the reason america so often feels undemocratic is because it was never designed to be any sort of real democracy

i trapped myself into doing history research but i'm just gonna handwave a bunch of stuff because alternative universe

first and most important; the harrington family is british and royal enough to have a position with power and money to throw around, probably through some carefully planned marriages

they moved to france either for the absolute monarchy they had going on (britain grew increasingly parliamentarian, see: act of union in 1707) or because they wanted to remain catholic (see: english reformation during 16th century)

there was a french trading post established in indiana in 1673 and fort ouiatenon (first fortified european settlement) was built in 1717

thing is england and france has a really complicated history and also i have no idea where anything in indiana is so handwaving!

because the harrington family has to move from england to france in the 1500s/1600s and get established enough to then help with the colonisation in the late 1600s

...i got really attached to the idea of steve being born in the 1600s/17th century at one point, i don't know why. his name is probably like étienne stephen harrington which is just the same name twice in different languages. firstly stephen -> stephanos which means "wreath, crown, reward, honor, renown, fame" which fits what his family is going for, secondly, saint stephen is the first martyr of christianity. he was stoned to death.

anyway now that all that is set up

harrington family is trying to establish a settlement in what later becomes hawkins, indiana. they have wealth and power and an heir that they brought with them from france. but after the house got built and they got settled in, there was a lot more for them to do than expected.

slavery in indiana started with the french rule so. guess what the harrington family had. which is another reason steve never saw anyone if they were racist and didn't want their pure son interacting with anyone with different skin. steve has absolutely no prejudices because they never actually told him this, and he's really fucking lonely.

steve was 15 the last time he saw his parents, or anyone. they left for some reason or another and never returned. either they settled somewhere else or they got sick or murdered. maybe they returned to france and then were unable to get back to the colonies. i literally do not care

realistically, they must have left someone in charge to take care of the house and their son, but i assume they left after enough time passed without their employers coming back. not like steve was gonna do anything. don't ask why they never approached him to question him.

steve stopped ageing around 19, so a few years there something must have happened to the house. a curse, a spell, weird dimension stuff, who knows.

the house is frozen in time basically. but new people who enter aren't affected. steve would start ageing normally if he left.

idk i'm still figuring the whole magic house thing out. i don't even know what kind of house it is for it to be historically accurate. it's a european style house because i say so tho.

i would love for this to be historically accurate but i can't process the wikipedia articles enough and also i feel like most of it would fall apart oops

My unpopular opinion abt the new Castlevania series ig is that I just don't have any care or sympathy for these little church goons that they were trying to humanize this time around... Like Olrox revenge kill go off, I watch u kill that boys mom minute 1 but I'm still in ur corner bbygirl! I see ur thru line.

But then his little shitty church bf sanctioning and standing by all the actions of the church and also we don't talk about the homophobia he's supporting while also being gay and also sleeping w a man his church would have (and did) sanctioned the genocide of several times over... I'm supposed to think the way he shut Olrox down was anything worth feeling bad for, I just rolled my eyes at his self righteousness. Walk away from that man, Olrox!! We saw where this manic Christian love leads, and it's what ur Abbott did (who I also don't give 1 fuck about him or his white xtian guilt especially after That LOL)

I guess I can tentatively respect that the church guard's storyline is gonna potentially be about deprogramming him, but I hate that they seemed to be posing him as correct in accusing Olrox of having no soul, when we as the viewer know it was an act of love that he didn't think he was capable anymore, after what was done to him at the hands of ppl that the church guard. To me all i felt was the heartache from his POV so common in these communities where u thought you have a Good Christian that saw you, but he still sees you as the monolith of his imaginary enemy the second push comes to shove, even though your actions have shown again and again that there's nuance to be had

The 1791 Haitian Revolution of Black Slaves

Check out the newest LOST IN HISTORY blog post!

Haitian Black Slaves revolt against French control in 1791 The Haitian Revolution was the largest, most successful slave rebellion in the Western World. Black slaves initiated a rebellion in 1791 and by 1803, they’d ended not just slavery, but achieved independence over French colonial rule. Ironically, it was influenced by the French Revolution of 1789. This had brought forth new concepts of…

was thinking about this

To be in "public", you must be a consumer. Or a laborer.

About control of peoples' movement in space/place. Since the beginning.

"Vagrancy" of 1830s-onward Britain, people criminalized for being outside without being a laborer.

Breaking laws resulted in being sentenced to coerced debtor/convict labor. Coinciding with the 1830-ish climax of the Industrial Revolution and the land enclosure acts, the "Workhouse Act" aka "Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834" forced poor people to work for a minimum number of hours every day. The major expansion of the "Vagrancy Act" of 1838 made "joblessness" a crime and enhanced its punishment. (Coincidentally, the law's date of royal assent was 27 July 1838, just 5 days before the British government was scheduled to allow fuller emancipation of its technical legal abolition of slavery in the British Caribbean on 1 August 1838.)

"Vagrancy" of 1860s-onward United States, people criminalized for being outside while Black.

Widespread emancipation after slavery abolition in 1865 rapidly followed by the outlawing of loitering which de facto outlawed existing as Black in public. Inability to afford fines results in being sentenced to forced labor by working on chain gangs or prisons farms, some built atop plantations.

---

"Vagrancy" of 1870s-onward across empires, people criminalized for being outside while being "foreign" and also being poor generally.

Especially from 1880-ish to 1918-ish, this was an age of widespread mass movement of peoples due to mass poverty and famine induced by global colonial extraction and "market expansion", as agricultural "revolutions" of monoculture/cash crop extraction resulted in ecological degradation. This coincides with and is facilitated by new railroads and telegraphs, leading to imperial implementation or expansion of identity documents, strict work contracts, passports, immigration surveillance, and border checkpoints.

All of this in just a few short years: In 1877, British administrators in India develop what would become the Henry Classification System of taking and keeping fingerprints for use in binding colonial Indians to legal contracts. That same year during the 1877 Great Railroad Strike, and in response to white anxiety about Black residents coming to the city during Great Migration, Chicago's policing institutions exponentially expand surveillance and pioneer "intelligence card" registers for tracking labor union organizing and Black movement, as Chicago's experiments become adopted by US military and expanded nationwide, later used by US forces monitoring dissent in colonial Philippines and Cuba. Japan based its 1880 Penal Code anti-vagrancy statutes on French models, and introduced "koseki" register to track poor/vagrant domestic citizens as Tokyo's Governor Matsuda segregates classes, and the nation introduces "modern police forces". In 1882, the United States passes the Chinese Exclusion Act. In 1884, the Ottoman government enacts major "Passport Nizamnamesi" legislation requiring passports. In 1885, during the "Tacoma riot" or "expulsion", a mob of hundreds of white residents rounded up all of the city's Chinese residents, marched them to the train station, kicked them out of the city, and burned down the Chinese neighborhood, introducing what is called "the Tacoma method".

Punished for being Chinese in San Francisco. Punished for being Korean in Japan. Punished for crossing Ottoman borders without correct paperwork. Arrested for whatever, then sent to do convict labor. A poor person in the Punjab, starving during a catastrophic famine, might be coerced into a work contract by British authorities. They will have to travel, shipped off to build a railroad in British Kenya. But now they have to work. Now they are bound. They will be punished for being Punjabi and trying to walk away from Britain's tea plantations in Assam or Britain's rubber plantations in Malaya.

---

"Vagrancy" amidst all of this, people also criminalized for being outside while "unsightly" and merely even superficially appearing to be poor. San Francisco introduced the notorious "ugly law" in 1867, making it illegal for "any person, who is diseased, maimed, mutilated or deformed in any way, so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object, to expose himself or herself to public view". Today, if you walk into a building looking a little "weird" (poor, Black, ill, disabled, etc.) or carrying a small backpack, you are given seething spiteful glares and asked to leave.

"Vagrancy" everywhere in the United States, a combination of all of the above. De facto criminalized for simply going for a stroll without downloading the coffee shop's exclusive menu app. "Vagrancy", since at least early nineteenth century Europe. About the control of movement through and access to space/place. Concretizing and weaponizing caste, corralling people, anchoring them in place (de facto confinement), extracting their wealth/labor.
