POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

an Indigenous Peoples Day reminder that borders are bullshit and every Indigenous person from across the Americas deserves to be in the US more than every person of European origin

fuck borders, fuck ICE, land back.

as for kahhori, i loved her powers. i dont have a filipino oc inspired by her but i am conceptualizing a mohawk vampire that hasnt been materialized yet. i call her the "night lady" kinda like another version of the "sky woman" in the iroquoian creation stories

do i have to explain myself in this part? 2 pre-colonial vampires who experienced the spanish invasion walk into a bar...

i chose the tyranny of king washington costume for him cuz it fits more with the "fantastical" characters such as kahhori and olrox given that he can summon wolves and turn invisible in the dlc

i made this cuz these characters mean A LOT to me. starting with connor he's actually the 1st indigenous character that inspired me to make a filipino character. she's an assassin katipunera i made back in 2020 when i was a connor fan (AND IM BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING)

I’ll probably do an infodump post abt him on Tumblr focusing more on the thought process of making him, then afterwards his lore. As for knowing other characters, I think he def knows Olrox given how much they have in common other than their looks n stuff

I did this the other day. There were two people sitting outside of a place for some sort of survey or donations and one of them commented on my CV shirt. They then started telling their coworker/friend about how much they liked the show, and I just smiled and slinked away like a weirdo. 😬😂

@samueldeats.bsky.social is weird about telling people he worked on Castlevania so when the hotel employee commented on his CV shirt and started talking about the final battle in S4 Sam was like haha yeah that one was difficult and the guy was like haha yeah?
