We share the same wish. I'd love to have more Navajo and Algonquian folklore in my media. Some of the best and creepiest horror stories I've read/watched had some element of them and I especially love Wendigos! I think I find them particularly fascinating because I'm not American and it's so different from the mythical creatures I'm used to.
It's a shame and I actually didn't know that non-Navajo writers can't write about them, but I get it.

Point one can hurt research, but point two only applies to Navajos. Nobody is bound by the wishes of another person's religion.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, while a bunch of people I knew on the rez were fairly tickled by Alan Dean Foster's Cyber Way and generally regarded Tony Hillerman favorably, writing about Navajo culture and people as an outsider can be looked on dubiously, but especially writing about skin-walkers or something like Yébîchai would likely be condemned. But there do seem to be more Native writers out there and some of the older traditions and taboos are softening in the younger generations, so maybe you'll get your wish.

I'm going to put in a recommendation for Cherie Dimaline's Empire of Wild, which is about the Rougarou, a Métis werewolf.

Also the guy who did a sensitivity read for me is apparently working on a compilation of monsters from various Indigenous traditions. Anishinaabe and Cree really don't want outsiders writing about Wendigo, and it's important to respect that, but that doesn't mean that we can't learn (and in some cases write, but carefully and with respect and research) about creatures from Indigenous traditions.

Also also, we are fortunately in the midst of a renaissance of really brilliant Indigenous authors (Dimaline among them) so while certain subjects will likely remain off-limits, there is increasingly more weird scary fiction rooted in Indigenous storytelling.

I get this, OP. When I'm at the worst of my depression I install the game, get the mods and play The Sims for 10 hours a day for days until my mind calms down. Then I just unistall it. And then the cycle begins again. My craving for The Sims is actually how I notice that my depression is getting worse. It's been like this for 20 years now!

What are your favorite titles in the franchise?
I love The Sims 2 and 3, but can't play 3 lately because my PC is too old.

At this point, with everything that's going on in the world let alone whatever is going on in your life personally, I feel like no one gets to say how you deal with stress. Unless your methods of stress relief are hurting other people, other people should cool it.

same tbh. I can't watch tv or be on the internet without being sideswiped by a reminder of how shitty the world is right now, the only game I can blank out on is Sims. the only drawback is that our gaming computer's desk position strains my carpal tunnel. eh, I've got a brace, it's fine it'll be fine...

Eh?

[(Anonymous)]

You said it in the Secrets thread as well. And just like there I am wondering where you are seeing some huge mass of people that liked how Luke was written in TLJ. The majority of fans hated it.

[(Anonymous)]

...wasn't Ahsoka's writing off in Mandalorian anyway?

[meadowphoenix]

aren't you just arguing the relative attachment of certain characters? I mean, there's a reason for that, beyond favoritism you know. i too don't really understand how luke got from A to B in TLJ (and I would have accepted very little lmao), but episodic tv can make for more coherent and consistent characterization (especially when the medium has a specific perspective they're pushing) than 3 movies.

Well, I hope you can at least be more creative than that one rando who's butthurt that the "hilarious" troll joke that took weeks to set up didn't work because nobody cared.

My booster shot buds from yesterday: how are you feeling today?

[(Anonymous)]

I saw there were a couple of us that got our covid boosters yesterday. How are you all today? My arm is sore and swollen and I'm feeling a little achy and wiped out but its not awful. I had a similar reaction to the first vax dose and felt like crap for a couple of days afterwards so I expect this to be similar. Hope you're all faring better.
