Very well said. Especially for the time we’re in where it’s not allowed to have a different opinion or perspective and those who do are canceled.
"The outside world is black and white, with only one color dead."
—Peter Gabriel, "Biko" ('Melt', 1980).
@dystopiandream20 It is rather deep. The quote is from a song, "Biko" by Peter Gabriel. The song is about the reactions of the world to the death of South African Black Apartheid abolitionist Stephen Biko, who was forcibly arrested and beaten to death by four police officers in a Port Elizabeth prison. The line "The outside world is black and white" represents the separation of blacks and whites at the hands of South African apartheid, whereas "with only one color dead" represents the unjust deaths of many of the black majority at the hands of the corrupt white minority government.
So, for those who are here specifically for Star Fox content, I am actually starting a project that is moving away from fanfiction and into original content.
The working title for my next story is "The Spymaster's Gambit." Ooo, what a tease!
I just realized this meant an abandonment of Star Fox.... I was too dumb at the time to see it.

Anyone who is interested in joining the Star Fox Recanonization Project team, I encourage you STRONGLY to join the Discord server! I am starting to do Live-Writes there, where I will write stories for the project live on stream, while talking and getting to know you!
Of course, there is no obligation to attend, or even to join. But it is most definitely encouraged!
