It's December 6th. 🐢 On this day in 1534, the modern city of Quito, Ecuador was founded. The city's origins trace back thousands of years before that, though. Archeologists have found hunter-gatherers' tools of obsidian glass dated to 8000 BCE at the nearby EI Inga site.
The historical record begins in the first millennium when the Quitu Tribe occupied the area. Around 980 CE, the Caras Tribe conquered the Quitu and founded the Kingdom of Quito. This kingdom eventually consolidated with the great Incan Empire until the Spanish Conquistadors arrived and subjugated them. Diego de Almagro founded the first Spanish settlement, Santiago de Quito, on August 15th, 1534. On August 28th, it was renamed San Francisco de Quito, and on December 6th, the settlement was relocated to Quito's present location.
Today, Quito is the capital of Ecuador, as well as its economic and cultural center. In 1978, Quito became the planet's first city to be declared a United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site thanks to its geographical beauty, 18th-century architecture, priceless indigenous and colonial treasures, and its living traditions and culture. Perched 2,850 meters above sea level and stretching 58 kilometers across a volcano-lined plateau, Quito is one of the most beautiful cities in South America. Disfrutar el día, Quiteños! ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

#MCtober2024 - Week 2
Based on @lamieboo's #MCtober2024 event (click on #MCtober for more info).
What are your MC / OC study habits?
Iñaki has a few methods of studying as you can see above. She usually doesn't like to review in groups (unless its with trusted friends) until she feels comfortable with the material on her own where she knows what she doesn't know and can bring it up to the review session. While on her own, she'll either will use flash cards, rewrite notes or teach Uturunku (her jaguar plushie) in her shared dorm room. Eventually Imelda joins in on her teaching session with Uturunku since the two girls are in the same class and share the same dorm. Once she gets more comfortable with Sebastian and Ominis as friends, you would often find Iñaki in Undercroft studying with the two boys especially when Midterm Season hits and the library is packed. She would usually be sitting on cargo crate box reviewing her flash cards or notes, waiting for the boys to show up. She also like doing reviews on charms, spells and dueling techniques with Sebastian by physically practicing them in the Undercroft.
Her other known study locations is her dorm room or the Slytherin Common Room with Sebastian when burning the midnight oil, the Room of Requirements (not often since it's out of her way) and the Great Hall with her friends who are in the other houses. She also likes white noise the noisy Great Hall provides. Iñaki vs History of Magic
Iñaki hates Professor Binns. She thinks he's the most boring-est person in the planet with how monologuist, plain and calming his voice is and hates how he can knock her to sleep. It is her goal to actually sit through class and stay up completely for once and take notes, but she can't. She always knocks out if she's trying to focus and ends up becoming Ominis' pillow once the two are friends.
At least Ominis is kind enough to share his notes with her as he takes them with a bespelled diction quill that he'll later transfigure the notes into braille. Eventually Iñaki gets her own diction quill like everyone else in class does.
After a couple of classes with Prof. Binns, Iñaki will eventually accept that she's either going to nap in this class period or try to get ahead and do homework from her other classes with her enhanced earbud on to listen to music while her diction quill does the work of taking notes down.
Iñaki's Girl Crew
Iñaki becomes especially close to Natty, Poppy and Imelda for different reasons:
Natty is the first friend Iñaki made while at Hogwarts. She and Natty bond over living in a foreign country far from their homelands and learning to live in a different world. Natty's friendship is important to Iñaki because she is one of the few people who really gets what Iñaki is going through and the same is true vice versa. It isn't surprising to see one going to the other to have a good cry over missing their homeland. Natty also was the one who helped her finish her animagus training in secret and saw her transform into a jaguar for the first time. At one point, the two would go running in the Forbidden Forest in their animagus form, baffling any locals as to where a gazelle and a giant cat came from. Natty is also the first person Iñaki says is her friend.
Poppy's friendship with Iñaki began after defending the kneazle in class. After they partnered up in Beasts class that same day, the rest became history. Poppy enjoys Iñaki's frank and playful nature and Iñaki's enjoyed Poppy's bluntness and kindness (it reminds her of home). The two girls end up bonding over being oddballs, caring for beasts and going over the different magical beasts and their tales around the world. Poppy especially loves it when Iñaki tells her stories about the magical beasts native to the Americas that you wouldn't be able to find in Europe and ends up making it a goal to see the thunderbird that lives near Niagara Falls one day.
Imelda Reyes at first is Iñaki's roommate. For about five minutes until Iñaki grumbles in Spanish "¡Ay!¡Por el amor de Dios! after stubbing her toe against her misplaced suitcase as she was moving in a week later after arriving at Hogwarts. Imelda was surprised to learn that the American spoke Spanish. Iñaki didn't realize Imelda was Spanish (Imelda holds duel Scottish-Spanish citizenship) and spoke Spanish as well. They became friends like a house on fire due to their Hispanic heritage (Iñaki's family is originally from Latin America who immigrated to the US. Imelda's father was the one who moved their family to the UK when he went play on Puddlemere United to be close with them). They only speak Spanish to each other as it makes them feel at home as they both miss speaking it while at Hogwarts (There's very few Spanish speakers there). The two spend a lot of time talking about their Hispanic Heritage while comparing and contrasting the differences in the cultures (Iñaki' is bicultural as her Latino roots hails from two different countries) and the Spanish language as well.
When Imelda found out that Iñaki has family in South America (but didn't realize Iñaki was a first generation/muggleborn witch) she immediately assumed Iñaki was good at quidditch due to the sport culture in that continent (quidditch is essentially the magical equivalent to soccer/fútbol) and tricked her into trying out for the team in having Iñaki play in pick-up quidditch games since it didn't seem like she wasn't going to try out because she seemed nervous about it (in Imelda's eyes). The moment Iñaki realized what Imelda was doing, she calls Imelda out and the two end up having a frank discussion as to why Iñaki didn't play quidditch (American racism is the reason why - Iñaki didn't want to play into the stereotypes and found she couldn't really enjoy playing the sport back in New York) despite being good at it (Iñaki played with her first-generation/muggleborn mage cousins on both sides of the famiy as a kid and picked up the sport pretty fast). In the end Imelda helps Iñaki get over her prior reservations on playing the sport but not enough for Iñaki to play as a starter. Iñaki ends up playing as the reserve chaser though and ends up as a starter in sixth year during her last year at Hogwarts.
The four girls accidently become a friend group through a class project. Iñaki had them all meet at the Three Broomsticks to discuss what they would be doing and it spiraled to the four girls realizing they were outsiders in different ways as they talked about their lives and bonded over feeling like a fish out of water at times with their peers. They ended up making outing to the Three Broomsticks for lunch to be a weekly thing after their class project was done as all four became close friends with each other.

I have a teeny tiny question for Hima
So here is the character design for Cuba
And here is Ecuador
This is arguably a better character design than half of the other characters. Plus how can he draw these random South American countries without actually saying who they are?
Then look at Cuba and his design it's so unique and so cool!
So please Hima why can't you design more Latin American nations?
You have the skill and potential it doesn't need to be that much just designs
#hetalia#hws ecuador#hws cuba#latin hetalia#crying because Hima's art style has improved tenfold since he began the seriws#so new character designs are well done and more unique now it seems#so why hima

VILE faculty : now that we know about Chase Devineaux, we know Carmen Sandiego does not work alone!
Zack and Ivy : Um.
VILE faculty : we had no way of knowing she had accomplices. We had never seen anyone.
Zack and Ivy : WOW. OKAY.
#carmen sandiego 2019#csweekly#Tigress saw them in Indonesia. Both Le Chevre and El Topo saw them in Ecuador AND in Australia#did they NEVER mention Carmen's crew to the faculty?? they must have mission debriefs right#the faculty's like 'so THAT'S why carmen keeps one-upping us!' well bro i think your general incompetence is a big factor too

Normal activities
We need more stories about Zaimoku trying weird and sketchy beauty protocols, and by that I mean more stories about Totty learning about the latest weird trends (being stung by bees, peelings, ice baths) and wanting to try them so badly but also being so scared and roping Karamatsu into it and also flaking on him half of the time
#rambles#this is from the anthology btw! original poster linked as source#fashion duo#based on a true story where my sister wanted to try getting a facial by snails (very popular in Col + Ecuador like ten years ago)#and i went first and honestly i quite liked.... having snails on my face lol. but she got weirded out and couldn't do it.#and then it happened again with acupuncture. and again with cryotherapy. well you get the idea.#(im stronger)#ososan rambles

it always feels really weird when people talk about huasipungo as "ecuador's grapes of wrath" or make similar remarks.
#personal#yes they both wrote about social issues#but they wrote about very different social issues specific to their home countries#steinbeck wrote a lot about classism/the poor treatment of migrant workers and poor farmers during the dust bowl#icaza wrote about the discrimination against indigenous people in ecuador#that's where the similarities end#there's also something a bit... off to me#about comparing an author from south america to a well-respected western author even as a form of praise#someone else might be able to explain why it rubs me the wrong way better than i can.#disclaimer i'm actually a really big steinbeck fan and he's my favorite author#i just don't really like when people make remarks like this

#that post that said ppl are complaining about br4zilians dancing when celebrating their goals...#i wonder if they're aware that ecuador or colombia also do the same when celebrating#the difference is other teams are not conceited :))#one thing is being confident you can perform well and dancing when celebrating#and something completely different is br4zil and arg3ntina pretending they're untouchable gods who will beat whoever plays against them#like for example arg's keeper mocking mexico saying they're an easy target. hello??#n3ymar with all his bs#nah#rambless

Honestly, the hypocrisy here is that the same amount of ignorance exists in other western countries where the education system is ostensibly much better. As an Asian American living in Europe, I, my friends from Latin America and East Asia (vaguing locations on purpose because they come from multiple countries that sprawl over the map, and we are in different regions of Europe ourselves) would regularly encounter ignorance, such as not understanding where my friends' countries are on the map, relying on stereotypes, conflating all East Asian identities into one and greeting me and my friends with a "konnichi wa" just because we "look the same," explaining Mexican culture to my friend who is a Mexican from Mexico (idk why, this one bothers me the most, just the audacity?????), asking me where I'm "originally" from...all these examples are just the tip of the iceberg. It's really the same chip, different flavor of what I grew up with in the US.
I will fully accept criticism from people of other regions. Just never westerners. When it comes to ignorance and eurocentrism, the US and (in our experience) northern, central, and western Europe are just:
i think that, if youre usamerican and any time someone calls out your lack of knowledge on global geography you start talking about how bad the usa education is and how its actually not your fault that you dont know what continent nigeria is on because you cant look at the google maps bc donald trump will personally shoot you, youre very annoying
#us#europe#don't let people online lie to you#the us learned all this from someone else and it's not from any of the indigenous peoples whose land we're on#tears falling like peridots#just as an aside#i'm well aware eastern europeans and mediterranean countries are on a different boat#personally i make a lot more leeway for them#but i'm still not loving the racism asians get in italy#and across the us different regions of south america and east south and seasia the so called white privilege definitely exists#and it extends to them as well#vaguing the south america part because the people i know there are kind of scattered#italian history in argentina for example is very different than in say ecuador
