One of the line in Phantom Liberty that really got my brain BRRBRR'ing hard isn't really one I would've thought to cause me so much THINKING

During Reed interogation at the lil basketball field thing, you can ask Johnny if he sees him, right? and he reply that he can only see what V sees

and MAN.... Yeah, duh! That makes a lot of sense....... yeh

Yeah

Oh Lord (aka Himaruya sensei) I'm okey with Portugal with a turtleneck or an open shirt with contrasted colors. Please hear me out. Amen.

Heyo - considering your views on AI shit, I figured I'd let you know that that X Files as anime art you reblogged (as of sending this ask) 4 days ago is AI. Check the hands, backgrounds, where wires lead in the bar pic, etc. Wanted to let you know so you can choose to delete it or not!

Thank you very much for the heads up! I deleted it.

Damn these things are getting insidious. I will have to keep an eye out for this art poison

an old history, i know... and i also know you must be tired of listening to let go. I know how you feel.

But the reason most of us keep repeating that, it's not only cuz it's cool or anything like that lol. There is a "logical" thing behind it that also involves the same "ignore the 3d" speech.

I've already spoken about this theme here but i'll speak again in a bit of different way, less personal and less rant way.

To have ur dream life, u dont need to do anything, just persist in the 4D! the opposite of the title, right? That's because there is a trick on that phrase.

To persist in the 4D, you need to live in it, identify yourself with the new story. You need to know that all your struggle in the 3D is PAST, it's gone, on trash and never coming back, the 3D doesn't matter.

Now you identify yourself with ur dream life/desire, the one in the 4D.

But for that... let go of ur past/life in the 3D. Why? Because it doesn't belong to you anymore, YOU don't belong to it anymore! And the more you hold yourself onto it, the later you'll have your "desire" life. Holding onto the 3D/PAST means you recognize it as your current and main reality, it means you identify yourself with it.

And that's why a lot of people say they persist and persist but cant get their desire life... they're still holding onto the past, the 3D.

❝Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. - Albert Einstein❞

this also take us back to my post that i spoke about this theme a bit giving as an example assuming a better place to live in. How i hold on to the memories of my current house, street, building TOO hard.

and i wanted to add a thing to that... you CAN feel nostalgic, you CAN miss a place, you CAN check the old photos and feel sad. YOU CAN FEEL! FEELINGS DON'T MANNIFEST!

but the whole thing starts the moment when you feel but when that feeling is gone YOUR state matters, it stays. What is the state you are after that feeling has gone? Do you identify yourself with the state of missing? the state of still being in that small old house? the state of when you didn't have your dream body?

FELLINGS DONT MANIFEST BUT STATES DO! (leaving a post explaining about states here)

so if you still IDENTIFY yourself with the 3D, the old history, the past... YOU'RE NOT IN THE STATE OF AN ACCOMPLISHED DESIRE! You're not living in the 4D, you're not identifying yourself with the new history! All the time you're wasting affirming, visualizing means nothing if you're still in the state of wishing, the state of missing!

manifestation is easy... you just need to live in the 4D, in the imaginations, in your dreams! Isn't that funny? Think you can have, do ANYTHING? Because you CAN! ANYTHING. YOU CAN.

summary ⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅

let go of the 3D/past, the old history!

live in the 4D, the imagination, the new and only reality!

and mostly important... really identify yourself with the 4D!!

(ps: i dunno if i explained my point rlly well cuz all this just came spontaneously and i wrote freely all my thoughts, so sorry if it got confused at some point!)

love seeing you hate on the showtime ruler set . keep up the good work

I appreciate it! but I don’t think it’s something praise worthy. I think speaking up about the issues with RMD should be the norm and it’s disappointing that it isn’t. You would think that “I don’t think the cultures of historically marginalized and oppressed groups should be used as costumes” wouldn’t be a hot take. but apparently it is.

On the subject of that: I’ve heard a lot of people say “it’s not really based on native Americans” and “they didn’t know any better.”

To the first point: that is probably correct. It most likely draws inspiration from the colonist idea of indigenous people in general, but more specifically the Ainu (indigenous people to Japan).

Which brings me to the second point - they absolutely should have known better (and saying otherwise warrants a discussion on the infantilization of East Asians as well as Japan apologism in general. but that’s off topic).

The Ainu have historically been subjected to absolutely horrific violence and oppression by the Japanese government, on par with how the US has treated Native Americans. They were viewed as primitive and barbaric. Their land was taken, Ainu women were sexually assaulted, they were forbidden from practicing their religion, they were put into Japanese speaking schools and forbidden to speak their own language. They were forced to assimilate by law. In 2008 there were ~100 native Ainu speakers. The Ainu weren’t recognized as an ethnically distinct group by the Japanese government until 2019, but they are still continually erased by the push for a homogenous national identity.

Portraying the colonization of indigenous people as a simple “well both sides were prejudiced against each other they just needed to hold hands and get along :)” erases the very real history of oppression against indigenous groups. It allows people to ignore the atrocities committed and their lasting impact. Native Americans and the Ainu (as well as other indigenous people) are still feeling the effects of colonization. It’s not an issue that can or should be viewed as a thing of the past.

Portraying indigenous people as a vague fantasy race/group or as a costume contributes to their continued erasure. It leads to people believing indigenous people and their culture no longer exist. The reality is replaced by the fictional representation.

Phrased more eloquently by Gerald Vizenor (and the person he is quoting) in Mannifest Manners:

“… other masters of manifest manners in the nineteenth century, and earlier, represented tribal cultures as the other; to them ‘language did the capturing, binding Indian society to a future of certain extinction,’ wrote Larzer Ziff in Writing in the New Nation. ‘Treating living Indians as sources for a literary construction of a vanished way of life rather than as members of a vital continuing culture, such writers used words to replace rather than to represent Indian reality.’

[…]

“Those who ‘memorialized rather than perpetuated’ a tribal presence and wrote ���Indian history as obituary’ were unconsciously collaborating ‘with those bent on physical extermination’ argued Ziff.”

(P.8, emphasis mine)

Vizenor is speaking about Native Americans here, but I think it’s applicable to this situation as well.

This post goes into it a bit more, in terms of harmful tropes present in the RMD story itself.

There’s definitely character related reasons to dislike the RMD story, but I think it cheapens the discussion to center it around “why rui wouldn’t write that” because that is not the important issue and defending a fictional character from the colonization apologist allegations is like. A non issue. Considering everything else.

I should be allowed to mannifest my characters in the real world for like... An hour, maybe.
