Election Results: 2324 All-Mars Parliamentary Elections

Elections for the Mars Union Parliament were conducted on 160/048, aka June 9 2324 (Gregorian), or 4 Cancer 459 (Darian). Elections were conducted using single transferable vote from 69 multi-member constituencies, with each constituency electing between three and nine MPs. All 349 seats were up for election.

Constituencies are drawn based on criteria of geographic contiguity, compactness, respect for preexisting administrative boundaries, and with the aim of creating five-member constituencies (with the total size of the parliament reflecting the cube root rule). Certain districts with overly large or overly small populations may elect more or less than five members; but districts may not elect less than three or more than nine members. Only minor adjustments in district boundaries were introduced since the previous election, and the size of the parliament was increased by 3 members to reflect population change.

Results

With a turnout of 28.9 million, or about 68%, the result was a victory for the center-left coalition led by the All-Mars Social Democratic Party, who renewed their coalition agreement with Martian Progressive Party and and the Tomorrow! party. General Secretary Liu hailed the election as "yet another vindication of milquetoast center-left reformism that excites nobody," though to what extent he was being sarcastic, no one observing could quite say.

Constituency Boundaries

The above map shows the planetwide constituencies used in the election. The non-shaded region is the Southern Highlands-Arcadia Planitia-Amazonis Planitia constituency, a "catch-all" constituency for regions of the planet that are otherwise too sparsely populated for reasonable constituency boundaries to be drawn.

Spectember D1: Adaptive Radiation

Mars was among the most important core colonies of humanity for a long time of its primordial interstellar age, terraformed and maintained by a rudimentary “planetary life support” system to keep its earth like environment but unfortunately that did not stop the erosive nature of solar wind making the ecosystem to decay, and as the solar system started to fade out of the human galactic influence of power this only got worse becoming into a forgotten relic of better times that accomplished its goal, that had to eventually die.

It was not until the arrival of the proper methods to keep planets almost permanently habitable thanks to the “Planetary meta engineering” thousands of years later that mars finally was given a stable habitable form with technologies that allowed the start of its own geological activity preserving a proper magnetic field and so its atmosphere.

From there little of the original first wave of life preserved apart of a handful of survivors of the early ecosystem: gastropods, crustaceans, grass, worms, lots of lichen and algae species and one single species of tetrapod still alive: Bibrons’s geckos (Pachydactylus bibronii), resilient little reptiles which were thrown alongside others vertebrates on the terraforming days to fill up the new habitable planet, but upon the severe degradation of the Martian ecosystem they became the last ones standing.

For matters of conservative view mars was not reinstalled with more fauna apart of the one that survived, more as a symbol of the resilience of the life that could endure the hostile times, millions of years passed and the humans that once lived there have long vanished and left the world being inherited by the small squamates.

15 million years at least, and the Martian fauna looks like a reincarnation of the early Triassic, specially in what was once the Argyre basin now holds the main biodiversity of Martian geckos, all descendant of that single species, with nothing to compete but small beetles and large snails they just turned the chances on diversify in different sizes and feeding habits eventually specializing in considerable new forms, the beginning of different diverse dynasties of a probably long-lasting habitable Mars.

Christian Iconography relating to marriage

Icon as Christ as a Bridegroom

Christ the Bridgegroom is symbolic of marriage within the Orthodox Church. The ropes that bind his hand are a universal symbol of marriage within the Orthodox Church, symbolising the unification of the souls under the marriage. The reed, a symbol of humility in relationships, and his crown a symbol of Christ as the head of families and relationships.

Christ as Pantokrator

Christ as Pantokrator is a common wedding gift, symbolising the rule of Christ over relationships

St. Argyre

St. Argyre the New Martyr is the patron saint of marriage, one who was killed in order to respect her marriage vows. She if often called upon to find a spouse, and to strengthen the current relationship.

Priscilla and Aquila

St. Priscilla and St. Aquilla are two married Saints themselves named in the New Testament. St. Aquilla is traditionally listed among the 70 disciples of Christ who lived with St. Paul the Apostle. The two saints are referred to as the patron Saints of Love and Marriage and the strength they gave to the early churches was based on their love for eachother.

Saint Basil the Elder and his wife Saint Emmelia 

St. Basil and St. Emmelia are two Orthodox Christians who greatly influenced Christian history. Of their 9 children, 5 are remembered as Saints, many of them being influential in theology and patristic writings. They are the perfect example of a godly marriage and family.

St. Xenia of St. Petersburg

St. Xenia of St. Petersburg was a Saint who wrote widely on the impacts and theology surrounding marriage, specifically she wrote about equality in marriage. In every marriage the love between spouses is manifested by the mutual offering of emotional and material support of each other. St. Xenia's believes on love are incredibly influential.

SS. Anne and Joachim

Ss. Joachim and Anna serve as a model for marriage, Mary the Mother of God is the fruit of their marriage. They also serve as a great example of a model relationship, with them coping with and dealing with the trials and struggles of infertility.

The Theotokos

In the context of a wedding, the Prescence of the Theotokos serves as a reminder of the importance of marriage union, and the sacred bond between spouses.

Wedding Feast at Cana

The Wedding Feast at Cana is a clear example of a happy wedding, one of praise and celebration that Christ himself was present at. The depth of celebration, praise for the couple but Christ himself too is a perfect example of what a wedding should be.

Iconography of the song of songs

It is much harder to find, and not widespread, but iconography of the Song of Songs is perfect for a wedding, not only symbolising the love between spouses, but the love between mortal and divine.

[e1dritchqueer]

Callisto and Io infodump

Okay okay okay okay, I feel like I need to talk about Io and Callisto from last Beam Saber session or else I'm gonna fucking combust jesus fucking christ AAA

Callisto: My player character. She's an Ascencian pilot who has trapped under the facade of a dead and legendary pilot. The previous pilot, Argyre died and Callisto, a city rat and a conscript, someone who, according to Ascencian fascist rhetoric, should by no means be able to pilot a mech somehow inexplicably bonded with it. She's been forced to become the pilot known as Wraith (Argyre's callsign) and to pilot its fearsome mech, The Wraith of Deimos (We'll refer to it as Deimos). Only recently has Callisto escaped the hold of the Ascencians and now, with Deimos, find herself as a part of a roving mercenary band. Now, while she was imprisoned under the Ascencians, she was forced to play the role of Argyre, under Ascencian rhetoric, Argyre was not dead. And internally, Callisto was only a placeholder till they could find a "proper" Pilot to officially assume the role of the Wraith. No one knew about Callisto, Argyre's death, or the fact Callisto was the Wraith now. And those that did got killed (Illia's old crew). Even free from the Ascencians, Callisto tries to keep a low profile, not knowing how to tell everyone that she didn't somehow steal Deimos, she was (and is) its pilot.

Callisto's wants in this game were simple. Callisto more than anything wants to run. She wants to escape the war and leave, an impossible goal that she has reached for her entire life.

Callisto and Deimos' relationship has been an interesting one. They do not know why they are bonded only that they are. They are the two-become-one known as Wraith. Each is afraid of the other but that fear has transformed into a fearful intimacy. Callisto saw the Deimos as just another part of The Wraith's constricting identity but has since realized that Deimos is just as restrained as her.

Their bond, like all bonds with what's known as "Awakened Frames" (Culturally called Leviathans where Callisto comes from) (awakened frames are essentially like the Gundam/EVAs of this setting. They are terrifying.) allows them to do something impossible. In their case, it is capable of opening a "door" into a mysterious pocket dimension known as The Red. It is something old, something Callisto both sees danger and safety in, something she is trying to understand. (also this is why red is like... a massive motif for callisto). Argyre was also capable of the very same power. While Callisto uses The Red to run, Argyre used The Red as a weapon.

Cool now you're caught up to speed on my beloved wet dog of a girl and her it/its trans girl of a mech.

Now, last session, which you can get a vibe of from my liveblog of it, the party went to a ball for the "season 1 finale" of the Beam Saber campaign. Callisto was asked to dance by a girl named Io (JOVIAN MOON MOTIF). It was lovely. They both got to dance unrestrained from the expectations and roles of war forced upon them, simply enjoying each other as each other and getting to cherish that. Stepping out of the ballroom and onto a balcony, they get closer, physically and emotionally. talking bit about their life. They both feel like dogs in an unending war, tired of losing people in the war, and wanting to escape it all. They feel a tenderness and closeness with each other. It's lovely. They're glad, that even in the midst of this terrible war, they have met each other, and through that feel a bit of solace. It feels like Io is going to move in to kiss Callisto, but before that, Io gives her an offer. "Come escape with me Callisto. We can leave the ring. Leave the war. We can be at peace.

I just need to finish this one job.

I just need to kill the Wraith

I checked the frame registry. It's here. I don't know where the pilot, is, I haven't seen him, but if I can just destroy that terrible machine I'll be at peace. We can escape together.

Callisto is in shock, she's stumbling over words, a jumble of "W-what do you mean?"s and "H-huh?"s.

"I can't be at peace while the Wraith is still living... It killed my mentor. Took one of the few people I cared about. I just need to destroy it... Then... Then I can escape with you... We could leave this war for good"

Callisto wants to take that offer. She so desperately wants to leave this war. Abandon it all and everyone. But she can't. Not at that cost. A younger Callisto would have taken that chance in a heartbeat, a Callisto utterly terrified of Deimos. But Callisto, though still terrified of her Leviathan, is too connected to Deimos for her to abandon it anymore. She didn't realize this till this moment, but she cares too much about Deimos to allow it to be harmed.

She steps back as Io tries to lean in closer. "I-im sorry I-i think I really have to go..."

Callisto beings to stumble her way from the balcony, reaching her hand out to the ballroom door "I'm sorry... I-Im just not the girl you're looking for". The doorway opens. But it's not the ballroom door that opens.

The last thing Callisto sees is Io's dawning face of horror as she watches Callisto fall into The Red.

The Wraith's red.

The thing is, Callisto was wrong, she was the right girl... Just for all the wrong reasons....

[orthodoxadventure]

coming valentine day i want to reveal to a certain girl how i really feel. she's very special but as always self-doubt and second guessing keep messing with my thoughts. please, please pray for us both

Of course! I will keep you in my prayers, and I would also recommend praying the Akathist to Saint Xenia of Saint Petersburg who is known for helping someone to find a pious spouse. It would be good also to pray it for her benefit as well.

I would also recommend the following prayer, it would be good also to pray it for her also.

All-Good and Merciful Lord, I know that any enduring happiness in my life dependeth upon my wholehearted love for Thee and upon mine actions according to Thy holy will in all things; wherefore, direct my soul, O God, and fill my heart. I seek to please Thee alone, for Thou art my Creator and my God. Preserve me from pride and self-love. Let reason, modesty and chastity adorn me. Idleness is hateful unto Thee and breedeth vice; grant unto me the inclination to be fruitful in labor, and bless Thou my work. Thy law commandeth that man and wife live in chaste matrimonial union; wherefore lead me, Holy Father, to this blessed calling not for the satisfaction of passions but unto the fulfillment of Thy commandment; for Thou hast said that it is not good that man should live alone and, having created woman as his helper, Thou blessest them to be fruitful and multiply that they may fill the earth. Hear my humble prayer, which ascendeth unto Thee from the depths of my heart: Grant unto me an honest and pious spouse that, through our love and harmony, together we may praise Thee, our Compassionate God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
