An old vashwood wip im not sure i'll ever finish (i started writing this while stampede was still airing), but i rediscovered it today and liked what was there enough to share it at least 🙈

Very tired of other Americans forgetting that other countries exist. Moron behavior.
Yeah like look I get that Tumblr is an American centric website and that ofc people are going to care more about issues in their own country but like there's something about Americans in particular that they forget that other countries exist 😭
