My designs for (a bunch of)the Pjo/Hoo characters

@peachyblkdemonslayer @leo-thecactus @moonage-gaydream @cottoncandyspikes @c0tt0n-c4ndy-sw1rlz @cottoncandyteeth @nogender-onlystars @genderfluid-bat @insomniac-jay @julieemarine @floof-ghostie @agrebel18 @desi-pluto @spnandmarvelrunmylife @edityrhometown @rashadisback @adorkfromnewyork @writtenletterstotheworld @templarhalo

Percy:Afrolatina(half dominican on Sally's side but full black) and a trans woman who's fully physically transitioned,not medically but via magic similar to ambrosia and nectar called metamorphose,which is food that has been blessed by Aphrodite to give the eater their dream apperance.Curvy and busty not for thrist reasons but because all my transfem friends have that's what they want for themselves when they go on estrogen and i wanna make irl trans women happy with this hc.Still muscular,6' and with her black hair and sea green eyes but also your usual black features(dark brown skin,a strong nose and full lips),dyes her formely gray streak that's naturally faded to white sea blue to not raise questions while in the mortal wold and her hair goes to her hips and she wears it in it's natural style and that makes it look like waves.The best way i can describe her fashion sense is 'femme skater girl'

Sally:Afro-dominican with the looks you'd expect from a black latina woman but remains with her sea color changing eyes.Stud(black butch lesbian)and absolutely radiates Mamí vibes,complete with a mom bod

Grover:Blasian(African-American + indian).A perfect mix between both sides of his heritage,with rich brown skin,dark brown eyes,a hooked nose and black dreads.Has the same sense of style and build as in canon but actually needs those crutches because of a disability in his legs

Annabeth:Transmasc he/him butch lesbian who's egg cracked thanks to and at the same time as Percy's.Works out a lot to be buff for gender euphoria and has an undercut,owl wing shaped top surgery scars and no streak in her hair as it faded fully due to being blonde.Dresses like a 90s tomboy

Clarisse:Pretty much the same but he's also half black and therefore has light brown skin and his brown hair is naturally kinky and he keeps it at chin length with chopping it off with a knife whenever it grows past that(took Piper's choppy look and gave it to him because it's not culturally insensitive that way).Same identity and aesthetic as Annabeth but with more edge to it like t-shirts with violent and crude graphics

Silena:I go with the fandom's muslim hc and also hc that all her hijabs have been a pastel color and after getting to Camp Half Blood,she was given magic ones that never come off.Black-french with almost black skin,brown eyes and burn scars from the acid incident that she survived in my verse.Peak pastel femme

Thalia:Black/white mixed and looks like a girl version of Zeus,not unlike Percy with Poseidon.Has her canon lithe build and electric blue eyes but her hair is locs(same length as usual though)and she's darkskinned with strong features.Trans girl who took metamorphose as a gift from Persephone like Percy(which is the reason for her chosen full name,as a thank you to her)but the only effects it had on her was giving her a muffin top and a small chest because she's butch.Goth punk like in canon

Nico:Black-italian trans boy.Darkskin but lighter than Percy and Thalia and noticably more delicate features than them and has an afro and an average build with top surgery scars-He was the third and final one to be gifted metamorphose by his stepmom and that's where he got them from,no surgery needed(it also added 2 inches to his height).Goth with but a gnc twist thanks Percy and Hazel's influence.Small note i'd like to share:Persephone asked Sally about the Big Three Kids' favorite foods and the metamorphose's ended up being blue pancakes,a double cheeseburger and a box of 10 piece McNuggets

Bianca:Black-italian with medium skin,similar facial features to Nico and her single braid is instead a box braid low ponytail.Light academia(but actually reads).Still dead sadly but everyone thinks fondly of and speaks highly of her

Rachel:Nigerian-american trans girl.Still a green eyed redhead but with a very strong face,extremely dark skin and wears her hair in it's naturally big and poofy state.Fat because of her estrogen and her fashion sense matches her eccentric artist personality

Jason:Black/white mixed and it's easy to tell by looking at him to go with him and Thalia being opposites.Thick and curly dirty blonde hair,brown eyes and light brown skin.Nerdy jock as always

Piper:Long straight black hair that she keeps down,skin that's darker than Jason's but lighter than the rest of the Big Three Kids',black eyes,monolids and a hooked nose.Butch with a love for sanrio and Percy got her into skating so she incorporates that into her wardrobe too(Butch4femme solidarity at it's finest).Aphrodite took the form of a cherokee woman when with Tristan so she's full native

Hazel:Honestly,literally just @/silima's version but i'll give a description for those who haven't seen their art:Darkskinned with classic black facial features and hip length black dreads.Trans girl who was given a gumbo metamorphose by Percy and Nico as a 'Welcome back to living' gift.Pastel but in a kidcore way

NAMJOON & TINA KIM

Working at a trauma center was a hassle. Tina saw thousands of people everyday coming in with tons of different accidents and sicknesses. Her job required her to be quick, get your patient done and go on to the next. Little did she know the center she worked at was a little more corrupt then she intentionally thought. Of course she noticed the patients lack of responses on her clipboard, even the injuries screamed gang related, but Tina Snow didn’t say much because at the end of the day she was getting paid hella good, maybe better than the other nurses for some reason but, as I’ve said. She minded her business and did what she was told. One night she went outside for fresh air after dealing with another stab wound, she tried to light her cigarette but her lighter wouldn’t work.

“Damnit” she smacked her teeth, throwing the lighter in the trash going to head back into her work place. She needed to quick smoking anyways, before she stepped into the sliding door she was yanked back, hand covering her mouth, cold metal pressing against her cheek. Forced into a car, to Kim Namjoon himself, bleeding out from his chest, both knees. He was going in and out of consciousness, barley holding on. “I- he needs to go to the center bringing me here doesn’t-” the gun was pressed harder into the back of her head and she had no choice but to work fast, him dying meant she’d died too. “Sir? Sir? I need you awake okay? Stay up for me” her hands tapping onto his cheeks lightly. Then going to work successfully, removing bullet from his shoulder.

“You married." the barely conscious black haired man asked. His heavy eyelids staring at the beautiful brown woman "No sir" barely paying attention to the very attractive mans words. how could she with a gun pressed against her neck?

“You will be." was the last thing he said before he was completely out.

SEOKJIN & JASMINE KIM

Jasmine found Seokjin suited up to fish in a pond that she was request to research on. Any little disruption would throw her current data off completely. Heels and lapcoat she speed walked over him. "You can't fish here sir. This is private property." the man didn't even give her a look as he hooked his fishing pole together. Why was he in a 3 piece suit fishing? "Sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave or I'll call the police." He let out a mocking laugh finally looking over his broad shoulder a thick dark eyebrow raised at her. "Call em."

Going to put the bait on hook. Placing down her clip board, she stomped to him now standing in front of him. "I'd be dammed if you mess my hard work just to fish and catch nothing but a sickly fi-" she slipped on the dock. SeokJins hand went to grab her dropping his fishing rod to grab her waist before she feel in the water. Both of their eyes scanning each other's faces.

"The only thing I've caught is you"

YOONGI & DIAMOND MIN

Diamond worked around money, tons of it. Being either the bills that’s were thrown at her every night or the people she worked with throughout the day. She was a maid at a 5 star hotel during the daytime and it helped her a lot with her sticky fingers, taking things from rich people and they probably wouldn’t notice and if they did they’d buy another one. Diamond had saw Yoongi come in the hotel, he was finer than wine, and they were eyeing each other. He called room service and asked for her specifically. Long story short they fucked like animals and Diamond wouldn’t lie and say he wasn’t a good lay.

In the morning, Diamond woke up before the sliver haired man and while putting her clothes back on she saw his wallet on the middle of the floor, a part in her body was begging her to take it and as always it won, Diamond stole Yoongis wallet, watch, and suitcase full of clothes, leaving him with only his cellphone. She gave 2,000 to her little sister, and splurged the rest on herself that’s did include Multiple bills , walking home one day from the club she noticed she was being followed, after making multiple twist and turns before she was grabbed fully and yanked into the a car.

Diamond was laid flat on her back rope tied under and above her breast, hands cuffed tightly together along with her knees and ankles snug with duck tape. After she ran away three times, tazed jungkook and stabbed yoongi this was honestly for everyone's safety. Yoongi sat across from her watching her still struggle against her restrains.

"You don't give up do you?" With one last huff she blew her hair out off her face breathing heavily. "All I want is for you to return my money, AND, my watch, AND the clothes you stole."

"Thrifted it and gave the money away to charity." staring up at the basement ceiling. Leaning forward in his chair put his elbows on his knees holding his chin. "So the BRAND new Birkin bag just showed up by coincidence?"

"A gift from a sugar daddy." yoongi snorted running a hand through his hair. “You’ll forever be in debt because you can’t keep your childishness.” eyes raking her tied up form.

“Fuck do you think you are? The Godfather?” She struggled against the rope but they weren’t coming off any time soon. “Worst”

HOSEOK AND QUINN JUNG

Hoseok had always came to the underground to watch Quinn dance. She moved way more smoothly than the other female dancer, yet elegantly. Always winning companions against older dancers. She was quirky, had a beautiful smile and she loved dancing. 17 year old Jung Hoseok watched Quinn Banks dance swiftly to Straight Outta Compton owning the older dancers. He'd come to the underground just to watch her dance battles.

When the older dancers bitterly threw her money at her she smugly counting the bills before shoving them into her bra. Grabbing her skateboard she was quick to start on her way. Not before turning to Hoseok titling her head giving him a big smile. "You' my number 1 fan or somethin' ?" His ears and face grew hot knowing that he'd been caught. “Y-you dance very nice." Smile growing wider she held out her hand "I'm Quinn."

"Hoseok... but you can call me Hobi." ears turning redder.

"Okay Hobi, let's go get some ramen. We can share a bowl."

JIMIN & ATHENA PARK

Athena did a lot of hustling growing up, to just keep her and her sister alive. She was a bill collector for a short period of time, then she worked at a trap house slapping rubber bands on every 1,000 dollars. As her little sister got older she got more and more independent, she got a job, a little apartment with her friends, she went to school on 4 year scholarship. Athena wasn’t needed anymore and didn’t know if she should be jealous or proud. She lived in their parents old house, and she sorta stopped hustling though she did still sell and make product.

She’d always wanted to be a chemical engineer and her father even made her a lab in their shed and she did use that to her advantage making her product there and it always sold out great, she did feel a little bad about selling but money was money. her usual deals were to rich people, who were functional crackheads meeting them outside of some high end club called ‘winter bear’, she’d sold 10 bags when she was stopped. “So you’re the little lady taking all our customers?” turning her back hand on her piece at her side, “I’ve been around for years baby, not my fault your huff puff ain’t’ selling.”

He took another step closer, making her pull her gun out from off her side. He put his hands up mockingly “We’re not here to hurt you Doll, we just want our years worth of money.” taking another step forward and she took one back. “Funny we’ve been trying to track you for a long time and now your works been sloppy. What’s eating that little head up lately Doll.”

Athena didn’t know if this guy was serious or just another weirdo junkie, he looked a little too put together to be a junkie, but she did sell to a lot of put together addicts. “Come closer I’ll put a bullet through your head, and leave you to rot.” the man literally moaned out loud, the deep growl bouncing off the walls of the alleyway. “Go on and shoot me Doll.” The thing was . . . She’s never actually used her gun before, usually weirdos scram when she showed her piece on her hip and now she’s definitely met her match. So she ran as fast as she could away from the guy. It's honestly a shame she’d got caught.

TAEHYUNG AND TIANA KIM

Tiana was born a star. That’s what she’d always been told, that she’d be someone who’d be adored by all. Growing up she was pushed constantly by her family to do almost anything, she participated in pageants, was a child model, sung almost all the solos in church choir. She was always eager to please her parents and knew that even as she’d grown to an adult they would want her to be something great in life and she loved them so much that she became exactly what they wanted her to be. Around the age of 19 she got a job at ‘Winter Bear’ a jazz club where older men showed up, sometimes men and women her age came to see her sing.

She got a lot of admirers, sending her flowers and gifts but there was alway one admirer who’s gifts weren’t so cheap. Pandora bracelets, new designer handbags, dresses that were her exact measurement, sexy underwear, more expensive jewelry, even money to get her nails done in the color they wanted. Tina couldn’t take these gifts but her mother could see it as a man with money and interest. Maybe he could help Tina become the star she was born to be, so she went to her father and told him about her discomfort and he called her ungrateful. With both of her parents against she caved and accepted the gifts.

Tiana was getting ready to go home after a long day of sweating on stage. Her throat was sore and her hair was sweated out, all she wanted was to get home and take a long bath. Turing to leave her dressing room she yelped finally noticing the man leaned on the door frame with a bouquet of roses in his hand. Holding a hand to her chest she glared "Are you outta' your mind?." His stare was heavy on her “I do apologize for startling you darling but it is my job to check in on my employees.”

“Oh! Mr.Kim! I apologize for being rude, I’ve been having a stressful couple of days.” Tina was leaving Seoul for good to live with her fathers side of the family in the states and do broadway. “You do know I’m leaving for the states in a couple days, I have a job waiting for me. So I guess I’m stressed about leaving my parents.”

Watching his thick eyebrows scrunch deeply at the mention of her leaving. “How long would you be gone for?” he asked, voice deeper than before, almost scaring her. “I don’t know, maybe I might. . . permanently stay there.” she shrugged. Ther we’re plenty of singers willing to work at Winter Bear. It was a list club after all and it paid well. Pulling her purse over her shoulder she started to head out the door when Taehyung stopped her “These are for you!”

He held out the bouquet of red roses and she looked up at him with a smile. “Thank you Mr.Kim, I’ll put them in water as soon as I get home.” bowing, she left him standing alone in her dressing room. Little did she know accepting those roses meant she would be bound to him forever.

ARIEL & JUNGKOOK JEON

Ariel sat in a large room with her older sister Athena at her side. In front of them her husband and 2 other men were seated in front of them. "What are you talking about Namjoon?" Athena asked.

"We think it'd be best if Ariel and Jungkook were wed. For her safety of course." While Athena was seething, Ariel was as quiet as a mouse eyes planted on the floor as she tried to detach herself from the situation at hand and ignore the burning stare of her future husband. She can cry later. "So brought me here to ask me for my sister's hand?"

"Well I don't have to ask you. Don't take my kindness for cheap. Jimin already signed her off into Jungkook's care." Ariel noticed her sister's hand reach into her purse, fingers gripping the bedazzled dagger tightly. "Jimin did what?"

"It's just business Doll, and you're always talking about how worried you are for her now that she's living on her own. Now she has jungkook!" Jimin grunted when the knife sliced him directly in the shoulder. Jumping over the table fist landing directly across namjoons cheek. Jungkook grabs her, pinning Athena to the table when the door bursts open and other men came into the room.

"Jungkook take Ariel out please." Jimin huffed when his wife landed another kick to his chest yelling about how she couldn't go anywhere with him. Jungkooks hand on the small of her back leading her out the room, while her sister's wails faded.

"I'm pretty sure this isn't the way you hoped to meet your husband." hand grabbing hers placing a kiss on it "I do promise to treat you greatly"

What would she tell her girlfriend?

Killing Me Softly: Deadly Code of Silence by Sister Souljah

Lyrics:

[Intro] "The First Amendment specifies specifically that Congress shall not-" "Come on, nigga! What they hell you talkin' about?" "That means you can say whatever the fuck you want!"

[Spoken: Sister Souljah] George Bush is a terrorist (Oh my, it's that woman again, Sister Souljah) He create terror in the minds, hearts and neighborhoods of black people (Oh God, she just doesn't shut up) White teachers'll never teach black children how to survive in America (She's always complaining, complaining, and complaining) Because black kids gotta compete against white kids (And she doesn't shut up, I wish she would just shut up!) And white people want their kids to win

[Verse One: Ice Cube] Sister Souljah, hold your fucking ground like I told ya Cause them crackers them try to run ya over Sitting in front of my house in a Nova On your walkie-talkie, why do you stalk me? Cause the jungle bunny's got money, that's not funny to the feds Cut my curl and I might grow dreads Taking heads, devil, step in the pulpit Cause non-violence: that's a bunch of bullshit In '92, Ice Cube come a little bit blacker Buck-buck-buck-buck-buck down the cracker See ya driving in your Cadillac-er Through South Central and I just might jack ya [Spoken: Sister Souljah] Yeah, that's right Cube, stand strong, brother Don't change, cause we gotta, we gotta look out for each other Watch that back, because you know they comin' after us But we keep 'em runnin'

[Verse Two: Sister Souljah] I don't care what you say or think Cause Sister Souljah got a right to speak I don't care how you feel or what Cause Sister Souljah don't give a fuck If my world's black and yours is white How the hell could we think alike? I've got big brown eyes so I can see And my mind don't play tricks on me

[Verse Three: Ice Cube] Cause you teach, freedom of speech As long as black men don't say Howard Beach Rodney King or Bensonhurst Tawana and Tasha, we ain't forgot ya Don't say Jew or Korean It's acting like a bad human bein' They'll try to call you a demon Don't know what the fuck Ice Cube is sayin' Get off my dick, I might spray you with the semen Me know the answer: come, come down Black Panther To the youth, an eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth, a gun for a gun A knife for a knife, and a life for a life, check it

[Spoken: Sister Souljah] America is always trying to strangle and silence black people America is the most violent country on the face of the earth! But they are always trying to stuff non-violence down the throats of African people Why America was violent in Kuwait, violent in Grenada Violent in Nicaragua, violent in Angola Violent in Vietnam, and violent in Korea! And America has been responsible for ALL forms of violent destruction Of African people throughout the entire world Why, in fact, America is even violent in America ...And as for my brother Cube Some think he's right, and some think he's wrong But Sister Souljah, I like him, cause I like 'em strong! Say what you want to say, you have the right!

[Ice Cube] Sister Souljah, Ice Cube, comin' fresh You didn't expect this one! [*Laughs*]

Remi Kabaka — Son of Africa (BBE)

Son of Africa by Remi Kabaka

“Kachunga!” This ebullient cry—a word that means creative, happy and sociable in a West African dialect— kicks up a hornet’s nest of trebly funk guitar, burbling keyboards and a knife-edge sharp horn section. It’s the lead-off track to Remi Kabaka’s Son of Africa, originally released in 1976 and long out-of-print, and a fitting introduction to this smoking amalgam of funk, afro-beat, jazz, pop and rock.

Kabaka was born in Ghana to Nigerian parents and spent his earliest years immersed in West Africa’s communal multi-drumming traditions. He moved to London as a teenager, however, and came into his own in that city’s rock scene. He played various kinds of percussion with Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones (including a live version of “Sympathy for the Devil”), Jimi Hendrix, Ginger Baker’s Air Force and Traffic (whose Steve Winwood plays guitar on the eponymous first track). Chris Blackwell of Island Records was enough of a fan to sign Kabaka for this album, but while Blackwell did a lot to make reggae ubiquitous in 1970s rock, he couldn’t do the same with Afrobeat. The record sold poorly and disappeared from circulation.

It's hard to see why. This was, of course, pre-Nigeria 1970 and the Fela revival, and western ears were simply not as accustomed to the polyrhythmic grooves coming out of Lagos. But even so, Son of Africa leans heavily on American funk and soul sounds. Anyone who had spent time with James Brown or Motown or classic Stax discs would find much that felt familiar. “New Reggae Funk,” even anticipates disco by a couple of years with its insinuating slink and airy falsetto. “Sure Thing” struts its consciousness funk like a lost Funkadelic cut, the blurt of brass bursting from slap-and-pop bass. The only cut that comes across as mildly exotic is the thunderous, “Aqueba Masaaba,” and it’s so irresistibly body-moving that you can’t imagine an objection.

You could spend a lot of time picking apart the threads of funk, Afrobeat, jazz and rock, trying to decide where Kabaka’s African heritage leaves off and his youth in swinging London kicks in, but in the end, it’s probably pointless. This album bangs all the way through, and if you missed it the first time, now’s your chance.

Little Jane Doe/ St. Louis Jane Doe

November 15, 2022

On February 28, 1983, two individuals entered an abandoned 24 unit red brick building located at 5635 Clemens Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. The two individuals found a headless body of an African-American child in the basement of the building.

The two individuals noticed the child’s body after lighting a cigarette. The child was found naked except for a yellow sweater, and had been laying on her stomach. Her hands had been bound behind her back with red and white nylon rope.

The victim was originally thought to have been working in sex work, but the police discovered when moving the body that she did not have developed breasts, which meant she had not gone through puberty yet.

It was soon discovered that the victim was not killed in the red brick building, as there was no blood traces found by or around the body. Authorities believed that the blood had been drained elsewhere. The Jane Doe’s stomach was also empty at the time of her death, and mold tests were conducted on her body, determining that she died within 5 days of her being discovered.

Jane Doe’s head had been severed cleanly off by a large blade, possibly a carving knife. It was estimated that she had been between the ages of 8 and 11 years old when she died. She had also been raped.

She wore a yellow, long sleeved V-neck sweater and had two coats of nail polish on her fingers, a red shade. Her head has never been found, but authorities were able to collect fingerprints, footprints and DNA from the body successfully.

Little Jane Doe had no distinct marks or deformities on her body, she was between 4′10 to 5′6 tall when alive. On December 2, 1983, Little Jane Doe was buried at Washington Park Cemetery, 10 months after her discovery.

The yellow sweater Jane Doe had been found wearing was sent to a psychic in Florida who wanted to touch it to see if she could determine anything about the case or child. However, the sweater was never returned and was assumed to be lost in the mail.

There have been 4 different girls who have been ruled out as being Little Jane Doe, as well as Northampton County Jane Doe from North Carolina.

Little Jane Doe was suggested as being a victim of Vernon Brown, who had murdered a young girl in a similar way. However, he was executed in 2005 and never confessed to murdering this Jane Doe.

Little Jane Doe’s body was exhumed by authorities in 2013 in order to get more forensic information. The remains however had been misplaced, along with other bodies in the Washington Park Cemetery, due to negligent cemetery records and her body was not found until mid June of that year.

Isotope tests were done to determine where Jane Doe likely lived. It was determined that Little Jane Doe likely lived her entire life in one of these southeastern states: Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee or North/South Carolina.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listed more mid-western and midatlantic states that Jane Doe could possibly have been from such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana or West Virginia.

After the exhumation took place, Jane Doe was re-interred at Calvary Cemetery in the Garden of Innocents, a section specifically created for unidentified individuals.

There was a documentary released about the case in September 2022, titled “Our Precious Hope Revisited: St. Louis’ Little Jane Doe.” In the documentary it determined that the two individuals who found Little Jane Doe in 1983 were only teenagers, and that the police actually did receive something back in the mail from the psychic (research didn’t specify whether it was the yellow sweater or not).

The director of the documentary also may have found the brand of sweater that Little Jane Doe could have been wearing. The autopsy report and mold reports conclude that she had been beaten, raped and then strangled before she had been decapitated.

There is still a huge possibility that St. Louis Little Jane Doe can be identified even without finding the head, as police successfully have DNA collected.

He was once the leader of a large cartel that worked with everyone, from a common street thug to other massive crime lords. No one is sure what changed him, only that the day an assassin was sent to him, he asked to join their group. Nikita is the definition of a gentle giant, once he was a tyrannical drug lord, now he is known by local civilians as the town baker/mechanic. He is a very loyal man, never doing anything to endanger his teammates, brothers, or sisters. This has caused him to clash with authority figures on more than one occasion. He is, in simplest terms, an Assassin that barely qualifies as an Assassin.

His hobbies are baking and messing with tech, he loves showing his creations to his teammates. He is also the one who modified all of their gauntlets to allow many modifications.

Has a strict sense of justice, but also the most lax in terms of rules.

Currently: Freelancer.

Hornet: Alive.

Current code name; Stinger.

Firefly: Gary Sanderson. Non-binary(will answer to him/he pronouns), British. Scout and assault. 18-25.

Appearance: A young British with a skinny figure. Their body was free from scars when they joined, gaining some as 7 years passed. One of which is a scar above their right eyebrow, where the forehead was ruptured during one of the first ops. Their hair is somewhere between ginger and dirty blond, not even they know what to call it. (Nikita has argued it is red, Ayzize says its blond). Does have green eyes with a few freckles, honestly just the baby of the group. At the time of the team's disbandment, they had gained a few more scars, one of which is across their throat that rendered them partially mute.

Equipment: Hidden blade and grappling hook on right. Wears blue assassin robes.

Bio: Firefly was on of the few to be born into the brotherhood. Having been trained unknowingly since childhood to become an Assassin, although they have mixed feelings about essentially being groomed. They met Yun-Hee as a teenager, which caused them to discover their family history. After a falling out, they chose to join the brotherhood anyway, but because they owed Yun-Hee, not because they had been raised for it. They still have mixed feeling about how they joined, and often questions fellow assassin's on their reasons for joining when they can. Although, they are always ready and willing to help, causing many to worry that they are too soft for this profession.

Gary picked up a drawing habit, often sketching their teammates or things that resemble them. After Queen's death, this habit only grew and Gary has an entire sketchbook dedicated to remembering the good times they had with her.

Has a strict sense of choice and freedom, but also one of the kindest assassins.

Currently: Task force 141.

Firefly: Alive.

Current code name; Roach.

I love studying history, because I like the comparison to then and now. How far we've come and how little we have come at the same time.

I am anti war, I'm anti violence, I'm for people, I would love to see peace and justice for all everywhere, not just in the USA.

I protested during the Black Lives Matter protests during the pandemic. I remember seeing posts of people on social media threatening to come with guns to threaten our lives for standing up for lives that have been lost.

I have been watching civil rights movies, and studying a lot lately on a whole bunch of topics from different decades.

I care about domestic issues and I care about foreign issues.

I care about issues from decades ago, years ago, months ago, days ago and so on.

It's very sad to study things during the Holocaust and the civil rights era. The people that fought for my justice and others sacrificed their time, their records and even their lives. It is sad to see that there are a lot of similarities from then and now.

It was very sad to read about Emmett Till, the civil rights movement of the 60s and be able to reflect it to the reality I live in.

There are a lot of black people that have been horrifically murdered and have seen no justice in the same ways Emmett Till will never receive justice.

The people that murdered him walked free and lived their lives while he never even got to see his 16th birthday or celebrate any milestones that he should have seen, as well as other black people that will never see the milestones everyone should live to see.

It is very disheartening to watch these civil rights movies, and read about things that happened back then and see the news now.

The ethnic cleansing in Africa, the genocide that isn't spoken about or brought awareness about.

A lot of black people that are murdered then and even now are usually cases that have no convictions. Acquitted, no indictments, cold cases, small sentences.

It's angering and sad that racism is rampant, murdering, hate crimes, hate, bigotry, no justice for people, genocide, famine, starvation, poverty.

The world and the people that live in it are sickening.

The famous Emmett Till pictures from 1955 look just like Kendrick Johnson, and others from the 21st century.

Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, George Floyd, Breoanna Taylor, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray,

There will always be a reason why monsters like Dylann Roof, James Holmes, Jared Loughner, Nikolas cruz and others go to prison alive. Whereas innocent black people, or black people that commit petty crimes never get to see another day again.

I included a photo of a man in New York City with a knife.

I was in New York City in that area, in that time. I was about a few blocks away just left that area when that happened, thankful I didn't have to witness any of that.

He had a kitchen knife, he was 51, he WAS in a very populated area, because it was New York City. Article says they pepper sprayed him a few times and it did nothing, so they shot him in the chest. Completely skipped tazing, shooting his arm or leg.

I will always remember that, and then when the Dylann roof murders happened and I saw him being led out of the church where he had just murdered 9 African Americans with a gun.

People that say racism isn't a problem or real anymore, or the 60s was a long time ago are just blind to the things happening here and in other countries.

SURE Jim Crow isn't around anymore, of course.

But bad things are still happening and being swept under the rug.

#blacklivesmatter #blm #asia #usa #racism #emmett till #Black Lives Matter #Asia says so

peaky blinders oc - jasmine grey

BASIC DESCRIPTION

Full Name: Jasmine Grey aka Artemus Kelly Nickname(s): Jas, Mr. Kelly (when disguised) Age: 24 (born on Sept. 15, 1894 in London, England) Ethnicity: 1⁄4 White English, ¾ African-descent Gender: Cisgender Woman Sexuality: Pansexual (Panromantic)

APPEARANCE (FC is Kat Graham)

Jas is a young woman who stands at 5'3" (1.6 m). In many ways, she physically takes after her mother, having light brown skin, dark green eyes, petite yet calloused fingers & a somewhat toned form with thick hips. She also inherited her father’s chin, lips & textured dark hair. Her braids end just above her shoulders. Her dress sleeves always stop after the elbow & have pockets, so she can keep her hands free. When disguised as a boy, she wears a white, long-sleeved shirt under a plain vest, dark pants, a hat to hide her hair & gloves to hide her dainty fingers. She always wears short boots, even under the skirt of her dresses.

PERSONALITY

Jas is an ambitious, resourceful & confident girl. She isn’t afraid to speak up on behalf of herself or others, though she will (very reluctantly) stay quiet if doing so manipulates events in her favor. She’s incredibly loyal, with a natural need to help others. Unfortunately for some, she is a vengeful person who holds grudges, and if she disagrees with someone on something, she’ll typically stand firm rather than compromise. These last few qualities, plus her tendency to form strong attachments with those closest to her, can easily turn things against her or in her favor.

BACKGROUND

She was born to Alexandra & John in England. Her parents had two sons, one who died young (Daniel) & another who was born several years before Jasmine (Jessie). They grew up in a decent middle-class household, as her mother was a former writer who taught a lot of people & her father was a conductor in the orchestra (note: neither of her parents were ever slaves, as her mom was of African-Irish descent & her dad was a Northern African-American born after the Civil War). Like her older brother, Jas was sent overseas to America, ultimately receiving her bachelor's at 21. During WWI, her father & brother were conscripted, leaving Jas & her mom to take care of things at home; they worked as a professor & a local nurse. The men survived largely due to the fact that they were part of the group of Black soldiers assigned to unload cargo, rather than fight on the front lines. Still, her father (who was already nearsighted) ended up with a condition that weakened his arms, while her brother found it difficult to adjust to life back in town. Jas ends up going to Birmingham when her brother, who supposedly went there to visit a friend, goes missing. After she finds him & sends him home, she spends time teaching the women & kids to read & defend themselves, all while disguised as a young man. & maybe sometimes it's her fault when bad people go missing.

SKILLS

(strengths)

Languages - she's literate & fluent in English. She also knows about two handfuls of words in Gaeilge (Modern Irish).

Self-Defense - her brother taught her to shoot, she knows the body well & some boys from her co-ed school taught her to use a knife in a few different ways.

Anger - this drives her about as much as love does.

(weaknesses)

Anger - sometimes her emotions rule her, overriding her brain.

Size - she's not very tall or really all that strong, either.

FIGHTING STYLE

Jas likes to fight her enemies as close up as possible. When it comes to taking down single enemies, she has no problem sneaking up & striking if possible. She secretly finds melee fighting exciting & there is no such thing as a “dirty trick” in her book–unless she’s agreed to an honorable duel (which rarely happens, if ever). Jasmine carries a pistol, but she dislikes guns, due to their inherent danger & accompanying loud noise.

HOBBIES

Collecting small knives & trinkets - some she sells, some she keeps for their aesthetic/sentimental value.

Dancing - Jas loves going dancing.

Sex - she’s careful about who she does it with, but she has no problem using it as an activity to help her relax.

Chameleon Street Film Review

Wendel B. Harris Jr.’s “Chameleon Street” is a unique personalized indie film based on a true story that defies the conventional norms you would expect from a film that was released in 1989. The film attempts to explore themes of identity, deception, and how that relates to William’s experiences in a semi comedic manor.

The beginning of the film starts with a white man questioning William in a holding cell. From the line “you intuit what another person needs,” we are presented with the warped chameleon like philosophy of William Dougles Street. Throughout the film, William slips into various roles from a doctor to a lawyer exploiting his ability to adapt and allure his way through life. A strength of the film lies in its ability to balance or juxtapose William’s personality with comedy and social commentary. During the scene when William is confronted by an ignorant white man who begins hitting on his wife whilst they are at restaurant, he refers to William as a “porch monkey.” However instead of fighting back with his hands, William outplays him by pointing out the white man’s lack of intellect and knowledge on the meaning of words before being knocked out by him. This scene highlights the exploration of race and class dynamics and how that plays a role within society, even during the late 80s and early 90s.

Throughout the film it becomes evident that William has a strange distain and obsessiveness with women. In reference to Melissa’s poetry William internally said that she wrote “such dumbass poetry.” Likewise, in reference to a woman William is interested in, he refers to her as “African Amazon.” Both statements represent the strange duality that William’s character can have in relation to women. Even with his daughter, when she asks him for a new toy, he just spray paints a barbie doll brown and says, “here a black barbie.” This illustrates his lack of interest or overall engagement with his daughter’s interests. Later in the film we are presented with a scene where he attempts to play a game with his daughter, he puts on a mask, grabs a knife, and begins slowly cutting himself while chanting “your daddy’s crazy...” This scene portrays William’s warped mind and psyche to play a game that could potentially harm him or at worst his daughter unintentionally.

The cinematography of the film is both bold and inventive. Its use of black and white visuals adds a timeless aesthetic to the overall narrative. Whilst also helping to frame and enhance the overall composition of the film. The soundtrack of the film blends elements of jazz and classical music that help bring a sense of atmosphere to the film. Furthermore, it also helps to enhance the film’s exploration of identity as it pertains to William.

In conclusion, Wendel B. Harris Jr.’s “Chameleon Street” is a unique film that explores complex issues and themes of identity, racial dynamics, and deception how that plays a reflective role in William’s chameleon like nature.

page 4 of my sketchbook.

In a magazine, I came across this picture and on it is a man rowing a boat filled with colourful flowers. When I saw the contrast between the man and the flowers, I knew I could use the image to visually communicate my narrative. In the picture, the man has on a brown vest and a white hat rowing a boat full of flowers. The man looks less colourful than the flowers on the boat. The contrast in the picture is what inspired me to use this picture to visually communicate my narrative. The man looks dull in his appearance and the flowers on the other hand look colourful and vibrant. Therefore, for my narrative, the man represents the older generation and the flowers represents the younger generation.

REFRENCE

Gaskell.N(2018) photography in India: a visual history from the 1850s to the present London, New York, Munich: Prestel.

It was painful, emotionally, tearing a page out of my magazine. After I was over it, with a knife cutter, I cut around just the man and the boat of flowers.

Another picture I used to visually communicate my narrative is a picture of three buildings I took when I was in Manchester.

This is a picture I used to visually communicate countries in the West, for example, the UK and USA. Same with the magazine picture, I used a knife cutter to isolate the building from the background. From there, I collage it in my sketchbook on top of woven piece of paper. The woven paper is significant to the foundation western countries are built on. It is intrinsic to them. However, Ghana is one of many African countries that tries and copy other countries like the UK and how it is run.

The way I decided to visually communicate how Ghana tries and copy western countries is with 3 coloured paper- red, yellow and green. I wove the three colours through the newspaper, to show how Ghana is trying to merges its identity to resemble countries in the West. As a result of this, the older generation have lost the ability to be authentic in the way they think.

I chose to weave with newspapers because to me Ghana's identity is so fragile and delicate just like the newspaper. I got the inspiration from the history of Ghana. Weaving is traditional practice in Ghana and it has been going on for 400 years. I was able to visually communicate this by cutting the newspaper up into 4 strands each strand representing 100 years.

Weaving with papers was very difficult. the papers were too loose and light to handle. If I was to do this again, I will use PVA glue to make the process much easier.

During a lesson in embroidery, I collected fabric from the fabric bin, fabric I knew I was going to use to visually communicate my narrative. Below is the fabric I collected.

With a pair of sisssors, I cut around the roses, collecting them individually and sown them together. To get this;

From there, with a sewing machine I connected the pieces of roses I have sown together and connected it with fabric that I have pin tucked.

The fabric that I pin tucked consist of yellow fabric as the main fabric and an additional red and green fabric stitched on top of it.

I have the building collage on top of the woven newspaper at the top of my sketchbook page. In the middle of my sketchbook is the cut out of the man which I have further developed by attaching fabric that I have pin tucked.

With everything in place, my sketchbook page visually communicates how the older generation, represented by the man, are building Ghana's identity based on what they see from other countries like the UK, as represented by the picture of the building and woven paper. This has obviously changed the way in which they think. The younger generation are the flowers. I have attached the flower to the boats and it shows how the younger generation are being graded to conform to practices that isn't intrinsically theirs. In Ghana many Children are suffering from identity disorder. This is because parent are now socialising their children according to western standards, as a result of that, many grow up with their minds split into two worlds.
