okokok haitian shepards!! im totally in for it, i dont know much about haiti or the culture so i would love for you to tell everything

how would they celebrate holidays? any special days?

how would their culture show in their everyday life? any slang they would use?

what foods would be everyones favourite? who would cook everything or would thwy cook for themselves? (i need new recipes to try)

omg someone asking ME about haitian shepards?????joyous day it is yahoo!1!1!1!1!1 another win for me to rant LES GO

but anyways!!!

they generally celebrate holidays by getting together (either w their gang or w their actual like biological family) and cooking!!!maybe they even wear cultural clothes in the day!!!!well mostly angela but i mean curly and tim let her put make up on their face to celebrate it so awwwww yea baeby

in particular i feel like they celebrate mardi gras/kanaval, rara and fèt gede (pretty much day of the dead)

now fèt gede (and maybe rara????i think????) invilve haitian vodou so like i also hc them to dabble in that just a tad bit maybe???i feel like their grandma practiced it maybe even was a manbo and that kinda passed down onto their mom and in turn their mom taught them some things and they were interested in it, but then again i kinda flip flop between them being into vodou and them growing up christian so idk take this paragraph w a grain of salt

now!!!!! in their everyday life, they speak creole or add creole words into their sentences, they have a very small haitian accent, very small, u couldnt tell unless u were like born in haiti but its there, they also know a bit of french and maybe spanish too (i had a hc that their mom grew up w a lot of dominican friends so she grew up w a shit ton of specifically dominican spanish) so ig u could call the trilingual, they also use a shit ton of slang, like enough for their gang to use some of it and some of the ppl in school to as well, i cant think of SPECIFIC slangs rn but just know that they do, they also tend to make a lot of haitian food, like enough that they have to share w their gang if they wanna get rid if it, but its ok bc its rlly good!!!!

now i hc all of them to b artist in one way or another and i hc that their art is impacted by hatian culture, they have bright colors, its expressive etc etc

they also do a ton of haitian dances like konpa (now ur SUPPOSE to do it w a partner but i mean u could do it on ur own and still look cool!!!), so tim and curly arent rlly dancers BUT ANGELA IS and she ALSO dances merengue (not to b confused w the dominican version but that version looks cool too) and yanvalou

they flirt using creole i dont make the rules

some foods they make r haitian spaghetti and cornets, pikliz (not rlly a FOOD food but u can use it w food), blan manje, pate kòde, lambi, griot (thats literally their favorite mine too xoxo), plantain, doukonou, i dont remember what its specifically called but theres this haitian sausage thats rlly fucking big and a lil spicy and its rlly good and they love that too cause its so #good, and a bunch of other foods and deserts and drinks!!

generally, tim cooks for everyone but curly and angela love helping (all they do is fucking eat the food the lil rats)

hope this answered ur question thx for asking!!!

Dear Caribbean Autistic Teen,

“Our desire to stim? We use Soca, Bachata, Dancehall, and Salsa as a cover, allowing the rhythm to put out the fire we have in our brains. And thanks to our Caribbean cousins and siblings, we learn how to be style icons.”

If you grew up anything like me, you grew up in a household with family members constantly making fun of you for the smallest things. Whether it was how weird you looked while you focused, or how “odd” your fashion style was, or hell, I was once told I looked like a baby giraffe when I tried wearing high heels for the first time. Caribbean parents and relatives are no strangers when it comes to…

[normal-horoscopes]

not sure how to phrase this question so forgive me if the wording is awkward please but i think you mentioned voodoo is a closed practice once and i wanted to know who is the group to whom it belongs? like kabbalah is closed because its a jewish thing, and people who are not jewish should not do it. who's thing is voodoo?

Voodoo is an African Diasporic Religion unique to the black population of Louisiana. It is related to but distinct from it's relatives like Cuban Vodú, Hatian Vodou, and Dominican Vudú, all sequestered to their respective populations.

Also related is Hoodoo, also known as Rootwork, or Low Country Voodoo, which has its roots in the South Carolina Low-Country.

Do you ever get people telling you you're not Black because you're mixed? Cuz I get that all the time and it's really hurtful

It was more common when I was young, nowadays it only happens when someone's mad that I'm speaking from a black experience and I disagree with them 🤷‍♂️ but I think also as I've aged I've become less racially ambiguous, as there was a lot of confusion when I was little on exactly what my racial makeup was. Most people saw black-and-something but did not guess that white or native could be the possible mix, most people assumed I was afrolatina and I got a lot of 'dominican?' 'puerto rican?' 'some type of mexican?' guesses. Some people thought I was Filipino, Jamaican, Hatian, or Pacific Islander with black.

This is even weirder to me because most of these people knew my mom was white (passing) but in their minds it was easier for them to believe I was adopted by her and not that I came out of her uterus and shared 1/2 of her genes. So despite knowing my mother they still assumed I was 100% POC, but not 'BLACK black' because of being mixed.

Once I got a lot older and started high school the only kids that said I wasn't 'really' black were either kids from disadvantaged backgrounds that didn't like that I didn't speak AAVE at school and had a fairly well off family, or that were directly immigrated from Africa and so I was not 'African' to them. But high school kids find any little difference to be a major thing, and are like sharks with blood in the water if they sense a weakness. These kids also didn't like that my dad called himself black, despite often being darker than these kids, because he also did not speak AAVE when at my school and was usually coming from his administration job in a suit and tie, and so it was hard for them to understand that he knew better than they thought what they were going through because all they saw was the privilege and status he'd worked hard to beat the odds and achieve.

And then once I hit adulthood the only people who don't see me as black are, as said, either fellow black people who don't like that my black experience differs from their opinion in some way so they go for the low hanging fruit of my lighter skin tone and my mixed status (which, hey, not cool actually???) or racist people who roll in thinking they're gunna beat up [insert plausible race guess here] because I'm very clearly mixed. Clearly didn't stop my first job's (white!) boss from calling me a nigger and then following me around the next day after I told him not to call me that again saying 'it just means black and that's what you are so why are you mad'.

The fact of the matter is that if you have a direct link to slavery in the US, you're probably mixed. Regardless of your skin color. My dad is also mixed afronative and he's dark skinned and likely if he did a DNA test he'll find some form of european in there because slave masters were known for raping their house slaves. It's next to impossible to find someone with direct ties to slavery that is truly 100% black. That's just not the lived reality for how slaves were treated and then afterwards white people loved raping black girls and women and getting away with it because no one cared as long as it was a black person doing the suffering. Even nowadays it happens and it gets swept under the rug. My own father was raped by a white boy while he was a child and nothing ever happened to that kid but my dad gets to carry that trauma around with him for the rest of his life.

I don't think it's right to deny someone their blackness when we all have some amount of mixing in us thanks to how brutal and ruthless white people were and continue to be. I especially don't think it's right to take that collective anger and trauma and direct it at someone who cannot control who their parents were or whether they were from a loving union or an act of violence. I understand it. But I don't think mixed kids trying to reconnect with their heritage are the people to blame. We can shame the mixed kids that throw their own people under the bus without hurting the mixed kids who get shit from both sides.

[visceralcoma]

again.... fuck NetWatch. and fuck Evelyn, for outing VDBs to NetWatch

Edit:  I will clarify. ICE means Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics. So we’re not talking about the rl USA’s  “ICE”. 

Though given the last year we had in 2020, and the fact the VDBs are comprised of disaporic immigrant Hatians and Dominicans, who have essentially been kidnapped and held indefinitely by NetWatch, a corporation operating as a government policing organization, - the metaphor informing on real life events was pretty in your face.

So yeah, fuck Evelyn. and fuck NetWatch.

Cryptic Mystic: Who Do? Voodoo!

Who Do? Voodoo!:  Voodoo rituals date back centuries ago and hold root in many different cultures, including Creole, Hatian, and Afro-Caribbean. Most see Voodoo as a dark art - which like any form of craft, it very well can be - but there is more than meets the eye here. Firstly, the term “voodoo” is derived from “voudon” which originated from slaves in Haiti and is an Afro-Caribbean religion. You can find voudon in other places such as Jamaica, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic. During the 1600s when voudon first began, any religion other than Catholicism was seen as evil and punishable by whippings, beatings, and even death. At the time, religion was something that slave-owners took very seriously. Most slaves at that time were forced into Catholicism and made to worship and believe in those ways. Because all other religions were believed to be such a disgrace, slave-owners wanted to discourage anyone from believing any other way than what they saw as “right.” Even after slavery ended in the 1800s, the same principles stuck within society, and other religions were still looked down upon and unsupported by the masses. Thus began the rumors of cannibalism, human sacrifice, and zombies to further discourage others from supporting voudon and other religions. Even today, some of this insanity still spills over into society as voudon has been a pop-culture sensation otherwise known as voodoo, and often associated with black magic and other religions such as Satanism - which has absolutely nothing to do with voudon. Voodoo does carry some original aspects of voudon, but most of what we know as voodoo in America simply isn’t what it was meant to be, or even still is for that matter.

Voudon is not what American culture has portrayed through voodoo at all. There is little to do with voodoo dolls or zombies, as portrayed in pop-culture throughout America. Zombies or formerly known as zombi, were seen as solely a West African deity rather than the living dead who have a hunger for brains. Voudon revolves heavily around medicinal practices, songs, stories, and folklore - it is very much a culture and a lifestyle. Bondye is the higher-power found within voudon, although many spirits are worshiped within this religion. These spirits are referred to as loa, and each control a different part of life. For example, if you wish to be more wealthy, then you would give praise and offerings to the spirit of prosperity. If you seek love, then you would give praise and offerings to the spirit of love, and so on. Additionally, loa can possess the bodies of those who worship them. In Christian religion possession is seen as something evil and unwanted, whereas in voudon, possession is highly sought after and seen as a great experience connecting oneself to the spirit world.

But where does Louisiana tie into all of this and at what point does voudon become what most of us know today as Louisiana Voodoo? It all starts with the Atlantic slave trade. During this time people from west and central Africa were brought to French Louisiana, after which large populations of central and west African’s settled there and within the greater Mississippi valley. Voudon was a heavily practiced religion in west Africa and parts of central Africa that was brought to the state of Louisiana. Along with voudon, other similar religions and practices were brought to America as well including Hatian Vodou and Deep Southern Hoodoo. There are many variations of these religions, and what they may look like within a particular community varies in several ways. Louisiana Voodoo was most prominent and attracted the most attention, which is why it is the most well known of all African religions brought to America during that time. Americans have become fascinated with hearsay and stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, and soon Louisiana Voodoo was exacerbated into the way most view it today. Louisiana Voodoo was commercialized and began rising in popularity in the 1930’s after the movie White Zombie misrepresented Louisiana Voodoo as solely being about sticking pins in voodoo dolls and putting hexes on people. Louisiana Voodoo was further exploited by those who profited off of superstitions, turning voodoo into a business model by selling fake elixirs, candles, charms, and items of the like. Voodoo as we know it now has become a part of Louisiana tourist attractions, as businesses have capitalized on this religion.

What we know voodoo as today is a perfect example of cultural appropriation and industrial psychology working hand in hand. This shows how easily the masses can be manipulated through playing off of human emotion and cognition. You see this every day in most advertising and marketing ads. If there is a market for something, there is money to be made there. Businessmen and businesswomen have profited off of these religions for decades, playing off of the curiosity of the masses and what they do not know. Voodoo has piqued many an interest as it has grown in popularity. In spreading information more people can acquire knowledge about the culture and heritage of those who brought these religions to America. Given someone is provided correct information and for good reason, therein lies one of the important ethical factors. False and misleading information has been spread about these religions to the point to where most people who fail to conduct their own research solely see it as one religion; when in fact there are so many more similar religions all brought to America around the same time that no one is aware of. What we know as voodoo plays off of all of these religions in some way and stretches the truth to fit a certain narrative. Is this right or wrong? I’ll let you be the judge of that in forming your own opinion. The psychology behind how voodoo has developed is most interesting, and there is so much more to be said about all religions that make up what we know today as Louisiana Voodoo. If this topic interests you, I encourage you to do your research and dive deep. I can assure you, voodoo is nothing like what the media has portrayed it to be for the last century. What you find might surprise you...

Headcanons About Ryoma's Girlfriend

Btw you can have your own headcanons on her i just thought i'd share mine :3 and from the previous headcanon i made there will be a few changes.

Canon Info: Ryoma had met her in the United States when he was studying tennis overseas, so im assuming that they have been together for a very long time, he also mentioned how she (assuming) would bake cookies and other sweets with him, she ended up dying when the mafia had caught her.

Fanon Info: Her name was Reneé Hernandez and was raised and born in the Dominican Republic to an Afro Hispanic Father and a Hatian mother, at the age of 12 she moved to the United States and learned English but it was a very slow process, she could already read and write it by the age of 8 but speaking it was a completely different story. Reneé was a very shy and timid young girl who didn't have many friends but only two Mexican friends who were more outgoing and extrovered than her, eventually, Reneé got into sports as she started to gain weight from depression, specifically Basketball and Tennis, she could already speak English like its a first language and was less shy than before, Reneé was very confident in her abilities and many famous athletes had liked her skills, she eventually met Ryoma, who was much better as Tennis than she was, she was a huge fan of him and wanted him to teach her, he accepted and the two of them grew from a mentor and student to a lover relationship, after being with him for more than 2 years she decided to give up on sports and work on more "normal" jobs such as a bakery in a very wealthy area, Ryoma would often always stop here to buy his girlfriends sweets and often complimented on how sweet they were just like her, many years have passed and she was accidentally caught up in the mafia's wrongdoings, she then was assulted and killed and was the first one to die from them and after that went hers and his family.

If She Was In Danganronpa: If she was in Hopes Peak Academy, I'd give her the title of Ultimate Baker and would be rivals with Teruteru in terms of cooking, since she'd most likely be either a teen or young adult she wouldn't be as shy as she was during her freshman year of highschool but yet she is still a bit nervous being so close to so many people.
