Y’all it’s confirmed….

Hoechlin picked Vince to play Eli is because Vince’s reminded him of Dylan/Stiles.

Stereks keep fucking winning!

(Also you can’t tell me that Hoechlin isn’t playing Sterek as slightly bitter divorcees CAUSE HE IS)

Important ideas to consider when creating characters who are black and indigenous people of color. (x)

Native artwork is honestly fucking gorgeous and it infuriates me that when you think of or try to look up “Native American art”, you get fetishistic, colonizer bullshit.

I’m so fucking sick of it. We’re always defined by how other people see us.

That and native art is so underrated too. It’s hard to get attention to my artwork, it’s hard to get attention to any native artist, art competition, gallery.. anything. We all spend hours, days, even weeks honing our skills and creating art for ourselves and others. People only want the creations we slave over when it’s cheap or free. They don’t recognize each detail and it’s meaning or the intricacies we took time to sketch out or bead in or sew or anything.

I go to festivals in my area where lots of indigenous people (namely First Nations or Salish) are. A lot of their tents have the stereotypical fetishing native art incorporated into a product somehow and it makes me a little forlorn, but there isn’t much I can do but be sad. Now that’s a part of a bigger issue I can’t get into now, but you see the problem.

Art from all nations needs to be recognized.

I bought art from a creator named Harmony Hoss. She was so friendly and she sells her art at Pike’s Place in Seattle as a Tlingit woman. Tell me her formline isn’t absolutely gorgeous. But she goes so unrecognized because people are so unimpressed with her hard work.

Anyways, support native artists.

For anyone who wants to support Harmony Hoss, she has a website!

Unfortunately, it’s incredibly difficult finding real Native artists online just because of how many people blatantly lie or use misdirection to make people think that they’re Native. If anyone has recommendations for Native artists, feel free to share them!

Here are some native artists and businesses!

Sa-Cinn - https://sa-cinn.com/ - Northwest Coastal-based native business that showcases different artists who make a variety of items such as prints, blankets, jewelry, and drums.

Here’s some more that are some of my faves!

John Isaiah Pepion (Instagram link)- Blackfeet contemporary ledger artist who also has earrings, phone cases, and blankets on his site which is linked on his IG bio. My fave t-shirt is from one of his pieces back when he was first testing out merch and he ran some off. I’m still crossing my fingers and trying not to hit him up like “this would be dope on a shit” every time he posts a new piece

The Chief’s Daughter (Instagram link) - Karli Crow Shoe a Pikanii/Blackfoot/Nez Perce designer who focuses mainly on beadwork; she does a ton of custom works and is influenced heavily by Niitsitapi culture for sellable work

Bunky Echo-Hawk (Instagram link) - Pawnee/Yakima visual artist and visual performer. You’ve probably seen his work floating around Cyber NDN Country even if you’ve never heard of him; he’s the one who painted Yoda as a Pawnee that one time years and ages ago. He sells prints and stickers on his website where there’s a link in his IG bio; he’s pretty popular but Imma always feel like everybody needs to know Bunky’s work

Tumblr’s own resident Bear But Not Really That Kind, @baapi-makwa who’s Insta link is here. An Ojibwe artist working almost exclusively with ink and pens, there’s a link to his Patreon in his bio as well

Kiamichi who is on and off tumblr as @mahtheyzhawey and can be found on Instagram here and is an amazing beadwork artist from the Ponka and Chahta Nations. She made my sweet ass piece with the big ol coyote medallion got me lookin like my cousin on Tribal Council and shit

The Cauldron & The Crown (Instagram link with a link to the shop in the bio) - BlackNDN Tsalagi jewelry maker whomst is on here as well but tbh I can only remember their personal blog and not their arty blog which is my fault but to keep it a hunnid, @crouchingtiger-hiddennegro is funny as hell and I have no room in my heart for anything else

Needle Knot And Thread (Instagram link) - May’s a textile artist from the Tsalagi Nation and makes such dope lil embroidery samples, earrings, patches, and quilt squares n stuff! There’s a link to an etsy shop in the bio

Ali Watson (Instagram link) - an Oglala Lakota jewelry maker who’s also a cool person! My fave pair of earrings was made by Ali! The turquoise ones with the dentalium drops; there’s a link to a main website in the bio

Panda Moon (Instagram link) - Y’all remember that dope beaded moon pin I got not too long ago with the little bat dangle? The homie Jennifer made it! She’s Southern Cheyenne and beads jewelry and pins. She could REALLY use the capital right now as she’s in a financially dire situation having recently escaped a horrible situation. If you don’t want to buy anything from her which, why wouldn’t you but that’s none of my business; there’s a link to her GoFundMe on her bio too!

Project 562 (Instagram link) - Matika Wilbur from Swinomish and Tulalip Nations. Now, she’s a photographer so this isn’t strictly the kind of art that we’re discussing BUT I feel it’s super important to include her because Project 562 is about photographing Indigenous People BY an Indigenous Person FROM an Indigenous perspective. It’s about reclaiming imagery, narrative, direction, and power that was written for us by the Olde Timey white ethnographers like Edward S Curtis

I have DEFINITELY forgotten people on this list and if any of y’all who know I fuck witcha the long way come across this and don’t see yourself on here, know that I am sorry, that was unintentional I can only blame it on the fact that I’m tired as hell and I got the Brain Rot at the best of times

I commissioned the wonderfully talented Olga (@benaya-trash) to draw a scene from It Came from the Trees as a birthday present for @whatshouldntbe. I am so happy with how it turned out :)

Sheshe, I hope you like this! I wanted to properly thank you for all the hard work you’ve put in throughout the years. This story is something really special, no doubt about it. Happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day 💕

“They’re facing the windows with closed, hanging blinds that extend from left to right, rocking gently from the air circulating around the room in a side to side sway. Along the edges of the window, Stiles can see the glowing flashes of lightning. The dim light coming in is pretty deceiving because though it still looks to be dark outside, he’s mindful of the pitter patter of the rain hitting the glass, which means that the clouds are too thick for sunlight to pass through. He tries to glance around from his position to locate a clock but his line of sight is very limited. He turns very slowly, and very carefully, putting his back to the windows so he’s facing Derek completely. His dark hair is slightly unkempt from sleep but not overly so, and his thick eyebrows twitch together in no exact pattern. His eyes are moving slowly under his eyelids, making his lashes brush against his slightly pink cheeks while his lips sag into a peaceful frown. Something indescribable spreads through Stiles’s chest, making his magic stir, and he can’t help but to think about how beautiful Derek is. It kind of makes him breathless. If Stiles lets himself, he could almost lose himself to the desire of wanting to kiss Derek. He doesn’t though. He swallows it down until he’s not wrestling with it and he let’s his magic roam freely when it presses at him desperately for it. He knows it won’t go far, and he’s right. As soon as it escapes him in a flash of blue light, it floats and settles over Derek like an ethereal mist, encasing him with excited affection. He watches as his magic splits itself into a dozen small ethereal blue butterflies, sitting on different points of Derek’s body, like in his hair, on the tip of his nose, his shoulder, his hip or his arm. They flap their tiny wings and float around him, jumping from limb to limb as though Derek is the perfect flowerbed.”

Game On by stilinskisparkles (1/1 |  6,391 | PG13)

Derek first sees him from across the quad four days into fall semester. He’s sitting on one of the long benches, a marker pen in his mouth, grinning at something the kid lounging on the bench beside him is saying. When he laughs properly he pulls the pen out and throws his head back, his neck a long, lean line Derek is entranced by. He flicks the page in his book and highlights something, tossing the cap up in the air and catching it with his teeth.
Derek Hale—the Incredible Meat that Thinks—needs a math tutor. Stiles Stilinski needs something that will look better on his college applications than ‘passable D&D Dungeon Master.’
It’s a match made in heaven. Er, right?
Derek gets in an accident and loses a few years of his memory; suddenly everything is different— he’s not a freshman loser anymore, but a popular senior, captain of the basketball team, a shoo-in for prom king, too, and he should have everything he’s ever wanted— except he doesn’t seem to be friends with Stiles anymore.

A Cunning Plan by yodasyoyo (17/17 | 32,737 | PG13)

Stiles has a plan to get Lydia Martin to notice him. Derek is not impressed.

Kingdom By The Sea by kilaem (1/1 | 4,009 | G)

Lydia grabs his arm and pulls him down in the seat next to her. “When the hell did you find time to bag a guy like Hale?”
“We’re friends,” Stiles feels his face heat up, and then the team are running out and Derek sees him and smiles. His blush gets worse.
“Oh really?”
“Our moms were friends, okay? We’ve been in diapers together.”
“I thought you two hated each other.”

Landslide by reillyblack (8/8 | 25,528 | R)

Beautiful? Check. Dismissive? Check. Hated him? Double check.
Stiles was doomed to develop a crush of epic proportions.

Parallels by inatshej (1/1 | 21,299 | NC17)

Stiles slowly pulls in a mouthful of curly fries, dumbly focused on the task. “It’s weirdly homoerotic how you do this,” muses Derek, eyeing him. Stiles chokes and Derek’s lips curl up into an almost smile. It’s so easy to get the reaction he wants from Stiles. “Yeah, it’s disgusting, Stilinski,” says Jackson, looking at the boy with distaste. Derek turns to him, letting his eyebrows rise. “And who asked you, Whittemore?” Jackson glances at him, surprised. “I’ve just agreed with y-” “No one cares,” Derek interrupts him. “Fuck off.”
