Léogâne se lève contre la menace des gangs : une marche pour la sécurité et la paix

Ce mercredi 21 août 2024, les rues de Léogâne, ville historique située à l’entrée sud de Port-au-Prince, résonneront sous les pas déterminés de ses citoyens. Des organisations de la société civile ont appelé à une marche massive pour protester contre l’invasion croissante des gangs dans les environs. Cette initiative, soutenue par une grande partie de la population locale, vise à dénoncer les…

i just need to rant about this silly idea i have for lab rats ( gotten into it again hshshs)( i ain’t no writer so bare with me)

(Please someone make this into a fanfic and my life is yours!!/lh/hj)

Leo rebellion arc/J ( honestly maybe)

I had an idea /fic idea where Leo sneaked out of the bionic island after having a bit of a argument .decided to take Logan and Taylor along (because um they’re a team Hshshs) with a bit of convincing which I don’t think Leo would have any trouble with it >:3.(I would like to think that this would be during when Leo created the team and before Taylor became blind). Just imagine them arriving at the mainland and having fun? Maybe going to a park or getting late night ice cream? Or doing anything dangerous >:]( i would like to think they would bring Marcus along as well ) ( he’s been rebuilt and reprogrammed because yes) the only problem would be chase waking up due to his senses/bionic hearing .I absolutely love those fics where the bionic siblings are protective of Leo ( I know they’re protective of each other and I know Leo can protect themselves) (he/they pronouns for Leo because yes) ANYWAYS i just find it very interesting when reading things like that . Very wholesome. I would like to think that Douglas would be the first one to catch Leo trying to sneak out ( probably due to staying up late to work on a project)but doesn’t say anything instead he would try to cover for leo ( he understands the kid )So obviously when chase notice that Leo is gone , Douglas immediately would come up with something to cover leo absence.( oouh Leo gonna be in trouble/J)

Honestly this really was just a silly idea that I kept thinking about

Originally I was going to mention about Leo using a motorcycle after sneaking out the house ( that it would be cool obviously they wouldn’t be the one driving it hshshs )

(This would be probably take place where they still lived in mission creek 🤷‍♂️) ( an opportunity for Leo and Marcus to bond because yes why not)(what could go wrong with bonding with your enemy?/lh/j)

[lab-trash]

I plan to have Logan in The L in LREF Stands for Leo, but... lowkey, Leo be having chemistry with Skylar. I'm here for it. And Leo's definitely going to play a role in getting her powers back, 100%. Chase is gonna be like "Heyyy... Leoooo.... I need help researching Skylar so we can try to get her powers back." And Leo's gonna be the one who comes up with the idea, Chase is just gonna do the sciences.

Basically Oliver has no role in it whatsoever. Because LREF Oliver needs humbling.

The Cacicazgo of Xaragua: The Zenith of Indigenous Caribbean Polities

The history of Xaragua, perhaps meaning Country of the Lakes, remains elusive. Despite its recognition by authorities such as Las Casas as the zenith of the Taino chiefdoms on Hispaniola, and perhaps in the entire Caribbean, we know little about it besides what the Spanish chronicles have described. Indeed, with the exception of Behechio and Anacaona, we know nothing about its previous rulers. Furthermore, archaeological research in Haiti has been less rich than other parts of the Greater Antilles, so who knows what may be buried under Leogane and Port-au-Prince that could shed light on the indigenous past of the region?

NPC’S: Iosef

The first nonhostile npc we encounter in Bloodborne 2 comes only shortly after we first arrive in Elpium and encounter Nicehis the Flenser. Whether she slays your character or you manage to defeat her and later get pushed into the Flooded Chapel by Leogan, you are immediately brought to a dark screen as your character loses their life, and you are faced with the fist of many “YOU HAVE DIED”’s.

As the black screen slowly fades into a cutscene, the sound of dripping water can be heard, and a distinctly masculine voice greets you in apathy.

> “Ah. Good Nicehis sends her regards once again. Come then, and partake. Let your newfound hunger guide you.”

The scene gradually comes into focus, revealing your character in what seems to be a flooded cistern, on their hands and knees in the water. Though the water is dark, the area around them it is tinged with a vivid, bloody red. The camera follows the red up the side of an altar, where blood spills down and into the flooded chamber below.

On that altar lies Iosef. A dark haired man decked in near pristine holy robes, laying flat on his back atop the stone altar in an area that the game will helpfully inform you post cutscene is called the Flooded Chapel. Iosef has no limbs to speak of, though his clothing, with its empty sleeves folded carefully over his chest and the trousers tied off at the legs, suggests that he once did. Pure white in color and adorned with gold thread and lavish gems of a deep amethyst hue, his garb suggests that he is a clergyman with a high position. Yet here he lies in a crumbling chapel, seemingly abandoned.

The only blemish to break the illusion of his pristine status is the wound in his side, which appears in game to be a large gash from which blood seems to flow in an endless, free stream down into the waters below the altar upon which he lies. As your character stands, the cutscene pans back to show the rest of the Flooded Chapel. Above Iosef’s altar is a headless statue of what seems to be a large, six armed creature draped in coarse fabric. Two of the arms grasp at either side of the altar, whilst the other four are raised to the heavens above and the hole you previously fell into the Flooded Chapel through.

Behind the statue, piles of corpses prove that you are but one of many who have been flung down below.

Here, the cutscene ends, and if the player lingers long enough, or interacts with Iosef, he has the following to say.

> “Hm? What’s this? You’ve your wits about you still? Ha.. [laughter that begins slow and builds up heartily, almost to the point of hysteria] hahaha…I see. You’re an unlucky one then. Not from around here, either. The name’s Iosef.

> “Well. I’ve no idea what nightmares have called you to Elpium, but you won’t survive here long as you are. Not to worry, I still have my uses. Venture forth, and bring me the echoes that linger in the blood of those above. I shall make them into a fine feast for you. A proper Hunter needs be fed, after all.”

If the character interacts with him again, the following dialogue triggers.

> “Oh? Yes, worried about going to face the night unarmed? Worry not. Surely you see the other gifts Nicehis has brought me. A great deal of them were better prepared than you, for all the good that it did them. See if you can’t find something you like.”

Iosef serves the same function as the Doll in Bloodborne, turning blood echoes into power to fuel your characters level ups. The animation for this action is your character dipping their hand into the floe of blood that spills off Iosef’s altar and bringing it to their mouth, presumably in order to drink it. By feeding Iosef Blood Echoes, you therefore empower his own blood, which you can then consume to empower yourself. This suggests that in some way, Iosef is a catalyst for the power of blood.

Upon leveling up with Iosef for the first time, he says the following.

> “No need to be squeamish, come now and sup your fill. There is power in transfusions like this, don’t let anyone fool you.”

Further level ups with Iosef prompt one of two dialogues.

> “Very well, you may Partake.”

> ”Partake in thy sacrament, for your own well-being.”

For now, Iosef’s origin, his relationship to Nicehis, and a large amount of his lore remains a mystery, but this first string of early interactions proves promising.

Bloodborne2Updates will update when further information is available.

Do female Legbas exist? Likewise, would St. Benoît Joseph Labre be a Legba-like figure in your opinion? What of St. Drogo (a Legba, Kouzen, or Gede figure)? On a different note, does St. Francis of Assisi have a corresponding lwa? What about the different baby Jesus images like the Divine Child Jesus, the Holy Infant of Atocha, Prague, etc.? And considering how rare St. Ulrich images are, is St. Brendan the Navigator or St. Nicholas of the Sea used for Agwé by many in the American diaspora?

No, female Legbas are not present. Legba comes with his wife, who is by the gate with him. Labre and Drogo are not saints found within Haiti, really. Haitian Catholicism and Ginen are very specific for a variety of reasons.

St Francis is usually venerated only in church, but specific lakou may have different relationships. I know of one lakou near Leogane who have a unique relationship with St Francis.

Images of the child Jesus are not used super often. The infant of Atocha walks with Jean Petwo in the lineage I am initiated in.

No, those saints are not given to Agwe as they have no real presence in Haiti. If people want an image of a saint and can't find a paper one easily, they'll paint them or commission them.
