Ethylene Glycol in Cough Syrups Tragedy – Asrar Qureshi’s Blog Post #900

[ohsalome]

I often hear comments about Crimea and the other territories occupied by Russia being the “price of peace” in Ukraine. I, like many Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians, know that rewarding aggression and brutal occupation does not bring peace.

Crimea is not Russian to be “given back” to Russia. It never was. It never will be.

It is the homeland that has been repeatedly, brutally taken from us; it is the homeland we will not stop fighting for.

My grandmother, Shevkiye, was just 11 years old when on May 18, 1944, Soviet soldiers barged into her home at five o’clock in the morning. World War II was still raging and the Soviet regime had just accused the Crimean Tatars of collaborating with the enemy, the German Nazis – a baseless allegation that led to the unimaginable horror of genocide by deportation.

My great-grandfather was at the front, fighting those same Nazis whom he was accused of collaborating with. So the Soviet soldiers found at home just his wife and four children – the youngest one only a few months old. The soldiers gave them 15 minutes to gather their belongings and did not stop hitting my great-grandmother with their guns as she struggled to pack.

They marched them out of the house and – along with other families from their home village of Ayserez – hoarded loaded them onto a train meant for transporting cattle. The wagons were packed with people and there were no toilets on them; people struggled to breathe. No food or water was provided on the long journey, during which my grandmother’s family remained unaware of their destination.

Exhausted and starved, they focused solely on survival as hunger and disease killed many along the way. One of the most traumatising memories of the journey for my grandmother was witnessing a pregnant woman give birth on the train and then pass away shortly after. A Soviet soldier threw her body out of the wagon while the train kept moving.

After 20 days on the train, they finally arrived at Golodnaya Steppe station in the Mirzachul region of Uzbekistan, where they were unceremoniously unloaded onto a scorching hot platform. With no money or support, they struggled to survive in this unknown land.

They settled in a dilapidated barrack with no roof, windows, or doors. Their food consisted of grass, nettle, potato peels, and rotten potatoes; their drinking water came from irrigation ditches and often caused dysentery. There was no medical assistance available; the Soviet authorities clearly wanted as many Crimean Tatars to die as possible.

The forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars to Central Asia resulted in the death of 46 percent of the population, leaving a gaping wound in the hearts of those who survived. It was the culmination of a century and a half of deliberate and systematic destruction of the Crimean Tatar people, heritage and culture after the subjugation of the Crimean state by Russian imperial forces in the late 18th century. It is on this obliteration of the Crimean Tatars that the bloody myth of Crimea as a “Russian territory” was built.

[itstokkii]

I've been considering making this post for a while but hesitated since I don't wanna beat a dead horse.

I'd like you to look at this post looking back at the Andijan massacre. What started as people protesting issues like distribution of gas, electricity, and other human needs and rights ended in a bloodbath. A cousin of mine told me schools taught it as "the national guard protecting civilians from Islamist terrorists."

I'd also like you to look at this paper by the Human Rights Watch on the torture and persecution of Uzbek Muslims like me during Islam Karimov's 20 years of dictatorial rule. Even Uzbek Muslims outside of Uzbekistan weren't safe. Multiple family friends of mine were randomly tackled to the ground and arrested by Korean Police on accounts of "domestic terrorism" in Uzbekistan, and some were only released about 5 years ago.

You weren't allowed to wear hijabs(even in Islamic universities), openly pray, read the Quran, or do anything religious. Someone would always be there watching to report you.

I wasn't allowed to go outside by myself around my neighborhood due to Uzbek government agents kidnapping the children of Uzbek diaspora abroad. I wasn't allowed to wear a hijab until after we went to Uzbekistan 2 years after Karimov's regime ended, and we made sure it was safe there and back. I wasn't even allowed to visit the country to see my relatives for almost a decade because of the crackdown on Uzbek Muslims.

When Uzbekistan was colonized by Russia as the Uzbek SSR and even before then as Turkestan, Russia made sure to stamp out religion entirely. They killed off scholars and poets like Cholpon, who wrote about Uzbek self-determination and praised religious texts. Uzbekistan's first leadership since its independence carried on with this policy, with Russian colonial values ingrained into them.

As for Korea, our partition was opposed by the whole peninsula. When Jejuans protested the US-UN backed elections, it ended in 10% of Jeju's population being killed by joint US-Korean forces. Though the South Korean Government apologized for the first time recently, the US stays silent. What a surprise. The bodies of these Jejuans were buried in mass pits and had the Jeju Airport built on top of it.

The US still fails to apologize for the No Gun Ri Massacre, in which the US Army murdered about 300 Korean villagers despite knowing they were civilians and therefore not targets. The US also indiscriminately bombed North Korea with more bombs than they had in the Pacific Theater in World War 2, martyring almost 2 million Koreans.

After the Korean War followed almost 30 years of dictatorship by Syngman Rhee, then a military junta, then Park Chung Hee and Chun Doo Hwan. During this time, university students protesting the dictatorial rule established by the US were arrested as "anti communists," and be tortured repeatedly, sometimes even until death.

Though the Seodaemun Prison is known for being Japan's colonial prison where they arrested independence activists, the Korean dictatorships used it to arrest people in favor of democracy.

The Namyeong-Dong Anti-Communist Investigation Office was a similar prison, in which one of the floors had extremely thin, narrow windows to avoid prisoners from escaping. Park Jong Cheol, a Seoul National University student who was protesting against Korea's military dictatorship at the time, was incarcerated here and routinely tortured. He eventually died due to water torture.

The Gwangju Massacre was a protest held by many activists against Chun Doo Hwan's dictatorial rule, which came about as he staged a coup and successfully overthrew the previous government. As they called for democracy, Chun Doo Hwan brought the national army, who fired upon, killed, and raped the protesters. Chun Doo Hwan was never held responsible for his crimes before he died, and his grandson recently apologized to the victims and their loved ones. It was found that the US approved Chun Doo Hwan's plans to use armed forces on the protesters in Gwangju.

Though the Gwangju Massacre is taught about in Korea, much of the US involvement and responsibility of the horrors of the dictatorship is left out.

The US does not allow Korea to produce its own nuclear arsenal, allowing Korea to rely entirely on the US for nuclear support. Additionally, the existing presence of the USFK in Korea and their joint training sessions with the ROK army further provokes North Korea and therefore gives the US a "justification" to maintain its military presence in Korea.

Growing up I was taught where to look for nearby nuclear shelters. We visited the War Memorial of Korea multiple times, and air raid sirens are rare but are happening more often recently.

This, along with the added danger of living as Uzbek diaspora outside of Uzbekistan as Muslims.

So when I say "please respectfully depict Russia and the US when it comes to the Cold War in a way that does not center them entirely" and "please keep the gravity of their actions in mind as you write them; Hetalia does not exist in an apolitical vacuum,"

and I am met with "mature adults" telling me that "they're just characters," or

"i'm the one ruining the fandom," or

"block and move on," or

"i love russia and america cold war!!!" or

"you're crazy" or

"moralf*g" or

"someone's sensitive"

and especially from russian artists who call me an "American SJW." russians calling me an uzbek overly sensitive for asking that they portray their country a little more respectfully to the victims of their colonialism. yeah that's completely normal

you are normalizing centering discussions about the Cold War to the imperial core, and then having nothing of substance to say about and being absolutely insensitive towards someone who's life has been and still are dictated by these imperial forces, and even harrassing them.

where's the "block and move on" mentality you prided yourselves for?

this fandom hasn't changed since the 2010s. it's just more quiet in the way it marginalizes victims of colonialism.

oh, and that person who told me to "block and move on, sister!!!" when it comes to me explaining myself as an uzbek-korean muslim?

you're not one to talk. 네가 뭘아는데 ㅅㅂ새끼야

Aim to make us feeble, if our name is scorned, if our fame is shamed, What defines us as people? - Rıza Fazıl

I wince when people speak about their fathers; not out of hatred, but rather an unknowing sense of envy—his adolescence was far from the all-American tri-varsity lifestyle many experienced. When asked about him, I often find myself diluting his character into a falsehood that can be easily understood; in other words, I lie. I lie the same way he lies about his name when ordering takeout, to spare employees from the burden of mispronunciation. I lie about his background because his ambiguity requires a history lesson I simply do not care to restate. I have heard the question “What is your dad again?” on countless occasions, and although I understand what the question entails, I mask my annoyance with oblivion to avoid repeating myself—in truth, my father’s complexity stems from before he was even born. 

The bane of his existence is hereditary; his frustration is an heirloom granted to him by his blood. In the mid-1940s, my Grandfather fell victim to the Crimean Tatar Genocide. He was ten years old when the first mass deportation of his entire ethnic group occurred. Over the course of his childhood, all aspects of his being had been stripped from him by Soviet occupation—my Grandfather, who previously lost his own father to the ongoing war, had to witness his two younger brothers starve to death on frigid trains with no destination. The bloodshed of the Crimean people was considered to be a cleansing; from the start, my Grandfather has been in a position of inferiority no matter the location of his refuge. His history was one which I never fully understood in my early childhood, yet one my dad taught me nonetheless. Perhaps he was using his father's traumas to justify his personality while I was still too young to understand. All I knew was that my Deda’s deportation was the cause of my Dad’s eternal sense of displacement. My Father holds his breath when he speaks of the genocide. My Grandfather is pained at the memory of his childhood, but recognizes the importance of his history regardless; the value of education surrounding his people surpasses the pain of explanation. I was passed down both the knowledge of my bloodline and the feeling of alienation that runs through it. 

It was nearly Summertime when Soviet policemen invaded my Grandfather’s village. His first direct encounter was with two armed men at his door, demanding the presence of his family. They forcibly took them from their home, with the rest of the Crimean population following shortly after. Within the span of 3 days, the NKVD (Interior Ministry of the Soviet Union) deported Crimean Tatars of all ages through cattle trains; however, the deportation mostly impacted women, children, and the elderly, because men of age had previously been sent into battle. Their destination? Over 3,000 kilometers away in Uzbekistan, another region that had fallen under Russian Occupation. As each day passed aboard bolted-up cargo, he fell into an unfathomable state of malnourishment and dehydration. His two younger brothers, one of which was a newborn, were both physically incapable of withstanding such conditions for weeks at a time. From the beginning, they had no chance of survival. My grandfather’s entire life trajectory had been altered the moment those two men appeared affront his home; his childhood in Crimea came to a hasty conclusion as his adulthood began in Tashkent at the age of 10. I often find that he precariously lives out their childhood and his own through his mannerisms. He sings and claps when he sees my dog, calls me his baby despite my 16 years of age, and makes sure I always leave his home with a full stomach; because under his wrinkled skin and calloused fingers stands a confused child who does not yet understand the consequence of existing as the other.

Stone Age Childhoods

Probably the most numerous social category in any Neanderthal group was children. Born stronger than us, intense activity further toughened their little bodies. Even before the age of 10, in Uzbekistan the Teshik-Tash child's legs must have walked huge amounts, while Le Moustier 1's teenage arms were almost as muscly as an adult's. Youngsters' teeth also show them practicing or joining in with adult tasks: at Sima de los Huesos, older children and teenagers had already begun to wear off their enamel. But even the littlest ones here and elsewhere have some distinctive clamping wear, suggesting that hide working was one thing they started to help with early on. Overall, children's tooth micro-wear increases with age, but it's more complex than just greater amounts of mouth use. Micro-scratches in the young boy from El Sidrón were not only fewer but also diagonal, rather than vertical. This means he'd learned to eat like a grown-up using a lithic, but wasn't really doing a lot of other tasks with his mouth. There's a hint of the social settings where he and other children may have been learning and copying, since their overall tooth damage pattern on average resembles women's more than men's. Neanderthal children certainly learned by doing, and from birth had front row seats for most of the tasks they needed to master as adults, whether slicing fat off muscle, eating around a hearth or walking the land. There was probably some teaching for particularly complicated things, but Western standards of appropriate child safety and supervision aren't shared by all societies. In many hunter-gatherer cultures youngsters will play with sharp tools, sometimes wielding them even before they can walk, and independently forage together. But busy childhoods brought with them a high cost, which some of the youngest paid. [...] Perhaps it's not surprising that some older Neanderthals weathered wretched health. But more unexpected are quite severe injuries in some juveniles. Le Moustier 1 is a case in point: he sustained a nasty broken jaw that healed badly, and probably caused asymmetric wear on his teeth from prolonged difficulty eating. As well as potentially affecting verbal communication, this tells us it happened sometime well before his death, [which happened] between 11 and 15 years old. And even younger children were battered about. Less than a kilometre from Forbes' Quarry in Gibraltar is the Devil's Tower fissure site, explored in 1925 by a young Dorothy Garrod. What she found [...] was the remains of a child of no more than 5 years old with a broken jaw. Even more shocking, it had happened at least a couple years before, and he had also sustained later, potentially fatal skull fractures. Would such a young child have been involved in risky activities like hunting, or are we looking at accidents while unsupervised? [...] Youth for early H. sapiens people wasn't any less tough than for Neanderthals either. Another spectacular burial at Sunghir is of two children buried head-to-head. Both had more than one phase of tooth growth interruptions, and one's thigh bones were extremely short and bowed, probably from a genetic condition. The other's facial bones were also abnormal, and probably made eating difficult: they had no tooth wear, suggesting that special soft foods were provided. We can even find a match for the battered little Devil's Tower boy in the early H. sapiens skeleton of a 4- to 5-year old at Lagar Velho, Portugal. As a toddler he'd suffered a severe facial blow and healed a serious arm injury. Not long before death his teeth record several growth interruptions within a few months of each other, suggesting serious illness.

International investigators probing the fatal poisoning of 300 young children with deadly cough syrup fear the lethal ingredient may still be circulating in global supply chains.

There is frustration that authorities in India, where two separate batches of the syrups came from, are putting the country’s commercial interests above patient safety by withholding vital information.

It is understood that the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Substandard and Falsified Medical Products team has yet to receive any data or documents collected by Indian officials investigating the production of cough syrup at Marion Biotech – one of two Indian pharmaceuticals embroiled in the scandal.

This is despite products made by the company being linked to the deaths of 20 children in Uzbekistan and the WHO appealing to the Indian authorities for information.

“We would have expected and hoped for a much quicker response from the Indian authorities,” said a source close to the WHO investigation.

Getting information about the manufacturing companies involved is vital so it can be understood whether or not there are tainted or mislabeled raw ingredients circulating in international supply chains, which could be used by other manufacturers unwittingly.

“This is the nightmare scenario,” said the source. “If we don’t get to the bottom of this, it could pop up again later.”

Headcanon on how some nations came to be

You know how it’s with me, aka the usual:

-Russia (along with Ukraine and Belarus) were born from mommy Rus’ limbs as she started to split apart. In many ways like Athena born from Zeus I guess. Also I say mommy Rus but I have in mind an androgynous large muscular 230 cm warrior dude.

-Mongolia was once a wolf. I love animal origins yes. He was reborn so many times as other wolves and dogs and gradually became closer and closer to humans aka getting domesticated. Right before he became a nation he was a guardian dog of a proto-Mongol family, and upon his death his human owner wished for him to be reborn as human. Except he actually became an immortal nation and from then on he stayed with the Borjigins or Borjigid ancestors as a warrior.

-Kazakhstan was found in a Golden Eagle’s nest by Janibek and Kerey aka the founders of Kazakh Khanate. There was a bit of drama there as the two brothers (or cousins) wanted to kidnap a female chick to raise as a hunting bird (it has to be female because she is larger and stronger than male birds. Upon adulthood, she will be released back into the wild) but found a male baby instead, and at first they thought of him as bird food. They quickly realized that baby Kaz was in fact the eagle’s offspring, and that them finding him was a sign of something big to come. During this time, Janibek and Kerey were still part of Uzbeks but had started to oppose their Uzbek overlords.

Ancestry wise tho, Kazakhstan is pure Golden Horde. Part of his country especially in the southern part was Chagatai Khanate, but his Khans traced their lineage to Jochid Khans only (precisely Ordaid Khans). In my OC lore I divide Golden Horde into two aka Batu’s Ulus (White Horde) and Orda’s Ulus (Blue Horde), both represented by different guys, but it’s White Horde who’s generally regarded as the whole Golden Horde. This has historical bearings because the Khan of White Horde was also the Khan of the whole Golden Horde. But of course, when you see Blue Horde around he is technically Golden Horde too sorry if it’s complicated lmao.

Anyway Kazakhstan is like a child between White and Blue Horde, born from their ashes and bones.

-Uzbekistan is an mpreg child of Golden Horde and Timurid Empire LOL but basically he is a mix of them ok. His lands he got from Timurid but his Khans from Golden Horde… you get the idea. Timurid doted on him so much and was secretly proud that he beat him (who was already weakened anyway). These days Uzbekistan usually says he only has one dad aka Timurid Empire, and he reveres Tamerlane so much.

-Turkey is one of the many children of Göktürk, aka the ultimate daddy of Inner Asia yes. He never really saw him irl tho because his people, the Oghuz Turks, took him (and some siblings) away to Central Asia where he became an Oghuz state and ultimately Seljuk Empire. Age wise maybe a bit younger than Mongolia idk, I personally don’t get how in some fanarts kid Mongolia and Turkey met because afaik they didn’t actually meet until adulthood, but yeah.

Anyway, I haven’t really settled on Mongolia’s age myself, but I think at some point he saw Göktürk around. Basically the second Turkic Khaganate was also founded by Ashina clan so it might be Göktürk reborn and not exactly a different person, so…

GREEN LAKE, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man who faked his own drowning this summer so he could abandon his wife and three children has been communicating with authorities daily from Eastern Europe, even telling them how he did it, but has not committed to returning home, a sheriff said Thursday.

Ryan Borgwardt has been talking with authorities since Nov. 11 after disappearing for three months, Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podoll said at a news conference. The sheriff later showed a video that Borgwardt had sent the sheriff's office that day.

“The great news is we know that he is alive and well,” Podoll said. “The bad news is we don’t know where Ryan exactly is, and he has not yet decided to return home.”

Borgwardt, wearing an orange T-shirt and not smiling, looked directly into the camera in the video, which appears to have been taken on his phone. Borgwardt said he was in his apartment and briefly panned the camera but mostly showed just a door and bare walls.

“I’m safe and secure, no problem,” Borgwardt said. “I hope this works.”

Borgwardt told authorities he fled because of “personal matters," the sheriff said. Podoll did not elaborate.

“He was just going to try and make things better in his mind, and this was the way it was going to be,” Podoll said.

Borgwardt told authorities he traveled about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from his home in Watertown to Green Lake, where he overturned his kayak, dumped his phone in the lake and then paddled an inflatable boat to shore. He told authorities he picked that lake because it's the deepest in Wisconsin at 237 feet (over 72 meters).

After leaving the lake, he rode an electric bike about 70 miles (110 kilometers) through the night to Madison, the sheriff said. From there, he took a bus to Detroit, then boarded a bus to Canada and got on a plane there, the sheriff said.

Police were still verifying Borgwardt’s description of what happened, Podoll said.

The sheriff suggested Borgwardt could be charged with obstructing the investigation into his disappearance, but so far no counts have been filed. The sheriff's office said the search for Borgwardt's body, which lasted more than a month, cost at least $35,000. Podoll said that Borgwardt told authorities that he didn't expect the search to last more than two weeks.

Whether Borgwardt returns will be up to his “free will," Podoll said. Borgwardt’s biggest concern about returning is how the community will react, the sheriff said.

“He thought his plan was going to pan out, but it didn’t go the way he had planned,” the sheriff said. “And so now we’re trying to give him a different plan to come back.”

The sheriff said authorities “keep pulling at his heartstrings” to return home.

“Christmas is coming," Podoll said. “And what better gift could your kids get than to be there for Christmas?”

Borgwardt’s disappearance was first investigated as a possible drowning after he went kayaking on Green Lake, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Milwaukee, in August. But subsequent clues — including that he obtained a new passport three months before he disappeared — led investigators to speculate that he faked his death to meet up with a woman he had been communicating with in Uzbekistan, a former Soviet republic in Central Asia.

The sheriff declined to comment when asked what he knew about the woman, but he said police contacted Borgwardt “through a female that spoke Russian.”

Prior to the sheriff's office speaking with Borgwardt last week, he had not been heard from since the night of Aug. 11 when he texted his wife in Watertown shortly before 11 p.m., saying he was headed to shore after kayaking.

Deputies located his vehicle and trailer near the lake. They also found his overturned kayak with a life jacket attached to it in an area where the lake’s waters run more than 200 feet (60 meters) deep. The search for his body went on for more than 50 days, with divers on several occasions exploring the lake.

In early October, the sheriff’s department learned that Canadian law enforcement authorities had run Borgwardt’s name through their databases the day after he was reported missing. Further investigation revealed that he had reported his passport lost or stolen and had obtained a new one in May.

The sheriff's office said the analysis of a laptop revealed a digital trail that showed Borgwardt planned to head to Europe and tried to mislead investigators.

The laptop’s hard drive had been replaced and the browsers had been cleared the day Borgwardt disappeared, the sheriff's office said. Investigators found passport photos, inquiries about moving money to foreign banks, and communication with a woman from Uzbekistan.

They also discovered that he took out a $375,000 life insurance policy in January, although the policy was for his family and not him, the sheriff said.

Authorities tried every phone number and email address on the laptop in “a blitz fashion,” Podoll said. They eventually reached the Russian-speaking woman, who connected them with Borgwardt. It's unclear whether she is the woman in Uzbekistan.

Podoll said he wasn't sure how Borgwardt was supporting himself but speculated he has a job: “He's a smart guy.”

Crisis Update #47: Uzbek Cotton Crisis

8 April 2025,

After Uzbekistan has made some budget cuts for the cotton sector, the adverse effects are now showing. Many months before this crisis, the cotton farmers of Uzbekistan has voiced their concerns regarding budget cuts causing lack of pay and bad working conditions, yet the government has not acted.

Due to the government's ignorance to the public's concerns, working conditions in these cotton farms are worse than ever. Many people are forced to work in these places for hours on end while being exposed to pesticides and minerals. This causes many people, even children to die left and right, causing a death rate in cotton farmers of about 5.6/1000 people

China is outraged about this. China believes that all uzbekistan needs is funding, yet they have neglected China's offer. China can provide anything Uzbekistan needs and keeps the farmers happy while also supporting the other sectors. China wants to be the main investor in uzbekistan over other countries.

Dear Harry,

I am writing to you with a warning. As I know, you often have or had inappropriate states due to mental or alcoholic intoxication. God forbid you to use drugs. Why did I bring up this personal problem of yours? I'm not judging you. A person of the 21st century is very vulnerable mentally to temptations. This is our life. Nowadays, even those who pray are afraid of disgracing themselves, if they have any intelligence, of course. Yesterday you were on a horse with a shield, today you are a laughingstock. And what will happen tomorrow is chaotic and unpredictable even for me. For example, Vladimir Putin unexpectedly gave us a kitten. You can say that the President of the Russian Federation gave me and my sister the whole world of tenderness and warmth that exudes from this furry baby. He did it secretly. However, I suspect it could have been a love spell, but I am deeply grateful to him for the only worthwhile act of a man on his part. The only thing that darkens my mood is that the Kyrgyz government used to cast a spell on me to take away the greatness of Russia and the Romanov Family for years. And now, this is being done by the respected Russian president at the behest of a migrant from sunny Uzbekistan - Alina Maratovna Kabaeva.

Don't make these mistakes, Harry. It often happens that a strong politician was ruined not by his professional qualities, but by his woman. You were a strong warrior in past lives. But Meghan Markle has always been a satanic temptation for you, Harry!

Harry, you got involved with a first-class, cunning escort-girl from the circle of the damned Epstein himself, according to the Western media. These are dangerous people who, through sex, subsequently dirty blackmail, achieve great material things. I wouldn't be surprised if they blackmailed some sheikhs, which often influences their big politics. For example, Arabs could at least verbally express their disagreement with the aggression towards the children of Palestine. I wish no harm to either Jews or Arabs. I just have a feeling that people like Epstein behave like spiders. And you, Harry, are naive by nature from your past lives. +You grew up in a palace where everyone respected you. You didn’t know what some people outside of your well-fed, successful circle of friends and sincere fan-girls who idolized you were capable of. And I was often humiliated by vile people and that’s why I tried to warn you from the very beginning.

Harry, if you are originally Elton John or Freddie Mercury, then everything is fine. But it’s another matter if, taking advantage of your intoxication, your wife pushes a homosexual adventure* up your ass for the purpose of blackmail in the near future. First of all, give up drugs and make an appointment with a psychologist. But remember that this psychologist can also work for the protector of your wife. Get a grip, Harry. For the sake of your children. What will they remember about their childhood? The first 6 years are the most important period in the formation of the human psyche. Then - adolescence.

I think, you must accept your mother's passing. This is your Achilles heel. Let Mom go, Harry. Her life was not so bad after all. Your mother lived a vibrant and noble life that one could only dream of. She left an unforgettable mark on the hearts of both whites and blacks. This (!) is important. Think about women in brothels in India, for example. They don’t even dare to dream about the Princess’s life. As for Diana's suspicious death, I will reveal to you the secret of the Higher Powers.

This is the meaning of your mother's suffering: Diana had to see the dark side of the black aristocracy. If she had been happy with Charles III and had not been helped to leave this world, then the hearts of her two sons would not have been pure and, perhaps, they would have been on the side of Satan. Think of it as saving the souls of Lady Di's sons. Apocalyptic times lie ahead of us. But there are few strong people with kind souls on Earth. We, the Light forces, need warriors.

However, I ask you not to immediately write a book 😉 about the fact that I am talking about the Apocalypse. People won't understand. They never understood...

Yours sincerely,

Asel

* I do not hate gays, but I would be dissapointed, if you did it with a man . Sorry, but this is not appropriate for men.

Turkuzbek Drabble–Takes place in modern day

In which Uzbekistan spends time with her boyfriend Turkey hiking and comes out with a slightly changed perspective

‎‧₊˚✧[🇹🇷🇺🇿]✧˚₊‧

"Are you really sure taking her out for a nature walk is a good idea?"

"Yeah, why not? Think of it...two people alone with nature...appreciating the beauty of the landscape...it's therapeutic! She's probably into that stuff, right? It might change her perspective on the great outdoors!"

"Hmm...I'll see how it goes. Thanks, Soojin."

"No problem, oppa~" She giggled and ended the call.

‎‧₊˚✧[🇹🇷🇺🇿]✧˚₊‧

"Sadik...ha....ah....why are we climbing up such steep trails...at 5 in the evening...? You know how much I hate hiking...!"

"I do." He nonchalantly agreed.

"Then...hah...why even spend time uselessly exerting our bodies like this? We could be at home right now!"

"At home doing what? Exerting our bodies in other ways~?"

"SADIK!" She gripped his waist and shook him. "We're in public, think of the children!"

He looked around. They were the only two scaling the mountain trails, no families to hear their conversation in sight.

"Fine, so there may not be any children. But you can't just say things like that in public! Weirdo..." Nargiza pouted and leaned on a nearby tree, fiddling with her braid. When it seemed that all was calm, she turned her head to the side–

Only to be face to face with a spiderweb.

"AAAH!" Nargiza ripped herself away from the tree and hugged Sadik.

"It's just a spider, Nargiz! Honestly, what's it going to do, eat you alive?"

"It's a spider! Its mere presence shakes the hearts of many!"

He chuckled and ruffled her hair. "It's okay, you're with your big strong boyfriend! If anything happens I'll set this whole place on fire."

"I'd appreciate if I wasn't the sole reason for committing arson, but thank you." She gently dabbed at her eyes to get rid of any tears.

‎‧₊˚✧[🇹🇷🇺🇿]✧˚₊‧

"How much longer?"

"Hmm..." Sadik paused to look at the map. "Only about a 20 minute walk! We're getting closer!"

Nargiza groaned. "Sadik...I do find it a little upsetting you haven't told me what our goal in this is. Where are we going?"

"Somewhere I know you'll love. Think of this as a test of trust in our relationship."

"Now that sounds worse..!"

He ducked past a tree branch. "Why are you so afraid of hiking, anyway? I get staying at home and relaxing, but I've never seen someone so repulsed by the idea of going out into the great outdoors. Besides, weren't you the more nomadic one out of the two of us?"

Nargiza stopped in her tracks and thought about it. "Well, I do enjoy going horse riding with my brothers...but that's in a controlled environment that I trust. The wilderness isn't something I'm familiar with, something I know. We could go anywhere and I would be comforted knowing how controlled and predictable the environment is. But here? Anything could happen here," she shuddered. "Besides, dying is fine, but my clothes...they only live once. Why risk it and cause the death of my beautiful clothing in the process?"

Sadik thought about it. Of course she'd be finicky about her clothes. What else would she brag about to her close friends and family? But a small part of him believed he should have been more careful. She had a habit of sticking to what she knew. She preferred stability, no matter the conditions, over change. He remembered her talking about it before as well.

"What's the point of demanding change? Who knows how it could turn out? Many have took to the streets demanding change, and when they weren't massacred to death, something else would happen that would cause the people to live in squalor. Sometimes I admire those brave people, but I'm far too apathetic and afraid to do anything."

He had hoped this would help her come out of her shell more, but what if it was doing the opposite? What if it was reinforcing her beliefs about the unknown?

He shook those thoughts away and focused on the present, hoping the surprise waiting for her at the end of the trail would help her see what she had been avoiding.

Sadik looked up at the sky. The midday light began to glow a slight orange now. If they got there just in time...

Nargiza's voice snapped him out of her thoughts. "Oh, my..." He was too busy thinking to realize they had gotten to the end of the trail, a meadow of lush green grass decorated by wildflowers and dandelions. Across the meadow was a small creek, light reflecting on the water from the sun.

They walked closer to the river and then stopped to sit down. The sun was now setting, the sky painted in beautiful swirls of pink and orange, clouds pulled like cotton.

Nargiza turned to him and broke the silence. "So...this is what you wanted me to see?"

"Yeah. You tell me, was it worth it?"

"Definitely. It's absolutely beautiful... Perhaps I've judged hiking and nature a bit too harshly. Maybe we can do more of this." She looked down and sighed. "But...all that walking made me extremely hot. It's still what, thirty degrees?"

So. She was still complaining, huh.

Sadik smirked. "Don't worry babe, I know how to cool down..."

"How–SADIK!" Sadik picked her up in a fireman carry and set her down in the creek, ignoring the pain on his shoulder and back as her legs kicked in protest.

Nargiza stood up, completely drenched. Sadik tried to look at her face to see if he upset her.

She looked up at him and smiled creepily. "Darling....come here."

A wave of fear crawled through his back, and he started to run.

She got up from the creek and immediately chased him around the meadow.

"I-I'm sorry!" He yelled back, desperately trying to save himself from her wrath. She may not be a fast runner, but nobody can guess what her next move would be when she got angry.

"No you're not! Hah...You're just sorry you got caught!"

She was gaining on him, and Sadik quietly muttered the Ayat-ul Kursi under his breath.

"H-hey, you don't have to keep chasing me! You'll get tuckered out!"

"You think I care about that now?!"

Nargiza, after chasing him for a while with no results, slowed before stopping and sitting down.

Sadik desperately hoped this wasn't a trick as he crept closer, to which he now saw that she was shivering like a wet kitten.

"It's...it's cold..."

So cute...

He took off his jacket and carefully wrapped it around his shoulders, then hugged her for good measure. She pulled her hairtie off and undid her braid to let her hair dry quicker.

"Hey...I'm sorry about dropping you into the creek..." He whispered.

"You're an asshole. But...you're so handsome..." A shivering hand angled up to pinch his cheek. "I hate you."

He chuckled, and the kissed her forehead. "That's okay, because I still love you~"

‎‧₊˚✧[🇹🇷🇺🇿]✧˚₊‧

"So, how'd your outdoor date with Sadik go?"

"Ah...Well, it was certainly eventful. I think the outdoors grew on me a little more, actually." Nargiza blushed and played with her hair.

Soojin knew Nargiza hated hiking. But she was a master planner. Knowing Nargiza, she'd scream at the sight of a beetle on a tree, and cling to Sadik, just as the trope goes! And at the end of all the torment and complaining laid a beautiful meadow with flowers and a pink, warm sunset. That's when they would both realize how amazing the whole experience was, and fall in love all over again and—

"So you're telling me you were behind this the whole time!"

"I SAID THAT ALL OUT LOUD?!"
