Удивительные черные лебеди с птенцами.

Чёрный лебедь (лат. Cygnus atratus) — водоплавающая перелётная  птица из рода лебедей (Cygnus) семейства  утиных  (Anatidae). Он обитает повсеместно на  территории Австралии и острове Тасмания, хорошо акклиматизировался и в Новой Зеландии. В отличие от других собратьев черный лебедь не является перелетной птицей.

 Черный лебедь имеет средние среди лебедей размеры. Птицы могут весить от 5 до 9 кг, рост может достигать полутора метров, размах крыльев   до 2-х метров, самцы обычно крупнее самок. Основной цвет оперения черный с муаровым отливом, перья на краях крыльев слегка кудрявятся. Шея самая длинная среди всех лебедей, клюв ярко-красный с белым кольцом на конце.

 Длинная шея помогает лебедю доставать корм со дна водоема. Он не умеет нырять, поэтому кормится на мелководье или на берегу. Питается он преимущественно водными растениями и их корневищами, а также растениями, растущими по берегам водоемов травой, листьями и молодыми побегами кустарников и деревьев. Легенда о лебединой верности в полной мере отражает и взаимодействие в паре черных лебедей: пары у этих птиц складываются на всю жизнь.

 Внутри группы лебедей выстраиваются очень близкие отношения. И кормиться летают все вместе, и гнезда строят, и птенцов выводят очень близко друг от друга. Самец и  самка строят гнездо совместно, вре��я насиживания они тоже разделяют друг с другом. Для строительства гнезда они  выбирают, как правило, неглубокий водоем с пресной водой, где делают из веток и другого растительного материала высокое и широкое, диаметром до 1 метра, гнездо. Со стороны оно похоже на небольшой островок, который иногда может дрейфовать по водоему. Cамка ��ткладывает от 3 до 8 яиц. Птенцы вылупляются по очереди в течение 2х–3х дней. 

 Продолжительность жизни черных лебедей в природе около 20 лет, в неволе – значительно дольше. 

Amazing black swans with chicks.

The black swan (lat. Cygnus atratus) is a waterfowl migratory bird from the genus of swans (Cygnus) of the duck family (Anatidae). It lives throughout Australia and the island of Tasmania, and has acclimatized well in New Zealand. Unlike its other relatives, the black swan is not a migratory bird.

The black swan is of average size among swans. Birds can weigh from 5 to 9 kg, their height can reach one and a half meters, their wingspan is up to 2 meters, males are usually larger than females. The main color of the plumage is black with a moire sheen, the feathers on the edges of the wings are slightly curled. The neck is the longest among all swans, the beak is bright red with a white ring at the end.

The long neck helps the swan to get food from the bottom of the reservoir. It cannot dive, so it feeds in shallow water or on the shore. It feeds mainly on aquatic plants and their rhizomes, as well as plants growing along the banks of reservoirs - grass, leaves and young shoots of bushes and trees. The legend of swan fidelity fully reflects the interaction in a pair of black swans: pairs of these birds are for life.

A very close relationship is built within a group of swans. They all fly to feed together, build nests, and hatch chicks very close to each other. The male and female build the nest together, and they also share the incubation time. To build the nest, they usually choose a shallow body of fresh water, where they make a high and wide nest, up to 1 meter in diameter, from branches and other plant material. From the side, it looks like a small island, which can sometimes drift around the reservoir. The female lays from 3 to 8 eggs. The chicks hatch one after another within 2-3 days. The lifespan of black swans in the wild is about 20 years, in captivity - much longer.

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the Boeseman's rainbowfish!

The Boeseman's rainbowfish, also known as Boesemani rainbowfish, and scientific name Melanotaenia boesemani is a common freshwater fish in the aquarium trade. Rainbowfish in general are a wide family made up of tens of genus, all of which are made up of hundreds of species. Almost all rainbowfish are incredibly common in the freshwater aquarium trade, tending to interact nicely with tetras and guppies in captivity, a popular choice due to their bright coloration. The Melanotaenia genus in particular, of which the Boesemani is, is found around Australia, New Zealand, and other islands around this area. Bosemani specifically is found in the  Ayamaru Lakes of Western New Guinea and Indonesia. In particular these fish congregate in schools around vegetation in fast moving waters in areas with high alkalinity of 8.0-9.0. Its name hails from the Dutch fish biologist Marinus Boeseman.

The diet of this fish is omnivorous, eating almost anything they can fit into their mouths, such as smaller live fish, algae, and aquatic vegetation. In captivity it's often recommended to feed them fish flakes, but without enough meat in their diet much of the bright coloration will fade. In wild populations some fish can get as large as upwards of 5 inches, but in captivity the largest recorded fish has been only around 4 inches. Their coloration is incredibly susceptible to change in captivity, with ability to change intensity at will and is seen as a show of mood and health. In the wild these fish are heavily predated on by larger fishes in their lakes and streams, such as cichlids, snappers, and cardinals. 

Rainbowfish are known for breeding year round, but are triggered to do such by warmer temperatures in captivity. In Boeseman's rainbowfish when the fish are ready to breed (having stocked up on enough food) the male will develop a white stripe along the head and flash colors along this stripe,  dancing to court a female. These fish will spend anywhere from 7-10 days releasing eggs and sperm into the surrounding water. These eggs stick to nearby aquatic vegetation, taking two weeks until hatching. These fry are only 4mm in length, surviving off of zooplankton until they grow large enough to begin eating small shrimps. These fish will survive on average 5-8 years in captivity, although some hobbyists claim fish that have lived around 13-15 years, living through tens of breeding seasons throughout their life. In the wild however far less is known about these fish, as they have less and less surviving offspring every year, making them vitally endangered.

That's the Boeseman's rainbowfish, everybody! Have a wonderful day!

How aizawa courts you/relationship headcanons

y’all seem to really like the crush headcanons i did so now i’m doing him when he actually tries to court you and when your actually together :)

this is still going to be canon aizawa btw

also still fem reader in mind

okay so now that aizawa is trying to court you, like in love and wants to date

he’d be forward about it

probably waits until your at his place or yours

then as your doing whatever he’ll ask

“y/n i have something important to tell you”

“yeah? what is it, it’s not bad is it?”

“no, i actually just wanted to know if you’d like to go out somewhere with me. a date.”

your reaction may vary from shock to a knowing smile

either way you accept politely (how could you reject such a fine man?)

so you both talk about the date and end up planning it out right then and there

you decided that weekend would work fine

so after that’s settled you talk about each other’s feelings, how and why they came to be

you figured out you fell first but he fell harder :)

so your first date would be out somewhere simple yet fun and with a little less people

so there’s this place called cat island in japan

yeah

its perfect

(i hope your a cat person)

it’s exactly what you think, there’s cats everywhere search it up

there’s more cats than people actually

its heaven for him

you guys have a fun field day with cats then head back to your house

chatting and looking at the pictures you took

and yeah!

again he’s straight forward with courting

so now we’re on relationship

you guys are definitely closer now

i’ll go through a normal day for y’all then relationship things

so

aizawa gets up early for his job

he’ll get ready and text you to see how your doing then go to work

if you work at ua with him and live together

he likely gets up first if not y’all are up at the same time

when he’s ready he’ll wake you up if you like to sleep in

and warm the car while he waits if it’s winter (yippie he’s freezing so you don’t have to)

y’all drive to work together

you can text him throughout work but he won’t reply unless it’s important or a genuinely good question

he won’t slack off the job (EVEN THO HE SLEEPS ON IT)

anyway

if you work with him he’ll text you on break if your not already in the staff room

or if you have separate jobs he’ll still text to check up on you

makes sure you eat something

is today stressful so far?

why? vent to him.

he truly cares about your physical and mental health

once you both get home from work he’ll run you a bath and cook dinner

he’s a average cook, can cook basic things

if y’all don’t live together he’s more likely to order take out though

not always junk food sometimes he’s just tired and orders a salad. he’s upset because he knows he can make it himself but he’s just so tired

so he appreciates if you turn the tables and treat him to a bath and hot meal (if y’all moved in together)

but if y’all got your own places sometimes if your both still energized you’ll come over to one another’s house

if y’all live together he falls asleep real fast

won’t mind if you snuggle next to him

except for when he gets hot

then he turns over 😭

sometimes he’ll try to stay up to have those late night convos with you but don’t get mad if he falls asleep, it’s by accident. y’all can always continue the next night :)

he won’t snuggle you btw

just because he naturally stays on his side of the bed

he ain’t a wild sleeper

he flips from side to side

its rare to catch him on his back for more than a few minutes

LUCKY YOU HE’S NOT A BLANKET HOGGER

if you are tho

he’ll get annoyed the first few times but he won’t say anything about it

after a few nights he just gets his own blanket

if your a wild sleeper this annoys him more than hogging the blanket

he’ll tell you, you keep kicking him and slapping him in his sleep and it wakes him up

yknow your boy likes some good sleep so he doesn’t stand for you wakin him up

suggests to get two beds

but you don’t like that idea

so he’ll probably end up putting pillows in between you or sleeping in his sleeping bag on the floor 😭

if y’all stay at different places tho

its rare for y’all to have a sleepover

he doesn’t see the point in having two different houses if you just want to sleep at his

would think about moving in together

but he won’t bring it to the table unless he see’s a opportunity or feels you’d feel comfortable/like that

if you do manage to convince him he’s not staying up and playing or smth he’s literally going to sleep

if your a wild sleeper he won’t do it again

otherwise you may be able to convince him like 2 or 3 more times

dont tell mic though if mic teases him he’ll never do it again

not to spite you but out of annoyance from yamada (mic)

he just won’t feel like it anymore

btw keep your room clean or be scolded

”clean your room y/n there’s no reason you should have clothes and clutter everywhere.”

“you don’t even need half of this stuff, just clean it.”

now to genuine relationship things

well for one i’m telling you he won’t call you pet names

just

“y/n”

”why should i call you ___ if your name is y/n”

doesn’t see the point in them

you may be able to convince him a few years into the relationship to call you “babe” or anything simple and sweet but that’s it

maybe a “n/n” occasionally

if YOU call HIM pet names tho

he wouldn’t mind :)

still doesn’t get it tho

just don’t make it anything too sappy

he’ll funny look you if you do

especially at work

or around mic and all might

would prefer if you stuck to the simple ones or a nickname tho

another thing

if your a hero, a reckless one at that, he’ll worry for you and scold you if you get injured

please don’t give this man a heart attack

”you need to be more rational”

if your already a rational person thank goodness

he’s glad he doesn’t have to babysit a whole class of students and you

random

but

if you like coffee or tea he’ll make you some before/when you get up

if you don’t live together he’ll bring you a cup if you both work at ua

if you work on weekends (idk how some people do it) he’ll bring you a cup on your lunch break

giving each other massages>>

he’s really good at it too

he’s a good person to vent to as well

especially about the stress of work because he felt that

he’ll take you on dates randomly even if y’all are in a relationship

not every week

but he’ll take the time out to spend it with you if he has some

he’s a traditional gentleman

and by that i mean buy you flowers and gifts

but not just “roses 🤓☝️“

he’ll actually take the time to learn your favorite flowers and buys you reals ones to take care of

if you don’t have a green thumb how else will you learn?

so he’ll buy them anyway

helps you take care of them though

he waters them and reminds you to if you live separately

he buys you little trinkets and gifts that BENEFIT you

not just something that’ll “collect dust” as he says

like if you tell him your vacuum breaks down every few months

he’ll RESEARCH one that doesn’t, is inexpensive and cleans well

and buy it for you :)

overall he’s a 10/10 boyfriend 100% green flag

ladies and gentlemen (and whoever’s in between)

get yourself an aizawa

enough said

have a good day/night

[that-vexaholic-cryptid]

I think Tears of the Kingdom may suffer from a lack of danger

There's danger *to you,* but really no one else seems to care much. Once the Regional Phenomenon are handled everyone is just like "OK, back to normal"

Breath of the Wild had a sense of almost omnipresent danger. Any time you saw a Guardian husk you couldn't be sure it was dead, and the damn things were everywhere.

That's part of the environmental storytelling that is so effective is that not only were these things scattered across the map, but you could SEE what damage they did and could do again. Guardians left all of Hyrule scarred and in ruins, the Calamity killed untold amounts of people, the apocalypse HAPPENED.

In TOTK, people are fascinated by the sky islands. They know to avoid the Gloom. But other than that? Some guy in a stable reads about the Demon King returning in a newspaper. He's got no idea what it means. No one really knows what it means, not even Purah. And to top it off, the Demon King isn't an active threat to anybody the entire game. He sits at the bottom of the same hole he fell into in the opening scene, and he just chills there the whole time waiting for you to show up. He sent some old monsters to bother the regions' capitols, and specifically trolled Link with his Phantoms. But that's it. The average Hyruleans just go about their days.

There's even Monster Control Crews, that don't necessarily need you, handling and containing threats.

And remember, most people can't see dragons. The only person we know for sure can is Link. So that big finale battle, no one saw it.

And what does Link know of the Demon King? He knows what Rauru, Zelda's memories, and Kohga tell him. That's it.

I think the most significant thing about this is that it can very easily be argued that Link doesn't particularly give a damn about Ganondorf, just as the rest of Hyrule doesn't really either. By far the bigger motivator for Link, and the primary concern among the people of Hyrule, is finding Zelda. Everyone wants their beloved princess back.

Which is quite the opposite of what Rhoam once tried to shame Zelda into believing Hyrule would think of her.

Even for Link, at the very start, his primary concern wasn't the Demon King who just crippled him. It was diving after Zelda.

Makes me curious what story they're actually hinting at telling.

Carve Out Some Time for the Cassowary

Famous for their bright colors and short tempers, cassowaries are a group of flightless birds in the genus Casuarius. There are three species: the Northern Cassowary (C. unappendiculatus) which is found in New Guinea; the Southern Cassowary (C. casuarius), native southern New Guinea and northern Australia; and the Dwarf Cassowary (C. bennetti), endemic to New Guinea and the surrounding islands. All three species prefer tropical forests, though they are known to venture into savannahs, wetlands, and suburban areas in search of food.

Cassowaries are mainly active at dawn and dusk, and spend the time in between in their nests-- large pads of vegetation built on the ground. They opportunistic omnivores; their primary source of food is fruit and fungi, but they will also eat insects, frogs, fish, birds, small mammals, and carrion when available. Much of the fruit they eat is swallowed whole, which makes cassowaries invaluable for spreading seeds throughout their range. Additionally, due to their large size, adult cassowaries have no natural predators, and will aggressively defend their young from predators like snakes, monitor lizards, birds of prey, and wild dogs. When startled this birds can run up to 50 kph (31 mph), or lash out with their powerful legs.

Members of the Casuarius genus are solitary, save for the reproductive season. This season runs from May to September, when fruit is most abundant. Males maintain and defend territories, and call to attract mates. These calls are extremely loud, and at one of the lowest frequencies of any known bird, at about 23 Hertz. When a female approaches, the male crouches and allows the female to inspect him. She may also chase him, typically into water where the two perform a ritualistic fight before she submits. After laying her eggs, the female will move on to another male’s territory.

The eggs are extremely large and bright green, and usually laid in clutches of four. The male alone tends these eggs, incubating them and maintaining the nest for 50-52 days. The chicks that emerge stay with him for an additional 8-9 months until they become independent. Individuals take up to three years to become fully mature, and the average lifespan of wild Casuarius is anywhere from 30 to 50 years.

Southern Cassowaries are the largest of the three species, at up to 1.8 m (5ft 11 in) tall and weighing 58 kg (130 lbs) on average. Females tend to be much larger than males, and the species is considered to be the largest in Asia and the 3rd largest in the world. The Dwarf Cassowary, as the name implies, is significantly smaller at only 1.5m (4ft 11in) tall and 26 kg (57 lbs) at maximum. Northern Cassowaries lie between the two extremes. While all three species have black bodies, the coloration of their heads and necks vary significantly. Both the Northern and Southern Cassowary species have wattles-- pouches of skin that dangle from the neck-- that can be red, gold, purple, or white, which contrasts sharply with their blue necks. The Dwarf Cassowary lacks a wattle, and has a darker blue neck. In addition, it has the smallest head crest, or casque,; the Southern Cassowary’s casque is blade-shaped, and larger than the Dwarf Cassowary’s. The Northern Cassowary’s casque is more flared, and the largest of the three species.

Conservation Status: The Dwarf and Northern Cassowary species are considered Near Threatened and Least Concern respectively by the IUCN, while the Southern Cassowary is classified as endangered. All three are threatened primarily by habitat loss.

The Length Of Almost Every Episode In The Moomin Comic Strip

The Moomin comic strip written and drawn by Tove Jansson, then written by Lars and drawn by Tove Jansson, then written and drawn by Lars Jansson, had a total of 73 distinct stories under its banner after a lifetime of 21 years, but how long are those individual stories, by strip number? If you want to find out, this post is for you!

Unfortunately unlike some Moomin fans I don't have every single story (especially the later ones) in my grubby little paws so I can't tell you the length of those, but if you happen to be one of those fans who do have those comics in their grubby little paws, please be a dear and tell me for how many strips those stories took to tell their truly wonderful stories of borderline illegal shenaniganary committed by the main characters, underbaked political commentary and benevolent racism (uhm. Just talking about Lars' writing choices there).

Some Grimmsnarl headcanons :3

Grimmsnarls are highly intelligent creatures, they use their superior sense of smell to find food, they are opportunistic eaters meaning they’ll eat things like carcasses if they can’t find any food in their territory.

When it’s cold out, multiple Grimmsnarls will huddle up in a tight spot like a corner for warmth, they use their heat and hair as insulation, these “knots” or “clumps” can also include Morgrems and Impidimps that have no shelter from the cold.

A group of Grimmsnarl is called a “knot”, referring to their hair covered bodies

Grimmsnarls can show affection in many ways, they’ll rub up against you, they kiss by licking either your hand or face depending on how much they trust you, they can hug you (be cautious when letting one hug you since their grips can be very strong)

Wild Grimmsnarls live in dens and other similar spaces, a den mostly consists of a pair of male and female Grimmsnarls, mating pairs stay with each other for life

Some behaviour of Grimmsnarls is reminiscent of cats, they groom themselves, their mates and their young, as a result of this they sometimes cough up hairballs, they purr when they feel content or happy

Some Grimmsnarls communicate by vocalizations while others are capable of speech

Grimmsnarl mothers are incredibly protective and loving towards their young, baby Grimmsnarls are called “pups” or “puppies” a Grimmsnarl’s lifespan extends 500 years or more, an average Grimmsnarl litter contains 1-6 pups

Grimmsnarl mothers use their sheddings similar to how birds use down for nesting material

Grimmsnarl sheddings can be used to create clothing like fur coats, fur boots etc

There’s different breeds of Grimmsnarl, normal (wild), show/beauty, ensnarement/catch assist, battle/labour and alpha which are Titus and Aphrodite, and Atlas since he’s their offspring

Most show Grimmsnarls are shinies with hair that almost glows, the gem in their chest may be brighter and shinier than a normal Grimmsnarl’s gem

Grimmsnarls are very loyal towards their owners, they’ll do anything to ensure the safety of their trainers, they are also very affectionate

Here’s a age chart for Grimmsnarls

1-2 = newborn

2-15 = baby

15-30 = toddler

30-70 = preteen

70-100 = teenage

100-380 = adult

380-500+ = elder

A Grimmsnarl’s hair needs to be properly maintained to ensure its healthiness and effectiveness in battle, a Grimmsnarl must be bathed at least once a day with shampoo and conditioner that has little to no harsh chemicals, their hair must be brushed three times a day

So called ‘Glimwood Imps’ love shiny objects, if you ever anger a Morgrem or Grimmsnarl, get something shiny and toss it aside, they get distracted easily.

Grimmsnarls clean their young with their tongues, like a mother cat cleaning her kittens.

Half shiny Grimmsnarls are a common amongst trainers who look for beauty in their Pokémon, their unique hair and skin patterns are sought after as well

Chimerism is almost 50% guaranteed if one parent is normal and the other is a shiny

Morgrems have a very rare chance of being born with fully functional wings, each winged Morgrem has a unique and distinct pattern on their wings

There’s an obscure breed of Grimmsnarl that only exists through a royal bloodline of sorts and that’s the alphas, Titus and Aphrodite are the current alphas, Atlas is known as the young Prince

A Grimmsnarl has been located as far as the shores of Alola, she’s the only documented Grimmsnarl on the islands and considered the only native Alolan Grimmsnarl since she was born and raised there by a since deceased parent, she lives in a old warehouse with a gang of young wayward Ultra Beasts

A Grimmsnarl’s fur will poof up if it has been frightened

Grimmsnarls pose no direct threat to humans unless provoked, a Grimmsnarl’s claws are sharp enough to slice someone’s head clean off

Grimmsnarls will eat pretty much anything food wise, they’re omnivorous and sometimes opportunistic eaters meaning if they’re actively starving they’ll eat anything they can find

Their diet mainly consists of fruits, vegetables and meats

Pixie mainly eats fruits and some raw fish every once in a while

Atlas is a little picky, he’ll eat certain things only if they’re cut up into bite sized pieces

Titus is a big meat lover, as an active hunter he brings home deers and other animals he’s hunted and makes meals for himself and the other sanctuary residents though most of its for him, he stores some of the bones he gets from his carcasses and stored them in his family den just outside of sanctuary boundaries for later since he likes to chew on them and clean off some meat he missed

Atlas likes his meat cooked, he’s afraid of getting parasites from raw meat, though a Grimmsnarl’s gut bacteria helps to mitigate the chances of any parasites doing any harm, he also meat if it’s cut up into little pieces, he hates the taste and texture of gristle and cheap $1 meat cuts

A Grimmsnarl’s stomach acid is much stronger than a human’s, some say it can burn through titanium with ease

It also makes for one hell of a heartburn, Grimmsnarls often stop eating when they have heartburn because of how uncomfortable and painful their gut feels, it can become a problem if they haven’t eaten anything for days on end, there have been some antacids made specifically for a ailing Grimmsnarl though some might refuse to take it fearing that it’ll make their heartburn worse

In winter or somewhere with cold climates, a Grimmsnarl’s hair grows to be very thick to shield them from the cold and snow, paired with their extreme sense of smell and hearing, Grimmsnarls have been used to aid in rescue teams in the arctic and after avalanches. As the seasons turn to spring and summer, the temperature starts to warm up, since they have no use for their winter fur they shed it off to make way for thinner hair that makes it easier to tolerate the hot climates, winter Grimmsnarl sheddings are highly sought after for their thickness and softness, sheddings have been used for stuffing, sewing material, a substitute for fur coats/boots and more

Titus has trouble keeping cool in the summer since his hair is naturally dense, Azimuth gives him ton of frozen treats and keeps a fan or two by his favourite resting spot in the living room

Atlas loves the heat, he can’t wait for summer when he can play outside and bask in the sun, he likes to take like naps by the pool and soak up the sun, he also takes his new buddy Masky out to sunbathe with him, he thinks she’ll grow big and beautiful if she gets lots of sunlight

Pixie also likes to sunbathe and nap in the sun, her pure white hair repels heat, the sun also reflects the sunlight off her hair which will make it appear that she’s glowing if you look at her at the right angle

OC summaries again cause I've been cooking

Alexei Sparrowhawk (sona) Half Finnish, half Jorvegian, born in Dundull, had a pretty average small town childhood full of eating bugs and exploring the woods. She grew somewhat estranged from her mother due to them having differing opinions on the future. She works as a Jorvik ranger and due to her deep affinity with the wilderness she does primarily survey work deeper in Wildwoods than anybody else wants to. She also keeps tabs on the Jorvik Wild Horse population and plans to write a book about them. She lives most of her days in a small camp by a cave in the cliff face, and on the hill above there's a fire tower.

Alexei once adopted 5 fledgeling Jackdaws, who she named Luna, Stelle, Sol, Fulgur, and Lux. Luna ended up being the only male of the bunch, and Lux is leucistic with a very faint, creamy color. They are all now grown up but like to hang around her camp and bring her trinkets from time to time.

Irina Kaamos Alexei's mother. Finnish woman who grew up in North Karelia. Moved to Jorvik to start an equestrian business, then got married to a local. Runs a small-ish stable in the outskirts of Dundull, where she raises horses and organizes trail rides and longer hikes for locals and tourists alike.

Frederik Sparrowhawk I don't know much about him aside that he's Alexei's father, he's a sailor and spends most of his time out at sea. He likely grew up in Goldenhills and later moved to Jorvik city. Like most Jorvegians, love of horses runs in his blood.

How Alexei's parents met is a bit of a mystery, but I think what's most likely is Frederik's ship stopped to unload in Dundull, and they bumped into each other in a cafe, maybe literally and he accidentally spilled some coffee onto Irina's clothes, and he gave her his number and told her to call him on the day they would be in Jorvik City so he could properly apologize.

Tomie Axemoor British Indian background, grew up in London, came to Jorvik for university and ended up properly immigrating after graduation. She has a degree in history that she hasn't managed to do anything with yet. She lives in Firgrove where she makes ends meet by working at the stables. She makes a little extra money taking and selling photos but it's not much. Kind of an otaku. Occasional alcohol abuse to drown out the meaningless of life.

Quicksilver Jorvik Wild Horse mix stallion, grew up as a Warror and lives in Wildwoods, the usual. Kind of an underdog in his herd due to most Warriors being rather large and him being mixed with a smaller breed of horse, to which the others just thought he was a runt. Met Alexei as a yearling and lived in Dundull a bit, then once Alexei started living in Wildwoods full time he came with her and is her go-to horse. They can talk to eachother because cool horse island magic powers, but he's the only horse Alexei can understand. A bit naïve and hotheaded with a deep bitterness towards the other Jorvik Wilds, but he has a good heart when it comes to people.

Jellybean Tomie's rescue horse, a bit larger than breed standard Dartmoor pony mare. Back when Tomie was just finished with university, her and her friends got a hint about a kill-buyer horse shipment that had been delayed and they decided to break down the fences. The operation was kind of a mess but they managed to round up a few horses at a nearby stable, and one of those horses was Jellybean. She was thin but otherwise healthy, and she's part of the reason Tomie moved to Firgrove, as one of her friends had connections and a few other rescues were moved there. Jellybean is rather grumpy and lazy, and the vet estimated her to be almost 20, so she spends most of her time on pastures or walks enjoying life.

[shysheeperz]

love ur blog!! I check it out before starting an anime/manga 💞

just wondering do u have any recommendations for complete anime/mangas?

thank u either way!!!

Completed??????

Manga:

Fullmetal Alchemist- the gold standard

Silver Spoon- by the same person who did FMA. Agricultural school stuff. Cute.

Agravity Boys- space sci-fi gag comedy, a wild ride to say the least, I miss my stupid boys

Magu-chan: God of Destruction- cute digimon/pokemon-shaped gods get woken up and mingle with a bunch of middle schoolers. Cute fluff mostly, will occasionally pull at your heartstrings (including the ending)

High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku- comedy/ slice of life, about an entire family attending high school. Has a volleyball arc that rivals the likes in haikyuu!!

Haikyuu!!-sports manga, if you want to cry over boys and their love for the game then this is for you, Boys x Volleyball is the tru otp of the show

Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku- dark historical fantasy, so very, very good. Don't get attached.

Dr. STONE- sci fi, technically the main story is complete. We still have been getting the occasional side chapter or three that continue where the main story left off tho. A very solid shonen jump series. includes one of the best shonen jump dads in the history of ever. Will make u emotional over lightbulbs and stuff. hard not to root for the main cast.

Dr. STONE Reboot: Byakuya- a non-canon little one volume spin-off about byakuya and mainly about a funky lil robot that will make you sob uncontrollably I'd personally say to read up to the end of the Treasure Island arc in the main story first before tackling this one (about ch 140ish)

Dr. STONE 4D Science- a continuation of the main story, only a couple chapters, the ending is a really cruel tease imo and if Inagaki/Boichi don't give us more may they be cursed to lose all their left shoes forever

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Sanji- spin-off of sanji side stories by the duo who did food Wars. ONE PIECE related ofc. Tasty looking food. Sanji too cool for school. One volume.

Astra Lost in Space- space sci fi survival, solid story that deserves more appreciation, the ending is just a tad lackluster in actually showing what a lot of readers would have liked to physically see. By no means ruins the story tho.

Blue Flag (Ao no Flag)- high school, romance, slice of life, boys and gals just trying to figure out life and relationships. Solid.

Mashle: Magic and Muscles- gag comedy that leans a little too much into the shonen battle-esque stuff towards the end imo, but a decently enjoyable time. A mash up of Harry Potter and other various manga like mob, opm, etc.

Mitama Security: Spirit Busters- comedy, axed but I enjoyed it. Goofy fun. nothing spectacular but reading it won't hurt anyone.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes- spin-off of mha obviously, average joe Koichi >>> deku FIGHT ME, the goodest of boys, world building u don't get in the main series, Aizawa's backstory, Knuckleduster is the man the myth the legend.

Chihayafuru- screaming crying throwing up, it's niche it's technically a sports manga, romance, female MC, growth™, love triangle but at the end of the day that's not what's important

My Love Mix-Up!- comedy romance, big big mix-up on who loves who and lots of shenanigans ensue.

Noragami- TECHNICALLY not complete until like 2 days from now when the final chapter releases. my emotions! MY EMOTIONS!!!! 😭

Gintama- comedy/gag with dashes of really good drama

I have no idea what your tastes are, anon, so here's a mix that I've personally enjoyed. Some of them were axed, but technically that makes them complete so I included them :P yes I cheated.

Anime:

There's a lot less of them bc I haven't actually watched a lot of completed series.

Run with the Wind- more boys x sports but this time it's about running. Also the boys are in college. Will trick u into wanting to run.

91 days- ol timey story about VENGEANCE. Set during the prohibition.

Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann- makes you emotional and feel all fuzzy inside, sci fi, mecha

Cowboy Bebop- a classic

Samurai Champloo- also a classic and I actually prefer this one over cowboy bebop tbh, god tier baseball episode

Astra Lost in Space-the anime version, if you'd prefer watching over reading, but I always prefer manga > anime just cause.

FMA 03/FMA BROTHERHOOD- the gold standard. I appreciate both versions. 03 goes the anime original ending root bc obviously the manga wasn't completed yet no biggie.

Mob Psycho 100- MOB!MOB!MOB! and tumblr sexy man reigen arataka

Gintama- animated version alternative lol. The voice actors bring the characters to life.

Obv there are the old school classics like Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Gundam and all that jazz if you haven't already checked out some of those. Oldies but goodies.

Lady Dior and the Seven Dilfs

Chapter 4: First Order of Business

Masterlist

Ghost, Soap, Gaz and you eventually took turns in aim training, knife throwing and handgun shooting. it was actually quite fun. A little about your before-military-background, you used to shoot water guns when youre 3, BB gel guns when youre about 7 and youve won arcade games for your little niece when youre 14.

a lot of arcade games. your younger cousins always look up on you whenever you won them prizes from huge plushies, Hotwheels, even legos.

speaking of guns, you've surfaced to the depth of the internet back when you were young. having to use your mother's iPad to access such gores and disturbing content. Adapting to the FBI, forced to eliminate people off, you had absolutely no problem.

Empathy and sympathy is out of the window. your past relationship with you ex boyfriends left you quite heartless. you got scammed in Roblox once, it is merely a canon event. the homeless guy you give your spare change to molested a school girl once and you beat him until he lost vision. world hasn't been treating you well, and you just go with the flow and give zero fucks to nearly anyone.

"nice shot, (y/n)." Gaz rests his hand to your back. you sighed proudly, "Thanks, Gaz!" you nudged his side. "You got any question, (y/n)? you said you're a little less experienced with sub machine guns." Soap stored the unused MSMC.

Back in your FBI days, handguns are the most effecient weapon you can handle. It's been a while since the last time you were using the automatic rifles because your all-gun training was when youre in early 20s. you never liked heavy machinery gun because theyre too hefty for you to bring anywhere.

you prefer something quiete, small but fast. you prefer sniper as long ranged, revolver or a usp for mid combat and knifes for close. In your horse riding phase, you possessed an archery skill. you were slightly above average but stopped after your arrow accidently killed a wild bunny.

"I genuinely think they are too heavy for me. in what I observe in myself, I think im far much better using snipers, handguns or knifes." You reloaded your empty mags of revolver. "Lads," Price peeked his head out as the four of you turned to the source of the voice. "Lets do some deathmatch."

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

"Okay the goal is basically deathmatch." Price gave everyone a compass to keep track of where we going. "but, all of you will be using either the paintbal or" he paused for a moment. "an airsoft."

You raised your eyebrow with a questioning look. "what about the mission?" Price looked at you while wearing a sunglasses and a fisherman hat, "Oh, Laswell contacted me and she said we should take our time training. the mission takes place in a deserted island. That is why I decided to play a game of deathmatch." He smiles.

"any questions?" Prive crosses his arm. "Where are you gonna wait?" Soap tilt his head, "duh" he pointed his thumb to the white single chair beach bench behind Gaz. "and youre going to..?" Gaz unfinished question turned into a hum, "I'm gonna chill. you kids go fight. also, dont aim for the head." Ghost, Gaz and Soap sprinted at the last words. leaving you and Price alone.

"(y/n), why dont you go with them?" Price walked over his bench and sat like a retired dad. "Um.. captain," you held your fingers together. "Yes, (y/n). I'm all ears." Gaz took out a newspapers and widened the main page. "By any chance, do you have a..." you cringed at your request.

"combat bow? yellow lid below the wooden table under the ventilation." Price flipped a page, which cause your eyes to spark. "Howd you know?" You smiled at him. "I bought that for you the time your demotion letter were sent to me. archery was in your resume." He sipped his lemonade, still reading the newspapers.

you instantly love him. his gesture of kindness tattooed your head, you have to give him something special for him one day or another. "what are you waiting for, go get it." He flips the paper again. "Thank you!!" you got to your feet towards the airsoft shed.

upon arrival, you saw Gaz, Ghost and Soap chattering together with weapons in their grasp. all of them were in full airsoft gear and it was your first time seeing them in full combat attire. you felt butterflies in your stomach when they walked pass you.

shooking you head, you manage to get in the shed and find the box Price told you to get. you opened it and revealed a beautiful matte black curve bow with strong wires perfectly fit for field combat. but below the shaped foam, you noticed there was another bow.

it was a compound bow. with an armguard, quiver and a few customizable arrows. but what caught you is two kunais and some static ropes. you smiled to yourself and quickly geared up.

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

"I bet you don't last 5 minutes, Jhonny." Ghost mocked. "How do you know, I do cardio at least twice a week." Soap clucked his airsfot shotgun. "How are you going to last more than that in forest when you barely awake 2 minutes in bed." Ghost places his airsoft m4 to his shoulders. Gaz looked at the both of them terrified.

"Hey guys, sorry I took long." the three of them shifted their gaze at you, frozen in place. "I was actually struggling but Did i wear my harness correctly?" you turned your back facing them. the way the straps makes your thigh squished and your ass popping makes all of their jaw dropped.

"remember to stay focus, brothers." Price coughed loud enough for them breaking their gaze. "I-I mean.. you look good (y/n). I- Its just-" Soap flick his shirt as a fan as you walk towards them. "Is it hot in here?" Gaz did the same, waving his hand to his burning face, "Are you hot, (y/n)? I mean you are hot- I mean-" he snickered to himself as Ghost playfully smack the back of his head. "Mouth."

you tied the rope to the round hole in the edge of the kunai, tightening it. "Holy shit, are you going to kill us for real?" Gaz watched you taking out a real knife. "Oh, fuck. no I'm planning to climb the trees with these."

you chuckled at him the re-adjusted the strings of your bow, making sure its not loose. "are you sure youre going to wear that?" Ghost pawn himself to you, looking down to your bow then your shoes. "Oh, this?" you furrowed your eyebrow and look straight to his eyes. "No, the boots." He sternly replied.

you wore a black sleeveless turtleneck and a tight black gym pants. Soap told you wearing these wont affect much training in the range but for outdoors, I think (y/n looks fine.

You are wearing a Bershka buckle heeled Boots in black. you swifted your foot to the side, showing the shine of the leather to him then scoffed. "At least I want to be stylish when defeating you. humph," you walk past him but he stopped you by placing his enormous hand to your stomach level.

"I know its painful wearing heeled footwear, (y/n)." you look at him SURPRISINGLY soft. "As long you are comfortable, you can use anything you want. just remember, theres no fashion standards in here. Please make yourself pleasant." he finished and joined the others to the starting line, leaving you flabbergasted.

'THE COLD CASPER IS TELLING YOU TO MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME. THE COLD CASPER IS TELLING YOU TO MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME. THE COLD CASPER IS TELLING YOU TO MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.' its not a flooded thoughts anymore, its a fucking tsunami.

"alright, sergeants. get into position." Price stated, still in his beach dad mode. you clung the bow to your back feeling soap's eyes at you. "You seriously gonna use that thing?" He chuckled. "I like my fighting style similar to my money," you draw a smirk "Old money."

"ready?" you stanced ass up, of course theyre gazing at you. "set," you draw sketches in your mind what to do next. "Go!" you lunged your knees so fast it left a hole in the ground. you felt yellings from behind, mostly Gaz and Soap's

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT SHES FAST" you cant tell if thats Gaz's or Soap's. you were far beyond allready. with your tied knifes, you jumped and throw one of it towards a huge tree and swing towards those steady large stem, climbing it.

the heels you wore made you climb the trees easier. it spikes your weight to the brances and makes you jump easier. even though you feel a slight pain in the joint in every step, you gaslight yourself that you are fine.

from tree to trees you go. you have the lower body power of a God. in distinction to thousands of miles walking around a shopping centre from around the world, your legs can kick nearly 100,000franklins. not a world record, but still something youre proud about.

you tried to look around for your first victim, but your focus was striked as a paintball went close to your side, painting blue at the branch you sat on. "You missed!" you yelled at whoever shot that to you and quickly jump to another tree

you guess that was Gaz but he was nowhere in your sight. you gambled your guesses that Soap mightve been close to Gaz because the two of them are most likely too noisy to be hidden. hunting Ghost would be the hardest for you but you want to at least beat someone.

as you were on top, you took your bow and get the arrow into the sight, aiming to the grown. you saw Soap creeping around tall grasses from an approximately 40 meters north-east in your position. you shot your plunger arrows towards Soap's shoulder and he screamed in high pitch.

"Fuck! good job, (L/N)! wherever you are.. oh there you are" Soap waved his hands at you which you returned. "I was about to aim to your heart but I'm afraid you might fall for me, Scrub daddy." you winked at him and jump to another tree, searching for Gaz.

Gaz, from another slight distance got scared from the scream and quickly scattered. you were to quick to guess where he went, but your focus broke when a splatter of paint went through your side hitting a tree. "Fuck." you quicken your pace to find a safer spot to camp.

you heard a low grunt from somewhere and assumed quickly that was Ghost. not wanting to waste anymore time, you swung yourself throught the branches from one and another, still getting shot at from behind. this time, Gaz spotted you.

Seeing a bush of plants, you rolled yourself mid air and down to the ground swiftly equip your bow to shot. refusing to make any sound, you stood still waiting for Gaz to approach you first. "(y/n), i saw you~" Gaz whistled and nerved his gun.

From the source of his voice, you knew he is around front-right side of your spot. you observe how the wind blows and the sound of leaves brushing againts each other, you pulled the arrow close to the side of your ear, aiming and gambled on how he made sounds.

one snap of a twig, you swifted your left hand and release. "OW JESUS FUCK" Gaz's claim gave a wave of relief in your heart. you pushed the bush away revealing Gaz holding his thigh with a plunged arrow sticking out.

"You okay, Gazzy?" you cooed and leaned to the tree. "Fuck you're so good, (y/n). good job." he laughed and walk towards Price's previous spot. "hm, kinky." you walk the other direction. he probably came at your statement.

You jabbed the Kunai side by side, creating a rope trap for Ghost if he ever cross the path. You knew hes not easy to caught but the least you can do is having something to watch your back. proud of your (not) good idea, you climbed a tree and hid.

not too long after, you heard rustling from across your tree. taking your chances, you aimed at whatever made that noise. and there you can see it, the top of his helmet. You gave him a warning shot by aiming inches from his head.

you peered your gaze down to your trap, biting your lip when the trap you set was disabled. "Fuck, he knew." you hissed and looked back at your compound sight.

you lost him after. you stood lazily on top of the branch and tried to look around. not long after you felt a piercing gaze from the right side of your view. you shot another arrow to a suspicious bush. but suddenly a paintbullet striked at the side of your face hitting the tree, but you anchored your body to the side too heavily.

you dodged a bullet, thats one realisation. second, you lost balance and fell. "(Y/N)!" Ghost's source of voice is nowhere to be seen but you feel yourself falling to the ground.

you landed nape first and you laid down in silent. "Fuck." you grunt in pain, crawling to the clostest bush you can find just to be hidden from plain sight. unfortunately, it has thorns but you were too lightheaded to feel more pain. you pull out your bow again and aimed towards your guesses for Ghost's bearing.

feeling your head dizzy, you accidently released your arrow and you fell to your stomach, now exposed to the forest and the person you shot. to your surprise, you saw Ghost standing in the distance, with your plunge arrow right in his heart.

at least thats what you saw before you blacked out. "Bloody fucking hell, (y/n)" You feel a soft touch to your shoulders and your back is met by a fleshy feeling. you assumed that someone placed your head to their lap. "Holy shit," Gaz's voice lingered around the air as you just painfully still there. "Did she hit her head? yes she fuckin did oh my God" you could hear Soap opening a zipper.

"I lost my vision," you said laying still in assumeable Ghost's lap. "She lost her vision?!" Gaz crawled to your side. "How many fingers am I holdin?!" He hold out two fingers. "....ten" you muttered. "Oh shit she did-" Gaz said as Soap poured out the contents of his bag.

"Fuck I forgot my portable medkit." He curses. "This will do," you feel yourself ascending to the air as Ghost picked you up, not bothering about the arrow that plunged in his chest. "Gaz, Soap, clean her shit. now." He tosses you to his shoulders unintentionally bared your ass out which made the other two stared. "Eyes down, sergeants." Ghost hissed at the two as he ran out of the forest.

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

"You're not going to die, (y/n)." Price said patching up your back. you got a twig and a few cut thorns sticking in your back. you got blacked out for a few moments because your head was thrashed to a nearby rock. "But captain technically I'm dead now.." you muttered and whinced in pain as he pull the last thorn in your back.

"Why are you dead, (y/n)?" Price dabbed rubbing alcohol to a cotton to your back. "My skin is all bruised up now... my years of bodycare routine is wasted." You pouted to him. "(y/n), you'll be facing worser gushes than this. you have to manage, alright?" he wrapped a bandage over your stomach and back. "even with scars, you are still a beautiful girl."

you got back outside the field to see Gaz, Soap, and Ghost surrounding a table. you peered over to see and your eyes widened in horror. you compound bow broke into pieces as the only thing keeping it together is the strings. "Oh my God I barely used that" your knees weakened and Soap caught you on time.

"its alright, We'll tell the factory to make another." Soap patted your head and leered to your exposed bandages. "You good? I mean these" he poked your back and you stood at your feet. "Oh those are fines just a small cut." you place your hands to your hips and swayed to the side, "I'm hurt but I still look hot." you blew a kiss to him which he sneered.

"Alright, folks. Let's talk about illegal smuggling." Price place himself between you and Soap as Gaz and Ghost across the three of you. "Yippie!" you clasp your hand excitedly and watch Price scroll open the map. "(y/n), thats...not something to 'yippe' about.." Gaz frowned. "I'd like to have a coquette war crime." you sway your hair.

"Laswell detected an illegal drug smuggling and suspicious movement in the east. unfortunately they have a hostage." your smile dropped. "An Iranian prisoner is loose and assumeably made a new base undergound Verdansk," Price marked a specific land in the map with a red ink. "the hostage is an 18 years old daughter of the legislation supreme court"

when Price was explaining the mission, Ghost stared at you with an empty expression. his eyes look dull and dark. you noticed this but tried so hard to not exchange look with him.

you knew this is would be going down, you overheard Kate Laswell talking about it to your former chief, Artofay. It was bigger than what Price is explaining right now but you conclude hes just simplifying things out to make the mission more pivot. if it weren't for the demotion, you're probably at a spa right now getting ready to slay this mission over.

maybe in another universe, Leon Kennedy was your husband and you didn't get demoted. another probability that you are 141's intel for Verdansk but instead you're here being in the same team and deployed on field.

"I want everyone to be careful because we have no idea what drug they have," Price pointed the Verdansk city and Urziskan city. "there could be an injection drug, an epi-pen drug, gas drug. Verdansk is the orginate of the underground black market. I want to hear no report about any of you getting drugged." Price's tone turned sharp and serious.

"Pack for a week, we'll leave tomorrow by dusk." "Yes sir." we said in unison. "Gaz, I want you in the front line with me, Soap you will be a recon, Ghost as a watchtower and (y/n)," the mens tilts to you. "No heels." you gasped in offended.

"What?! thats bullshit." you protested. "you're bullshit," Ghost spat out. "Ghost!" Price beats the potential arguement. Gaz and soap looked at each other knowing its not the right time to talk or joke about it. "(y/n), I understand how much...vogue meant to you. but we will be going to a possible hostilities," Price softly explain to you like you are 5. "I'd like for you to wear something...safe." he finishes.

"Captain, I refuse." This time you stated coldly. "I'd like to prove it to you that I'm a woman whose capable of engaging any sort of combat in any sort of attire," You took a deep leap of faith. working in heels wasn't just a bragging thing, but its your signature way in doing your job.

Its also another way for you to remember that you mothet is always watching you. Heels meant more than fashion to you, you hold on to her decaying memories by wearing them nearly every occassion. Your mom is a huge poignant figure in your life and you'd force yourself to remember her as much as you can for the rest of your life.

but the men you're dealing now, they ain't shit. this is why you prefered working alone or with girls back in the FBI. but you don't expect the world to revolve around you, it's not how it works. really sucked to be integrated with a group of people who doesn't understand you except yourself.

that's where you have to save yourself, because who will?

"If you know about the compound bow, then I assume you know the reason behind the heels, right captain?" you smiled softly, yet cold. your eyes like siren, gazing to him for ruth.

he finally sighs in defeat, "Only if you bring a back up shoe. you know what? dismiss. 6PM in my office though." he rubbed his temper, which made Ghost iritated. "Thank you, pops!" you hugged him tightly enough to make him croaked and walk away happily leaving the four behind.

"Captain." Ghost looked to Price drawing dissapointed in his gaze. "Ghost." Price is too tired to argue with the skull man allready, Soap held Ghost's shoulder and sighs. "..Jhonny," The british tilt his head down to his mohawk. "Nah, man. let her be." Gaz commented at the telepathy phenomenon.

"Bloody fucking hell all she had to do was listen." Ghost grunts and anchored his fist to the table. "You doubt too much, Riley." Price exclaimed. "Do you not see she fell from a tree because of those damned heels?" Ghost pointed back to the forest they were practicing at. "Riley, she shot an arrow to your heart with a compound bow like a cupid, don't get me started." Price took out a cigar and lit it up.

Gaz and Soap wheezed at the fact you technically won the friendly deathmatch but stopped when Ghost glared at them. "Have a little faith, believe her for once." He huffed out the nicotine air. "Just because shes new in here, you shouldn't forgot where she came from. She goes to hell like a vacation," Price shooks the cigar, letting the ashes fall to the ground.

"The Devil wears Prada, Riley."

Untouched Horizons Timeline 2/-

The Formation of Zones and First Cold War

-1582

A few native earth plant species are introduced but not many

The new plan is to establish several outposts and break the island into regions to make it easier to tend

A House will formed

They will, as a unit, be given a territory to maintain for 2 years with one long break in the middle

then they have a year off for the Houses to reconvene and interbreed

They will also have time to do other House business before getting their next assignment

A House is ruled by one or several qiins, each representative is left to the House itself to decide

There will be a series of jdaginds to maintain and run the Hive, lots of day to day internal work

And there will be a large series of shrar to work the lands outside the Hive

For the next two years there will be lots of political maneuvering of qiins trying to band together or convince enough people that they have the willpower to form a Great House

Who will go with who, who is offering what, one qiin atop it all or several? Lots of things going on

-1581

The first election of an administrative house to do a 2 year rotation in the colony to oversee the city and everything (including the few remaining scouts)

Great Houses are formed and are recruiting under various qiins; 21 total

21 houses with an average of 580 people making it up

There are inter-House elections for representatives to stay within the Zlicchaser and essentially function as Senators

-1580

The first term out in the wilds is drawn, political favors are extended for seemingly more favorable positions and whatever

The first decision is to make the first term 4 years so that outposts can be built, infrastructure built, that kind of stuff

20 zones, not including Zlicchaser

-1576

The last four years has been the building of the outposts and connected waterways

The island’s ecosystem is doing much better, the animals they’ve found are starting to thrive in expected ways, nothing truly unexpected happening just yet

There is one major problem as everyone’s time is up at the same time so the entire population returns to the colony for their “shore leave” and it is a debauched party for several months and a large population spike

-1575

A new administration is election and the 2 year rotation is drastically changed

Great House: House of the High Sun (Ziiryaukste Gankt)

The House rotations are much more staggered, there is a lot system implemented

The work season/election cycle is now 30 months now: 24 on, 6 off, no more than 4 Houses off at the same time

2 slots are split at the beginning and end of the thing as it is seen as the worst ones

For the ecosystem, some scientists suggest that for an ideal set, they’d like 600 Great Houses but they are extremely underpopulated for it but that will change in time

There are complicated rules for making and splitting of Houses

There are even more complicated inter-House rules for the same thing

-1572

The first suggestion to extend term limits is denied

First petition to remain on land tries and fails to get a unanimous vote

An allied house of Gankt (High Sun) gets elected to the administrative position for the season: Chauigtsoond House (Plentiful Choond, a plant from Yatz that is known and prized for its flavorful purple berries)

-1569

Gankt (High Sun) is returned to the administrative seat, the flaw in the system is exposed

-1566

Chauigtsoond House gets the administrative seat once again

Outrage is had but there is no way to prove the election was rigged

-1563

The final act of Chauigtsoond House is to grant a request from Gankt (High Sun) to claim a zone for itself, which is of course the richest zone

The other houses are incensed

They reject the claim on the land and force Chauigtsoond House out of their positions

When the pushback happens, the allied Houses cannot stand against the willful neglect of the other 16 houses

All of this leads to a cold war

-1560

The cold war is between 16 houses and the 5 allied houses who have been trying to take power

An ally house is in the administrative house

The other houses refuse to let any business get done so they veto everything on purpose

Trade embargoes, the other houses are under no obligation to trade with them so they don’t, isolating the other 5 houses which wouldn’t be a bad thing except for

Attacks on the trade-ways between houses

Minor violence

Rivers are damned, supplies attacked and stolen

Somehow all out war is mostly avoided

-1558

The season comes to an end and the 16 houses demand a vote for the new administrative house which the 5 allied houses can’t not agree with

When a new system is in place the residency of Gankt (High Sun) is revoked, and the scandal is revealed

Gankt (High Sun) is forcibly disbanded

Their allied houses are deliberately placed within the lots to be as separate as possible so they cannot meet even during their off times

Rules are established as to which house can be administrative and for how long and for how many times in a set period

A circle pattern is established for rotating houses over zones and administrations
