literally rewriting all Sonic lore rn

"Sonic, a Somali hedgehog, was born to Bernadette and Jules Hedgehog on June 23rd, 2000. After his father Jules passed away from a fungal respiratory infection in 2008, Sonic left his mother to pursue a noble cause of fighting crime, ‘stopping bad guys’ like his father had done previously in the Great War against the Echidna Tribe."

We know how to say Appalachian, we live here!! You’re the one saying it wrong!!!

I’m not sure why TikTok is so focused on the Appalachians but, they’re doing it wrong. Everyone who thinks this is what it’s like to live in the Appalachians.

You’re wrong! This is what it’s like to live in the Appalachians.

Windigo’s and Skin Walkers are just a tiny blimp on our map, here are just a few of the Cryptids in the Tar Heel area I live in.

Yeah…but, the ones you really got to watch out for are the Meth Heads even our Cryptids avoid them.

common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

HMMMMM. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think maybe the idea that Pale King caused the decline/eventually extinction of the moth tribe or the fact White Lady left the palace before the Pure Vessel was sealed? Admittedly, I haven't watched any playthroughs / played the game myself in quite some time, so I'm a bit rusty. But I can't remember any info about PK being to blame for the moths situation aside from the mention that they abandoned their original goddess and turned to him, I kind of always just assumed they died out during the infection like the rest of the populous, so when I joined the fandom and saw that people blamed PK for directly contributing to their deaths I was genuienly confused (as in, only PK was to blame for the moths and not the Radiance as well (if the infection is to blame)). Again, I am a bit rusty, so do correct me if I'm wrong. As for the WL thing, I guess it makes sense if somebody believes she's left to the gardens after PV ascended the Abyss but as far as I'm aware there no in-game info for when she left so I think it's just a headcanon that got very popular.

number of fandom-related words you've filtered

I only filter common triggers. The only fandom-related stuff I have filtered are various rancid incestuous ships, but thankfully, they're not really common on tumblr to begin with.

what if ikrie joins the gaia gang at the base since it seems like it’d be considered a werak

sylens cannot be the only banuk they ever meet lol

Anon, I absolutely love the way you think and let me tell you, there's nothing more than I want from the third game than this. Sylens, for all intents and purposes, might look like a Banuk, but even the Banuk doubt he was ever truly one of them, and even if he was, he seems to like thinking himself outside of and above all tribes, so arguing he's the Banuk representative at base is wobbly at best. Let's face it: when they made their game about Aloy learning the importance of friendship and gathering her team for the current and coming challenges from all the tribes, Guerrilla kind of forgot that the Carja and Banuk exist, too. (And then got rid of the Nora, but that's something for a different time, so I won't get into it.) Where Ikrie joining the gang is concerned, there's a few scenarios I've spent entirely too much time thinking about that come to mind. We know that back in Frozen Wilds, she'd lost everything she held dear, and had her life completely uprooted, realising that what she thought would be her path could never be. When you talk to her at the hunting grounds, she says that she's in no hurry to return to Ban-Ur yet, and it's not too unlikely she might ultimately decide that she won't return at all. So, where would she go from there? She seems like a restless character, much like Aloy, so the hunting grounds won't be her final stop, and even though she considers starting some of her own, I feel she might not want to tether herself to one spot right away. (Plus I feel Lauvuk would have an encouraging thing or two to say about her leaving and seeing the world and asking that girl out.)

So I feel we have:

Ikrie staying in the Cut for a while after she last sees Aloy, eventually meeting Gildun, either while visiting Song's Edge, or just stumbling across him on the road, possibly finding him in a bit of a pickle once again; and after talking to him decides to accompany him west on his delves, for protection and company. Since we know Gildun passed through the later-collapsed tunnel, which would put them into Aloy's general vicinity, she could either go and seek her out, or we keep with the game's events and they meet up while Ikrie is trying to get Gildun out of another door incident ("By the Blue Light, you turn away for five seconds and he gets himself trapped again! ....I think I broke that button over in the next room.") After some catching up and Focus-acquiring Ikrie decides to join forces with Aloy again--fate's a long climb on a high cliff for people like her and Aloy, and what higher cliff and better challenge to rise to than facing Nemesis?, and returns to Base with her. (For bonus Banuk points insert Inatut in Gildun's protection squad here. I feel he would really hit it off with Erend, and eventually join the Vanguard. Vanguard Inatut rights!)

Another option would be her arriving late to the Battle at the Spire with Starbucks. News travel quickly in the Cut, even in remote areas, and a hunting ground is a hub for travellers seeking some training and maybe some rest before or afterwards. So Ikrie hears the rumours, and the stories, and learns that Aloy needs help saving the world. Both Aratak and Inatut have already left, and while she might not be able to catch up with them, she hurries to Meridian. When she arrives, the battle is over, the world is (for now) saved, everyone is celebrating, and Aloy, who she came to help, is nowhere to be seen because she already ran away (once again). Since there's nothing for her in Meridian, but she still intends to help Aloy, she joins Varl on his quest to seek her out, maybe following up on a different rumour than he does right before Forbidden West starts so they meet up a little later than that. (This one also comes with a side of Vanguard Inatut. I may be rather passionate about that one.)

Of course, there's also the shippy option fitting the timeline I have for them in my head, but ignores canon a little (or a lot): Aloy straight up asks Ikrie to accompany her to the West, the two of them set out in pursuit of the rumour that there might be an intact copy of GAIA somewhere in the wilderness of No Man's Land; the Embassy happens, Aloy runs off again and Ikrie is left to follow in her tracks, eventually finding her all messed up in Stone's Echo after her narrow escape from Latopolis. While Aloy is resting and healing, Talanah, Milu, and Varl catch up to them, and ultimately the events of Dying Lands take place, so that they all find the Base together.

Long story short, Ikrie as a Gaia gang member yes please. Imagine all the fun she'd have getting into all sorts of ridiculous challenges with Kotallo, too. The Sunwings at the top of the base would never know peace again.

its so strange and painful and lovely going back to your favorite book as a child and going "ohhh of course this is the story that made me"

[nexus-nebulae]

was watching a video on how shit the pocahontas movie is and thinking about the mystification of native americans in media and how they're usually shown to be serious, quiet, and typically not very emotive- i have just realised that i cannot imagine a native american child being silly and having fun because i've literally never seen that before and that is so fucked

[dogberryrowan]

Every so often i think about the fact that it was my ancestors' wildest dream just for me to exist - nevermind speaking our Indigenous languages or carrying songs or keeping cultural practices alive - their dream for me was to not be hunted like an animal and their dreams came true

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEANDERTHAL CHILD WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME? Because they're all I've been thinking about when I'm sad for the past few days. Their existence makes me less sad.

Excerpt from this story from Smithsonian Magazine:

For the first time in 112 years, Chinook salmon are swimming freely in the Klamath Basin in Oregon.

On October 16, biologists with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) spotted the fish above the former site of the J.C. Boyle Dam in the Upper Klamath River. The dam was one of four that had blocked the salmon’s migration between the Klamath Basin and the Pacific Ocean. Each of those dams was recently deconstructed in the largest dam removal project in United States history, which has restored the river to its natural, free-flowing state.

At first, biologists wondered if they had really sighted a salmon. “We saw a large fish the day before rise to surface in the Klamath river, but we only saw a dorsal fin,” says Mark Hereford, leader of ODFW’s Klamath Fisheries Reintroduction Project, in a statement. “I thought, was that a salmon, or maybe it was a very large rainbow trout?”

But when the team returned on October 16 and 17, they were able to confirm the fall-run Chinook—making them the first to spot the species in the region since 1912.

The return of the salmon comes less than two months after the end of the dam removals in California and Oregon, an effort that took decades of advocacy by the surrounding tribes—including the Yurok, Karuk, Shasta, Klamath and Hoopa Valley, among others—whose people have deep ties to the Chinook salmon.

Ron Reed, a Karuk tribe member and traditional fisherman, participated in the campaigns for dam removal, advocating that the river’s restoration would help salmon recover. He isn’t surprised the fish have returned so quickly to their ancestral waters, he tells the Los Angeles Times’ Ian James.

“The fact that the fish are going up above the dams now, to the most prolific spawning and rearing habitat in North America, it definitely shines a very bright light on the future,” Reed tells the Los Angeles Times. “Because with those dams in place, we were looking at extinction. We were looking at dead fish.”

In one poignant case, tens of thousands of Chinook salmon died off in the span of days in 2002, as the water quality in the dammed Klamath River deteriorated from the lack of flow. The dams, built between the early 1900s and 1962, also contributed to algae blooms and diseases, and they blocked the salmon’s annual migration.

I’m Native American and my entire name, first middle and last, are all Spanish names. Like, do you know how many Jessica’s I know?? They are all native too. The people I know who do have a “native American name” are some of the most annoying, insufferable people you could ever meet. They are the types to look down on you for not knowing the language or for not being seen at every powwow. And if they themselves are parents then their kids usually have a name straight from a cartoon. (Like Koda or Kenai. You know? From Brother Bear)

Also also also!!! I told you how my entire name is Spanish? Yes? Well guess what? I ALSO have a “Native American” name! My grandmother gave it to me. A lot of us have a “government” name and a “native” name. And no, we don’t share that knowledge. Only family members call us by our native name.

And guess what! A lot of those “native” names are just things like little bear, groundhog, owl, or rabbit but, you know, in the Native language of the people.

And another thing! Some people have a “regular” name like Shawn or Cody or April or Sabrina. And have a very “native” sounding last name like kingfisher or crow or runninghorse or wolf(e).

TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS

I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.

Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.

However, I’ve got your solution.

Native-Languages  is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!

Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.
