Okay apologies for hopping on tag trending train but I have an important request.
If you don't know about the history of Aboriginal genocide in Australia, watch this program.
It's a very very hard watch but one that is important.
If you're outside of Australia, make sure to set your VPN to Aus. You may also need to set an acount for SBS but it's free viewing.
I would also recomend most of SBS's docos through NITV, as they're the National Indigenous broadcast station.
A little update on the warnings before I forget. I'm a little pressed for time so this is from my DM's with someone I've shared with.
I just wanted to give a heads up that the show contains footage of a mourning ceremony (with the grievers's permission from what I remember). There is also a segment where stolen remains are returned to their families but there is no appearence of the remains themselves on screen. From what I can tell/remember these scenes are treated with care and gravitas but I don't think I can be the one to say whether they were treated appropriately. Anything on colonialism is a hard watch, but this doco particularly follows on the unglamourised brutality of the frontier wars as well the lack of recognition on the wars from the Australian government/military and from the wider Australian public. That's on me for not disclosing that properly in the post.
Don't know if you're accepting drawing requests (if not then just ignore this ask), but if you are then I'd love to see Marine Biologist in a beautiful dress!
The reactions from heroes in indentured hurt so much, thats genuine horror from what they unknowingly have worn. Hawks shaking and throwing up is so :C
But man, I'm in love with the idea of heroes wearing plainclothes for a while as protest. If I knew how to draw I'd make fanart for that, i love plainclothes superheroes
Ah thank you! I wouldn't be surprised if this AU's Hawks joined the league for real, honestly.
The plain clothes protest gets a lot of press when All Might, retired but still active (no reveal in this au, he just quietly retires after Kamino) posts images of him and Izuku, the media darling quirkless boy who manifested a quirk from the trauma of it all, posed side by side, in plain clothes in front of might tower with about 2 dozen other pro heroes. It's an incredibly powerful image and is used a lot during media coverage.
my mum asking, half joking but a tiny bit suspicious if ive gotten into a cult because she's perplexed by seeing me lookin at men all the time lately 😭
