Appalachians need help.

hi everyone. i don't usually make posts like this, but as some of you may know, much of my home state of nc was recently torn up by hurricane helene, especially our beautiful mountains. entire towns have been washed away, there is no internet or phone service, and roads are badly damaged. i've heard that there's currently only one route for the entire region to evacuate through. this is one of the poorest regions of america. mountain towns like these are not equipped to deal with this kind of extreme weather, and moutain flooding can happen quickly and without warning. i grew up going to appalachia, it is very near and dear to my heart, and the people there are some of the kindest and most genuine souls. it is a truly beautiful part of our country, and it is so often forgotten. i know a lot of people are suffering in the south after this storm, and i hope we keep all of them in our thoughts, but please do not forget about appalachia/wnc.

if you're able to, please consider donating to hurricane helene relief:

The sad realization when writing about historical settings

Before I fell back into writing fanfictions, I wrote mainly originals, most of the time in Urban Fantasy or SciFi settings. And there is this one thing that I just did not have to think about.

But then came 2022, and I started mainly writing fanfiction again. And through a twist of fate my main fandoms ended up being medieval - both with fantasy worlds like the Forgotten Realms, and just the real normal medieval times (aka Castlevania).

It started when I was writing the Castlevania fics. Specifically the fics being set in winter. Because it was this very obvious thing.

I wrote about it last year: Over here in Germany, in the area where I am living, we did not have a real winter since 2006. 18 years ago. There are young adults, that can vote in the election next year, that will never have actually lived through a real winter. Sure, a couple of years back - in the winter of 2020/2021 - we actually had about several weeks of snow that remained. But outside of it? Sure, it will snow on a couple of days per winter, but the snow will be melted by the next morning.

But when writing the medieval setting, I realized at some point: "Wait. This was pre-climate change. In a mountainous area to boot. They will have impassable paths for weeks on end!" And it was kinda depressing.

But then there was the other realization. Imagining summer in this medieval setting. And I imagine. And then this little voice in my mind goes: "Add more insects."

I stop a beat: "What?"

"More insects. This is medieval. It was before we killed all the insects. There are insects everywhere. Beetles, and flies, and butterflies, and mosquitoes, and grasshoppers, and..."

I do remember those summers when I was a kid. When we drove in the car and the windshield was smashed with dead bugs. When I was running around through the forest and at times would accidentally breathe those bastards in.

And now I am thinking about that a lot, whenever I write those characters being outside. I do not always bring it in, but I think about it. About how nice it must be to live in a world that was not fucked over like that.

Sorry. I am depressed. I know. Fuck climate change. Fuck capitalism, I guess.

if any of y'all try to tell me that winter without snow is a superior winter imma rip the teeth off you

IT'S STILL COLD, BEE-YITCH

cold! even colder this time! without any pretty white snow to make it better!

pure, unfiltered bone-chilling-ness that already surrounds a depressing area of grey and brown

“seasonal” depression but seasons don’t exist like they used to so the “season” lasts several extra months bc of climate change and then the very short happy season is also deeply depressing because for the same reason so really it’s just year-round depression

Do y'all think that if I keep watching/listening to White Christmas over and over again, it'll snow in time for Christmas?

Hello there !

A few hours ago I managed to update the IPA Erolabs version of WHB.

To update the app you have to download the IPA file again, you open Sideloadly and drag the new IPA file to the icon and out your Apple ID, you connect your phone to the pc and then you press start, then you wait and una few minutes the app should be updated.

When the game gets an update, the IPA file also gets updated, you can delete the old file to save space since it’s useless.

Hope this helps !

Sorry that I haven’t posted anything, I live on a very hot island and when the seasons change, my allergies go crazy due to the sudden change of temperature, so I’ve been feeling a bit unwell, I have some drafts here and there, might finish them tomorrow.

Hope y’all have an amazing day ♡
