#Carribbean parents

[flowerjob]

It’s tuff existing in a family full of women that only project their insecurities on you. I grew up hating myself because I never felt good enough for myself.

I’m much older now and I realized that these women don’t know how to love themselves.

I’m not like them , they’re still my biggest bullies and at times I still feel very insecure , but at least I know I love myself.

Born in Sydney in 1900 to parents from a Carribbean background, Nellie Small was a successful male impersonator. She often expressed her frustration that people doubted she was Australian simply because she was Black. Nellie lived for most of her life with the family of her manager, Edith Meggitt, with whom she had a very close relationship.

Stump! What was the first video game you played?

Whoa! I actually don't know... let me think

do mobile games count? if so then i think it would be either a cowboy flying game (Johnny Crash does Texas) (what a name) on my Sony Ericsson flip phone or a Bounce game on my Nokia phone

OR WAIT HOLD ON my moms cooler nokia phone had games on it as well!!! IT HAD A SHREK THE THIRD GAME I REMEMBER THAT (IT REQUIRED SO MUCH SKILL WITH 1-9 BUTTONS GRAHH), and also a building game? and a who wants to be a millionaire game, so now i don't truly know which of these could be the first one, im sorry 😭😭

this is such a cool question, i want to answer it for my own sake, let me have this guys-

i think its safe to assume i also got on parents' pcs at work. So then it could be windows pinball or minesweeper or any of those card games. Does windows paint count? I thought it was a game.

I happened to also have a mock-up of a laptop that taught you letters and numbers and stuff, let me find it real quick.

close...? but it was way chunkier and red and teal sorta. ...i mean, this had videogames! although kinda junky, i remember feeling like it was not truly fair. so it counts

or maybe my bro playing final fantasy (or something) on borrowed console on our huge (cube) tv, he was fighting someone and also he said that the yellow ostrich was called chocobo or something

maybe it could be that connect two tiles pokemon game. Speaking of pokemon it could be a rom on pc! Fire Red on bro's laptop! It could be a final fantasy isometric rpg game again (i searched for it several weeks ago and was so disappointed that it was FF again, my bro is a NERD jkjk you got this bro💪🏻✨)

maybe it could be on relatives PC, such as gta san andreas, assassin's creed, alavar games, lego star wars; relatives PSP with loco roco, naruto fighting game, simpsons movie game? with chocolate bunnies, pirates of carribbean; on childhood friend's PSP little big planet; ГРИБНАЯ ЭРА (ITS NY FAVOURITE GAME although it had a unskippable graphics error in one of the minigames, in Nostradamus brain specifically, but other than that it was great!!!!) and some лунтик learning game on PC my dad got from somewhere; lion king learning game? i honestly have the vaguest memories of it, смешарики параллельные миры ALSO MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE on our old pc, Beyond Good and Evil game where the bosses were spoopy :c (also listen to the voice acting in the first 30!!! seconds, holy smokes)

i think I've covered all of the bases here. tbh i still have no idea which one of these could be the first one... ^^"

my bets on mom's phone ones LOL

Undocumented people definitionally cannot vote. About 30% of them don’t speak Spanish and of those who do many are indigenous and Afro-Latino. So liberals “getting back at Latinos” by supporting mass deportation is incredibly stupid in addition to being blatantly racist.

Liberals never cared about these people. You can’t turn on a group that fast if your prior advocacy for them was genuine.

Perhaps anon responds to this post, where someone said that "everyone else around me who’ve been silent this year aside from getting up and vote scolding Arabs and Latinos."

Well, anon, I never meant undocumented Latinos, now, did I? You're assuming I thought undoc immigrants could vote, which...do you take me for a fool? And the operative word here is "scold" or blame people and point out their actions were contradictory and damning, because their vote did count (though the Democrats ran a bad campaign plus voter suppression so these are probably more why PoCs had such a higher number of Trump voters than anyone would think).

That's different from outright saying "Latinos don't belong in the U.S., they should get kicked out". I never said the liberals were right to say that. One calls out the action for what it is and the effects on not just Latinos but EVERY PoC/Black (African or Carribbean) undoc immigrants and their families or loved ones. The other is racist justification for more racist policies.

I meant-said those who did vote, who themselves have undocumented immigrants as parents, cousins, grandparents, etc., and those who may have been born here in the U.S. but are naturalized, Visa-having, what-have-you parents, grandparents, etc. Why did you think I meant undocu immigrants?

Once more, I didn't say that we should support or even joke about mass deportations. Nor that one should go around hunting down Latinos (and the other races other than the Black people [who voted towards Kamal nealry by 90%] and white people [totally unsurprising, even the women, there's no higher expectation from them]) of any citizenship status and beating them or harassing them or thinking you shouldn't help them out if they run into some trouble when one is out and about or think that Latinos are innately evil. I said pointing out that the people who shouldn't have voted for Trump but went out of their way to do so should be held accountable for it. If they voted to lower taxes for themselves, they messed up bc these were never meant for them & they basically agreed to sign their own deportation papers even if Palestine was never an issue for anybody here in the U.S.

Give credit where credit is due, or just acknowledge a pattern and investigate/question it. Kamala didn't assure possible voters for the Palestinians, but even with the 3rd party voters, she wouldn't have won. Neither by population nor electoral votes. That leaves then people who voted for Trump fucking this all up for basically everyone else...now who of the racial groups has surprised the most people this year bc of the turnout AND the vote percentages, anon? And before you say that naturalized/Visa-having/green card-having/1st and 2nd generation Latinos were not part of those a-little-more-or-less-than-half of Trump voters, I'll just say that you don't know that these people are always the majority of the Latino populations in the U.S. A lot of the new voters came from this macro-group and a few other populations; they are the outlier, not the static numbered-voters of other racial groups (white men vs Black men and women). truly, I don't think anyone can sit here and say that the PoC (not Black people) numbers weren't mind boggling bc of both the turnout and the direction of said vote percentages.

☼☾ ( jeanine mason, 30 , she/her , cis woman , de la rosa 5 ) - have you seen MARIA DE LA ROSA? we’ve heard through the grapevine that they’re DAUNTLESS but also TEMPESTUOUS. when you think of them , you think of A SHIP SAILING IN A SEA OF FOG, SMEARED PAINT ON CANVAS, HANDS COVERED IN GOLD RINGS.

Basics:

Name: Maria De La Rosa Title: Princess of Sicily Age: 30 Birthday: January 25th (Aquarius) Sexuality: Heterosexual Marital Status: Betrothed Positive Traits: Brave, tactical, creative, loyal, decisive Negative Traits: Violent, short-tempered, bold, cunning, vengeful. Hobbies: Painting, sailing, fishing, swimming Family: Vero De La Rosa (father), Diego De La Rosa (father), Felix De La Rosa (brother), Mechai De Medici (sibling-in-law).

The Story: (tw; murder, blood, drowning, fire, nightmares)

On board a ship that was so valiantly named The Serpent's Blood, a pirate captain and his appointed queen fell madly in love after killing her terrible husband. They abandoned her village life permanently for the high seas and birthed a daughter. Until the age of 5 years old, she was loved for and cared for by her parents, watching them pillage and plunder from below deck, watching her mother clean off her bloody sword. But life with this family went as soon as it came, for a raid by a mystery navy crew ended the lives of her parents and their entire crew, leaving the child as its only survivor. The poor girl washed up on the shores of Sicily, found by its kings and taken into their family. She had no memory of her previous life, no recollection of the raid. She was speechless, completely in shock. The kings named her "Maria", for she came from the sea and was given to them as a beloved gift. She grew up loved, learning to sail the moment she regained her voice. Though rebellious in nature and defiant by desire, she was a difficult, yet devoted child. Having younger siblings, as she grew older, only made it easier for her to sprinkle her bad influence all over them, taking them out to bars, going out with sailors, and learning their pirate heritage from the pirates themselves. One of those outings with the sailors lead Maria to a pirate captain's son. While contentious at first, their relationship grew from constant bickering to sailing a ship together and falling madly in love with one another on the high seas. They kept their affair a secret from her family, for fear that they wouldn't approve due to her being a princess and he a mere pirate. Whilst sailing together on a blissful evening, a navy ship arrived, arresting her lover for crimes of piracy and imprisoning him in the Caribbean. Maria was able to escape, but in doing so, she lost the love of her life, wondering if she were to ever see him again. She'd written diplomatic letters in hopes that he would be released to her as a personal bodyguard, but alas, there was no word in return. She was left to believe that he was dead, and so Maria relented and agreed to journey with her family to France to give up her fantasy romance on the high seas. However... Ever since that night, when love slipped through her fingers, Maria has been having the same nightmares. She believed, at first, that they were visions of the raid, but it was more than that. She seemed to be hiding below deck of a ship she did not recognize, blood, fire, and smoke surrounding her. Could it be those missing years from her childhood? Could there be something connecting her now to her birth parents? Now that there was little hope of her love surviving, she could bury her broken heart in research, attempting to discover who she is and where she really came from.

Established Connections:

The De La Rosa Family. The Pirates-Turned-Royals are the toughest of the other royals families that reside in Versailles, though they tend to come off the most awkward at most royal function, particularly when it comes to horseback riding. Her Papí, Diego, is the easiest for people to approach, and Maria turns to him in vulnerable times where she needs reassurance and comfort. One could look to her Papá, Vero, and see exactly where her stoic and rigid personality came from, and therefore he is often the only one she'll listen to. Felix, her brother, is quite the opposite from her, yet she would protect them with her life, along with her sibling-in-law, Mechai.

Jakob Hölm. Fiancé. What she needed more than forgiveness was redemption, a chance to make up for the years at sea, abandoning her royal life for constant voyages. Choosing Jakob as her betrothed, which would make him the future King of Sicily, was the only thing she felt she could do; give the people a king they deserve. She finds him kind, easy to talk to, and comforting, and the fact that she wants to be near him is entirely confusing to her.

Summer Isles in ASOMAM

In ASOMAM, once upon a time the Summer Isles is ruled by an oligarch of tribes. Then colonization and slavery from various corners of Free Cities, Slavers Bay and Westeros came along, and it went on for centuries, until Jericho Drumm's ancestors, the founders of the Royal House Drumm of Summer Isles, led fleets of magical wielders and rebels and gained independence of Summer Isles

Some generations later Jericho Drumm becomes King of Summer Isles at 22

And the rest is history

There is also another famous legend of the Summer Isles. Once upon a time, around more than 500 years before the events of ASOMAM, the people of the Old Talokan Island lived in relative peace until the Slaver Bays colonizers attacked. Cue a large group of survivors drinking in a special potion to flee to the undersea of the Summer Seas and founded Talokan. Soon after that, Namor was born

But Namor was also an avatar of the Summer Isles Sea Dragon god, and thus aged slower than most mortals there. When he was only a child by deity/mutant standards, his mother, who aged like a mortal, died of old age, and so he became king at as a deity/mutant child age. He wanted to bury his mother in a grave in Old Talokan, next to his father's grave. But when he got there, his parents' old homeland was ravaged by colonizers of Slavers Bay. Filled with outraged, younger Namor suddenly turned into a great sea dragon and drowned Old Talokan, killing all the Slavers Bay colonizers there and rescued the Old Talokan natives from the colonizers.

The sinking of the Old Talokan Island happened 500 years before the events of the ASOMAM, and the tales are retold over and over again till that day.

In ASOMAM, Wakanda and Talokan suddenly formed an alliance against the Lannister vibranium robbery threats, and Namor and his Talokan team formed a spy plan to spy on Westerosi intel of that Lannister vibranium robberies, while Namor disguised as a sea lord from Summer Isles who becomes a top naval general of the Highgarden court

Those Westerosi lords and ladies had no idea that the Sea Dragon of the Summer Isles is walking amongst them....yet.

Although the Summer Isles is also inspired by the Carribbean Islands, the Summer Isles has a myriad of Carribbean, Taino, Aztec and Mayan influences 😁😁

The Summer Isles society is hugely reliant on seafaring trade and boasted one of the most powerful naval armies in the ASOIAF/ASOMAM world

Adèle of Aquitaine

I grew up with my brother Dominique, he was two years younger. We lived in a small house in Aire-sur-l'Adour, together with our grandmére. My father was a lawyer, but without klients. During the Revolution most of his klients exiled to Spain, because of their royalistic relations or heritage. My parents were poor and my father considered to go to Martinique, one of the french "Islands under the Wind" in the Carribbean. We had distant relatives on the sugar-islands. My father's brother Jean-François lived there and he encouraged my father to join him and work for the rich plantation owners. But my father couldn't get the money for our passage across the Atlantic. The sea was controlled by the english so in the end it was too dangerous to leave France. Dominique and I were very disappointed, we'd already dreamt of a life on a tropical Island with the coral sea, palm trees, banana fruits and parrots in the trees. And Pirates with their ships in the harbours...

Because he couldn't work to earn money for his family my father educated my brother and me at home. We learned all the mathemathics, calliegraphy, grammatics, reading and spelling and all the european history a child needs to know.

We lived safe in Aire-sur-l'Adour during these dangerous years, but when the Revolution was over we felt like survivers.

#METEORSWORD — indie and selective S.okka from A.tla. Established in 2020, revamped 03/2024. An exploration of: the loss and regaining of faith, growing up too fast, the weight of responsibility, parental idealisation, being ‘funny one’ and feelings of inadequacy. loved by Sumin, 21, she/they, british-carribbean. (under reconstruction! please bear with <3)

this blog is mutuals only and i'll only write with those above 18, please respect this. If I follow you, I want to write with you! Don't hesitate to send unprompted things or tag me in stuff i love to see it.

This blog is also oc and crossover friendly

I use small text in replies, but if you struggle to read it, please let me know and i will change it for our threads

There will be no sexual nsfw here.

I hc s.okka as bisexual, shipping will be dependent on mun + muse chemistry.

I am not inuk but I will do my absolute best to represent S.okka's culture accurately! Please do let me know if I make any errors.

IMPORTANT. Bigotry and wilful ignorance will not be tolerated here. Rp is a hobby, and fiction is a great place to explore the unsanitary aspects of humanity. However, I expect others to be critical of the media they consume. Not everyone can escape into fiction; online or offline I, and other POC will experience bigotry in many forms so I don't want to hear anything about being "PC" or bringing politics into things. My existence as a queer black person was made political and it will be online and offline. I'm not one to make posts telling people who they can and cannot follow, but I will call out shitty behaviour and block if it's not corrected. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc, is not tolerated here.
