SCREAM QUEENS ARCHIVE VOL. II
Finally!!! We finally compiled a list of every single band that we have ever played on Scream Queens. The bands are sorted by genre from punk to darkwave to noise and everything in between. YOUR band might be on this list. Your best friend’s band might be on there too. Pretty much all the music we play on our show are bands and performers who are fronted by, fully comprised of, or include queers and/or women. 90% of this list is going to be that way, so no more sifting through the riot grrrl or queercore tags on last.fm for you! The purpose of this is too give y’all access to these names all in one place, so you can go discover freaky, underground, or unnoticed music yourselves. The list is after the “keep reading” cut below Annika and Gina toasting to you, enjoy!
EDIT: This list is all the darkwave, minimal synth, industrial, noise, experimental, assorted pop, electroclash, synth punk, and digital hardcore that couldn’t fit in the original post because tumblr said it was “too long.” Help get this thread get as many notes as the other one!!!

ALL THE BANDS NOW HAVE LINKS
It’s a really good time to be an Avatar fan right now, with a LOT of content coming our way soon. So much that it’s hard to keep track of…
So here’s a classic korranews masterpost with everything you need to know.
⛰️🔥🌪️🌊 The Road Ahead: an Avatar mega update
September 2018
First up, in case you missed it, the following recent-ish stuff is already out!
- All three parts of The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars graphic novel trilogy
- The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena, a super cool table top game with detailed figurines of a bunch of the characters
- Secrets of Elvendale, a fantasy series on Netflix animated by Studio Mir
- Pins!!! Check their online store because there’s about a million new ones (I need to make a whole masterpost just for that…)
- The trailer for The Dragon Prince, a new animated fantasy series from the head writer of ATLA
- The 2018 Korra FCBD comic
- ATLA in true 1080p HD on Blu-ray and digital download!!!!!
And coming soon…
Imbalance
A new ATLA graphic novel trilogy, with a brand new writer and artist! The story covers a burgeoning bender-nonbender conflict in an industrial town, a very intriguing potential first link to the founding of Republic City and bridging the seventy-year gap to TLOK.
Part 1 comes out this year, on December 12th. Part 2 follows on April 16th 2019, with Part 3 expected in approximately August next year as well.
See all the detailed info we have so far, and keep up-to-date, with our #imbalance tag.
Team Avatar Tales
An anthology of comics following Team Avatar on various never-before-seen adventures! We don’t know a lot yet but this should be a very nice collection of stories.
This anthology hits shelves on January 2nd, 2019.
Turf Wars library edition
If the ATLA trilogies’ library editions are anything to go on, this volume collecting all three parts of Turf Wars should be a stunning hardcover with plenty of cool behind the scenes info, art, and extras.
You can get it on March 26th, 2019.
An Avatar’s Chronicle
This scrapbook-type release dealing with Korra looking back on her journey so far is going to be filled with gorgeous, full illustrations and posters, in-universe letters, inserts, mementos, keepsakes, photos, and more. It should also have some new stories and moments with the characters. Sounds cool!!
It comes out on May 21st, 2019.
The Rise of Kyoshi
A big surprise we very happily got hit with recently, The Rise of Kyoshi is an upcoming epic YA novel series about the origins of Avatar Kyoshi from a humble corner of the Earth Kingdom, starting her journey to legendary greatness.
It’s going to be two books, with the first hitting shelves on July 16th, 2019. When Book 2 comes is anybody’s guess, but a year later in summer 2020 is a potential ballpark.
The next Korra trilogy
This is the one we know least about, but what’s exciting is that we know it exists at all! Korra’s story isn’t over yet: we have confirmation that a new graphic novel trilogy is happening. The rumor mill says we might finally be seeing the Fire Nation, but only time will tell…
We can hopefully expect some concrete information about this at NYCC in October. As for a release date, expect at least a few months between the end of Imbalance and the start of this, so late 2019 at the earliest, but probably 2020.
Oh, and one last thing…
FUNKO POPS ARE COMING
That’s all.
⛰️🔥🌪️🌊
So there you have it, the full slate! Novels, graphic novels, comics, merch, books of all kinds… yep, it’s a good time to be an Avatar fan. (Next week in particular might have a lil something in store for you… 👀)
Who knows what else is just around the corner?! Whatever it is, it’s clear that this franchise is still going strong and won’t be stopping any time soon. Good news for us!!

Eighth Generation is what modern Native American design looks like without cultural appropriation
Louie Gong describes his company, Eighth Generation, as “a Native-owned, community-engaged small business that began when I started putting cultural art on shoes.” It’s true, in 2008, Gong began decorating sneakers and skateboarding apparel with indigenous Nooksack patterns — a move that, as a Nooksack himself, set him apart from the non-Native designers who’d been doing so for years. As demand grew, so did Gong’s ambition.
Here you go, kids!
How to procure Native-American-and-First-Nation-themed items without entitlement or cultural appropriation in one easy step.
BUY THE THINGS DIRECTLY FROM THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
Because if they’re selling these representations of their culture and being fairly compensated, you’re not appropriating, you’re appreciating. And helping good folks make a living while you’re at it.
Everybody wins.
^^^this is the difference. participate in the parts of culture that people CONSENT to sharing!! it’s that simple, if you buy directly from the source, they are creating with the idea that people outside the culture will be consuming, and can pick and choose what they are okay with you having.
the same idea as wearing traditional dress that someone of that culture gave you as a present vs. buying a knockoff version for “fashion”
I’ve used this argument for a long time as a difference between appropriation and appreciation. If you are buying directly from the people of that culture you are supporting them in keeping certain practices and talents alive. They are choosing what they share while making a living from their work. You are supporting them, while enjoying their culture. This is not only okay but it can really help people from these communities.
With appropriation, you are taking money away from the people. While mocking everything they stand for, and giving money to big companies who only care about profit, and have no understanding of the people they are stealing from.
Eighth Generation is awesome! They ship fast in addition to having gorgeous merchandise. Five stars.
I appreciate everything in this post
