B-1's used in US airstrikes in Iraq & Syria

NEW DELHI: The US military on Friday launched a series of air strikes in Iraq and Syria targeting Iranian forces and militias aligned with Tehran. This action was a direct response to a lethal drone strike at a US base in Jordan, attributed to Iran-supported groups. Three US soldiers were killed in a drone attack on Jordan base.

This may be a long shot but do any upstate anti-fascists recognize these guys?

As we enjoy the freedoms made possible by the bravery of our fallen heroes, let's pause to remember and honor their sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day to all. 🗽🇺🇸

2025 Kia Sorento Leaked Image

[theriverbeyond]

how do we know in the books that john is indigenous? can you say more about how his indigeneity is important to his story?

hello! so there is a word of god post on race (doesn't mention John but mentions that Gideon is "mixed Maori"), BUT I frankly don't think word of god statements are worth any weight without actual in-text support (see: the "dumbledore is gay" situation). SO!

Specific evidence that John Gaius is Maori, as revealed in Nona the Ninth:

When he is listing his education, John mentions having gone to Dilworth School (John 20:8). Dilworth is an all boys boarding school in Auckland and accepts students based on financial need instead of academic or sporting achievements. Demographics appear to be about 70% low income Maori boys, indicating that it is highly likely that John is Maori

John reports that P- said he looked like a "Maori-TV pink panther" (John 15:23) when his eyes turned gold. Maori TV is a TV station that is focused primarily on Maori culture & language revitalization, with presumably all or mostly Maori hosts, and tbh I don't see why P- would say this unless John was himself Maori

John uses a te reo Māori phrase ("kia kaha, kia māia") (John 5:20) when he is saying goodbye to the corpses in the cryo lab before the power is shut off. Though it is possible he said this as a non-Maori kiwi, but in combination with the previous two points of evidence I think this all very strongly points to him being Maori

He also renames his daughter Kiriona Gaia, "Kiriona" being just literally the name "Gideon" in te reo Māori

TLT is not a series that hands you anything on a silver platter but to ME this is all pretty solid proof

Why is this relevant to The Locked Tomb?

In Nona the Ninth, we learn that before he completed apotheosis and ate the solar system, John was basically trying to save the earth from capitalism-caused climate change. Climate justice and the rights of indigenous people over their own land are deeply tied together, in the same way that climate catastrophe and capitalism/ imperialism/ colonialism are linked. disclaimer that this is NOT my area of study and others have definitely said it better; this is just the basic gist as I understand it, but on quick search I found some sources here and here if you want to do some reading.

TLT is not a series that hands you anything on a silver platter, but i don't think it is a stretch to see John as an indigenous man trying to save the earth and getting ignored and shut down at every turn by primarily western colonial powers (PanEuro, the USA) who declare him a terrorist and then as a reader thematically connecting that to the experience of indigenous climate activists IRL

there are absolutely TLT meta posts that have discussed this before me; tumblr search is nonfunctional and I have been looking for an hour and a half and cannot find anything specific even though i KNOW i reblogged multiple posts about this in the first few weeks following NTN's release. sad & I am sorry

I think that by the time the books take place, John is 10k years removed from the cultural context he grew up in, with the Nine Houses having become a genocidal colonial power in their own right (with more parallels to be made between John's forever war for the resources of literal life energy and like, oil wars), but I also think that John Gaius is a fictional character who can represent and symbolize multiple different things in service of telling a story. (not to mention the potential thematic parallels being made to how oppressed people sometimes are pressed into replicating the power dynamics of their oppressors and continuing the cycle--now that is a tumblr post i KNOW i read last year and definitely cannot find right now, once again sad & I am sorry)

🌸🌷?

Thank you so much for the ask @kia-is-poisoned !

🌸 What does your OC’s voice sound like? Their laugh? Are they good at singing? Do they have an accent?

🌷 In what ways would your OC alter their body if they could? How would they do it using mundane means (hair dye, surgery, make-up?). What is their ideal look for themself?

Voice

Marril - He's got like one of those deep gravelly voices. His accent is somewhere between Russian and Portuguese, but it tips more toward Portuguese. (Caliskian accent) He's got a pretty nice singing voice, and a friendly laugh.

Shyre - She's more musical, and clear with an almost sing-song king of voice. She's got a very pretty laugh and she's got like a French Canadian accent. (Noble accent)

Kasi - She has a more general, average teenager voice, Not very angsty, but very clear, and she talks pretty loud most times. She's got a nice laugh, she's fine at singing, and Her accent is probably a mix between Swedish and USA Midwest. (Lower Class Feyranite)

Xhaazi - He's got a pretty clear, bored voice, he's awful at singing, but has a nice laugh. He's got the same accent as his sister.

Chrin - He has a clear, almost chirpy kind of voice, with an upbeat laugh. He's pretty good at singing, and has a mix between USA Midwest and French Canadian. (Mix of Noble and Working class)

Sokuna - She has a stern, adult voice, is average at singing, has an okay laugh, and a full USA Midwestern Accent

Viasaki - Soft, smooth voice. He's got a pleasant laugh, and is an 8/10 singer. He's got a Light hint of a southern USA accent from his childhood (Shrima)

Kila - Harsh, sharp and hissing voice, Actually a very pretty singer, A pretty laugh too, with a sort of Canada/Northern USA accent

Geon - He's got a nice, quiet yet clear voice, with a very pleasant laugh, and a nice light English Accent (Ahelite and Roselite Combo)

Body

None of my characters give a shit about how they look other than maybe Viasaki.

He hates his extra feathers and scales because of his mother, and routinely, plucks them or pulls them out.

Do you think that there is a possibility of Hypergryph splitting from Yostar for global publishing of Arknights and moving it to Gryphline instead? The traditional Chinese server got moved from Long Chen to Gryphline recently, and the new ambience synesthesia concert merch is on the Gryphline store rather than yostar’s. It may just be wishful thinking as yostar and hypergryph both own large shares of each other, but if there is a planned split from yostar would it potentially be a reason why Hypergryph hasn’t made a statement condemning Yostar Korea’s actions? Is there any precedent for publisher changes for a sort of legal clause preventing them from hurting each others’ image prior to the split being announced?

Gryphline is situated in Singapore, having what I guess you could call a “proxy” company for global business in Singapore is something a lot of companies in China have done for a while, increasingly within the past couple of years, for a multitude of reasons. Last time I checked Mihoyo had “Cognosphere” in Singapore, and when you buy gachabux in that game on servers outside China I believe your bill is from Cognosphere. The slave labor fast fashion site Shein has been operating under the Singapore-registered “Roadget Business” which some have speculated makes it easier to list in the USA. Yostar has HQ in Hong Kong which used to be the proxy location but according to this FT article-“Traditionally, Hong Kong was the choice for many such companies, said Kia Meng Loh, a senior partner at Dentons Rodyk. But with Beijing “flexing its muscles” in the semi-autonomous rival finance hub, Singapore is the obvious next choice, he said.” Hypergryph has multiple games coming out in the near future, I believe a regular (non-gacha) 3D anime mobile game and a 3D Arknights spinoff that will have a weapon gacha, and I think another game that’s TBD? They could be rearranging their internal structure due to this expansion if they’ve switched around their Chinese server already, but I’m unsure if this means they will completely split with Yostar who I believe publishes the US, Japanese and Korean servers.

Admittedly I can’t say I’m super well versed with this type of business and therefore it’s harder to really predict what they will do in the future, but I’ve been watching the situation since AK KR posted that notice to see what happens. I don’t have anything against the game itself, if it comes out that somehow their hands are completely tied in the situation or something I’ll post about that as well but I’m not holding my breath. In terms of my read on the situation, I think a huge message has ready been sent to the fans as to whom the company deems most profitable to listen to, regardless of any future handwringing over the situation. I would think between a woman posting extremely basic feminist thoughts on her personal twitter (equal pay etc) and enjoying the woman’s day google doodle years ago, and the Arknights KR/Yostar employee liking extremely violent fanart on the official twitter account and hanging out on extremist, misogynistic chat boards, that the employee would be seen as more of a problem and should have been the one disciplined. In reality, not only was the woman punished by having her work deleted but the official KR account posted that diatribe calling basic feminism a “dividing force” or whatever. This action and the following statement are absolutely not neutral, especially during a time a which violent misogyny has been increasingly ripping through South Korea as a whole but also gacha games specifically. In terms of PR I do think this is something Hypergryph could address, if HG doesn’t want to rock the boat with Yostar so to speak because of some upcoming split, it seems Yostar has already rocked the boat quite a bit with this action to begin with…

in terms of a main developer punishing the publisher, one example I can think of is Fate/Grand Order’s DelightWorks (after the sakura wars fuckup FGO is developed by “Lasengle” now, but when this happened it was DW) changing an in-game reward that FGO’s Korean publisher Netmarble gave out. In terms of them splitting as well, I’m still looking into it 👍 If anyone knows anything else feel free to reply or send me stuff and I’ll post it, sometimes I feel if I wait too long to reply to messages it comes across as rude lol so I’m not getting lost in like thesis tier research

For Marian and Jo: 3, 6, 9, and 12 ✨

Oh these were good! I had to come up with some new stuff on the fly!

OC Character Ask Link Here. I'm answering questions about Cardinal Marian, Edelweiss Ghoul, Papa Camino and Mater Jocasta.

3. Did you choose their names for how it sounds or its meaning?

Marian: I chose it originally for the sound, but I seredipitously remembered the Sisters of Mercy song Marian so I will tell you that yes, I definitely named her after that! hehe

Jocasta: I wanted a regal name, but not too biblical so I went into mythology for it. Originally considered Dido (Aeneas' lover and Queen of Carthage) but it was too soft to my ears. I didn't want any specific goddess name, it's distracting. Jocasta sounds intense and the story is dramatic and profane: Jocasta was Oedipus' Queen and Mother in the myths.

They both have full legal names. That may one day be revealed!

6. Relationship with parents?

Marian: Marian was born July 25, 1978 in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania USA. Marian never had contact with her father. Her mother was a person who struggled with alcoholism and so Marian spent most of her childhood under the care of her grandmother. Her grandmother was kind but was extremely critical of Marian, especially in regards to her dark interests and her weight. Marian's grandmother died when Marian was 17 and so Marian had to move back in to her mother's care. It was eighteen months of hell and she moved out with a friend as quickly as she could.

Jocasta: Jocasta was born September 1, 1942 in a small town outside of Salzburg, Austria. She was a middle child with an older and younger brother. Her family owned the town bakery. Her father was conscripted into the army and was KIA in 1943. Both sets of grandparents, two aunts, five cousins and her mother took care of her and her siblings. She had a very supportive family that encouraged her musical talent as long as she helped the family business. (One of her jobs in the Ministry before being Nihil's protegee was baking bread for the kitchens.)

9. How easily does your OC make friends?

Marian: She is very cagey about meeting new people. She has had so many friends move away in her life that she doesn't hold on to people too seriously. Until she joined the Church. Even then, she's suspicious of kindness.

Jocasta: She makes friends, a little too easily. She's definitely one that flits from friend to friend. She engages with people on a deep level but never confides in them. She has a flirtatious nature.

12: OC Best Friends? Worst Enemy?

Marian: After joining the Church, Marian befriended Papa Emeritus Secondo's primary lover Sandra. The two women became fast friends, and then more than friends. There was an awkward falling out and Marian was struggling through it when she first got involved with Copia. Marian doesn't have enemies although Sister Imperator is intimidating.

Jocasta: Jocasta had a childhood friend Elizabeth. They moved together to the city, lived and performed together. She lost contact with Elizabeth when she emigrated to the US. Jocasta's closest friend is Sorrel Ghoul, her first ghoul she summoned.

Thank you!<3
