Have fun with this yall! And just a few reminders from his main bio post;

!DO NOT REPOST OR USE WITHOUT EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM ME, THE ARTIST OF THIS PIECE!

I've noticed a lot of videos & posts on stolen smiling critters ocs used in content farms and 'made HD through AI'. I do not approve of my art being used this way, that's why I am setting a boundary now. If you wish to feature him in anything just feel free to ask! I'm more than likely to be okay with it, but please do ask first.

Hi, I'm currently writing a story set in the 1800s America, Oklahoma, and one of the characters is a two spirit person.

I was wondering how to best write a character like that, what I should be careful about, the details etc, despite doing extensive research on the history of it all.

I'm also questioning if I, as a non native person, should even be writing characters like that or if it's seen as offensive and it should be best for me to delete the character.

Thank youuu

I always have a hard time answering specific wide open questions because the question has so my layers it’s hard to give an answer that makes sense. Two spirit is a modern term so writing a two spirit character who is from Oklahoma in 1800 is gonna be totally different. And Oklahoma tribes during the 1800s? are you writing about the trail of tears? I’d be really careful about that territory and being mindful of that trauma. I don’t want to tell people no about writing characters because I appreciate the time and research into native history but it comes down to are you representing a people and whether your adding to the pile of negative depictions.

But when it comes to two spirit characters making it clear it’s a gender or sexual identity is important, gender back then was heavily occupational and sexuality when it came down to labels was "they like/are married to the same/opposite sex" we didn’t have "official labels" (like gay or lesbian ex.) and I am coming from a view of someone who is Arikara and Lakota, I have no idea if tribes in Oklahoma or during this time tribes who were forced out of the south had terms for gender or sexual identities. Two spirit originates from a Ojibwe term and that areas beliefs and can be very different or similar depending on how that other tribes interprets their genders or sex.

I don’t have a clear answer or advice for you because it’s hard and is a very loaded topic but when it comes to these topics leave your western ideas of gender at the door.

If theirs any miscommunication please ask or read it again or a couple times

you know that post that's like "if thinking naruto would be proud of you for brushing your teeth gets you to brush your teeth go for it" well today i texted my friends and asked them to pretend to be wizards sending me on a grand quest to eat lunch and buy hand soap and it worked so well i put a load of laundry in and did the dishes too so. i don't know what the lesson is here but maybe give that a try

Sometimes it’s very obvious when the person just wants free art of their ocs.

Let me make this clear, I don’t mind people making ocs for Space Riders, in fact I encourage it, however, what I don’t appreciate is people making it and think they’re ENTITLED to me drawing their ocs (that are sometimes obviously tracing my art work) into the comic. That is not how I function, the more you ask? The more I’ll ignore your request
