📍Cazales, Haiti via Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak

Polish Haitians are Haitian people of Polish descent, dating to the early 19th century. Polish Haitians are mixed race and often identified by such European features such as blonde or lighter and straighter hair, light eyes, and facial features. Prominent Polish communities such as Les Cayes and Cazale have descendants of surviving members of Napoleon's Polish Legionnaires which were forced into combat by Napoleon but later joined the Haitian slaves during the Haitian Revolution. Initially most Poles settled in Cazale, La Vallée-de-Jacmel, Fond-des-Blancs, La Baleine, Port-Salut and Saint-Jean-du-Sud, where they lived as peasants, along with their Haitian wives and families.

Round one: Otucha vs Fwomaj

(poll at the end)

Otucha (Polish)

[ɔˈtu.xa]

Translation: encouragement, uplift

Polish is an Indo-European language belonging to the Slavic branch. It’s spoken by 36,7 million people in Poland where it is the national language. It is written with a Latin alphabet due to church influence, adapted with the addition of nine letters (ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż) and removal of three (x, q, v).

Motivation: I just really really like the way it sounds tbh

Fwomaj (Haitian Creole)

[fwomaʒ]

Translation: Cheese

Haitian Creole is a French based Creole spoken by 11 million people in Haiti that emerged in the 17th and 18th century as a result of slave trade. Outside of 17th century French it has linguistic influences from a variety of languages, mostly West African ones including Wolof, Fon and Éwé but also Taino, the now extinct indigenous language spoken in Haiti before colonisation. It’s a national language and taught in most schools, as well as being the main language. Only 15% of Haitians are fluent in French, which is the second national language and has had a higher social status.

Motivation: Fwomaj comes from the French word fromage, and is spelled in a way that makes me laugh. Also cheese is a good food.

[historicxllexi]

my favourite random moment from polish history is when the polish soldiers, during the partition of poland by prussia, russia and austria were send to haiti by napoleon (who "granted" poland that, thanks to him, they will get their land back) to suppress the uprising organized by the slaves but poles and haitians developed a kinship and 400 poles stayed in haiti after the defeat of the french. also haitians gave said poles haitian citizenship

[riyaaaaaaaaaah]

so cruel of anyone to expect me to choose between any of these languages i literally need to learn them all

Duolingo Alternatives by Language

Disclaimer: I haven't used or tested all of them. All resources have different strengths, e.g. Drops being designed for vocabulary. They often aren't full alternatives for Duolingo or formal classes. I just wanted to compile resources for all languages on Duolingo to make the switch easier, especially for the less popular languages.

Feel free to also check out my collection of free textbooks

If you want a more detailed resource list for any of these languages (or perhaps one not listed here) you can send me an ask and I can see what I can do.

Sniffing the Caribbean: Elle’s Pirates Perfume List (2025)

Some of you might remember my post from last year. Since then, I’ve sampled more, obsessed further, and come to the conclusion that this list needed an update. Because this is what I do for fun, apparently.

This is all vibes-based and deeply unserious (except when it’s not), but it’s also the hill I will die on.

Elizabeth Swann: Okay, so the scents I've picked for her back then still fit well imo. Just switching them up into chronological order. She evolves so much over the trilogy, she deserves a scent arc.

For CotBP-Elizabeth, I’d suggest Cloon Keen’s Lá Bealtaine (Bergamot, Mandarin, Neroli, Pink Pepper, Angelica Seed, Angelica Root, Jasmine, Rose, Tuberose, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Amber, Musk, Cashmeran). Has the energy of someone dreaming about freedom but also knowing how to curtsy perfectly.

Then there's Juliette Has A Gun - Vanilla Vibes (Sea salt, natural vanilla absolute, orchid absolute, absolute brown musk, bezoin absolute, sandalwood, tonka bean). It's is a radiant, salty vanilla that smells like sun on your skin and a breeze in your hair. It's the girl on the brink of transformation.

If you want a more indie-leaning take: Death & Floral’s I could never stay long enough on the shore (sand, salty air, smoke, cold coastline). This one’s not as polished, and that’s kind of the point. It smells like she’s already got one foot in another world. (I think they're on hiatus rn, but you could always check r/IMAM's sunday swaps or r/IndieExchange on Reddit or something. Same goes for basically any other indie scent.)

DMC/AWE/Pirate King Elizabeth, however? She’d absolutely slay in something sharp, resinous, and dramatic. Enter: Beaufort’s Terror & Magnificence (birch tar, black pepper, saffron, incense, tobacco, papyrus, haitian vetiver, myrrh, labdanum, benzoin and pebbles). She’s weathered and commanding. Elizabeth in full Pirate King regalia would devour this.

Will Turner: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab - Asleep in the Deep (black plum, sea salt, opium tar accord, labdanum, and indigo benzoin)

Dense and dreamlike, pairs perfectly with Elizabeth’s Vanilla Vibes like shadow to her light. Feels almost like a premonition. The Dutchman waits.

Jack Sparrow: Give him anything rum-drenched and slightly unhinged. But if I had to name a signature scent, I’d pick Stranger Perfumery’s Cigar Rum (raisin, dried fruits (prune and cherry), rum absolute, mandarin, amber, tobacco, oakwood, vetiver, resins, labdanum absolute, seaweed absolute).

You could absolutely layer that with a dirt single note or Fantôme - Bune (damp subterranean air, nagarmotha, smooth cave walls, davana, a cold marble altar, & glittering green dragon scales) for authenticity lol.

Hector Barbossa: Still convinced the core vibe here is woody.

Solstice Scents - Headmaster (Apple, bourbon, oak, cedar, pipe tobacco, applewood, amber, spices) goes hard . That apple note layered over wood and spice? Perfect. Can't get more Barbossa than that.

But if you want something a bit uncanny: Whispered Myths (natural cambodian oud, cantaloupe, cedarwood, musk, honey, salvaged shipwreck) by Imaginary Authors. Yes, it has cantaloupe. No, I can’t explain why that works. This perfume smells like a half-forgotten treasure ship rotting sweetly in the sun, and Barbossa would 100% bottle that.

James Norrington: James, especially in his earlier form and later in AWE, is all restraint and clean lines. Thus, any light aquatic or clean scents work, so I’d choose something like Solstice Scent’s Gulf Breeze (Saltwater, sand, seashells, sea oats, rain, ambergris (vegan accord). A light marine scent with a wistful edge. This is a man who looks at the horizon (very sadly) and thinks of everything he can't say.

Maison Margiela's Sailing Day (aquatic, aldehydes, juniper, coriander, iris absolute, rose, red seaweed, ambergris, ambery wood) fits the bill too. A bit more straightforward than some of the others, but it's got that fresh-sea-air vibe.

If we’re talking clean scents, my personal fave is Ghost in the Shell (Yuzu, clean aldehydes, jasmine, musk, vinyl, ambergris) by Etat Libre d'Orange, so I'm just throwing that in here for good measure. Because this smells like sterile beauty and cool detachment. You get it.

For his Scruffington era, you could just let yourself inspire by the scents I've listed for Jack. (Make of that statement what you will.)

Cutler Beckett: *rubs hands together* Oh yes. My favorite little tyrant. Let’s talk.

So 1740 (bergamot, mugwort, patchouli, coriander, cardamom, cedar, birch, labdanum, leather, vanilla, elemi, helichrysum) by Histoires de Parfums is still my absolute holy grail of a Beckett scent. This smells like calculated charm, and a man who will smile while ruining you.

But wait - there's more.

I recently discovered Arquiste – Venice Rococo (black violet, blush rose, chamomile, dusty iris, subtle animalic amber) and that’s what a powdered wig should smell like. I'd say, layer it with anything I've listed here and you've got the perfect Beckett combo, but to me, that shit's so overpowering, so layering isn't really an option.

There's also Powdered Peruke (vintage powder, white rose, iris petals, musk (vegan), creamy vanilla, ambrette, hay, light woods, cashmere) by Dark Tales (and I honestly don't know what to think about the fact that I own not one. but TWO samples that make you smell like a fuckass wig. Call me crazy, idc). Anyway, this is the softer option, less “aggressive puff in the face,” more low-key elegance. And I guess the woody notes make it creamier which is nice.

Also, adding Commodity's Velvet (coconut water, roasted almonds, rose petals, vanilla, amber, and smoky musk) because it feels right. Imagine sipping brandy in your study while planning how to take over the seas. You get the vibe.

In my old post, I mentioned Gris Charnel for the tea angle, but honestly, after trying Indigo Smoke (lapsang souchong tea, mandarin orange, apricot, guaiac wood, incense and pine tar) by Arquiste I'm thinking this fits better. Not super deep into tea scents, but this one has the right smoky bitterness.

(Sorry, I'm making rocket science out of this for my blorbo from hell™️ - I'll stop here. Most of y’all probably don’t want to hear me go full scent autopsy on that cringefail man. Which I get. He's terrible.)

Davy Jones: Yeah, you still can't tell me this man - cursed squid creature - doesn't smell like Squid by Zoologist (Pink Pepper, Solar Salicylate, Incense, Black Ink Accord, Salty Accord, Opoponax, Ambergris, Benzoin, Musk). It's too on the nose.

BUT if you want something more tame (or like, a little less Zoologist), I gotchu. With the fishes and the dead by Death & Floral (Black squid ink and mile long oceans. Black ambergris, black labdanum absolute, salty ocean water, and black pits of stretched out emptiness) smells a bit similar imo, but it's less musky and I love the labdanum note in there. Plus, it's saltier. It's giving Davy Jones dramatically playing his organ in the best way.

Tia Dalma/Calypso: Still hunting for the perfect scent for her, especially in goddess form. But for human-form Tia Snake Oil (deep, rich, earthy notes swirled with vegetal musks, sugared vanilla bean, and dark spices) by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab fits?? Mysterious and dangerous without trying. She is the secret everyone pretends not to believe in.

Ian Mercer: Beaufort - Tonnerre (smoke, gunpowder, blood, brandy, sea spray and citrus)

Still don't think I need to elaborate. This is a violent scent. It opens with an explosion and never settles down.

Bonus Round: Fragrances That Just Fit the Vibe

Two cups of tea, a summer monsoon, me and you (Rain on cracked soil, wet creosote, a swelling monsoon, desert cedar, black tea) by Death + Floral. I weirdly associate this with the beginning of DMC. It smells like heartbreak in a storm, waiting at the altar while the sky falls.

Triton (Murky sea water, ambergris, ancient forest mosses, crushed ivy leaves, frankincense, resins, ozone, with a hint of citrus) by Fantôme for the maelstrom vibes.

Sydney Rock Pool (Australian sandalwood, coconut skin accord, driftwood note, frangipani, seaweed, ambermax and sea salt) by Arquiste has me thinking of Will and Elizabeth's little beach moment at the end of AWE.

Black Pearl by Dark Tales (milky coconut, sea air, sweet rum, tropical dried fruits, worn leather, sandalwood, black woods, cedarwood). I mean. It’s called Black Pearl. What more could you want.

Solstice Scents' Sea of Gray (Vanilla rain, saltwater, seaweed, ambergris (vegan), white amber, roasted seashells, white sandalwood, frangipani) is my all-time fave salty vanilla. Basically evokes the smell of a stormy sea.

Also, BPAL has a whole ass pirate themed collection called Fire Down Below. You might want to check that out.

That’s all (for now). Lmk if you’ve got additions or would like to hear my thoughts on characters that aren’t mentioned here!!

[sharp-silver4795]

Yup. I said it.

And it’s true!!! EJ is a runt. I’m gonna go into his size and such, then EJ’s story, ok? Ok.

Tiny Boi

In comparison to what he should be at this age, he’s smol.

But he’s also just very slowly developing.

It’s cuz he was malnourished for so long

Height/Weight

He’s roughly 205cm (6.75ft) tall and weighs between 120-145kg (270-315lbs)

However… he’s not supposed to

A demon at his age should be near 225cm (7.33ft) and be ranging between 135-150kg (300-330lbs)

Appendages

He only has 2 rows of teeth (top and bottom), but he should have the 2nd lower row.

He’s also missing another tongue. He should have 4.

Holes

He should have little “slits” between his shoulder and his torso. Almost at his armpits lol

Eyes

Yup. “Eyeless” Jack has eyes.

It’s because they’re almost backwards and filled with fluid. He’s missing one of his sets of eyelids.

He should have one set like ours, and one set 90° from ours (horizontal/vertical)

These are supposed to develop much sooner.

Thing is, they likely will never come in.

EJ is born (1612)

He old, old.

So, there is gonna be bits of history thrown here and there~

Basically, EJ was born to two females, so they instantly were like- KILL HIM! (Demon culture go brrr)

So, as Hydra does for all these cases, he gets transported to a random place in POLAND 🇵🇱

40 years of starving later, a ✨ Polish Hussar✨ Definitely spelled that wrong- finds him

Itty-bitty EJ is “raised” by this dude until…

Siege of Vienna (1863) ~ New Dad

Kikurik hears a damn child crying and confronts the man

After a small back and forth, the demon convinces him that it’s better for EJ to be raised by Kikurik.

There’s a catch though. EJ was starved the first 40 years of his life…

The man hadn’t known how to feed EJ, so he was cutting his hand open and letting EJ drink it.

It was no where NEAR enough for EJ to grow properly… so he was VERY malnourished

He never grew to correct size…

RUNNING TO FUCKING RUSSIA 🇷🇺

The alps are WAAAYYY too cold for lil EJ to live there

So, Kikurik takes him to an area underneath the Ural Mountains of Russia

Off to South America!

Eastern Europe was a hive mine of other demons that would easily chomp a lil EJ.

So, Kikurik took him to Western Europe, back to live with the Hassar.

However, the Hussar was dead.

So, he snuck EJ and himself on a Spanish ship…

Massacre the Spanish!!! 🇪🇸

In South America, specifically around Columbia, Spanish men were whipping natives and slaves!

EJ, being the equivalent of an 8 year old, was wandering while dad got them food

Since EJ isn’t white, he got slashed with a whip!

He runs to Kikurik, in pain and crying and all that, and he scolds Eashar for going out alone…

Then he kills 18 Spanish dudes.

TO AMERICA!!

In fear of the Spanish, Kikurik takes his boy to ‘Merika!! 🇺🇸

They stay in South Carolina for a hot minute, living off of random people they find.

At this point, Eashar’s like 10 in human terms and he kills and eats a kid whole gets found by a house slave.

Kikurik notices the mother about to hurt the kid and kills her

Both EJ and Kikurik could and can agree that slavery is gross.

The slave boy runs and so does Kikurik and Eashar

Michigan and the Civil War

Kikurik dies.

An “artifact” from Poland is found and sent to a man in Michigan, where they had been staying.

Kikurik traps EJ in a small cavern and is stabbed by the Red Rose Knife.

He dies, and his body becomes granite. The area is shielded from the human eye and will never be found.

The Myth and Legend

Kikurik is seen and a myth. He’s the son of Bezelba who lived in the mountains and not the plains.

He lived to see Sparta’s last stand, the rise of the Ottomans, Haitian independence, the Great War for Empire, the Black Plague, the Mongols, US independence, and their civil war.

The other part of his legend… is his runt.

The small thing that wasn’t worthy of his care… who didn’t deserve to live after being coddled by a human man…

The Runt is never named in the stories… he is characterized by the three scars across his chest from the Spanish whips…

omg I thought you knew this already but basically the polish soldiers napoleon sent to suppress the haitian revolution ended up siding with the rebelling slaves instead, so they became the only white people welcome there and the government officially classified them as noir (black)

HUH. interesting.
