its stupid that almost all of the beta kids live in the US. jade doesnt but her grandpa is from the US i believe? how is it that theres a handful of kids fated to save the universe or whatever and theyre ALLL american. it would make way more sense if they were scattered all over the globe.

so far i see dave as still living in texas because he very much feels like a product of the american public school system and american individualism. jade also still lives on her island thats fine her gpa is just polynesian to me, and then john lives in hong kong and rose lives in brazil.

rose specifically lives in the southern high planes of brazil bc thats where it snows and for some reason rose living in a snowy location feels important to her upbringing to me? maybe just because of the flashbacks to her playing in the snow. oh also because it makes sense if she lives in a more isolated location.

i think grandpa harley is maori and was originally born in new zealand wow oh my god as im typing this im imagining jade w a kiwi accent and that feels so fitting. anyways i think he sailed out from NZ and found hellmurder island out in the pacific on his travels.

i also like the idea of rose and dave meeting online and dave is fluent in spanish (bro is irish american/mexican) and in english while rose is fluent in portuguese and knows some english. they communicate through spanglish and portuganglish(???)and rose gets better ar conversational english this way. once she starts getting the hang of it (which is very fast) she starts reading more and more english books and quickly accumulates a far bigger vocabulary than dave because dave does not fucking read books like that.

when they talk mainly spanish and portuguese in the beginning dave is like “portuguese speakers sound like theyre trying to speak spanish while having a stroke you’re giving me a headache” and rose is like “sounds like a you problem i understand your spanish just fine” lol.

dave has a weird assortment of spanish vocab that he knows outside of the basics because his only exposure to spanish is from his bro and shitty public school spanish classes.

also bro was raised on dragon ball z and thats part of the reason he styles his hair the way he does. bro has the goku jesus mexican flag hanging in their living room.

I can't believe trump is winning the elections...

[to-the-starlit-west]

my fave useless idiots. inspired by derry/londonderry (irish: doire) being literally fucking named after the abundance of trees it possessed before colonisation. in the present age, ireland is the european country with the least amount of percentage forest cover. we used to be fully forest, till england and scotland stole them. we still haven’t recovered. coillte, the irish governmental agency to look after our forestry, was done for some kind of fraud recently. i have hope, but there is some shite you can just never heal.

I'm normally not very political (I know, kinda funny since Callum is a politician), but I literally cannot contain my rage and disappointment at the results.

If you didn't already know, Trump won this (the 2024) election, and he will be our president for the next 4 years. This is disastrous for not only American citizens but for literally everyone across the globe. This man is a danger to everyone's lives, and even people who have worked for him have said so. People joke about how if we have a woman for president that "if she gets her period, start the doomsday alarms," but this MAN is more likely and EAGER to start a war. I'm not tryna fear monger or scare anyone, but I do suggest you prepare yourself, let your family know you are in danger, and if you can, leave the states.

And for my queer/LGBTQIA+ friends and family, we will make it through this. I know a lot of you are feelin hopeless and scared, but do not take your life over this. They want you as a statistic to "prove" that they're winnin and eradicatin us.

Live, and keep your guard up for whatever may happen next. If you need to go back in the closet for yours and your loved ones' safety, do so. I know there are people out there tellin you to be openly queer and all, but that isn't always gonna be safe dependin on where you live. I'd suggest not postin about bein queer either since we don't know Trump's plans regardin online queer restrictions as well.

If someone (friend, family, teacher, literally anyone) asks you who you voted for, if you are queer, if you are a minor, any sort of minority, don't tell them shit. Tell them you don't talk about these kinds of things/you aren't interested in discussin these things, and avoid it all together.

Please, be safe and take care of yourself.
