#But it has like.. A lot of ethnicities

[twrambling]

I've been doing so much research on precolonial Venezuela I'm not even sure what happened afterwards F

#Meitoswords #Worst venezuelan out there!!!! 💥💥💥 #Get the diaspora maracucho that mostly lived in carabobo and Italy to do the aph Venezuela oc I'm sure that will end super well #Ok in my defence I do know about stuff during the second republic and the gran Colombia #I've just been lazy to go in depth cause I wanna write down lolo's lore in chronological order #which means first doing research on his uncle lol #I also really should work more on my designs for the venezuelan states since #I think since Venezuela is such a diverse country I'll have to use them a lot if I wanna go in depth #So far I've only designed #Miranda / Caracas / Vargas/Guaira / Zulia / Bolivar / Cojedes / Aragua #I've done a rough draft for Carabobo and Merida #But I don't really like them #Tbh I gotta re draw them all I only reallyy like Zulia Caracas and Miranda and also Aragua she's cute but I can do better #My problem is that I never know when to make them be born lol are they a province a city or a state? No idea #I've also made colonia tovar cause ehm fumny #I wanna design a few diaspora communities to #Doing too much akwbwksnw #I also gotta look a lot into estado amazonas because it's known as the 'indigenous state' #But it has like.. A lot of ethnicities #So I think I'll design each indigenous nation and then together they represent the state #So I gotta get to that to #I'm feeling school so hardd

i'd appreciate reblogs <3

#polls #latin america #THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN EATING AT ME #hope this doesnt come off as a latin america vs diaspora thing. it's not! #i just thought might be more interesting to put it this way #i'm making this poll because sometimes i'll see people from like... africa or asia refer to themselves as ''gringos'' #in the context of latin america #AND IT'S ALWASY SO WEIRD TO ME. it just doesn't feel like it fits #so like... do you use ''foreigner'' x ''gringo'' interchangably? #to me a gringo is anyone from europe/north america regardless of ethnicity. it's more of a cultural thing #but only if they carry very heavily that... european/NA mentality #so a lot of diaspora for example i wouldnt consider gringos #because they don't have that level of... hm how do i say #innocent ignorance #that can be either endearing or extremely annoying

scrolling through blogs on here like are you a misinformed wacko or lying about being jewish

#jews are 0.2% of the population #i have never seen so many hamas supporting genuine anti zionist as in no israel at all jews dont belong there jews Ever #and i usually run in pretty far left circles #i keep finding either explicitly or vaguely pro hamas lefty jews and its so ?? like they would not spare you just bc youre a sell out #lots of denial of ethnic tied to israel or why israel even exists in the first place #and complete dissolution is the best solution bs which is the equivalent of a tantrum and not anything that can be realistically worked with #this is not saying that all of these jews are lying about being jewish bc every group has their sell outs and outliers that don’t understand #what theyre talking about; being a minority does NOT make you the expert on the minority #but it has to be … some of them #jumblr #jewish

there are a lot of goyim esp from other Marginalised backgrounds that are taking the wrong lessons away from the fact that it turns out that a group of primarily socialist/communist people from an extremely oppressed cultural group with deep ties to an area are in fact more than capable of founding a regional settler colonial ethnostate in that area, a state that was capable of the mass dislocation and then intergenerational imprisonment of hundreds of thousands and then millions of people, and that while many non Jews feel morally pure and free of this ideology, the reality of the situation should terrify everyone

#Like a lot of you would have gotten into it #I have a longer post in me about how tziyonut is probably the colonial ideology most reflected in a bunch of decolonial circles tha #That consider themselves free of this ideology #But if there’s anything I’ve learned in the last week it’s that people take ethnic signposting #Over actual considerations of ideology #Like I think a lot of the weirdness around tziyonut is the fact that people see it as the ultimate big bad in violent ideologies and als #And also something wierd and jewy? #They can feel comfy decrying an ideology that isn’t *theres* #But digging into the ideology and history that is the profound moral tragedy of how a specific plan put forward for the liberation of on #Oppressed people ended up in the mass oppression and displacement of another #Yields a situation that is much more morally taxing and uncomfortable for everyone #I’m seeing stuff about how an oppressed people has right to limitless force and there are no civillians in the enemey #That would have done absolute numbers with the haganah #Like. It’s that I would never - #You don’t know what you would do actually #In those situations. You don’t know #And furthermore the signposting over ideology means that the same people who feel the need to harass every Jew they know are often r #Reblogging stuff ripped out of the logic book or the exact ideology they claim to revile once removed #From a Jewish context

the thing abt mizu is that she is extremely non-binary in such a genderqueer way that she has homoerotic energy w men and extremely sapphic energy w women.

#i know this is gross simplification bc mizu's relationship to womanhood is quite a few layers of complicated #bc she has never been allowed to be human let alone woman in a society where mixed race is seen as a greater condemnation than womanhood #and a lot of her dressing up as a man is to save herself from the reach of said misogyny which wont let her be addressed as a woman #but sure be dehumanized as one. #but it is funny to think of how homoerotically charged her interactions w taigen are. as opposed to her interactions w women. w akemi. #i have not finished the show yet i've still quite a few eps to go. but god her being mixed race has been so incredibly isolating. #she struggles w intimacy she feels like she has to do everything alone bc who in the world wouldnt hate her? would not turn her in for coin #her easily clockable ethnicity has challenged both her ability to live w womanhood #and be a part of womanhood in a society where women are treated so poorly. #anyway this is a joke post simply to comment on how mizu's chemistry w taigen is as opposed to mizu's chemistry w akemi #i'd beseech you to not take it seriously. like i said. its a gross simplification. and this is a joke post. #im watching blue eye samurai and the art style is pretty cool

may i ask if you're white and native? like ndn? or are you indig to somewhere else?

white and native yep! i've talked about it a few times but my mom's side of the family is from the Blackfeet Nation in montana. dad's side is completely white. so im Scottish/French/Welsh/Blackfeet. i feel like most of my followers r on the same page about like, the social construction of race and ethnicity and stuff but i want to be very clear that as a white native person i benefit from white privilege, i am always read in the world as white, i have a responsibility + obligation to actively confront and dismantle the ways i am complicit in systems of oppression, both within the larger world and when it comes to racism within native communities, and that me saying i'm native is not denying any of that. i am white and at the same time, i am native bc my mom is native and my grandpa is native and my great grandma was native etc etc and my connection to community + culture + generational trauma. sorry for typing out a paragraph in response to this but in the past many people on tumblr have been like, incapable of understanding what i mean when i say i am white and native and insist that i must just be "white passing"(which is a misuse and appropriation of language coming from the context of antiblack racism and Jim crow america). so yeah. i don't talk about being native a lot on here bc a lot of it is like, incredibly personal stuff that tumblr is NOT at all the audience for

#personal #asks #also i have a stalker so i don't love to give out tons of personal information about me or my location or shit like that #but my grandpa grew up on traditional lands. my mom has visited our relatives on the reservation. #there has been a shit ton of assimiliation in my family. i have relatives who survived torture from residential schools #so just. it's a lot of stuff that i don't want to talk about to a general audience on tumblr lol #besides the basics #sorry for typing so much out but tumblr has been notoriously bad at understanding how to talk about race and like #incapable of understanding how my race is white while my ethnicity is french scottish welch blackfoet and how i am indigenous and white.

how does kevin look like to you?

so now is the part where i reveal that i'm genuinely just insane about jean moreau and i don't have that specific of headcanons for anyone else but i have something else for you... come sit with me

i think wymack and kevin look very similar but not in a way that's noticeable at first. same features, different face shape, different coloring. something like that. zoom in on just their face & realize its identical but you wouldn't pick up on it from far away. really ppl only realize it once they actually have reason to look (cue allison lining them up next to each other and going my GOD. how did we not realize! but why would they have realized before??? You know??). in my head wymack is very average height, past his prime, works out for strength, not appearance, the works. which adds another layer to nobody realizing & also somehow makes it easier to see him as kevin's father, not his coach

#this generally goes for all the rest of the characters too a lot of my hcs are relative to other characters like i think neil by the end has #a california accent bc part of being on the run was fitting in & so he picks up accents almost accidentally just by talking to people #and he talks to andrew the most #andrew from california #neil california accent :) #asks #aftg #kevin day #+ addendum that in my head wymack is pacific islander & kayleigh is ethnically irish so kevin being mixed also adds to ppl Not Putting It #Together even when its obvious when u look closer

curious question:

what is your favourite club that came with get together? why is it your favorite club?

If you have created clubs yourself, what kind of club did you create?

#nonsims #let's discuss #i don't think i have a fav #but i have played a lot with the paragon sims #and have had sims be invited to the avant gardes club #however it annoys me a bit how often they need to use the bathroom #i created a poker club for bob pancakes where he gathers all the dad in his man grotto to play poker #bob eliza nancy her husband bella and mortimer are part of an old club named copperdale class 00 #i imagine they were a friendgroup bavk when they went to copperdale and decided to stay in contact after graduating... #they friend group exist but a lot of them have grown apart #then i made a voidcritter club with some kids #and a parent club for moms who like to meet #gossip about other parents have their kids and toddlers interact and share parenting tips #and jesminder has a small private cooking group with one of my ocs... they make ethnic delicacies together #and because it annoys me how most sims have no relationships outside theor family and household i made career groups so sims with careers #would at least know their coworkers

never been so hyped for a character release until i saw this guy 🥺

#genshin impact #tighnari #my art #genshin art #mangastudio #also if anybody has any solid advice as to what he should look like #like..ethnicity/features-wise #pls let me know 💖💖 #bc i know i see a lot of ppl say sumeru chars shouldn't be pale #but i know nothing of either the lore nor the irl places the region is based off of #and i don't want them to just be vaguely 'ethnic' #tighnari i saw ppl say his name is arabic so i tried to make him look as such..but idk how accurate that it #*is so any help would be appreciated 🥺 #art

Why does everyone in DS9 do this thing where if they're on a ship with somebody who is another species or ethnicity they insist on playing classical music from that species/ethnicity as some sort of intended kind gesture? Like imagine if you were on a roadtrip with somebody from another cultural background and halfway through you were like "Oh I know you probably want to listen to the traditional music of your people, so I brought some along!"

#O'Brien just did this with Keiko which is especially awkward because #he's been married to this woman for like 6 fucking years and *has* to know more about her musical tastes than that at this point #like i'd give the show the benefit of the doubt that she personally just happens to really like japanese classical a lot except #what are the chances of literally every character of every race and ethnicity feeling the same way about their culture's classical music? #its just weird man

one thing that has stuck with me from the latest kerfuffle i got into on twitter is like. there was one person arguin w one the homies that my bio stating i was white isnt accurate because white people cant be people of colour or a poc so putting 'white' in my bio was the reason people wouldnt acknoweldge Im mixed. and like. that shit has stuck w me

cuz to me that seems fucked up towards mixed ppl like me who have that white background mixed with some non-white identity. but thinking about it i can ABSOLUTELY understand the idea of it due to the notion that white people cannot be poc. cuz that sentence in itself is SENSIBLE. like oh Obviously white people cannot be in the non-white community, so therefore mixed people 'cannot' identify as white????

but i keep thinking about it cuz. wow that shit really pointed out an issue that is so obviously present when it comes to recognizing and acknowledging mixed people like me. Because regardless of how much of a Person Of Colour i am or how much aboriginal background i got, i look very white. I have possibly more typically white experiences than typically aboriginal ones. I have blue eyes as when i was a kid I had naturally blonde hair and there was the joke that i was the whitest in my family because of it. which despite the joke is pretty damn true. people dont see me on the street and say oh thats an indigenous person, and the extremely rare times someone sees me as non-white its usually another indigenous person yknow.

I think its like. its kinda led to this revelation of mine i suppose. On one hand i've come to terms with the idea that i am Aboriginal AND white in the sense that i cant just pick either or as both aspects of me have influenced my entire existence as a mixed person. but its really hit home on why i've struggled so much with seeing myself as being in the non-white community or recognizing myself as a person of colour. because the only 'requirement' of being a poc is Not being white. but does that instantly eliminate all mixed white and non-white people like me from being anything other than white? does that not just further the notion that mixed ppl have to just 'pick a side'? Wouldnt decrying my white identity to be a poc then just diminish my own experiences with white privilege and passing as white?

#ask to tag #idk i think its like. when it comes to racial groups and racialized peoples it tends to seem more #black and white (lmao) #in the sense that ethnicity and race isnt something changeable therefore it is treated as more concrete aspects of identity #rather than the fluidity of gender or sexuality when it comes to identity #but in actuality. its really not so easy with race either #like the lines between races and even between that of being white and being non-white isnt so clear #like ive spent years feeling guilt for my identity. as a kid i tried to get rid of my indigenous identity #and somewhat more recently i felt guilty for being white #and its only recently ive resolved that i can be both #but i hadnt explicitly thought about how much of an outlier that makes me #but honestly with mixed white poc i feel its worse to try and limit or get rid of the white aspects of us #like we cannot ignore how it has benefited us or how our general ease as being seen as white has made our lives easier #like i always think of a friend i had in highschool who was also native #but she had the more traditional features of darker skin and black or dark hair unlike me #and we bonded a lot over our aboriginal identity #but the fact she experienced more blatant descrimination than me was a constant factor in our relationship #like it is not something us white poc should not ignore! our expiriences with both privilege and descrimination is unique and unavoidable #i feel the idea of you cannot be white and a poc really tries to bury the privilege of that though. and thus the varied experiences #idk man i been thinkin bout it a lot #like maybe the inclusion of white people who are mixed should be noted in non-white circles more. because of this weird #inbetween we have

"cleopatra faced oppression" the fuck she did oh my god i hate y'all so much

#personal #i thought we couldn't get any stupider than 'cleopatra was culturally black' because like....no #because a) someone's idea of 'culturally black' varies from country to country #and b) what an american for instance would consider 'culturally black' is based on idea that's at max a hundred years old #but no cleopatra the literal queen descended from an incestuous colonizer dynasty ruling one of the richest countries on the mediterranean #did not 'face oppression' where was she facing oppression she OWNED SLAVES #the closest that woman ever came to facing oppression was like maybe the last week of her life when octavian was in alexandria #but even then not really??? #and they're so clearly not talking about any gender discrimination that she dealt with because this whole thing #is a defense of that stupid 'no cleopatra was black actually we promise' #god i'm getting anti cleopatra pilled by ahistorical bullshit i'm gonna end up hating her before the year is out at this point #also can we please focus on like any other egyptian queens ever #why's it always cleopatra's macedonian ass in the spotlight egypt has thousands of years of history #and a good chunk of those thousands of years did actually have female primary rulers #who were ethnically egyptian to boot #like goddamn there's more to egypt than just the cleopatra show and a lot of it is much more interesting

you’re thinking about how easily massive numbers of the wildly antisemitic tankies would have been pulled into the actual political tenets of (esp early to mid 20th century) armed Zionism and you’re laughing?????

#This folks is why analysis of ideology and the structures of an ideology is important #Rather than just random ass ethnic signposting #A lot of people see Zionism as something suspicious and jewy that had to do with Jews - I don’t like them #But the reality of Zionism as an initially distinctly leftist branch of political ideology that sought to liberate an oppressed people #With that tiny niggly wiggly issue of the fact people might #Already have lived on that land???? Ohhhh boy #All these cottage core back to the land the world would be better if I could reject modernity and return to the ancient ways of Farming #Society is broken it cannot be fixed the only option is to found a New Tough society that will fix all our previous problems #And we’ll get round to it in heavily armed leftist commune farming settlements #Which we will defend with violence because any violence in the name of an oppressed people is justified and our legitimacy comes from the #Rifle!!! #The only reason you see this ideology as inherently removed and bizarre is antisemitism and the only reason you see yourself removed from i #Also antisemitism!!! #You would have done numbers in ahdut ha-avoda you would have called Ben gurion abbaleh/ #Remember: a bunch of the people who got sucked into this of ideology weren’t the *rich Republican aipac Jews*!*’ your head #They were broke often very secular Jewish leftists working dead end gig economy jobs in farms and sweatshops for whom the idea of a Brave #New World with a. Brave new culture was very appealing and liberating #It offered something new to the broken. #It’s important to talk about this stuff to talk about how it can be undone #But also. The world is not divided into the Oppressed and the Unoppressed #Your political ideology does not stop you from hurting others #No political ideology even anti capitalism or leftism is innately pure- all can harm others #No ethnic and cultural identity no matter how oppressed is free from the potential to subjugate others #No identity or ideology is greater than the right of other people to live freely #Cycles of oppression and the pyramid structure of many empires result in oppressed people harming other oppressed people #Many many goyim think that they’re removed from the logic of Zionism because they aren’t Jews because it’s something wierd and jewy #But I see a lot of the most destructive logics parroted by leftists every day

I feel like Jason becomes very protective over his siblings, like even Dick, post-reconcile with the family. Like this man is the Only Fucker that's allowed to fuck with them and make their lives difficult. He actively seeks out anyone that might mess with his family and makes their lives a living hell, and though he does do some shady shit sometimes, he'll always be cursed to care about the batfamily.

#listen idk about yall but jason being the protective second older brother fuels me #especially with the fact that like no matter what universe you look at he always carries fondness for them still even if he hates it #like even if we go by arkham knight game jason in the tapes hes still not ruthless with barbara and asks her how alfred is #and theres reluctance to do these things even though hes angry and hurt because even there his only qualms were with bruce #and he still couldnt kill him #jason throwing hands for his little siblings #jason launching a man for calling dick the ethnic-group g slur and dick having to pull him off the guy to keep him from killing him #jason biting back with words whenever some little prick is giving damian a hard time for being arabic!!! #jason has absolutely no patience for people that fuck with his family #oh my god jason asking one of the girls if they want to handle catcallers or if theyll let him do it #steph has to say no because she knows jason might accidentally kill them even if he holds back #duke doesnt need the protection but the fact that jason stands up for him even still means a lot to him #i need to shut up im talking too much #jaybirdwhistles #jason todd

normally i have a pretty easy time with first drafts of Characters. but i fucking hate Gier's now that I'm not exhausted and a Teensy bit off my shits, and I'm not even going to post the first draft of Maalik's bc they came out so bad.

I'm going to give them both another shot tonight tho and i might just ditch full body designs and figure out their faces first.

#like i have Such a strung image of Maalik #Or like strong by aphantasia standards #Hes a big man in a self propelled wheelchair #the metal bars and such are wrapped in nice ribbon because thats easier to replace when it rots than the frame itself. #he uses it because he gets winded easily and doesn't have a lot of range so Gier does a lot of pushing. They've modified the handles to #just be bare metal bars with cheap bike grips over them so they can be replaced easily. #Maalik is a stylish guy and tends to like dressing up. a button up and slacks is his shorts and flip-flops #white tie is his preferred style. but he tends to go for a lot of bright colors and prints #He has a dark beard and wears a lot of hats. I cant decide if hes black or indian I dont know Why but those are the two sorta ethnicities #indian into the middle east. Just everything from the arab subcontinent up to about turkey and over to eastern india. Thats Kinda #where his vibe feels like it is. #Like obviously hes very based on a sorta modernized big band boss guy. Someone who wouldve done numbers during the harlem Renaissance #and then for Gier. #hes long #and moldy #and thats it. #Ive got nothing but long and moldy

i hate the way people will say the most out of pocket nonsense about Latinos in the US and then act surprised when people say they’ve got some racism issues. “oh if it weren’t for the fact that people in the USA hate everyone with ancestry from Latin America, lock Latino children in cages even under democratic presidents, and regularly hop on tv to call all Latinos evil rapists and murderers, they’d all be considered white” yeah no SHIT if literally every aspect of how Latinos in the US are racialized was different, they would be racially categorized in a different way, that is a very intelligent thing to say about race relations and doesn’t at all exacerbate issues thanks you are so wise and educated and learned

#i followed someone on here that did this too. like ‘i can’t be racist against latinos bc a lot of them are white’ firstly if u start calling #italians dirty immigrants who have too many kids someone is going to rightly call u a bigot it doesn’t *matter* the race of the person if #you are purposefully engaging in bigotry against that person bc of their ethnicity! and SECONDLY #like…a lot of asians are light skinned a lot of indigenous people are white a lot of arabs look white etc etc #every group has a lot of variance bc people are varied. just bc a large swatch of arabs ‘look white’ doesn’t mean they are treated that way #it is not different with latinos. you are zeroing in on this specific group to justify your ‘i don’t hate latinos i just think they should #live with Their People and not with My People’ racism bc you think hating another minority will gain you privilege with white supremacy. #they are trying to coup several countries right now bc this country views latin america as it’s fucking war games playground do not talk to #me about privilege that latinos apparently have when my aunt was frantically telling students to keep their parents from work bc there was #a fucjing ice raid going on in the city!!!!!!!! fuck you genuinely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #rani makes text posts no one will read #also the way people will pretend like latinos are the *only* voting block of poc that vote conservative. EVERY SINGLE VOTING BLOCK DOES THIS #TO SOME EXTENT. YES EVEN YOURS SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT UP YOU MORON #COME AND ACTUALLY INTERACT WITH THE BORICUAS AND MEXICANOS AND CUBANOS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE SPOUTING OFF ABOUT THEIR WHITE PRIVILEGE #L O O K AT THE WAY THE COPS TREAT US THE GOVERNMENT TREATS US OUR NEIGHBORS *LIKE YOU* TREAT US #THEN YOU CAN RUN YOUR MOUTH
