#indigenous creator

This is your reminder that, I am an afro-indian and indigenous creator! I'm Mr. Laveau, an audio RP VA who is Caribbean and Kalinago!

My channel + stories are filled with Indigenous characters, lemme show them off to you!

Nikolas Ortiz is Chinese, Latino & Mexica while Julio Vela is Afro-latino & Mexica!

Nikolas was inspired by Quetzelcoatl and Julio was inspired by Tepeyollotl! Nikolas is a powerful daemon who's just moved to California to attend a magical college but finds that making friends and being a good boyfriend are easier said than done while figuring out how to be social again! Julio is one of his newly made friends who helps him settle.

Joseph Hunt, Trevor & Bull are all of the Navajo Nation!

Joseph was inspired by Odin while Trevor and Bull are inspired by Huginn and Muninn as well the navajo myth of the hero twins, Nayenesgani the slayer (Trevor who was named after Trevor Belmont) and Water (Bull, named after the Bull river). They're all headed to Washington to investigate the disappearance of the MC's brother, but the twins are looking for their father who they think might be around there too!

Percy and Aman are Caribbean and Afro-indigenous, Aman is Black & Taino, Percy is Black & Kalinago!

Percy was based on the Kalinago's connection to the ocean as sea-farers, and Aman is based on Huracan, the taino god of wind and Aeolus! Their story centres on the idea of lost opportunities, grief, lonliness and the consequence of colonization in the Caribbean!

Ezra is Latino & Maya, Jackson is Afro-Inuit and Zee is Afro-arapaho!

Ezra is based on the mayan god, Ek Chuah and owls (which is like funny because owls are associated with witches and she's a witch)! Ezra is the head of her own coven that is stationed in Appalachia, but is moving to expand their operations in Chicago and keep an eye on his parnter!

Jackson is based on the Akhlut, a shapeshifting spirit that can take the forms of both a wolf and an orca. He is an alpha forced into the positon after his predecessor was framed for a murder they did not commit. As of now, he's currently trying to manage the disappearance of his pack members that goes unnoticed

Zee is an eagle shifter whose concept is based on the thunderbird! She made her debut killing a magical cop, and is a spy for an anarchist group looking to fight their government's tyranical hold over magical people.

Jericho Boucharde is Black & Chitimacha, and Aranck is Cree!

Aranck's character was made around the concept of the Cree writing system, hence he was designed as a Wizard! He is venturing out to prove himself as a mage and make his people's language academically recognised within his world due to the dissonance between human cultures.

Jericho is based on a creature who-I-cannot-name (hint:W) and Gargoyles! Jericho is the obsessive ex-lover of one of the listeners within Blood Moon! After being isolated for most of his life, he became a vampire to find community only to descend into monstrosity.

please remember all of our stolen siblings as you celebrate our longevity. please remember Emily Pike and Jonathan Joss and the others whose names we’ll never have the privilege of knowing. remember their families and loved ones, remember their names, remember that we have never stopped fighting. remember and celebrate our endurance, our fighting spirits. celebrate our will to survive in times of hardship and uncertainty.

celebrate the lives of everyone we’ve lost, celebrate the lives of all of us who are still standing despite the hundreds of years spent trying to destroy us.

we have always been here. we will always be here. remember and celebrate that we won’t go quietly.

As one of many Indigenous creators, I’d like to wish you all a happy and empowering Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

You may not have known, but my webcomic, Selonus, is really important to me BECAUSE it’s a retelling of many of my experiences, struggles, and successes growing up Native. It’s a reminder to myself of my heritage and my opportunity to share with you a bit of my culture and some common issues that Indigenous communities face (even to this day).

I have plans in the future to do a deep dive on some of these topics, but until then, happy IPD :)

And then I decided to just write the idea down, it couldn't hurt after all, right? And quickly realized, over the 26 hours straight of writing as I literally couldn't stop myself from cranking out this idea that had been festering within me for so long, that *I* wanted to read it. And that was enough. I realized my desire to see how the story would unfold should have been all I needed in the first place, and in fact at first I never planned to share the story at all. How Fated Dominoes Fall was and is *my* story. It wasn't written to appease an audience-- it was written to fulfill my own desires for representation in a genre I love. It's something I have reread a dozen times as I've continued the narrative, and yet I find something new to love, to be surprised by, at every turn. And I can only hope that there are others out there who might, someday, love it even a fraction as much as I do.
