A little list of my Prythian worldbuilding headcanons:

The smokehounds in Autumn have the best sense of smell and many are trained to track different things.  Some of hunting dogs, some are trained to smell out the black blood of monsters, while others are trained to look for fungi.  Yep, fungi.  Mushrooms and truffles are very valuable and are one of Autumn’s prized exports.  Some are magical, some just taste really really good.

During the War, Tamlin’s father cut down all of the trees in the north part of Spring to spot any enemies.  After the War, he planted an entire forest north of the Wall and forbade his people to go in it.

The High Fae with both Spring and Autumn heritage have the power to control the air temperature (so a mix of fire and wind powers)

Spring fae are hired in Autumn to tend rich High Fae’s lawn and blow leaves into the compost

There is a hot / cold sauna on the border of Summer and Winter.  The Summer side has a refreshing pool and cold plunge room, while Winter has a hot tub and sauna.

Winter and Dawn have the highest population of lesser fae

Most of the Winter Court towns are on the border of Autumn and Summer, or along the two coasts. Winter fae will often vacation in Autumn to appreciate the colors and warmer weather (Summer gets too hot).

Winter has a lot of volcanos on the border of the Middle (picture Iceland). Many farms have built greenhouses out of the volcano heat so they can grow produce. There are wild fruits that grow naturally in Winter too, like frost pears, white rime radishes, and snow turnips. Pine cones, nettles, reindeer meat, and wild berries are also Winter delicacies.

Summer and Day have the highest production of coffee.  

Day and Dawn have the highest production of tea

Night and Winter are the least populated Courts

Summer’s and Winter’s biggest export in fish.  Autumn also produces fish but not as frequently. Winter has ice fishing, Autumn has river fishing, and Summer’s are ocean

The north of Winter and south of Dawn are mountainous and often have monsters from the Middle sneaking over the border

Most citizens of Dawn will wake up early in the morning to experience the Court’s beautiful sunrises.  6-8 is the average bedtime and 2-4 is the average waking time

Night rarely trades with the outside, but they occasionally trade with Day. Most of their trade is of metals / weapon production.

There is a direct connection between the expansion of [...] new [coffee] consumer culture in Europe [...] and the expansion of plantation slavery in the Caribbean. [...] [S]lave-based coffee was more important to the Dutch [Netherlands] economy than previously [acknowledged] [...]. [T]he phenomenal growth of [plantation slavery in] Saint Domingue [the French colony of Haiti] was partly made possible by the export market along the Rhine that was opened up by the Dutch Republic. [...] [E]arly in the eighteenth century, the Dutch and French began production in their respective West Indian colonies [...]. [C]offee was still a very exclusive product in Europe. [...] From the late 1720s, [...] in the Netherlands [...] coffee was especially widespread [...]. From the late 1750s the volume of Atlantic coffee production [...] increased significantly. It was at that time that the habit of drinking coffee spread further inland [...] [especially] in Rhineland Germany [...] [and] inland Germany [due to Dutch shipments via the river].

Although its consumption may not have been as widespread as the tea-sugar complex in Britain, there certainly was a similar ‘coffee-sugar complex’ in continental Europe [...] spread during the eighteenth century [...]. The total amount of coffee imported to Europe (excluding the Italian [...] trade) was less than 4 million pounds per year during 1723–7 and rose to almost 100 million pounds per year around 1788 [...]. In 1790 [...] almost half of the value of [Dutch] exports over the Rhine [to Germany] was coffee. [...]

---

The rising prices in the 1760s encouraged more investment in coffee in Dutch Guiana and the start of new plantations in Saint Domingue [Haiti]. Production in Saint Domingue skyrocketed and surpassed all the others, so that this colony provided 60% of all the coffee in the world by 1789. [Necessitating more slave labor. The Haitian revolution would manifest about a decade later.] [...]

In French historiography, the ‘Dutch problems’ are considered to be the slave revolts (the Boni-maroon wars) [at Dutch plantations]. [...] France made use of the Dutch ‘troubles’ to expand its market share and coffee production in Saint Domingue [Haiti], which accelerated at an exponential rate. [...]

---

[T]he Dutch Guianas [were] producing over a third of the coffee consumed in Europe [...] [by] 1767. [...] The Dutch flooded the Rhine region with coffee and sugar, creating a lasting demand for both commodities, as the two are typically consumed together. [...] [T]he history of the slave-based coffee production in Surinam and Saint Domingue [Haiti] was pivotal in starting the mass consumption of coffee in Europe. [...] Slave-based coffee production was also crucial [...] in Brazil during the 'second slavery', where slavery existed on an enormous scale and was reshaped in the world's biggest coffee producing country [later] during the nineteenth century. [...] The Dutch merchant-bankers organised coffee investment, enslavement, and planting and selling; [all] while not leaving the town of Amsterdam [...].

[This market] expansion ends in crisis [...] - a crisis caused by uprisings and revolutions, most notably, the Haitian one. Yet Germans still liked coffee. And the Dutch colonial merchant-banker[s] [...] learned something about [...] production, and perhaps also something about the role of the state in labour control: as soon as they could, they sent Johannes van der Bosch [Dutch governor-general of the East Indies] to Surinam and Java in order to solve the labour issues and expand the colonial production of coffee [by imposing in Java the notoriously brutal cultuurstelsel "enforced planting" regime, followed later by the "Coolie Ordinance" laws allowing plantation owners to discipline "disobedient" workers, with millions of workers on Java plantations, lasting into the twentieth century].

[probablyasocialecologist]

If Ugandans have a social safety net, it is woven from banana fibers, and if there is a clear path to socialism, it will be lined with banana leaves. The lusuku model, premised on intercropping and smallholder farming, could be the basis for national agrarian reform that improves the lives of Uganda’s agricultural workers without accelerating the destruction of the natural environment. Uganda faces increasing difficulty feeding itself because of climate extremes and land degradation, and this affects farmers more significantly than anyone else. Moreover, since the 1990s, the ruling National Resistance Movement regime sold off and dismantled most of the coffee, tea, and cotton growers cooperatives, leaving smallholder farmers in the hands of the predatory middlemen which cooperatives had been established to protect them against. Unable to collectively bargain and exposed to dramatic fluctuations in the market prices for cash crops, many people left rural areas to search for employment in cities. This has been a driving force behind the massive inequality between rural and urban workers. Ugandans now produce more food than they consume, even exporting to other countries in the region, yet 41% of people are undernourished, and agricultural production has decreased over the last 20 years. For the most part, the strategy pursued by Uganda’s government has been to encourage the development of ecologically disastrous intensive agriculture for export, privileging foreign investors rather than developing the infrastructure that would benefit peasants. Indeed, while more than 70% of Ugandans are employed in agriculture, the sector only receives around 4% of public investment, and projects aimed at helping smallholder farmers have had very little success, even by their own standards. Many of the government’s investments in agriculture very clearly advantage larger landowners, to the detriment of the poorest farmers. For example, most of the government’s investment in labor-saving technologies has been spent on tractors, which are great for large plots but largely unaffordable or unsuitable for the average farmer, whose plot is usually between 1-3 acres large. However, a socialist transition premised on agroecological reforms could make use of the existing lusuku model to create the kind of growth that actually improves poor farmers’ lives without destroying their environment. This could begin with reestablishing cooperatives and engineering agricultural prices around social needs and goals, like guaranteeing access to food. Research from around the world has shown that while large, monocrop plantations are good at producing huge volumes of one crop, smallholder farms are more productive when evaluated on a per-unit area and are capable of securing national food sovereignty. Why, for example, should Ugandans buy rice imported from Pakistan or Vietnam when banana intercropping yields more calories per hectare than rice? Lusukus could feed the nation without relying on foreign experts, development aid, or the capital-intensive inputs now being imported to grow for export. Because lusukus are far better for the soil, they also improve the nation’s capacity to resist severe floods and drought, effects of climate change that hit poor farmers hardest. In these ways, the lusuku model could provide a sustainable path to socialist development.

well... i got hyperfixated on antique china

anyway heres my fanart of a Meissen teacup! this came from a tea and coffee service created around 1740-45. Most likely hard-paste as Meissen was the first European company to begin producing hard-paste porcelain (China had been producing and exporting for decades before), the designs are very rococo-inspired, and while not pictured on this specific teacup this service was patterned with tiny insects all along the body of the coffee and tea pots, tea caddies, and saucers.

basically i just want to paint some porcelain ok

Saligia kingdoms as real life countries Pt.2

Good day, my esteemed Concordians. I trust this moment finds you in good health and high spirits. Here I am, once again with the last part of the lesson about how "The Creator" copied has taken inspiration from the Earth and created Saligia. I'm not going to take attendance today, so let's get started my dears.

Kingdom of Avari - Japan

Avari, Land of Fire. Home of our beloved Guy who couldn't care less for his fanclub lol. He is a mood. Back to the kingdom, settled by an ambitious people who are blessed by the abundance this volcanic land provides. Rich with underground resources, this is a powerful kingdom. Many veins of valuable ore run through the land, which makes Avarians excellent metalsmiths and crafters of magical weapons. Their most famous export is red coffee.

So why Japan? Japan is a volcanic archipelago with abundant mineral resources and a history of expertise in metallurgy, especially in the crafting of swords and tools (like katanas). Additionally, although coffee culture is relatively recent, there has always been a strong tradition of beverages such as tea and sake.

Kingdom of Luxure - France

Luxure, just hearing the name of this kingdom makes you go bankrupt. Luxure, you would think is the Land of Luxury, but nope, it actually is the Land of Lakes, and home to our favourite womanizer/maneater Fenn (even his name sounds luxurious). Anyway, back to the topic, selected for its vibrant landscape, this land is favored by those that seek pleasure. The fields of art and entertainment flourish in this kingdom, which is also known for its unique attitude towards love and marriage. Here, any one person can be married to multiple other people at the same time. The local specialty here is blue wine.

And what does Luxure has to do with France? Well, actually A LOT. France is known for its vibrant artistic scene, its liberal approach to love and relationships (being a culture open to diverse forms of expression in love), and its tradition of high-quality wines. Similar to Spain, France is another nation with a great sense of fashion, being directly the birthplace of haute couture. All these characteristics have endowed France with unparalleled popularity on a global scale. Fenn would LOVE this place.

Kingdom of Voleri - Italy

Voleri, Land of Plenty. This fertile region was chosen for its ability to feed its citizens' voracious appetites (we have seen it with Rio). This expansive land is known for its agriculture, producing the most food of any kingdom in the magical realm. However, Volerians lack economic trade agreements, which puts them at a disadvantage power- wise. Famous products include Volerian wheat.

Okay, this is another case of a difficult kingdom to identify on Earth, It could try to mimic Argentina. Argentina is a country with vast fertile lands, known for its agricultural production, especially cereals like wheat, and it has faced economic challenges despite its natural wealth. BUT, in my opinion, Italy is the best match for Voleri. Italy boasts vast farmland, rolling green hills, and fertile lands that produce wheat, grapes, olives, and more. Regions like Tuscany and Puglia stand out for the natural beauty of their rural landscapes, where agriculture lies at the heart of the economy and culture, much like in Voleri. Additionally, Italy is renowned for its love of food, with a cuisine that celebrates fresh, local ingredients. Italians are also known for their hospitality and their cheerful, open nature, doesn't that reminds you of our beloved Rio?

Kingdom of Ira - Arabia

Ira, also known as the Land of Deserts. An indignant people opted for this ideal battleground from which to win every fight. An indignant people opted for this ideal battleground from which to win every fight. Surrounded by desert and with few natural resources, the Irian people have focused on enhancing their military might. They have little exportable products, keeping their kingdom afloat through mercenary work instead. I mean, I'm sure it's a beautiful kingdom, but it does sound kinda scary (the mercenary work part took me out).

Now, what does Ira has to do with Arabia? Both Ira and Arabia are defined by vast deserts that create a harsh and challenging environment. These lands are tough, arid, and demand great resilience to survive, symbolizing the strength of their inhabitants. Additionally, Arabia has historically held strategic importance due to its geographical location. So yeah, they are pretty similar.

Isle of Colde - Malta

Finally, our pretty little island. Isle of Colde, the Keeper of Peace. This island was formed in hopes of never bringing war and tragedy to the magical realm again. The Royal Academy of Concordia is located on this politically neutral island. Each kingdom must send their princes here to this microcosm of the magical realm, which serves as a symbol of peace.

And you know what? Exactly! This island has also been pretty difficult to summarize in just one country, but I tried my best. Okay, essentially, it resembles Switzerland more closely. Switzerland is famous for its political neutrality, its focus on peace, and for being a meeting point for diplomats and international students. The idea of a "microcosm" where people from different places gather also mirrors Switzerland as the host of international organizations. Furthermore, its role as a symbol of peace fits perfectly with the image of a neutral and safe place. However, aesthetically, one could say that the best comparison for Colde would be another island, this time called Malta. Malta, as a small island in the Mediterranean, has a long history of serving as a meeting point for various cultures, which aligns with the concept of a neutral place. Malta has been a melting pot of European, Arab, and Mediterranean cultures, and although small, it possesses a unique beauty with its coastlines, historic architecture, and colorful landscapes, making it an ideal location for diplomacy.

And well, that’s all, dear ones. I hope you’ve enjoyed this masterclass about our world and its foundations. Now, back to your studies, you wouldn’t want to end up in section C and get expelled, would you? Bye-bye! Kisses!

Author's note: Again, obviously, none of this information has been confirmed by the developers and creators of the game; it’s just the opinion of a girl who’s way too bored, despite having too many things to do.

Green coffee beans and tea leaves exporters, 2020.

[earthbovndmisfit]

✩, ◉!

It's Ship Development Time y'all! @icouldbemoreclever

✩ what is their go-to food when they want to have a treat together?

In their og setting: On their own, I feel like Robert is fond of pastries, especially those with berries, or those with a lemony taste, since he likes the contrast between sweet and tart. In Jonathan's case, we know he loves chocolate, so I feel like he'd enjoy chocolate cake a lot. The more chocolatey it is, the better! And so, together, I think they'd mash both sides and go for chocolate cake topped with berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries -ik those can't be scientifically classified as berries but lets pretend they are 🤫️). Add a nice cup of tea or coffee and there you have it!

I also think they would want to try their hands at baking said cake at least once instead of buying it or asking the kitchen staff at Jona's house to make it for them. They likely make a huge mess all over the kitchen the first time, with both ending up covered in flour, dough, and chocolate lol, and the cake isn't very good either (way too chocolatey per Jonathan's request of course lol), but they had a lot of fun making it, so it definitely would be worth it in the end.

In a Modern setting: I don't know why, but I feel like they would enjoy stuff like smoothies and bubble tea (the standard type of tea, but I think they'd also enjoy the one that's made with yoghurt). They would be in for trying different flavors every time too!

◉ what hobbies do they do together? if they prefer parallel play what sort of tasks and hobbies do they like to do in each other's company?

They do a balanced mix of both, doing hobbies together and parallel play too!

Their parallel play oftentimes involve but are not limited to reading, writing, or just studying, especially taking into consideration not only the times Jonathan is doing archaeological research, but also the fact that Speedwagon likely starts getting some form of education at one point there, and so he'd have plenty of stuff to study too. I headcanon that Jonathan can play the piano btw! So I'm all for the idea of his piano being brought over to the study room/library, this so they can add that to their parallel play. This means: there are times when Jonathan will play soft tunes on the piano while Speebs reads or studies.

Hobbies together totally include (not limited to just these either btw) stuff like working out and training, also hiking, and having picnics. These can be during the day or even at night so they can stargaze together. I hc that Speedwagon knows a few things about constellations and can recognize a lot of them (especially those used for navigation, thanks to his many travels around the world). It is in these night picnics that Speedwagon has taught Jonathan some of what he knows about stars.

Little bonus: This following exchange definitely happened the first time they stargazed together and as Speebs was telling Jona all about those stars in the night skies... Spw: "They are all so beautiful, eh? But I fear they all pale in comparison with my favorite star of 'em all." Jona, curious upon hearing that: "Oh. And which one is that? Can we see it tonight?" Spw, with a smile so full of love turning to look at Jona: "Well, I am lookin' at it right now, darlin'." And to which Jonathan starts giggling, all giddy and blushing at the compliment while Speebs peppers kisses all over his pretty face and seals it all with a soft kiss to his lips.

Back to the piano bit I mentioned earlier and adding to it, I like the idea of Speedwagon discovering and picking up the harmonica for the novelty of it in one of his journeys to either Germany or the US (to my knowledge, harmonicas as we know them today originated there in the early-to-mid 19th century and then they began being exported to America too around mid-to-late 19th century), and so he might not be the best at playing it at first (he gradually gets better at it every time, of course), but that doesn't stop them both from playing something together as a duet sometimes.

Also, I never really see this addressed anywhere, but Jonathan is canonly shown to be pretty good at drawing, so I definitely think he'd draw quite often and would also use Robert as his muse a lot, making portraits of him or just drawing him while he's working hard on his studies or something.

In a modern setting, most of what I just mentioned applies too tbh, with the difference that Robert would also know how to play the electric guitar (yes, this creates some interesting duets there with Jonathan's piano).

In this setting, I also like to think they'd enjoy watching fun B Horror movies from the 80s (the type of movies that are so bad and so absurd that they are good). Stuff along those lines but that also leans towards camp too, like Rocky Horror Picture Show for example and so on. Think of it as some kind of weird homage to their og universe from Phantom Blood in a way 😆️ And yes, they make little marathons every now and then, bringing snacks and watching those movies cuddling in the sofa under a blanket, making comments or jokes all the while and so on and so forth 🤲️💖️

African Treasure: The Story of Rooibos Tea

What do you prefer: tea, coffee? Maybe chicory? Wait, we know – rooibos! Did you guess it? Oh, even if not, TimeTea is sure that you will be interested in reading about where and how this amber-red drink comes from.

So, rooibos (or rooibos) is a herbal tea made from the shoots and leaves of a plant called aspalathus linearis. This specimen belongs to the Legume family and is a shrub up to 1.5 meters in height with small, needle-like leaves.

Aspalathus lineara in its natural form grows exclusively in South Africa – 200 km from Cape Town within the boundaries of the Cederberg mountain range. Today, of course, the plant is cultivated on an industrial scale, but still the plantations do not go beyond the Cederberg Valley. And all for the sake of a pleasant-tasting and energizing drink, which at one time replaced tea for local residents, and then for settlers from Europe.

The first to collect leaves and branches of Aspalatus lineara were the indigenous people – the Hottentot people. Only in the 18th century did the Dutch learn about the plant, and then – closer to the 19th century – the British also caught up. The fact of the “discovery” of rooibos for Europeans is attributed to Carl Peter Thunberg, a Swedish naturalist who was in South Africa on behalf of a Dutch company back in the 1700s. The drink was liked by sophisticated society, and at the beginning of the 20th century they began to export it with might and main. Today, the annual production of rooibos is about 12,000 tons, and half of this is exported.

If you are already tired of coffee and tea or need/want to give up caffeine, rooibos is a great option. It quenches thirst well, tones up, is useful for both adults and children, and can also be drunk without sugar. This herbal tea itself contains a sufficient amount of glucose.

Ready! We’ll dry it and sell it. In addition, rooibos contains enough vitamin C, flavonoids, and a number of minerals. In particular, the flavonoid quercetin has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties. Some studies show the effectiveness of rooibos against mutagens, CNS damage and free radicals. Although we, of course, recommend that if something happens, contact doctors, and not tea sellers.

Today you can find this herbal tea in any form: loose, in bags, in pure form and with additives. They even make so-called espresso from rooibos. In general, be sure to try it if you haven’t already!

Sassafras tea – The spring tonic.

In the spring, many people would make a spring tonic from sassafras root. Native Americans used sassafras tea to purify blood and for a variety of ailments, including skin diseases and rheumatism. The Cherokee would make a poultice to cleanse wounds and sores, while they’d steep the root bark to treat diarrhea or ‘over-fatness.’

The ‘white sassafras’ grows along roadsides in thick clusters, usually from three to six feet tall. The 'red sassafras' is the most prized. Generally found on hills and ridges, it sometimes grows in mountainous areas to a height of thirty or more feet.

Native Americans in Virginia pointed out sassafras to British settlers, and in 1603, a company was formed in England to send two vessels to the New World, to bring back cargoes of sassafras bark. Thus, sassafras was one of the first, if not the first, forest products to be exported from what is now the mid-Atlantic states.

Sassafras tea was one of the more popular beverages at the time, not only because it contained many health benefits, but because it was delicious! The shoots of this trees also gave birth to the original flavor of the soft drink called root beer.

SASSAFRAS TEA:

Wash roots well. Put six dry roots in pan or coffee pot in about a quart of water. Soak overnight. Then place on fire and boil slowly till fairly strong.

Weaken and sweeten to taste. Serves 8.

SASSAFRAS TEA #2:

One small handful of roots, 3-4 inches long, dropped into a 3 quart enamel pan and covered with as much water as desired, depending on the number you wish to serve. Let boil until the tea is dark in color. These roots may be boiled over and over for days as the flavor increases with successive boilings.

VINIMEX 13-YEAR JOURNEY – INSPIRATION FROM AN AGE-OLD AGRICULTURAL TRADITION…

"We cannot choose where we are born, but we can choose how we will live" – This is the philosophy that Ms. Tran Vu Quynh Nhu, Founder and CEO of Vinimex Group, holds dear. Inspired by Vietnam's rich agricultural history spanning over 4000 years, Ms. Nhu has proudly led VINIMEX through a remarkable 13-year journey. Driven by a passion for and gratitude toward the gifts of Mother Nature, VINIMEX has played an integral role in bringing Vietnamese agricultural products to the global market.

Throughout its development, VINIMEX has not only been an agricultural import-export company but also a symbol of love and aspiration for a sustainable agricultural future. From products like cassava, rice, and cashews to coffee, tea, and pepper, VINIMEX has become a strong bridge connecting Vietnamese produce with international markets.

Vietnam, with its diverse climate and soil stretching from North to South, boasts a rich agricultural heritage. The North is distinguished by its four vibrant seasons and the fertile Red River Delta, yielding many valuable products. The Central region, resilient in the face of harsh weather, is a land of arid soil that still bears fruit, where unique agricultural products are highly cherished. The South, with its vast Mekong Delta, is abundant with rice, fruit, and seafood, serving as the nation's food basket.

Starting with a small team of fewer than 10 people, VINIMEX has since grown to a strong force of over 200 employees in key markets such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Philippines.

The 13-year journey is just the beginning – Ms. Nhu and the VINIMEX team continue to look toward the future, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam's agriculture, not only domestically but also globally.
