How do I go about writing aquatic humans as an allegory (or w/e the right word is) for Indigenous people?

    Ah yeah you’re right, I think Namor was at one point the first mutant in the original x-men comics but now there is Apocalypse and a few other mutants that came before him.

    This may seem problematic as an idea but I think black panther 2 pulled it off in a respectful and interesting way.

    Namor (king of Atlantis) has always been a big part in marvel comics, being the first mutant. But the way he was portrayed in the movie gave him an indigenous history that made him and Atlantis as a whole a lot more interesting than he’s ever been in the comics.

    This is the song that first came to mind for me. I was only in high school but this song taught me so much. It had never been put into words to me like that. I've always carried the meaning with me and it still breaks my heart to watch the world constantly cut it all right in two.

    --Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?

    Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys Where there's one, you're bound to divide it...

    Right in two--

    I currently use the Liftoff App, I see plenty of gifs in the comments but not many as posts. Are there any apps that support in app gif posts, as opposed to links that lead to a browser site? I'm still getting the hang of this, but happy to become more a more active user.

    I wouldn't mind creating one, but thinking ahead there may be new users who are looking for certain communities but don't have the experience to create or mod one themselves.

    This could help get things going faster and may give ideas to the people that are happy to do so.

    [Request] !BirdsWithArms

    This place could use more birds.. with arms of course. Also another user requested !Relationship_Advice and !FunnyStories which would be good additions as well. !Sex may be another good community. Apologies for the multiples requests and thanks for all you do here.

    Sorry about that, still getting use to the nomenclature here.

    I've edited the post to fix it, thanks for the correction.

    But yes I was a mod previously and realized i didn't really have time to be a good one.

  • For those of us that don't want to become admins or mods. This could maybe help with growth by giving potential admins ideas for new communities. Are there any other communities you would like to see be created? I miss birdswitharms..
