Hey! How's it Goin? You can call us Shine - They(plural/sometimes singular)/her/any. Our birth year starts with a 1, but we're less than 1,000 years old. Almost certainly autistic. We're queer, but we're also #queueer (that's our tag for queued posts for now…) While we keep this blog mostly clean, please don’t follow if you’re under 18, or at the very least, consider blocking the #hornyposting tag if you do follow. We’re not gonna enforce this at all, but please be safe online. We live in a world filled with individuals who don’t understand plural personal pronouns so we use “I/we” pretty much interchangeably; we’re only kinda sorry if that’s confusing. Our asks are turned off right now, but they’ll be back
It’s finally finished and washed! Metroid Fusion was my first Metroid game and the Dachora and Etecoons are my favourite little guys from that game. I don’t generally enjoy horror, so young me really appreciated the cute, cuddly, friendly creatures breaking up the almost nonstop fear that game evokes. So what better way to commemorate these special friends than to make a lil 5 cm patch on my favourite shorts and embroider them onto it? If I was doing it all over again, I’d probably make the background more grey and less green so the Dachora would pop out more. The text above the patch is the name of the piece, “Save the Animals.” This is of course a reference to the speed running community’s famous phrase referring to the rescue of these same creatures at the end of the previous game, Super Metroid, which I haven’t yet had a chance to really play (I will very soon though).
Photos of the process as well as the screen cap it’s based on below the cut.
In case people don’t realize the full extent of what’s going on, we are under siege in Minnesota. I live in an affluent, majority white suburb of Minneapolis, and ICE is all over the place terrorizing people. They showed up at the library, kitted out in their Temu tactical gear, and stormed it.
The library. Please let that sink in.
They’ve pulled weapons on legal observers and physically attacked them. They’re threatening teenagers and children with death. One woman told a story at my, again, affluent, majority white suburban town’s city council meeting this week of being shoved from behind so hard that she fell down by an ICE agent, who then said to her, “Stop touching me.” A man, in tears and begging for our city government to do something to help our neighbors, described having a baton pulled on him. They’re luring people out of their workplaces with lies about “hitting someone’s car in the parking lot” and then abducting them. Citizens and legal residents are being detained. People are being racially profiled and snatched. A teenager (a US citizen) working at Target got dragged out and shoved in a car, then dumped a mile away in a Wal-mart parking lot, beaten up and crying. And all of this is after they murdered Renee Good.
I don’t emphasize the demographics of my particular suburb to say “but this shouldn’t be happening here, we have money!” but to illustrate that the Trump administration has declared war on a US state. Even if you stick your head in the sand because you’re white and won’t be directly targeted, ICE is running traffic lights, speeding, tearing the wrong way on one way streets, and causing nasty accidents because they think they’re above the law. They think it doesn’t matter who they hurt or kill, because they’re being told straight from the top that they can do whatever they want to whoever they want.
We are all under attack, and this is coming to a city near you if we don’t stand up to it. Please stand with Minnesota, as well as LA, Portland, Chicago, and every other place DHS has sent their COD cosplay gestapo. I don’t know what that looks like for you but please, please, don’t ignore this.
I live in Minneapolis. OP is not being dramatic. We will continue this fight, but please everything you can to stand with us because nobody in this country is safe if they get away with these crimes against humanity.
I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable
