What does it feel like to fuck up everything you have been striving for for half the season?

Girl's Night!

Baroness Von BonBon plans a girl's night with her best friends: Cala Maria, Sally Stageplay, and Hilda Berg. What could go wrong? Oneshot.

It was a wonderful summer evening in Sugarland, and Baroness Von BonBon was just finishing up the icing of the ruffles on her dress, humming to herself ever so sweetly.

She just couldn’t wait for her very good girlfriends to arrive, and to give them all a tour of her wonderful home!

Just as expected, in a few moments she heard the doorbell in the great hall of her candy castle, and she giggled and skipped out to host the sweetest, most delectable girl’s night ever! Oh, there would be a tour, and a big dinner, and then movies, and staying up late, and talking all night-!

“MUFFSKY! GUMBO! WHY AREN’T YOU OUT HERE GREETING MY GUESTS?!” Bonbon screeched. 

Bonbon’s attendants Muffsky Chernikov the muffin and Sargent Gumbo Gumball the gumball machine scattered across the hall in a panic. “Sorry, Miss Bonbon! Sorry!”

Muffsky finally heaved the heavy door open for the Baroness, and in walked Hilda Berg and Sally Stageplay. Behind them, Cala Maria was sitting in an enormous rolling bathtub, which was her go-to travel transportation. 

“Sally!” Bonbon squealed, waving her arms and pressing two quick kisses on either side of the older woman’s face. 

“You’re looking splendid, darling,” the actress said, smiling, “It was so nice of you to invite us all here! I notice my dear frienid Rumor didn't get an invitation.”

"Rumor Honeybottoms and I are no longer on speaking terms," Bonbon said with a dramatic sniff. "She's insulted me and written nasty, hurtful things about the delicious processing that goes into my candy too many times!"

Bonbon then went to embrace Hilda, but the zeppelin woman took a step back and gave her a discouraging look. “No thanks.”

“I heard you have quite a feast for us,” Cala said with a glint in her eye, smiling. “I’m famished!” 

“Yes, yes, of course, sweetie!” Bonbon giggled, squeezing Cala’s hand affectionately. She knew how her large friend had a rather large appetite, and enjoyed some of the same exotic cuisine she loved herself! ���But first, a grand tour!”

She turned back to her attendants. “MUFFSKY! GUMBO! ROLL MS.MARIA AROUND THE GROUNDS!”

Bonbon then smiled and led her three friends around, first showing them a lovely view of the ice cream mountains just beyond the castle walls, and leading them forward and into the magical land of sugar she ruled over.  Meanwhile, her servants shoved and puffed trying to push Cala’s enormous bathtub to keep up with the group. 

“Why, it’s such a perfect place to live!” remarked Sally, gazing in awe at the forest of chocolate bars and rivers of soda. 

Hilda Berg looked somewhat amused as she tasted a low floating cloud of swirling cotton candy. “Logically it makes no sense,” she tutted. 

“When has anything ever had to make sense?” Bonbon laughed, grabbing a can of whipped cream and pouring it into her mouth. “And the best part is, the dirty little children love this place!”

Cala’s eyes brightened. “Yes, do tell us about the dirty little children.” 

Bonbon’s grin widened. “Oh, I’ll tell you. They come in here, sneaking little things! Hungry for my sweet treats, greedy, eating more and more! And once they’re all nice and plump…”

She stopped mid sentence, spit dripping down her chin and breathing hard.

Hilda and Sally were looking at her with confusion.

Bonbon cleared her throat. “Well, you’ll see for yourselves,” she said cheerfully. “It’s just about time for dinner!” 

Once back inside, Bonbon had her guests seated at a giant ornate table in the dining hall.  Cala’s bathtub was wheeled to one end while Bonbon sat at the head of the table, Hilda and Sally being seated on opposite sides. 

“Dinner should be ready in just a few,” Bonbon said excitedly, “so girls, dish! What’s going on with you all lately? What’s going on in the world? On account I can’t really leave Sugarland and all that, y’know?” She burst into maniacal giggles. "And it's been a few months since we all last hung out, ladies!"

“Same old, same old,” Cala Maria said, looking bored with the conversation and running her fingers through her tentacle hair. “Everyday, sailors come, everyday, sailors die. They stand no chance against the seabeast, Cala Maria.” 

“Haven’t you ever thought about settling down and finding someone?” questioned Sally, to which Cala shuddered with disgust. Sally frowned. “Well, the hubby and me are happy. Working and acting together has been so good for our marriage!”

Hilda scoffed, and Sally turned to her. “Well, what about you?”

Hilda crossed her arms. “I’m content just stargazing and reading my fortunes.” 

Bonbon began to giggle uncontrollably. “Not true! I know for a fact that you have a huge crush on Mr. Goopy Le Grande! The last time we were together you practically told me so yourself!”

Hilda’s entire face went as red as her dress. 

“So have you kissed him yet?” Bonbon teased.

���This is why I don’t hang out with you,” Hilda said, covering her face with embarrassment.  

“Dinner is served, Madame Bonbon,” spoke up Sir Wafflington from behind, and some of the other attendants came out from the kitchen wheeling a large trolley with steaming, covered dishes. 

“I hope you all enjoy what I prepared!” Bonbon said sweetly. “It’s my specialty!” 

“Finally!” Cala shouted, tearing off the lid of the dish, “I’ve been looking forward to some delicious, plump-”

She stopped right there. 

Hilda and Sally uncovered their plates too and looked down to see life-sized sweet treats of what looked like children to be on their plates. Two gigantic child-shaped cookies, one with blue and pink icing, the other with nuts, with frozen looks of horror on their faces.

“You like them?” Bonbon asked. “They’re nice and fresh.” 

Cala was furious. “You told me there would be juicy, plump, dirty, disgusting children to eat! Fresh meat! Alive! Not…this!” she fumed, throwing an enormous pink jellyfilled child donut to the floor. “What is this?! This isn’t food! This is…absolutely horrible! You’re a monster!” 

Bonbon gasped in shock.

“Let me get this straight, these are people?” Sally asked with a quivering voice. 

“They were,” Hilda answered, excusing herself from the table.

Sally fainted dramatically. 

“I thought as my bestie, best friends, you’d all like how much effort I put into all this!” cried Bonbon, her big eyes filling with water. “Well fine! Girl’s night is officially off!” 

“Help me,” whimpered one of the candified children weakly. 

Bonbon clapped her hands and made a high, piercing whistle. “Whippet! Whippet!!” 

There was a thunderous shaking, and suddenly the castle itself began to shake and groan. The candy castle was alive, and suddenly gigantic peppermint swirl arms crashed through the sugar crystal ceiling and descended down upon the group.

“That’s a good Whippy-poo,” praised Bonbon, stroking the arm of the horrible castle monster. She then pointed at her friends. “Will you show mumsy’s guests out, please?” 

“Your cupcake poodle is no match for the Cala Maria!” Cala growled, her eyes turning to slits and her tentacles forming into vicious snakes.  One of the giant arms launched at her and grabbed her from her bathtub, wrestling with her for a moment, before flinging her through the shattered ceiling and out of sight with a yell.

The castle made a victorious roaring sound.

“Who’s next?” squeaked Bonbon happily. 

“I’m good,” said Hilda flatly, snapping her fingers. A soft white cloud appeared at her feet, and she promptly used it to float herself up and out of there, and as far from Sugarland as she could get. 

“H-uhhh?” Quietly, Sally stirred, coming back to consciousness. The first thing she saw were the giant arms reaching out for her.

Sally fainted again.

“Well, I’ll say it went better than last time,” Bonbon sighed, tucking into her own plate and enjoying the delicious dinner she’d made for herself.

It would be a few weeks before she invited them over again, but one of these days they’d get girl’s night just right!

Permafrost specialists out to help a small and isolated village in the Far East.

With a focus on Aleksandr Chernikov, who is a tall Russian man. The face I've decided on for him is the top centre. I don't think he's the sort to do anything too complex with his hair and beard

Other characters are Bogdan Novak, a geteza who loves to play the concertina and Botagoz (who still needs a last name), who is a butch Kazakh.

They met each other at the regional centre for higher education, which I am tentatively calling the Siberian Permafrost Institute.

This lot are sent as delegates to the sickly Far Eastern village of Belmorsk, who are dealing with the consequences of long-preserved chemical dumps in the permafrost thawing out. Or so the Institute assumed.

The reality of what is making the townsfolk so ill is much more sinister.

Two years into the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus appear to be intensifying their dialogue about the future of the Union State, the supranational body to which the two countries formally belong. On a visit to Russia this week, Alexander Lukashenko spent two days with Vladimir Putin, discussing issues related to the “regional and international situation” and “the coordination of actions in response to existing challenges and threats.” Earlier, the two sides announced that for the first time in 20 years, they were raising the Union State’s budget — by 38 percent. However, this money won’t be directed towards economic integration, but rather funneled into a “number of defense-related programs.” Journalist Roman Chernikov, who specializes in covering post-Soviet countries, explains how a shared affinity for political repression is bringing Moscow and Minsk closer together than the Union State ever did.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 🚨 UKRANIAN AUTHORITIES TO CLOSE THE "ANCIENT CHERNIGOV" ORTHODOX CHURCH AFTER TRANSFER TO STATE OWNERSHIP

The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) announced the closure of the "Ancient Chernigov" Church located in Chernikov city in the northeast of Ukraine Wednesday.

According to the UOC, the ancient churches of the National Architectural and Historical Reserve, the "Ancient Chernigov" church is to be closed after transfer to State-ownership, and only churches that are part of the "Orthodox Church of Ukraine" (OCU), an entity invented by Ukrainian authorities in response to Russia's Special Military Operation launched in February 2022, are to remain accessible.

Just one day earlier, on Tuesday November 14th, a commission as part of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine completed the work of transferring to state-ownership the objects of the National Architectural and Historical Reserve "Ancient Chernigov", including the churches and cathedrals used by the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), as reported by the department.

According to the report, the UOC states that some monuments are in "unsatisfactory condition" and recommended the agency carry out restoration and conservation work.

According to the website for the UOC, “From the very beginning of the commission’s review, the churches of the UOC were closed to the public, access to them was blocked by people in camouflage uniforms. As for the published conclusions about the state of architectural monuments, for believers in the Chernihiv region they will mean that the Trinity, Spassky and Assumption churches, along with the relics Saints Theodosius and Philaret and Saint Lawrence of Chernigov will be taken away from the UOC and closed to visitors. Churches of the OCU remain freely accessible."

The Ukrainian authorities, over the last year, have launched successive waves of persecution against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for its supposed connections with Russia. This comes at a time when simply praising something considered Russian can lead to suspicions, oppression and even imprisonment as Russia's Special Military Operation closes in on the end of its second year.

Local authorities in various regions of Ukraine have banned the activities of the UOC, while the Ukrainian Parliament passed in its first reading, a bill to ban the UOC and its activities throughout the country.

In some cases, sanctions have been imposed on certain representatives of UOC Clergy; while the Ukrainian Intelligence Services (SBU) has opened investigations into members of the clergy, conducting "counterintelligence activities" against clergy members, including conducting searches of churches and monasteries, as well as Bishops and priests.

According to the report, the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture examined 18 objects, including the building complexes of the Yelets and Trinity monasteries, the Transfiguration Cathedral, Pyatnitskaya and the Catherine churches.

Grandmaster Series: The Queen Sacrifice that Shook the Chess World: Nezhmetdinov vs Chernikov (1962)

[echoarts03]

Sugarland Shimmy: Echo Reviews

--------------------------------------------------

The Loadout (Weapons)

Shot-A: Roundabout: I chose the Roundabout because it bounces all throughout the screen even if I'm facing away from the target, so I can just hold my fire button and it does pretty good. It works wonders on her subjects too! I highly suggest it for Sugarland!

Shot-B: Chaser: I chose the Chaser because in the final phase, the Baroness is relativley hard for me to hit. It may deal less damage, but it's faster then if I used any other weapon.

--------------------------------------------------

Rating The Baroness' Minions by My Personal Experience

(Easiest to Hardest)

5: Lord Gob Packer

This guy is stupidly simple; just jump over him and dash, and duck under him and dash. Really easy, and he barely gets hits on me unless I'm making a lot of stupid mistakes. It's amazing how easy he is, especially since he is the only Candyland miniboss that is programmed to follow the player directly.

4: Sargent Gumbo Gumbull

Once again, relatively simple, but a bit harder than Gob Packer; I usually just hug the left of the screen since he doesn't go all the way over, and dodge the gumballs he drops from the sky overhead with few to no casualties.

3: Kernel Von Pop

Right smack in the middle, Kernel is a bit tough, but not too tough. A lot like Gob Packer, all you really need to do is use dash for the most part and you'll be pretty set. It may take a few tries to understand his paths, but once you get the hang of it, it really isn't that tough.

2: Sir Waffington III

I REALLY don't like this guy. He divides into 9ths and shoots his squares across the screen, giving you little to no room to dodge. What I do is I just avoid this fucker as much as possible while I shoot him, praying that his squares aren't too close to me.

1: Muffsky Chernikov

I HATE HIM. I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH. He shouldn't even be that hard, but for some reason he is THE WORST! This guy can easily end my run if I'm not careful. Every time he splats, I have to PRAY TO GOD that I'm far enough away from him that I won't get caught in the splat zone.

--------------------------------------------------

Phase 4: The Castle Chase

When it comes to the Baroness' final phase...I hate it. I hate HER. I hate this entire fight. For some reason, I COULDN'T GET THE HANG OF IT. For SOME reason, I couldn't figure it out and pick up a proper pattern. NOT ONLY are you dodging the Baroness' heads she throws at you, but you're ALSO avoiding a GIANT FUCKING PEPPERMINT. AND ON TOP OF THAT, YOU CAN'T HIT HER BECAUSE SHE IS ON TOP OF HER CASTLE!

I don't know, I'm only like, halfway through the game and I'm sure it's gonna get worse, but the Baroness holds a spot in my hard for levels I never wanna BREATHE near again.

I spent so long on this, that I had pretty much MASTERED her subjects and their fights in the first three phases. Never. AGAIN.

--------------------------------------------------

Will I ever touch this level again? Oh absolutley not, not for a LONG FUCKING TIME.

Did I enjoy it? I enjoyed it up until Phase 4.

Do I recommend you to play Sugarland Shimmy? No, avoid it as much as possible.

Main characters - Suppressors

Technically they sell suppressors - chemical compounds that suppress superpowers, but that's details.

Angeline/Big woman

Indeed big (approx 192 cm height), indeed woman. Born in 2000, in Dolgoprudny (town in Moscow suburbs). Grew up with grandmother that was invested in her childhood a lot. Attended all kinds of classes and had over 50 hobbies in her 20s, so she's better than average person in most things, but didn't master anything. Currently is invested in business management, kickboxing and developing her superpower - pocket dimension. Dyes her hair in all colors she finds nice, collects stuff in pocket dimension, survives apple-apocalypsis every summer.

Michael(Misha) / Andrey Tikhanovsky (alias) damn do I have a single good pic of him...

Metalhead dude with hyperactivity in one pocket and hyperempathy in another. Born in 2002 in Altufyevo (Moscow district) in police family (father, aunt, grandfather and two older brothers are in police). Hates police, went to nurse school (medical college), worked in hospitals very little. Has no superpowers, but out of compassion to people started helping troubled superpowered people and others. Has undiagnosed, untreated and violently denied ADHD. Climbs on anything he reaches, prefers gothic/doom metal, sprints books at overwhelming speed

Maxim (Max) Chernikov / Coolant

Ice dude, born in 2005 in Kotelniki (Moscow suburb town). Lacking exceptional talents and passions in life, besides extremely strong triad of ice powers: thermokinesis, low temperature water telekinesis and low temperature resistance. Attentive to details (not in perfectionist way, but notices thing people usually brush off). For lack of passion in life before superpowers now invests a lot in power development and suppression skills. Wears clothes inappropriate to weather, his superpowers made him photosensitive and gave him migraines, can't stop lying even if there is no reason to do that

Diana

Young grumpy accountant. Born in 2002. Reserved and closed to most people around her. Suppressive firm was her first real accounting job and she took it very seriously. Later her work goes from accounting to supply management. Most of time avoids superpowered shenanigans, but when faced with superpowered threat can, surprisingly for herself, protect herself with very violent methods. Doesn't like men, loves bread and hates crying, probably most sane/grounded character here

Iakov Chernikhov

[mariacallous]

Autocracies in the former Soviet space have long been adopting each other’s strategies for staying in power. But in the wake of the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, Moscow has employed a new disinformation tactic previously used by one of Central Asia’s most brutal and least transparent governments: Emomali Rahmon’s regime in Tajikistan. Journalist Roman Chernikov, who focuses on Russia’s relations with countries in Central Asia and the Caucasus, explains why this should be just as alarming as the Kremlin’s emulation of Alexander Lukashenko’s repressive practices in Belarus.

Yavok Chernikov, from ‘Cycle of Architectural Landscapes’, circa 1913(?). The artwork depicts a disorienting sublime image of a modern cityscape bathed in deep red light. From Chernikov’s ‘The Formations of Construction’: ... ‘... despite the extreme complexity of our life, despite the diversity of its structure, it is in certain respects being simplified though the perfection of technological achievement ... many processes that were complicated and slow are now being sped simplified and sped up ... the principles of simplification, acceleration, and purposefulness emerge ...’ ‘In former times machinery was considered something profoundly inartistic, and mechanical forms were excluded from the province of beauty ... now we know machinery not only lies within the confines of artistic conception, but also has its own indubitable and convincing aesthetic norms and canons ... able to unite the principles of mechanical production and the stimuli of artistic creation ... Primordial man, in building his dolmens, triliths, crypts, and edifices with unconsciously a Constructivist.’
