Hi, Nice to see you here. My blog name here is @perpetualcosmos, you can call me Vika informally. I am tarot reader, dice reader, lenormand reader, etc. I am also a beginner in astrology, not a professional (as of yet).

But yeah, I hope you like my blog and if you have any requests - you can always put it in the "Let's discuss" section of the blog. I will also post some POC readings as well from time to time, along with mood boards <3

HOPA Games Representation

This message is for Big Fish and the gaming companies it represents. I’m a queer woman who enjoys playing HOPA games, but is disappointed to see NO LGBT+ representation in them. I understand it would difficult for companies working in places that are hostile towards LGBT+ people to include some (e.g. Russia), but would request that y’all have companies that aren’t make an effort to include us. I shouldn’t have to resort to headcanons to see people like me in HOPA games. 

Furthermore, I would like express disappointment in the paltry amounts of POC representation in HOPA games. Some of said representation may have been problematic. 

In a nutshell please try to do better representation wise and hire more POC and LGBT+ people to work on your games.

god. white adjacent poc who defend racism drive me b@tshit! my dude, the whites dont actually want you, so why are you doggedly attempting to earn approval points by telling them that appropriation is kool, fun, and completely ok? do you honestly think that by surrendering an aspect of your culture to white appropriation, that you’ll attain some manner of magical immunity to racism and violence when the supremacists come knocking at your door, because you defended them and told them it was ok to steal and disrespect cultural practices and symbols? 

also, who tf died and made you the token spokesperson for an entire marginalized culture? (esp. with things that are shared between cultures that have historically overlapped and mingled – it isn’t really your place as an individual to give permission to white people to appropriate smth.! if it isn’t from your culture (or entirely from your culture alone) or the same thing/something very similar belongs to neighboring cultures (possibly as a product of historical interaction and cultural overlap, like e.g. henna,  or maybe the wearing of feathers in a specific manner amongst various indigenous groups  (all for different purposes but it isn’t the place of one person to sign over Permission for whites to wear ceremonial headdresses of that type), then it isn’t something that you alone can actively “give away” to white people. 

white adjacent poc who defend the actions of whites who are guilty of cultural appropriation are the reason that marginalized identities are literally made into halloween costumes and fashion accessories. 

this also contributes to the idea that poc aren’t as worthy to be white equals; like we have to “earn our place” by actively giving/surrendering to white people something of ours for them to use/benefit from (and this leads to white artists using sacred/culturally-specific imagery and profiting off it immensely, while creators from that very culture get approximately nothing) which is also not a good look bc we shouldn’t have to “earn” equality as it’s a basic fucking human right but ok 

i understand that in some cases, this is driven by a desire for representation and to be seen/appreciated by white people, but this isn’t the correct route to be taking, here. if you want to share your culture, how abt finding somebody who, idk, actually fucking respects and genuinely appreciates both you and said culture first? idk man just a Thought
