Day 205

Today’s Asian character is Lea Bing from Barbie!

She is Macanese.

(Thanks to the person who suggested her! In case ya’ll didn’t know, Macau is an administrative district in China, but is considered its own ethnicity due to Macanese being a mix of Portuguese and Chinese blood!)

This isnt said to be rude it was just a major shock to hear the change when he spoke japanese ToT

[ID: A three-part comic. It shows a simple drawing of a man, and in the first part there is also an anthropomorphic bear.

The bear points to the man and says "[blank" wa makaojin desu" (the text is written in japanese)

Next, the man smiles and waves. He say's "Hello", and an arrow points to the speech bubble that reads "chinese accent"

Finally, the man points to himself and says "watashi wa [blank] desu". The letters are written in all capitals, with the syllables clearly written out. An arrow points to the speech bubble that reads "strongest american accent ever" /End ID]

Bat Family is Multilingual

While that seems like an obvious observation, not enough people talk about it, either on this site on anywhere else. But yeah, the Bats are a polyglot household. And for those that grew up speaking more than one language, we all know the mayhem that brings.

You know the "spanglish" and "portenglish" that we create? It's on another level at the Wayne residence. Conversations switch languages every sentence, for their dialect of gibberish to anyone outside of it.

For example, the conversation goes: English -> Spanish -> Swahili -> Aramaic -> Mandarin -> Portuguese -> Patuá (Macanese Patois) -> Romani -> Navajo -> Kryptonian -> Coptic -> Arabic -> Doric Greek (Greek from Sparta) -> Griko (Greek dialect in Italy) -> Cherokee -> Vietnamese -> Nahuatl -> Hebrew -> Back to English

Also, they switch languages depending on what they're cooking and proceed to shout it across the kitchen. The loudest The Latin ones and Arabic.

Even sign language is multilingual. The family has their version of it (created by Cass, which uses more body language and movements that show things and feelings instead of words), but they switch between American, British, French, New Zealand, Irish, Brazilian, Maritime, Hong Kong, Inuit, Ka'apor, and even Plains Indian SL on the daily basis. It's so varied that for an outsider, it just looks like their gesturing half the time.

And honestly, I think it all started with an angry Bruce learning French and German from Alfred.

Thoughts on Macau? I think he'd be an interesting character to think about

💛 MACAU + BRASIL 💚

I know the question was directed to Macau, but it will eventually end up being Maycentric lol since the vision I always bring is the characters' relationships and their interactions with my oc.

In this case, a member of the Portuguese-speaking community and we have a lot to talk about. However, I'm not an internationalist, I know a little about diplomacy and history as a simple hobby. I am not an authority figure.

🎲 MACAU:

My human name for him is Miguel da Silva Xavier/Chan Yee Cheung. Sometimes he may present himself as Miguel Chan. His nickname is Mimi and no one can stop me from calling him like this.

I remember someone a long, long time ago in the fandom giving him the fanon name "Xavier", so it got stuck in me for years, but it sounds better as a surname, in my opinion. So I preserved the Xavier, but as a surname, as a memory, for the sake of that good old-times fanon name, haha.

I baptized him Miguel, fits him better. Actually, Afonso did it, not me xd I am not the colonizer here. 💋

About the Cantonese name... I am not sure if it is correct, I spent so much time researching Cantonese names, and surnames, about important Macanese people, so I could have an idea of names... So, I am deeply sorry if I commited a mistake, if you are Cantonese/Macanese, feel free to correct me. I really tried my best 😔 uff

Lusofam (from Brazil's perspective)

Firstly, nowadays, Mayara barely sees Afonso as a father figure (perhaps due to a kind of resentment that she developed over time). Although yes, in other historical moments Portugal and Brazil have maintained a kind of relationship similar to that of parent-child, but it was a very troubled relationship. And, it's still a complicated relationship. Although, currently, they are on great terms and cooperate with each other. They've been rebuilding a kind of family relationship, but there are still many fights and disagreements; It is very complex to define lol

I know it will sound sad, but May is a bit isolated from Lusofam. Not for the same reasons as the Hispanic American countries, but due to the distance. And because she is not all aware of them.

Brazil is the only country that speaks Portuguese in the Americas. The other Portuguese speakers are too far away to create strong family ties with, although yes, she is interested in getting closer to the Lusofonia, and little by little the relationship between them is becoming closer.

Many of these countries and regions, however, had contact with her at some point during Maylore.

The closest lusófono Mayara feels to having a family relationship (besides Afonso) is Lívia (Angola). With whom I believe she created a true fraternal bond (Brazil was the first country to recognize the Independence of Angola, for example).

HISTORICAL TIES

(Chinese Tea plantation in the Jardim Botânico of Rio de Janeiro)

The first relations between Macau and Brazil took place through trade and architecture through Portugal during colonial times.

(Via: Terra de Santa Cruz)

Chinese Jesus Christ.

"They came in one of the ships that traveled the "Indian route", a trade route between Europe and Asia. The presence of these statues in Bahia may have been the result of a mercantile exchange between Brazil and China. Recôncavo's tobacco was appreciated in the East, yielded profits for the Bahian farmer and enriched the region.

One of the fans of Cachoeirense tobacco would have been the Chinese emperor Quianlong (1711-1799), fourth monarch of the Manchu Qing dynasty, who had relations with the Portuguese through Macau. It is likely that, in this circulation of goods and culture between the two regions, a Carmelite friar, a businessman or a high-ranking official from the Portuguese overseas Empire bought or exchanged the set of sculptures for tobacco, giving them as a gift to the Order. Terceira do Carmo." (Font: A Terra de Santa Cruz, FB)

Leão de Fô decorating a church located in João Pessoa, Paraíba.

This is a Chinese-looking statue. Sculpted by Macau and Goa artists in Brazil. This was a type of called "Arte Achinesada", "Chinese-looking art".

Church of Nossa Senhora do Ó de Sabara, Minas Gerais, with Chinese Pagoda style and Macanese-Goan Chinese-looking art, made by a Goan artist.

This type of art was very popular at the time, and inspired Brazilian artists as well.

The first Chinese Immigrants in Brazil came from Macau:

Now let's talk about what I HC that I believe it was the first personal contact between May and Mimi.

"In 1812, a boat from Macau with tea planters arrived in Rio de Janeiro." First image above in Historical Ties.

"The truth is that there is no consensus on the date. Nor, even, about whether this landing of immigrants was the first contact between China (always through Macau) and Brazil." (A/N: I believe not, due to the infos above).

"Leonor Diaz de Seabra, one of the Portuguese who has most studied the relationship between China and Brazil, points to 1810. The professor at the Department of Portuguese at the University of Macau (and at the Research Center for Luso-Asian Studies) argues that since 1810, tea cultivation began, in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, with plants imported from Macau and with 200 Chinese to work there."

(Font: PontoFinalMacau.Wordpress)

Macau wanted Brazil

"If there is no [...] scientific evidence in the Macau archives about the date of sending the ship "Vulcano" with farmers from Hebei to Rio de Janeiro, where they dedicated themselves to planting tea, there is no doubt that Macau has been trying to get closer to Brazil for a long time."

(Font: PontoFinalMacau.Wordpress)

This makes me think that, yes, Brazil and Macau may have met each other somewhere during the ~1810~, a little after the Portuguese Royal Court moved to Brazil. This is a HC, however.

(I DIDN'T GIVE THIS TITLE I JUST STOLE FROM THE SITE WHERE I GOT THE INFO OKAY I AM INNOCENT HERE DON'T LOOK AT ME)

CONCLUSION

AS YOU CAN SEE, there is too much to talk about them. But I had to stop here, because it is becoming too long. I would like to put more details. But you can research by yourself (if you understand Portuguese lol, or if I made another post like this, or to correct myself in the future(?).

Macau and Brazil, in my own views, do not have a fraternal bond (like Brazil and Angola, for example), however, this does not mean that the relations between these two are disposable. Quite the opposite.

Macau is a strategic point for closer ties with China, precisely because they have ties that unite them, which is the history with Portugal and the Portuguese language. (I may have read it in an article many years ago, but I don't remember it).

They do not necessarily need to see each other as siblings, but they can maintain a different relationship; like old acquaintances. Like...someone you have a fondness for based on your historical similarities!

Certainly. I don't see any problem with portraying Lusofam as a family in some type of AU, for example. Like, they all being siblings. I myself have already made drawings portraying May and Mimi as adopted siblings. And it is adorable to see them like this.

It is upon you. 🫵 This is just my vision on them. ☝️ I know I talked more about history and shit, but I think this way I could explain better my vision on them.

All the information I used has its fonts and credits.

(OC: Ciro)

I had originally conceived the idea for this guy earlier this month but I never got around to drawing him until now...

The reason why I created this guy was... a funny story. So, I had already conceived some ships involving the Department heads from Team 6x111's project To Hell and Back (BUTCHER VANITY and Cakey for Sarai Nassif, Ankou for James Vela) but I ended up having no idea on who to ship Micah Tien with. So I was like, screw it, I'm gonna make an OC for To Hell and Back... so now we have Ciro...

(As for the ship with Micah Tien herself, I would say that the relationship between the two is more casual, like yes there is some sexual and romantic chemistry between the two but sometimes the two are more like close friends if anything)

Some more stuff about Ciro:

-He works at a hotel in the Department of Greed. That's why he's dressed like a bellhop, he is one.

-Ciro was born on April 13th, 1980, and died on July 27th, 2004. (Though he's still alive in a way since he became a demon due to his sins in life)

-Ciro's main sin in life is that they weren't interested in actually working due to their lack of skills and would prefer to just get rich through gambling. They were good at gambling and had become a serious gambling addict towards the end of their life... so that's why they ended up in Greed.

-Ciro is Macanese (form Macau) and was specifically born in Taipa. Genetically, he comes from a Han Chinese, Portuguese, and Filipino background.

-His last name is spelt in Chinese characters as "金銀".

-Ciro frequently wears gloves because if someone shakes his bare hand, they are doomed to have something unlucky happen to them in the next 24 hours.

-Ciro is usually polite and rarely swears. Ironically, he used to swear a lot in his youth.

-Ciro's cause of death in their human life had to do with an incident where an elevator broke and fell into the ground. Like, DEEP underground.

-Ciro has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. He isn't necessarily obsessed with cleanliness, though; it's more like he's haunted by superstitious and blasphemous thoughts, and usually takes measures to avoid unlucky or otherwise "bad" outcomes, such as wearing gloves so that he doesn't end up jinxing people by shaking their hand. It contributed to his gambling addiction in life. Things have gotten better with therapy, though...

-Some of Ciro's favorite things include Japanese honeysuckles, card games, shiny objects, mint ice cream, and birdwatching.

-Some of Ciro's most disliked things include being overly sweaty, the numbers 4 and 13, and his own reflection (although that has to do more with superstitions than his own bodily image)

-Ciro didn't properly come out until sometime after he died and ended up in Greed. He used to just be seen as a tomboy and a troublemaker when he was younger, but an incident involving a childhood therapist led to him becoming deep in the closet and losing sight of who he was until after his death. Funny enough, he did end up with a better therapist in Greed. Confronting the trauma from that incident and finally rediscovering who he truly was brought a lot of tears.

-I themed his design a bit on snakes as a pun on "snake eyes", which is a losing roll in many dice games.

and it hurts extra hard because i’ve heard the so you’re a little bit this and that except it’s macanese and portuguese and indian and you can tell taash: i get that. and you can tell them it’s neat. not in an overly positive it’s only good way that erases the challenges that come from it. in a kind way that recognizes the unique perspectives that come from it. and then they make you shove taash in one of the mutually exclusive culture boxes
