being a British SPG fan is so fun because I know Jack shit about American geography, but since SPG mostly tour in America, I’m learning where things are. yesterday I learned San Diego was a city in California and not a state. Today I learned that Detroit is in FUCKING MICHIGAN???? And not like??? New York like I’d been assuming????? what will I learn next!!

Completely random question especially for my fellow American friends: What state do you canonize Arthur from?

I know it's purposely foggy in the game, especially knowing that some real States are canon and others aren't... What we know for sure is that he is from somewhere in the North and that his mother loved a certain type of flower that grew in California and Oregon (considering this dialogue he has about the flower beside his bed with Mary-Beth). Need your experienced opinion on this!!

being italian online can be frustrating because some people from over usa are weirdly obsessed with our country and will bend the basic working of logic to claim they are italian too "italian is an ethnicity you don't have to be italian to be italian" brother are you listening to yourself

Masked trogon for day 15!

[ID: digital illustration of a masked trogon perched on a thick branch, which has moss and lichens on it. The specimen is a male, thus its head, crown and chest is iridescent green, it has a dark mask, a bright yellow beak and a big, orange eye with a big pupil. The belly is bright red and the tips of the tail feathers are white. The background is bright green with a darker green frame. End ID.]

Hispanic Heritage Month + Band of Brothers

For the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 - Oct. 15), I rolled up my sleeves to do some research on Latinos who served in Easy Company.

Here's who I found…

Antonio C. "Tony" Garcia

Here's the bio & gif set I made for him:

Ynez M. "Tito" Mendoza

Ynez was born September 22, 1925 in California. His parents, Jose and Carlota, were both born in Mexico and had immigrated to the U.S.

He enlisted in Los Angeles in January 1944, and joined Easy Company as a replacement. In October 1944, he was wounded in the lower leg by artillery, but returned to the line December 1944.

After the war, he married and had 3 children. He died on June 30, 2011 at the age of 85.

Wiliam S. "Guillermo" Metzler

William was born and raised in Naco, Arizona. His parents, Francisco and Julia, were born in Hermosillo, in the Mexican state of Sonora. They married, and later immigrated with their first two sons to Arizona, where William and his other siblings were later born.

He was living in Los Angeles when he volunteered for the U.S. Army in August 1942. He was one of the original members of Easy Company and trained at Toccoa.

He was killed in action in Normandy on June 24, 1944, at the age of 22.

Sergio G. Moya

Sergio was born on February 24, 1921, in San Francisco, California.

In February 1943, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was one of the original members of Easy Company and trained at Toccoa.

He was on the C-47 plane with Lt. Meehan that was shot down over Normandy by German anti-aircraft fire on June 6th, 1944 (D-Day). He died at the age of 23.

Joseph "Joe" Ramirez

Here's the bio & gif set I made for him:

[lamajaoscura]

Every time a certain breed of leftist talks about how they'd just rather burn the system down than take a minor step to vote for a candidate they're not in love with, I'm reminded that they know almost nothing of what it's like to endure a regime change. They can't imagine how if things changed, they wouldn't be on top. Even the few things my dad would talk about, which are far less than what he likely experienced, and the reasons why my family got out of South America, are traumatic.

And they don't actually like democracy, they just like power and control, and assume they'd be the ones in charge. And that is not the way it'd shake out.

I thought I was fluent in English but then I found out that English is not Aurora's (the author of Herringbone) first language and WHAT HOW

[weedle-testaburger]

i always find it deeply irritating when people are criticising something i agree sucks and raise something i also think sucks as an example of 'how to do it right'. like i think you missed what i hated about it

[circumpolarvampire]

Since when have white Europeans and White Australians started considering themselves part of the global south?

There comes a point when you are doing too much research for fanfic, and that point is probably way before you’re looking up the interactions between the Cocos and Nazcas plates in order to decide where you would put a fictional island if you want it off the coast of Colombia.

NOOOOO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!
