#Territory Status

Territory Status: Day 15

Super Earth forces have reclaimed Cirrus before the bugs could use it as a staging ground to assault Moradesh, and Acamar IV is nearly liberated as well. Well done, troopers! Overall, the Helldivers' efforts to contain the Terminid threat exceed expectations. This comes at a cost, however, as the Automaton front remains in disarray, with all contested planets except Vernen Wells remaining in critical condition, and Vernen is dropping ever so slightly by the day. Without reinforcements, the stalwart soldiers already on the surface will never push back.

In a surprising twist, Terminid reproduction rates have slowed to a crawl across all systems, so low in fact that they can only hold existing ground. Any ground taken by the SEAF will be easy to hold.

That should be all for today. Apologies for the delay! Most of the Super Destroyer staff we relied on as informants were undergoing maintenance, forcing us to take longer corroborating claims by ourselves. This is Michael Adams, signing off for the time being. Give 'em Hell, DIvers!

White clothed calamity: I want Xie Lian to join me or to destroy him

Qi Rong: I want Xie Lian to notice me

Hua Cheng: I want to marry Xie Lian

He Xuan:

He Xuan: who the fuck is Xie Lian!!???

He is just... quietly muttering to himself, "Maybe I should stop caring. Maybe I should not waste my metaphorical breath. Maybe I should just let people be foolish and then say, 'No. I won't help you. I already told you not to. Suffer the consequences alone.' How bad of a doctor would this make me? ... I could simply make an exception if it's actually life-threatening. Perhaps that's more reasonable, hmm..."

while it's common knowledge from my blog existing that i'm a massive fan of bmj, i also have a fondness for series with strange scifi alien worldbuilding in general, and i'd been thinking about invader zim lately - did you guys know that sizz-lorr is a relatively obscure minor character even in a fanbase that functions via latching onto obscure minor characters? because i didn't until i commissioned this! always liked the guy so a massive shoutout to @quimser for causing this highly-specific image to exist

Ohh my God the most recent comic, when it's spelled out like that, speed running paradise, fighting an admiral sun God thing happening way early than any of this should be it's any wonder ace isn't in worse shape in this let alone seeing sabo again because it's two years early and he would probably be fresh into white beard crew im picturing *jinbei the warlord I just finished fighting days on end to exhaustion is joining your crew?* "I give up, it's too much at once, there are to meany others to be more concerned about" their concern on white beards ship should be warning about black beard before the bastard gets the 1st stupid strong devil fruit.

YEYSYEYSYESYEYSYRFSEUDYGTYUHSDOGUHFDGUDFUH!!!!!! Like I drew Ace getting kinda choked up in the second page when listing things because,,, man he really was worried. I dont think he was like losing sleep type worried until he found out Luffy and his gang had a pretty intense encounter with an admiral.

It's only been like 1.5 to 2 years since Ace last left Dawn Island and sparred with Luffy, so even if he's improved a lot, there just cant be any way his 15 year old baby brother would be able to handle an Admiral- HECK he can barely handle an admiral. So when he found out they had an encounter, I assume his stomach just dropped and full on big brother freak out mode started happening.

Like he always had a mild worry niggling in the back of his mind, but Ace has his own adventures and his own nakama now, he's got stuff to do and at the pace Luffy is going at, it seems like explanations will be coming soon anyways.

Luckily this whole admiral encounter thing happened shortly before Luffy found Ace again, because every second Ace was waiting on Whitebeard's ship after he found out about it was another second away from Ace just going completely ballistic and shooting off to find his baby bro. The Whitebeards were real good at getting Ace to just calm down and wait a bit, soo good job to them :D! Though, that like idk,,, week or two??? (im not good with timeframes tbh), that he was just waiting to see if his brother was okay was prolly one of the worst weeks of his life.

U know I really debated if I was making Ace recognise sabo too quickly and if I was making him like too emotional or what not,,, but like YEA HE'S SO CONFUSED AND TIRED AND WORRIED!!!! IF THOSE BROTHERS DONT SPEND THE NEXT HOUR JUST SOBBING AND GRASPING AT EACHOTHER LIKE NO ONE ELSE EXISTS THAN I DONT KNOW WHAT I'LL DO!!!!!!

I was tagged by the awesome @greypetrel ✨thank you so much!! ;u;

Finally, I can draw something unrelated to Art Fight lmao that's so relieving!!

Left: Two potatoes being very pink <3 I'm taking my time with this one because I want to achieve a certain effect but I need to study a couple of things rendering-wise before putting more stuff on paper <<

Right: A wild Luca appears! In the form of rough sketches. I'm torn between two options (we're going for nobiliar / high status costumes), but I do really want to draw a toga so... um... I'll ponder for a moment before finalizing a sketch

Tagging: @herearedragons @dreadfutures @underneathestars & whoever wants to share their stuff <3

OMG I've been obsessed with Channel Change AU for months now.

Will there be more content? the waiting is killing me. the idea is so good and it's so refreshing to see the 2 characters I loved the most and suffered the most have the happy ending they deserved and the way you connected everything makes so much sense that it doesn't even seem like it came out of nowhere.

it's amazing and you are amazing too! I've been on the lookout for a long time and I'll keep it up, great job!

HI

SUPER HAPPY YOU'RE AS OBSESSED WITH THIS AU AS I AM

UM

PROGRESS IS BEING MADE

[phoenixcatch7]

Man I am just SO CONFUSED. About the time line of this game.

No one is telling me how long links been gone! Or how long the botw-totk timeskip was! They all just started selling my stuff again lol. I'm going to have to get everything redyed!

Me: hey random stranger! Lore dump? You look like a lore dumper.

Kindly npc: why hullo there, link ^^! My, I haven't seen you in a while since the calamity ended! I was so worried when they said you and the princess had gone missing! But it's good to see you're well.

Me: aw, thanks. How long has it actually been tho.

Kindly npc: ^u^

Since 1898 -- FOREVER STRUGGLE!! ...

"The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, lit. 'Free Associated State of Puerto Rico') is an unincorporated territory of the United States. As such, the archipelago and island of Puerto Rico is neither a sovereign nation nor a U.S. state.

The U.S. Constitution does not apply directly or uniformly in U.S. territories in the same way it does in the U.S. states. As a territory, Puerto Rico enjoys various "fundamental rights" of U.S. citizenship, but lacks certain others. For instance, in contrast to U.S. states, Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in U.S. presidential elections, nor can they elect their own senators and representatives to the U.S. Congress. On the other hand, and in contrast to U.S. states, only some residents of Puerto Rico are subject to federal income taxes. The political status of the island thus illustrates how different Puerto Rico is, politically, from sovereign nations and from U.S. states." -- Wikipedia @hrexach

once again I was writing my thesis and got sucked into a rabbit hole. this time the topic of choice was autonomous territories and their taxation systems.

I wanted to do a comparative analysis of My Little Mediterranean Island’s possible tax autonomy with other autonomous territories of other EU countries and my GOD I spent almost an hour reading about Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man. it didn’t help me tho, as UK is not a part of the EU anymore, and these tax havens (I know they are not but they once were mentioned as such, and I guess sometimes it might stick) will NOT help me to argue that tax autonomy will not create another off shore zone, BUT GRRRRR I LOVED READING ABOUT IT

right now writing footnotes about how I wanted to use these isles for my analysis but could not do it
