💗🐴✨🪩Pink Pony Club!🪩✨🐴💗

Last night I had an amazing bestie night with my dear @fancylatte at @superficialparty ‘s Pink Pony Club Pop Party!

I’m used to going to clubs in a group and while that was the initial intent, we ended up losing everyone we came with and just danced the night away together 🤭🤭

I love this girl so much, Vikki is my best friend in this entire world and I needed a night like this more than anything!

💚⭐️ ADELAIDE ⭐️💚

A tall, shy, and modest gnome. Though gnomish magic is considered “easy,” she was never able to learn it due to her elven mother pushing her own practices. In the end, she came out rather mediocre in both. She has trouble with self-worth, and since she's mixed-race, she had a nonlinear growth pattern – both of these factors would mean she couldn’t make friends as a child. You’d think that these struggles would deter her from being a party leader, but she decided to go for it anyways. Much to everyone’s surprise (especially her own), she actually thrives in the dungeon environment, but the same can’t be said for her new acquaintances…

Does anyone else think Sabrina Carpenters style gives Bryce Quinlan vibes?

I absolutely second that! I'm Australian but (for reasons not relevant here) spent upper primary school living in Western Europe attending an USAmerican international school. My mother was haunted by the idea that me and my siblings weren't learning the Australian-specific humanities content we'd have gotten if we'd been back home, and as part of an effort to correct that bought us some books that basically had a Horrible Histories-esque tone.

I mostly read and re-read the first book in the series, and I can't remember date range but it basically started with pre-invasion* European contact and went through to I think federation. My recollection is these books didn't really unpack the First Nations' perspective, like they still were very much positioned primarily as sympathetic to people who had been transported. (Which does mean they were pretty ACAB lol.)

But the fact that they left in parts like massacres, enslavement, genocide of Indigenous Tasmanians, James Cook being Like That, etc., ended up being HUGE for me. Like, I'm a historiography** girl, I know there's no "neutral" approach to reporting history, but the barest facts prima facie are just Not Good. In particular I remember this part that was just like "Terra Nulius was plainly bullshit, because like... There Was Guys There. You kept having to kill them, so they're clearly there???? European understandings of land ownership be damned."

Anyway, I say this was Huge for me bc it turns out when I reintegrated into Australian schooling I was coming in way hotter and more anti-colonial than everyone else. Also I was so so bad at naming people who undertook mapping expeditions. So I ended up being slightly behind anyway because I didn't know anything post-federation and retained Zero names of white boys who died trying to find the inland ocean.

Like I'm not even trying to claim I was a Woke Bae in class (I was 11yo and I wanted the authority approval so bad lol), or that I'm a flawless ally to Indigenous people now, or even that my peers were all completely ignorant. It's just literally my whole perspective was founded on the idea that cruelty to Indigenous people was if not a feature then an inevitable byproduct of colonialism, and this was Probably Bad Actually. And I didn't realise that for most of my peers and even many teachers weren't starting from that same premise.

And this always fascinated me because my mother didn't set out to give me a Woke History Book. (I think I literally ended up with those books bc, as I say, they had a very HH vibe and I LOVED HH.) It also, more importantly... really stands in contrast to the sanitized American history I learned in school.

(*they used the term "settlement" or if they were feeling spicy "colonisation", which is fairly standard for books ostensibly aimed at white kids. In the academic environment in which I operate**, however, we tend to use "invasion" because even if the Brits brought a prisoner labour force to then colonise with doesn't make it not a military action.)

(**Australian theatre historiography, not history history, so I won't unilaterally claim language we use is current best practice)
