2018 - Then There Were Three Of Them.

‘An Illicit Letter’ (detail) - Vittorio Reggianini

everything in the meat route is just.. so disappointing. even the parts i was looking forward to (davekat, calliroxy, rosemary, rose, jade, john being happy) ended up either being debased or tainted. i couldnt enjoy davekat without dirk looming over inserting in commentary and basically trying to force dave to kiss karkat. and then after that karkat was being a dickbag and they acted like everything was solved. calliope and roxy are nb and in love which is great! but then that got tainted with the misgendering and dirk just disregarding both of them, as if he never really cared about roxy, his (pre epilogue) BEST FRIEND and it hurts! jade is nothing but a plot vessel once more and rose is nullified and rendered weak while kanaya realized she was manipulated and is grieving over losing her wife. john was never happy and in his one moment of non-sadness he dies and terezi just… is there. shes deemed unimportant and given up. 

i truly believe that things wouldve been better without the epilogue. even with the fandom becoming smaller at least we had out own space to share content and be happy with the creation of relationships, of mending familial bonds, of binding together arcs. but all of that is taken and either made a joke about or thrown away amongst a sprinkle of oocness and joyful bitter acerbity. there may have been some good parts but lets be real its a 1:5 ratio of good scenes to either awful or tainted scenes and im willing to neglect this entire update to lie back and make a happy ending where fiction can be lent some joy

But to be honest, I would totally buy those mugs

Let’s talk about prairie, history, and language. For communities so focused on “native plants”/”native gardening”/etc there’s so little acknowledgement or engagement with indigenous Americans and their history. 

When we talk about science, there’s a baseline assumption of objectivity. Science is Truth, something apart from messy cultural ideas. The reality is, culture and all it’s messes bleed into science, like here in ecology. We gotta be conscious of the histories we inherit in science.
