[jewish-culture-is]

Jewish Culture is being a secular Ashkenazi by birth but practicing Sefardi because the all the Minyanim available to me are Sefardi, even the one where only three guys are Sefardi (the rest are Ashkenazi and Beita Israel). Sefardi Yom Kippur services are rad! 13 hours of singing!

#also discovered a local sefardi woodcarver who makes some of the most beautiful mezuzah covers ive seen #and hes like in charge of the sefardi stuff at that temple and i think i will have to become his best friend and apprentice #not actually but that would be crazy #personal #i think it will be good for me to put more god in my life lol

#last night we went to a huge wedding where both bride and groom are in the IDF #and so was literally half the audience #and on the one hand you could really feel the catharsis after the weekend events (tho tbf sefardi weddings are always like that) #but on the other hand it's so crazy to be in a fancy dressed up place and singing and dancing #and every conversation turns to the finer details of the state of the art of icbms and where UAV technology currently stands

How the hell did that ghost commentary track get on here I don't even know what that is. Am I possessed.

#Shoutout to Trio Sefardi LMFAO

[encountering-divinity]

Honestly even though being in Spain has been nonstop psychic damage I’m really glad I went. I’ve gotten in touch with some Jewish orgs here and told them about my family and it turns out it’s really likely my abuelita’s family came from sefardi conversos. Genuinely no wonder there was such a strong urge to convert

#kinda just me talking to myself #i hope im making my ancestors proud #im also gonna talk with a sefardi shul when i get back

Imagine the entirety of what you consider important in a husband being tallness, confidence, being frum, being stable, not being Sefardi, and not being vaccinated for covid

#who cares about middos when you have a tall confident non-Sefardi dude who's more vulnerable to a disease amiright

[torahtot]

my parents were like yeah we'll have kids who are 1/4 hasid 1/4 misnagid and 1/2 BT surely this will lead to a normal identity

#but it's funny bc it isn't unique at all. everyone in my town is like this #well most ppl dont have BT parents but they have OTD children so give it twenty years and we'll see! #it's so fascinating it's like this tension of being able to make fun of hasidim bc were all part hasid but also u HAVE to do that in order #to assert that u arent a weirdo who's too religious or hasidic. #& then there's also the ppl who actually are chasidish (usually they grew up chasidish & then their parents divorced bc one isnt anymore) #so they have to do this like ironic reclamation of being chasidish which is at the end another form of mocking as a boundary marker #eventually everyone goes OTD and then maybe can have a genuine normal relationship to their roots or just be normal abt it #well we still joke. but in a different way for different reasons #i could go on abt this forever it's sooo fascinating i literally have to write a book abt it #nachi speaks #edit: i didnt even mention what happens when u get into the even more modox circles. i cant even open that can of worms #it's also different among ashkenazi/sefardi lines and we have a lotttt of sefardim & mizrahim as well #some of whom are chasidish but most r not. but they have other things to be embarrassed of like weird immigrant parents! #which i also had! & come to think of it might explain why i was in the specific friend groups i was in #personal

A bit down bc I want my art to pop off everytime, but when they do pop off, my trans guys just get mistaken as girls so often I just feel really sad. I don't mind ppl borrowing my oc DESIGNS or whatever, I just get sad when my drawings get divorced from my actual intention. Idk. Anyway!

Here are my trans guys

His name is Chintan. He is "coded" to be Hmong Vietnamese, Mongolian and northern filipino. His name is Sanskrit, and it means "thought"

His name is Yildiz, he is a trans guy and coded sefardi jewish and Turkish, his name means "star" in Turkish

This is my favorite oc of all time, his name is Darenya, his name means "little moon" in a constructed language- he is a trans guy.

This is Salabay, he is a trans guy. His name means "jellyfish" in bisaya and tagalog

This one is Aneirin, he is a trans guy and he is Welsh.

And this one is Rachamim, he's coded to be Sephardi jewish and Chinese. His name means "compassion"

And finally this is Lea. He is half filipino, half chinese.

[animunerdery]

your art is very good and i love it a lot !! ur vrry talented ! however, you seem to still draw usopp with his minstrel lips? i know thatd how they look in canon but a caricature is a caricature. im not saying thid in a mean spirited way, i just want to see your art improve and not alienate who you're trying to depict

Oda certainly has some “issues” with his designs, Usopp and most of the other black and brown characters, along with pretty much all of his women have fairly obvious “these were designed by a Japanese dude who loves boobs and has probably only seen non asian people in film/media vibes.”

That being said… if it were up to me, I probably would still exaggerate a fair amount of features, but push them more towards the direction of the ethnicity / nationality they’d represent.

Luffy and Vivi for example, I would definitely make brown. I’m pretty sure the live action show will be a disaster given how bad cowboy bebop was, BUT! The casting of live action Luffy is spot on! Curly hair? Check! Thick assed eyebrows? Check! Feral boy energy? Check!

Zoro I’d have it so he dyes his hair, his eyebrows can be dark thick assed Asian eyebrows and the moss is his choice cuz he’s an idiot and thinks it’s cool.

Nami, I’d make her overall a bit more elfin; give a bit of an upturn to her nose and freckles obviously. Aside from that not too much of a change. Animu already makes ppl kinda white looking…

Usopp would definitely be wide nose instead of long nose and frankly I’d give him more prominent eyelids. I think he’d be darker relative to the other mugiwara even if Banchina is mixed race.

Sanji I would definitely give a much bigger much more French nose and maybe make him more like a French Buscemi overall? Sanji’s biggest problems are in his writing, but I think Oda has definitely been showing growth in our weird confused little misogynist.

Chopper I can see as half Asian tbh bc there’s a ton of Asians in Canada. Also he’s a kid so not that different from the way I already draw him haha.

Robin I think would also be more about making that nose more prominent and making those deep set eyes and heavy eyelids pop. Though tbh she could be kinda mixed too, like white Eastern European mixed with Asiatic Steppe ppl blood could also work?

(The main thing I’d change with all the women is waistline and boob size lol, also Nami face, I would definitely make Hancock and Tashigi clearly Asian. Love that Nojiko is black in the live action and would totally make Miss Double Finger black as well. Vivi would totally be brown, why not black? Ptolemaic Egyptians are essentially Greeks, so more Middle Eastern Mediterranean Sefardi vibes for Vivi.)

Franky doesn’t really need much change except maybe the nose also being more prominent? He already does look kinda like a large white dude to begin with lol. His butt-butt chin thing is weird but within the realm of cartoon liberty.

And my Brook would probably look like an older cross between Marley and Hendrix. So not thaaat different from Oda’s design I guess? I think of him as being from Jamaica at any rate, no idea where Oda had actually slated him to be from…

I didn’t do them, but Jinbei would probably be an older chunky Asian dude, and Yamabro would probably be an albino? The whole white hair red eyes thing lol…

At any rate… design is still incredibly labor and thought intensive so despite his issues, I take my hat off with full respect to Oda sensei and base my drawings off those designs.

Also… redesign takes time and energy as well and tbh this blog is just dumb throwaway doodles that take me 5-30min to cobble together. If you wanna see beautifully redesigned mugiwaras, check out these blog rolls of incredible artists who actually put time and energy into their work!

I got randomly followed and thought it was fishy; I assume that this is because I put that I’m Sefardi in my bio.

On top of the appropriation of Rabbinic scholarship, following Jews on tumblr to pull your messianic bullshit is fucking disgusting and disrespectful for all sorts of reasons.

Shame on you and go fuck yourself, none of us need to be saved.

[idkinsertfanreferencehere]

If ppl don’t stop saying stupid things I’m gonna have to put “Ashkenazi” on the confiscated words shelf

(Something about how once you don’t have any Halachic/practicing community then minhag becomes irrelevant/a personal thing and you start having stupid ideas about the nature of minhag as analogous with or mappable onto race)

It’s just the general trend of things like “well not all American Jews are white, there are non-Ashkenazi Jews in America!”

When, since minhag is transferrable via marriage, adoption, and community integration, arguably the only minhagim (whose potential practitioners are) not eligible for integration into American whiteness are מנהגי חסידות

A majority of which are… Ashkenazi minhagim

Since arguable Jewish integration into American whiteness relies on Jews not being immediately identifiable as such

In that inasmuch as Jews are seen as candidates for assimilation into whiteness, Judaism as it stands is not

And Jews are assimilateable inasmuch as they can be separated from Judaism

Cf “Frenchmen of the mosaic persuasion”

And yes, “ashkinormativity” does approximate describing an actual existing intracommunity issue in how we communicate, teach, and think (about) our histories, culture/s, practice/s, etc. as a people, and what we chose to represent as normative and how we chose to structure religious and cultural resources, especially in educating youth (what kind of siddurim do we give to children? What minhagim do we teach them in school? What kind of challah do we provide? How do we teach young people to wrap tefillin/say brachot/read torah/respond to kaddish/etc?)

but while this phenomenon is absolutely influenced/imprinted on by orientalism, it both A. Does not treat and has not historically treated all subminhagim within larger minhag “families” as equal to each other (eg Eastern European Ashkenazim being seen as backwards) and B. Is not a historically unprecedented or isolatable phenomenon within Jewish history, and many of those other examples involved other minhagim as dominating forces (see the history of Sefardi minhag wrt the Bukharian Minhag and broadly speaking the entire landscape of minhagim in the MENA region, the Syrian minhag in India, etc.)

Anyway it really feels like like some people went “is anyone going to make posts on the internet acting like this intracommunity phenomenon maps neatly onto a post-9/11 American understanding of race?” And then didn’t wait for a response before going ahead and doing that.
