Choosing to spread some love in the community since that anon wants to be a little bitch again, so: please share ten facts about Queen Esme!! Whatever you wanna share about her that you haven’t already, I wanna hear it!! <3

Thank you for sending this! <3

I can't believe they've been at this bullshit as long as they have. If they put that kind of time and effort into creating something or caring about something, imagine what they'd achieve!

It makes so happy that others love my girl Esme as much as I do :)

Esme was born in Snowmass. Colorado, USA and is the youngest of six children, and the only girl

She has a degree in psychology

Besides English, she can speak a handful of languages: French, Spanish, Russian, Pashto, Dari, and some Bengali and Hindi

Aside from being a silent partner/owner of Tyler's mercenary business, she owns a bookstore in Cooktown, Australia. It's even been featured in magazines and a travel show on places to visit in Queensland.

In the main series, she's the proud momma of seven kiddos. Including two sets of twins

While a pretty terrible cook, she's an excellent baker

She was married once before meeting Tyler. She had been divorced for eighteen months when Nik introduced them

Her cousin is/was married to a mercenary on Nik's team. G, who was played by Sam Hargrave in the first film. He's the person who get her hired by Nik

While living in NYC, she was very good friends with John Wick's wife, Helen

When she and Tyler were paired up to work together in Dhaka, she was living in Prague, Czech Republic

My Tyler/Esme peeps: @mrsmungus @secretaryunpaid @youflickedtooharddamnit @tragiclyhip @watermeezer

And anyone else who reads/supports of course :)

Assorted thoughts on culture, generational trauma, racism, queerness and where they intersect for me

My family is from Bangladesh. Or they used to be. All of my great-grandparents were born there. At least 3 of my grandparents were born there as well. My mother travelled there on the back of trucks transporting hay. The town, practically the village, my father grew up in, is in Bangladesh.

There's this story my mother tells me. When I was around three years old, we were in a Bengali restaurant in New York and I was so happy to meet fellow Bengalis that I immediately started to speak Sylheti. They gave us a discount for that. called me Khuki and told my parents how nice it was to speak in the language of their home with someone once again.

Another time, another restaurant. This one is in London. I'm not three anymore. I don't speak Sylheti anymore either. They say I forgot because I had no one to speak it with. I don't even speak proper Bangla. It's now Bengali with a dash of Hindi. This time when we enter the restaurant, I don't approach the servers. They approach us and say how nice it is to find a fellow Bengali in the wild. We complain about how we're tired of white people food. My mother wishes she had macher jhol. The servers tell her to wait and bring out a plate of their own dinner. She cries as she eats it. Tears of joy and solidarity.

I'm twelve years old and for the first time, I decide to relearn my culture. I join a summer class, pencil in hand, ready to learn how to read and write all over again. I want to read my mother's magazines, the Feluda comics that she read out loud to me as a child. It paid off, but not in the way I expected, my mother fighting with my father, grabbing hold of my hand two days later as we boarded the aeroplane back to her father's house.

I'm 13 years old, on anti-depressants that I forgot to take some days, neurodivergence diagnosed, and learning more about myself each and every day. I come out as bisexual to my mom but do not tell her about my genderfluidity. Afraid of what she'll think when the daughter she always desired turns out to not be her daughter at all. We call my brother in Canada. He tells us about the people who shout slurs at him in the metro. We do not tell him that we are afraid that someday the slurs will turn into bullet wounds.

I'm fourteen years old, and my father's come to visit. It's his birthday so we travel to his parents' house. more than 4 hours away from ours. They greet us with barbed wire words on my grades, my brother's weight, my mother's inability to be a good wife. We smile through it all. I wonder how they can be so cruel. The people who cared for me when I was a child. The woman who named me now my worst enemy.

I'm fifteen years old now. My Bangla is clearer. Sharp vowels and clear consonants. It will never be rounded syllables of my childhood ever again. I learn of the Bengal partition in school. Learn how people killed each other in the name of freedom. I want to scream, "Amra shobai ek." We are all the same. We share the same culture, the same language but in different dialects, the same history. Stop killing, please. I'm tired of the violence and hatred, I say. This war started before I was born, will it continue after I'm dead as well?

I gathered the courage to google LGBTQ+ laws in Bangladesh today. And I realised something. I love my culture. I love my roots. I love this language, my ancestors, and every family member, even though sometimes I feel like there are too many to count. But I do not love what they have made of it. I saw the words splashed across the newspaper headlines, Anti - Queer laws still in place, Being gay is punishable with a life sentence in prison, a gay man is stoned to death in public and no one does anything to stop it. I do not cry. I've been doing nothing but crying for too long now.

Instead, I'm writing this. I'm writing this to tell everyone that it isn't over. I'm writing this to tell everyone that if I'd been born 413 km to the west exactly, I wouldn't be alive to write this post right now. I'm writing this because I am tired of our stories going untold, buried under layers of propaganda and zealotry. I'm writing this because people think my being Hindu, my being Indian, my being Bengali means that I cannot be queer.

Well sorry to prove you wrong. Because I'm still here. And I'm still kicking. And as long as I'm alive, I'm not going to stop. Neither will the thousands of others like me, telling their stories in a thousand different ways, fighting for their people in a thousand different ways.

So this one is for those still kicking.

We're Here

We're Queer

And we're ready to fucking fight.

Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay, a Bengali writer, lived in his own native land, yet he could describe places in quite a picturesque manner. He did work as a forest officer though.

For those who are getting to know him for the first time, I'd really recommend watching the film Chander Pahar with English subtitles. It's quite a family-friendly movie, if your kids can handle gore and action scenes. I'd rather say that it's better for teenagers though because of all the adventure through the mountains of Africa.

One of his stories I'm listening to is called "Moroner Donka Baje" (The Death Knell Resounds; the pronounciation is quite different from the word "moron," the first o in that word sounds more like 'a' from "ball").

A short synopsis: The story is set in the 1930s. It is from the POV of a medicine-seller and a doctor, who were trying to earn money by going overseas. Soon, they reach Rangoon and then to Singapore. From there, the two 'are (secretly) asked' if they could go as medical professionals to help the Chinese people and the soldiers against the Japanese invasion. From there, using a junk (a kind of boat), they try to reach Shanghai. What happens to them next?

One more thing I'd like to repeat: he neither visited Africa nor Shanghai. This 20th century writer relied solely upon the writings of others, including geographical/travel magazines.

If you're not much repulsed by research papers, you may read this one, because this is one of the only things written in English pertaining to this:

[houseofashesif]

he was born and raised in Varanasi, India until the age of 10. then he immigrated to Britain with his parents where he studied in █████ University till he was 18. (p.s. i changed his past from Keaton's death to simply getting tortured physically and mentally)

ABOUT HIM (p.p.s it's all jumbled up soooo-)

➤ Ayaan originally wanted to be a Wildlife Biologist, maybe a part time Toxicologist, but his father wanted him to join I-DIE so he did. albeit reluctantly and against his will. because his father insisted so.

➤ has a surprisingly very british sounding accent despite what people think when they hear about his indian heritage

➤ tends to violently and unexpectedly switch between hindi, english and bengali whenever he's agitated or just mad in general

➤ can be frequently seen facepalming himself on the face and letting out an anguished "কি খারাপ অবস্থা" (basically "what the hell" In english) whenever someone messes up something before him, which they frequently do owing to his intimidating reputation

➤ has a pet venus flytrap. and a poecilotheria metallica (aka peacock tarantula) too. which he always brings to work with him. apparently it's his emotional support tarantula. don't question it.

➤ his favourite animal is the Eastern Green Mamba.

➤ has been bitten by snakes more than 50 times so far. that, not including bites from wild hornets, his pet tarantulas, scorpions and etc

➤ Ayaan's house has a small greenhouse behind it, which is basically filled with all sorts of poisonous plants. 90% of them at least. but who even dares to test the statistics out. the poisonous garden is filled with Lily of the Valley's, Oleanders, Marigolds, Peruvian Lilys, Water Hemlocks, Wolfsbanes, Angel's Trumpets and many more. so better stay away from it. if you value your life that is.

➤ also has a seperate section in his house where he keeps all of his poisonous pets together. anyone walking in might think they just walked into a wild jungle out of the blue. one filled with creatures capable of killing you within minutes.

➤ weirdly enough Ayaan likes polishing and manicuring his nails with the greatest care as if his life depends on them (jk im just exaggerating), he will frequently pick the polish on his nails or simply pick his nails in general if nervous or uncomfortable or even flustered. at least the remaining ones that is. Ayaan is missing 4 nails on his left hand including his thumb, then 2 nails on his right hand, courtesy of the kidnappers. he greatly cherishes his remaining nails. and is therefore always seen wearing black gloves no matter the circumstances. wouldn't wanna scare people off yknow.

➤ for some reason, Ayaan attracts the attention of animals, especially this one time when he and keaton (when they were still alive) chose to explore one of their bases in rome instead of riding in a cab, and he petted a cat he found by chance on the streets and the next thing he knew he became their new god

➤ "he killed me. Father just killed me."

➤ "i feel like i did a really good job, so you should give me overtime compensation and an extra long vacation"

➤ ”ah someone died here? no biggy, i come from varanasi afterall, the city where the world comes to die.”

➤ "i used to have this creed, if you can't trust them, don't use them. if you're gonna use them, trust them."

➤ he is a very llight sleeper. even the lightest creak of a door swinging in the wind is enough to wake him up immediately. therefore seeing him sleep deprived and drinking an unholy concoction of monster drink with vodka and iced coffee isn't uncommon. very rarely will one ever find him heavily asleep.

➤ despite his dyslexia, Ayaan loves reading books, newspapers, magazines and literary works of any kind. he usually prefers to read nonfictional works like autobiographies, even instruction manuals over fictional works because they expose him to more vibrant and useful words, plus providing insight on different real-life events and experiences. sometimes he may read a realistic fiction or two, but that's only if he finds nothing else to read. he’ll usually read them for an hour or two everyday inorder to keep his mind fresh with the knowledge. his favourite book is ‘daughters of the samurai; a journal from east to west and back’.

➤ Ayaan was once addicted to marijuana and smoking, but slowly he got rid of his unhealthy addiction. however he still smokes, although not as bad as he used to. however there are times when he's so stressed that Ayaan will start reverting back to his past self and smoke as many as three packets all at once in a single day. it's surprising how his lungs haven't collapsed yet.

➤ thinks very lowly of people, especially politicians. imagine his surprise and horrow when he was assigned to one. he planned to quit the job for a second there but hesitatingly agreed to the job fot some reason. hmmm…

➤ although he's more of a non violent person (if speaking and humiliating people into submission is anything but), Ayaan won't hesitate to throw hands if he wants to. he's skilled in krav maga, taekwondo and muay thai, courtesy of his father. he will beat the shitz outta you, then mock you by going "why you weak? huh why do weak?"

➤ has an especially soft spot for scalpels and sniper rifles. although he isn't partial towards pick axes and haandguns either.

➤ will look into the eyes, call you the ugliest piece of disgusting wet stale dough then walk away nonchalantly as if he just said that potato chips are made from potatoes.

➤ oranges are his favourite fruits. not because he actually likes it but because he can spray the citric acid in its peel on the eyes of any unfortunate fool who dares invade his personal space.

➤ personality wise, he can be described by the following words. Sophisticated. Quiet. Listless. Calm. Sadistic. Workaholic. Generous. Determined. Dense. Volatile. Sensitive. Ill tempered. Self destructive. (das a lotta worse tho)

➤ has shown multiple signs of psychopathy in the past despite not being a psychopath, including his apparent lack of empathy for those around him and his balant disregard of law. literally he doesn't even bother to remember people's names and only calls them as 'you'. only remembers Nadia's and Ailbhe's name.

➤ as a reciprosexual, Ayaan has never really formed any kind of strong relationship with anyone so far. not even his own family members. he thinks dealing with people is annoying already, and having a significant other isn't even in his list of to-do's before death. therefore he is quite dense. no scratch that, he's so dense light bounces away from him. every time someone tries to flirt with Ayaan or express their feelings for him :

➤ as a child (and adult) Ayaan suffers from an undiagnosed reactive attachment disorder. “a condition in which a child is unable to establish healthy attachment with parental figures or primary caregivers. [...] children with RAD have been so disrupted in early life that their future relationships are also impaired. they may experience difficulty relating to others and are often developmentally delayed.” [source : helpguide.org]

➤ can be VERY VERY petty and vengeful depending on the circumstances. he likes to return the pain back 10 fold worse to those who are unfortunate enough to piss him off.

➤ likes to talk about adult stuff in a pretty anatomically scientific sense. especially about kinks, sex and etc. even though he isn't kinky at all (or is it) he has QUITE the knowledge on it and several more forbidden stuff.

➤ he is NOT a kid friendly person. if a kid were to ask him a question like "how are children made?" he'll gladly give the child a detailed explanation about how sex works and how babies are actually made. mothers especially dislike him. he wonders why, seeing no wrong in it.

➤ can swear like a sailor. and he can rapidly change his cuss words from english to hindi to french within the span of a sentence. and he doesn't give a shit about what others think about him.

➤ one of his biggest pet peeves is people eating his food. he doesnt mind sharing his food with others, but isn't it a common courtesy for people to ask permission before they eat your food? apparently not, and this ticks off Ayaan to no ends. he’ll gladly buy you another meal if you are so hungry, but please don't touch his food without his permission. maybe if you ask nicely he may be willing to share some with you tho

HELLO HELLO 👋 here's my detailed profile on my MC Ayaan :D (@rf-interactive ) he's gonna be paired up with Roman, much to his dismay XD

To those who don't know what it's about, QUICKLY GO AND CHECK OUT RESPICE FINEM BY THEM IT'S SO GOOOOOOOOOOOD

Saradananda.

Saradananda (23 December 1865 – 19 August 1927), also known as Swami Saradananda, was born as Sarat Chandra Chakravarty in 1865, and was one of the direct monastic disciples of Ramakrishna. He was the first Secretary of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, a post which he held until his death in 1927. He established the Udbodhan house in the Bagbazar area of Calcutta, which was built primarily for the stay of Sri Sarada Devi in Calcutta, from where he used to publish the Bengali magazine Udbodhan. There he wrote Sri Sri Ramakrishna Lilaprasanga in Bengali, on the life of Ramakrishna, which was translated into English as Sri Ramakrishna, the Great Master. He is believed to be reincarnation of Saint Peter (Direct apostle of Jesus Christ) and he allegedly went into Samadhi when he was in the Saint.

BSD OC

Sukumar Roy

Ability- HaJaBaRaLa (I might change the name later but I like how silly it sounds)

He's based on a Bengali Author by the same name and I'll just drop the Author lore before I get to my oc lore.

Author lore-

Roy was born in the pinnacle of Bengal Renaissance in a family filled with literary talents. He's father Upendra Kishore Roy was friends with Rabindranath Tagore who influenced a lot of Sukumar's writings. Some of his other family friends include - prominent Indian scientists Jagadish Chandra Bose and Prafulla Chandra Roy.

Sukumar Roy himself graduated from Presidency College with double Honours in Physics and Chemistry and started writing during this time after being inspired by a classmate (he turned him into a funny character called 'pagla (mad) Dashu thus proving why one should never mess with authors and artists). He then went to School of Photo-engraving and lithography in London to study photography and printing technology, fascinated by art he also trained himself in illustration and illustrated all his characters himself.

He also has two articles in The Penrose Annual describing his new method for halftone block making. After Graduating he went on to join the Royal Photographic society. His father launched a children's magazine Sandesh (his family was rich af, they constructed a whole ass building and set up a fucking printing press for this 😭, my parents don't even pay me pocket money 🙂) which Sukumar started writing for after he returned from England.

Ability-

(finally, the nice part)

HaJaBaRaLa manifested in Sukumar when he was five years old. The ability allows him to Take up to five animal pictures, merge them into one and morph them into reality (he basically creates Frankenstein animals 😑). All of the animals he creates can communicate with him and understand human language.

OC lore-

(finally)

Sukumar Ray's father was an Indian spy and nationalist who worked for the Red Fort and helped the country in The Great war, He died when Sukumar was five which resulted in the annihilation of his whole family by a mysterious organisation and manifestation of his ability.

He travelled east and stayed in Sundarbans for the following 12 years stealing from locals and staying with his creations, this allowed him to hone his abilities and be on par with powerful ability users of the country.

He met his current mentor Rabindranath Tagore in The forest itself at 17 and pestered him into joining his ability based organisation after losing in a fight with him. The death of his family still affects him to this day and he still searches for clues of that organisation whenever possible. He also has a sweet tooth.

(I'm planning on making Tagore a similar character to Fukuchi, not all that similar but some traits would match)

I thought it'd be nice to share some of the og author's work so-

Khai-Khai (Eat-Eat)

Heshoram Hushiyarer Diary (The diary of Heshoram Hushiyar)

HaJaBaRaLa (Mumbo-Jumbo)

Jhalapala O Onanyo Natok (Cacophony and Other Plays)

Lokkhoner Shoktishel (Lokkhon Shellshocked)

Chalachittachanchari

Shabdakalpadrum

Bohurupi (Chameleon)

Abak Jalpan (A Strange Drink of Water 1914) Bhasar Atyachar (Torture of Language 1915) Barnamalatatva (Theory of Alphabet) Desh-Bidesher Golpo (Tales from Many Lands) Jiboner Hisab(Bidye bojhai babumoshai)

That's all thanks for reading 🩵

The Origins of Lima's Creole Street Food

Nico Vera (Whetstone, 2020. Year estimated by using archive.org since the year is not included on the post itself %#$(*!) P.S. on becoming vegan at their own blog

In the 1872 book Tradiciones Peruanas (Peruvian Traditions), Peruvian writer Ricardo Palma (1833-1919) shares stories of Peru’s history. Some were about Inca traditions or Peru’s independence, but most were about all aspects of creole life in colonial-era Lima. In one story, he documented the daily routine of street food vendors. From 6 a.m. until 8 p.m., they sold drinks and a variety of sweet and savory foods that are still popular today. These are some of the hourly highlights:

7 a.m.: tisanes and chicha 10 a.m.: tamales 12 p.m.: empanadas 1 p.m.: alfajores 2 p.m.: picarones and causa 3 p.m.: anticuchos 7 p.m.: mazamorra morada

Behind Recipes Of Convenience Is A Story Of Sacrifice

Sharmila Vaidyanathan (Whetstone, 2021)

Shanmugam takes her viewers into the kitchens of Chettinad and shares that the summa kuzhambu was a quick-fix side dish that women made for themselves. A secret indulgence, you would think. Not really. When the main accompaniment for a breakfast of idlis was polished off by the menfolk in the family, the women quickly sauteed onions and tomatoes, and added tamarind water, spices and garlic (you must have garlic to make this kuzhambu, insists Shanmugam) to make a flavour-packed dish that they could generously dip their idlis into. A recipe without vegetables, using what is always available — just like that! ... Once made by women in Maharashtra to use up leftover modak dough, nivagrya has now been co-opted into mainstream festive traditions ... Sandeepa Mukherjee Datta, author of popular blog (and the cookbook by the same name), Bong Mom’s Cookbook, said that ilish maacher matha'r tauk, a sweet and sour Bengali dish made with the head of the hilsa fish, was one of the recipes that was mainly eaten by the women in her grandmother’s home. While the rest of the family enjoyed the meaty parts of the fish, the head and tail were used in this dish. "Women often used leftover ingredients, but they had the tastiest bits for themselves. They cooked using prawn heads and chicken liver, frying them to make delicious meals," shared Kathija Hashim, a recipe developer and culinary consultant from Kerala who runs a blog called The Malabar Tea Room along with her daughter, Aysha Tanya.

24 mai : le Bangladesh célèbre son poète national

Il y a 125 ans naissait Kazi Nazrul Isaam (1899-1976). Ce poète bengali, né dans une famille musulmane de l’actuel Bengale occidental, s’est fait connaître par sa critique du colonialisme britannique. En 1912, il avait lancé un magazine bihebdomadaire, Dhumketu ("ধূমকেতু", "Comet") qui critiquait l'Empire britannique. Surnommé le « poète rebelle », Nazrul Islam était surveillé par autorités britanniques du Raj. Son poème politique,  Anondomoyeer Agomone (আনন্দময়ীর আগমনে), lui valu d’être arrêté en 1923 et accusé de sédition.

Nazrul a produit un vaste corpus de poésie, de musique, de romans et d'histoires sur des thèmes tels que l'égalité, la justice, l'anti-impérialisme, l'humanité, la rébellion contre l'oppression et la dévotion religieuse. En 1972, le Bangladesh nouvellement indépendant lui confère le titre de poète national, avec le consentement du gouvernement indien. En 1976, juste avant sa mort, lors d’un séjour au Bangladesh, il a obtenu la citoyenneté bangladaise. Pour Nazrul Jayanti (নজরুল জয়ন্তী), les écoles, lycées et université du Bangladesh fêtent un poète qui a influencé le monde littéraire du Bangladesh avec sa poésie, sa musique, ses philosophies et ses opinions révolutionnaires. Il est très populaire en Inde et dans la diaspora bengali, au même titre que Rabindranath Tagore.
