Oh SHIT I never. I never thought but. Its Goodsir who stops Silna from getting the charms she needs to, like, inherit her fathers position... The Tuunbaq one n that yken? Like he tries, he does, but... Its Goodsir that brings him in to die in the ship instead of beneath the sky, and its Goodsir that ensures those charms are lost, and there is really no innocence in imperialism, no innocence in colonialism, its violent in every possible respect that they don't let the people who actually fucking live there take the lead, huh

#as i argued at Terror Camp (2021)#goodsir's culpability is not an accident#it does not stem from a place of a few cultural misunderstandings#but illustrates the inability of his liberal imperialism to meaningfully engage with the other#the liberal impulse to assume familiarity dooms them#not a little 'whoopsie' moment on goodsir's part (via @veganthranduil)
