I don’t care about the little mermaid, I don’t care for live action remakes, but I can tell you one thing: I am SO STOKED to see a photorealistic crab sing with a jamican accent. True crab rave energy.

[quillandrapier]

Being someone who's black jamican and Indian is so strange right now.

Ive not seen this level of racial confusion since I was a child. Literally it's really not that strange someone be of multiple hereitages but for some reason if someone is mixed between two non white ethnicities people lose their goddamn minds.

Yes, Jamaicans and Indian people can meet. Some meet on a night out in a club, like my parents did. Then they can have kids and those kids are both black and Indian. It's like we haven't moved past racial segregation. I know conservatives are doing this on purpose but god is this annoying.

[chimerathewriter]

How on earth there are no Hobie x black reader like, revolutionary black man with revolutionary black woman/man/person

No sweet talk about their fave black alt artist: Nova Twins, X ray Spex, Militia Vox, and Tina Turner (here in the UK we love her RIP)

No wash day doing each other hair, or reader forgets to put their scarf/bonnet on so Hobie puts on for them while they are asleep.

Shitting on colonisers

Maybe readers is English and child of immigrant and cooks traditional food for Hobie (Jamican, Nigerian, Haitian all the black diaspora). Them going in African shops or stealing from racist hair shop owners.

Looking out for Gwen, Miles and Pav

They did say from great power comes great responsability

From lack of fanfiction with black people comes not expecting people to do it for you especially majority of reader are still white be default

[druvjelly]

figuring out the ages a bit more

user u/DragonRoar87 on the TNMN subreddit pointed out how the game takes place 10 years after WWII, which means that some male characters are veterans (some make sense for like Steven). Now if we track the etymological background of the names. Okay now now now, the names vaguely sound like it belongs to a certain language family/ethnic group. For some I hade to google so here are my sources for them.

Stilnsky: Slavic

Peachman: English

Cipriani: italian

Sverchtz: german

Schmidt: german

Gauss: german

Bubbles: english

Mikaelys: Germanic (dutch, german) and Jewish

Stone: English

Afton: English (mainly found in places in the USA which had english colonizers)

Rudboys: uhh... no proper origin here, but I did find a jamican subculture called rudeboys. But I suppose it is of english background

Moss: can either be of jewish, irish, or english background

Cappucin: Italian

So based on the surnames etymology and time the game takes place in. It is safe to assume it probably takes place somewhere in new york or new england (aka the states above new york to the east)...

WAIT!

Jerma comes from new england...

are we playing as jerma?

Aynway, i bet we play in boston or a boston esque like city

So birb xenofiction? 👀

Just copying and pasting my notes

Watched the Bob Marley movie and it just switched a thing in my brain about my Jamaican heritage and made me go into over drive as well as rewatching Rio.

Somewhat going back and forth on regular animals versions or anthro cuz I kinda want them to have weapons like swords and armor but it works either way.

Mostly trying to go for birds only found in jamaica but I'm not too picky.

It’s fun to work on how the different types of birds from the islands are as a culture and towards each other, obvs planning a conlang.

The plot itself is up in the air, got a short stories/slice of game of thrones life currently.

I specifically have a cuckoo character in mind who I'm losing my mind over. Like a character based solely on motherhood isn't great but this is a cuckoo, it goes against her very nature which is what makes it interesting.

Though keep in mind, I have never read/watched guardians of ga’hoole so if I say anything similar to it, it’s not on purpose.

Song is everything to most species. Combat engages with song, its not a sport (for most), its an art and to disrespect is like turning your back on the rising sun.

A good majority worship the rising sun and their language and culture definitely reflects that in some cases.

Here's a few:

Hummingirds (Jamaican Mango, red/black-billed streamertail): what they lack in size, they make up for in attitude. They live in empires compared to the usual kingdoms or coalitions that the other species have. The jamican mango in particular often find themselves overseeing other species districts alongside Cuckoos.

Parrots (Yellow/Black-tipped parrot): the most common, everywhere and everywhere. Chatty and petty as hell. Paired on with humming birds when it comes to involving themselves in politics. They're networking is only outdone with the Crows.

Pigeons (crested quail-dove and Ring-tailed pigeon): the workhorse of the species so to speak. They're everywhere, doing all sorts of odd jobs and mercenary work. General middle class.

Cuckoos (Chestnut-bellied and Jamaican-lizard): tricksters of flight with their unorthidox and downright horrid parenting (read: lack-thereof). Groups of nomadic females spotted make a game with surrounding bird groups of combat which they win majority of the time and get to dump their eggs. Many know its better to just deal with the additional egg and most of the time get to keep their original clutch if they play nice. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Involved in polities more than most think they are.

Corvid (Jamaican Crow): referred to as the warlocks of the islands for their practices with the spirits and their emphasis on traditions and ceremonies. If there's ever a species to not cross, it's them. At the fore front in politics and typically either have simple murders or kingdoms.

Plenty of bird drama ideas truely

@headstrongblake said: ☾ — [sender] and [receiver] go shopping for gifts together / kass & o, o shopping for nick??

with exams done and over with the girls only had a handful of days left to finish their christmas shopping and well what a better way to do it than go together? especially since they hadn't spent as much time as they wanted to the last couple months with everything going on. kassy had already gotten octavia her present so she hadn't any worry now as they first headed to get themselves a latte before they started their hunt. after taking a sip with a happy little hum at the warm delicious liquid, she hooked arms with her best friend, walking along the inside of the mall. "alright, who are you looking for today then? i've got.... alec, rev, liv and nick still to do," she listed off with a shrug. "i think i know what i'm going to get alec... i mean he's pretty easy, you can get him just about anything and it's like you've gifted him gold," she teased adoringly.

i need to get him something too but.... i'm trying to think of something to get nick too. her brows rose and she nodded with pursed lips, "alright, lets brainstorm, what would he like... i was thinking about getting him some fancy jamican cigars," she said with a shrug, "uhm, he likes reading right? and what about some new.... tool box or tool belt or... wrench? i dunno," she laughed, "maybe something for his bike? new gloves?" she shrugged as they walked past some clothing stores, "ohhh... what about some new nice shirts?" she suggested before glancing at octavia and rolling her eyes, "what's that look for? what? is shirts not a sisterly to brotherly gift?" maybe not with kassy's reasoning behind why she'd buy them for him.

taking another sip of her drink, she swung arms with octavia, shrugging, "men are so hard to shop for," she agreed when octavia mulled over the ideas kassy had suggested but she wasn't sure about them. "ohhh," kassy then said, eyes lighting up as they made it to a music store, "what if we get him a record player for the garage?" she grinned as she tugged o into the store, taking a sip of her coffee. "there's a perfect spot he can put it out there, by the couch? listen to some music while he's out there working?" she looked at the different kinds, "i wonder if they have records to the music he likes here... they must," she murmured more to herself before, "what music does he like again? its like old school rock right? but i forget the band..." she flipped through a few records before octavia answered, listing off a few artists. "oh, here," she picked out two and looked up at octavia then with a bright yet questioning gaze, "what do you think?"
