#beamers

[uwlmvac]

This pair of beamers made from deer bone was found at the base of a feature at a late precontact Oneota site in downtown Onalaska, Wisconsin, in 2012. They were made from left and right metatarsals (back foot bones). As beamers, they would have been used similarly to a draw knife, with the long middle section of the back of each bone acting as a scraping tool, perhaps on hides. Articulated tarsal (hock or ankle) bones uncovered with the metatarsals might have served as “handles,” with tendons or hide still attached. Both metatarsals were modified on the back side, and their inside edges have an upside-down V shape, with some lengthwise striations from smoothing. Light polish is present on most of the outside and the modified edges, and parts of the surface are slightly eroded. The left metatarsal (top lab photo) has cut marks in three spots at either end; the right one (bottom lab photo) does not. Beamers such as these are uncommon at La Crosse Oneota sites and are an intriguing topic for future studies.

Me: You're supposed to leave one car-length between you and the car in front of you for every ten miles per hour of speed to allow for safe braking distance, so I'm going to make an attempt here.

A highly concerning problem

(massive tw for 18+ content etc, if you are sensitive to such topics please click away)

I would appreciate if you could all hear me out to the end on this one, as I unfortunately feel the feathers this will ruffle are the ones who need to hear it most. (There is a TLDR at the bottom if you would like)

I’m afraid this fandom has a growing problem with sexually explicit content regarding minors. The main cast of this story are all children, save Chris, and yet I have seen posts, art, and fanfics about these MINORS having kinky sex and illustrations of them engaging in bdsm-related content. This is disgusting and illegal. There has also been a lot of labelling of these characters as ‘whores’ and ‘sluts’ which is not illegal, but in my opinion is very very strange.

“Why do you care, just click away”

“It’s just internet fan content, it’s not a big deal”

I would hope morals alone would deter people from doing something so obviously creepy, but here are some other reasons this is dangerous:

This fandom is full of minors, and when they see this glorification of sex and drugs while under age, it normalises it for them. This could potentially lead to them ending up in dangerous situations because they have become blind to the reality of their situation. They could end up scarred for life, and if you think I’m overreacting, this process has probably already happened to you.

Minors are not the only ones who will see this type of art. Posting this is providing a certain demographic with content that they should not have access to. It also draws them to, again, a fandom filled with Minors. 

Some people (myself included) do not want to see this content and exposure to it may cause adverse effects. I came to this fandom because I wanted to talk about silly teenagers with superpowers based off a skeleton from a 2015 video game. I did not want to see to creeps discussing kinky sex fantasies with minors. 

“Lots of TV shows have this kind of content, why don’t you complain about that?”

I do. The key difference here is that this fandom glamourises child porn and inappropriate relations between children and also minors and adults. Most shows that grapple with this topic point out how bad this is and it’s very real adverse effects on people, and if they don’t they’re usually called out for it. As an additional point, most shows that tackle this are usually 18+.

“I’m a teenager, and I have these feelings.”

Again, you’re not the only person seeing this content. Non-teens with questionable motives will see it too. Also yes, I get it, most teens will want to explore the topic of sexuality. However if you must be rampantly horny, please channel it through adult characters and share it in communities of people who have volunteered to see such topics. 

As an aside, and I feel that this may offend some people but I do want to highlight it, I would like to point out that Chris is an adult and Nevin is a minor. I have heard some say that ‘Nevin is almost 16’, but I would like to refute that with two points:

16 is still a minor.

Nevin is not real, he doesn’t age on a day-by-day basis like we do. He cannot be ‘almost’ 16, it doesn’t work like that. He is a child until the author says otherwise.

Sure, a relationship with Chris wouldn’t be illegal, but the maturity gap between those age groups is dangerous if normalised in real life. I don’t know any 18 year olds without alterior motives who would date a 15 year old. 

I would like to say that I have nothing against shipping the characters, just posting explicit material of them. 

TLDR; Posting sexually explicit content of minors is illegal, normalises dangerous activities in the impressionable young minds of other teens, provides Pedos with free content and draws them to this fandom. Also most people didn’t ask to see that type of stuff, we just want to look at fanart of our favourite characters, so please keep it to specific communities.

For a long time, I struggled with drawing powers for IBVS characters, so I had to figure out what I wanted to do (and change it up, as per usual). So I decided Nevin was the easiest because Isaac and Ed made me mad.

Here's the main drawing, but if you wanna see the concept and my ideas below you can.

So! We all know that Nevin maybe/is an adrenaline junkie (if not, mine definitely is). I always had a hard time with making his hands ACTUAL daggers so I did something a tad different? So of course, instead of his hands being daggers.. what if it was something connected to his skeleton himself? The daggers, techinally, could sheathe and unsheathe whenever needed. I see them being bone, sure - but they are probably covered in that same goo. The reason some of the things ARE blue was because I think it would be a little interesting if it glew in the dark in a way?

I also believe the idea that since Nevins' idea was kind of 'animalistic' or something, his ears would get a little bit pointed if he overused it.

In addition to the daggers, maybe he has claws? Just incase. He could also use said daggers to climb a stone wall or elsewhat if needed.

I feel like the goo would fill his mouth and his nose, making it hard for him to breathe in some way or another?

Aside from the super strength what if there was a small addition? I'd say hearing, but I believe the goo comes from his ears too(?) SO I decided what if it was stamina or speed related?

Anyway. Hey! This was my first concept... way back.
