felt like doing a little thing w/ pride flags for my OCs since i did that big ol sketch of spidey characters lol
just simple
it's not EVERY character I have, like, i didn't include foul day (a lesbian) or fishblood (gender something), or the rest of the supporting characters for... any of them really (esp Seth's universe cause that's a whole lot of characters many of whom are queer lol) but i included the basic ones
and like i noted on qela's, technically she doesn't have that kind of thing conceptualized like culturally, but human au qela... she does
also yes that's heteroflexible on theo đ
edit: fixed some minor details that were bugging me
bonus:
obviously this is not a comprehensive list of flags and doesn't include any of the alternate rainbows cause i was just going w/ simplicity for this drawing and only made the ones i needed for a specific set of my own characters, but feel free to use any of these for emojis or whatever else.
#gave tama a different color of braids than usual since i never really draw her without the white braids but like#it's extensions she can do all kinds of colors lol white is just one of her theme colors#nadiart#not fanart#scratchverse#betty solaire#i'm not sure if i even tag her with her name but tumblr wouldn't remember it either way since it's been a million years lol#rpg games#i know she's in THAT tag lol#paranormal meetcute#tama#fran hardison#theo alexander#qela#sulum#aunts from michigan#seth ma#casey williams#les pennant#caspian ward#i could have just copy pasted flags from the internet but frankly the fact that they were all different dimensions annoyed me#so i made them myself instead so they'd all match lol

Jâai fini Betty, le roman fleuve de Tiffany McDaniel Ă©ditĂ© chez Gallmeister, qui a obtenu le Prix Fnac de cette annĂ©e.
Franchement jâai peinĂ©. Le livre est basĂ© sur lâhistoire de sa mĂšre, nĂ©e dans lâOhio dans les annĂ©es 50, dâorigine Cherokee. Je ne sais pas Ă quel point lâhistoire est vraie, quelle est la part de fiction, jâespĂšre que Tiffany McDaniel a forcĂ© le trait car les Ă©vĂ©nements qui Ă©maillent lâenfance de Betty sont tout bonnement atroces. Racisme, inceste, maltraitance psychologique, meurtres... je lisais et je mâenfonçais dans une spirale infernale, jâĂ©tais Ă©cĆurĂ©e, choquĂ©e, triste, dĂ©boussolĂ©e par tant de violences. Faites aux femmes principalement.
Heureusement, il y a le personnage solaire du pĂšre, qui fait ce quâil peut pour adoucir le rĂ©el et lâenchanter. Et Betty, qui, grĂące Ă une force de caractĂšre assez incroyable, rĂ©ussit Ă traverser son enfance minĂ©e en refusant le silence qui semble ĂȘtre la seule solution. Elle se sauve ainsi, en Ă©crivant, dĂšs son plus jeune Ăąge, toutes les choses qui la rĂ©voltent et en enterrant ses mots ; en sâĂ©vadant par lâimaginaire, en inventant. Elle veut dire le monde, son monde, fracassĂ©, ne pas dĂ©tourner le regard. Du coup, la poĂ©sie de son regard mi-acĂ©rĂ© mi-enfantin, pĂ©tri de lĂ©gendes, crĂ©e des Ă©chappĂ©es dâair, des respirations dans lâatmosphĂšre suffocante du roman. La poĂ©sie pousse, avec vitalitĂ© et puissance, comme des herbes folles entre les dalles, entre les tombes qui sâaccumulent. Le contraste est puissant et bouleversant.
MalgrĂ© tout, mĂȘme si je mâincline devant la beautĂ© indĂ©niable du roman, je sens que je ne pourrai pas lâoffrir, ce que jâaime faire pourtant avec les livres qui mâont touchĂ©e, car il est trop dur. Câest trop noir. Je nâai pas la force de Betty, ni sa capacitĂ© de rĂ©silience.

Semaine 6 : Un androĂŻde dans la famille.
La semaine derniĂšre, le couple a enchainĂ© les promotions et sâest retrouvĂ© avec 17000$ Ă dĂ©penser. Cette semaine a donc dĂ©butĂ© avec lâagrandissement de la maison. Charlotte est de nouveau tombĂ©e enceinte et le couple attend la venue du nouveau bĂ©bĂ©, en espĂ©rant quâelle sera moins terrible que la premiĂšre qui sâest avĂ©rĂ©e ĂȘtre du genre mauvaise. Bucky, lui, travaillait sa robotique dans le but de fabriquer un nouveau membre de la famille, afin quâil se charge des tĂąches ingrates, et peut-ĂȘtre pouvoir revenir sur son exigence premiĂšre concernant la vie professionnelle de son Ă©pouse.
Et suite aux travaux dâagrandissement de la maison...
On a enfin pu ajouter plein de fenĂȘtres pour que lâintĂ©rieur soit lumineux.
La maison dispose dĂ©sormais dâun sous-sol. On nây accĂšde que par lâextĂ©rieur pour lâinstant, parce-que le budget nâa pas permis lâajout dâun escalier. Mais ça viendra.
Le rez-de-chaussée et sa salle de bain ont été considérablement étendus...
Tout comme lâĂ©tage qui accueille une seconde salle de bain et une chambre supplĂ©mentaire !
"Je ne vois plus mes pieds alors je vais marcher au hasard...â
Mhhh... Bucky avait envisagĂ© lui-mĂȘme de se faire enlever par les extraterrestres. Faisons donc ça !
WOOOOOUHOUUUUUUUU ! SOIXANTE-CINQ MILLE SIMFLOUZ ! On va faire de cette maison une villa mon pâtit pĂšre !
On a posĂ© du parquet sur les terrasses, rajoutĂ© encore moult fenĂȘtres...
... aménagé une immense cuisine...
... ajouté un escalier pour accéder au sous-sol...
... et surtout, retapĂ© tout lâextĂ©rieur.
La maison possĂšde dĂ©sormais un accĂšs direct Ă la plage depuis le sous-sol ! Et si on se demande oĂč ont bien pu passer les autres simflouz gagnĂ©s... je vous laisse regarder sur le toit. On aura bien le temps de meubler et dĂ©corer lâintĂ©rieur plus tard. Investir dans les panneaux solaires, câest investir pour un futur plus facile ! Cette famille sera rentiĂšre, et mĂȘme en cas de difficultĂ©s professionnelles elle devrait dĂ©sormais toujours pouvoir subvenir Ă ses besoins !
Bon, par contre du coup on a eu les moyens que pour deux chaises. Mais câest temporaire, hein.
Alors petit monstre, sais-tu que tu auras bientĂŽt un petit frĂšre ou une petite sĆur ?
âJe pense dĂ©jĂ au goĂ»t quâil aura quand je le mangerai lui aussi.â
*danse de la victoire*
Bravo Bucky ! Maintenant que tu sais faire ça, tu peux démarrer sa fabrication illico !
La grossesse arrive enfin Ă son terme...
âOh ! Mais que se passe t-il ?â
âMon plumbob sâest rĂ©pliquĂ© ?â
âOh ! Quelle surprise ! Un bĂ©bĂ© ! Je ne mây attendais tellement pas !â
Bucky, toujours Bucky. Il a un Servo Ă fabriquer et Charlotte a toujours ses preuves Ă faire au travail.
Et le nouveau bébé est une autre petite fille, nommée Betty !
âOh ! Encore une fille !â
âEt encore une brune !â
âSi je tape avec le manche de mon tournevis sur ce cube de mĂ©tal quelconque, cela devrait crĂ©er une intelligence artificielle aussi Ă©voluĂ©e quâun vrai Sim.â
Pour ĂȘtre honnĂȘte, une grande partie du quotidien du couple ressemble à ça.
Tadaaam !
Bucky se dĂ©cide Ă lâactiver et lui donne... son propre nom.
âQui suis-je ? Que fais-je ? OĂč vais-je ? Qui est cet ĂȘtre Ă©trange en chemise orange ?â
On dirait que le jeu galĂšre Ă gĂ©rer la lumiĂšre sur le plafond de cette piĂšce. Jâai pas encore trouvĂ© pourquoi mais je vais chercher.
En attendant, on dĂ©couvre que Junior a le mĂȘme rĂȘve que son crĂ©ateur.
Et que grĂące Ă (ou plutĂŽt, Ă cause dâun) 4 au D6, ce pauvre robot incapable de manger sera frustrĂ© toute son immortelle de vie de ne pas goĂ»ter au fromage fondu, sa plus grande passion. Probablement une blague de Bucky.
âTenez, CrĂ©ateur. Votre bĂ©bĂ©.â
âWoohoo. Jâai refilĂ© la patate chaude avec succĂšs.â
Junior apprend la compĂ©tence âĂgoĂŻsmeâ. Probablement une programmation de son crĂ©ateur pour le faire Ă son image.
âDonner le biberon au bambin. TĂąche effectuĂ©e.â
âCet ĂȘtre Ă©trange qui me ressemble me plaĂźt beaucoup.â
Pendant que tout le monde dort, Junior passe sa premiÚre nuit à fouiller le sable à la recherche de trésors.
En vain.
âQuâest-ce que vous faites chez moi ?â
Dâaccord. Cette famille est invitĂ©e partout. De vrais VIP.
âAhhh, il faut donc mettre du beurre dans un sandwich jambon-beurre !â
DĂšs le premier matin, Junior trouve un emploi dans sa carriĂšre de rĂȘve. Cette famille a une chance incroyable.
Et lâinvestissement en panneaux solaire paye enfin !
âTrouver lâorifice adĂ©quat pour nourrir le bĂ©bĂ© : tĂąche en cours.â
Pour quâun Servo effectue ses tĂąches mĂ©nagĂšres avec succĂšs, il faut quâil garde le moral. Alors Ă©videmment, en attendant quâil obtienne une aspiration platine Ă tout jamais, on le laisse travailler les compĂ©tences requises pour atteindre le sommet de sa carriĂšre. Et en arriĂšre plan, on constate que Bucky travaille sur un projet sur son ordinateur...
CâĂ©tait donc ça !
Ahahaha... âDĂ©passĂ© et complaisantâ... Tout Ă fait lui !
Ou alors tu peux prendre un air pensif devant les vagues pour te donner lâair dâun artiste.
Double anniversaire en vue ! Double anniversaire en vue !
On dirait quâil y en a une qui approuve le coloris de la cuisine. Et je persiste Ă penser quâils auraient pu former un joli couple.
âApprendre Ă faire souffler les bougies au bambin : tĂąche en cours.â
Suspense...
Une copie conforme de sa sĆur !
âLe contact glacial de ce robot me met en joie... Oh, du feu.â
Et finalement... Becky nâest pas si vilaine en grandissant ! En fait, elle me fait mĂȘme Ă©trangement penser Ă lâune de mes cousines... qui me ressemble... Hum...
Câest le moment que choisit Charlotte pour rentrer du travail avec une bonne nouvelle !
âUn jour, je me ferai insĂ©miner par des extraterrestres...â
Tu chamboules ta mĂšre, Becky...
Et un double anniversaire plutÎt réussi. Hourra !
Les efforts de Junior ont payé !
Ăa fera une petite dĂ©co sympa dans la cuisine.
Bucky tente dâapprendre les rudiments de lâhygiĂšne Ă Betty...
... puis Charlotte lâexerce Ă la marche.
âAllez mon amour, viens dans les bras de maman !â
âJe refuse de coopĂ©rer.â
ââBecky perturbe la classe et montre un comportement mesquinâ ?â
âMais comment je pouvais savoir quâen tirant sur ses cheveux, jâallais me retrouver avec une perruque dans la main ? Câest quand mĂȘme pas de ma faute si elle est chauve !â
TrĂšs bien, Becky. Câest une bonne chose, ça.
Ah oui, juste pour info : la mĂ©chancetĂ© des deux petites ne vient pas seulement de mon interprĂ©tation de leur air dĂ©primĂ© naturel... Elles ont toutes les deux lâexacte mĂȘme personnalitĂ© avec seulement un point de sympathie. Histoire quâon soit clairs.
âMmmh... maintenant quâon est copines je vais pouvoir te manipuler facilement...â
Becky se dĂ©couvre une passion pour le sport. EspĂ©rons quâen se dĂ©pensant elle ait moins dâĂ©nergie pour planifier la destruction du monde.
Va falloir mâexpliquer le projet, Bucky...
Allez, debout, et va faire quelque chose de constructif, plutĂŽt.
Voilà . Comme refaire une garde-robe à tes filles. Bonne idée.
Et pendant ce temps, mĂȘme Junior se fait inviter dans un club secret.
âChanger la couche du bambin : tĂąche en cours.â
âAnalyser les effluves qui proviennent de son arriĂšre train : tĂąche effectuĂ©e. RĂ©sultat de lâanalyse : gros caca.â
On y presque, Charlotte ! Plus quâun seul Ă©chelon !
NĂ©anmoins, tu as quatre jours de congĂ© devant toi avant dâavoir de nouveau la possibilitĂ© de prouver tes compĂ©tences au travail. Il va bien falloir tâoccuper en attendant.
Afin de parfaire leur sourire hypocrite, mĂȘme les pires crapules se brossent les dents rĂ©guliĂšrement. Becky est fiĂšre de profiter de cet instant pour aussi vous prĂ©senter le nouveau look quâelle sâest choisi avec son papa !
âJe suis la classe incarnĂ©e. DĂ©sormais, seule ma classe Ă©gale ma classe.â
âJâai appris Ă faire sur le pot...â
â... mais je dĂ©teste toujours autant la vie.â
Charlotte attend un nouveau bĂ©bĂ© ! Ce nâĂ©tait pas vraiment prĂ©vu... mais avec deux premiers bĂ©bĂ©s qui se ressemblent comme des clones, on ne va pas se plaindre.
Je profite donc de cette nouvelle pour relancer lâalĂ©atoire du jeu. Ou je ne sais pas trop comment traduire ce truc en français. Bref, la fonction de la BatBox qui force un reset afin de contourner le bug du premier nĂ©. Et je trouve que la famille a lâair harmonieuse, mĂȘme si ce pauvre Servo semble en retrait.
âJe me fais chier dans cette maison pourrie ! Donnez-moi de quoi mâamuser !â
Dâaccord, dâaccord, Becky. Je comprends. ArrĂȘte de piquer ta crise, je te meuble un home-cinĂ©ma. Tes parents ont tout juste le budget, mais autant voir grand dĂšs le dĂ©part. Jusque là ça vous rĂ©ussi plutĂŽt bien.
Il semblerait que Becky soit satisfaite.
Pendant ce temps... Betty gagne trois points dâaspiration bonus...
... et Charlotte continue de sécuriser sa carriÚre.
Probablement lâun des premiers sourires de cette enfant qui ne paraisse pas complĂštement surfait.
âAttention, robot glacial, jâarriiiiive !â
âTu ferais quoi, toi, si tu trouvais une lampe magique ?â
âParce-que moi jâai rĂ©flĂ©chi, et je demanderai au gĂ©nie de ressusciter quelquâun pour quâil devienne UN ZOMBIE ! Ahahaha !â
âEuh, alors, euh... Junior mâa dit que tu parlais de transformer les morts en zombies, euh... bon, ça serait bien si tu essayais dâĂȘtre un peu plus, euh, comment dire, gentille ? La paix, lâamour, tout ça...â
Charlotte a le sentiment dâavoir accompli son rĂŽle de mĂšre. Grand bien tâen fasse, Cha.
Mais le soir-mĂȘme...
âLa prochaine fois, est-ce que je pourrais tuer la dinde moi-mĂȘme et lui arracher les entrailles par la gorge de mes mains nues ?â
âNotre propre fille nous fait peur.â
âBonjour, CrĂ©ateur. Je poursuis la mĂȘme carriĂšre que vous.â
âExcellent ! Tu es bien la CrĂ©ation de ton CrĂ©ateur !â
âGuilli guilli !â
âHihihihihâ
âAh, ah. Il a cru que je mâamusais vraiment.â
*Bitch, please*
âDâaprĂšs ServopĂ©dia, ceci sâappelle une galaxie.â
Et BoiiIinNNg ! La nouvelle grossesse de Charlotte est enfin visible !
Je commence Ă sĂ©rieusement mâinquiĂ©ter pour toutes les dindes du monde. Mais dâaccord.
VoilĂ . Ăa te tiendra occupĂ©e un moment.
Pendant ce temps, Junior gravit un premier Ă©chelon !
âEt si on inscrivait les filles dans une Ă©cole privĂ©e ?â
âTu rĂ©alises quâaucune Ă©cole privĂ©e ne voudra jamais de Becky ?â
âAh bon ? Pourquoi ?â
âAvec le charisme lĂ©gendaire des Bucket, aucune raison !â
Soit. On verra ça la semaine prochaine.
Pour le moment, câest lâanniversaire de Betty !
On peut voir que Junior apprend trĂšs vite les conventions sociales.
âOhhh, des flammes... le feu est mon ami...â
âAllez ! â âHourra !â âGrandis bien, Betty !â âJoyeux anniversaire !â âHip hip hip !â
âJe ne comprends pas lâintĂ©rĂȘt quâils me portent tous en cet instant.â
Tadaaaa ! Betty a immĂ©diatement volĂ© le maquillage de sa sĆur et sâest aussi coiffĂ© la tĂȘte dâun petit ruban !
âMAINTENANT JE VAIS DĂTRUIRE LE MONDE CAR MA COLĂRE EST IMMENSE.â
Mh, dâaccord.
Euh, pardon ?
Et câest probablement ce qui a gĂąchĂ© la fĂȘte. Ou peut-ĂȘtre pas. Je nâai pas fait attention. Quelques minutes avant on Ă©tait sur un score âSympaâ, et bim, dĂ©gringolade. Je nâai mĂȘme pas envie de chercher... Faisons comme si de rien nâĂ©tait.
Pour terminer cette semaine, Junior travaille sa créativité pour suivre les traces de son créateur.
Ce qui de loin, ressemble à ça.
Maintenant... Les filles entreront-elles en Ă©cole privĂ©e ? Junior gravira t-il aussi bien les Ă©chelons que son crĂ©ateur ? Charlotte supportera t-elle une troisiĂšme grossesse avec la carriĂšre acharnĂ©e quâelle mĂšne ? Le troisiĂšme bĂ©bĂ© sera t-il lui aussi un DĂMON dĂ©guisĂ© en enfant ? Mmmh. Autant de questions auxquelles jâai hĂąte de pouvoir rĂ©pondre !

Barbara Chase-Riboud
Barbara Chase-Riboud (born June 26, 1939) is an American visual artist, bestselling novelist and award-winning poet.
Established as a sculptor, Chase-Riboud attained international recognition with the publication of her first novel, Sally Hemings (1979). The novel has been described as the "first full blown imagining" of Hemings and her life as a slave, including her rumored relationship with President Thomas Jefferson. In addition to stimulating considerable controversy, as mainline historians then continued to deny this relationship, the book earned Chase-Riboud the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize for the best novel written by an American woman. It sold more than one million copies in hardcover and it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. It was reissued in 1994, and in paperback in 2009, together with her novel, President's Daughter (1994), about Harriet Hemings.
Chase-Riboud has received numerous honors for her literary work, including the Carl Sandburg Prize for poetry and the Women's Caucus for Art's lifetime achievement award. In 1965, she became the first American woman to visit the People's Republic of China after the revolution. In 1996, she was knighted by the French Government and received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
From September 2013 to January 2014, the Philadelphia Museum of Art presented Barbara Chase-Riboud: The Malcolm X Steles, a survey of work created between 1969 and 2008. This traveled to the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in February 12 - April 28, 2014. Her anthology of poetry from 1974 to 2008 is under press, as are her collected letters.
Early life and education
Barbara Chase was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the only child of Vivian May Chase, a histology technician, and Charles Edward Chase, a contractor. She was suspended from her middle school being accused, falsely, of plagiarism her poem "Autumn Leaves". Chase displayed an early talent for the arts and began attending the Fleisher Art Memorial School at the age of eight.
She attended Philadelphia High School for Girls from 1948 to 1952, graduating summa cum laude. During graduation, her text "Of Understanding" is read.
She continued her training at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art. Chase went on to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Tyler School at Temple University in 1957.
In that same year, Chase won a John Hay Whitney fellowship to study at the American Academy in Rome for 12 months. There, she created her first bronze sculptures and exhibited her work. During this time, she traveled to Egypt, where she discovered non-European art. In 1960, Chase completed a master's degree from Yale University School of Design and Architecture. After completing her studies, Chase left the United States for London, then Paris.
Marriage and family
In Paris, Chase met Marc Riboud, a photographer who was part of the Magnum group. They married in 1961 on Christmas Day inside a church. The couple had two sons together, David Charles (b. 1964) and Alexis Karol (b. 1967). They traveled extensively in Russia, India, Greece and North Africa.
Years later they divorced. In 1981, Chase-Riboud married her second husband, Sergio Tosi, an art publisher and expert.
Visual arts career
At Temple University's Tyler School of Art, Chase studied with Boris Blai and "is instructed in sculpture, painting, graphic design, printmaking, color theory, and restoration." She also studied anatomical drawing at Temple University School of Medicine
In 1955, her woodcut Reba was displayed in the Carnegie Hall Gallery as a part of the exhibit It's All Yours (sponsored by Seventeen magazine). This woodcut was subsequently purchased by the Museum of Modern Art.
The Temple University yearbook Templar published fourteen of her woodcuts in 1956, and in 1958 Chase begins to experiment with bronze sculptures. She uses Lost-wax casting techniques.
Her first solo exhibition was at the Galleria L'Obelisco at the Spoleto Festival of Two Worlds in Italy in 1957. Her first museum exhibition in Europe was held at MOMA Paris in 1961. Her first solo exhibition in Paris was at the Galerie Cadran Solaire in 1966.
Her first public commission was completed in 1960 for the Wheaton Plaza in Wheaton, Maryland. This fountain was formed from pressed aluminum and incorporated abstract shapes, sound and light effects to add to the visual impact of the falling water.
In the late 1960s, Chase-Riboud began to garner broad attention for her sculpture. Nancy Heller describes her work as "startling, ten-foot-tall sculptures that combine powerful cast-bronze abstract shapes with veils of fiber ropes made from silk and wool".
Chase-Ribound and Betye Saar were the first African-American women to exhibit in Whitney Museum of American Art as a result of protests organized by Faith Ringgold. Her piece The Ultimate Ground was displayed in the exhibition Contemporary American Sculpture.
In 1971, Chase-Riboud was featured along with four other contemporaries in a documentary about African-American artists entitled "Five." The segment on Chase-Riboud showed her installation in 1970 at the Betty Parsons Gallery, as well as the artist working in her studio.
In 1996 Chase-Riboud was among artists commissioned for artwork at the preserved African Burial Ground National Monument in Lower Manhattan. Her eighteen-foot bronze memorial, Africa Rising, was installed in the Ted Weiss Federal Building 1998. Chase-Riboud also wrote a poem with the same name as the sculpture.
Her work is in major corporate collections and museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Geigy Foundation, New York; and Lannann Foundation, Los Angeles.
Literary career
Sally Hemings: A Novel
Chase-Riboud first established her reputation as a sculptor and poet. In 1979 she gained widespread attention and critical acclaim for her writing with her first novel Sally Hemings. It was based on the life of Thomas Jefferson's quadroon slave of that name; she was a much-younger half-sister to his late wife and was rumored to have been his concubine for years. In the Summer of 1974 Chase-Riboud had met with editor Jacqueline Onassis to discuss her plans for the work, and Onassis persuaded her to write it. Based on Jefferson's biography by Fawn M. Brodie, Chase-Riboud was among those who believed that Thomas Jefferson fathered six children with Hemings. The young slave was nearly 30 years younger than the president and little had been documented about her life.
Chase-Riboud was the first writer to present a fully realized, fictional character of Sally Hemings, with a rich interior life. Finally Sally Hemings had a voice. The public accepted her portrayal of Hemings and could believe such a woman had a relationship with Jefferson. Sally Hemings was vivid as an American historical figure. Chase-Riboud's book became an international bestseller and won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize in fiction by an American woman.
It was so popular that CBS planned to adapt it as a TV mini-series. But mainline historians who were still "guarding" Jefferson as an icon of integrity put pressure on president William Paley to end the effort. No adaptation was made at the time.
But, more than 20 years later, CBS produced Sally Hemings: An American Scandal (2000), a made-for-TV mini-series that portrayed Hemings' and Jefferson's relationship. This has been widely accepted since a 1998 DNA study showed a match between a Hemings descendant and the Jefferson male line. Although some reviewers argued about the characterization of Sally Hemings, "no major historian challenged the series' premise that Hemings and Jefferson had a 38-year relationship that produced children." The series featured a beautiful actress as Sally Hemings, as historic accounts of her agreed on her beauty. It also presented African Americans of a range of skin tones, representing the many Hemings mixed-race descendants.
A rearguard of Jefferson historians has continued to deny the possibility of a relationship, but in 2000 and 2001 the Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello, and the National Genealogical Society independently announced their conclusions that Jefferson had likely fathered all of Hemings' children, based on both the DNA and other historical evidence. This historic consensus has been reflected in academic writing about Jefferson and his times. The Smithsonian Museum and Monticello collaborated on a groundbreaking exhibition in 2012 in Washington, DC:Â Slavery at Jefferson's Monticello, which explored Jefferson as a slaveholder and six of the major slave families. It said that Jefferson was likely the father of all Sally Hemings' children. The exhibit was seen by more than one million people.
Chase-Riboud explored the interweaving relationships between the Hemings' and Jefferson families; as Sally Hemings was a much younger half-sister of Jefferson's late wife, she was an aunt to his two daughters.
"In place of civic myths that deny America's mixed-race beginnings, Chase-Riboud turns to the Hemings family to unveil the historical presence of antebellum interracial relationships and the possibilities of a post-civil rights multiracial community."
Artists, poets, and writers have been thoroughly exploring the Jefferson-Hemings relationship since then.
In 1991, Chase-Riboud won an important copyright decision, Granville Burgess vs. Chase-Riboud. She had filed suit against the playwright of Dusky Sally in 1987, shortly before a production was to open at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. She said his work infringed on her copyright for her novel Sally Hemings because it borrowed her fictional ideas. Judge Robert F. Kelly concluded that while
"laws were not enacted to inhibit creativity ... it is one thing to inhibit creativity and another to use the idea-versus-expression distinction as something akin to an absolute defense -- to maintain that the protection of copyright law is negated by any small amount of tinkering with another writer's idea that results in a different expression."
He also said,
"the similarity between the two works is so obvious and so unapologetic that an ordinary observer can only conclude that Burgess felt he was justified in copying 'Sally Hemings,' or at least that there was no legal impediment to doing so, assuming a few modifications were made." The resulting decision constituted a significant victory for artists and writers, reinforcing protection for creative ideas even when expressed in a slightly different form."

Chase-Riboud continued her literary exploration into slavery and exploitation of African people with her subsequent novels. Valide: A Novel of the Harem (1986) examined slavery in the Ottoman empire. Her Echo of Lions (1989) was one of the first serious novels about the historic Amistad slave-ship revolt of 1839.
In 1994, Chase-Riboud published The President's Daughter, a work that continued the Sally Hemings story, by imagining the life of her and Jefferson's mixed-race daughter Harriet Hemings. At the age of 21, Harriet left Monticello, given traveling money by Jefferson via his overseer, and went North. She settled in Washington, DC where her brother Beverley had already settled. Like him, she passed into white society. She married a white man, according to her letters to her brother Madison Hemings. He was the only one of the four surviving Hemings children who lived the remainder of his life identifying as African-American.
Chase-Riboud's most recent novel, Hottentot Venus: A Novel (2003), humanizes Sarah Baartman, a Khoikhoi woman who was exhibited naked in freak shows in 19th-century Europe.
Lawsuit:Â Chase-Riboud v. Dreamworks
In 1997, Chase-Riboud settled a suit against DreamWorks for $10 million on charges of copyright infringement of her novel. The author claimed that the screenplay for Steven Spielberg's film Amistad (1997) plagiarized her novel on the topic. It was finally established that David Franzoni, the sole credited screenwriter on Amistad, had spent 3 years, beginning in 1993, writing a script based on Chase-Riboud's book, Echo of Lions. This was under an option held by Dustin Hoffman's Punch production. Chase-Riboud's book which she had sold to Dustin Hoffman's production company which Fransconi claimed he had never read. Burt Fields DreamWorks main lawyer was at the same time unknown to Chase-Ribouds attorneys a stockholder, lawyer and board member of Punch productions who did not rescue himself from the suit, on the contrary he managed to have Punch Productions dropped from the original complaint and Fransconi was never obliged to testify under oath." He may have carried over some of his thinking to his screenplay for Amistad. When Chase-Riboud filed a second suit against DreamWorks in France, the dispute was quickly settled out of court for an undisclosed amount days before the 1998 Oscar nominations were announced.
Poetry
Chase-Riboud's first work of poetry, From Memphis & Peking (1974), was edited by Toni Morrison and published to critical acclaim. Her poetry volume, Portrait of a Nude Woman as Cleopatra, (1987), won the Carl Sandburg Award in 1988. In 1994, Chase-Riboud published Roman Egyptien, poetry written in French. In 2014, Barbara Chase-Riboud published "Everytime a Knot is Undone, a God is Released".

Betty
Ce trĂšs grand roman des Ă©ditions Gallmeister nous emmĂšne dans lâOhio, dans le milieu du XxĂšme siĂšcle, au sein dâune famille mĂ©tisse. Un pĂšre descendant des cherokees, une mĂšre « blanche », trois ainĂ©s, un garçon et deux filles, deux cadets. Tel est le dĂ©cors dans lequel grandit Betty.
Son enfance, marquée par le racisme et la pauvreté de sa famille, est pourtant enchantée par un pÚre poÚte, jardinier, en harmonie avec la nature, plein de fantaisie, dont la connivence profonde avec chacun de ses enfants et avec sa femme constitue le ciment familial.
Son terrain dâentente avec Betty est le jardin, il y cultive les plantes qui lui permet de soigner les habitants de la ville voisine, savoir quâil enseigne Ă sa fille.
Alors que le destin de chaque membre de la famille est marquĂ© par la violence, Betty parvient Ă se construire grĂące aux histoires quâelle Ă©crit, transcrivant les Ă©vĂ©nements auxquels elle assiste impuissante, pour les confier Ă la terre, Ă lâabri de son jardin justementâŠ
Ce roman InspirĂ© de lâhistoire de la mĂšre de lâauteure est saisissant, son hĂ©roĂŻne, personnage solaire, est inoubliable, on tremble pour elle, pour ses proches, on est rĂ©voltĂ© et Ă©merveillĂ© tour Ă tour, plein dâespoir et de tristesse au fil et Ă mesure dâune lecture que lâon quitte avec regret.

Betty
Betty, une jeune Cherokee, raconte lâhistoire de sa famille dans la petite ville de Breathed, dans les Appalaches au tournant des annĂ©es 1960. Elle raconte la rencontre entre son pĂšre Landon Carpenter et sa mĂšre Alka, ses multiples frĂšres et sĆurs, Leland, Fraya, Flossie, Lint, Trustin, leur personnalitĂ©, leur jeux communs, les bonheurs et les drames qui les unissent. Landon est la figure du pĂšre aimant, amoureux de la nature et soucieux de transmettre son savoir et la spiritualitĂ© cherokee. Alka, abusĂ©e par son pĂšre quand elle Ă©tait petite et qui a perdu plusieurs enfants est une mĂšre silencieuse ou trop bavarde. Betty est une petite fille brune qui se heurte au racisme de lâĂ©poque, les adultes transmettant leurs prĂ©jugĂ©s Ă leurs enfants, mais la figure solaire du pĂšre lâaide Ă traverser les brimades et lâadversitĂ©. Car la famille Carpenter nâest pas Ă©pargnĂ©e par les Ă©preuves : inceste, mort accidentelle, suicide... Mais loin dâĂȘtre un roman sinistre, Betty est un formidable hymne Ă la vie, une ode Ă la nature et une formidable et prĂ©cise reprĂ©sentation de la complexitĂ© des rapports humains. Avec ses personnages inoubliables, le pĂšre Carpenter en tĂȘte, Tiffany McDaniel nous embarque dans un roman fleuve impossible Ă lĂącher. Incontournable !
8,5/10

sometimes youâre bored and go into the xcom2 propaganda center demo and shove all your ttrpg characters into a photo together...
preliminary pic on the left shows the colors on their clothes.... sepia on the right is the final version
left to right: betty solaire (apocalypse world), sister medea (dogs in the vineyard), tama (the sprawl), foul day (follow) and zella (pathfinder)
#nadia plays stuff#of all these characters betty is the only one i've played more than once#well no that's a lie i've played in a couple sessions with tama but the game ended up getting cancelled#foul and medea were both for one-off sessions tho#and zella i just never ended up playing more#technically i have one more ttrpg char but they are a large insectoid humanoid lightning wizard
