No, Estonia sounds like a weirdo when he said he wants to join the Nordics (aka the cool kids) and leaving Lithuania and Latvia behind. I mean, yeah sure, having another Nordic member is cool, but Estonia's technically leaving Lithuania and Estonia with Russia (and Russia probably won't accept that decision)
Broke: Turkey is 4000 years old and existed in the form of the Turkic Khaganate
Woke: Turkey is, at oldest, the Ottoman Empire because that was when the identity of the Turkish nation, culture, and people became set in stone
Bespoke: Turkey was a tiny pipsqueak running around for a bit as one of the many Turkic tribes that migrated west before eventually inheriting the power of Seljuk and becoming the Ottoman Empire, so he is old, but he doesn't stretch as far back as the Turkic Khaganate since that's the origin of all Turkic nations and making Turkey the single sole representative of the Khaganate ignores the other Turkic identities and groups that developed from the Khaganate as well. The Turkic Khaganate also does not completely represent the ethnic makeup of Turkish people nowadays, as well as the ethnic makeup of other groups like Tatars and Kazakhs due to interactions with Persia, Mongols, and other Europeans. The reason why Turkey's perceived to be old is most likely his "old man fit" which is really just how any Turkish dude in Turkey dresses
i am so done with this "uwu gay soft boy" thing ppl have pinned on england he is an INCEL who smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day and thinks morrissey is "literally him" get it right
Gosh, I was all like I'll do this it'll be fun and now I'm anxious 👉👈 I'm not good with controversy.
cw mention of incest and ship discourse
I don't really think any of the characters are related except maybe ones that are multiple representing one country (i.e. Romano and Italy representing Italy. Germany and Prussia [since Prussia may be representing East Germany now?]) I can see though how people may think that but I also can see why people don't. Like some consider UkUs incest but others don't while more people just think Franada is. Really what's the main difference between how those 2 ships had interacted with each other? For a long time I really cared about that stuff but now I don't. And if you consider some to be related then wouldn't most of them be related?
This is what popped into my head but I may change or delete this tomorrow since the phrasing might not be the best or I think of another unpopular opinion. This was the only one I could think of at the moment but I know I have others 😂
Just watched “长安三万里”(30 thousand miles from Chang’an). Despite the historical inaccuracies, it has got to be one of the best films I have seen this year, next to across the spiderverse. The animation is compatible, if not, better than Disney. It is almost 3hrs long but I found is really appealing. Your liking towards the movie may depend on your knowledge about the people and the history(everyone in the movie are historical figures apart from background characters). The movie is about the story of a famous poet, “李白/Li Bai” narrated by “高适/Gao Shi”, who in the movie, is a close friend of his. It has a lot of poetry and poet stuff in it. Many famous Tang dynasty poets are included. It’s set in the Tang Dynasty with some stuff about the An Lushan rebellion. Don’t know if it’s available internationally, but it’s worth a watch if your interested in Chinese history and Tang Dynasty poets and poetry.
There will be art soon I swear, I'm working on a really complicated background and also being worked like a slave at uni during the week. Anyway here is an outrageous, deranged post mourning what we lost (hopefully in a funny way). You see Hima made a batshit insane, last minute decision to make Roderich and Gilbert cousins in some random character sheet a few years ago, despite probably knowing PruAus was the most popular pairing for both characters involved...We miss you PruAus never forget PruAus 9/11 💔
