Philippines: MOM I-

Rajah Cebu: No buts, young man. If I was still alive I would’ve grounded you.

(Baybayin ain’t really pre-colonial Cebu’s ancient writing script tho but ye)

Venetian Republic: Vatican City, how’s your dad after I died?

Vatican City: He started seeing Spain

Venetian Republic: I-

Huaxia, almost in tears: Oh, dear, how have we come to this?

PRC: I don’t know.

PRC, turning his head to ROC: Why don’t we ask the guy who started it all?

Cherokee: USA, I’m ashamed to have you as my daughter.

USA: Mom, I love you-

Cherokee: Don’t play that ‘I love you’ sentiment on me! Last time I believed you you stabbed me on the back!

French Kingdom: The Afterlife is alright because you’re not here to cut my head off at every second.

France: Yeah, yeah, mom, whatever.

Ryukyu Kingdom: How have you been, Okinawa?

Okinawa, drunk: Awful.

Ainu: Why can’t you let go of yourself, Tokugawa?! You’re dying inside!

Japan: Metaphorically or really?

Byzantium: Ottoman- I mean, Turkey, how are you and Greece these days?

Turkey: We’re fine, but we have a rivalry with each other. She takes after you, mom, she really, really likes sleeping with people.

Byzantium:

What are they eating and is it good?

Mullet - "Mullets have served as an important source of food in Mediterranean Europe since Roman times. "

Bread - "The most valued bread was made from "finely sieved" wheat flour with no other grains mixed in."

Wine - "Roman wine was often flavored with herbs and spices "

Placenta cake - "A dish from ancient Greece and Rome consisting of many dough layers interspersed with a mixture of cheese and honey and flavored with bay leaves, baked and then covered in honey."

Garum - "A fermented fish sauce that was used as a condiment in the cuisines of Phoenicia, ancient Greece, Rome, Carthage and later Byzantium."

(I did't think someone would ask this , I'm so happy becouse I spent a day searching ancient food XD )

[sane-human]

said someone who's tradition and culture came from a foreign rule in the past, where expansion was pure killing of others via offensively, ey byzantine?.

(Byzantium/Costantine calls Holy See "Rome" as that is the Holy See of the western Roman Empire, also becouse they still want to reunite the two parts to bring back Rome somehow, spoiler they do not suceed)

[sane-human]

Is Venice somewhere here

I too so much to draw the food

[sane-human]

so, why Byzantium seems like he has a grudge against you, franks?

Costantinople no likey barbarians

[sane-human]

Yo how's Byzantine doing? You said in your pinned that they have "the Plague" so which Plague is it?

Justinian Plague (541- 750)

"Procopius...recorded that at its peak the plague was killing 10,000 people in Constantinople daily, but the accuracy of the figure is in question, and the true number will probably never be known. He noted that because there was no room to bury the dead, bodies were left stacked in the open. Funeral rites were often left unattended to, and the entire city smelled like the dead."

"The plague weakened the Byzantine Empire at a critical point, when Justinian's armies had nearly retaken all of Italy and the western Mediterranean coast; the evolving conquest would have reunited the core of the Western Roman Empire with the Eastern Roman Empire. Although the conquest occurred in 554, the reunification did not last long. In 568, the Lombards invaded Northen Italy , defeated the small Byzantine army that had been left behind and established the Kingdom of Lombards.

More grown up adjustments because I want to draw the battles soon! Byzantine Empire , Egypt and the Rashidun Caliphate!

(I left the Rashidun Caliphate small because the idea of Egypt being beat up by an angry camel child is hilarious in my head)

Holy See and the Franks! (roosters are so pretty)

The Slavic tribes (later Samo Empire) and the Avars! Want to draw their battles as well!

I want to draw others as well , like the Goths, Lombards , the Rus , Hungarians (Magyards),Bulgarian Empire , Baltics tribes and Khazars! So I may take some time to draw them all as I have to study a bit! After that I’ll be focusing on two major wars that being the one with the Samo Empire and the Avars (and Lombards invading Italy) , and the invasion of Egypt by the caliphate! Other wars happening in the 600-700 period can be suggested as I would like to exercise on fighting scenes! :D

[sane-human]

What’s Byzantine up to?

Meeting up with Holy See! :D
