gotta say, theres something really weird about how online queer spaces pretend that intersex people dont exist. even american queer rights orgs seem to ignore us. and then i see kiwi sites on queer communities and theres comparatively a lot of intersex stuff. i go to a local nurses office and intersex people are included in a pamphlet on representation in books. every queer rights org has a link to to sites for intersex rights. am i crazy or is america falling behind? its quite... concerning
#intersex#queer#in the same train of thought#american media is strangely devoid of indigenous representation#for most of my life#the majority of media i have engaged in#is american#yet i didnt find any native american characters outside westerns#until i read heros of olympus#Piper is the only native american character ive ever seen#outside media set in the 1800s#compare that to media in aotearoa#where theres hakas on tv#just because thats part of aotearoa#not trying to brag#but america is falling behind

When it comes to textured hair there’s many styles, here some I’ve seen at powwows. Braided locs have to be my favorite style so far 💖
(Edit)- i didn’t communicate this very well but this is a merging of cultures. Culturally/traditionally no we didn’t have cornrows/locs these are black hairstyles, and then mixed with our hairstyles because of the influence of Afro indigenous people (the two braids)💖 having two braids for some regalia is very important and so these are hairstyles I’ve seen Afro natives wear for powwows. Not saying two pigtails are just a native thing but cultural context is important
Reminder braids are not a universal hairstyle between tribes! I’m coming from the perspective of Great Plains tribes. I just thought I might share what braided hair means to my community and people. I see people trying to make ocs or redesigns of characters who are native but don’t actually represent us too good. Reminder to always research a tribe before making a character learn their protocols and at least try to learn something new! 🌸💖🍇
I just wanna say I love our hair! It means so much to us please take care of it🥺💖

Saying this very prematurely considering we’re months away from the book even being released but if they don’t cast a Native American actor to play Haymitch in the Sunrise on the Reaping I will be so furious.
#‘but continuity! he’s white in the movie!’ I don’t give a fuck!!#while we’re at it maybe fix that by remaking the movies and having the characters be book accurate! like genuinely katniss and haymitch#being stripped of their strong Native American coding for the film adaptations dulls the effect of the story SIGNIFICANTLY#same goes for gale and the rest of the indigenous coded members of district 12 and panem in general (not sure how many since I read the#books around 7-8 years ago now)#thg#sunrise on the reaping#haymitch abernathy#the hunger games

Every day praising an indigenous character Day 40-
Ashitaka and San from Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime)
The term "native coded" refers to fictional characters who, although not explicitly identified as indigenous, present characteristics, behaviors, cultural traits, appearances or elements of their stories that are associated with indigenous peoples.
Princess Mononoke is a timeless tale of indigenous colonization and survival. The animated feature is set in late Muromachi period (approximately 1336 to 1573) Japan with fantasy elements. The story follows the involvement of young Emishi prince Ashitaka in a struggle between the gods of a forest and the humans who consume its resources. The term “Mononoke” is not a name, but a Japanese word for spirit or monster: supernatural beings that change shape.
The characters in Princess Mononoke are based on indigenous peoples of Japan, specifically the Emishi and Utari (often referred to as Ainu). Princess Mononoke is a 2016 Japanese animated film directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. Its release date in Japan was July 12, 1997, and worldwide release began in 1999.

Just a reminder if you're writing a story of POC characters, especially native american characters, depicting us takes time and respect.
If they're in a modern environment, dont make them "normal" like white people are "normal".
Our cultures are very much alive and connected to us. It may be easy to give the characters long hair and a scene eating frybread, but tossing our culture when its not convenient isnt an option.
For example, the fanart and fanfic of Pavitr, aka spider India, whitewashed the hell out of him for convenience. Many ignored his connection to his culture in favor of a (colorist) feminine depiction of him in white centered beauty.
You need to understand how our cultures influence our way of life, and what culture you're representing.
It's not copy and pase from chad or Elizabeth, because our foundational upbringing shapes who we become. Please consider our cultures when writing poc and native characters.
