#ethnic mums and their sons

[sacha1slytherin]

Wtf is it with (ethnic) mums and their precious boys, like what the actual fudge.

[hiskillingjar]

What headcanons do you have about the young Strade?

i think i've thought more about strade's background than gato has so woe. massive lore/headcanon dump be upon ye

born june 26th 1980 and raised in germany

youngest of two brothers

jewish! mother married a non-jew and tried to continue practising, but due to (obvious) stressors, stopped when the boys were still young

doesn’t practice but picked up on yiddish and has a few ethnic features (darker skin tone/hair, dark body hair, etc) that give him away to those in the know

lived in a small town in east germany and his childhood home was rural as fuck (like had to walk two miles just to go to school, rural). 

didn’t see a city until he was in his late teens. would retain a preference for smaller cities and towns into adulthood (likes the privacy it gives him)

small family, not in contact with any extended relatives (due to mum immigrating to germany in the 70s).

parents divorced when he was about six or seven, and he lived rurally with his dad while his mum travelled back to the city to get away from east german politics and find new connections (got remarried while she was at it)

his older brother died when he was four (brother was eight) and strade watched him die by falling out of a tree and a branch puncturing his throat 

even though it was an accident (and it was, strade had no desire to kill anyone at that age), he definitely wasn’t that sad about it

the death of his brother woke up something. weird in him and he poked and prodded the dead body (who didn't immediately die) for hours until his parents found him in the forest

remarkably well-adjusted other than that.

good upbringing, good relationship with his dad. they weren’t particularly close by any means but because he was the masculine standard that young boys were in the 80s and 90s, so his dad was like “ah. good. no worries here” (not knowing his son was a massive fag lmao)

did okay at school but left it without further study (no university or college) to work as a physical labourer + carpenter with his dad

father passed away when he was twenty-one (lung cancer), leaving him the house, the land where they worked and a chunk of change to fuck around with

he sold the house (now regrets it) and the land and moved to the city to try and build up a relationship with his mum (didn't work out, hence the lack of contact in his older years)

MORE HEADCANONS HERE about strade being a berlin party gay and how he got introduced to his line of work :)

------Backstory: TW: Death, Chronic Disorders------

Born in Madurai, India as Jia Saanvi Sutar, Jia was the technical second child to her parents. However, her older sister had passed away suddenly as a baby and it was hardly ever talked about in her household. She was quickly flagged and tested positive for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and began using a cane as a child. Other than that though, early childhood for Jia was largely uneventful.

When she was around seven, she started playing piano and it became very obvious she was a prodigy. She was sent to a private music school so she could hone her skills. The next year was a mixed bag however as she lost her mother and her baby brother was born. Jahnu, her brother, quickly turned into one of the two center points for Jia's world, music being the other, essentially become coping mechanisms when her mother passed away due to complications with his birth.

But again, her life settled into a pretty mundane but steady rhythm for four years, only focusing on her studies and her family. When a job came up for her dad in London, she encouraged him to accept it, leading to the family moving. They all did well with the move and there were little problems on their end of things, the children even planning to get dual-citizenship when they got older.

Jia seemed to thrive in her new school and started playing gigs not long after the move. She was offered scholarships while still in school and it was pretty obvious that she had a good career ahead of her in the music industry. On the side, Jia became vocal in lots of local movements for equality and justice, even leading them at times. Her family were extremely proud of this and even helped her prepare for them, her brother making signs, and her dad packing food to hand out. Within two years, things were definitely looking up.

However, Jahnu also tested positive for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy soon after, with his progressing scarily faster than his sister. he had to be hospitalized at eight, Jia and her dad moving across town so they could stay near his bedside. And while that was a harsh adjustment period, life continued as usual for the trio for a few years. It was during this chaos that Jia and her family also were finally given dual-citizenship, a small up not to their year.

Jahnu passed away after four years, spending his final moments with his sister and father. Jia was heartbroken, having lost her remaining sibling and the boy she had raised at the same time. Her father Aarav seemed to feel the same, as not long after, he passed away too, seemingly of a broken heart. This left Jia, by that time a music major in university, without any family or support system. This caused her to spiral a bit and throw herself into her work as a coping mechanism, though her mental health took a huge toll.

Somehow, she managed to scrape by for a year and a half on her own before running into a boy two years her senior at a protest she was organizing. After punching his older brother in the face for being an absolute arse to her, the boy apologized for the whole scenario for several hours, even helping her with the event as a way to make it up to her. By the end of the day, she agreed to meet him again the next day in the same spot, and eventually started dating the man, who's name was Marcus.

Jia and Marcus got on like wildfire, and spent nearly all their free time together, both glad they finally had someone that they could rely on to be there for them. She encouraged him to pursue his passion of being a mechanic and he encouraged her to write her own songs for her own album. They spent a lot of time together going to protests and fundraiser events, as well as work and school, with most of their dates just being them doing their daily routines together. Marcus moved in with her around a year into the relationship as well, though that was largely due to his disownment.

Jia graduated a year later with a master's degree in music and quickly began working as a music teacher for young kids and a piano tutor on the side. Money was tight for the couple, even after Marcus found a job as a mechanic. But surprisingly, not counting the usual couple spats, the two barely fought, and ended up getting married after a few years at Jia's temple. And the couple only seemed to keep doing well from there, with both of them very happy about life and looking forward to the future.

Jia ended up having her only child when she was 28 years old, a son she named Johnathan Demarcus Taylor, with nods to her siblings and parents being prevalent in both his English and Hindi names. The one original part of his Hindi name (aka the only bit not after a family member) was Jiyaan, meaning near heart, which was Jia's way of telling her son she would always be with him, despite her condition worsening.

Jia continued her life as usual after her son was born, still a leading figure in a lot of social movements as well as a music teacher. Her LGMD had progressed to the point where she was wheelchair bound but she claimed to her husband that it did not bother her much, and in fact, made bringing Johnny out a bit easier. However, neither of them actually believed it much. She started dealing with a lot more chronic pain than she had before and began working furiously again, feeling like she had to take advantage of every moment she could.

Jia was 33 was when her health really started deteriorating rapidly however. She collapsed at work, leading to her being rushed to the hospital. She was kept there for several days, before being told that with her current progression, she likely wouldn't live much longer. Jia insisted on returning home, saying that if she was going to die, she wouldn't spend her final months just sitting around waiting for it. The doctors were not fans of this but allowed it and released her into family care.

Jia waited a month and a half before taking medical leave for work, and dedicating her time to taking care of Johnny even more, teaching him as much as she could about their shared interest, music, hoping that that piece of her would be able to bring him comfort when she passed. When he was in school, Jia spent all of her time writing music and letters for her family to open in the future when she wouldn't be there, so at least a part of her would be.

Marcus also started taking more and more time off to spend with them. He had learned most of Jia's favourite recipes by heart years ago when cooking began to get hard for her and now the three spent time together teaching them to Johnny as well. Her son was too young to really understand what was going on and serval times tried to make his mum better with bandaids and kisses, something that Jia always played along with, even though it broke her heart to do so.

In September of that year, when Jia was just 34 years old, she collapsed again when Marcus was out of the apartment for only a second, leading 6 year old Johnny to make a desperate phone call to emergency services when she wouldn't wake up. Marcus returned right after and did CPR until the paramedics arrived and took over, taking Jia back to the hospital.

She remained there this time, too weak to move much on her own. Marcus brought Johnny to see her every single day, right after school and Jia made sure to at least pretend that everything was ok when he was there, singing and humming with him like usual, though at that point she knew she wouldn't be returning home.

Jia died mid-October, with Marcus and Johnny beside her. Her final words were telling her son how much she loved him and always would, no matter what. She has a memorial plaque at a cemetery not far from her old temple in London, besides her father's and brother's, which her husband and son visit every opportunity they have.

Jia was a huge impact on her family's lives but also the lives of others as well. She was a leading advocate for disabled, women's, and queer rights, touching the hearts and minds of dozens. She was also well loved by her colleagues, students, neighbors, and fellow temple goers. Jia was commonly described as loving, dedicated, and a spit-fire, never backing down from what she believed in. She also had a sarcastic streak a kilometer wide and a tendency to be a bit of a jokester with close friends and family.

[ukrfeminism]

Gathered around a wooden table in an unremarkable local council room in east London, ten men are sat side by side. They span a range of ages, ethnicities and social backgrounds; some are in sportswear while some are in smart work gear, like they’ve just left the office. But there’s one thing they all have in common — they have carried out domestic abuse. And they are here to try and change their behaviour. 

“Domestic abuse is a choice,” Mark*, the course leader tells them, as the two-hour session begins. “Not one in the thousands of men I have worked with are possessed by demons or aliens. If you can choose to be bad, you can choose to be good.”

This week’s session of the Spotlight Programme — one of several across the country aimed at stopping people inflicting violence and abuse on their partners — is looking at the repercussions domestic abuse has on children. Eight of the men have, at one time, been under a bail condition which prevented them from contacting their children. 

Mark, who has worked with dozens of male prisoners who have killed their partners and counselled many perpetrators in the wider community, is here to encourage the men to reflect on the consequences of their actions. As he puts it, the abusers’ choice of behaviour has denied their children access to their father.

“When you are abusing your child’s mum, you are abusing your child,” he tells the group, as he hits play on a video. “Does anyone want their sons to grow up and be sitting with me? Does anyone want their daughters to grow up and be abused?”

He then asks the men to say how they would feel if it was their mum experiencing domestic abuse. “I’d be mad, angry, I’d want revenge,” one man says. Another says he would feel upset. The list goes on.

The men who come to these sessions have carried out a range of abuse, from physical violence to psychological abuse, coercive control, financial abuse, and sexual violence, Mark tells The Independent after the session. 

But a common thread is the way they downplay violence and abuse, as well as dodging responsibility and deflecting blame. “When they first join the program, most of them are of the view that, yes, I did do dot dot but it’s because she did X, Y, Z,” he adds.

Examples of the abuse involve men blocking partners from contacting their families, raping partners and strangling them. He also tells the story of a man who regularly denied his partner her medication when she was desperately ill. 

“From how she dresses, who she sees, where she goes, who she talks to, to having to be home at 7pm every night — these are all very controlling behaviours and we come across them every single day,” he said.

The Spotlight Programme was launched in 2020, with referrals coming from the police and children’s services. Some 677 individuals have been referred between the scheme starting and April of this year.

Data supplied by the local council shows 92 per cent who completed the programme saw a decrease in police contact involving domestic abuse. Eight per cent of participants have dropped out of the programme and five per cent have been suspended.

A study, carried out by Durham and London Metropolitan universities back in 2015, found far fewer women reported being physically attacked after their partner went to a programme, with 61 per cent beforehand in comparison to two per cent afterwards.

But Mark also warns that not all men who join the Spotlight Programme are suitable. On some occasions, the more light that is shone on a perpetrator’s behaviour, the more they proactively perpetrate that abuse.

One man was taken off the programme due to frequently laughing at abuse in the group sessions. He also admitted to laughing at the thought of his wife’s face when he was raping her.

Despite this, Mark is adamant his scheme has the ability to change an abuser’s behaviour if they acknowledge there is a problem and they are committed to changing it.

In his view, it is ultimately a man’s belief system which means he thinks he has the right to control and dictate his partner’s life choices. “We help them to understand that: look, you don’t always have to like your partner’s choices’,” he adds. “But there are alternative ways to respond other than abuse and violence.”

But funding issues mean schemes like Spotlight — which is accredited by domestic abuse charity Respect — are at risk of being discontinued. Although they are funded from a variety of places, including local authorities and police and crime commissioners, the programmes have been hit by reduced funding from the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice.

Jas Athwal, a local councillor in Redbridge, said Spotlight’s government funding came to an end in March this year as he explained they “desperately need” the money to continue. They are currently using local council money to pay for the scheme. “This is one of those things you can’t walk away from because this is going to have a real impact on a child’s life, on a victim’s life, on a family’s life.”

Mark’s course in Redbridge is one of just three accredited courses left in London, while there are 35 such schemes across the UK. But Caroline Bernard, a spokesperson for Respect, told The Independent the removal of funding has lead to a reduction in risk management or feedback and resulted in Respect telling schemes for perpetrators not to take on these cases as it is dangerous to do so.

Ms Bernard warned the slashing of funding has meant “the entire system has broken down” and that there are a “high number” of perpetrators who cannot access the schemes. 

“Ultimately, the lack of access to these programmes is putting the safety of domestic abuse survivors, and their children, at risk,” she said. 

The world’s first perpetrator programme took place in Deluth in Minnesota in the US in 1980, with other programmes modelling themselves on the scheme since then, Ippo Panteloudakis, head of services at Respect, said. The first perpetrator programme was launched in the UK in 1989. 

But perpetrator programmes are not free from controversy and many who work in the domestic abuse sector are sceptical of the schemes.

“We think they have a role to play but we are cautious about them,” Ellie Butt, of domestic abuse charity Refuge, says. “The evidence base is limited. There is evidence for some people they reduce some of the abuse. While we think that has a role, we don’t want to send a message to survivors that they should have to tolerate any abuse or slightly less severe abuse.”

She also warned perpetrators are “adept at manipulating systems and manipulating professionals and continuing abuse” as she noted many abuse multiple victims.

“They are not a solution in and of themselves. We still need a much better criminal justice response than we have and better services for survivors. They are not a silver bullet,” she said. 

For Paul*, a 36-year-old painter and decorator who lives in London, the Spotlight Programme helped change his behaviour towards his partner. He was arrested and investigated for perpetrating coercive control. 

“I’d become very overprotective of her... I had become smothering,” he said. “I was constantly monitoring where she was and wanting to know when she would be home. I would bombard her with text messages and phone calls. It wasn’t verbal abuse, it was more ‘where are you? Have you left me?’”

But Paul, who has three children with his partner, states his “whole attitude to everything has changed” since taking part in the programme in August last year.

“It has changed my life,” he adds. “I don’t jump in feet first - I judge the situation slowly and calmly. She has noticed a change in me. She has a bit more trust in me now. I leave her to live her life in peace now.”

A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: “The safety of children who have experienced domestic abuse is vital and we are currently reviewing the role of interventions in the private family court. 

“This includes working with experts, including in the domestic abuse sector, to consider what interventions the family court can most effectively provide in these cases.”

Mechanukkah night 5: Space Sweepers

Night 5 of @simplyender​‘s Hanukkah robot movie watch party! Space Sweepers is really good!! Go watch it!!! It’s an amazing spectacle of a Korean space blockbuster featuring an adorable found family and a trans robot. Not just an “uwu this robot has such trans vibes” trans robot but an actual, real instance of trans representation in a movie of this scale, making a poignant point about access to trans healthcare!

I’ve seen a few Korean action movies and they always have characters who are refreshingly different from the kinds of quip-spitting cool guys you find in their American counterparts. This movie is no exception, not being afraid to show its characters being dorks and deeply exploring their emotions. It achieves this by throwing a young girl into the care of a crew of badass space junk scavengers who all find themselves becoming mums and dads by the end; including the aforementioned robot, Bubs, whose interactions with the crew’s new collective daughter lead to her deciding to change her gender.

Another wonderful thing about Space Sweepers is its use of language for worldbuilding purposes. All the characters have devices in their ears that automatically translate everyone else, meaning they are all free to speak whatever language they please, leaving the audience to read subtitles. This means you have scenes where people are talking to each other in all kinds of languages; English and Korean, of course, but also Danish, French, Filipino, Arabic, Chinese, and even a dialect of Pidgin English which is something I don’t think I’ve ever heard in a movie before! The multiculturalism, as well as the general aesthetic, reminds me a lot of Cowboy Bebop and the way that anime always took care to be representative of a world where ethnic and cultural differences are no longer such a source of conflict. The live action reboot of Cowboy Bebop WISHES it could be as good as Space Sweepers.

So yeah go watch this movie. It’s great.

Mechanukkah word of the day: nanomachines, son!

We won’t be watching anything this evening or tomorrow since it’s Shabbat, and I might not be able to make it on Sunday for the final triple-feature since it’s C-word Day, so this might be my last Mechanukkah review this year. It’s been a lot of fun and I can’t wait for next time!

Trivia: Nothing of note so far

[temporary-screaming]

I hate my brother so much it’s getting unbearable. He’s so lazy and disrespectful, he’s always out so I’m left with the chores, he does nothing for the house or family yet he loves to talk about “family values” like he knows what that means. He’s so arrogant and acts like he’s the shit and that he can’t do no wrong and when he doesn’t like what you say he just talks over you and ends the convo when HE wants to or continue it when HE wants to. And yet he gets treated with the same respect I have to WORK for.

My dad calls me “son” because in his village if your daughter works hard and has the same value as a son , you call her one. My brother NEVER had to work to earn that title of son. Despite me having the title of son he still sees me as a daughter, another woman, someone to oder to his best friends sons because I can cook and clean. And my dad and brother wonder why I feel like shit all the time.

What I hate too is my mums side says that’s typical of their heritage like I’m not part of that ethnicity too and like they are so much better like they don’t praise and want the same behaviours from me, like they don’t offer me up to family friends sons.

I hate it and j just want to finally be away from my brother and my family, I love them but I feel them watching me and I just want to be alone. I hate that when I do BASIC CHORES that shouldn’t be gendered it’s like a coin in the good woman box

I got distracted from this rant from flight rising ngl

── ✒️ About Dambi

Warnings: Dysfunctional family, divorce, parental child abduction (?), infidelity

Growing up, Dambi's home life was turbulent, and her parents definitely should've divorced much earlier than they did. School up to the age of ten was pretty much hell, as she would miss weeks of school when her mum would take her and her siblings to hide in her grandparents' house. Their marriage finally ended after her dad got his mistress pregnant, signed the divorce papers, and disappeared with his new wife and son. Her mum got remarried 2 years later, and her dad had completely no contact with his three daughters for the next ~11 years.

To try and distract herself from her home life, Dambi was almost never home. Instead, she found hobbies and clubs to join, one of them being an independent dance group that she started taking herself to at around age 9. Eventually, dancing was no longer just an escape route, and it became a huge passion of hers. This made her become interested in music and K-pop. Simultaneously, Dambi began writing songs and poems about her struggles and home life.

In July 2016, she auditioned for an entertainment agency and made it in. Despite auditioning for rap, the company wanted to train her as a vocalist, so she took vocal classes for the 2 years she was there. In July 2018, Dam-Bi decided to leave the company as they had no plans to debut a girl group in the near future. From there, she joined SBE because they offered her a place in a new girl group that was set to debut in 4 months.

Dam-Bi often gets hate for being quiet at times, there are some very vocal ot6 fans because of her not being as funny as the other members.

Empowering transformation: My health and fitness Journey as a Women

To start on a journey to health and fitness wasn't just about shedding fat for me, it was about creating a better future for myself and my potential family. At one stage in my life not long ago I was overweight 86 kg and felt disconnected from my well-being from:

Stress eating

Binge eating

Not enough sleep

No exercising

 At a critical moment in my life, my boyfriend told me “I need to lose weight”. This comment hurt my ego so I felt attacked but now I realise he was genuinely concerned about my wellbeing and just wanted me to live a long happy life with him. My boyfriend’s mum told me “Obesity can reduce your rate of pregnancy and increase the chance of miscarriage.” This scared me because I want to have children in the future so I was determined to change my lifestyle and unhealthy habits. I have found a balanced and positive approach to health and fitness.

If I continued eating the way I did and did not exercise, I would experience many health complications which I did at the time. At the time I experience:

Really bad migraines

Depression

Lack of self-esteem

Unpredictable mood swings

Back pain.

This fueled my desire to change for the better by having a healthy diet, exercising daily and changing my mindset. This journey had a trial and error. I have tried many exercises that work and don’t work for me for example I tried doing the LE SSERAFIM workout with a Kpop girl group.. The first week was intense but the second week I stopped doing the workout because it has too many jumps causing shin splints. 

 I’m currently 65 kg and I’m happy I was able to achieve to lose 21 kg in less than a year! This process was not easy, I struggles with:

Overeating

saying no to some family events

relapsing to my bad habits. 

I have managed my healthy lifestyle by doing:

pilates and yoga every morning to improve my flexibility and mobility

eating fruits, vegetables and lean meats 

watching youtube videos to improve my healthy lifestyle.

Being consistent is key to improving my health and well-being. I struggled with being confident in my own body because of body ideals from the media and comparing myself with KPOP girl groups but I learned that seeing how strong your body is more empowering than its physical appearance.

Overcoming Stereotypes and stigma of girls participating in sports

From a young age back in Primary school I had a passion for sports. I always participated in school sports carnivals such as swimming, athletics and cross country. I enjoyed just giving it a go and didn’t care what others would think. I performed well at my school swimming carnival because I did swimming squad training after school. At the end of Primary school end-of-year ceremony awards, I received the all-rounder sports award because I gained the most points in participating in school sports and achievements.

 I received a negative response from a parent and they said to me “Asians and girls aren’t good at sports how did you even get the award?”. I felt frozen and didn’t know how to respond so I cried and walked away. This hurt me a lot at the time but I realised their opinions don’t matter to me because I can choose how I react to the situation. At the time I didn’t know they were being racist, stereotyping and discriminating against me. I think the parent asked me that question because her son didn't get the award.

Some classmates at school would call me a “tomboy” because I enjoyed and played a variety of sports. I don’t consider myself a tomboy even now I enjoy playing video games and skateboarding because I love using makeup and wearing cute clothes. No matter what your gender, ethnicity, or nationality, never give up on what your passion is even if there is hate from other people. I embrace my diverse interests so should you!

I have dealt with body image issues from a young age. A classmate said to me “I wish I had those toned-shaped calves as you have”. At the time I thought that was weird because I wanted skinny slim legs like hers. I now realise I love the way how natural body looks because everyone has their own body shape. 

 The girls in my swim squad were really skinny and I wish I had that body type so I didn’t want to eat dinner after my swim sessions. I had unrealistic body standards for myself. My parents were very worried, so they help and encourage me to eat. Since I didn’t eat dinner I felt weak and slow at swim training so I quit swimming. This helped me a lot because it’s important to eat after training so your muscles can recover. I value body positivity in my life now because I accept and love my unique body.

Transformation process

My boyfriend helped me get back into exercising, it was nice because he was like my own personal trainer. At first, he told me to do sit-ups, planks, and star jumps basically at home, this workout was similar to the LE SSERAFIM workout. I quit exercising after 1 week because I didn’t like the workout and I thought at the time “Why is my boyfriend dissing my weight? I don't need to exercise I’m fit and should love my body as it is…”.

 This leads me to gain up to 86kg in a few months. I’m glad my boyfriend encouraged me to exercise and change my lifestyle because I would not have without his support. I started to do at-home workout videos from “Grow with Jo” on YouTube. I loved her workout videos at the time but now I got sick of it because it’s HITT, it felt too intense for me.

Exercising when it’s the time of the month, you can feel unmotivated, weak and sore. I pushed through and did light exercises because it’s important to have blood flow and body movement when on your period. I found that if I didn't exercise I would have bad migraines.

I invested in a deadlift bar with a total weight of 50kg because my boyfriend encouraged me to deadlift weights. I preferred to workout at home than a gym because it saves me time and money. I have no experience deadlifting weights so it was intimidating and scary at first. I didn't want to look bulky like Hulk. My goal was to get lean and strong. For my first deadlift, my boyfriend was there to support and guide me because I had no clue what I  was doing. He told me “Always keep your back straight, you don't want a back injury”. My first deadlift was 25kg, it was challenging at the time I could feel my legs shake.

I gained more confidence in squatting 50kg now! I set small goals such as

Making a workout plan

Build up (from small weights to heavier)

Be consistent every day

Take breaks so you can recover

Focus on form

I wanted to take a break from weight training, so I discovered Pilates and yoga. I never got into Pilates because I always felt like I needed to be skinny like the other girls on social media who do it, but it doesn't matter because I do my own workouts at home no one cares. Pilates and yoga are more calming compared to the other exercise activities I tried. I use free yoga YouTube videos which are so helpful and engaging for my fitness journey. I discovered affirmation and meditation from my favourite yoga YouTuber called “Yoga with Kassandra”. She has helped me have a positive day by having gratitude. Meditation has helped me in controlling my emotions and being present at the moment. I have discovered which workouts work best for me. You can experiment with which workouts work best for you!

My Journey has overcome racial biases, breaking gender stereotypes and silence in self-doubt thoughts. In sharing my story, I hope to ignite the spark of transformation in others, fostering self-empowerment, self-love, and a holistic approach to health and fitness. By advocating for the dismantling of gender stereotypes in fitness, my aim is to motivate others to take back control of their health journeys. I hope that this can help motivate your health and fitness Journey.

Tesco is launching a campaign centred around a busy family excitedly preparing for the Eid celebration, which marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. 

Tesco, BBH and EssenceMediaCom worked together to create the campaign, developed in partnership with strategic equity, diversity & inclusion consultancy The Unmistakables. The team also involved the Race and Ethnicity Network at Tesco to ensure the experiences of Ramadan and Eid were represented authentically. We worked with Relish to get deeper insight into the importance and how people observe

and celebrate Ramadan and Eid, and System 1 to ensure that the work was received well and emotionally

resonant with our primary audience, achieving the highest possible score among the Muslim audience

(5.9-Stars) on their IPA-validated effectiveness scale. .

The “Alia’s ‘worth the wait' Samosas” campaign follows Alia, who is keeping her young son Umar entertained by challenging him to see if he can spot the new moon for himself. Umar knows that once the moon is sighted, Eid will be declared, which means family and friends will join them in feasting and celebration, and they will finally be able to eat one of his Mum’s delicious veggie samosas. The creative is focussed on the yearly tradition of waiting for the moon sighting, a moment that is always a topic of conversation within Muslim families as they await the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.

Readjusting

I'm just going to reflect on here in English. I had a bit of a slump in terms of language learning the past month after returning to the UK from the Philippines at the end of January, I got quite emotional after and anything to do with the Philippines while readjusting was just making me feel some type of way. (It's not something I can really talk about to my friends irl because it's not very relatable so I thought I'd air it out here).

For context, I hadn't been back to the Philippines in almost a decade, the last time I went was at 15 and I celebrated my 16th birthday there. I used to visit my family once every two years up until then. Even though I'm mixed and grown up in Britain, being Filipino feels a much bigger part of my identity than being english as I grew up with my widow pinoy mum, with no extended family on my white side. All my mum's fellow balikbayan friends and their kids were my pinoy family here. In this country I was seen more as Asian than white growing up, which always made me identify more with being Filipino as this is the culture of my family and nobody saw me as English here.

In my opinion, your ethnic identity is a very personal thing, as not everyone's relationship with their culture is the same. It does hurt me when people make assumptions about my cultural identity but it's something I've been working on not caring about as much as I've come to accept that this is inevitable.

My relationship with my mum is quite complicated, although I'll always love her, to put it bluntly, I suffer with a narcissistic parent. She was never supportive of me learning Tagalog or Bisaya as this only makes her feel guilty for not teaching me as a child.

At 18 when we were due another visit, she went without me. Conveniently timed when I would be sitting my exams so she could use that excuse. At 21 I thought we'd finally go together again as one of my cousin's was getting married, we planned to go in 2020, which due to obvious reasons, got cancelled. We continued to plan a trip together for when things would be easier, but things were still up in the air with COVID. In 2022 she told me she'd just gone ahead and booked another trip without me. This broke my heart. Money was not an issue because she knew I would've paid for my own ticket. She didn't care that I hadn't seen the only family I have in 8 years, and instead tried to spin it around and make me feel bad that she hasn't seen her sisters in 5. She didn't think about how this decision would've made me feel.

I felt betrayed, like my own mother didn't see me as a part of her family; thinking me coming along was something that could be easily missed. But I and my family are only getting older. I was thinking about all of the years I'd missed. How some family members may die before I'd ever get to see them again. How I wanted to see my god-son while he was still a little baby boy. My mother's disregard to all of this made me feel like she didn't see me as Filipino.

I decided it was time I finally experience going to the Philippines as an independent adult and began planning my own solo trip for new years/ my birthday. This trip was an incredibly emotional experience for me. I felt connected to the Philippines in a way I had never felt before. Even though I still felt foreign, the comfort of being around family again was a feeling I'd completely forgotten. As an only child with a complicated parental relationship, I never really had a sense of family back home in the UK. I was using bisayan phrases for the first time with them, which is something I never did around my mum who would force everyone to speak english around me (to feel posh). In Manila I was using tagalog here and there. Even just trying a few words or phrases was a huge step for me because my biggest hurdle with language learning has always been speaking, as I'd always be too anxious. I learned to forgive myself for not being fluent, because I'm trying, and that this doesn't diminish my identity. I was so worried that this trip would make me feel like I wasn't really filipino anymore, that I'd missed too much, that my whiteness would stick out like a sore thumb, but I actually felt so welcomed, not just by my family but by the friends I had made along the way too. Coming back for the first time in 8 years was the most enriching and meaningful experience I'd felt. The hardest part was saying goodbye.

something qwhite interesting

as one does i was hyperfixating on alexander and i noticed - are most, if not all notable poc characters in young royals set as half white?

obviously sweden is naturally a very white society, and i’d imagine even more so in upper class institutions like hillerska. i remember lisa defending diverse casting and speaking about representing a swedish society she would like to see, so i’m interested to know does she then believe/ is trying to say that in the YR world, poc still need a certain proximity to whiteness to be That Rich (and elite)

we know that felice has a white mother. (who still definitely displays some micro-racism to felice, yikes) i presume her dad, the black man, is the breadwinner of the family - but august still describes her as Modern Nobility. note modern. she’s rich, and elite, and of a desireable class, and yet she’s not of old money or nobility. i cannot be sure if her dad has generational wealth in sweden, or is what august would describe as nouveau riche, but her mum definitely displays social climber tendencies with the obsession with wille. note that felice is still, by western standards, relatively light skinned as a black woman. (still pretty cool that YR depicted a black girl as the desirable love interest to a nordic prince though - and the fact that all of wille’s love interest(s) are poc! excited to see will they ever address this power disparity and the white privilege he has against simon - amongst all the other privileges he has)

alexander (my beloved) has a white dad as we know, and a white passing name. his mother who must be EAsian/ SEAsian was never shown on screen (not that i remember of) and is not of importance to the story i guess. the rest of the society is white. i wonder is alex technically part of the society too - is he also noble born and first son? (although the casting rumours for a potential older sibling disputes that) i will then ask is alexander, the only poc in the society’s space, only allowed to be there because of his proximity to whiteness - east asians have a history of being viewed as unthreatening and submissive. like, if alex isn’t noble and first born, couldn’t august have just found a random white boy minion? honestly i’m still not sure how to feel about this stereotype being played up, but it is also partially realistic to a character who has to exist in such a racially imbalanced environment (rip)

nils is the one we’re not sure if he is half white or not. august described him as nouveau riche - so it is possible that he would be considered ‘immigrant’ instead of mixed white swedish. or maybe he’s second or third gen, and his family has been accumulating wealth in sweden for ages. we don’t know. i wonder if him not being mixed white swedish is what distinguishes him from the nobility of the society - he seems pretty comfortable with the rest of the guys, so i’m leaning towards him being pretty much Swedish instead of first gen or an international student

madison is the international student from new york, and being from the united states is pretty much her essence. the actress nathalie is of lebanese descent, but madison’s ethnicity is not mentioned at all in canon. (maddie speak arabic when!) we assume 1) she has ties to sweden, and 2) she is Rich, in order for her to end up in hillerska. i don’t know does this translate to her being mixed white swedish, but canon definitely portrays her as white (in my opinion?) another scenario is that she is Swedish, but her family just happens to live in the states for business or whatever reason. i’m leaning towards her being pretty much only connected to the states, since she seems pretty bewildered by all the old money european culture around class and monarchy, for someone of her wealth background

simon and sara are the outliers to this pattern because they’re not rich, and they pretty much portray the first gen (i say first gen because linda seems uncomfortable at times, so i’d guess she didn’t grow up in sweden) immigrant instead of the privileged mixed white swedish kid - they didn’t necessarily have to be half white, seeing that omar (as we know of) is Not half white, although i am glad they did not give him a drug dealing latino dad 💀 (simon falling into the drug dealing trope is bad enough… at least he can blame the white dad, oof) otherwise, it would have been nice for simon to Not be half white, to show that he could still be Swedish (and bagging the prince lmao) even though he is latino

i do wish that there are more explicitly Not Half White poc in the YR-verse though

there was absolutely no conclusion to this weird headcanon/ analysis thing but thanks for reading lmao feel free to steal this as fic material

Nick Hedges is a documentary photographer who was hired by welfare organisations in the 1960s and 70s. They asked him to document the experiences of Brits living in slums and low-quality housing.

An unemployed son talks to his mother (Newcastle upon Tyne, England, 1971). At the time, Newcastle upon Tyne’s unemployment rate was nearly double that of Britain’s overall rate — and climbing. In 1970, 40% of Newcastle upon Tyne’s homes were council housing.

Father and child in a housing tenement in Maryhill, Glasgow, Scotland (1971). Hedges recalls many of Maryhill’s tenements were deemed unfit for human inhabitation, and were being demolished. There was little communication with residents. One morning, a family woke to the sounds of their tenement being demolished, and frantically ran outside to scream at the workers to stop.

Mother and her family living in slum housing in Liverpool, England (1970). The homes in Liverpool slums frequently had no running water, no sinks, no toilets or bathrooms, no heating or insulation, and no hot water. In 1970, three million families lived in the slums of the UK.

Mother and daughter chat in their cellar flat in Liverpool, England (1969).

Michael (aged 11) holds his baby brother in the kitchen of his home (London, England, 1969). The family of eight lived in a two-bedroom cellar with no bathroom. Michael later came forward, fifty years later, to talk about his childhood experiences. He remembers being hungry and cold all the time, and stealing food so he could eat. “Mum never smiled. Ever,” Michael’s sister recalled. Hedges recalled the family’s home being very small, dark, and damp. He had to install a lightbulb so he could actually take photographs.

Children play outside their homes (Gorbals, Glasgow, Scotland, 1970). Gorbals was in the midst of a “slum clearance”. The government was slowly demolishing the Gorbals slum, and residents were left to live amongst rubble, their houses side-by-side with half-destroyed buildings.

A single mother with her daughter, living in one room in a boarding house (Notting Hill, London, England, 1972). Notting Hill was a hotspot for dilapidated bedsits and overcrowded flats. Unscrupulous landlords often blatantly overcharged tenants who belonged to marginalised ethnic groups, as they knew the tenants had usually been rejected from other places and were desperate to find housing.

A family living in a hostel for homeless people (London, England, 1969). The hostels were dormitory-style buildings with large rooms lined with up to 100 thin metal bunk-beds. The organisations who ran the hostels often referred to ‘warehousing’ people, and required people to ‘earn’ the right to stay by completing cleaning jobs or maintenance work. Hostels were very transient and short-term places; an uncertain half-step from sleeping rough.

A young mother prepares a bed for her three eldest children to share (with the fourth — the youngest — sleeping in the cot). There were no mattresses or blankets. She had two single seat cushions and a large raincoat instead. Of all the people Hedges photographed, he said it was this mother he worried about the most. He recalls it being winter when he took this photograph, with snow coming through the broken window. There was no heating or hot water. “She really was in dire straits,” Hedges said. He still worries about her, fifty years after the photograph was taken.

Talbott’s Ethnicity

(First of all: English is not my first language, it’s Spanish. Sorry if I confuse the words between race, ethnicity, ancestry, heritage, and so on. I do not mean to offend anybody, and I would really appreciate any correction.)

Short answer: Talbott is mixed. His mother was probably a Native American descendant. He also has some caucasian heritage by his father’s side. His father was British. 

Okay, but hEar mE oUt

We know that Hogwarts Mystery shows a lot of diversity in terms of ethnicity. Some of them are pretty obvious, but when it comes to Talbott’s ethnicity it’s not clear. One day, I was on reddit and I saw a comment saying that Talbott was probably a Native American descendant, especially by his mother’s side; immediately I started to support that theory, and here's why:

- What do we know about Talbott's mother?

She was a (beautiful) white swan animagus

She was pretty skilled in herbology

She owned a huge garden filled with both magical and normal plants (including pumpkins)

She was a healer at St. Mungo's

She collected some muggle books, one of them being “Of mice and men”

She and her husband opposed Lord Voldemort in the First Wizarding War, but they never joined any kind of organization.

Short time before dying, she made two necklaces with her own feathers, one for her husband and the other for her son.

She was the one who taught Talbott how to become an Animagus so that he could escape if necessary.

She and Talbott were pretty close.

She and her husband were killed by Death Eaters between 1978 and 1981. Talbott managed to scape from this attack due to his animagus form.

Now, what does all that matters?

Well, because there are several things about her that make you think that she is a Native American descendant. In Pottermore, Rowling wrote this article that talks about Native American wizards in Harry Potter’s world. 

This article states that several of the branches of magic in which Talbott's mother and Talbott himself are skilled, are the most developed by ancient Native American cultures: herbology, healing, magic involving animals and also the use of assumed animal forms to escape from persecution.

And talking about assumed animal forms... She was a swan animagus. Swans representes grace, purity, beauty, love, fidelity, and also death. Okay, but it turns really interesting when you search for the swan meaning for Native American Cultures. For Native Americans, swans were sacred animals with a very deep spiritual and magical significance, especially in Shamanism. The swan by itself represents healing, and what was Talbott’s mum? A healer.

Also, did you know that a female shaman is called a “swan” in some Native American languages?

Finally, the matter of the feather necklaces. For North American cultures, feather jewelry was sacred; and it represented both protection and a special bond between the person who gave the gift and the person who received it. Talbott's feather necklace is like a charm that his mother made to protect him from physical and/or spiritual danger. In fact, that necklace even looks like beads or a dream catcher; both are also talismans representative of Native American cultures.

Once we're done analyzing his mother, let's take a look at Talbott.

Physical appearance

In official art, Talbott is a slender and tall wizard (or at least, he’s taller than Penny, Jae and Chiara) with brown skin, hooked nose, reddish eyes, bIG eyebrows and dark brown hair that seems to be bleached on some parts (we don’t know if it’s natural, magical or chemical bleached).

So what? 

Well, some of his physical characteristics seem to indicate that he is of Native American and Caucasian heritage.

Native American features:

Eyebrows

Lips

Eyes

Skin

Nose

Caucasian features:

His very angular facial features

Slim complexion

Height

Hair

Wearing:

Within the game, Talbott does not have a set casual outfit. He is usually seen in the characteristic Hogwarts robes. But when it comes to the special events outfits, the things become more interesting.

Talbott seems to really like wearing boots. He wears boots in pretty much all of his outfits, except for Festival Fun. Also, he seems to enjoy wearing formal suits with ties. This doesn’t say nothing, but the jewelry he use does.

This jewelry consists on beads, turquoise bracelets, feathers in clothes and bolo ties. All of them are usually seen on traditional Native American jewelry. 

His chest omg

This is the bolo tie.

Why would you say that his father was British? It could be of any other nationality!

Because, first of all: Talbott couldn’t attend to Hogwarts if he wasn’t British or Irish.

Second, the name Talbott is a very English name. And also, his last name Winger has a deeply English origin.

So, what do you think? Do you support the theory?
