craft you armaments in the hopes they keep you safe. Wielding them in combat becoming a projection of your friend's efforts, protecting you even when they're not in the party.
Your clothing may not be unique in its appearance, the pattern is mass produced; and yet yours is special. It bears the signature of your close friend and you can see in it's quality the care they put into it.
Your potions, hand crafted from the herb garden your partner planted and grew. You can still remember picking those herbs teaching your fellow apothecaries about each of the distinct properties.
This does absolutely apply to real life crafts as well of course. However I am in fact directly talking about, you guessed it; Mabinogi.
The crafting system being so involved, and the crafted gear having upgraded stats, both turn more conventional crafting systems into something more special. When my friend cooks me a meal before I venture out to a dungeon I know full well the effort that went into it. Not only are they willing to spend the resources on me, but I know how hard those items may have been to get in the first place.
When I run a dungeon solo, wielding weapons and armor that were given to me by my fellow guildmates; I often find myself thinking about how it is thanks to their efforts I am strong enough to clear the content.
It takes a kinda goofy concept like the power of friendship and turns it into the materialization of said friendship. I am in fact strong because of my friends, but not because of some magic powers of believing in me. Rather I'm powerful because they saw it worth while to take the time, put in the work; and make me quality gear.
It's why I devote so much time to trade skills in Mabi. Because I can't always be around for my friends, but I can always give them a small piece of me to keep them safe when I'm not around.

#As a Lakota Native this is a little confusing because I always refer to my found family as my tribe#but I guess I grew up with a different meaning to it or something?#I have never heard people talk like that and I have no context for it outside of when I hear tribe brought up to like... you know#mean ''hey what tribe are you from?'' and such#which is fair because yea I'd rather someone call me Lakota/Lakota Washo than Native American/Indigenous/Indian#Though I always hear white people use ''spirit animal'' and I want to strangle someone for that so ya know#but hey I'm glad someone's actually speaking up on Indigenous issues even if I'm not aware of them because man#no one ever talks about indigenous stuff

#This is the true difference between X and A if I'm being real.#No I will not explain you either understand my vision or you do not and either way is honestly fine

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.
#Considering the time I talked about needing money on here I was told to ''stop begging and get a job and it wouldn't be a problem''#despite A. not begging and B. literally saying that I am disabled and cannot work...#yea I do think generally speaking people do piss on the poor here#but also this is a classic post and I quote it all the time to mean ''you didn't understand/read that properly''#If I ever tell you that you're ''pissing on the poor here'' that's what I mean

look all i'm saying is if you've ever seen someone be healed with magic, congratulations! you've witnessed a practitioner of necromancy. it's the exact same thing. all you're doing at a fundamental level is using magic to accelerate existing biological processes and animate tissue, the only difference is when you do it to dead tissue instead of living tissue, suddenly it's evil scary ~dark magic~ instead of good wholesome healing. it's purely cultural bias.
so no i don't think it's fair to say i "lied on my application" since i'm just as qualified as anyone to heal your party, but hey if you want to be a fucking narc and report me to the wizard council go right ahead. good luck finding an accredited healer at the wages you're offering by the way

i hate australian people they need a dumb fucking nickname for every single word. can’t even get in a car accident without some australian asshole coming up to you and saying “oh gotcha self in a carblammy there aintcha mate” kill yourself and go to hell
#aye mate no need to be so hostile maybe ya need to grab some maccas to calm ya down; my shout#fun fact my favorite dj is Australian and when I was a teen I was essentially a weeb for Australia#so I ended up meeting a bunch of Aussie ravers and picking up their slang#and to this day I know a ton of them and even more of their slang#I have a lot of love for Australia and it's people

I cannot tell you how many insanely skilled individuals there are out there who would be big time content creators; but they've never been put in front of an audience who will notice them.
I know people who, if some big company like hololive/holostars picked them up and put them in front of viewers; and slapped a brand label on them; would be so popular it's not even funny.
They stream for like 3 viewers, and that's criminal to me.
I know people who, if their work was published as a manga; would have fan art made of their characters and the stories they depict.
They run web comics for like 10 readers, and that's criminal to me.
I know people who, prior to being promoted by a big name brand; couldn't get their music off the ground at all. Only to watch them skyrocket and be invited out to major raves and parties to DJ after the fact.
Now they produce music that sells out in minutes, and that is the success I wish all my friends could find.
