Giveaways that someone is American, as told by non-Americans.

Idk why I was expecting a list of negative shit
We do do these things a lot and it’s so nice to hear them in a positive light because so often I feel like we’re hated on. Never in my life have I had someone from another country call us friendly. They always say we’re loud and obnoxious (not that that’s not true, it often can be). It’s such a relief to hear something else.

I’d like to think the reason why Mages live in towers is just by accident.
Mages live in normal houses, but their magic does weird stuff to their home and stretches the house up into a tower. It’s also why powerful mages tend to have really big hats and overstretched robes.
This could also extend to why Mages don’t wear metal armour; it’ll just stretch and grow and get too heavy to use. Cloth is a safe option, and they can just cut away the extra fabric.
A mage’s staff is just their first wand but stretched.

Beethoven was black.
Alexandre Dumas was mixed race, as was his father, who was a war hero during the French Revolution.
Alexander Pushkin had a black (Ethiopian) great-grandfather.
Alessandro de Medici had a mixed race mother. (I swear, them all being Alexanders, is not my fault).
Spanish painter Juan de Pareja, was mixed race.
A surprising number of European historical figures aren’t entirely white. A lot of these people pretended/passed during their lifetimes because, well…we know why.
the europeans erasing the heritage of their historical figures hasnt stopped. freddy mercury was indian
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
