On this day:

MERMAID SIGHTING

On June 15, 1608, navigator Henry Hudson, sailing through a Russian arctic archipelago, sighted a mermaid. "[S]he was close to the ship's side, looking earnestly upon the men," he wrote. After the sea flipped her over, he saw that her "breasts were like a woman's ... her body as big as one of us; her skin very white; and long haire... of colour blacke ... the tayle of a Porposse, and speckled like a Macrell.”

Christopher Columbus spotted three mermaids in the Caribbean, in 1493. Anchored in an island cove, he recounted the day's earlier adventure: "[T]hree sirens... came up very high out of the sea: but they were not as beautiful as they are painted..." Columbus also reported mermaids off the coast of Guinea, Africa.

In 1614, in the West Indies, explorer John Smith, spying a young woman in the water, began to "feel the first pains of love" when he noticed that "from the waist the woman gave way to the fish ... and her long green hair... [was] by no means unattractive."

In 1610, in Newfoundland waters, Captain Whitbourne and his servant, Hawkridge, saw a sea creature with the face of a woman swimming toward them. "[A]nd the same creature did put both his hands on the side of the Boate, and did strive to come in ..." whereupon Hawkridge clobbered it on the head, and it sank beneath the water.

In 1917, the Leonidas, sailing from America to France, was accompanied by a mermaid for six hours. It continually rose up for fifteen minutes at a time to inspect the ship, and then dove under the vessel to reappear on the other side.

In 1937, in India, a crowd watched a merman, dumped from a fisherman's net, wiggle back across the beach and swim away.

Eva Leonor Smith Riley

Cw: use of a slur, mentions of suicide

For oc names i go with how the parents would name them given the society they live in and vibe. Eva was no different.

Eva gets two lastnames because of naming conventions in mexico, so its her father's surname followed by mother's maiden name.

So first name and middle name:

Eva: is the latin spelling of the hebrew words Chava/Hava meaning life or life giver.

While i could lie and say Eva’s name was chosen of the symbolism that she helps Tommy heal and grow into a better man, she is named Eva after Evita Peron, first lady of Argentina who after her dictator husband was overthrown.

She was rather influentian and there was a myth taht where her body was hidden(it was exhumed and stolen) flowers would appear there.

Eva's name also comes from a 1917 femme fatale played by Mimi Derba in La Tigeresa named Eva who pretended to be a poor woman to win the heart of a lower class man and then broke up with him, faked her death which drove him insane only for her (now married to a rich man) to visit the institution he was in for charity and he kills her in his mad rage.

While the femme fatale is more in line with s1 Grace , Eva reveals in Of Gods and Witches she seduced the president's son and when he discovered his father was gonna have her assassinated while under house arrest he commits suicide ala Antigone and Haemon. This all happened while she was secretly dating her best friend and cousin’s secret girlfriend, Antonia.

But in the fic, Eva is named Eva because her mother, Isabel, schemed to make herself go into labor in the Sistine Chapel(right ubder God's Creation of Eve)to get the current Pope (Benedict XV) attend the baptism and his successor the future Pope Pius XI to be her godfather because the archbishop of mexico refused to go to her family's estate to baptize Eva’s older brother Gabriel.

Leonor: is the portuguese and spanish variant of Eleanor meaning Torch, light and/or sun ray.

Leonor was the name of her great grandmother who descends from Emperor Moctezuma, the last Aztec ruler, through his son Juan Moctezuma who was made a spanish noble. Leonor Moctezuma, Eva’s great grandmother, was born to a member of the Moctezuma family and a Nahua secretary in Mexico City.

Last Names:

Smith: anglo-saxon 'to hit or strike' possibly related to a person who was a metal worker.

So Smith is a common English surname and the surname of a romani traveller king named Absalom Smith in the early 19th century. He died in 1826 with the title of king of the gypsies (please excuse the slur)and had been elected so in the early 19th century according to the Mamchester Times. He was a fiddler and his daughter Beatte Smith was so beautiful there is portrait of her in Belvoir Castle, Manchester.

The Smiths were apparently an important Romani family like the Boswells who the Shelbys claim descendance from and the Welsh Romani woman Tommy seeks to see if the sapphire was cursed is also a Boswell. Eva was originally going to be a Boswell but that would've made her a relative of Tommy and i decided against it.

Riley: anglicized irish last name meaning rye-clearing.

So Eva’s grandfather Patrick Riley was an Irish immigrant and oc nephew to John Patrick Riley, Captain of the Saint Patrick's Battalion who were composed Catholic Irish, Scotsmen. Freed slaves and men of color tired of the racism they dealt with in the US and defected to Mexico right before the Mexican American War in the 1850s.

John Riley immigrated to the US due to the Great Famine and despute being known for his great strength of character and morality died alone and penniless in Veracruz as the torture and defeat of his battalion at the hands of the americans left him with very severe trauma and teh letters D on both sides of his face branded onto his skin for desertion even though he deserted before the war.

It provides as to why Eva is of mixed race and how her grandmother who is old money ended up having red haired children and show how diverse Mexico actually is

it’s inevitable, really

by FrogInATutu

There are some facts that William Schofield knows to be true.

One of these facts is that in war you’ll see injury and death. It’s just what happens, but is always surprising nonetheless.

Another is that Schofield is smitten for Blake. That, though, is not nearly as surprising. Tom’s a good looking bloke. Well, objectively, alright?!

Elder Watson Diggs (December 23, 1883 -November 8, 1947) was an educator by training. In 1911, he was among the principal founders of Kappa Alpha Psi, an organization for which he served as Grand Polemarch for the first six years of its existence. In 1925, he received a Laurel Wreath Award, which is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of the fraternity. He was born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, an agricultural town in the western part of the state. He was the eldest son of Cornelia Diggs; little is known about his father. With his brother, Ellis, and sister, Essie, he was raised in nearby Madisonville, Kentucky. He attended Indiana State Normal School in Terre Haute, Indiana (now Indiana State University), graduating in 1908. The following year, he enrolled at Howard University and pursued graduate studies in education. It was here that, in 1910, he met Byron Kenneth Armstrong. During the spring of 1910, Armstrong had been visited by his cousin, Irven Armstrong, who was a student at Indiana University and promoted its virtues. In 1917, he resigned to enter the United States' first Officer's Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. One of the first members of Kappa Alpha Psi to join the armed forces, he served with the 368th Infantry. The unit is credited with participating in the Battle of Argonne Forest in France during the fall of 1918. The Allied victory along the western front effectively brought the war to a close. After the war, he became a captain in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. In 1921, he returned to the State of Indiana and sought work as a teacher at Indianapolis Public School #42. He served as a teacher and principal for 26 years. He married Clara Bell Smith (1912-1913), a public school teacher; married Elizabeth Byrd (1916-?); Lydia Diggs (?-1947). His cousin, Lucy Diggs Slowe, was a Founder of Alpha Kappa Alpha. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #kappaalphapsi https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmg0PvxLgeQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
