Las cuatro vidas del Malolo

A las once de la mañana del 15 de mayo de 1949 hacía su primera entrada al puerto de Barcelona el paquebote Atlantic de la compañía Home Lines, quedó atracado en el Muelle de San Bertrán en donde lo estaban esperando las autoridades portuarias, así como representantes de la consignataria Hijos de M. Condeminas entre otros. El paquebote Atlantic en el puerto de Barcelona (imagen de Carlos Pérez de…

trying to tie down ancient empires who notoriously conquered half the world down to a specific modern country and even trying to pull a "cultural appropriation" is the funniest thing ever.

#'cultural appropriation' on empires that very much forced their culture on other people will never cease to be funny #esp like trying to divide the mediterranean into 3 definite separate regions is so.... #the lines arent real!! theyre not real!!!!! #mine*

I know that this is an act of the most extreme hubris and I expect to be struck down for it sooner or later, but what if....I attempted to write Hornblower in the style of Patrick O'Brian....

#just because that quote that i posted a few days ago has really been making me think about things #mostly due to the brilliant notes on it which have all been very insightful especially re what makes the aubreyad so damn good #anyways i can't write this is why it's an act of hubris but i did write a thing so i'm going to share it anyways #ship of the line was fine. it pissed me off a tiny bit less than beat to quarters #but also like mr. pob loves the mediterranean so unbelievably much and it infuses his writing and i miss that #so therefore mediterranean be upon thee <3 #perce rambles #The Creative Endeavor and other aubreyad nonsense #percy yells at cecil scott #<- personal hornblower tag since that's what it amounts to mostly

Not on the asks list, but care to share some hebrew-knower insight?

disclaimer that i'm not really a hebrew-knower, i basically only know enough to get through synagogue services. i'm mostly useless when it comes to modern hebrew.

anyway, you're correct in that hebrew doesn't have j, as a phoneme or as a letter. hebrew has י, which is phonetically equivalent to the english y, although it also sort of functions as a vowel in certain contexts (for example חי "chai" which means life)*.

i guess part of what's tricky about transliterating is that the latin alphabet is used for so many different languages and so many of its letters are not consistent in pronunciation, whether it be between languages or even within the same language. so in english j is typically /dʒ/ while in spanish it's more like /x/ or /h/ depending on dialect, and in german and other languages it's more like /j/. to make matters more confusing of course, that hebrew י is pronounced /j/.

so there's no equivalent to english j in hebrew, but due to, like, linguistic history and hundreds of years of translating the bible, a lot of hebrew words with י in them got changed to j or i in transl(iter)ation. you see this a lot in names: יִצְחָק (yitzhak) -> isaac, יְרוּשָׁלַיִם (yerushalayim) -> jerusalem

as far as modern transliteration goes, though, i think english transliterations of hebrew generally use "y" in place of "י". using "j" would be kind of misleading to an english reader considering that "j" represents a different phoneme in english as opposed to other languages. i guess if a german speaker were transliterating hebrew it would make sense. but י in hebrew words/names getting turned into j (/dʒ/) in english is more of a translation than a transliteration.

english j (/dʒ/) can be spelled in modern hebrew but it uses a different letter. it's ג׳. which is like a hard g with a diacritic added. kind of in the same way that english g is hard but softened to /dʒ/ when followed by e or i? it's used for transliteration or loan words, though, it's not really a native hebrew phoneme.

*as a sidenote, ח is pronounced /x/, like the "ch" in german. so i guess if you wanted to piss people off you could transliterate "חי" as "jaj" lol

#sasha answers #sleepover saturday #cartridgeconverter #this is also where 'j-hovah' comes from as an english name for gd. it's an expansion of the hebrew tetragrammaton #which begins with י #i'm not gonna type it out though. i may struggle to maintain observance on my own but there are some lines i won't cross #also i do believe י is graphically ancestral to i. and by extension j because i and j were the same letter for a long time #ie that i/j in the latin alphabet were derived through greek/phonecian from hebrew י #mediterranean scripts. fascinating stuff

Obsessing abt the Amazonian embassy and embassy day & tours and the details of all that while at the same time being BONE tired from all my schoolwork.

Like I am lying here with aches all over and the remnants of stress pains and also my energy drink (not to be confused w my coffee from earlier) leaking out of my system and all I can think about is color symbolism and what the flags would look like for the different Amazon tribes

#also this is spiralling into headcanons about the location of themyscira as mapped onto the Mediterranean (but still in fantasy land) and #how that would play into art and fashion and the flag #anyways what im saying here is i think they have access to tyrian purple dye #or at least the snail in some capacity. because hippolyta is almost always wearing purple (for queen symbol reasons ofc) but that implies #continued access to the dye or at least their own synthetic version #which honestly i feel like they could have either way. but the snails would be really cool. especially if they had their own method of #extraction or some other way of doing things #and especially if they were making a flag to fit with conventions of mans world then they could totally use purple because it 1. wouldnt be #widespread like the flag of a real nation it would just be on like 3 buildings irl. or if it needed to be widespread they could just use #synthetics. also themyscirans would def have time to collect hundreds of snails they had time for that like cmon now #aaaaannnyyyways this is my reasoning for why themyscira should be the only country w a significant amt of purple on their flag #in my mind there is also black lines for their bracelets the lasso for truth and a dove for peace and also messages #and thats specifically the themysciran one. bc in my mind there would also be flags for the bana esquecida and amazonia in general although #they would mostly exist just to fly outside a few buildings and not do much but idk #havent thought too much abt the other tribes but ik esquecida would have some green the bana either some blue or red and the amazonia one #would have a depiction of both girdles of gaea on it

gale is literally a 50/50 percent coin toss between raised by a single mother or raised by a mediterranean mother in which case is singularly attached to her to the exclusion of his father, who is present in his life, but gale doesn't give much of a fuck about

#.bg3 #like As One Of Those People (mediterranean) the stereotypes of a boy being mommas boy and a girl being a daddys girl #are unfortunately true. and when i open my eyes i do see that reality grafted onto gale #but also single mom is also likely. #interpretation born from the line 'my parentS wouldnt let me have a cat so i got tara' which might be a continuity error #but gale is just greek to me. hes friend shaped like that

🔥unpopular charles opinion

The thing is, it’s not an opinion, really. The question isn’t meant to be a complaint or a rebuttal or anything. I just genuinely don’t get it! The question goes something like this.

So Charles/Klinger seems to be the one actively disliked ship in the fandom, discounting the h*nn*hawk vs p*erc*ntyre gang war and that one rabidly anti-hawnk person (lol). Most nobody has any love for the ship, because it’s stupid and OOC, of course, but mostly because it’s egregiously obviously racist and gross, which is the critique that seems most common, and to be of most importance to people.

And to be clear, for the purposes of this post I am wholly agreeing with all that! It’s distasteful and immoral and people who are into it are insane, including me. I’m not arguing against this line of thinking, I just wanted to look at its inner logic. Because when I first heard people saying this, I thought, “Yeah, makes sense, Charles is truthfully a terrible person with abhorrent opinions. Nobody watching this already unfortunately bigotry-riddled show is obligated to try and look past that! It is Always valid to hate Charles’ guts.”

But it turns out most of the fandom (I assume it must be most, given how shockingly few people here have blocked me) actually don’t hate Charles, in general. It’s the specific ship, not the character, that’s distasteful. (Not to say any Charles ship is anything resembling popular, but like with most ships, that’s just a result of the general population’s Hawkeye BJ Laser Focus Gaze. I’ve never seen anybody actively dislike these ships when they’re brought up.) And the more I think about it, the more I wonder why, because well. to put it bluntly. It’s not like someone stops being racist when they’re not actively interacting with a nonwhite person.

You know what I mean? I feel like Charles’ bigotry would be a turn off for all of our generally morally sound protagonists, not just one who happens to be personally affected by it. But it only becomes an issue when it involves Klinger. I’ve heard people say that any Charles/Klinger ship fic would obviously have to go out of its way to address Charles’ racism, but I’ve read a few Charles/Hawkeye and Charles/Donna (and Charles / other strange and varied choices too, because of course I have) fics–really, REALLY good fics, that captured the characters very nicely and are very beautifully written–and I’ve yet to find one that discusses The Bigotry In The Room with any degree of seriousness.

(Pssst this is everyone’s chance to absolutely dunk on me by sending me fics that do this if there actually are a bunch and I’ve just never read them because I would in fact LOVE to read some fics with that topic regardless of ship!)

And to be clear, that’s fine with me! I truly do not care. When I read Charles running away to Maine or romancing Ms. Parker and I don’t see his love interests stop to ask “Hey, um, so any updates on the fact that you and your whole family are eugenicists?”, it doesn’t bother me in the slightest, because I just assume that Charles has already gone through the cult deprogramming step of his character development at some point prior to this, and either the love interest in question has already confirmed this off-page, or they are making the same assumption I am. After all, at least in Hawkeye’s case, the mere act of admitting romantic interest in a Democrat from the back of beyond would necessarily imply a shift in values, right?

(Admittedly, for all we canonically know Donna could be a fashy scumlord herself, so this reasoning doesn’t wholly apply there, but it obviously does to her fanon background/personality.) (Which is adorable, by the way. Everyone go check out the collective oeuvre of AO3 user onekisstotakewithme.)

So that’s all cool! It’s just that the same thing applies for me when it comes to Charles/Klinger. If anything, it applies even more, because you can have a fic where Charles’ whole family attend his and Donna’s 2nd wedding (Everyone go check out the collective oeuvre of AO3 user onekisstotakewithme!!!) but if Charles gets with Maxwell in any capacity, his father is at the very LEAST never going to speak to him again, ever. And personally I think that is SO fun and sexy, because Charles’ father is a white supremacist and I want him to die painfully forever and ever amen. <3

I got sidetracked a few times here and I just realized I never actually asked the question, which is, TL;DR: If it’s immoral–or at least gross and nonsensical–to ship Charles/Klinger, because Charles is bigoted, shouldn’t the same also apply to shipping Charles with many other characters too, given that they should logically also have a problem with his bigotry?

For what it’s worth, I have a bit of a theory about the answer to this, all to do with the incompetent way Charles’ bigotry (and other characters’ reactions to it) are portrayed in canon and the deeper Doylist factors that I think forced the showrunners into writing it like that, but I wanted to stay strictly on the topic of fandom attitudes for now, because it may be niche and silly, but I find it interesting. And I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on it!

#Did this sound rude? Was I totally incoherent? Is everyone mad at me now? All these questions & more swirling around in my brain right now #It seems like such an obvious thing I feel stupid even bringing it up because there must just be some huge thing I'm missing #but I can't figure out what it is! #There was so much more I wanted to bring up here as I said but I had to Stop haha #like sometime I also want to do a post on how most people seem to envision Charles fitting back into his family and his old life very well #and I always picture the exact opposite! Not just from a ''what I would want to have happen'' POV but also just #what I think would complete his arc in a satisfying way and build on the things that happened to him in canon #not saying he's gong to go home and become a commie immediately (ah! if only!) and I think he WOULD try DESPERATELY #to have everything be exactly the same. but I just don't think it would work! #like Margaret and unlike BJ or Hawkeye his pre-war life was not built on healthy sustainable or even ethical foundations #and that life is going to collapse in on him! #but ghdsjkgdsj STOP I will make a separate post later. enough controversy for today I'm sleepy #(but I also do SOOO want to make a post examining the insane inconsistencies in how the protags treat Charles and his bigotry cause it's #SIMPLY RIDIC #) #Hawkeye when he wants to have a little bonding moment with Charles: #I can excuse racism but I draw the line at failing to flirt with a 6'4'' millionaire. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! #and the thing is Maxwell also does this. but of course THAT isn't ok. wheezing. #Charles: god I fucking HATE [checks the list of protected minorities to find an ethnic group that's not on there] uhhh MEDITERRANEANS #Max who is used to long odds and is already mentally rehearsing his teary ''But officer!

it really did take a fae court romance series written by an Indian woman to have all the mentioned cuisine be Indian foods for me to realize ive never actually read a fantasy setting with the kinds of food i eat and never questioned it

like why is it that the furthest ive ever strayed from ye olde white fantasy foods is that one time i let a player in a d&d game invent pizza in the feywild. why is that. literally i dont even represent the foods i eat in the settings i create

#like its all food im familiar with obviously bc im white so i know About Ye Olde White Cuisine #but i dont. eat much of it. #i dont like potatoes much and i dont like beef or pork much #or sandwiches #and i cant eat bread #and i dont really care for mediterranean flavorings #and i avoid mushrooms and cant eat eggs #so i just #largely dont eat anything you find in your standard white fantasy setting #i eat a lot of east and south asian foods tbh #so i got absurdly excited to realize a feast scene was talking about curry #and to recognize samosas even if i didnt remember the name #idk why i never questioned it like #it was just another layer of fantasy to me i guess #also to put a clearer disclaimer on this post #I Am White #my tastes just line up really well with a lot of asian flavor profiles #being nonspecific bc it really isnt specific i take a lot of inspiration from japanese indian and thai foods but i dont exactly limit myself #yelling at the void
