hi! do you have any tips or any similar advice about how to portray culture with estonian characters?
Honestly I don't know what much to respond to this besides just big AVOID steps.
THINGS TO AVOID when you make an Estonian character to represent Estonians:
- Don't give them a Russian name, Estonians have a rich variety of names. A website I'd suggest for first name is behindthename Estonia's tag.
For surnames you can easily just pick the name of some bird, tree or natural thing, Heck some objects like book or rocks also work, plop that into Google translate and try googling with the surname to see if anyone has ever had it as a surname. (Like for example you look up Rock and get Kivi, then just add some random Estonian name like Jaan to it, at least from my experience Google understands you're trying to look for people so it will suggest you people who may have that surname. If you're still unsure, you can ask an Estonian you might know, like me!)
- Don't make them be supportive of Russia or occupying regimes, really obvious why.
- Unless you're trying to create an asshole, a normal Estonian wouldn't be wanting to avoid Baltics or anything. An obsession with trying to be Nordic is NOT normal here and does not represent Estonians at all.
That's to be honest the main AVOIDs I can think of instantly. The rest depends on details of what you're trying to make. But I do have some advice I can think of.
- Perhaps try to decide where specifically the character is from in Estonia, because Estonia can have a variety of traditions and cultures differ from region to region. Try to find as much information about that region.
Even if they're an immigrant in another country or a descendant who still holds onto their family's culture, they're bound to have something. One way you can very easily express it is what folk clothing they have, because those are incredibly diverse with regions!
And the best advice that of course is obvious I can give is...
- Do research and ask questions!
Research food and what's most commonly eaten, look into Estonian music that they might listen to. Do they have any traditional hobbies like crafts, playing instruments, folk dance, choir?
Estonians are typically not religious, but often superstitious and that doesn't have to be limited to Estonia native beliefs, because at least from what I've noticed Estonians in modern day like to adopt all sorts of beliefs from across the world - what do they believe in? Are they full atheist and unbelieving or do they have some beliefs and superstitions? Looking into Estonian ones would definitely still be the best option for Estonian representation, but that's not something you MUST do. I also advise to remember that some things are typical no matter beliefs - like a respect for nature.
That's just some things I can think of right now, if you have more specific things you'd like to know then that would be fine to ask. I just tried to think of something for this 😅

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.
it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.
and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.
on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.
edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

TERFs die mad: you just reblogged a nasty transgender person with pronouns and all who did this historical look to explore their cultural history as well as express their own nonbinary identity in a way that resonates with them. An edit I wish I didn’t have to make on this post
I’ll try to post the actual pictures I took soon, but I was bored today and wanted to shirk some other responsibilities, so I decided to do some general vague Minoan or Mycenaean look since it’s been on the mind and also my hair was looking really good today and I wanted to take advantage of that haha

you see price sitting like this when you walk into a room post mission- and you know exactly what it is he needs.
he's licking at you and holding your thighs open with his rough palms- and you can't take it. his calluses and his beard and the fabric of his sleeves are rubbing at your legs just right- but not enough for you to lose focus on his hot tongue rubbing on you and in you and you've never been wetter in your LIFE.
his only problem? you're still moving too much. he can't reach where he wants to inside of you because you keep wiggling out of his way. his hands want to touch you everywhere- not just hold your thighs still. this is when he begins to squeeze at you everywhere, and tell you to rest your thighs on his shoulders.
"b-but price- hhnngh ohmygod- i c-can't. they're too big. thighs are too big"
you whine at the loss of contact, but then you look down and see him staring at you with massive pupils and a wet face. "lovie- my shoulders are broad for a reason. rest your thighs on em and i swear they'll have enough room"
and you listen, and you're crushing his ears with your thighs, and he's never been happier. the next time you look down? he's rutting into the mattress and you see his hips stutter when he groans into you and your vision goes white
(@chamomiletealeaf and i had SUCH A HORNY discussion about this and she told me to post it so here i am- and also omg photo creds to her. we've gotta reign it in lmfao)

you know i used to think it was weird how sora and roxas have such different personalities for supposedly being 'the same person' but after playing a few games i sort of realized that they do have similar personalities, because roxas acts how sora does when he's under extreme stress.
compare roxas to sora in, say, kh1. that's where a lot of peoples idea of sora's personality comes from. sora is generally very upbeat and optimistic in that game. not very similar to roxas, right?
but let's switch the game and talk about a game where sora is ABSOLUTELY GOING THROUGH IT. chain of memories.
sora's resting state is melancholy in com. he only ever cheers up in short bursts, usually when he's joking around with friends. just like roxas.
he's quick to anger, and tends to lash out at the organization members. best example of this is when larxene makes him 'remember' namine, and he swings at her repeatedly, even after she's gone. he only stops when jiminy is able to snap him out of it.
you know what scene that resembles?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sora, while a bit more on the angry side and less sad, continues to act like this in kh2 when he's in stressful situations. (he also has a tendancy to insult people which, while it's not very related to the point, is very funny and sora saying 'gonna cry?' to xigbar is great.) i cant comment any further than that about kh2 off the top of my head.
so, roxas acts like sora does when he's stressed, right? but why is roxas always acting like that? to which i say, he isnt!
he only ever acts like that when he's also in fucked up and stressful situations, which happens to be a CONSTANT in his life. but when he's hanging out with axel and xion, a decidedly NOT stressful situation, he's a lot more like sora. he's teasing his friends and insulting his coworkers and joking around and acting like a normal kid. not really important, but unless i misremembered some sora lines which is VERY possible, both roxas and sora respond to friendly insults with "oh thanks!" a lot. just a funny little detail that felt relevant.
the biggest differences between roxas and sora boil down to environment and... i dont know how to put it besides volume? roxas is very quiet and tends to keep most of his thoughts to himself, while sora is very loud and expressive in comparison.
there is one other huge difference i noticed, which is less character based and more story. sora wanted to get off destiny islands and explore with his friends, but roxas just wanted routine. sora wants adventure, and roxas wants things to stay the same, for days where he gets off work and eats ice cream with his friends to last forever, to keep having conversations about nothing and watching the sunset. roxas wants normalcy, sora wants excitement. it's just interesting seeing their contrast.
not sure if this is very well said or anything i just wanted to talk about my boys
