Hetalia

Stuck between really wanting more canon South American and African nations for Hetalia, and the fact I absolutely don't trust the Loud part of fandom to be normal about it and treat them respectfully.

Did you see where the Beckhams dissed Meghan in their Super Bowl Uber Eats commercial? The one seen by millions of people? Victoria and David are trying to remember the name of her former girl group (the Spice Girls of course) and they guess "Saffron Squad? Nooo..." "Nutmeg Maidens? Nooo..." lolololol!

Nutmeg, sweetie, when Mama Dorito was teaching you not to give your milk away for free, didn't she also teach you not to trash people on your way up, because you will surely meet them on your way down as well? She didn't? No? Oh well, too bad, so sad...now you're the public laughingstock of HW and the US...and the UK...and Canada...and Australia...and South Africa...

*********

I think you might be reading too much into it. It’s not a diss if it goes over 99% of the audience’s heads. That’s why South Park and the Worldwide Privacy Tour was so effective - they made sure everyone understood what they were doing first.

The nutmeg thing might be more of a wink-wink to David and the football/soccer world, of which there are more fans and followers than the BRF drama. A nutmeg is when someone kicks the ball through someone else’s legs.

The ‘Saffron Squad’ bit just seems like they’re going for the alliteration (alliteration makes things memorable).

If you think it was a dig at Meghan, this might not be the right place for you — you are absolutely welcome here but you probably won’t get the reaction from me that you may be expecting. I don’t fully subscribe to the Easter Eggsiness of things. (I get annoyed by the Swiftie easter eggs too so it’s not just with Meghan or the royals.) The only easter eggs I accept are chocolate ones.

Ask any asian people who speaks multiple languages they never consider it as even a thing.// This a very common thing, white people consider accents and languages classy, smart and associated with higher class, but only when it comes to white Europeans, immigrants and their kids hace accents and speaks 2 o 3 languages and that’s always used to measure their intelligence, because an accent it’s only considered smart if it’s from a white country, someone from South America Or Africa can be very fluid in english, but because of their accents people immediately assume that they either dont know english or that they are dumb, and act like they can’t understand them, but if someone from France has basic english it’s considered smart and sophisticated, and all of the sudden they can understand then and find a way to communicate. Very classist and racist, how many other actors/ actresses in hw are multilingual, and nobody makes a big deal of that, but some white girl say “Hola” and all of the sudden she’s cultured 🙄🥱

There was a lot of classism written into that profile of her, tbh.

Never have these ideological contortions been as conspicuous as during Israel’s war in Gaza. Liberal hawks often profess their commitment to human rights. Yet they haven’t called for ending a war that is killing more people per day than any conflict this century. They haven’t done so because, like their allies in the Biden administration, they are wedded to a narrative about the moral superiority of American power that this war defies. Liberal hawks want to preserve American primacy, which they associate with human progress. But Israel-Palestine reveals a harsher truth: that in much of the world, for many decades, the US has used its power not to defend freedom but to deny it. That’s why liberal hawks can’t face the true horror of this war. Doing so would require them to reconsider their deepest assumptions about America’s role in the world. [...] But there are many places, especially in the global south, that do not fit this story of American power producing moral progress. The story doesn’t account for the 62 times, according to the political scientist Dov Levin, that the United States intervened in foreign elections between 1946 and 1989, nor the fact that, according to Lindsey O’Rourke’s book Covert Regime Change, many of the leftist parties the US sabotaged had “repeatedly committed themselves to working within a democratic framework, and, in some cases, US policymakers even acknowledged this fact”. The story doesn’t account for US complicity in Indonesia’s killing of roughly 1 million alleged leftists in the mid-1960s or the CIA’s role in helping apartheid South Africa arrest Nelson Mandela. It can’t be reconciled with the Nixon administration’s decision to keep arming Pakistan’s war in what became Bangladesh when America’s own chief diplomat on the ground told them that the Pakistanis were committing genocide or the Reagan administration’s insistence on supplying weapons to President Efraín Ríos Montt, whom a Guatemalan court later convicted of genocide for his effort to wipe out his country’s Maya Ixil Indians. The story doesn’t explain the George HW Bush and Clinton administrations’ sanctions against Iraq, which the United Nations humanitarian coordinator in that country warned were “destroying an entire society” or the Obama administration’s participation in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates’ blockade and indiscriminate bombing of Yemen, which left 18 million of the country’s 28 million people without reliable access to food. Israel-Palestine is part of a darker history about the era of American primacy that liberal hawks celebrate and wish to preserve. For decades, the United States has used its unparalleled military might and diplomatic muscle to ensure that Israel can deny millions of Palestinians the most basic rights – citizenship, due process, freedom of movement, the right to vote – with impunity.

Positive displacement rotary pumps called three screw pumps are employed to move fluids from one location to another. These screws move inside a chamber and have interlocking teeth or vanes. The fluid is drawn into the chamber by the screws and released under pressure. It's a good idea to have a backup plan in case something goes wrong. A positive displacement rotary pump with three screws that moves fluid through it is known as a low-pressure three-screw pump. In applications where lower pressures are necessary, including in the chemical and petrochemical industries, low-pressure three-screw pumps are frequently utilised.

Rare Pair Week, day 3: Culture

@aphrarepairweek2021

South Africa/Mozambique, PG, 500 words.

.

“You cut your hair,” is the first thing she tells him when he comes closer to her in the airport arrivals lounge, and South Africa blinks at this small woman with her heart-shaped face and full lips crisped in distaste.

“Hello to you too, Moz.”

The ride to her house is quiet, and he knows better than to test her when she closes herself off like this. He looks at the road instead. At the tall tree tops and the azure beaches beyond.

“I had that dream again,” she says, eyes still turned straight ahead and he studies her profile, her high cheekbones, her big golden earrings and the perfect folds of her colorful capulana wrapped around her head.

“Did you sleepwalk again?” She nods. “Moz… that can be dangerous.”

“I know that,” she cuts him off sharply and South Africa presses his lips closed. Mozambique exhales with a slight shudder, her narrow shoulders dropping, her guard lowering. “I know that,” she repeats, softer this time.

He notices the bags under her eyes, dark circles on her usually clear, healthy skin. “What was it this time?” She glanced at him with furrowed brows, and he complemented, “The dream, what was it this time?”

“Why did you cut your hair?” she asks instead, shooting him another glare.

He sighs, passing a hand over his buzz cut hair, barely an inch of it left after he tried cutting it by himself at home. “Hair grows back.”

She huffs, turning a corner and pulling her car up into her street.

Her living room is painted an elegant shade of light grey and her curtains are white. She still keeps her old rifle hung on the wall behind her couch, neatly cleaned and oiled, the black barrel a sharp contrast in color to the soft tones of her home.

“What did you dream about, Moz?” he tries again, standing in the midst of her home and things and watches as she turns her car keys around her fingers like lines in a fishing net.

Mozambique turns her big brown eyes to him, her kind heart-shaped face tight with sorrow. “Same as always.”

“The dog again?”

She nods, looking down. He sighs. The clock on the far wall tells him there is still time before her sister gets there for the dinner party Mozambique had been planning for weeks, and since being late runs in their family there was even more time still. He puts his bags down on the floor and pulls her hands to him.

“Let’s go to the beach,” he says and she cocks her head to the side, looking at him with the beginnings of a smile.

“Only if you promise to never get rid of your hair like that again.”

He rolls his eyes. “It needed a trim.”

“Then you should have come to me and I’d do it.”

When he pulls her hands the rest of her body follows and her small frame fits perfectly in his arms.

“Deal.”

Notes:

There are two literary references here because I love Mozambican literature too much, and they are: Sleepwalking Land, by Mia Couto (1992), and my personal favorite, We killed the mangy dog, by Luís Bernardo Honwara (1964). Both have already been translated into English.

Mozambican women are known for their skincare, the traditional mussiro masks have both a symbolic traditional use and a cosmetic one. They used to be worn by young women to symbolize their virginity, but that practice has gone into disuse and nowadays it’s worn by any woman. I’m going to leave this article here for a more detailed description.

The capulanas are colorful fabrics imported from India worn by Mozambican women. They used to be brought in by Arabic traders since the 9th century and are worn in a variety of ways.

The rifle is, of course, a reference both to the Mozambican Independence War and to the Mozambican flag.

Being late is part of the lusophone world. :|
