Been seeing a lot of “The U.S. was always gonna end like this” and “Americans are stupid” talk and anytime people talk about the country like this it always bums me out considering I’ve called this place my home my entire life.

My fellow Americans, hen Trump gets in,

give him hell.

Don’t let this orange asshole define our country to the rest of the world.

Show that we’re more than the clowns that we’ve now been made out to be.

Because I know I can’t be the only one tired of this.

🌸I don't ever like talking about politics much but oh boy as someone who has a hate love relationship with Disney- I have a lot of say on the Disney vs Florida governor shit. I live here-

🌸 I'd love to point this out too

🌸He didn't have a problem with Disney before but he does now 👏🏻

🌸Funny how he's doing this petty shit and trying to take away Disney's power over in their area- Florida would've really been nothing if it wasn't for Disney coming in the 60s

why did scar burn down the ranch in the space mining au? did he think jimmy had something to do with grian's disappearance?

In short: it was for revenge. He knew well Jimmy had nothing to do with anything that happened to Cub or Grian, but Tango did, and at that point in time Tango fully moved in with Jim. Scar just treated him like collateral damage. Cubs corruption (which was a consequence of both his and Tangos actions) happened at that time, and Grian disappeared (caught by Martyn) leaving Scar alone. And Scar doesnt really... handle being alone well

A very... long version is under the cut. And i do mean it, its long, but explains exactly why Scar burned down the ranch, with all the events leading up to it and with some Cub characterisation in it

Best way to start all of this is to say a bit about Cub in this au. Even though he and Scar arent related, theyre very... brotherly-like, as theyre both second generation vexes raised together. Except while Scar went into the very bootlicking job of official bounty hunting, Cub was always against everything govnerment related. Never an outright criminal, but always hanging out in these circles. He supported Scar to an extent while making sure Scar knows what he thinks about all of this. And also that, ultimately, he knows he can count on him if something goes wrong. Even if Cubs going to be annoying about it

Cub is smart. Cub has insane amounts of knowledge about an insane amounts of topics. So much so that he was able to (with help of Mumbo, i suppose) design a complete new type of mobility aid specifically made for Scars new crime job. He is also, to a fault, interested in space mining. Hes a bit younger than Tango, but was already an adult when sculk was discovered to be a dead, alien lifeform. And the thing about sculk is that its the most important discovery in modern human history that everyone wanted to know more about, Cub included. Its what truly started his... adventure, with space mining. Its what got him close to Tango in the first place

Cubs sculk corruption happened almost acidentially. Ive mentioned before that Jims ranch is on a planet in the middle of nowhere, which also happens to be a living sculk planet; sculk planets and moons arent common, but they exist (one of them being callisto) and are pretty well known, plus its possible to find sculk in smaller amounts on planets and asteroids that wouldnt be considered "sculk planets" (as in, sculk isnt the main thing to be found there). Living sculk planets on the other hand are so rare that theyre more of a theory than a real thing, at least at first*. While sculk found in most places is long dead, Jimmy, with correct tools, could have access to its living form. And this is how Tango gets a sculk sample as a gift for Cub; so small it fit in his pocket. So that Cub could continue his research on his own, without having to spend ungodly amounts of money. And Cub does so, and experiments with it, and reanimates it, leading to his infection. And, unlike what Tango experienced at callisto before it got blown up and Tango became a wanted terrorist, it actually felt good for him. Being a vex comes with so many health complications that having a parasite (especially one Cubs been fascinated about for so long) that completly dulls it is something he was okay with. Neither Scar or Tango agreed with him here, Tango knowing everything sculk does first hand, and both of them made the decision to save Cubs life, whether he likes it or not (Cub didnt exactly... believe that sculk could kill him). Sculk is sensitive to sound and light, thriving in dark, wet and quiet environments, and its extreme sensitivity to sound is what Tango learned while helping Zed. The exact logistics of it and timeline of events are not set yet (rip) but what matters is that Tango and Scar succeed, saving Cub, who goes unconcious for a while

Now that the backstory is over, the reason Scar burned the ranch down is because not only Tango got Cub infected in the first place, but also because he... broke Cub, in Scars eyes. Cub cannot forgive Tango for saving him because he doesnt believe he needed to he saved. He thinks that Tango acted out of self righteousness, setting back his research (needless to say Cub didnt exactly think straight while corrupted and after the coma, kind of like with his original sculk corruption durning the crossover). He holds similar feelings towards Scar; more complicated, sure, because he loves Scar, but he also believes that Scar hurt him and tore out something he needed to really feel alive. Scar cannot forgive him specifically because the corruption changed Cub and his relationship with him, and the fact that Grian, a vital part of Scars already small close support system, wasnt around, it made Scar act rasher and with more hate than he would normally. He didnt go there to burn it, exactly, as probably simple murder was on his mind, but he activated one of Tangos paranoia-filled security measures (...traps), one thing led to another, an explosion happened, and scar decided to burn it all to the ground. Like a normal person

For more info as to why Tango was living with Jimmy at that time, im sure i mentioned it somewhere here? Ill just add that to protect both of them and their home Tango trapped it. And like most of his traps, they backfired.

Put some old art here to better demonstrate what im talking about

* the funny thing about Jimmy here is that he tends to find sculk... a lot. The reason he had to move from one place to another time and time again is that all the mining sites he used to work on got either closed down or fired people en masse because of sculk; while mining sculk is extremely profitable, its also hard and requires a lot of special machinery, including mechs, which wouldnt be used for things like coal. And when he got divorced and stopped being a miner, he moves to a planet, breaks his helmet in an accident believing he would die, only to realise that the planet had breathable air all along because of sculk under the surface. This is the closest space mining gets to the canary curse because i dont really like the curse as it is now, but its so heavily mining related i had to tie it somehow in a way that would satisfy me. Very offtopic but i think i should mention it

[theriverbeyond]

have you seen any breakdown of the political situation on New Rho (in New Rho? is the rest of the planet also populated? I think at one point someone says "down in Ur" but maybe there is an application of 2-dimensional direction terms to 3d space I havent yet thought of). Like who do they mean by militia, who is the government (who is the police?), is there any official house presence, what is the status of the barracks, who manned the spaceport, what power does BoE hold and how are they viewed in the population (Hot Sauce denounces them but who is her faction-that Pyrrha saw her with-then?) and do they know how splintered and farspread it is? what is the siege the blurb is speaking of, just the imperial emissaries showing up?

Also assuming the BoE wings are all named after different planetary settlements which seem in turn to be named after cities in the ancient near east (ur, merv, ctesiphon), why isnt new rho? but i might be misinterpreting this.

Also where does the Empire want non-House humanity to end up? They seem to be turning planets left and right with no endgoal. And how many settled planets might there be?

Sorry I'm dumping this all at you, I havent seen any worldbuilding discussion here on tumblr at all really so maybe you can redirect me somewhere.

Thankies, keep up the good work (posting)

I HAVE seen posts about the political situation on New Rho including analysis posts that were very interesting and I have utterly failed to tag them appropriately, I am sorry -- if anyone who sees this has links to that meta pls add on/reply to help anon!

But to cover the rest of your points:

What is Ur?

Ur is mentioned twice that i can find, in ch 16: Ianthe says that the end has come to the "rebels of Ur", and a person in the crowd says "Ur is fighting".

EDIT: big thank you to @eskildit in replies: "There are four total references to Ur- Corona also says that Judith is in the Ur facility and Kiriona says that the 6th house is "parked outside the Ur system". Could be that Ur is the planet New Rho is located on. While we refer the nine houses as planets, canonically the houses are actually "installations" on each planet with quite small populations. New Rho alone, which is specifically stated to be just one city on a resettled planet, is 3x the size of the 6th house"

It may have been mentioned more times, but Kindle search is giving me the 2,320 times the letters "ur" were used next to each other so I'm ngl I cannot sift through that. Rather than being a city, though, I actually am assuming that Ur is another planet entirely! This is due to multi-planet SciFi in general treating entire planets like countries or even big cities. Like…. planets are huge. There are thousands of different cultures on a planet, but in SciFi planets are often like. One Big City. One Big Country, if you have a particularly ambitious worldbuilder. See: Star Wars, the Nine Houses themselves, etc. not saying that Ur cannot be on New Rho, just that I don't think it is because this is multi-planet Sci Fi.

The militia/civic government?

In chapter 6 a distinction is made between "the militia and the old civic govnerment". Following that, I think the civic government was probably installed by the Houses, as a ruling party that is friendly to them/House interests. I think the militia is a non-unified population of hired guns, that probably revolted at some point priot to the story. It does seem like at least some section of the militia is in power in most of the city, but I do not think there is one coherent government at the moment

Official house presence?

Yes, because there are official cohort barracks. I don't think they have much political leverage by the time NtN rolls around, though

Barrack status?

Under siege due to the people of New Rho hating them/political instability/possible militia revolt, doing badly otherwise because any and all necromancers are suffering from Blue Madness/RB proximity, as seen in ch 20 when Ianthe mentioned some of them were so poorly she had to put them down.

Space port?

I am assuming the civic government/House was originally in charge. unsure of who is in charge during NtN

What power does BOE hold?

Unclear. It seems like BOE itself is fractionated, with a lot of animosity held between different factions, and a lot of both animosity AND collaboration between different factions of BOE, the militia, the population, and the old civic government. It is a very decentralized resistance force, despite sharing a name. BOE do not appear to BE the official government, or BE the militia, though, but I would not be surprised if some groups had ties to one or both. It seems like they have influence both socially and politically but it is unclear what that power is... some factions have some amount of power. Over some parts. But!! it seems that during the events of NtN they had more power than in the past ("best hand they were ever delt", chapter 1)

How is BOE viewed by the population?

My guess is they have mixed reviews. I think a lot of people probably rely on them for resources/protection even if they don't like or fully trust them. I think a lot of people probably see them as extremists and wish they were less extreme (the liberals, u could say). Like Hot Sauce and the gang, a lot of people probably think they aren't radical enough and wish they would resist more, harder, differently. I think a lot of people probably deeply support them, either physically by being part of BOE or by providing resources/etc, or quietly because they are afraid of retaliation by the House or civil government. A lot of the population probably has opinions about BOE versus the militia, BOE verus House, BOE versus the civic government, based on their own interests/position/power. This is a really long answer that can boil down to "idk"

What is the siege?

I think the siege is the cohort being sieged into the barracks. I am guessing there was some sort of revolt in the local government, probably related to Blue Madness weakening the cohort, and they have pushed the cohort into the barracks. , as described in chapters 1 ("the cohort dies like anyone else under seige") and chapter 20 ("the barracks siege").

What group is Hot Sauce in if she denounced BOE?

Hot Sauce specifically calls BOE "fat cats" and "zombie lovers" in chapter 15, after noting that she, Honesty, and Born in the Morning, as well as Born in the Morning's father, are "active" in with an unnamed group at the park. It is unclear what group that is, if it has a name, or if it is organized in any capacity. From what little we know, it appears it is a group of people who are more radical than BOE, which I think is either ex-BOE members that were pushed out for their radial choices/beliefs, or civilians/other freedom fighters that aren't satisfied with what BOE is doing. But beyond that I have no idea

BOE wing names vs New Rho?

So BOE wings are named after historic Earth cities. Ctesiphon, Troia, Merv, Valencia (which is not historic to us, as it exists today, but WOULD be history in 10k years). They are named by BOE, likely to keep connection to Earth, just like BOE people-names. "New Rho", on the other hand, is likely named by the House. Rhodes is a place on the 7th house (see: 7th cavalier is the "Knight of Rhodes"), and I assumed that New Rho was like. The house naming shit. Like how New York is named after York in England, even though that area of land already had a name (Lenapehoking, I think?).

Specifically this difference is important because like, the House is a imperial colonizing force here, and they are naming things after their home system as a part of the imperial violence they are enacting. In As Yet Unsent, Judith notes that the non-house people call New Rho, "Lemuria" -- HOWEVER, in NtN chapter 17, the Angel mentions Lemuria twice in a way that is phrased like Lemuria is Somewhere else, and is Not the city they are in right now ("I was born on Lemuria", "there's still a facility on Lemuria") I am not sure what happened there, honestly. Perhaps an oopsie?

Where does the Empire want non house humanity to end up?

Unclear. Coronabeth notes in As Yet Unsent that even she (who has studied the war in-universe) has no idea what the real goal is. My guess is nowhere, because a forever-war has no end goal. It's a war for resources gained only by literal blood and death. Many analysis could be made about this as an allegory to to oil based forever-wars of today -- I read a few of them and as said before unfortunately failed to tag them, so if anyone has a link and can share with anon that would be awesome! But anyway, I do not think I am smart or learned enough to say a lot beyond this but, yeah. I think there is no end goal to the war besides meaningless revenge and the resources gained via murder, because that's the point. We could learn different in AtN tho! who knows

How many settled planets?

No idea! Thousands. Hundreds of thousands? Hundreds? Unsure! 10k years is a long time, and there are a lot of planets out there in the fantasy universe that could be habitable. EDIT ty @eskildit, unclear how many planets were settled over the course of the Empire, but there are three settled planets by the timeline of NtN: ""Everyone was crammed on one of three planets now, and they all agreed that this planet was easily the worst", from chapter 2

kinda crazy we have people supporting hilter with their full chests but the only "antisemtisim" that is talked about is not supporting a govnerment

antisemitism is good news to both Zionists and goyische antisemites. it justifies Israel as the only safe place for Jews to exist. which means the Jews leave their countries to colonize Palestine, killing Arabs in the process, which is a win-win for christofascists and other Islamophobes! the rest of the world gets to be Jew-free, and all Jewish people are concentrated in one tiny point on the map. out of everybody else's hair, and easily disposable if the world wishes.

[unreadpoppy]

On my internship we watched a documentary about Bertolt Brecht (a director and play writer amongst other things) and besides all the interesting thing he did (fleeing from Nazi germany, being searched for being a “communist” by the US govnerment, writing some really amazing plays) the thing that impressed us most was that this dude fucked around a lot. Like we counted maybe 8 women that he go sexually involved with, like from Germany to Sweden to Denmark to the USA, he was getting those women.

Which prompted this one person to say “he was like this from the penis to the paper from the penis to the paper”

[omens-and-more]

Looool only jokes on here end up with people being called narcissist. On the other blogs it’s just them having fun. Funny how that works huh.

Damn 😂

Reminds me of when I had a govnerment job and people kept saying that only psyhopatcs could work there. 🫡

[the-carlos-cow-eyes]

Okay Maggie, so I have yet another AU idea I have discussed with my good friends Mystic and Luna.

So, the concept centers around the White House thing they have going on and the ghost problem becomes so bad (to the point they almost make one of the kids kill themself) that they choose to relocate them to a camp for troubled youth and orphans or for children in grief. But the camp is welcome to anyone.

And a peak in Devon's lore and personality since we don't have a backstory for him - this would be perfect. Devon went to the camp after a certain white-haired therapist sent him there after his father died when he was around 8 years old.

Unbeknownst to Devon and Kim, that camp was not only a satanic cult but was also a human trafficking ring that regularly forced children to go through extremely draining fitness exercises, and would force them to often not fight or kill other children there for their God, Dambala and the adults who paid to see them fight. It was all for their own amusement.

And they would somehow keep the children to come back, and during a ceremony on the day they knew the child would not come back, they would take an organ or system from the child that often not resulted in death. And they wouldn't put them under any anesthetic, just would give them a few melatonin gummies.

So, for Devon, either his liver or his entire reproductive system was taken away - so he can't have children. And they repeatedly tell the children that they have no place in the world, they will never understand normality, they are just soulless husks of "children", etc. And if you survive the training and the fights, you get to either go home if you still have parents or you are auctioned off. And often times, not many children survive the training. The camp started off with around 40-50 children.

Only 15 survived.

And when Devon finally caved and told Kim everything, she made it her entire mission to bring that camp down. And for a while, they thought that she did.

But no. The camp just got better at hiding. And since the govnerment couldn't give less of a shit about these children, and the camp is actually free of charge and entry, they'll send them there.

It seems like an Interesting concept, tbh!

[ryzomeriseup]

No!

Reject this with every ounce of your being. This is a distraction, an easily attainable goal. "Pweese mister govnerment, maybe have some wights?" This is crumbs when we ask for a meal.

Do not be fooled by this shit. Keep pushing for total freedom from capitalism. Your have nothing to lose but your chains. You have everything to gain.

Well done ireland

[diarycozyeah]

Habit. Day 1.

To make this more practical and useful for me i got to make this a habit, something i got used to do.

So here we go. Today was a normal day for me, i worked hard on my job, i bought some groceries and cooked meal for a couple of days. Damn it, i forgot to take picture of it! I'll remember next time. Still too lazy to fully clean all of my house, too much job for 1 dude in 1 day. At least main room is clear. If i would be able to buy washing machine next month things would get so much easier to clean and fold.

Still have so much shit to do, i gotta update my LinkedIn profile to find a better job, or at least another one, so i could pay bills AND have some money to spend, i gotta get to the capital to make second passport so govners wouldn't deport my ass back to homeland, and i need to prepare for winter, or at the very least clean backyard so i would want to be there. Damn, as a cityboy never expected shit to grow so fast on land, can't keep up with all the trees and bushes and crap that keeps coming up every rainy night!

Also i'm opening this blog for world to read, coz why not.

Some psychological shit: why do i hate everything i do so much? I rewrote "shitty meal" and HALF of this poste coz i hated it, although i didn't write something dumb or embarrassing, i'm just constantly hate or embarrassed of what i'm doing. My food was grate and i'm not so bad cook, why did i tried so hard to say "shitty meal"? Gotta think about it and start loving my shit more, maybe that's one of the reasons i feel so uncomfortable around people. That, and also the fact that i don't speak native language + can't find group for interests coz i myself find my interests childish and embarrassing.

[wszczebrzyszynie]

hello there! Can you tell us about etho and bdubs story pretty please

Bdubs and Cleo used to do "work no one else wanted to do" since forever; they werent exactly in for the crime itself, but they were the ones setting it up, like a middle man of sorts (mostly in the buisness of weapon trafficking, but they also helped people with things like galaxy hopping... since like i said before the space was pretty divided based on whose colony which place was before, and since its all a souvenir from the cold war times, you can imagine how the west/east border translated into space. They esentially would help people "cross the border" for a price. Sometimes they did some occasional murder, but it never was their main thing), which is why when they got separated and Bdubs got caught, the punishment wasnt as severe as it would be for known criminals, especially since theyre children of what could be called a political thaw era... they just werent that imporant and most of Bdubds criminal history stayed hidden. He was not a wanted man; he just got caught at the wrong place in the wrong time. Etho never payed much attention to him, since he had no real bounty, but Bdubs became obsessed. Etho has a reputation and is generally beloved by the public, and his independent bounty hunter work could be more or less called anarchist. Hero of the people kind of persona. Bdubs became absolutely obsessed with it... its not that most bounty hunters arent independent, but the thing about them is that they dont really have the means to become succesful? They dont have the backing and (monetary, tech, information) support of a govnerment. So they arent really considered a threat, more like a nuisance. Etho is an exception, and the fact that hes unwilling to oblige to the law 100%, only getting jobs he thinks may be "interesting", makes him... a bit more interesting himself. So after being let out Bdubs set out to be like him, and be noticed by him. Because no criminal that meets Etho can be normal about him, apparently
