Spirit: Stallion of The Cimarron & the Indian Boarding Schools/Residential Schools allegory
Holy shit!
Was this intentional?
Considering the rest of the film’s heavy anti-colonization messaging, the main antagonist being heavily modeled on & inspired by General Custer, the other main (human) protagonist being a Native man (& the fort is where Spirit meets Little Creek), yes, most likely
YES. It was 100% intentional. I highly recommend reading up on the making of this film. There was an incredible amount of care that went into the development.
They had Lakota consultants for the project, especially regarding the use of the Lakota language in the film (which is used sparsely, but when used is accurate).
It’s par for the course now to consult people belonging to a culture for projects representing it these days (i.e. Moana, Frozen 2, etc.) but it certainly wasn’t when Spirit came out in 2002.
This film is allegorical to its core.

Maids, cleaners, janitors, and sanitation workers are all the most important people of civilization by far. Even 12 hours without them is VERY noticable and they simply need to be highly compensated for it
'Six AM', 1930 - William Wolfson
Everybody says "you don't want to grow up to be a janitor" until the janitors go on strike and suddenly the building becomes a disaster area because nobody is used to picking up after themselves.
They say "you don't want to grow up to be a garbage man" until the sanitarion workers go on strike and the trash starts piling up on street corners.
People pretend that these jobs are unimportant so they can pay them shit, but they are absolutely vital to the socities we have built.
so guys turns out that being raised by queer people alienates me from the queer experience. probably not a good thing
i genuinely have not experienced most of the "defining" moments yall talk about.
i never came out to my parents because my parents never assumed i was cishet.
i never did an "am i gay?" quiz because i knew the answer didn't matter, really.
i never "found out" about trans people, my parent has identified as gender neutral my entire life.
i never cried or even felt any big emotions when i found out i was queer. it was just like huh. cool.
my point here is not that i'm sad about having grown up in a queer-friendly enviroment. my point is that the fact that i don't relate to queer experiences as a queer person might imply that we still define queerness based on suffering.
i'm not saying that queer people who have suffered should stop talking about it. all i'm really saying is that if you want to define queerness based on joy instead of misery, you have to accept that queerness is not a big deal to everybody. you have to accept that not every queer person is going to relate to "queer experiences".
At the end of the day, that ^, feels like what a lot of us have been fighting for. A world were it is no big deal. And I'm so happy someone has already gotten to experience that.
reading about a person growing up queer without the suffering of disconnect like
like we fucking did it we made it
A few sketches on MK1. I draw during breaks from work, give me strength.
These are gorgeous, I’m feral 🩵🩵🩵

[ Wyll, Blade of Frontiers ]

Why I Adore MK1 Reptile (A Small Thread)
I really love and adore the fact that Reptile is having such a good life in this new timeline. For once, not 99% of his intros are people finding him repulsive, hideous, or gross...
Do you ever have moments that can be summed up by this image?
holy shit the new unity pricing plan
if I understand correctly...
- developers have to pay a fee per install
- even if the game is pirated
- even if they started development years ago
but does this mean one machine installing a thousand times costs money? does this mean currently released unity games have to pay as well? is there any clause for what happens if the installs are done as a malicious campaign, or does this just give unity a blank check to bankrupt any developer they want if they set up a rack of machines doing malicious uninstalls and installs?
cult of the lamb is deleting their game entirely on january 1st 2024 in response to the unity fees. if you want this game buy it now
Love them✨
