#shoutout to nina for finding the second one 🫡

[yrsonpurpose]

Can you help? You have 20 thousand more followers than me I’m sure and I could do with some help finding a couple of fics? Would you mind publishing my ask if it isn’t too much trouble? 🙈👉🏻👈🏻 Or maybe you know what they are?

1st one is a fic I read where Alex is fake dating Bea and he and Henry fall for each other

And the 2nd is Alex is a tattooist and Henry goes to him secretly to get tattoos, one of which is a bee for Bea… Alex doesn’t recognise him at first but then realises who he is.

Any help from anyone would be great.. I’ve tried searching for them again but the FirstPrince fandom writes so many fic, I can’t seem to see them. But I also understand if you don’t want to publish this. 🙂

heyy! i thinkkkk these are the ones you're looking for: first one is here. second one is here.

I like making characters of mine members of lesser known ethnic groups, as I've always loved learning more about different cultures, but finding good sources of information about said ethnic groups can often be a bit of a challenge. Websites are sparse, and often times a large chunk of them just aren't very useful. In general, the rule I usually go by is "If it looks like its graphic design hasn't been changed since the year 2009, it's good" and I have indeed found some great ones using that strategy over the years, but my favourite has to be the one I ran across just earlier today. It was a blog created for a school project from an obvious stock template by an extremely earnest 12 year old Peruvian girl named Nina who was very excited to share fun facts about her Aymara culture and how it's changed from ancient times all the way to the present year of 2012. The second I read her list of sources and saw something like

Bibliography:

*a book that's clearly just her school history textbook*

*another book which 100% another school history textbook*

"My grandpa"

She had me sold.

The rest of it's pretty fun, most of the facts provided are fairly basic (as I said this was clearly a 7th grade class project) but it was genuinely interesting hearing some firsthand stories from her aforementioned grandpa and a few other family members.

I'm not gonna link this particular site, as it has some fairly personal details and family photos included that make it not feel right for me to spread around, but I do implore you to look for similar sites if you're at all interested in the history/mythology of smaller cultures, you might just strike gold.

Anyways shoutouts to you Nina, wherever you might be 11 years in the future. I hope your grandpa's doing well, and that you still carry a bit of that same enthusiasm for your culture as you had as a kid.

Godspeed 🫡
