two Bad History Takes don't make a Good History Take

right: throughout history, many non-European civilizations have had impressive technologies for their time periods, and this is often minimized by white supremacist interpretations of the past. just like their counterparts in Europe, they had a complex range of advancements and limitations given the materials around them, their worldviews, and the areas of technology on which their society placed a high priority

wrong: the Aztecs had FLYING CARS and the British were EATING FRIED SHIT AS A DELICACY

(and before anyone says "um but Europe WAS disgusting!" the whole point of this post is that that was also mostly a myth. come on, people)

Dude some of those popular so-bad-its-good movies are unironically outsider art and I don’t think they get enough appreciation for that

YAHOO!

I'm a little late to the trend, I'm blaming the start of Uni for that. Alberta/Calgary!Miku- Summer and Winter variants!

I like the thought of during red and greens trips to newer regions most younger ppl have very little idea who they are/don't care that much, but then their parents/anyone older see them they start losing their mind at The Kanto Champions especially anyone who's from Kanto but moved abroad...old gen sees charizard and thinks of red the living legend. New gen sees charizard and thinks of Leon the unbeatable champion...both are goats and honestly red is probably thankful he's recognized less as he gets older. Never liked the fame and attention. Green might be a tiny bit sad when he realizes that he's now considered Old to kids. He's not even middle aged but to a child he is ancient and from a different time in pokemon battling history.

Actually, Guzman is his spanish name.

OH YEAH some other folks pointed that out too, makes sense since it's an irl Spanish name (probably why I see it around a lot!) 😳

(normally it's a surname, I've only seen it used as a first name once in a blue moon -- but also in the pokemon world it's pretty clear that naming conventions aren't the same lol)

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but... I'm starting to consider taking a break from Genshin and just go play Wuwa instead for once 😬

Pokémon Abstract shoutout!

Have I mentioned I really like Pokémon Fan-Games? Because they’re better than the actual games. fight me.

Playing Abstract right now and I’m having a really fun time :) My favorite fakemon on my team are the ones above. The little bunny is way too overpowered and I love it so much.

I’ve been thinking about Drakovia (as you do) and I think the only way you can write it into our world without completely breaking modern history is making it AU Romania which hypothetically sides with the Allies early in WW2 and does not fall under Soviet occupation afterwards. With its status as one of the victors in WW2 and stronger ties with Western European countries, it maintains economic and political independence throughout the 20th century, and that's how the Thorne royal family survives up until modern times. 

Drakovian church is some variation of Orthodox Christianity. Drakovian language would be a romance language like Romanian (with a lot of Slavic vocabulary mixed in). The odd mix of Greek, Slavic and Latin names is explained by the diverse ethnic makeup of Drakovia and migration from neighbouring countries. Thorne is still an odd surname because 'thorn' is of Germanic origin, but Romanian surnames can end in e, and hypothetically there could probably be a word in Drakovian that just happens to sound alike.

This took me four hours???? Girl get it together

Anyway Zelda zora armor ? I wanted it to be a bit different from Link's. Ig in this au Yona made it as a gift to the princess, OORRRR its like. Super old armor made for a princess long past?? Hmmm

Sidon is so so so sad his boyfriend is missing. His dialog would be a bit less excited with Zelda, but still friendly obv!!

i always forget theres real good southern cooking i feel like when i think of southern cooking as someone whose never been there i think of like. heavily processed stuff and wartime casseroles and full pounds of butter in everything.

It's hard to get into this as a stereotype because it's like. Not entirely untrue, but it's mainly true of specifically poor white families, it's just that people tend to think that that demographic is the majority of people in the south or at least that they're the most representative of the region. The american southeast's cuisine history is very, very, very tied to colonization and slavery. Most of our cultural foods are at minimum heavily influenced by indigenous and black cuisines, and I think it is not a coincidence that people don't consider the things that came from that cultural interplay the forefront of southern culture and default to what (they think) the white poor people are doing instead.

Also quick side note…I know I live in the game files too much because I can name every game a reused asset comes from, its location, the nation of origins, ect. And it drives me up a wall that there is next to NO new paintings????

I’m sorry why??? Why is there a bunch of Orlesian paintings? Inquisition concept art paintings??? Could you not use datv concept art? Why is it all Orlesian???

“miku as your home culture really shows that the USA has no culture” discussion has lost the plot. say it with me folks . it’s not that USamericans don’t have a culture it’s that we’ve so aggressively globalized it that people feel it’s the “default” rather than an amalgamation of the popular culture we produce and export and explicit geopolitical decisions. it’s neocolonialism. this is like. necessary to understand if you’re going to meaningful critique the USA’s impact on the rest of the world culturally and otherwise
