For this Native American History Month, I wanna send a special shout out to intersex Native and Indigenous folks, to gender non-conforming Native and Indigenous folks, to nonbinary Native and Indigenous folks, to genderfluid Native and Indigenous folks, and especially to intersex Black Native and Afro-Indigenous folks, to gender non-conforming Black Native and Afro-Indigenous folks, to nonbinary Black Native and Afro-Indigenous folks, to genderfluid Black Native and Afro Indigenous folks.
I'm Black Native and Afro-Indigenous; I'm nonbinary and genderfluid, and in context with me discovering and reclaiming gender identities and gender expression descriptors from my Native/Indigenous culture and especially from specific Indigenous groups in my blood, I'm nadleehi (Navajo/Diné), asegi udanto (Tsalagi), sxints (Nuxalk) and dilbaa (Navajo/Diné again). (I also have extensive heritage from Algonquin, Lakota, Blackfoot, Métis, Iroquois, Seminole, Nêhiyaw, Mi'kmaw, etc. and many, many, many, many other tribes.)
Then on top of that, I found out I was born intersex which I found out later in life, which along with me learning the history of how Native Americans have often held intersex folks, androgynous folks, feminine males and masculine females in high respect has been a very healing and enlightening part of my journey, culturally and expression wise.
In fact, I've been thinking about how American western culture fixates on sex and gender way too much and mainly in context of forcing colonialist eurowestern gender boxes on folks, especially black and indigenous folks, forcing labels or labelessness on us too often. And as an Afro-indigenous woman/femme, I've already been in the process of deprogramming from colonialist gender norms and reconnecting with my blackness and my Native/Indigenous American and Indigenous/Aboriginal roots, and at times my gender expression and identity intersects with that. Lily Gladstone (who uses she and singular they pronouns) worded it perfectly as decolonizing gender and that's the journey I've been on, and a journey that I'm still on as it's ever evolving and increasingly more nuanced and complex.
Anyways, I just wanna say that I love you guys, I see you and I wanna send out as much love, light and warmth to many of you as possible. 💕💕

The Battle of Colors - Barranquilla, Colombia – February 2006
The Carnival of Barranquilla is a unique festivity which takes place every year during February or March on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Cumbia, both music and dance, is considered to be the main essence of the Carnival. A colourful mixture of the ancient African tribal dances and the Spanish music influence – cumbia, porro, mapale, puya, congo among others – hit for five days nearly all central streets of Barranquilla, the capital of the Atlántico Department. Those traditions kept for centuries by Black African slaves have had the great impact on Colombian culture and Colombian society. In November 2003 the Carnival of Barranquilla was proclaimed as the Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

the discord cooked up a real world setting au so i made some semi-realistic-but-not-really portraits of the museum trio to go with it
#epithet erased#dairydraws#molly blyndeff#sylvester ashling#giovanni potage#ee#jelloapocalypse#museum trio#the fact that i had to google ‘fifteen year old’ to do this…#artist google image search histories are the dumbest shit#you think you know what a teenager looks like until you have to draw one#it’s insane. also now that i’m not longer a teenager it’s suddenly really hard to draw teenagers and i HATE that#molly’s hair is fun to draw when i completely disregard how it looks in canon and just draw a 4a afro#nobody’s caught me yet but that’s what i do every time#because seriously whatever is going on with her canon hair shape. dear lord in heaven#paintings

another Vital AU hunter-and-camila thought from this morning was a thought of, like. camila very very very gently and carefully explaining that she'd like luz to get a basic physical done by a doctor in the human realm, because luz has not been seen by a human doctor since she was four and is overdue for ten million vaccines and desperately needs bloodwork to check her vitamin and thyroid levels, etc, etc, etc, and hunter is like. visibly freaked out and upset by this. bc he is SO afraid of strangers hurting luz.
anyway. that's all pretty much expected, on account of The Horrors.
what got me in my feelings was the thought of camila telling hunter that she has a lot of the same worries, and that she Knows not all human healers have good intentions, and that she Promises she'll take that into account when finding one for luz. because she does not want luz to get hurt.
hunter, naturally, is like "how.... do you know that....?" and camila is like ay dios mio. HOW do i explain medical racism or the united states..... to a boy.... with no concept of racism or the united states.....
#not that i think she has perfect tumblr-style praxis vocab for it anyway. however#it would be disingenuous for me to pretend that being an afro-latina woman in a 2010s/2020s political climate does not impact her#characterization here. camila has a lot of Big Parent Fears that are Extremely Reasonable.#hunter doesn't know the history of course but it makes camila's caution about luz line up spectacularly with his own. so that's something#ultimately i think she'd just tell him that she's known people who were affected by bad human healers#and that human healing isn't any more perfect or morally pure than the healing coven.#given that explaining the minutiae is. A Much Longer Story.#i've been thinking about camila a lot lately. both in this AU and in the canon i just...#i LOVE when there's One Character who's grounded in Being Fucking Normal. it's Wonderful#the straight man of fantasy bits. camila is worrying about her daughter's college tuition and her mortgage while battling magical bullshit#she's Perfect.#toh#princess luz au#camila noceda#hunter toh#horrible mindscape trauma pals#racism#medical abuse#medical malpractice
