Hi lulu, so i was wondering if have you played Far cry new dawn in French, does roger talk in another idiom?
In spanish he stills talk in french
Hi! Yes, I played New Dawn in French and Roger has the same Québécois accent he has in English. It even seems he’s played by the same actor, Vincent Leclerc, whose name appears among the other French voice talents in the credits.
As for some of the (Canadian) French words he uses, such as “osti”, “tabarnak”, or “caulisse”, they’re typical slang/swear words from Québec that we don’t use in France, so they kept them in the French version and they sound as funny and exotic as they do in English.
It’s rare that Far Cry characters who speak with a non-American accent end up also having an accent in the French version of the game, but Roger thankfully kept his!

Focusing on the Oyo Empire first in West Africa for specific reasons:
Out of the various African states in West Africa and the Sahel to receive more specific focuses, the Oyo Empire comes first for very specific reasons. Not least that it was the established power in the land when Usman Al Fodio built the Fulani Jihad to undermine it out of anger and envy that a proudly and defiantly infidel state had greater power than the Muslim majority around it. Second, that in contrast to the events of The Woman King in actual history it was Dahomey Amazons raiding their fellow pagans in Oyo for the slave trade rather than the other way around.
And of course in the other aspect because Yoruba people, of whom this was their major state, are a key component in the various religions of Voudoun, Santeria, and Candomble and their historical-cultural traditions are key to the African diaspora. Yoruba, Igbo, and Ashanti were among the groups most ravaged by the trade, and for this history 'rewarded' them by making the victims the villains with a straight face.

Wonder Woman Villain Movie Ideas, Part I: Cheetah
Since the only Wonder Woman villain I considered to have been done and done well, and not just an afterthought to a plot about another villain, whose becoming said villain was the result of a convoluted and weirdly worded wish, we won't worry too much about saving any until the end, except for Ares.
Barbara Ann Minerva AKA the Cheetah started out as a friend of Wonder Woman, an archaeologist who helped translate for her when she first left Themyscira. Her obsession with ancient relics and desperate lust for power led to her become the champion of the fictional (non-real-world, more accurately) African plant god Urzkartaga, who transformed her into a half-human half-cheetah monster consumed by bloodlust.
Origin Movie: The difficulty with doing Cheetah in an origin movie is that there's a pretty wide gap between Wonder Woman's origins and her own, making it so that the movie would probably end up convoluted and overstuffed. You could mess with the shared "champion of Gods" angle, but I think the best way here would be to do a campy 50s style movie with Priscilla Rich just being a spoiled heiress jealous of Wonder Woman stealing her spotlight.
Sequel Movie: This is the more natural way to do Cheetah right, and in that way, WW84 was at least on the right track. She just deserved the full focus. If I were to do it, Barbara would be part of the first movie, part of that same team alongside Steve and Etta, with seeds sown of her obsession and yearning for power. Then in the sequel, have her researching African gods and ending up becoming the Cheetah. (Maybe introduce Nubia? I'd have to do more research on her before I can say for sure).
Finale Movie: I can't say that I totally see Cheetah being a good fit for finale villain, as she more fits well into the "rival" category than "big bad." One thought could be to switch her Godly patron from Urzkartaga to Ares, having her be the champion of Wonder Woman's ultimate nemesis.
Supporting Villain: Well, we've seen that. It wasn't very good. That said, Cheetah is always one of the expected regulars whenever you see some form of "Legion of Doom" or "Injustice League" or something like that, and she works well in the role.
Here are my rankings of them:
Sequel Movie: Clearly the best way to do her story.
Supporting Villain: For the "Legion of Doom" angle.
Origin Movie: Best way to do the Priscilla Rich version of the character.
Finale Movie: While it could be an interesting twist, I'd rather not just turn her into a servant of Ares.
What do you think? Who should I cover next?

Some of my Heathers head cannons!
(most of these will be for both movie and musical but i shall specify if otherwise)
Heather used to be a huge basketball player back in middle school (she was even on the school team), but her mom didn't like her playing it and wanted her to do netball instead. Heather stopped playing both sports but ended up playing volleyball, which she stuck with - but only did it for fun.
Heather was really mature for her age, even as a little kid. This meant she wasn't particularly popular in elementary school (apparently trying to referee tag-your-it and cussing out the other 7 year olds didn't make you cool), but once she got to middle school, everyone wanted to be grown up and Heather had a long head start.
Veronica (movie) used to be a really high acheiver at the beginning of high school, but as she got older, and became friends with the Heathers who didn't prioritise school, her grades dipped. Not enough to cause any damage to her future because Veronica's incredibly intelligent, but she would stress over them and get really annoyed at herself. After the events of the movie, Veronica and Duke make up and end up studying together.
When Heather first made friends with Heather, Duke was confident, self-respecting and in a good place about herself - not as in arrogant, just confident. Then as they grew up, Heather noticed Heather and other girls doing that thing where they complain about how ugly they look when they dont actually think they're ugly. This confused Heather a lot because she saw Heather as really pretty, prettier than her even. So then she started to think, "if Heather doesn't think she's pretty, then where does that leave me?" And thats when her insecurities started.
Heather's parents are from South Korea, Heather's father is Nigerian, specifically Yoruba (although she's white passing), Veronica's mother is south Asian and Heather's family is Irish
Heather's parents where pretty supportive of her and her education and didn't put too much pressure on her, but she wasn't as focused on as her older sister. Heather was still loved her parents, and she knew that, sort of, but as she got older, the second place treatment only made her more insecure.
Heather's father and mother split up when Heather was a sophmore but she didn't really like to talk about it. She's a lot closer to her father than her mother, becuase her mother used to drink a lot and was very difficult to deal with when she was drunk. Heather's dad was pretty supportive of her emotionally, and Heather was the same for him.
Heather's father had wanted a son, but gotten Heather as a daughter instead, and subsequently stopped caring about or loving Heather or Heather's mom. While Heather loved her mom, she was dissapointed by the way her mother still cared for her father dispite his obvious disinterest, so Heather decided she wouldn't date anyone who she actually felt anything meaningful for.
Veronica's childhood was mainly okay, until she was offered the oppotunity to move up into highschool early. While her parents and her decided not to, this then prompted her parents to put pressure on her to do amazing at her current level because "if Veronica could be passing 3 grades above her, then she sure as hell will excelling where she is." This was... a lot of pressure for a 12 year old but Veronica dealt with it pretty well until high school, at which point her parents layed off a bit.
ummmmm also, Veronica is bisexual, Heather is lesbian and demiromantic and asexual, Heather is bisexual with female preference (and possibly a demigirl) and Heather is lesbian :)

Baddie Check (Good qualities about you)🫦💋💄💅🏾
Tarot Reading
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile 2 Pile 3
🔮 Welcome to my tumblr!! I’m 🔮youthnighttarot🤗
Things to know
💜This is for entertainment purposes only and, not to be taken seriously
💜Take what resonates leave the rest
💜All feedback is welcomed as longs as it’s respectful
✨Take a breath before you choose your pile
Tumblr media
Pile 1
Tumblr media
Tarot cards pulled: 10oS, 8oP (rv), 10oW
Oracle cards: Edward VIII (story may resonate with you watch a documentary) Lover card
First things first when I was shuffling I was supposed to say clear the energy ended up saying clear the check. So maybe you be clearing this check pile 1 because you a baddie that’s about their money!! Ok I’m not sure if you know this yet but you are a sex fiend….not like in the addiction sense just the energy that you give off. It’s like that girl/boy could rock my world. You’re also really goofy like you be playin LMFAOAOAOA frfr.
You may have been betrayed in the past or backstabbed by someone who you worked with. They weren’t putting in any work and, you had to constantly take the brunt/bulk of the work. This could have overwhelmed you and even strained your creativity but you came out on top. With the 10oS this woman has knives all in her back but she’s focused on her phone. You may not be as nonchalant but, you don’t give basic bottom barrel hoes energy and time they don’t deserve.
You’ve been through dark times and felt overwhelmed by creative project or just in general. You may have lacked motivation within your career or in regards to money/stability. People see this and view you as resilient and strong. You are that girl/guy because you never let this betrayal or malicious gossip make you skip a beat. You can carry a lot but that doesn’t mean that you should have to, though this is part of your hood qualities. It can easily become a bad habit if you let it get out of hand. You may have an online social media business and you are thriving but need time to rest. This is also what makes you a baddie you will work your ass off and rest just as hard. (Yesssss pile 1 can you help me out with that)
Extra
💅🏾A king is nothing without the woman he loves
💅🏾Make your own kingdom and choose your own family….I feel you go by this mantra 🕉️
💅🏾Your very luxurious
💅🏾You’re a good lover because you don’t rely on lies or rose colored glasses, trying to be the next Edward and Bella like it’s a movie. You take it seriously and are logical/reall about what a relationship entails
Pile 2
Tumblr media
Tarot cards pulled: 7oC (rv), Judgement, the hanged man (rv)
Oracle cards: Gala Dalí, one eye open one eye closed
One of your good qualities great I should even say, is that everything good that comes in your life comes in 2s, 3s, or 4s. You have a lot of abundance surrounding yourself. Something regarding the eye of Horus is significant here. Ok some of the good qualities about you pile 2 is that you have a kind nature but you also know how to cut through bullshit. You are not one of those people floating through life and allowing things to happen to you versus for you.
You are quite a decisive person especially in matters relating to heart and emotions. You may be disconnected from certain religious ideals and people can view you as a hedonist. (Chile🙄) simply because you don’t always comply but little do they know spirit is divinely protecting you. You’re not emotionally unbalanced you feel how you feel no matter how hard someone tries to sway you.
You may not be spiritually bound to any particular religion and this scares people.
You could be a witch/high priestess for some of you. You’re just you and you don’t try to be anyone else but you. (Purr 🐈) So people could celebrate you or even look up to you many ones. (Archangel Micheal, Raphael, and Azriel are looking after you have a lot of power on your spirit team) (Yemaya and Oya for some of my Yoruba gyals) (Nana Asee for my Akan gyals shout out) (Aphrodite and Cupid?) (Freya and Odin) You have uncertainties sometimes but you’re emotions never cloud your judgment. You understand what it means to be in tune as you should!! You may have been spiritually inclined always but repressed for others peace of minds.
Extra
💅🏾 It is by being in the shadow that one emits the most light…you truly believe this and this way of thinking has greatly benefited you
💅🏾You used to constantly be looking over your shoulder or you just didn’t trust easily
💅🏾You no longer jump the gun, or assume you know someone’s nature until you see it in its truest form
Pile 3
Tumblr media
Tarot cards pulled: 9oW, The Magician (rv), The hermit (rv)
Oracle cards: Marilyn Monroe, Magic is being used (rv)
So you know when to take time out for yourself first of all pile 3. You can sense when someone is trying to manipulate or play the con-game with you. You also know how to get people to do exactly what you want but, you don’t maliciously take advantage of people rather suggest. You take time to yourself in order to pondering your actions or how other people actions led up to your actions. So you may avoid it happening again at all cost. You are a dreamer. Again I’m getting your not afraid to reflect on your wrong doings…you take accountability.
You’re a person who knows when to shut social media off. You have no aspirations to chance fame/notoriety it just happens for you. You’re not caught up in trying to be a baddie you just simply want to be you. That is as all nothing less. Some of you could have some sort of connection to gypsies or Eastern European culture?
You believe in divinity and equality, you dress nicely as well. You know how to stand up for yourself by saying no…you are not afraid of sitting with yourself or your thoughts. You’ve traveled (physically or mentally) long and far in order to get to this point in your life. You have the emotions, the career skills, and the mindset to wether any storm. You are not deceptive but can sense deceptions easily.
Extra
💅🏾Never pick stability over a good time…at first I was like 🤔but what I got is that you don’t just choose something because it will bring you finances or wealth you choose to do something or be with someone because it makes you happy
💅🏾You don’t use spells and magic on people to get them to like you they just do
💅🏾Whatever story that people have in mind for you, you say to hell with and continue to be yourself
Call me beep me if you wanna reach me🔮📱

Lyle’s IQ score Head Canon
Tumblr media
HEAR ME OUT: as much as Lyle def gives me himbo™️ energy, I also feel like he’s supposed to be…PRETTY SMART? he’s just also goofy. Like, I feel like he’s one of those friends that’s the smartest but also the dumbest person you’ve ever had at the same time.
Here is my evidence (dons glasses and grabs a laser pointer)
1. First and foremost, I’m pretty sure Quaritch wouldn’t let a dumbo be able to advance to the rank of Corporal, so Lyle needs to have SOME level of competency (but there’s still some room for his goofball nature lol).
Side note, studies show that people who are comical tend to have higher IQs since it ranks critical thinking to understand humor and make jokes. So Lyle is at least smart in that department.
2. In the first movie, we can see that Trudy trusts him enough to work on her Samson. We all know how much Trudy LOVED her Baby, so she must have had some serious trust in Lyle (someone who wasn’t an RDA mechanic) to let him even TOUCH her Rogue One’s equipment.
3. Also in the first movie, Lyle actually knows his stuff about combat theory and the AMP suits. When Quaritch has Lyle survey the aftermath of the Omatikaya’s retaliation for the destruction of the Tree of Voices, Lyle is able to describe in detail what the damages are. He’s able to tell that the arrows were fired from Ikrans based off the angles of the arrows in the damaged equipment and dead bodies, he can say for a fact that the AMP suits are not just damaged but what exactly is damaged (the Driver in this case).
4. Now in the 2nd movie, we actually get to see more of his smarts come into action. Lyle actually gets promoted from Corporal to Lieutenant and becomes second in command to Quaritch. The RDA wouldn’t let that happen if he was purely a trigger happy soldier; you needs some gray matter for that position.
5. Next, Quaritch looks to LYLE to pull the security feed off of OG Quaritch’s AMP suit. And Quaritch is a smart guy too, but it feels like Big Curly Q knows he’s out of his depth on this one and just hands it off to Lyle because he knows that he actually knows his stuff.
But ya, thanks for coming to my TedTalk :)
Also, a few other hcs I embrace
Lyle is that ONE gringo friend that knows FLUENT Spanish (and possibly knows other languages as well). And when I say Gringo, I don’t mean he’s white but is still Hispanic, no. There is a reason why JamCam named this man after Wainfleet, Ohio (the Ohio of Ohio). But nobody questions his ability to speak Spanish. You leave him alone in any Authentic Hispanic setting and come back in 20 minutes, they’re running to the liquor store because they already ran out of Tequila/pisco/etc. TEAM LATINO LOVES HIM
*side note, Jake probably knows some Spanish too since he did his tours in Venezuela. Who knows, maybe he taught some to Spider because he knows he’s team Latino. A
*and Quaritch probably knows some of Nigeria’s native languages (Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, etc) since he did 3 whole tours there before coming to Pandora
Lyle likes 90s music (Britney Spears, Mariah Carey) but mainly SHAKIRA. I could see him just dancing alone to Hips Don’t Lie and someone walks in trying to get his attention, but he doesn’t notice and they have to clear their throat and he just screams when he finally notices them
He can dance Samba, Cumbia, Tango, Flamenco. ANYTHING in that family HE CAN DO IT FLAWLESSLY ASU PAPI
Might come from a family of mechanics and worked in a mom and pop mechanic shop (I embrace that one HC where he has a love for cars and just engineering in general). Maybe he wanted to be a more refined engineer but just couldn’t pass the tests since he was more of an intuitive thinker and tests favor more of the technical thinkers.
Likes DragonBall Z but will never admit it

Modern!Human Hantengu Brothers headcanons
Heeeyyyy babiesss!!! I’m sorry it’s so late but I FINALLY GOT MY HANTENGU BROTHERS HEADCANONS DONE 🥹🥹!! I sincerely hope y’all enjoy them!
Alright so, The headcanon came from the roots in the manga. Hantengu (the demon) was known to have multiple wives and children and he killed every last one of them. After Muzan’s defeat & Hantengu was reborn, he sadly abandoned his wife and his two children because he still had his memories from his past life and felt guilt & fear. His son grew a bit of resentment for him and promised that when he became a father that he would be there for his children through and through. He met the Brothers’ mother because she was visiting Japan from Nigeria and fell absolutely head over heels in love with her. They soon started dating after getting to know each other. Then married later on and their first born son, Sekido was born, then came Karaku, Aizetsu, Urogi , & Zohakuten.
Their Mother, Dr. Kehinde Adeyinka- Hantengu is a OBGYN & their father Urami Hantengu is a co director for a very big movie production company. ( my boys came from riches but still humble )
Their parents come from different cultures so they always brought them up in a way where they were exposed to both equally. They know Japanese (that does include how to write in Japanese too), Yoruba, Nigerian Pidgin, English, and Swahili.
Tumblr media
SEKIDO
• Much like his past life, Sekido still remains the oldest. His birthday is September 3rd, 1995 making our angery baby a Virgo ♍️.
• When I tell yall he is nonchalantttt!! Whew! He literally says the first thing that comes on his mind. His mom always told him that he was like his father in that regard.
• Also much like his past life, he always looks angered (Resting bitch face go brrrrrrr) Most people are kinda afraid to approach him.
• Definitely gets annoyed by his brothers antics (mostly Urogi and Karaku playing pranks on him and pissing him off and Aizetsu constantly second guessing himself)
• Loves the rain and finds it peaceful when it’s thundering outside.. it sets the mood when he’s by himself playing the piano (one of his hidden talents)
• He works as a Auto mechanic at his own shop. (which explains how he knows to keep his cars in perfect condition)
• He is most DEFINITELY a cat person. He has a Black Maine coon mix named Zeus. He found him just laying on top of one of his cars one day as he was getting ready to go get groceries and when he came back from the store, he was sitting in front of his apartment and he started growing fond of him and took him in. Zeus is spoiled rotten so I can only imagine when Sekido gets a partner 🫠.
• Is a greeeeeaaaaattttt cook! Other than their mother, his brothers usually latch on to his place when he does cook. (He definitely has a special apron on when he cooks too) He learned from his momma 🤩
• Has a giant dragon tattoo on his back that was drawn by Zohakuten and tattooed by Managi (Modern Human Gyokko. In my headcanon, he’s a famous Tattoo artist that grew fame from TikTok)
• Definitely is a Heavy sleeper but don’t let that MF Fan Turn off. He gonna wake up PISSED.
• Academically speaking, Sekido is extremely intelligent. He graduated top of his class in High school & has a degree in Engineering (he also graduated top of his class in college too)
• BLACK COFFEE ADDICT! Can’t stand overly sweet coffee or sweet ANYTHING. Likes really savory foods! Lots of meat but not too too much. Also loves vegetables, stews, curry’s, and etc. The only thing he can tolerate that relates to sweet foods is dark chocolate.
• Definitely the type to go to bed by 10 pm (grumpy old man 😂😂)
• LISTEN! My baby is BUILTTTTTTT. He definitely hits the gym after work He’ll OCCASIONALLY go with Karaku if he doesn’t have to work. He’s also tall (he’s 6’3 1/2 and the tallest out of the brothers)
• He adores his family and anyone he deems close although he does get annoyed with their shenanigans he will always and forever care.
• y’all know that bath & body works scent “ Mahogany Teakwood” yeah, literally smells like that plus Shea butter & mint.
Tumblr media
KARAKU
• Karaku is the second Born like his past carnation. He was born on October 4, 1996 making him a Libra baby.
• He’s literally a big kid at heart but he’s really chill and down to earth.
• Much like his past life he’s really playful and loves a good thrill. It makes his blood pump lol.
• Loves teasing his brothers (mostly Sekido and Aizetsu) One time he played a prank on Sekido while he was asleep by putting a realistic looking robotic spider on him (poor Seki has arachnophobia 🥲) & when he woke up all hell broke loose and when he finally caught Karaku, he put him in a chokehold and it took Urogi and Aizetsu to get him off of Karaku. 😂😂😂 and you’d think after that he’d learn his lesson (he didn’t)
• He works as a Bartending Manager for a big club and always makes good money in tips because one he loves serving the drinks and seeing people’s reaction to his drinks and they all love him dearly.
• Speaking of, he Is a masttttterrrrr at creating drink recipes and has a miniature bar at his place. He’s also a fairly decent cook but still annoys Sekido because he likes his better 😂.
• Like I’ve said before, mans is a seriously talented dancer & he effortlessly woos people with his moves ever since he went viral online & has a lots of fans (no pun intended).
• He also posts videos of him making drinks on TikTok too and always picks the best songs but people mostly like when he does voice overs of what he puts in drinks.
• He also does Twitch streams from time to time playing games( likes games like FNAF, Dead by Daylight, or any kind of scary games.)
• I also headcanon that he loves Halloween mostly because it’s during his birth month.
• Has one tattoo on his arm of his moms first name. His mom always told him that he reminds her of herself back in her youth.
• Loves all animals but is more so a Dog person.
• HE DOES SMOKE WEED & VAPE!
• Academically he made A’s & B’s in high school so he is quite smart but still goofed off in class though 😂. He has a Bachelors Degree in Communications and is also apart of a Fraternity.
• DEFINITELY A GYM BRO BUT NOT THE TOXIC KIND. Takes his physical health and physique seriously but never ever talks bad about how anyone else chooses to do with their body. If they are happy, he is as well. He’s definitely not a bodyshamer & will put someone in check if they talk bad about someone around him.
• HES A LIGHT SLEEPER. Any little sound will wake him up instantly. One time he came home from work so tired that he forgot that he connected his phone to his big bluetooth speaker while he took a shower & also forgot that he set an alarm to wake him up in the morning for the gym and damn near had a heart attack when his alarm went off. 🥲
• Loves energy drinks and coffee but knows his limits on his intake and that too much caffeine isn’t good. DEFINITELY MEAL PREPS! Has meats, vegetables, and fruits.
• Like I Said, he takes his personal physical seriously. He has a skin care routine and he also smells really good too .. it’s like a Citrusy and warm vanilla type scent mixed with hints of his favorite cologne.
• He’s also fairly tall too standing at about 6’2
• He’s heavily into zodiac signs and reads his horoscope on the daily! Got the rest of his brothers into it. Sekido & Zoha thought it was stupid until they both did some research and it started singling out their individual character traits & that’s what sparked their interests in it.
• He’s a lover at heart so anybody that he loves he has them near and dear to his heart. If he loves you then you’re a 4LIFERRRRR.
Tumblr media
AIZETSU
• So he’s the middle child! His Birthday is February 20, 1998 making Zetsy a Pisces baby!
• Much like his past incarnation he’s quiet & monotone if he’s not comfortable around you but once he is comfortable he becomes relaxed and more expressive. Is very introverted.
• He was kind of bullied in school due to his quiet and timid behavior but when asked his opinion on something, much like his older brother Sekido he wouldn’t hold back the truth (it’s always the quiet ones)
• I would like to think that Aizetsu is heavily into meditation because it calms his anxiety and his nerves.
• PLEASE GIVE THIS BABY WORDS OF AFFIRMATION AND REASSURANCE!
• Aizetsu works as a computer tech and is very good with technology. He’s been very tech savvy since he was a kid always learning how it functions and knowing the ins and outs of it. He also works part time as a Lyft driver.
• His hidden talent is singing! Like I said in my last post, Aizetsu is a hellllaaaa talented singer but he only does so in private but if he sings around someone that means he’s comfortable with them.
• He’s into Zodiac signs thanks to Karaku. He’s a water sign (Team waterrrr) so he’s really good at seeing through people and strays away from those who he determines to be not good people.
• Doesn’t really go to the gym. He thinks it’s way too many people. Instead he finds alternatives at home and he was blessed with a high metabolism too so that’s a W for him. But don’t let that fool you, under what he covers up, he’s still buff. He is about 6’2, same height as Karaku.
• Made excellent grades in school. Mostly all As and graduated top of his class like his brother. He is currently in college pursuing software engineering and is still doing excellent academically!
• Is a good cook at best. Only sticks to simple stuff and doesn’t really like to go all out. Not particular about food but in the same breath, he does lean towards savory foods.
• Doesn’t have any tattoos but low key wants a treble clef tattoo on his chest or something small.
• Has a pet Bearded dragon named Toothless.
• Smells really good! I think he would smell like Cinnamon. Skin does get irritated during the summer time but it’s not severe. Does get tips from Karaku about skin care.
• Is much more of a tea kind of person and loves herbal tea (chamomile is his favorite)
• Not really much of a sweets kind of person.
• IS A VERY LIGHT SLEEPER. Imagine Karaku x10!! Will wake up if he hears the smallest sound or if the temperature is not to his liking (he keeps his place on 64 degrees AT ALL TIMES).
• Aizetsu is a very gentle, understanding, sweet, and thoughtful person and he has times where he second guesses himself but he definitely has a good crowd of people around him to keep his head held high.
Tumblr media
UROGI
• Like his past incarnation he’s the second to last born. His Birthday is January 4th, 1999 ( he’s only 11 months younger than Aizetsu)
• He is most DEFINITELY a wild child lmao! He’s like Karaku x3000 when it comes to getting a thrill out of doing some shit. As a child he used to like to jump off of crazy shit and oddly would not get hurt 😅
• Has always been hella adventurous since he was a young lad. Always loved being outdoors and being in nature and still does in his adulthood. Likes going hiking & climbing. He feels at peace outdoors.
• He once climbed a whole fucking billboard and sat there for like 10 minutes ( Karaku and one of their cousins has a recording of him climbing it)
• Not only is he super flexible and athletic but he’s also very musically inclined too. His singing voice is on par with Aizetsu and he can read and write music (to an extent).
• Urogi works at the same bar as Karaku (Yes they work together) literally trouble but make it double 😂😂. Much to anyone’s surprise they don’t cause THAT much chaos. If Karaku is thing one then Urogi is thing two!
• He also loves coming up with different type of recipes and they are all a hit. Him and Karaku compete to see whose drinks are the best at work but it’s all brotherly competition and never any hard feelings.
• Heavily into gymnastics too & have been since he was little! So you know he keeps his body in great condition and goes to the gym everyday! He is about 6’1 1/2.
• Academically he made a mixture of A’s, B’s, and some C’s. Never went below a C. Is very smart but is whole ass class clown. It only took one time for his parents to get onto him and he never caused any significant distractions again lmao. Did not want to attend college but chose to follow what he felt was good for him. At first his parents were a little mad but they let Urogi decide what was best for him and supported whatever he decided (WE LOVE GOOD NON TOXIC PARENTING 🥹).
• Can cook but absolutely hates doing it. Prefers takeout instead and only cooks when he is in the mood to do so.
• Very much a HEAVY ASS SLEEPER & SNORES. Can probably sleep through a loud ass storm.
• Smells very earthy but not in a bad way. Like a combination of Pine and Sandalwood. (His favorite body wash is Dove Sandalwood for its earthy tone) Has seasonal breakouts but worst during winter (poor baby)
• He definitely smokes weed but by himself or with Karaku.
• His weakness: HE LOVES SWEETS & JUNK FOOD. Mans can literally eat a XL pizza by himself.
• Urogi is all together a very friendly, eclectic, and outgoing person and everyone can’t help but love him (even though he sometimes drives them crazy) 😂
Tumblr media
ZOHAKUTEN
• He’s the last born baby of the brothers! He was born July 21st, 2007 so he is a Cancer baby!
• Like Sekido and Aizetsu, Zohakuten is a rather quiet, reserved person. But he is hellllaaaaa blunt. Zohakuten’s tone may come off a bit direct and blunt and a little harsh but I think he means well. (Sometimes)
• INTROVERTED.
• Also like his brother, he DEFINITELY has a resting bitch face and is his dads literally mini me.
• He is very much into art and loves graphic design. He’s also a very skilled digital artist as well.
• As a matter of fact, he drew the dragon design that Sekido has tattooed on his back for his birthday last year.
• He is still in high school and is very close to his senior year!! He makes excellent grades in school with straight A’s and has always.
• He is also a band student too! He plays the snare drums.
• After Highschool he does hope to help his dad out at the studio and work to save up for college. He wants to pursue a career in art.
• Since he still lives at home of course he gets spoiled by his parents but I don’t see him being the petty type like rubbing it in his brothers faces. Hell they be spoiling him too.
• He hits the gym with his brothers when they go. It’s like part of a bonding experience.
• He is about 5’9 ( his mom thinks that he’s on the brink of a major growth spurt.) For more context, their mom is 5’11 (momma a stallionnnn) and their dad is 6’7.
• HE HATES SWEETS! Prefers spicy foods though! Literally will go through a family sized bag of hot chips in 30 minutes and nobody knows how. (Not even me.) 😂😂😂.
• HEAVY ASS SLEEPER! That’s it that’s the post.
• Is willing to learn how to cook but only trusts his mother or Sekido to teach him.
• Karaku got him into zodiac signs too. He didn’t understand the concept at first until he read further and started seeing his attitude traits in what he read on Cancers.
• Not a people person but it is not as bad as his past incarnation where he bathed in hatred. Is willing to make some changes to his attitude and approach especially pursuing a career that deals with customers commissioning him for his arts but PLEASE do not piss him off or rush his work.
• He may not show it but he lovvvveesssss and adores his family!
I genuinely hope you all enjoyed my headcanons. I had been putting it off and putting it off and making revisions but I think that I love my headcanons for them. There are of course some more to come though so keep your eyes peeled. I will eventually start writing for more fandoms but I gotta let this Hantengu clone brainrot out somehow lmao.

Hii ik saw me many times but i love your blog so much about hobie and Miguel i have questions have any hc hobie being west African hc of that been there since watched movie i cannot get it out
I AM GOING TO SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM AT THIS BECAUSE YES YES I CAN
(also sorry if this is kinda Yoruba centric!! cause that's the area I know the best - for reference I myself am Bajan/Quechua (West Indies - Barbados / Indigenous Peruvian))
West African!Hobie Headcanons:
And because I'll never get a chance to talk about this again I'm gonna start off with the one I love most and the one people know most about (and that is demonized - literally - the most)
Hobie and Vodou (aka VooDoo):
Tumblr media
Yeah, I said it. Hobie can work. He got juju. He rootworks. He conjures. Whatever iteration, whatever title - if Hobie followed any religion it would either be Buddhism, which some argue that some sects can double as a moral philosophy,
-If he'd respect any religion. It'd be a Traditional African one and I'm putting money on Vodou.
[And heads up, I am not an initiate of Vodou, but I do actively practice African Traditional Spirituality (HooDoo/Rootworking) and Ancestral Worship. So take from that what you will.]
First of all - how punk would that be??? A West African religion demonized by the western world for centuries from Africa to Haiti to Louisiana - that praised ancestral worship and community first???
YES PLEASE. Some people might not really understand all of this but:
First things first, yes, he speaks Yoruba and if you call it 'Speaking African' he's going to flay you alive.
Like????? Hobie sweet talking in Yoruba??? I'll throw my self on the floor right now!!
Hobie practicing ancestor worship - and thanking all the oppressed people who gave their lives and suffered daily so he can live his life?
He'd have an altar in his house, a small one he keeps out of sight, even to Gwen.
Leaves offerings and bits of his meal on the altar. Cause he was once food insecure, but now that things are a little better, he can do that
Like even if he practiced a form of HooDoo or another sect that derives from Traditional African Spirituality (that doesn't involve initiation)
He'd want to give back to his ancestors, learn how to use natural herbs and work them, learning how to make powders, doing floor washes, sweeping a certain way
And having all of these routines related to his African spirituality that are so subtle but he thinks about always
Prays to his ancestors to give him strength when he's struggling with being Spiderpunk
BUT IMAGINE IF HE WAS INTITATED THO ????
Hobie in all white during ceremony???????
HOBIE BEING A CHILD OF SHANGO??????????
Tumblr media
NAH THEY AINT READY FOR IT
But even so -whatever Orisha got that boy head be putting in WORK.
And you know he keeps his beads on forever and always even under the suit!!!!
And the style!!! Hobie AfroPunk?!!!
I don't know if they have this elsewhere, but in NYC there's a music festival called AfroPunk - and it's full of black artists, and black people come out in these amazing outfits - and the goal is to incorporate as much African influence as possible
Tumblr media
HOBIE WOULD EAT THIS UP.
The inside of his vest being lined with African textile!!
He takes it off in front of you and you see that little pop of that of classic orange-gold color
Tumblr media
You just know he's wit it!!!
And the BEADS
(He should wear beads he's royalty compared to the raggedys at HQ)
[Cough] red and white shango beads [Cough]
Imagine Hobie giving his girlfriend a coral bead bracelet too AWWW
And telling them the significance??!!
He loves a woman in a headwrap. GELE ESPECIALLY but any type
And if you wear waistbeads UMMMMMMMM
As soon as he sees it peeking from under your shirt - IT'S GAME OVER
He's gonna wanna test if they working how they supposed to IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW.
AND The FOOD!
First of all - Hobie hates that British manners shit.
Was raised eating with his hands and loves it
He hates old white people who wanna stare cause he eats with his hands
He loves goat. Not me projecting he LOVES goat.
He really appreciates rice based dishes because they can fill you up - and you can't just buy them anywhere
Prefers Waakye to Jollof Rice but still loves Jollof
With FUCK UP some Fufu if he can get it
I say he eats standing up so he's just there at his kitchen counter eating Fufu and the most random shit in his fridge???
Like he'll be eating left over KFC with fufu - like what are you doing??? Thats - not a meal bro
He loves Okra (ew nasty ass) and he'll eat it all the time.
Especially fried okra but okra soup is cool too he's fine with that
His fried plantains go INSANE. They go SO HARD. They're to die for
He always picks the sweetest ones and it cooks them till they're all caramelized and shit YUMMMMM
(can you tell I like my plaintains sweet and soft cause I DO)
Extra Headcanons
He was not playing that when Gwen first came over - as soon as she stepped on the houseboat with shoes he was like "Girl-"
The first time Peter B. heard him speaking Yoruba he went "Wow, Hobie, Your Nigerian is great!"
Hobie, who already hates Peter B, looked at him like he was the dumbest mfer on earth like
'Right, and you speak American, right? Fucking bellend. I hate you. 'Nigerian'. It's Yoruba.'
Tumblr media
(He's only saying that cause he hates Peter personally and wants him to have a bad day)
Meanwhile Gwen was nice enough to just ask "What language is that?" (The correct way to do it, do not assume language names like Peter)
First time he went over to Peter B.'s place (on Gwen's insistence), Mary-Jane accidentally swept over his feet before setting her purse on the floor
and in the moment he knew he had to leave.
He's a streetkid, but since he's in the neighborhood so much he has like 45 different women he calls auntie - and they make sure he has good food to eat because 'you are so skinny! you need to eat more.'
He does that auntie shit where you're walking with him and you see someone you know and now they're in a long ass conversation
Or when he says 'goodbye' then stands by the door having a conversation and you're standing there in your coat like....'fam are we out or not cause i can sit back down'.
He always goes to meet the elders of whatever house he's in to introduce himself, very respectful of black elders and enjoys helping old the older black folk in his neighborhood.
He enjoys giving them respect and hearing their stories, helping around the house. Plus he gets great food out of it
ANNDD That's all of them I think!! Sorry if any of these were off the mark - a lot of these are from personal things I know about West Africa and things learned through Spirituality. I hope I got everything okay!
Thanks for this by the way I LOVE Hobie and culture you know he'd be SO proud!!
[If you've read this far - maybe take some time out to learn a bit about African religions - they're beautiful practices (open to black people - we're worshipping black ancestors) - but you can still learn about them and understand how modern culture often demonizes these types of religions. If anything, I hope you learned a little from this! Hoodoo, Vodun (VooDoo), and Santeria (Latino witchcraft) are not scary, dark practices!] And because I spoke about spirituality, imma put this here cause DO not be playing yknowwhatimean

Are you scared yet???
When we hear of blood sacrifices what comes to mind?
Devil worshipping, doing something evil
And why and how did our preception of this become so?
Tumblr media
Most of our perceptions of blood sacrifices comes from horror movies that are meant to cause over dramatic visuals.
When was the last time you saw a blood sacrifice?
People fear the unknown.
As European colonized the diaspora and Africa.
All aspects of African cultures especially the religion so to speak.
Random taunts of everything Africans did was devil worship and also Native Americans.
European's fear of the unknown, shifted the culture.
Tumblr media
The same fault or superstition that was caste on Native Americans and Africans. Europeans are guilty of.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leviticus 22:17-33 ERV
It might be because of a promise that person made, or it might just be a special sacrifice that person wanted to give to the LORD as a burnt offering.
If the gift is a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, the animal must be a male. And it must not have anything wrong with it. You must not accept any offering that has anything wrong with it. I will not accept that gift. “You might bring a fellowship offering to the LORD. That fellowship offering might be payment for a special promise that you made. Or maybe it is a special gift that you wanted to give to the Lord. It can be a bull or a sheep, but it must be healthy. There must be nothing wrong with that animal. You must not offer to the LORD any animal that is blind, that has broken bones or is crippled, or that has a discharge or a serious skin disease. You must not offer sick animals as a gift to the any animal that is blind, that has broken bones or is crippled, or that has a discharge or a serious skin disease. You must not offer sick animals as a gift to the LORD. You must not put anything like that on his altar. “Sometimes a bull or lamb will have a leg that is too long, or a foot that did not grow right. If you want to give that animal as a special gift to the Lord, it will be accepted. But it will not be accepted as payment for a special promise that you made.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Qurbani means sacrifice. Every year during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – a goat, sheep, cow or camel – to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, for the sake of God
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Human sacrifice???
A foundational doctrine of the Christian faith is that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ paid the penalty for the sins of mankind—that without this act of love by the Son of God, humanity would have no hope of life after death.
Tumblr media
In the traditional Yoruba religion and culture, sacrifice is referred to as (Ebo). It connotes offering something to a particular deity or cult in other to be in communion with them or to seek favours.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What is an EBO sacrifice?
Ebo, or sacrifice, is a broad concept including all types of sacrifices and offerings to the Orisha. These can include candles, fruit, candy, and various items or actions that may be appreciated by the Orisha. Ritual sacrifice is an important part of the beliefs and practices of Orisha worshipers.
Tumblr media
Various scholars describe Vodou as one of the world's most maligned and misunderstood religions. Its reputation is notorious; in broader Anglophone and Francophone society, it has been widely associated with sorcery, witchcraft, and black magic. In U.S. popular culture, for instance, Haitian Vodou is usually portrayed as destructive and malevolent, attitudes often linked with anti-African racism. Non-practitioners have often depicted Vodou in literature, theater, and film; in many cases, such as the films White Zombie (1932) and London Voodoo (2004), these promote sensationalist views of the religion. The lack of any central Vodou authority has hindered efforts to combat these negative representations.
Since the 1990s, evangelical Protestantism has grown in Haiti, generating tensions with Vodouists; these Protestants regard Vodou as Satanic, and unlike the Roman Catholic authorities have generally refused to compromise with Vodouists
Tumblr media
Leviticus 17:11 is the Old Testament’s central statement about the significance of blood in the sacrificial system. God, speaking to Moses, declares: “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.”
A “sacrifice” is defined as the offering up of something precious for a cause or a reason. Making atonement is satisfying someone or something for an offense committed. The Leviticus verse can be read more clearly now: God said, “I have given it to you (the creature’s life, which is in its blood) to make atonement for yourselves (covering the offense you have committed against Me).” In other words, those who are covered by the blood sacrifice are set free from the consequences of sin.
Tumblr media
Ancient Egypt was at the forefront of domestication, and some of the earliest archeological evidence suggesting animal sacrifice comes from Egypt. However, animal sacrifice was not a central practice of Egyptian religion, but was rather a peripherical occurrence that happened away from worshippers. The oldest Egyptian burial sites containing animal remains originate from the Badari culture of Upper Egypt, which flourished between 4400 and 4000 BCE. Sheep and goats were found buried in their own graves at one site, while at another site gazelles were found at the feet of several human burials. At a cemetery uncovered at Hierakonpolis and dated to 3000 BCE, the remains of a much wider variety of animals were found, including non-domestic species such as baboons and hippopotami, which may have been sacrificed in honor of powerful former citizens or buried near their former owners. According to Herodotus, later Dynastic Egyptian animal sacrifice became restricted to livestock – sheep, cattle, swine and geese – with sets of rituals and rules to describe each type of sacrifice
Tumblr media
Worship in ancient Greek religion typically consisted of sacrificing domestic animals at the altar with hymn and prayer. The altar was outside any temple building, and might not be associated with a temple at all. The animal, which should be perfect of its kind, is decorated with garlands and the like, and led in procession to the altar, a girl with a basket on her head containing the concealed knife leading the way. After various rituals the animal is slaughtered over the altar, as it falls all the women present "must cry out in high, shrill tones". Its blood is collected and poured over the altar. It is butchered on the spot and various internal organs, bones and other inedible parts burnt as the deity's portion of the offering, while the meat is removed to be prepared for the participants to eat; the leading figures tasting it on the spot. The temple usually kept the skin, to sell to tanners. The fact that the humans got more use from the sacrifice than the deity had not escaped the Greeks, and is often the subject of humour in Greek comedy
Tumblr media
Practices of Hindu animal sacrifice are mostly associated with Shaktism, Shaiva Agamas and in currents of folk Hinduism called Kulamarga strongly rooted in local tribal traditions. Animal sacrifices were carried out in ancient times in India. Some later minor Puranas forbid animal sacrifice though the upapurana, Kalika Purana, describes it in detail.
Shaktism traditions
A male buffalo calf about to be sacrificed by a priest in the Durga Puja festival. The buffalo sacrifice practice, however, is rare in contemporary India.
Animal sacrifices are performed mainly at temples following the Shakti school of Hinduism where the female nature of Brahman is worshipped in the form of Kali and Durga. These traditions are followed in parts of eastern states of India at Hindu temples in Assam and West Bengal India and Nepal where goats, chickens and sometimes water buffalos are sacrificed.
Tumblr media
Sacrifice of Animals has less to do with worshipping of Satan or being evil.
Sacrifices are not all blood some are symbolic, fruits, money, clothes, aspects of life.
Kobe Byrant had to sacrifice friends and family to become who he is.
We all make some type of symbolic sacrifice that can be time or if you are a Celebrity, you sacrifice your privacy.
Abrahamic Cultures and Europeans superstition towards non-European cultures tend to cause our consciousness of Sacrifices.
