who is the scoundrel? I see you posting about them(it? Idk) all the time but I haven’t figured out who they are
my fallen london OC! i made them by accident a few months ago and as you can tell ive very quickly developed scoundrel brainrot. it's a terminal illness for which there is no cure and the symptoms are instead of brain there is scoundrel.
Tumblr media
in terms of actual character rundowns, their full moniker is The Bandaged Scoundrel, though i tend to call them "the scoundrel" for short. their real name is D█████, but they'd sooner die permanently than respond to or even acknowledge its existence.
they are! a bastard! a rat! a son of a b___! a motherf______! they are vain beyond your wildest imagination and they think they're the most infallible perfect being in all of existence and they have the exact attitude of a saturday morning power-hungry cartoon supervillain on cocaine.
Tumblr media
and also, perhaps most importantly, they're Really Fucking Stupid. because of course they are.
they are resplendently awful. they are inevitably going to cause their own demise in an act of pure karmic retribution. they are a speck of dust in history that desperately keeps trying to insist they're actually a tornado. i love them dearly.
in loose conclusion while also acknowledging ive explained literally nothing; my goofy silly victorian london browser game player character that deserves to get timetraveled against their will to the 21st century specifically so they can get hit by a truck
#also their pronouns and gender are whatever you feel like that day#i usually use they/them or it/its for simplicites sake#ask#fallen london#im not gonna do the rundown on what FL is again bc ive answered asks abt it like twice already so you can look in the tag on my blog#all you need to know for the purposes of The Scoundrel is that it's an oc creation simulator with a few extra steps#i used to have an oc directionary post.. i should probably make a new one at some point. i post a ton about the fuckers anyway#other scoundrel trivia facts im not including in this post so it doesnt clog dashboards forever:#-their ethnicity is unknown but likely german or french#-they get comical levels of seasick on boats and absolutely despise zailing despite loving the profits of being a pirate#-they probably pay absurd amounts of money just to get the flowers in their hair from the surface#-the bandages cover every single part of their body except their face. they hate covering their face. they want everyone to admire them#they wear bandages all the time in such vast quantities for Other Reasons.#probably ranging from 'got sent to the tomb colonies so much they dont bother taking it all off' to 'wrote correspondence on their arm'#-their eyes are violant because they dipped them. In It. so they wouldn't forget a certain... Event involving cricket#they're really really normal.#also yes i doodled this chibi just for this ask bc im insane#if you ever wanna know more/get a proper answer just ask. im always foaming at the mouth to discuss my ocs

These Native Americans are not a people of the past. It's us. We have just been rebranded as Mexican. Latino. Hispanic. It's called ethnic erasure or ethnic cleansing. You kidnap a people, you shove them in Indian boarding schools, force them to no longer speak their languages, remove their original names and force them to have Spanish names, English names, French names, Portuguese names. On paper we've been identifying as White. And that's how much ethnic cleaning has affected us. We've been blinded by the fact that they took away our names, our languages, our culture, everything that we are and replaced it with the colonizers identity, hence colonialism. They slaughtered our ancestors, they built their own "countries" on top of our corpses.

France since October 7th: Our weapons are not being used in Gaza. We are currently not providing any weapons to Israel.
Yesterday: The NGO Disclose confirms that France delivered at the very least 100000 ammunitions to “Israel” on October 23rd. And that since then more weapons and ammunitions were most likely provided and are still provided.
For the record on October 23rd at the very least 5000 Palestinian had already been killed by the Israeli terrorists and that’s also about when France started pretending to call for a ceasefire. So while they were pretending to care they were actually providing ammunitions to kill more Palestinians.
France practicing the old French tradition of always being on the wrong side of History and always helping genociders and colonizers while pretending to fight against them.
Edit: I forgot to say that the exact same type of ammunitions was used during the Flour massacre. So France not only has soldiers with the dual citizenship on the ground they also provide the weapons to kill civilians and commit a genocide and then lie about it and say that they are not sending anything except for pieces that are used for the Iron Dome.

The issues & beauties of German music
(70s Kraut Rock )
Here, NOT ONE SINGLE SOUL talks about Krautrock 🌿 it seems like dead & forgotten (except CAN)
which is sad about this phenomenon :/ the only ones paying attention are prog magazines and music connoisseurs
Everyone talks about the Scorpions and Rammstein (in fact it's quality). Sometimes Boney M but... it's always the same: good music is too elite for the masses.
Even the band Eloy. Prog fans love them- the most listeners come from other places of the earth but not their origin country. Often a fault of the music industry, critics as well as the radio stations which really neglected these now in modern times.
//
The rhymes & language, pronunciation
Sure, worse languages exist. But to be honest, can you relax, with the German language? There's no flow at all, nothing like Italian or, you know, English. It's a popular opinion and what speaks against it?
Depends on the way someone sings and per region there is a difference but some harshness is always there.
//
Sung in English example: Eloy (again)
Some people are totally fine with the accent (their whole discography is in English sung by Frank Bornemann!!) others have problems getting into this band. Depends on the listener.
What often happened was that the groups had a British singer...
//
Tumblr media
Old fashioned names
For example British rock: someone asks you, you say your idol is some random Jeff or Pete or whatever their names are. What about German musician's names? They're called Dieter or Jogi or Herbert or Udo
"Who's your favourite musician?" - Jürgen xy (sorry shouldn't sound mean)
People make jokes about old fashioned names, then why blaming yourself and getting sideeyed.
This is all a matter of coolness, let's move to the music...
//
A few information
Okay don't judge (seems extremely stereotype now) the people, musicians of the 60s and 70s were the first generation after WW2. You can imagine. The children of ex- patriots. They wanted to change something. BUT!! They were BOUND in the roots of their country.
There was a scene and later with many students and discotheques. There were artists from all over the world. The music is innovative and you can hear it even clearly. You can also hear their protest, spirit and the diversity of sounds.
There is nothing you can call THE Kraut. It's practically impossible to sum the sound up. Actually it's not a genre. That one word represents all the music made in Germany
//
An example.
You hear the instruments? The bass, drums, hard guitar, organs, saxophone EVERYTHING WORKS. SO FINE MUSIC.
Listen to it, create your own opinion.
Notes
1. So many songs by this one group called Lied des Teufels? Yeah. They're not known at all. That singer sounds like imitating Ian Gillan- Everyone can TRY to copy but they do it in their own style which is not copying, it's storytelling. (Kind of)
2. THE WHOLE THING SHOULD NOT MAKE ME SEEM PASSIONATE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I DISCOVERED KRAUT LITERALLY YESTERDAY
3. Probably it's something that gets boring really fast
//
So...
Skillful musicians w/ ability to express themselves and the problems of their country. Wether the singing style is something for you or not- there are countless of other groups.
We HAVE TO speak about these forgotten acts again & give it a chance

may i ask if you're white and native? like ndn? or are you indig to somewhere else?
white and native yep! i've talked about it a few times but my mom's side of the family is from the Blackfeet Nation in montana. dad's side is completely white. so im Scottish/French/Welsh/Blackfeet. i feel like most of my followers r on the same page about like, the social construction of race and ethnicity and stuff but i want to be very clear that as a white native person i benefit from white privilege, i am always read in the world as white, i have a responsibility + obligation to actively confront and dismantle the ways i am complicit in systems of oppression, both within the larger world and when it comes to racism within native communities, and that me saying i'm native is not denying any of that. i am white and at the same time, i am native bc my mom is native and my grandpa is native and my great grandma was native etc etc and my connection to community + culture + generational trauma. sorry for typing out a paragraph in response to this but in the past many people on tumblr have been like, incapable of understanding what i mean when i say i am white and native and insist that i must just be "white passing"(which is a misuse and appropriation of language coming from the context of antiblack racism and Jim crow america). so yeah. i don't talk about being native a lot on here bc a lot of it is like, incredibly personal stuff that tumblr is NOT at all the audience for

i was talking about this to a friend the other day but something i see ppl say often that really really pisses me off, is when people start hating on america, but it becomes clear they’re hating not on the state of america, but on the american people- and theyll say something to sort of like. exclude. american ethnic groups, as like a way of being like “yeahh fuck all americans they should all die IM NOT RACIST THOUGH!” except they do that by being like “yeah and there were american ethnic groups like natives and creoles and whatever…uhh but yk those americans. They killed all of them. So they’re not around anymore ergo not included.”
i just hate that. Like if you want to say you hate a whole population of people you have to acknowledge that you’re hating a whole population of people, you cant back out when it starts sounding really racist because by doing that you’re just sort of saying we are either extinct, or our whole continued existence on this land is null. Like either say you hate all americans and include us, or if that doesn’t sound right, then don’t say it at all!

Its so so frustrating when white Irish leftists think LGBT rights are the be all and end all of everything. like why do I see people all the time responding to fascists and white supremacist 'irish first' racists with pride flags like ye are not the target here cop on! presumably these fascists and white supremacist are homophobic and transphobic but in all fairness like ye must realise ye would be a hundred time safer in a crowd of these white supremacists as a white Irish person regardless of your sexuality than any non white irish person or immigrant would be. Put more energy into protecting the non white non Irish people in your communities that are being targeted by these white supremacists than you do into making everything about yourself

The French Navy has abruptly withdrawn support from the Operation Prosperity Guardian, a US-led multinational navy force aimed at combating Yemen’s Pro-Palestine maritime war in the Red Sea.
France’s decision comes in the wake of US leadership facing growing criticism over US ship powers leaving American sailors vulnerable to the Yemeni Armed Forces “without adequate protection.”
According to reports, the French Navy withdrew from the US-led Operation Prosperity Guardian after a representative walked out of the operation’s first meeting with US officials. The French, however, have commenced escorting their own counterships including the containerships CMA CGM Pegasus, CMA CGM George Washington and APL Salalah, through the Red Sea. The US on the other hand, have reportedly abandoned their own American-flagged ships stranded in the region, some awaiting an entire week for escort.
It’s still unclear if France will quit the operation entirely or if they will assist after prioritizing their own ships. According to one source acquainted with the French navy, other European ship owners are likely to get secondary priority after French owned ships.
This development marks a significant shift in the geopolitical dynamics of maritime security in one of the world’s most vital shipping lanes. The French decision underscores a growing crisis in shipping that puts national and regional priority ahead of global needs, while the US focuses on protecting all shipping – including ships owned by rivals like China – at the expense of the dwindling fleet of US-flagged merchant ships.
The Operation Prosperity Guardian initially expected widespread participation but only ten nations joined with the Netherlands contributing a few staff offices only. America’s naval allies such as Australia, Japan and South Korea reportedly abstained. The Pentagon claimed that ten additional silent partners had also joined the operation but shipping experts assumed otherwise.
According to media reports, the rather abrasive announcement led to confusion as shipping companies felt uninformed citing that few practical details were known of the coalition.
