everything sucks right now in the kind of way that explaining what’s wrong with the current life situation to someone makes them more confused than sympathetic

The rest of Vera’s skin would start to turn gray as her face became sunken. “Feels…cold.” she gasps out.

Math, itself, really doesn't need to suck this much. It's the "you should basically be able to solve this without looking at it" vibe that turns it from "challenging but rewarding" to "I have already dropped out of school once over this sh#t."

you made that? it's really good. i like it a lot. it has a distinct and impressive style.

Thanks Aiv! I really appreciate that. Some of the details were taken from a toolkit I use but yeah that is me in a Renaissance art style (the setting is similar to Renaissance Italy and Greek under the late Byzantine period). It's a map for a oneshot I wanted to do with friends, but atm it's just a cool setting for stories.

Thank you, lmao I figured someone would ask, I'm in the midst of making a website for comissions buuuuuut since I've known most the people on TEP I would be willing to do them for free. Tele me if you have details and such, all I ask is that I'd be able to post this stuff online, and if not we can work out some other kinda agreement.

Truman actually called him a crybaby and to never let him back in his office lmao.

He was pretty good. Just overshadowed by FDR and Eisenhower.

What's even funnier is that Truman and his wife were very nice people according to their staff. So, not only by a president, but one of the nicest ones.

Oh no :(

I hope the life situation gets un-wrong. It can be really hard to try for solutions when you're not sure anyone else understands the problem.

wtf do I write?

Do something more with Tayug. Maybe write a story about how some elements of the True Tayug party escaped to the south creating a new country or something, and the Pangasinan government has now made it its mission to destroy the TT for good.

it will, it’ll be fine

the nature of the problem is that it is both incredibly stressful/frustrating and completely pointless in the long run (before you ask, i’m only dealing with it because my parents are “strongly encouraging” me to), so regardless of how it goes today it won’t have any lasting effect on my life

also i have d&d monday :)

thanks

the situation’s temporary so i’ll be clear soon, and i have an aarakocra politician character to play for the first time in a few days that’ll outweigh whatever’s going on now

When I expand next month, I want to do something about Westmore annexing a Nauru-like country for its phosphorus. Thoughts?

Random Lore dump, because I feel like it and I made a map recently so I'm cool.

Vinazio is the capital of the Kingdom of Cavillia, though despite the formal name of Cavillia is more a republic due to the decades long absence of a monarch and the rise of the Gonfaloniere Justice. In turn the Kingdom of Cavillia is one of the many successor states to the Vartherranian Empire, established in turn as a successor to the city-state Kingdom of Themos. The long line of successions begins during the great Leviathan War between the ancients of Themos and the Leocosians cities, a war in which cause the great collapse of the Bronze Kings. One of the many casualties was the city of Themos which lost the war by it’s almost two decades end.

Despite the fall of Themos some did survive, amongst the survivors was the Themosian prince Varian, son of Lyos, who would go on to found an empire on the Elesian Peninsula. Varian founded the city of Vartherra, later known as Varia after the Groheran invasion and settlement of northern Elesia, which would become the capital of the empire which was later to come. Of Varian’s lineage did see thirteen kings sit upon the throne of Varia, but after the thirteenth a mighty republic did arise and saw the age of the Vartherranian Republic. But even such a republic did crumble to the days of the Vartherranian Empire, but even that too would fade to the edges of history.

During the rise of the Vartherranian Empire the world came into contact with the presence of the Fairies, a powerful race of magic wielders and world-shapers, for they in fact had shaped many worlds since the dawn of time. The most powerful amongst these fairies was a beautiful enchantress by the name of Morgana; her people were called the Quelverdi, for the green forests of which they became famous, or infamous, for inhabiting. Morgana quickly became allies with the Vartherranian Emperors, earning herself the small kingdom of “Paese Verde” or the Kingdom of Green. However, this small keep would not be enough for the powerful Morgana… for Morgana needed more. It was during the 237 AV (“Anni del Velo”, or more formally “Anni Dopo il Velo,” meaning “years after the Veil”) that the Fae of Morgana’s court attacked the Empire, beginning the Fae Wars of Conquest, aka the Eight Hundred Years’ War, seeing the brutal end of the Vartherranian Empire.

Basically I was inspired by history and Italian folklore to create this weird miss matching world. I also have been really on a "what if the Feywild invaded our world" kick so I have that in a couple of my projects, including this one. Also Morgan le Fay does exist in Italy though her name is changed to Fata Morgana, so I miss matched the names to become Morgana le Fay. Mostly because I wanted her to feel foreign to the setting but also close enough as to where she's adopted many names and many languages. So uhhh enjoy?

Malvekia wrote:Leiland Reconstruction and Stabilisation International Mission (LERSIM) Developments

[nation]The Lafari[/ntion] or [nationmpire of Dabiristan[/nation]
[nation]Of Centralist Brexit[/ation]]
It has come to the attention of LERSIM of the recent escalation in conflict regarding the situation in the Aisladan continent. While LERSIM is adamantly opposed to this escalation of conflict that has resulted in the avoidable loss of lives and unwarranted destruction, it has been highlighted to LERSIM command regarding the belligerents of this conflict also being involved in the LERSIM operation as well. Specifically, the participation of the Islamic Federation of The Lafari and the Kingdom of Cardonia on opposing sides of the Aisladan conflict has presented a unique challenge for LERSIM's overall objectives of preventing potential conflict between the two sides in Leiland while also carrying out its mandate of reconstruction in the midst of a fragile stablity and teetering political and social environment. Pending formal communications of commitment by their respective governments to non-aggression to the opposing parties while conducting their respective operations in participation of LERSIM, active participation of on-ground volunteers and peacekeepers of The Lafari and Cardonia has been suspended temporarily, and will be relegated to modified support operations in the meantime.

LERSIM hopes that level heads may prevail despite the ongoing conflict within Aislada between the two belligerents, and they may still be willing to commit to the mission of LERSIM of rebuilding Leiland and providing humanitarian assistance for its citizens as demanded by its mandate. However, should their respective governments decide to withdraw support and manpower from LERSIM, it shall be done without objection, and LERSIM will seek other methods to supplement lost equipment or manpower from other willing parties.

  • The Malvekian government has further updated the number of Leilish refugees seeking sanctuary in Malvekia to 34,400 refugees, a sharp increase compared to the past month although reports have estimated at least 75,000 arriving in Malvekia for asylum purposes. As stated before, they will be redirected in refugee centers until further notice, where the necessary housing, and essential necessities will be provided for their stay.

  • The sudden arrival of such a large number of refugees will strain existing resouces the Malvekian government has in cleanup and reconstruction efforts ongoing in its own territories. The issue has been brought up to the Prime Minister's Office, where it is being discussed currently.

  • On-the-ground security, volunteer, and active peacekeeping efforts of Cardonia [natf Centralist Brexit[/ntion] volunteers has been suspended indefinitely pending formal communications with the Cardonian government.

  • On-the-ground volunteer efforts of [ntion=long]The Lafari[/nan] volunteers has been suspended indefinitely pending formal communications with the the Lafari government.

  • Cleanup efforts have largely been completed in most population centers, although several outlying coastal communities remain stuck behind collapsed bridges, roads or landslides.

  • Local shops and businesses now begin reopening under security guarantees of LERSIM peacekeepers and local law enforcement presence.

  • Under the LERSIM initiative, the Malvekian government has shipped in 75.0 tonnes of wheat food to be distributed for humanitarian causes.

  • Curfew lifted in Sorno island after firebombing suspects apprehended, police weaponry seized.

  • [nation]Atroction]n civilian volunteers lightly injured while clearing debris, treated on-site without further need of hospitalisation.

  • Telecommunications and Internet infrastructure largely restored in Taarstup island.

  • Reports of dysentery outbreak in Valborg island. Medical volunteers dispatched.

  • Local government institutions have been largely restored in many population centers.

  • A coordinated sweep of LERSIM peacekeepers aimed to disrupt black market activity across Leiland has resulted in the arrest of 31 individuals, one of whom a local official and another five local law enforcement officers, and announced the seizure of 3 tonne of LERSIM humanitarian supplies from falling into black market hands.

  • A notable increase in numbers of Leilish locals stage protests in front of Leilish government offices due to inadequate post-disaster response by Leilish government. Disorderly conduct reported but no arrests made.

  • A temporary parliament session is held in a conference room of the President's Office in Taarstup. Of the total 99 seats in parliament, only 42 MPs attend, with 55 MPs confirmed dead and 3 remain missing, including President Jyland Poertven.

  • In the parliament session, the remaining MPs attend the swearing in of Henrik Nielsen into presidency given the prolonged absence of President Poertven, and will now take up the tasks of presidency from his predecessor.

  • Given the suspicious findings of inferior building materials, shoddy construction, and the involvement of Beschel Group Incorporated by the fact-finding team, LERSIM has appointed an investigative committee, hereby deemed the Cassius Committee after the head of the committee Malvekian Senior Public Prosecutor Ghian Cassius, to lead the investigations into this matter.

  • The death toll post-Hurricane Scylla has been updated to 13,700, with approximately 11,000 still missing.

The humaniratian aid provided to Malvekia are given approval to continue their work. It also clarifies that it will function fully within LERSIM, including cooperating with the Cardonians in helping with reconstruction efforts of Malvekia. The current war should not effect the current aid being provided to a neutral third party.

Atrochan news, WSBC-ERNI. Wednesday, January 10, 2034.

In an unexpected twist, on January 9, the liberal-leaning Parliamentary Republican Party, the Social Party's historic ally, announced that it would propose its own candidate for prime minister, the young economist Daniel Mejía. This announcement came as a shock to the Opposition, as it was believed that the PRP would support the Social Party as the nationalists would support the National Party.

Lidia Vélez, leader of the Social Party, expelled the Parliamentary Republicans from the Counter-Government, while the far-left Labor Union said it would support Vélez's candidacy.

On January 8, both the Atrocha Nationalist Party and the Democrats announced their support for Rodrigo Sosa's candidacy for prime minister if he is victorious in the June elections. Many predict the fall of the left in the face of a united right. The Social Diversity Movement has not yet communicated its support, while the Federal Party, led by Demetrio Psaras, announced in December 2033 that it will support the "Party that seeks the best situation for the Deltans".

The Ministry of the Interior announced that all maritime trade with the provinces of Somé and Playabán and the territory of Goya will be suspended due to the war situation in Aislada. According to the measures taken, the transport will be carried out by land, with the ships arriving in Estandé and then crossing by land through the Illirican Mezzogiorno to the river port of Somé. This situation could severely affect the economic life of the Overseas Provinces, which are already affected by the restrictions of navigation in the Sea of Prosperidad by the Kingdom of the Church.

There will only be an emergency supply line, by military vessels and bulk food supplies, on the Demetric by means of cabotage, without going out to sea, passing along the coasts of Malvekia until crossing the Kylondia Pass.

As for the island of Vikonna and the territory of Lower Viconia, under the military jurisdiction of the Captaincy General of Joné, a curfew has been announced in the Northeast District, where the cities of Ribera (formerly Vikonna City) and Borja (formerly Borgand) have reported "suspicious armed uprisings" that according to the Ministry of the Interior, they are "being controlled." On the island of Gayola, tomorrow the intendants assigned by the central government to the provinces of the island will arrive in Santa Dominica.

There have been many protests in the streets of Corales, Prata, Seaburgo, and mainly, Graia, about the end of the conflict in Aislada. On 1 January, the conflict between the nations of Omonia and Klonazepam began, although on 2 January Klonazepam surrendered to Omonia, which did not stop an intervention by the Islamic Federation of the Lafari, an internal armed conflict in Klonazepam and the naval confrontation of the powers of Valsora.

Some protests are in front of the Lafari Embassy and others in front of the Omonian Embassy, while public opinion is divided. Many defend Omonian aggression, mainly the Republic's Deltan ethnic group, which makes up 28% of the population. On the other hand, several jurists claim that Lafari's intervention was "in pursuit of the right of self-determination of peoples" despite the fact that the Klonazepam regime was repressive and undemocratic.

However, Atrocha declares its neutrality to the conflict, being the first nation to do so. But, unlike others, the government has not condemned or singled out either side, and trade has not stopped. Omonia is in charge of power distribution in the Eastern Provinces and is a nation highly respected by the Deltan ethnic group, while Lafari is the main supplier of oil and gas. Due to the dire consequences of leaning to one side, diplomatic personnel from both countries and their allies, as well as their investments, bank accounts, and products can enter and leave Atrocha as they please.

On 5 January, the Free Association of Deltan Peoples submitted a bill to parliament to suspend trade with Lafari, but the parliamentary commission in charge called it "stupidity" and shelved it. Likewise, Imam Mohamed Rashid, of the mosque of the small Islamic community in Dalónica, called on the government to stop the financing of Atrochans to the Omonian side, but his statements were rejected by the Superintendency of Banks: laissez faire.

While the public eye is divided in this conflict on a global scale, Atrocha remains a beacon of prosperity, allowing Valsora's economic freedom. However, the Ministry of Commerce has sent warnings for ships to use other trade routes to avoid crossing through Aislada, such as the End of the World route (so called because it is located in the southern confines of Valsora: the southern strait of Orientalis, the southern islands of Solitas and the south of Unistan). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will talk to the nation of Yukkira to be able to use its ports.
