Nuh body couldn't remind mi seh todeh ah modda tongue day? Happy International Language Day!
In honour of the day, I share a poem by the late, great Jamaican poet Louise 'Miss Lou' Bennett-Coverley.
Tumblr media
'No Lickle Twang' or 'No Little Accent' highlights the predominant attitudes of our parents & grandparents through a mother speaking to her son who has just returned to Jamaica after living in America for a while. This belief that the language of our colonisers is superior & the standard. If we spend time in developed countries the thought is that we should adopt their language and/or accent and drop our own because only then will we be 'better'. Even now, despite the popularity of our mother tongue, Jamaican Patois is generally frowned upon in school and professional settings.
Me? Mi love my modda tongue suh till.

Rating Yonic Words (Very Logical and Unbiased and Scientific and Impartial)
Vagina et al. - 2/10. Hard* "g" sound is awful. Its a chewy word. Would be better with a soft "g" like in the french vagin, but even thats like, 5/10. Also way overused to describe the whole set when its only the main hole, but its also the proper clinical word for said hole. "Vag" is slightly better but carries the sin of the father (hard "g"), and va-jay-jay is a solid 0. You just doubled the worst sound here. Its the yonic Cain.
*not actually hard, my brain is just too french, but i don't think this sound deserves to be called soft. it's a chewy g. forgive me for my lies
Vulva - 10/10. Love him. "V" sounds flow so nicely. You could sing this in an opera. Also actually refers to the whole kit n caboodle. May be a little clinical for some but we can change that. We can make it horny. You can help me make it horny. Betty Dodson would want you to help me make it horny.
Pussy - 7/10. Gets some points for being a classic, and its decent sounding. But the "s" sounds aren't the best, especially alongside the "p" sound. Its just a little too harsh and kind of juvenile. Good for a laff.
Punani et al. - 2 to 7/10. Gets cool points for being a descendant of the Akan language through Jamaican creole. Gets a range of points because I'm grouping poontang (bad word to say and hear) in with punani (a clear 7)
Labia - 10/10. Vulva's lovely twin. Another word you could sing. The "b" sound isn't offputting- it flows nicely between the elegant "L" and "ia." Again, a bit clinical, but so good to say. Labia (the word and the body part) deserve more love.
Fanny - 0/10. Pussy's worse sounding cousin. Replacing the "s" sounds with "n" removes the flow of pussy, which makes this the yonic-linguistic equivalent of going down a dry waterslide.
Cunt - 10/10. Its like a punch in a good way. Not too harsh, but makes its point clearly; a well-rounded sound. Can be comedic and horny but its not too unserious. Good mouthfeel. I'm a big cunt fan. Can also be an insult, but such is the way of sex organs. Such a versatile word.
Coochie - 4/10. Sorry to the coochie lovers out there but my god? The "ch" sound? Awful to hear. Get that out of my genitalia. Gets points for comedic use, which I respect.
Twat - 2/10. Sounds like the sound made when Batman decks some guy in the face. The "t" sounds here are just unpleasant, and when combined with "æ" it gets worse. Sorry Brits & co. </3
Clitoris / Clit - 9/10. Important organ we all know and love. Both long & short versions sound good, although I think it could be smoother. Way better clinical term than vagina, but I wish we had wider options for him.
Snatch - 3/10. I'm not a fan of the sounds at play here (once again, get "ch" out of here), but I find this word really funny. I cannot imagine this being used hornily. It sounds like the name of a delightful cryptid.
Quim - 4/10. What are you, from the 1700s? I think it sounds alright, the "q" isn't abrasive, but unless you are writing historical fiction it just doesn't sound right.
Any and All Metaphorical Words - 1/10. Never work outside of extremely horny contexts or jokes. Gets one point for extremely horny contexts and jokes.

Soo I wanted to imput my own culture on this one!
COD Men + König Dating a Jamaican Women
Tumblr media

Ghost
Tumblr media
• You take the opportunity to get your hair braided as well- seeing how for once you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it.
• It takes a lot of convincing on your part to get Simon to come meet your family. You'd been dating more then long enough and he finally agrees one day-
• However he still wears some form of mask- in his case a skull face mask that is still breathable while keeping him covered.
• Your family was a bit apprehensive of Simon of first- surprised by such a brooding figure you'd dragged with you.

• Simon enjoyed the relaxing time with your Father- The two sitting on the front patio with their drinks sipping away as they occasionally chatted.
• This day being the same, When Simon got up prepared to be dragged to a other fun active place. But instead your father waving him over to sit with him.
• Looking to you as you just nod for him to go do as he pleased-
Price

• "My Dad actually likes you-" You say in disbelief. Simon only nodding and smiling at your words.
Tumblr media

• Seemed time was lost on the both of you as John sat out in the sun far too long. Ignoring the reddening of his skin-
• Your poor Boyfriend tho-
• "Fuck-k" John mutters, wincing as he sits down with his arms held out. Your uncle laughing at him-
• You spend the evening rubbing Aloe in his skin and fanning his skin to help ease the burn.
• "Burned noice an criss Hm?" Your uncle said with a laugh making John give a fake glare at the old man.
• "Ah fuck ya you old geezer-" John winced out making the men around him laugh hard at his suffering.

Even though we are most conscious of the big, widely spoken languages like English and Chinese, most languages are spoken by a much smaller number of people. Because of the sheer number of languages in the world, something like Estonian is much more typical. To a first approximation, nobody in the world ever learns Estonian. If an Estonian person wants to talk to someone who’s not Estonian, they speak English. In the past, they might have spoken Russian. But nobody is learning Estonian. And Estonian is very complicated, with 14 noun cases and all kinds of other trouble. But as Trudgill points out, even Estonian — with its ~1 million speakers and solid K-12 education system and some broadcast media — is much more widely spoken than most historical languages. The vast bulk of human history consists of language communities that had no television or radio or even writing, speaking face-to-face mostly to other people they actually know. Communities like that are Petri dishes of linguistic innovation. When I used to host “The Weeds,” Dara Lind liked to jokingly say things like “Teds Cruz” to mean “people like Ted Cruz” modeled on the pluralization of attorneys-general. That became an inside joke that Sarah Kliff and Jane Coaston and I picked up. And Trudgill says this is how language change works in small oral communities — someone makes something up because he or she thinks it’s clever, and if other people like it, they copy it. There aren’t a lot of entertainment options, language play is fun, and there’s no influx of foreigners learning your language and needing to simplify it. So you end up developing a kind of anti-creole, with lots of weird flourishes.

this was specifically requested BY Bree, so here we go🤷🏽‍♀️
“Hood Princess” bree
For starters, I wanna just get a little background info out the way before I do anything. Bree is Bahamian, says she doesn’t experience racism, and its v likely that she has never lived outside of the Bahamas. The official language of the Bahamas is English and Haitian Creole, as many people of Haitian decent LIVE on the island. Haitian Creole derived from FRENCH, lets keep this in mind.
so first I wanna address Bree’s ignorance/marginalization of Caribbean people.
In the DC server I said “maldito mamaguevo” right after having a disagreement over…this message
Tumblr media
I thought it was obvious this was in a playful/joking manner, but maybe she took this as a personal attack/accusation. I would just like to say that if I suspected Bree abt this anon (which I didn’t because she had Honey BLOCKED for some reason during this), I wouldn’t have made a joke abt it. Not sent the SS to her. I would’ve made a mental note of it and kept it pushing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Bree first sent this message I was confused, because as you know I have Dominican family. I speak Dominican Spanish, and generally only rlly know Dominican slang that I’ve learned from my brother and his side of the family. So obvi I was confused because Bree makes it known she’s very much Bahamian, so I googled what language the Bahamas speaks and if it’s anything like Dominican Spanish !
Tumblr media
As you can see, they don’t speak Spanish…so what was the point of saying “I’m Caribbean I know what this means?” Anyone can be Caribbean…White black Asian Latino. If you’re born in the Caribbean you’re Caribbean…so why does this equate to her speaking spanish?
so naturally i went to Dalia abt it cuz even tho I myself could feel this was iffy, I wanted to ask someone else who is more submerged in Dominican culture. And Dalia said this felt iffy, because she has marginalized the Caribbean before and hopped between different dialects that are…not her own! Like Jamaican patois
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But besides that, lets address another issue w Bree before we dive into her history of supporting a miles smut writer.
As some of you may know, Bree used to refer to herself as a “hood princess” and used PLENTYYYYY of AAVE and african american culture in her works…lets break this down rq
Bree has earned herself a reputation as a rather aggressive and obnoxious blogger, doing absolutely nothing but fighting w gwiles Stans and “speaking her mind” abt things nobody really paid any attention to. She said she was a pale “natural blonde” girl (I haven’t seen shawty so idk wtf she looks like)
Tumblr media
So why does she run around claiming the title of a “hood princess” when she 1, did not grow up in an American hood, and 2, is probably white passing from her own mouth?
for black children who grew up in the hood, you know it’s nothing to brag about. It’s a low income neighborhood, a “bootleg” version of a neighborHOOD. Hence the name. It’s an incomplete neighborhood.
Tumblr media
When I had a general discussion w her about the fetishization of African American culture a week ago, she seemed mad avid to defend making the hood be your whole personality..trying to justify it by saying it “makes you think and act a certain way” which is v true! However I’ve never once tried to make myself into a sexxyred “hood princess” js cuz I grew up in a low income area. She even agreed that african american culture was fetishized, so I’m so confused as to why she was offended by my post yesterday?
Tumblr media
So as to why she’s mad…idk. When I’ve talked to her abt this issue before, and I’ve literally just taken the issue online this time as a black creator
now let’s move on to Bree’s ableism☠️
Tumblr media
I got her so mad she tried to tell me I was “half a chromosome away from a learning disability”…ok!!
But besides that, lets talk about her defending Anika!
So this summer, a popular creator by the name Anikaluv made a fic where miles had readers…nudes in his phone😭
Tumblr media
Children should not be sending, keeping, or taking nudes of themselves or anyone else. Wether that’s 14, 15, 16, 17. Just DON’T! It’s illegal, and this fic glosses over the fact that it’s a disgusting crime. Not only that, but miles mother SEES the readers nudes…so😭
Bree immediately took to defend Anika, showing her support for her and saying if we keep complaining we won’t have anything to read☠️☠️
Tumblr media
When this is Anika…and Bree DEFENDING Anika
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anika also wrote about the reader buying miles a thong?? At 15?? You don’t “read miles smut” but you sure read anikas work !
FYI…Anika was going to write about Reader and miles GRINDING in said lingerie. And Anika said she despises miles smut, and so did you! But at the end of the day that doesn’t change what you said
Tumblr media
Here’s the screenshot you wanted ms. “People are gonna do what they do”
mouthful, but there we go

Interesting facts about Sierra Leone
1. Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 is located in West Africa on the Atlantic coast and bordered by Guinea and Liberia.
2. The country takes its name from the Portuguese explorer Pedro de Sintra who named the country “Serra Leoa” (Lion Mountains) due to the impressive mountains he saw while sailing along the West African coast in 1462.
3. Archaeological evidence suggests Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 has been inhabited for thousands of years with successive waves of inv.aders as well as immigration from inland peoples making up today’s diverse population
4. Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 is home to 16 ethnic groups. Each group has their own language and traditional attire.
5. If there is one thing that this small nation is blessed with is its rich mineral resource. Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 is famous for its diamonds. Apart from diamonds, bauxite and titanium are also extracted on large scale. It also produces gold and rutile on a large scale.
6. Sierra Leone’s capital city, Freetown, was founded as a home for repatriated and rescued former slaves in 1787
7. English is the official language; however, Krio is the language that is understood by most of the population. Krio is a Creole language, first spoken by descendants of freed Jamaican slaves who settled in the Freetown area.
8. Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 has a simple horizontally striped green, white and blue flag. Green stands for agriculture and the mountains, white for unity and justice, and blue for the aspiration to “contribute to world peace, especially through the use of its unique natural harbour at Freetown”.
9. The Outamba-Kilimi National Park, a tract of savannah and jungle in Sierra Leone, is home to highly diverse wildlife including primates such as chimpanzees, colobus monkeys and sooty mangabeys as well as hippos, bongo antelopes, buffalo, forest elephants and over 150 species of bird.
10. Freetown was home to the first institution of higher learning in modern sub-Saharan Africa after the collapse of the university at Timbuktu. Fourah Bay College opened in 1827 and at the time was the only alternative to Europe and America for British colony West Africans who wanted a university degree.
11. Sierra Leone’s “blood diamonds” helped fuel atr0cities during the w.ar. Blood diamonds, also known as conflict diamonds, were used to fund certain conflicts in Africa
12. Freetown has the largest natural harbour on the African continent. It is capable of receiving oceangoing vessels of all kinds.

Bun and Cheese!
Miles would watch his mamí cook such delicious foods, his honey brown eyes landed on container that were meant for his boyfriend. It got him wanting to help her, since his mom would give him leftovers to Hobie.
"Mamí, yo puedo ayuda?" The eighteen year old asked.
"Oh, sí, mi amor." His mom happily smiles, "What got you wanting to cook?"
"Um... I see your making extras for Hobie, and..." Miles looks bashful as he went to help her chop some onions, "I... maybe you can help me make his some food for the week?"
Rio's eyes lit up with joy, "Oh mi bebé, of course I will! Besides, this will be great for you to learn when you live on your own." She kisses her son's cheek being so happy seeing her son wanting to bond with her through cooking, and to make food for someone he deeply loves.
"Waahhh," Baby Billie cries being awake from her nap through the baby monitor.
"This is also good for me. You can cook while I deal with mi otra bebé!" She let Miles' handle the stove with all those pans and pots, "Let me go feed her. I'll tell you what to do."
"Uhh, okay!" Miles said with a slight panic in his voice. When his mom came back holding his baby sister, who's teary eyes blooms at the sight go him. It looks like all her sadness were washed away.
Miles listens to his mom telling him how long each side of the chicken should be cooked, when to stir the habichuelas, and check on the rice. "Tu nova es parte Jamaiquino?"
"Yeah, his family is a mix between Jamaican and West African... I think part Haitian, too."
"Oh, él también podría ser en parte dominicano. Comparten la misma isla. Recuerden que el papá de tu prima Moni y primo Flaco es dominicano y tenía un poco de Haitiano." She switch to speaking English, "His family lives close to boarder with a ranch and everything."
"Well, I dunno if Hobie knows much on his family. They don't talk much on that, but maybe. He knows like four languages and Haitian Creole is one of them."
"Look at him y tu? You should already be fluent con tu Espanol!"
"Mamí, tu sabes que lo estoy- umm trying." Miles tries to speak in full Spanish from time to time, "I mean, at least I understand everything in Spanish. Good thing, I know Korean and Sign Language." He's fluent with Sign Language and he's so proud of that.
Rio giggles, "Remember summer we'll be going to Puerto Rico, and all your family would want to speak with you." She went to get a formula bottle to feed her daughter.
Miles could only give a sheepish smile, he needs to work on that.
The Next Day
Miles came by to his boyfriend's place to drop off some food, "Mi amor, you here?" He went inside to find his boyfriend being shirtless with his skinny jeans and thick red boots. Hobie turns his head making his wicks bounce, his whole body turning pink.
"Sunflower!" He looks so happy to see his boyfriend, he was busy washing his dishes finishing up his breakfast. "I didn't expect you to come by. I would've clean up." He took off his rubber washing gloves revealing his hands having rings and neatly painted black nails. The punker saw his Sunflower set two big bags on the small round table, then rushes over to hug and kiss him.
"Mmm-mwah!" Miles' arms tightly hug his Hobie's waist with his head looking up with so much love. "Mamí wanted me to give this to you as soon as possible. She made some grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, and bean stew."
"Mmm sounds delicious, luv." Hobie leans over for another kiss with his arms hugging his Sunflower. "But it looks like she made other dishes?"
"Oh yeah, I help her make tostones," Miles hums.
"Ohh, so you cook too." Hobie's eyes gleam with joy by this fact.
"Mmhmm. Hope you like it, baby." He kisses his boyfriend's lips again and again.
The Punker picks up his Sunflower, "I will always love everything you and your mother make, but right now, I think I want a treat." He took his boyfriend to the bedroom only the sounds of giggles came out of the room.
A week later on Earth 1610, Miles was preparing Hobie's lunch and the rest of his week meal plans. He started to make Bun and Cheese, a savory sweet sandwich that's very comforting for many Jamaicans. Heck, his dad is a huge fan of them, too.
So Miles spend his free Friday making Jamaican Spice Buns with dried fruit, it almost reminded him of a fruit cake. He took a small piece to try and like the sweet spices with the molasses taste of this dense bread. "Mmm." He quickly got his knife to make thick slices of bread.
The whole home smells off cinnamon and raisins, the teenager got some sharp cheddar cheese knowing his boyfriend likes eating it that type instead of regular cheddar. Maybe he should've got the Tastee Jamaican cheese, since he saw Hobie having in his cabinets. "I'll leave some slices for him." He softly said to himself.
Then the timer ring, making Miles go over to the stove to flip over his steak making Bistec Encebollao, and he made a batch of fried sweet plantains knowing his man loves them so much. Then a big batch of rice and peas, he smiles to himself at the view of his cooking.
"Look at me go!" He did a happy dance.
Jeff came through the front door smelling the house, "Whoo, something smells good!" The middle age man went over to the kitchen being surprised his son cooking, "Miles, son? Your cooking?"
"Hey, dad! Yup. I want to make Hobie some lunch." Miles happily said.
Jeff nodded, "Alright." he went over to look at the food, "Smells good. Ohh, is that bun and cheese?" He took one of the sandwiches to munch on being hungry.
Miles looks over to see his dad's reaction. Jeff took a big bite, then his eyes widen and went, "MMM." He always buy store bought spice bread, but the homemade one taste way better. "This is good! You added nutmeg?"
"Yup!" His son proudly said.
Rio came out of her room with little Billie in her arms, "Hola, mi amor! Ohh, something smells so good."
"I'm making Bistec Encebollao!" Miles happily said seeing how his parents like his cooking.
The next day, Miles had packed all of Hobie's meal plans and a special lunch. He made sure he added a cute note, and sweet treat with some homemade lemonade. He went to HQ knowing his boyfriend might be there trying to change the minds of new comers about Miguel's dictatorship, or start some drama like always.
When he took the large plastic bags filled with Hobie's meals for the week, he got so excited to see his reaction. Happily to find his boyfriend in the hallway with their friends, "Bae!" He happily rushes over.
Hobie turns pink by the sound of his Sunflower, he turns to find his beautiful boyfriend running to him. His arms open up to let him fall into his arms, "Sunflower!" His nose being buried into his Miles' hair, "Mm! What you got there?"
"I made you lunch and meal plans instead of mi mamí!" Miles happily said with a bright beaming smile.
Hobie felt a cupid's arrow dig into his heart falling in love with his Sunflower all over again! The bright blush pink covers his whole body with hearts, and 'I love yous' all over. Then, the biggest font over his forehead, "I'M GOING TO MARRY HIM!"
Pavtri and Gwen gawks at the font having to point at it. Then saw Miles looking bashful! "Bae, I hope you like it! I work so hard."
"Anything you make for me is never awful." Hobie happily took his lunch box, and his bags for the week. "Smells heavenly, darlin'."
"You don't believe in heaven, Hobie!" His boyfriend giggles.
Gwen and Pavtri being nosy had look at the bag smelling some good food. Hobie putting on his charming smile, "Luv, you're my heaven!" If Heaven does exist, he knows for sure Miles would be his true happiness, ever lasting peace and love.
That made Miles giggles a bit boyish then playfully shove his punker, "Bae, you're so damn cheesy!" Then hugs his boyfriend, "Anyway, I have to go home and watch Billie and study for a test! Text me, when you're trying the lunch I made you. Bye, love you, mi amor!"
Hobie saw his Sunflower leaving with a rush. "Ohh, Miles cook for you! Oh, we should eat lunch together. I wanna see what he made for you!"
"Alright." Hobie shrugs trying to play off being chill.
At the cafeteria, Gwen and Pavtri got their own lunch, they sat in front of their Punker friend, who's beginning to open his lunch bag. He took out containers of hot foods, then a sandwich wrapped in aluminum, a drink and some sweet bread with a little folded note. "Ohh, open the containers! What is it?"
Hobie open the large container to find his sweet Sunflower made him, his favorite fried plantains, habichuelas with rice, and some delicious steak with some onions with a hearty sauce. Then, he opens the aluminum wrap with his eyes gleaming at the Bun and Cheese.
"Ohh, that smells good. Is that bread homemade?" Gwen asked as she sniff the air of delicious spices of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Pavtri said, "Oh that looks like a really good lunch."
Hobie took a bite of his Bun and Cheese and fell in love, "MMM!" He groans at the sweet taste of the freshly baked bun, it's way better than store bought. Then, with the sharp cheddar cheese giving a savory taste- Man, he loves this snack! Then he opens his bottle to sip at the homemade lemonade.
Everything tasted so perfect and delicious, he couldn't help but shove his food like a beast! He chews with his dark eyes catching the note, picking it up to read it.
The Note:
Hey, Bae!
I love you, and hope you enjoy the food! Mi mamí helped me, and my dad was a food taster. Hehe, he wanted to give his opinion! Billie was drooling at the smell, she gave her approve. Hope you have a great day!
XOXOXO
-💛 Your Sunflower 🌻
P.S: 💛 From the Morales family! 🧡 ~with their signature and Billie's hand print~
Hobie's face being buried in the note being super pink that if he was a cartoon his heart would pop out, and steam would come out of his ear!
Back at Miles' place, he holds his baby sister as they watch television together. His phone beeps, he picks it up to find a message from his boyfriend.
Hobie: I fucking love you! I'ma marry you!
Miles being so flustered he fumble his texting: WaT! was do u jean? ^mean! 🫣
Miles texts: I love you, 2! Was da food dat good?
Hobie: Fuckin' amazing! thanks luv! 🥰 I want you to come over tonight! I'ma show you how much I love yoU!
Miles still feeling his cheeks being super warm that Billie looks surprised at her big brother. Billie patted him.
Miles: BAE! 🫣
Hobie: 😝 Love you, Sunflower! You're gonna be my husband! 😘
After that, Miles knows to always make some good Bun and Cheese, when his man is upset or about to go full rage mode.

Okay so ok there’s the whole demons speaking every language automatically so you can’t insult them in like Spanish or anything BUT I only see white languages present would they understand like French creole or know the differences between Trinidadian patois and Jamaican patois?👀 or would they be completely stumped bc I really doubt satan would understand what my grandma is saying and even then a heavy accent? Yeah no google translate ain’t saving them😂

Can you guys re-imagine the culture(s) of the Chasind?
Hey anon!
That's a fantastic suggestion! Our campaigns have been taking place mostly in northern Thedas, so we didn't even have Chasind people/Kocari Wilds on the map yet, but you're so right. I didn't know much about the Chasind before reading up on the Bioware Wiki (BW for short) and.....yooof.
We'll definitely do a more thought-out and 'official' entry, but since a lot of our re-imaginings move at a snail's pace, I'll share some of our immediate thoughts after discussing this:
Geography:
It's giving BIG bayou vibes, and we're taking that and running with it, nodding at inspiration of early Black-American culture that emerges in the southern USA and the greater Caribbean Islands. Visuals of the Florida Everglades and Bayou Bartholomew in Arkansas, with a majority of the villages being built on stilts or the massive trees that are similar to the ones seen in the Frostback Basin (Jaws of Hakkon DLC specifically). There are settlements on more solid land, but most of the population and the 'civilians' live inside the swamp, as the tricky terrain doubles as protection and security.
The People:
Based off the BW, we're seeing patterns of love for nature and the seasons, and the mention of "animalistic goddesses" is making us think....DND druid style. (we took one look at the "barbaric" descriptions and tossed it all out, thank you)
Animal companionship is common among Chasind, whether they are "working animals" that warriors and hunters may keep that help them in their tasks, or companions for your local shopkeep or fisherman. Big or small, smart or.....lovable...animals are all around and children may even receive their companion at very young ages, growing up with their animal friend.
Some more magically gifted Chasind can even transform and take an animal form.
Chasind are bonded by clan systems, not blood or background. Meaning that if someone needs help in the village, people will band together to support that person. Once you settle in the swamp, you're family.
The Chasind have a large population of people with darker skin tones, but people with lighter skin tones are not uncommon either.
The Culture
Being situated on top of it, of course, water is EVERYTHING.
Navigating the bayou is no easy feat, and children are taught from a young age through legends, stories, and all sorts of oral histories how dangerous the water can be.
There are definitely some pretty cool eldritch beings living out in the swamp, and there are definitely stories about them.
Fishing culture is HUGE. Fishermen are taught a very sophisticated type of navigation and tracking, most commonly using the stars as a guide to chart the swamp, because the landscape can be incredibly difficult to navigate, especially after dark.
According to the BW, the Chasind have "developed their own language, but are capable of speaking the King's tongue", so we took this as they've managed to blend an older language like the one spoken by their Alamaari ancestors and merged it with the King's tongue (not unlike real-world languages, such as Haitian Creole, Jamaican Patois, or Michif)
People also traverse the swamp on stilts to keep out of the water and out of the way of other water predators. Whether they are walking across the village or going out to the fishing holes to get a daily catch.
Please feel free to add your own comments or thoughts on this re-imagine! This entire project is a joint effort, and having perspectives from other backgrounds is always helpful to make it more inclusive.

Kinda want to sit with City Boy a little while longer before I start writing any sort of long form meta about the comic, but the work being done to situate him within this relatable and grounded reality is so great and powerful. In an interview, the author (Pak) talks about how Cameron’s hustler energy dictates his personality, and how gaining power didn’t take that aspect of him away. I think however the elements that speak to me most extend from this: him being a squatter and how he engages with Fujimoto. It’s weird to say, but I think this might be one of the only cape comics I’ve read that accurately portrays how homeless people attempting to beg for resources like cash and food are more often heavily policed and exploited by those in power around them. It’s also never explicitly stated, but we can guess Cameron no longer has a place to live because his grandpa died after his umma abandoned him. That commonality has been seen a lot in his other appearances, these moments of suddenly connecting with other people in this erased lower class.
Finally, I’m not Korean-American, but I am Haitian and Jamaican (and American). Haitian Creole was denied to me for a long time as a language. Our circumstances are different but Cameron grappling with that disconnect and limited understanding is so real. Excited for more of him to come

just in case ur curious
emil and erin: chicanos (mexican born in america/colorado) their mom is mestizo and their dad is a half afro-mexican and half indigenous. they speak both spanish and english but emil is exceptionally better at spanish than erin
neo: nigerian dad and haitian mom. originally from france but immigrated to colorado as a child. neo speaks french, haitian creole, and english.
bambi: the same except she only knows english.
jubilee: iranian/persian jewish born and raised in california by a ashkenazi jewish family. she’s 90% a english speaker but she catches onto some of her mom’s german.
charlene: cuban mixed with arawak/taíno, spaniard and various african descents (though she will tell you otherwise). born in new york but raised in maryland. her primary language is spanish and her english can be a little choppy at times. she prefers to talk to emil because she can just speak spanish to him lol
cole: if you asked him he would just say he’s white but he’s specifically full blown italian descent with like a pinch of icelandic. born and raised in cali baby. um he took a french class in high school but other wise he’s just english only
cece and judy: italian dad (like cole) and black jamaican mom. also born and raised in cali. cece can speak patwah but judy can’t at all #embarrassing
dondre: afro-cuban. born in cuba moved to maryland at 9 years old. despite living in the usa less than charlene most of the people in his circle are black americans so he learned english easier and mostly speaks through aave. he’s still fluent in spanish he just doesn’t speak much since most of the people who hangs with aren’t spanish speakers.
mickey: her mom is white and her dad is black (no specific origin). she’s originally from new york but hopped around different states trying to discover herself before she finally landed in cali. she only speaks english but she’ll sometimes be like “emil what’s milk in spanish” or whatever and start sprinkling random spanish words in her conversation

Thanks for tagging me @imaniascending ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
• Tea, coffee or soda:
Coffee for energy and Tea for feeling better. I try to avoid Soda because it has enough sugar to murder a Victorian child.
• Dogs or cats?
I love both but cats are my favorite. Throughout my entire tumblr run "cats" has been my most popular tag no matter what else I was obsessed with(yes even during my mitski phase that made me the second blog that showed up when you searched for mitski). I love that they can be capricious and finicky like people. I think that gives them a wide range of personalities and that's very charming to me. I'm also 90% sure I have that germ that they give you to make you love them and I'm fine with that.
• Can you play a music instrument?: Does shaking the tambourines in church(when I used to go) confidently yet incompetently count? I also know like half of a song on Kalimba.
• What’s your star sign?:
No U-turns
Tumblr media
• First lyric that pops up in your head: "Pussy talented; it do cartwheels" from Pussy Talk by City Girls feat. Doja Cat
• Do you have any tattoos?:
Nah and my interests change too much for me to ever pin down something I want painted on my body forever.
• What’s the last film you watched?:
Live action: "Nope" . Thematically amazing and it had a very strong start but it did lose some of its edge when they revealed the true nature of the horror they were facing. I think about different things from this movie a lot and I haven't fully processed all of them yet. I highly recommend it.
Animated: "Constantine: City of Demons". It was very meh. Not a lot of magic from the main character and I didn't really find any of the themes original or interesting. I was hoping this movie would give me more insight to Constantine as a DC character but he just seems boring and british tbh. I don't recommend it.
• What languages do you speak?: English and Jamaican Creole.
• Do you have hobbies?:
Outside of media consumption and media interpretation, I'm a writer(allegedly haha) and I hangout with friends when it's safe to.
• You can hang out with a fictional character for one hour, who do you choose?:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bayonetta Beta 1(the one from Japan). Her very short appearance in the third game screams "I love to have fun"(she's dressed like a rollerskater and her weapon is a yoyo). To be fair, hanging out with any version of Bayonetta would probably be fun but she just seems the most fun. Like we'd go interdimensional rollerskating or something🛼
Compliment yourself:
You're cute and doing an excellent job of pacing yourself and knowing your limits💕🫂

This video documents the disappearing languages of the Eastern Maroons of Moore Town, Jamaica. The languages are (i) Kromanti, a language variety related to the Akan language cluster of West Africa, and (ii) Uol Taim Patwa or 'Maroon Spirit Language', a very archaic form of English-lexicon Creole, similar in many ways to the Creole languages of Suriname. The language is presented through Mr Isaac Bernard, one the last culture bearers of the community, with a good command of these languages. The video is part of the Caribbean Indigenous and Endangered Languages website, which is co-sponsored by the Jamaican Language Unit/Unit for Caribbean Language Research, the University of the West Indies, Mona, and UNESCO. http://www.caribbeanlanguages.org.jm

here’s a poorly constructed headcanon/rant because my brain is very full rn
yk how there are various poc headcanons for james? like indian, hispanic, filipino, etc. (which i love by the way dont get me wrong!! i love how various groups can share their experiences through him it genuinely brings me joy)
what if i just.. make him jamaican in one of or several of my fics?? what happens then?? who’s to stop me?? like imagine indo-jamaican effie and afro-jamaican monty moving to england during the mass migratory period, settling into the wizarding community there then having james??
and james grows accustomed to wizarding society and england in general but his parents also make sure he still understands his roots
and i can imagine them speaking to him in patois at home and him teaching the boys bits and pieces of the dialect
and because i also head canon that mary is of jamaican decent as well (more so that she has extended family living there even though her parents were born in england), i think she’d let him help her stay in touch with her culture and they’d trade recipes too because jamaican food is god tier and everyone should try it (seriously)
one thing i’ve always been hesitant about is writing my dialect within fanfic. because like when it’s a standard language like french or english it just feels different ig like maybe people won’t be interested in jamaican creole as much because it’s not thought of as one of those romantic languages really it’s just broken english to many people and also it’s not really a language that’s formally written outside of jamaican literature or casual texting between jamaicans
but ykw i don’t think it should matter to me this much and i think i’ll write it regardless because my dialect deserves to be celebrated and also writing is supposed to be a form of expression, there’s no use worrying about what ppl will think about it really and i could def put end notes with translations and stuff
jesus this went from a headcanon to rant to me accepting that i’m allowed to write patois into my fics☠️
