Being a child of immigrants and/or spending extended amounts of time in countries outside of the one your family immigrated to is so confusing sometimes, especially with shows. Like, I don’t know what other people have seen or not seen. For example: I watched a LOT of Slugterra bc it was on the Teletoons network (Quebec network), but I’ve met like 3 ppl who remember it. Same with the TinTin movie, Astérix and Obelix, In the Night Garden, Detentionaire, Fangbone, Jimmy two shoes, the deep, are you afraid of the dark, Dragon hunters, etc. Also, having watched many of them in French (which I am very bad at, especially when I was a kid which was when I watched these programs), I have a rlly hard time explaining what actually happens and I only remember stills or the name in French instead of English. Anyways this makes it all sound like a fever dream to my USAmerican friends, i.e. “you know that show where it’s all like puppet 2D animation and the guy is running from his zombie school detention?” Or “remember that show where a bunch of people in weird costumes made noises and there were tiny people who marched outside their home?” Or “what do you mean you don’t remember the show about the big guy and the little guy on floating islands slaying dragons, one of which farted to fly?”

Anyways gotta love being second gen

netizens are desensitising gruesome things that are taking place in Palestine.

even the internet’s reaction to graphic things such as - pictures of injured children, civilians stuck under rubble, dead bodies of families in their destroyed homes etc. is beyond underwhelming.

DO NOT NORMALISE GENOCIDE.

BREAK THE STIGMA.

This is a great resource to become educated

I didn't see it being shared over here but right after the aggression started, a popular Egyptian youtuber, Ahmed El Ghandour, known as El Da7ee7, made a 1 hour documentary summarizing the history of the occupation, starting with its roots in Europe. He cites all sources in the video description, and most of them are Israeli sources. It's in Arabic but fully captioned in English and several other languages. I really recommend it.

It definitely depends on the era, plus with the maintenance of curly hair, it can be really difficult to get it right without proper channels of information. I grew up brushing out my hair every morning because 1) I genuinely thought it made my hair look straight (it did not, all frizz in a way that people who aren’t me can pull off) and 2) because straightening my hair took up WAY too much time. Anyways, the ancient Greeks most likely had straight hair with some exceptions (plus plenty of creative liberty) and I looked like a feral lion from grade 2 to grade 7.

Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but were there people with straight hair in ancient Greece? Like, I know modern Greeks do, but every ancient representation of Greece I see tends to have curly or wavy hair. I don't think I've ever come across a statue, description, pottery, etc that depicts someone with straight hair, but I may be missing sources.

Ah lol 😂 Hello anon! Straight hair is veeery dominant in Greece and the surrounding areas. No different thing is said for our ancient ancestors. No phenomenon of a huge ancient population of naturally curled-haired people was observed in the area.

I imagine the ancient depictions needed some movement and that's why waves were carved, or maybe waves/curls was a hair beauty standard for art (like small breasts and similar faces etc). Maybe the real life beauty standard also demanded wavy hair, so people used hot iron, or rags on wet hair to achieve this result. These are very ancient techniques.

It can't be that the whole Greek population two thousand years ago had curled hair and, on top of that, the exact same type of wavy hair. Not to mention, the Greeks with naturally curly hair I've seen have often puffier hair than the ones depicted often in antiquity and it's a type of hair that isn't new by any means. So I wouldn't say that ancient Greek art depicted the average natural Greek hair of the time.

(I am saying this to add to the discussion, not to argue with/counteract any points made as I agree with them)

So I’m Greek and my Grandmothers on both sides have naturally curly hair, though one is kinda wavy and one is more kinky. I can’t say anything about Ancient Greeks because, surprise surprise, not all Greeks are experts in Greek antiquity simply by virtue of being Greek (Θείτσα is better educated than me on Ancient Greece simply because she’s cool and knows shit). However, what I can say is that my mom, her sisters, and my Dad’s sister all have naturally wavy-curly hair, but choose to straighten it. The reasons why they do this depend on the person, but at least for my mom, she says it’s easier to take care of straight hair than her natural curly hair.

I’m bringing this up not only to demonstrate varying hair textures in Greeks, but also to point out that another factor that affects/likely affected perceived hair textures is utility and ease

This is from my experience as a second generation Greek diaspora in North America

Tmnt 2012 hc:

I think that if the turtles were humanized they would all be black and/or blasian since they’re siblings and would have to have the same genetic tree (in 2012 I’m pretty sure they’re biologically related). However I love idea that they have slight differences between them since they hang out in different areas in nyc (a diverse city with a bunch of different cultures that I think would really interest them).

So anyways I hc that Splinter brought them all up to be bilingual, however Raph and Donnie aren’t as good at Japanese anymore since I think they aren’t as good with languages and they would consume a lot of English content growing up + Leo probably started translating Splinter for them and they kinda stopped needing to use it, so it faded a bit. I think Raph stopped speaking Japanese but can still understand it and could speak it (with some grammar and pronunciation errors) in a pinch. Donnie rarely speaks Japanese but he speaks it from time to time with Splinter, Leo, or Mikey. Leo is probably fluent in Japanese and English and I think her (Leo is transfem in my books) and Mikey can read Japanese while Raph and Donnie can’t. However, I think that Leo code switches and sometimes makes tiny grammar/pronunciation errors, with Mikey being the best at Japanese of all their (Mikey is aroace gender-fluid) siblings.

I don’t think Raph is a big language buff (unlabeled he/him non binary Raph supremacy), so he probably just knows English and Japanese. Meanwhile, I think Donnie knows code languages and probably taught themself (They/them for Donnie, source: me) obscure/dead/constructed languages like Esperanto or Latin. Leo probably can understand/read Spanish to some extent, though she’s barely conversational speaking it. She might also know certain phrases in a bunch of different languages since I hc that she wants to travel. Mikey, in my opinion, will be the best at picking up languages, probably fluent in Latin American Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and Cantonese, conversational in Italian and Korean, and has begun to pick up some Haitian Creole (though her pronunciation isn’t good because she probably sounds either very American or has WAY to heavy of an accent). They also codeswitch and mesh together languages pretty often, so his siblings have begun to pick up a bit of their languages, especially Leo (how she learned Latin American Spanish)

I think they speak primarily English among themselves and Japanese/English with Splinter, who is plays a little game with himself when he hears music to guess the language it’s in
