#And falling in love with Bullfrog for maybe the wrong reasons

[djsherriff-responses]

i hope people don't mind shitposts for now, because once I've read the yaoi manga it's over for you Laserfrog shippers

[banavalope]

I love all of your troll ocs! I was wondering if you ever thought of making some more?? :0

you fool. you absolute buffoon. these are my activation words.

honestly i actually have like… two seadwellers i never talked about because years ago i never bothered to flesh them out. I’ve also got kidcestors for The Gang that i love to bits and also have never talked about much, and i’d love to make more bc its just… so fun and customizable.

Anyway bold and foolish of you to make the mistake of asking this expecting me to not doodle & talk about eight individual fantrolls so here’s all of that cool information under a nifty little read more

please look at my good kids:

Ulyxes Romeda’s a violet blood and almost 8 sweeps old. This right here’s a sweet boy, he loves muscle theater and ancient battle history involving heroes that were probably fake but they were REALLY heroic and that’s!!! What he loves!!!!! He’s adventurous and positive, the kind of guy with an infectious happy attitude, people typically get along with Ulyxes and feel safe around him. He’s definitely not okay with the power structure on Alternia and WANTS to lead a revolution, he’s got the fire in him to change the way things are around him, but he’s dense, and not a big details kind of person so he’s not really gonna be a Leader anytime soon, but a bold hero in a blaze of glory in some way, probably absolutely.

This boi loves to rough house, he luv gettin into scraps with things BIGGER and STRONGER than him!! He’s so strong, he hasn’t found a big scary thing yet that he wasn’t able to toss. Good child. One of his hopes is to fight with Audrit to see which one of them is stronger, he holds Aud in high regard. Audrit thinks Ulyxes is really… fucking dumb, but the guy is nice and a great hand when you need one so, like, who’s he to judge.

His quirk is pretty uncreative, he “T4lks with gre4t 2e4l! =:D” replacing Z’s and A’s with 2’s and 4’s, and overusing emotes bc he’s an expressive boy.

His title is the Prince of Doom and his lusus is a bullfrog, a frog with a bullshark’s head and gills.

Calgia Atlais is either a violet blood or, if you have fun good times like I do and roll hard in your life, a fuschia blood and an heiress in line for the throne. She’s Ulyxes best friend and Audrit’s FLARP partner. Callie has a problem with being misunderstood in her intentions by people, the way she words things oftentimes denotes the wrong connotations. Maybe it’s because of her high social status, people just go into conversation with her expecting a superior and cold attitude that they just allow it to be their assumption of her without thinking any deeper into it. She gets frustrated easily by it, but she doesn’t have this problem with Ulyxes or Audrit though.

She’s got a heavy belief and investment in witchcraft and practices a sort of mix and match of wicca. Callie casts incantations and makes potions for the protection of her friends - especially Ulyxes with his rebellious attitude that’s dangerous to have - though whether her “spells” really DO anything is questionable. The results always vary, but she’s pretty sure she’s doing something good.

Arpegi particularly can’t stand Cal, because she’s got it in her head that Callie is trying to “steal” Ulyxes away from her - RP is convinced he’s supposed to be the Prince that saves her :Y - but the unfortunate thing is Callie has a huge flushcrush on Arpegi, and she really can’t seem to just tell her how she actually feels.

She “whisp3rs in the 14ngu4g3 0f th3 f0rg0tt3n c0v3n” by which I mean, the assigned asteroid numbers of Pluto, 134340.

Her title is Witch of Rage and her lusus - depending on what you subscribe to with fuchsias - is a clobster. a crab lobster with lots of claws that it fucking punches with.

*wrings my little hands* And then there’s dancestors…….. hueheueuhe

Artmis “But my friends call me Arttie” Mazdak is my fucking hero and I love him so much. God. He’s 9 sweeps old and grew up on an island with a small community of other islanders of varying bloodcasts and he dreamed of being out at sea, exploring a world he literally knows nothing about. He’s really dorky, for someone so charismatic and seemingly sure of himself he’s got some shakey self esteem and suffers sometimes in putting real faith in himself. Arttie and Audrit are a lot alike in their code of conduct, if they aren’t anything alike in personality: he has deep and unfaltering loyalty to his friends, isn’t one to question someones close held beliefs, and will without a doubt go to any means or lay down his own life for the greater good. Eyes on the prize for the benefit of others. The Mazdak boys are all about truth, justice,,,, and zestiness…….

Arttie builds boats hoping to get off his boring ass island and go be a real adventurer, he knows everything there is to know about navigation and always seems to find the best route to take even when he’s lost as shit, though “best” doesn’t always mean “right”, he got himself stranded once in the middle of the sea, but he met his flushcrush that way so WORKED OUT FOR HIM :Y

Anyway Art’s quirk is sort of particular compared to everyone’s. Basically though, he’s “Not tryin to brag or nofin> but ain’t nobody as exshiptional at knowin directions as him> an he’d be happy to kelp if he can*” this boy loves nautical wordplay and has an accent that makes him sound stupid (hes not stupid).

Jesus christ I love Arttie, i dont care that trolls dont have families he’s audrit’s big fucking brother and they love each other so much and hes so proud of his liTTLE BRO. ARGH.

His title is Mage of Hope and his Alternian counterpart is the Awakened Stargate, a famous historical figure who helped make important progress with intergalactic travel and laid the foundation for ethical “debates”, aka philoseviscery AKA “if your opinion is majority voted as bullshit you die”. He was secretly a passionate revolutionist and used his high social status to liberate lowblooded prisoners to freedom, taking them and himself to an unknown galaxy via an advanced starship he built. a legend as a boy and a man.

Fionah Trebol is Artmis’ kismesis, she’s 8 sweeps and a very trim and proper lady. Her soul dedication is in being a Tutor of Etiquette, she’s got no sense of humor and finds everything about Arttie to be a personal offense to everything she stands for. Disgusting.

Fionah is a stickler for rules and regulation, she keeps a tight schedule that seems to make everything around her bend to her will and keep to her rhythm. Things cower before her unreadable aura, which she loves, but Artmis doesn’t, which she hates.

She’s a private person in her beliefs, but she has some pretty strong ones. Religeon is a touchy topic and it would be rude manners to discuss it so openly, is her stance on the matter. Nobody bothers.

A cool fact: she has a trick weapon in the form of the strife specibus “hairclipkind”, she has a clip for the band at the end of her braid that turns into an axehead, and she wails it around like a flying guillotine. When you need some tough love.

She “~speaks QUITE LOUDLY and with a GR& SENSE OF &UTHORITY~ even if it RE&LLY ISN’T NECESS&RY~”. So she basically emphasizes her sentences where she doesn’t need to and replaces capital A’s (or “and” sounds) with &, all punctuation with ~’s

Her title’s Bard of Breath and her Alternian counterpart is the Lyricist, damned to a lifetime locked away in a sky high prison because her hypnotic voice would draw seadwellers to land where marauders would then jump them.

Kertez “Kurtis” Romeda is also my favorite child??? Next to Artmis???? He’s also 9 sweeps and is just. A Moron. He’s sporty, kind of like a typical jock hangin out with THE BOYS. Ruff about his turf, likes to surf, is a jerk. Kurt is extremely nihilistic and kind of rude, he’s spoiled so he sees himself as being above everyone else, even people in his own caste, but he’s private about his superiority complex which is… not better, but I guess he at least keeps it to himself? It certainly shows but he doesn’t rub his high opinion on himself in the face of others, not actively anyway.

Kertez is the reason Arttie got out of a bad situation, when Art stranded himself Kurt ended up finding him and helped him back to shore (degrading him the whole way). He REALLY thinks Art is out of his fucking mind and also thinks the nautical puns are lame, but he’s got a big gay secret crush on him anyway the fucking idiot. He’s so enamoured, his type is thick and cheesy.Artmis has gotten all their friends to think Kertez’s name is Kurtis because he heard him wrong when they met, and Kertez just… never corrected him.

He’s “4 little le22 enthu2i42tic 4bout being here, if you*re hone2tly wondering.”

He’s an Heir of Doom and his Alternian counterpart is the Achillan Watchman, who was in charge of guarding the Lyricist specifically. He disagreed with the Empress and in conjunction with the Stargate, helped free the Lyricist and thousands of other prisoners at the expense of his own life and reputation. He took the fall for the Stargate so his work wouldnt be wiped from history due to the betrayal.

Etheus and Isyfus Appate are younger, they’re like 7.5 sweeps, and unlike their descendants they aren’t attached at the horn, but they did hatch from the same egg and regard each other as two halves of the same whole person. Etheus acts as the mind and Isyfus takes over matters of the heart. He’s also the eyes of the operation, because Etheus was born blind.

They use their psychic abilities to help people struggling emotionally and are much kinder than their counterparts. They both offer phenomenal advice to due with personal growth and finding your inner self. Etheus and Isyfus claim they can commune with the past lives of an individual and doing so is part of their schtick.

On their own, Etheus doesn’t like to interact with anyone. They speak almost primarily through or with their brother, so doing so on their own is difficult and as a result they don’t have any close friends outside of Isyfus. They’re not extremely confident operating as a single unit, very much like their descendant. Out of selfishness, really, they don’t tell their brother that their spacial awareness is well enough that they can actually “"see”“ just fine without him.

Isyfus actually gets really exhausted operating as his other’s caretaker, he’s kind of a downer when he’s on his own and doesn’t have it in him to really give himself emotionally to anyone when he’s finally got time to himself to recharge. He’ll take long naps, either to try and get some energy back or to escape his other for a bit. He loves them, he really does, but it’s trying.

Etheus “doesn’t lyke takyng anyythyng from theyr brother yt myght make hym xpset”, and Isyfus “Ys happx to extend the same kyndness bx beyng juust as couurteous.” However “They both lYke to share, jUst when Yt reallY coUnts.”

Their titles are Maid of Space (Etheus) and Sylph of Time (Isyfus) and their Alternian counterparts were the Banyshed Apostyles - enslaved clairvoyants that predicted the coming of a prophet adopted in trust by the Empress’ higher court, using that trust to perform an act of Ultimate Betrayal. Their prediction wasn’t appreciated, so they were abandoned like garbage, and later down the line it was assumed the prophet was the Watchman.

LAAAAASTLY is Megera Atlais who is like, the least fleshed out of these losers because I like Calgia more than her lmao. A lot of her info is subject to change i think, but she’s 9 sweeps and very open and loud about her opinions and thoughts, so immediately everybody knows what she’s about. She loves juicy gossip and runs a cybernews blog about Big Internet Celebs for the express purpose of being a dickhead and spreading rumors.

She’s a nuisance to Kertez, they don’t get along very well but still stick to each other, she’s a lot like a little sister is to their older sibling. The only reason Kertez doesn’t just stop. Interacting with her, since she’s sort of toxic to his own sense of self worth, is because he knows at least a bit of her brash personality is all a front to keep people from picking on her relentlessly. She figures if she’s the first one to talk some shit then it makes her invincible to what anyone else says, and people will avoid getting on her bad side. It’s not great or healthy and Kurt feels pretty fucking sorry for her, but he ain’t her moirail so it’s not really his problem ykno.

Her quirk is to “talk mad shit o)+n anyo)+ne We want”, her O’s are replaced with o)+ and she uses royal We/Us (capitalized) in reference to herself instead of I’s and Me’s

Her title is Page of Rage and her Alternian counterpart was an Empress who lived hard and fast but not long, only long enough to have a solid reign of terror. She fucking hated lowbloods and wanted to keep them all in chains if she could, like most empresses so she wasn’t anyone special. She was dethroned after the Stargate rebellion destroyed her will and another heiress was able to take her life in her moment of weakness. She’s a very forgotten ruler.

anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Fibonacci ( yoongi x Jamie Park 15and )

Chapter 5

"Hyung , I want to ask her out." Taehyung says hesitantly and Yoongi peers at the boy. He's talking to Seokjin but all of them can hear. Namjoon looks like a swelling bullfrog while Hoseok looks completely flabbergasted. Jung Kook laughs nervously while Jimin looks ready to kill.

"I'm asking her out." Jimin says loudly and Yoongi finds the whole thing tiring and a bit annoying really.

"You guys do realize she isn't the only woman on the planet?" Seokjin says, the voice of reason in a room full of crazies. Yoongi thinks logic and reason are lost on Jimin and Taehyung. He knows that its stopped being about Jamie Park and is essentially two handsome boys with Ego's bigger than their fanbase, each unwilling to compromise. He thinks its a pity that Jamie Park is caught in the middle. She seems like a nice girl and certainly doesn't deserve these two bloodhounds on her trail.

"It's all immaterial. she's underage. No one's asking her out." Rapmon says firmly. Yoongi blinks. Wow, was she underage? He'd assumed she was twenty one at least.

"How old is she?" He finally asks when no one says anything.

"Nineteen." Both Jimin and Taehyung answer at the same time and it would all be so hilarious if Yoongi weren't sure that this might mess things up for the group.

"Both of you should get over her and move on. Don't screw things up for the rest of us because you're too pigheaded to face reality." Yoongi says firmly and Taehyung looks angry .

"Some of us have actual feelings hyung." He says with a glare and Yoongi is slightly taken aback. He wants to defend himself. He does have feelings. He just prefers pouring them out in the form of chart-topping songs rather than on his bandmates. But he understands that Taehyung may have a point. Yoongi doesn't really believe in rosy emotions or the true-love's kiss. His idea of love is acceptance and interest in each other. And maybe a little sexual chemistry to keep things interesting.  

"Personally, I think it's a little complicated. You're talking about an underage girl who happens to be a solo artist. She's really talented and honestly, you guys shouldn't be distracting her. This is a time when she should be working hard." Hoseok reminds them and Yoongi agrees, She is young and talented. Suddenly he wants to make sure Taehyung and jimin stay the hell away from her.

"You guys...Hoseok is right. You're not going anywhere near her." He says firmly, standing up and they all look rather surprised.

"You can't decide..."

"Oh, watch me. If any of you try to get to her, I'll ground your asses into next year." He warns and Seokjin smiles mysteriously under his breath.

Both Jimin and Taehyung storm out of the practice room in a huff and Hoseok and Jung Kook sigh before following them.

"That's very considerate of you." He says with a grin and Yoongi feels like he's missing something.

"Yes. I think Yoongi hyung finally caught on." Rapmon shakes his head and Yoongi just stares back and forth because..what?

"Oh, come on hyung. Stop looking so befuddled. You've obviously caught on to the fact that she likes you!" He says impatiently and Yoongi is so thrown he just gapes at them.

"Are you honestly that oblivious?" Jin shakes his head in wonderment and Yoongi is certain everyone's gone mad.

"You guys, you're just... She doesn't even talk to me!" He protests.

"Precisely. Jamie talks to everyone hyung. Everyone." Jin says meaningfully and Yoongi is trying to get the bigger picture but he feels like he's missing a crucial puzzle piece.

"And?" He says stupidly. It's too early for this, he thinks tiredly. He still has to work on his mix-tape and the MV was due to be shot and he's got his group promotions to do as well and honestly he's too f*cking tired to talk to his asinine bandmates in code language.

"She has a crush on you. She's infatuated with you." Rapmon spells it out and he's so surprised he sits up .

"You guys are crazy." He says, disbelief coursing through him. He's exceptionally anrgy at Rapmon who happens to be a close friend. Yoongi loves his bandmates but he's not close to all of them. Only Rapmon and Hoseok know his struggles and issues and he is hurt that his supposed friend is teasing him about an issue that he's usually quite sensitive about.

Yoongi knows that he's bad at picking up social cues. He doesn't really notice body language or expressions. It's one of the reasons he stays away from the maknaes. Jimin, Kookie and Tae are all sensitive young kids who get easily hurt by his sharp tongue. Worse, he could hurt them and not even notice. He hates being the reason behind awkward silences and avoided glances and he knows that if he's that bad with guys he's probably going to be a billion times worse with a girl. Sighing, he glares at them and makes to move away but Jin reaches out and grabs his wrist.

"We're not making fun of you, Yoongi. You should know because she's a nice kid. Don't lead her on nintentionally." He says softly and Yoongi nods brusquely. They're both being idiots as far as he's concerned. Yoongi does not attract girls like Jamie Park. He's okay for one night stands and backstage quickies with intoxicated fans. He's not really the sort of guy who would appeal to someone nice and kind like Jamie Park. He gets out of the room and moves to the small fireescape on the corner of the hallway. He doesn't have to worry about anyone following him here. Rapmon and Jin know that sometimes he needs to sort out his shit by himself.

He wants a drink. Badly.

But he's quit all that a long time ago and he settles for leaning on the fireescape, pulling out his headphones and turning on some of his songs. He wants to scream he thinks with trembling fingers. It's one of those moments when he can't move beyond what just happened. He stares out into the landscape and he wonders where it all went wrong. He's not supposed to be worrying about hurting people and leading underage girls on. He's supposed to be making music he loves. He's a rapper, for f*cks sake. He's designed to be alone and selfish.

He thinks about Jamie Park and the familiar headache starts.

He curses out his bandmates and turns up the volume in his phone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fuck, Jin and Rapmon are idiots. Jamie Park is quite possibly the friendliest girl on the planet and thanks to the two crazies planting thoughts in his head, he can't look at her without going hot around the collar.

 It's stupid really. She calls him oppa and talks to him the same way she talks to the rest of them and everything's fine.

Until he spots Jimin leaning over her, his elbow resting right on the wall over her head as she leaned against it. The entire scene looks so disturbingly intimate that he's half tempted to look away. Sighing he considers walking over and dragging Jimin away but settles for just sauntering over and smiling at her. She looks a little surprised but returns his smile.

"You speak very good English." He says hesitantly, because he can't think of anything else. She smiles wide and he blinks when she pushes away from the wall and steps closer to him, subtly cutting Jimin off from the conversation. He blinks and glances at Jimin who is just as surprised, looking between him and her with suspicion.

Oh , f*ck no.

He starts to make up reasons to get away but she reaches out and lightly grabs the tips of his fingers. Her touch is soft and fragile yet it weighs like a boulder on his heart.

"Oppa, I think you might like this..." She says with a smile and leads him away and he resists the urge to glance at Jimin. He's not sure he can cope with whatever death glare the younger's sending his way.

She stops in front of one of the albums arranged on set and he blinks. It's one of his favorite artists, signed.

"Wow. That's a pretty rare thing. Where'd you guys get it?" He asks enviously.

"Don't mind that. I spoke to the producer. You can have it after the show gets over." She grins in delight and he's completely stumped for words.

"Oh..wow, Um... Thanks." The words seems stupid and inadequate but she looks happy nonetheless. She chatters a bit more about how she's trying not to be too clumsy because she doesn't want him to get hurt because of her again. Yoongi finds himself smiling along because she has a nice voice. Soothing. The kind you could fall asleep too.

He blinks at that errant thought.

Where had that come from?

Oh, yeah. Jimin had mentioned that the first time they'd googled her.

When was that?

"Are you free for the weekend?" She smiles wide and he's confused and a bit disoriented really.

"Not really. I've got to practise and...."

"Oh, I'll come visit you then. I'm planning on picking up some makchang from my friend's place and she's like this huge fan of BTS. She'll love to make portions for all of you. You guys deserve a treat for agreeing to come on our show so often." She grins and he marvels that she's no longer awkwardly shy in front of him anymore. He's not sure he's happy. He kind of misses shy Jamie. Everyone gets the bubbly , funny Jamie.

Shy, hesitant Jamie had been exclusively his.

His?

What the hell is wrong with him?

"I'm sure Jimin and Taehyung will like it if you bring them food. They're gluttons, both of them." He says with a wide smile and she sort of blinks at him.

"Oppa...you're smile...It's really dangerous." She says mischievously and he shuts his mouth quickly, embarrassed.

He stays quiet because he doesn't know if she's teasing him. He thinks his smile makes him a little too funny.

"I'm serious. Your eye smile is really..." She stops suddenly and he feels it too. Something changes and the air is no longer just friendly. Instead it feels oxygen deprived and he scratches his head nervously. The flirtatious undertones are suddenly really evident and he knows that this isn't right. She's too young.

"I..I should go.." He says quickly, eager to end the embarrassment for both of them. She blinks and bows awkwardly.

Suddenly shy, nervous Jamie is back and Yoongi is charmed and nonsensically jubilant. He loves it when she's nervous around him he realizes. That's a warning if there ever was one.

But it's too late and his body is on auto pilot as he leans in towards her.

He can't resist the urge to tease and leans over, lightly brushing her bangs off her forehead. His fingertip lightly touches her skin and it's like touching a soft bit of cloud. She goes red and then white , her words catching in her throat as she squeaks out a farewell and hightails it out of there. He grins after her in disbelief.

She makes him feel oddly powerful. It feels good, knowing he has that effect on the otherwise cool as a cucumber Jamie Park.

As she leaves, he turns around to find both Tae and Jimin glaring at him.

F*ck having to be the good guy.

He sighs in defeat.

For Wicapi Omani’s Sake have one Heck of a Canada Day

http://www.cbc.ca/radio/the180/weed-reviews-hypnosis-and-medicine-and-gord-downie-needs-to-step-out-of-the-indigenous-spotlight-1.4171996/the-problem-with-gord-downie-s-order-of-canada-1.4172095

And this is part of the problem.  “White Rock Stars” are said to not help, then when they focus their attention on a specific problem, they help the wrong way. How about listen to the lyrics the Tragically Hip promotes @CreeClayton instead of only grooving to the music. Gord Downie has never been pro Canada, he has been saying there is a problem Canada and it’s taken him until now to really dive in because he’s lived in Ontario his whole life.  The backlash of the residential school system was covered up and shooed away, it is not as visible a problem in a city like Toronto or Ottawa as it is in a small one, or in rural reserves where people have been forced to live in Third World conditions.  Everyone should have the right to clean water, Water Keepers is one of The Tragically Hip’s main charities as is Bullfrog Power, sounds like you are fighting for the same thing.

I grew up in a small town in Manitoba where many reserves sent children into the school system in our town because we had a better education system, and everyone was treated as equals.   We all took classes together, we went on trips, we played sports, no one was singled out and we were all challenged. The fact that reserves were set up in the first place is messed up and if you look a little harder you see social programs on the reserves are not valued, in a lot of cases the money allocated to education is mismanaged resulting in important programs like the Cree language program being cut from the classes. Teachers on those reserves were stealing electronics from the classrooms, the people disrespecting the new sports facilities built with funding from the government by letting them fall into disrepair, the children aren't expected to go to school instead the teachers are expected to pass them along by making up ways for them to be awarded marks perpetuating an attitude of crying foul instead of trying to actually find a solution. There is nothing for the children to do in a lot of cases so they just walk around and get into trouble. Someone has to start meeting the people half way to give them a sense of worth and the tools to succeed in the world and once they are in place you have to have patience, it is a long road to healing, there are good and bad days.

I agree that the survivors of residential schools should have a voice I have a friend that was council during the Truth and Reconciliation hearings and many of the people he represented were only speaking about it out loud for the first time, healing isn’t immediate. Maybe remembering the victims of residential schools as well and honouring their memories is exactly what we should be doing to help the survivors gain the extra strength it takes to be so public about a personal trauma.  That is what Gord has started and yes he may be white but he isn’t saying he’s right he's just trying something, who decided his spirit name, hypocrites? 

http://globalnews.ca/news/3109915/gord-downie-honoured-at-emotional-assembly-of-first-nations-meeting/

There is no reasoning with anyone who has a hardened heart they have grown rigid with pride, but not the kind of pride that fosters a movement, instead the kind that wants to protect what is theirs even though they can see it is damaged and nothing is changing.  Don’t you see that hurts the people who are vulnerable and working hard when you continuously want to have this divide that makes no difference? Indigenous or not it really doesn’t matter when you look at the state of the world, why focus on differences when we are the same?

http://occupylove.org/clayton-thomas-muller/

Clayton Thomas-Muller I have researched the good things you have been doing and I thank you very much and think you deserve all your honors.  Being an activist is a hard job, I’m sure people challenge you continually and that it is frustrating the corporations don’t listen but guess what it’s not because you’re Indigenous, they only listen to the money and power that they receive from causing harm to the earth.

If I’ve learned one thing as an activist it’s that we don’t need white people to translate our narrative to the mainstream- Clayton Thomas-Müller

I really do hope that the CBC misquoted you on that, who better to say something than someone everyone is listening to right now? Then you go as far to challenge a terminally ill man with a brain tumour who is just trying to leave this world with yet another revision to a similar conversation that he’s been promoting for 30 years. With the help of his friends Gord Downie came up with a way this atrocity could be taught to the children of Canada so they would be able to see the fault in our past and make the future better.  I read I heard the Owl Call my Name when I was growing up, not exactly the same story is it?

I hope that you consider the people you haven't heard from who were directly affected by the residential school system. Those who had the courage to speak up about the injustices they suffered before you were born, who allow you this freedom to speak so freely with no consideration or compassion for the hard work the white people translating a historical narrative to the mainstream never had to do in the first place. You've got to understand that there is no way for non-Indigenous people to apologize for this, your culture is beautiful and it makes more sense to me than any religion I was taught, it is a shame on this country that it tried to erase that. I feel the people who try to help are beat up for something they aren't doing to get credit for they just want to try a new approach, when you are directly involved it's hard to know how to start, we should embrace these ideas that come from love. All of the proceeds from the Secret Path is going to Truth and Reconciliation research at the University of Manitoba, think about that. Can you agree something has to change?  We should be working together and giving appreciation when it is due not discrediting the work because it has to be brought about so rigidly.

The race card is not biodegradable, they litter the ground and should be phased out, why do you want to continue manufacturing them and continue to divide us?
