What if the origin of the Jogo do Pau was due to the fact that swords are dangerous, so... "Here! Take your wooden stick and go play with the kids" (wife saying this to an 40s old man 😂) It's like giving a bone to a dog, they get entertained so easily

Now related to Portugal... Yeah, wooden stick game was invented because playing with swords resulted in many fingers flying around 🤣🤣🤣 (just humor, I have history knowledge about the origin of the game. Just dudes being dudes playing with "sticks" 😏 cough cough)...

Sincerely, restricting Portugal of playing with his swords to play with a wooden stick with the excuse of "flying body parts", will only end with more violence 🤣 (I will restrain myself from giving details)

listen this is great and i love it but ofc Port not being allowed swords is what stuck with me bc i literally have a hc of Galicia taking his sword privileges away bc Portucale was the worst and

and so started the ancient tradition of jogo do pau

@hwsocshipweek | Day 4: Historical

Both Ukraine and Georgia have a long history of struggling against Russian domination. During the Russian Empire, the two often collaborated in their efforts for national liberation. Their respective deputies worked together during the First Russian State Duma, and Georgia and Ukraine both joined the Autonomists’ Union (an organization that demanded the decentralization of the Russian empire on the basis of national autonomy) alongside many others such as Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Azerbaijan.

While I wanted to use it to broadly represent their collaboration, this art is referencing a specific instance that took place in 1914. That year, Russia had defeated the Austro-Hungarian army and advanced into Eastern Galicia. Russian occupation proved to be heavy-handed, with forcible Russification of Galicia’s Ukrainians and persecution of non-Orthodox religions (as the majority of the population was Ukrainian Greek Catholic). Georgian leaders would later speak out against the treatment of Galician Ukrainians at the Fourth Russian State Duma in 1916, and for this, they would be excluded from future sessions of the State Duma for “violation of internal order”.

whumptober2021, day 9: rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated

.

.

The first time she sees him he’s nothing more than a child, dressed in wolf skins and raw leather, staring at her from across the river.

They used to come to her, the children that were born from the land. They came with the tribes, with the traveling nomads, with the winds. Some reached the age of ten, twelve, fourteen. Some did not live past infancy.

When they came to her, she tried not to get too attached. She gave them food and water and sent them on their way, called them by no names, kept no memories of their faces.

But he had come to her and he stared at her from across the river. Those big green eyes narrow and wild, and Galicia knew – she knew she would not get rid of him as easily.

The boy with no name followed her. Over the mountains and the rivers, his wolf skins heavy on his small narrow shoulders. He looked no older than 4, but she could only guess his actual age.

She left him food by her door and maybe that had been her mistake, because the boy with no name kept coming back. He loitered around her ports and villages, and soon he was speaking her language, growing taller and bolder, taming her wild horses and building houses for his people on the other side of the river.

Where are you from, she asked him one day and his green eyes stared at her before he said, south, and nothing more. In her heart fear began to grow. She knew – she knew ­– that sometimes the children from the land grew strong enough to push the old ones out of their way, inherit the earth beneath their very feet.

To herself she was able to admit that she was relieved when the Romans came and took him away. She was old enough to bend without breaking under their rule, and she thought that that was the last of him that she would ever see.

But now he sat, a young man, at Léon’s table eating Léon’s food. A county in their Kingdom, the same nameless child that used to stare at her from across the river, but now they called him Portucale, and now his eyes had the weight of a thousand years.

Despite Galicia’s warnings, Léon paid him little mind. He was busy fighting and loving and orbiting around Castile, their crowns intertwined in marriage and war, gaining more and more land from the Moors in the South.

She watched Portucale eat and drink, and thought of the child he once was, of the children she had forgotten.

He raised his cup of wine in her direction, and Galicia raised hers in return.

Now she was the one to watch him from across the wide wide river.

Notes:

Celtic occupation of Galicia dates back to 200 BC. Its territory stretched from modern day Spain (Galicia) to Portugal (Braga and Porto). They were able to resist assimilation by the Roman Empire and maintained their autonomy well into the 5th century when they were conquered by the Suebi, and then later under Visigothic rule, resisting as an independent entity until its unification with other Christian neighbors in the Middle Ages (mainly Léon, Asturias and Castile).

The first County of Portucale was established in 868 by Vímara Peres and was initially a vassal state within the Kingdom of Léon, under Galician jurisdiction.

The river that divides Galicia and Portugal is the Minho River, the natural border between the two regions.
