hiii if anyone is interested i have my own worldbuilding project i have been working on for months and i'm really proud of it!!:
Se Leso is the name of the project, it follows a young draconic elf named Mingkethno e-Lesoodho. Suddenly awoke after a thousand year long hibernation that he never meant to take, there is a lot happening in his life. He finds out many things: someone tried to kill him, someone has being keeping his life in limbo to use its magical powers, and someone took his identity for years to try and take over the entire country of Ngapathu. Funny enough, those someones are all the same person, and Mingkethno is pretty sure he knows who it is. That person happens to be the most powerful person in the world, and while his motives aren't too clear, everyone's pretty sure Mingkethno can stop him.

This project is MASSIVE as each country has their own history, culture, and language. I am a linguistics major so if you like fictional languages... well, I hope you'd like mine too :)
Check out the project here on my website! Or, if you'd rather see it on Tumblr, I'm starting to upload my stuff on my side-blog @seleso .
This is the poison of giving too much. You feel yourself emptying out, dizzying, discoloring-- until you fear you will fade entirely and wither away. You have always had to give. You never had a choice before. They pluck your flowers for their beauty, they trample your leaves carelessly, they pull out your roots by the fistful and berate you for daring to grow. And now that you have a grove to spread out in, your rhizomes tangle and curl in on themselves. When cruelty is all you've ever known, thriving seems impossible. But the answer is not to make yourself small and offer every lovely thing you are to the world in the hopes it will have mercy on you. The answer is to let yourself dare to thrive for thriving's sake, to grow in the wild ways you wish to-- and to do that for yourself for once.
se leso comic covers 😋 although they are fake bc a comic this big would take a bajillion years.
this first one is syaja romangno and miko e-lesoodho in a cafe in ngadha, a city in myidhangu where syaja lives. ive had this image in my head since i first created the series, so i'm happy it's out.
this second one is sueicsa galluecci, who i assume would be met in the second act. a good friend of miko ♥
TIL: since 1997 the DoD’s Law Enforcement Support Organization (LESO) has been providing military equipment to State and Municipal Police Departments. And up until 2015 that equipment included:
- Tracked Armored Vehicles (aka, Tanks)
- Grenade Launchers (!!!)
- Bayonets
WTF America?
Thankfully, under President Obama those items were removed from the police. However, Under Trump (of course) the rules were repealed. No word on how much of that military equipment police got their hands on again. The good news is last year Biden put those restrictions back in place. But chances are some police departments still have this type of military gear sitting around the station.

OPEN ARMS, LA RICHIESTA DEI PM: "SEI ANNI DI CARCERE PER SALVINI"
"Ci accingiamo a chiedere la condanna dell'imputato", spiega Sabella, ricordando i 147 migranti parte offesa del processo, "oltre che per difendere i confini del diritto...", ha detto. "Il diniego volontario e consapevole" di Matteo Salvini a concedere il porto ai migranti sulla Open Arms "ha leso la libertà personale di 147 persone per nessuna apprezzabile ragione", ha detto.
"In questo processo - ha aggiunto Sabella - è mancata la presenza della gran parte delle persone offese, perché anche per potere essere persone offese bisogna nascere nella parte giusta. La maggior parte è irreperibile e non vuole dire che siano criminali

I asked for a new commission of these two lovebirds sleeping, certainly sometimes Celi wakes up Fatgum accidentally by playing with his belly But she can't help it🤌 she just loves him 💕🩷✨ (The art was made by @Leso Univers)
i don’t have a good name for her yet but have some random info
she’s around the same age as jin 33 to be more precise , she has worked together with giran for a couple of years as her luck in getting into the medical field the normal route was impossible. she is very diligent in her work as a nurse to aid others regardless of why they have been injured , her specialty being with necrotic tissues ( maggot therapy )
gives the user a naga-like body merely replace the snake with a maggot. her hands and upper-body shape is the few human-like features that she possesses despite the negatives of the quirk itself she is able to squeeze into narrow spaces. even twist in unnatural ways as the lack of bones
if her body wasn't enough of a curse she still grows , almost akin to a larva that never reaches the chrysalis to transform. its unsure if she has a limit.
she usually hides her face , thinking she has scarred enough people by that alone ( after all she wanted to work as nurse specialist for children but fate would not have it that way )
because of her face her vocal capabilities are a bit muted as such her voice is more like someone whispering , she does know sign language to make it easier long distance.
