#hws Mozambique

[kaimaciel]

A funny one. During a get together, Mozambique noticed Angola staring at Afonso.

He asks "what's wrong?"

"I have my suspicions that he and caçula are going out."

"What! That sounds absurd!"

"But when I ask Luciano he always says he and Afonso just had a ugly fight. But I don't remember many fights that end with bite marks."

"why won't you ask the old man? But be subtle. Like, start talking about the weather."

"hmm, alright"

Then Zola goes to talk with Afonso. He greets her "Olá Zola!"

"Hey! Nice weather huh?"

"yeah, it's a little too humid but-"

"Have you and Luciano been fucking?"

Mozambique chokes on his drink.

"Zola, why are you asking such difficult questions?"

"It's not a difficult question. Are you fucking? Yes or No?"

"It's difficult because you're not going to like the answer."

Zola and Afonso stare at each other for a few moments, while Mozão looks at them back and forth.

"OH! I can't believe you, Afonso! Have you no shame?"

"You know me well enough to know the answer, Zola," Afonso answers with a little smile. "But seriously, do you really think I manipulated Luciano? He went after me in the parking lot. Trapped me between the seats before shoving his tongue down my mouth."

Mozambique looked around, unconfortable.

"This is way too much information."

Zola raises her eyebrows. "You're telling me Luciano seduced you on some parking lot? Why didn't you stop him?"

"Everytime I said we couldn't do this, it just turned him on more. The next time, we had a fight and he pulled into a bathroom stall and ripped open my shirt with his teeth."

And with that Mozambique ran out of the room.

The same goes for the lusophony family.

Like Angola, Mozambique, Macau and Guine Bissau are definitely not Portugal children. They do have familiar ties but their relationship is not one of father-children.

Brazil, Timor Leste, São Tomé e Príncipe e Cabo Verde do see Portugal in a fatherly manner. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s a peaceful relationship, or that all of colonialism aspects and problems are brushed away.

I’ve mentioned before that Manuela sees most of South America as her cousins, but I want clear that doesn’t mean all Latin America are Antonio’s children. Some of them are, but others aren’t.

Who I headcanon not being children of Spain:

• Paraguay

• Uruguay

• Panamá

• Bolivia

• Guatemala

• Costa Rica

* there’s probably more but I want to study more for clarification

Rare Pair Week, day 3: Culture

@aphrarepairweek2021

South Africa/Mozambique, PG, 500 words.

.

“You cut your hair,” is the first thing she tells him when he comes closer to her in the airport arrivals lounge, and South Africa blinks at this small woman with her heart-shaped face and full lips crisped in distaste.

“Hello to you too, Moz.”

The ride to her house is quiet, and he knows better than to test her when she closes herself off like this. He looks at the road instead. At the tall tree tops and the azure beaches beyond.

“I had that dream again,” she says, eyes still turned straight ahead and he studies her profile, her high cheekbones, her big golden earrings and the perfect folds of her colorful capulana wrapped around her head.

“Did you sleepwalk again?” She nods. “Moz… that can be dangerous.”

“I know that,” she cuts him off sharply and South Africa presses his lips closed. Mozambique exhales with a slight shudder, her narrow shoulders dropping, her guard lowering. “I know that,” she repeats, softer this time.

He notices the bags under her eyes, dark circles on her usually clear, healthy skin. “What was it this time?” She glanced at him with furrowed brows, and he complemented, “The dream, what was it this time?”

“Why did you cut your hair?” she asks instead, shooting him another glare.

He sighs, passing a hand over his buzz cut hair, barely an inch of it left after he tried cutting it by himself at home. “Hair grows back.”

She huffs, turning a corner and pulling her car up into her street.

Her living room is painted an elegant shade of light grey and her curtains are white. She still keeps her old rifle hung on the wall behind her couch, neatly cleaned and oiled, the black barrel a sharp contrast in color to the soft tones of her home.

“What did you dream about, Moz?” he tries again, standing in the midst of her home and things and watches as she turns her car keys around her fingers like lines in a fishing net.

Mozambique turns her big brown eyes to him, her kind heart-shaped face tight with sorrow. “Same as always.”

“The dog again?”

She nods, looking down. He sighs. The clock on the far wall tells him there is still time before her sister gets there for the dinner party Mozambique had been planning for weeks, and since being late runs in their family there was even more time still. He puts his bags down on the floor and pulls her hands to him.

“Let’s go to the beach,” he says and she cocks her head to the side, looking at him with the beginnings of a smile.

“Only if you promise to never get rid of your hair like that again.”

He rolls his eyes. “It needed a trim.”

“Then you should have come to me and I’d do it.”

When he pulls her hands the rest of her body follows and her small frame fits perfectly in his arms.

“Deal.”

Notes:

There are two literary references here because I love Mozambican literature too much, and they are: Sleepwalking Land, by Mia Couto (1992), and my personal favorite, We killed the mangy dog, by Luís Bernardo Honwara (1964). Both have already been translated into English.

Mozambican women are known for their skincare, the traditional mussiro masks have both a symbolic traditional use and a cosmetic one. They used to be worn by young women to symbolize their virginity, but that practice has gone into disuse and nowadays it’s worn by any woman. I’m going to leave this article here for a more detailed description.

The capulanas are colorful fabrics imported from India worn by Mozambican women. They used to be brought in by Arabic traders since the 9th century and are worn in a variety of ways.

The rifle is, of course, a reference both to the Mozambican Independence War and to the Mozambican flag.

Being late is part of the lusophone world. :|

[ask-lady-port]

I know I've sent an ask already(sorry ;w;) but where is the CPLP gang? Also I love your artstyle!

((here they are, the CPLP gang!

i based their outfits on their traditional clothing or picked a few elements and used them for their design. im pretty content with the way they turned out haha

next to Portugal is Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and Sao Tome and Principe

and thank you so much! glad you like it! i’ll get to your other ask soon

[kaimaciel]

Brazil: Mozambique, I wanna show you something in the bathroom.

Mozambique: Oh, Luciano, grow up!

Portugal: Hey, what’s behind your back?

Brazil: Nothing. Just something I want to get Mozambique’s opinion on for Valentine’s Day.

Portugal: You don’t want my opinion?

Brazil: Not really.

Portugal: Come on, I’m your Dad, ask me!

Brazil: All right, Dad. (holds up two erm…revealing articles of clothing) Which of these do you think would make your favorite son look hotter, so his boyfriend would want to do him?

Portugal: (quietly) The red one.

[sorvete-de-pacoca]

Portugal: How did none of you hear what I just said?

Brazil: I’ve been zoned out for the past two and a half hours.

Angola: I got distracted about halfway through.

Mozambique: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

[kaimaciel]

*Brazil slips up and calls Portugal "Daddy" during a family meeting*

Brazil: *visible frustration and embarassement. Says he didn't mean it while blushing deep red*

Angola, Mozambique: *Merciless teasing*

Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe: *laughs their asses off*

Timor: *tells everyone to give him a break*

Macau: *thinks it's cute, wished he had filmed it*

Portugal: *leaves the room, cries happy tears in the bathroom*

[disaster-fruit]

Is it weird to fall in love with your own ocs?

[kaimaciel]

Cabo Verde: I thought you were helping Mozambique write his love letter.

Angola: We were until he kicked us out because someone kept making inappropriate suggestions.

Brazil: How is "I love your sweet ass" in any way inappropriate?

[kaimaciel]

Portugal: Alright, I've called all your bosses with an excuse so we can all go and watch the game.

Portugal: Angola you have a cold.

Portugal: Mozambique you got a sore throat.

Portugal: Cabo Verde you have faringitis.

Portugal: Brazil, massive hemorrhoids.

Brazil: Why do I get massive hemorrhoids?!

Portugal: If you're going to miss work for hemorroids, they have to be massive.

[disaster-fruit]

Angola: So did you kiss him?

Mozambique: No, the moment wasn’t right.

Mozambique: Look, South Africa could be my future husband and I want our first kiss to be amazing.

Angola: Awn, Momo that’s so sweet. You chickened out like a little bitch

[disaster-fruit]

Very low effort Mozão to practice digital art. Ignore the bad anatomy and the boring color palette etc etc I still have a lot of practice to do

[disaster-fruit]

Pinterest keep showing me pictures of handsome men in those African print shirts and that justs makes me want to draw Mozão in all of them.

Aph Mozambique belongs to @portu-cale and the design to me
