State Ocs Are Bangers But Get This... Diaspora Ocs

i hate when americans get asked about the israeli/palestinian conflict and they say “well it’s not really my place to have an opinion” our country literally funds genocide against the palestinian people in the name of “defense” it absolutely is our business, we should be as mad as we can as loudly as possible. 

NEED 2 hear more abt indigenous!amerus….

[AAHHHH oh my goodness, I love this QUESSSTIOONN!! I think--]

to begin, Russia and America have more than 300+ indigenous cultures and languages within their regions. I do not aim to represent them as a monolith nor do my hcs aim to define a solitary native culture as their respective identities. seeing as they are a personification of their countries, I see them as an amalgamation of each culture's traditions.

working off the last post where I reference them speaking Diné and Koryak:

they began speaking these languages to each other in the early 1800s because of how close they were growing as friends. seriously, Fort Ross (aka Metini as named by the Pomo indigenous people of the region) was a Russian settlement established in California that existed to trade only with Americans. Alfred and Ivan used this settlement to get to know each other better and truly appreciate their indigenous identity over the revered status of their caucasian colonial overseers (Fort Ross was actually funded by an imperialist company so pls assume cultural diffusion is the only good thing they did; I only ref it as a point in history that connects their indigeneity as Siberian, Alaskan, and American natives all passed through this fort). It started off as a means to better interact with each other's people but then they began communicating exclusively with each other,,, and then it became more intimate,, y'know.

they would often hunt together (and al absolutely knocked it outta the park) but ivan would help him with preparing fur pelts (as koryaki or aleut/inuk culture exceeded at making coats and it was the largest trade in FR).

Native American and Siberian and Inuit/Inuk peoples in early history were IN LOVE with astronomy (and i'd say the pioneers of astronomy as a science)! this is where both Ame and Rus acquired their appreciation for space, and of course, the number one thing they geek tf out about together. space is not simply their hyper-fixation, but a part of everything they do. they plan ceremonies in kamchatka by the arrangement of the stars (specifically the Pleiades, or aka sakiattiak (Inuit) or coyote's daughters (Paiute)) because it is the origin of indigenous life. they camp out in chaco canyon at every equinox to stargaze.

they don't stay 'I love you' to each other. however, they do cook each other the most elaborate and appreciative meals: venison with cowberry sauce, smoked omul, cajun salmon, frybread (NAVAJO TACOS 4EVER) w all sorts of toppings, and BEEF JERKY! they prepare the best beef jerky in the whole darn tootin world!!!

Ivan is the singer in this boy band and Alfred is the dancer (and drummer tbh). Ivan is downright gifted in throat singing and could perform the dance of the seagulls with one stoli bottle and half a bar of alenka chocolate in his system. alfred can belt out while drumming, there's no doubt-- but I can tell you right now that he is DEADLY with his men's traditional dance. tbh, he wins 1000+ seduction points with Ivan when he dances lol

THEY CREATE FOR EACH OTHER. when they hunt, they use every bone in that sacred creature's body to make each other charms, knives, bracelets, rings, little beads for beaded jewelry--

AND BOY DO THEY BEAD!! ivan's regalia is comprised of reindeer skin and beads, and al will go 40 hrs straight sewing them on for him as well as making his headbands and jingle bells (he's a pattern whizz). al is more of a boujee native, so Ivan freaking obliges him so much that he will bead the most beautiful earrings, chains and medallions you have ever seen (he is a design whizz-- also alfred begged him for one with the vegas knights to brag to his bro about cause STANLEY CUP RAAAAH!!)

HBD @astrophilic-soul!!!! please take a drawing of our favorite gay elders as a small gift to you! you are such a kind and phenomenally talented person and this fandom is so blessed to have you! thank you for everything you are and do!

they're having a staring contest and the loser pays for dinner

My controversial take for the India fandom is to write India murdering England with his bare hands instead of forgiving England for colonialism and dating him maybe

so beautiful, my indian girl you’re one of a kind, you’ll always be mine you’re so fine [aaaamelia] red rock woman, you make my rockin’ world go ‘round

the 10 korea fans in the vicinity yearn for more korea...... pleek ..... 🙏🙏💔💔

• pueblo acoma, nm

on our way to albuquerque, we were able to tour the beautiful sky city in the mesa! acoma natives have lived in the mesa for over 2000 years. I'm still so amazed by that.

[it’s always a good day to be indigenous!]

I have no idea how someone could be as ignorant as you are being right now. You have a myriad of resources to find that anti-Muslim sentiment is why this genocide is permiating, and yet you choose to live in your hateful ignorance. It is pointless to argue and thoroughly explain to you the suffering of people when you seldom see them as people, so I am truly wasting no more energy on you.

If you want to talk about anti-gay sentiments in religion, I can tell you right now that damn near every religion revolving around Jesus of Nazareth is conservative at heart. As for anti-gay murders-- every single one of those deaths are done by terrorist groups NOT affiliated with Palestine or any major Muslim denomination!

And I am sorry-- are you, as someone from Russia, telling me how brutal other people's cultures are to gay people? Your government is majorly Orthodox Christian. Under that same religion, they have committed various crimes of gay purging in Chechnya where thousands of people have been brutally tortured and killed, all for the sake of God and sanctity! Will you condemn Christians for this? Will you condemn Christianity for the rise of nationalism and fascism?

Вы не человек веры, вы просто человек, охваченный чувством вины, который использует прекрасную веру, чтобы замаскировать свою уродливую, пагубную ненависть, и поверьте мне, это приведет к вашей собственной гибели.

Children are being killed by Isr*el but ok. There's video evidence everywhere but ok.

Also Palestinian jews exist too, and actual H*locaust survivors are protesting what Isr*el is doing to the Palestinians.

Didn't know saying "Killing innocent civilians, especially children, is horrible and there should be permanent ceasefire" was so controversial but ok.
