For anyone keeping up with the Stranger Things "secret good finale" conspiracy (yes, it is just the Sherlock "secret good episode" thing with a new show.) the current theory is that tomorrow, in place of SNL, the actual finale of Stranger Things will air. They are presenting this as something plausible, and not something that Lorne Michaels would have beaten the Duffer Brothers to death over if they even suggested it.
The stranger things finale is going to drop on Martin Luther King Jr Day because Stranger Things embodies the values of MLK
Close enough. Welcome back Johnlock truthers!
As a young boy in school, Masaki Sashima would be dragged out of his classroom and beaten by his fellow students.
Masaki, now 72, was different to the other kids.
He was Ainu, an Indigenous people from the country's northern regions, most notably the large island of Hokkaido.
"During recess, the hallway door would open, and several guys would yell at me to come out," he said.
"I clung to my desk in the classroom and kept quiet.
"Everyone would surround me and beat me."
Japan has long portrayed itself as culturally and ethnically homogenous, something that some have even argued is a key to its success as a nation.
More than 98 per cent of Japanese people are descendants of the Yamato people.
But the Ainu are distinct, with their own history, languages, and culture.
But, as the victims of colonialism, assimilation, and discrimination, much of that identity has been lost.
An Ainu woman named Chiri Yukie wrote down some of her people's oral traditions into Japanese because, as a child, her people were being displaced by Japanese settlers in Hokkaido. Her language was disappearing, so she (ironically) saw translating the stories into Japanese as a way to preserve them. She died at age 19.

ALTSome of the objects from the Ainu exhibition at Japan House in London this year, showcasing traditional Ainu skills and culture. There is a campaign to get Ainu recognised as an official language, at least in Hokkaido, and small steps are happening, for example, bilingual bus stops. It reminds me of the struggle for Welsh to be revived after suppression for centuries.

Also, this is a good short ~25 minute documentary that shows Ainu people fighting to recover their ancestral bones and bodies from Hokkaido University that's worth a watch.

Is Tenna related to the Dreemurrs in any way in No Strings/Cords Attached? If so, how do they take the events of No Cords Attached?
I like the idea of human Tenna being Toriel’s adoptive brother. They grew up together and their little kid nicknames are “Tony and Tori.” (Tony from Antony Tenna) It’s perfect. Tenna went in the big shot TV executive direction and is off in Hollywood or something and Toriel is just a kindergarten teacher in their hometown. They get together sometimes like this and Tori worries over showbiz messing with him (it certainly does), and whenever Spencer comes along, young Kris thinks he’s the coolest thing since sliced bread.
Finally, an AU where big shot era Spam and Kris can interact…. I’ve drawn more I’ll post later hehe
But yeah Tori would be freaking out over Tenna being unable to get out of his mascot costume. She’d probably want to rip Spencer a new one for getting Tenna into this mess lmaoo
adhd-haver shocked once again as task they have been avoiding for 6 weeks takes 5 minutes
The problem with story concepts is that they take a while to ferment, so you think of something at 3am and you're like "wow that's fucked up" and then it sits in the back of your head for 3-12 months until it's ready and by then you're used to it so you're like "oh yeah the thing, the totally normal thing" and you write it and put it out in the world and people are like "wow that's fucked up" and you're like "what do you mean? It's literally normal?"
exiting a uquiz halfway through when it becomes clear the creator's narrow and immature world view and cultural knowledge leaves them totally unequipped to tell me which peanuts character i am with any degree of accuracy or insight
