#hws bhutan

[peonycats]

As the largest black bird in the world, with its lustrous black plumage and a raucous voice, the raven is seen as a symbol of power, mischief, mystery, wisdom and intelligence. Yet, it is in Bhutan where the raven is given its highest place both on the royal crown and as the national bird. The hallowed status of the raven in Bhutan stems from its association with the raven-faced deity, Legön Jarok Dongchen.... A wrathful deity with a large raven beak, Legön (or the Lord of Action) is one of the many forms of the chief dharma protector Mahakala and, as his name suggests, is known for effectiveness and speedy activity.

(Im sorry if I'm bothering you or anything)

Any thoughts on Bhutan? I think the whole country is so cool. Only recognizing 54 of the 143 members of the United Nations is crazy. They have a zero china policy which is hilarious because they are literally neighbors. One of the only truly isolationist countries left.

(But as soon As Bangladesh declares independence, Bhutan is the first country to recognize them. India was second, and they actually fought in the revolution)

haha dont worry abt bothering me! I do have a Miss Bhutan! This is only a rough sketch i did of her a while ago, but I'm fond of her short hair shes such a cutey teehee

some random thoughts:

Probably had longer hair previously

is beefing with Nepal despite their long shared history

He thinks she's too dependent on India lol

Tibet wishes he was her

Like Nepal, India and China are also fighting to win her favor/influence over her

a bit of a loner- let india do all the work of talking to the other countries for a solid few decades
