If I may ask, do you know/are you learning Russian? You said you read parts of Ubervillain.

It's my native language, just saying ~

Ah! I am sorry to disappoint, I don't speak Russian really at all. I know some words, for fanfic reasons in my own fics, and Russian is on my "wish list" of languages I'd love to learn someday. But I read the first couple chapters (and then the very last chapter posted, because I wanted to know what happens) of Ubervillain with the help of deepl.com/translator, which tends to be slightly more coherent than Google Translate.

(I think it's a good fic. VERY dark, but it seems like that was the goal, and wow, it achieves that goal! Links for anyone interested: (AO3 link) (ficbook link))

Also I really love your art! Of course the art with the bird especially turned my brain and heart inside-out (in a good way, lol!) but all of your art is so fantastic. Megamind's parents, ah, I love. Your facial expressions and costume designs are wonderful.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been accused of antisemitism after claiming that “ethnic Jews” are seeking to “tear apart” the Russian Orthodox Church. The Russian leader’s controversial statements, which came during his annual end-of-year press conference in Moscow on December 19, were the latest in a series of similar outbursts since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine that have either directly or indirectly targeted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is Jewish.

“These are people without any beliefs, godless people. They’re ethnic Jews, but has anyone seen them in a synagogue? I don’t think so,” Putin stated during the flagship event, which is broadcast live on Russian state television and traditionally runs for hours. “These are people without kin or memory, with no roots. They don’t cherish what we cherish and what the majority of the Ukrainian people cherish as well.”

Putin’s comments came as the Ukrainian authorities seek to limit the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine, which is seen as closely tied to the Kremlin. Russian Orthodox Church leader Patriarch Kirill has emerged since 2022 as an outspoken supporter of the invasion, which he has sought to defend on spiritual grounds. His backing for the war has shocked many and sparked international criticism, with Pope Francis warning him not to become “Putin’s altar boy.”

Many commentators have noted the similarity between Putin’s recent attack on people “with no roots” and Stalin’s earlier Soviet era persecution of Jews as “rootless cosmopolitans.” The Kremlin leader’s comments also offered alarming echoes of Russia’s most notorious antisemitic fake, the early twentieth century Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which alleged a Jewish plot to take over the world by infiltrating and destroying Western institutions.

Putin and his Kremlin colleagues have faced multiple accusations of antisemitism since 2022 as they have sought to defend Moscow’s claims to be “denazifying” Ukraine despite the country’s popularly-elected Jewish president and its role as a prominent destination for Jewish pilgrimages. This toxic trend has included frequent attacks on Zelenskyy’s Jewish heritage. “I have a lot of Jewish friends,” Putin stated in June 2023. “They say that Zelenskyy is not Jewish, that he is a disgrace to the Jewish people. I’m not joking.”

Following these comments, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum accused the Russian leader of repeatedly employing “antisemitic lies” to justify the invasion of Ukraine. US officials have been similarly critical. “President Zelenskyy’s Jewishness has nothing to do with the situation in Ukraine and Putin’s continued focus on this topic and “denazification” narrative is clearly intended to distract from Russia’s war of aggression against the Ukrainian people,” commented US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt in 2023.

Similar slurs feature regularly in the Kremlin-controlled Russian state media, with leading propagandists such as Vladimir Solovyov known for questioning the authenticity of Zelenskyy’s Jewish identity. Meanwhile, during the initial months of the invasion in spring 2022, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov responded to a question about the absurdity of “denazifying” a country with a Jewish leader by claiming that Adolf Hitler “also had Jewish blood.” Lavrov’s remarks sparked outrage and were branded “unforgivable” by Israeli officials.

Many within the Jewish community see Putin’s most recent inflammatory comments as part of a broader trend that is legitimizing antisemitic tropes and raising serious safety concerns. “This is just one example of his regime’s explicit and virulent antisemitism, which has intensified following his 2022 invasion of Ukraine,” commented Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, the president of the Conference of European Rabbis and former Chief Rabbi of Moscow, who fled Russia following the attack on Ukraine after coming under pressure to publicly endorse the invasion. In December 2022, Goldschmidt warned of rising antisemitism in Putin’s Russia and advised Jews to leave the country.

Goldschmidt is now appealing to the international community to address the antisemitic rhetoric coming out of the Kremlin. “As a representative of Jewish communities across Europe, and someone who was forced to flee my home and community in Moscow, I call on Europe and the free world to unequivocally condemn President Putin’s dangerous propaganda before it spreads further,” he stated.

[gauntletgirlie]

There is a myth that Ivan the Terrible had Postnik Yakovlev, the architect of Saint Basil’s Cathedral, blinded so that he could never build anything so beautiful again. Thankfully, there is evidence to suggest Yakovlev went on to design the walls of the Kazan Kremlin and the Cathedral of the Annunciation. However, if it were true, Ivan’s possessiveness and selfishness would have meant less spectacular wonder built for Russia.

It got me thinking how possessiveness and selfishness are the antithesis of creation and creativity, and more specially, the generation of beauty. Tolkien covers that theme quite well I feel, especially in The Silmarillion, but also in The Lord of The Rings.

Firstly, we have Melkor who wished to create everything himself in Arda. He wished to order things how he saw fit, wanting no cooperation with the other Valar. He coveted the glory alone. When his peers rejected this idea, it ultimately led to him wreaking a lot of ruin instead, ending in a purely nihilistic outlook. What he produced thereafter was in mockery only and decidedly not beautiful, but dark, ominous and destructive in nature.

Next we have Aulë, who wanted beings of his so badly to teach and guide that he created the dwarves. Whilst he reconciled with Eru, there was forever enmity between his creations and his spouse Yavanna’s. Aulë even responds to Yavanna’s warning for his children that the forests will have a wrath to cause peril if aroused with a rather coldly delivered, “Nonetheless they will have need of wood.” Think of what Aulë and Yavanna might have created together had Aulë worked with his spouse and not kept his desires to himself, and how better dwarves and trees could have cohabited Middle Earth.

Naturally, Fëanor and The Silmarils need to be mentioned here as well. Not only did Fëanor’s possessiveness of the jewels he made lead to him forgetting he could not have done so without the light of Laurelin and Telperion, formed by Yavanna, but also led to him keeping them locked away so he was the sole decider on who could see them and when. This successively meant they were easier for Melkor to steal, also culminating in the death of Fëanor’s father, Finwë. The only thing Fëanor created after this event was an oath that brought about a kin-slaying, the destruction of himself, his marriage, and his children, and shepherded in an era of strife for all peoples in the rest of The First Age. Fëanor undoubtedly had much more to offer in terms of fashioning the world for beauteous good, but his proprietorial actions towards The Silmarils ensured they were the last wondrous work he brought forth.

Then there is Sauron. He selfishly wished to have everyone submit to his will alone and had an intense desire to possess all of the rings he created with Celebrimbor and the smiths of Eregion. Admittedly, he did create The One Ring, which could be described as beautiful, but as Gandalf reminded Saruman: “There is only one Lord of the Rings, and he does not share power.” Sauron’s need to control saw him raise armies to subdue the world of men. Much like his master before him, anything Sauron created was ultimately to destroy as he sought to order the world how he saw fit. Non-compliance with Sauron’s views meant eradication. The rings he created with the elves were beautiful, but the three created without him surpassed them all, lending credence to the notion it was the elves’ input that made them beautiful with Sauron’s participation only providing corruption.

Time and again Tolkien’s writings and stories warn against selfishness, possessiveness, and intolerance of different ideas. They urge us to work together to create, to see others’ contributions as welcome additions and inspirations, not competition. Focus on one’s own conceptions can lead to stagnation in further creation and promote jealousy of others’ works, further leading to a decline in innovation or else seeking to destroy instead of create.

Selfishness ultimately promotes pride that in turn can lead to a fall which is what happens to Melkor, Fëanor, and Sauron. Aulë is seemingly spared, perhaps due to his repentance and the fact his selfishness and pride did not lead to great destruction, but it could be argued his actions changed the nature of his espousal to Yavanna forever.

That people should work together to create, instead of harbouring talents and leaning unto their own understanding only, is a poignant lesson. Whilst credit should always be given where it is due, as Amit Ray reminds us, “Collaboration has no hierarchy. The Sun collaborates with soil to bring flowers on the earth.” Perhaps this is the real reason the likes of Melkor, Fëanor, and Sauron fell. In truth, they were reaching for a superiority that was not theirs to possess. Perhaps it truly is the meek that shall inherit the earth (one cannot but help think of hobbits with this saying).

I’ll end with another quote, this time from Henry Ford, “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.”

Let us go forth and work together to inspire one another in all areas of creation.

"Better late than never" Part 12

Ghost gets a cold <3

Ghost got sent on a mission to Russia, it was supposed to be a quick job for Ghost and in theory, it was. He entered the hostile base situated on the northern side of the country, retrieved the documents Laswell needed and escaped unnoticed. The problem was that after he got to the safe “house” which most people would rather call a glorified shed in the middle of a forest, a goddamn blizzard began. 

So the chopper that was supposed to take him back to the base couldn’t land. Even Nikolai didn’t want to risk flying in that weather, so Ghost ended up stranded, freezing his ass off in that forsaken shack for three days until the storm passed and the chopper could land safely.

Not one day after he got back to base he was already feeling under the weather. The first thing Price asked him after he came back was if he wants to take a few free days. Of course, Ghost declined thinking he can power through it. Yet, he was feeling worse and worse with every passing hour and now he was miserable. He woke up with a stuffed nose, and a splitting headache while also sweating like he run a freaking marathon.

But did he go to Price to request a free day? Still no, he instead proceeded to get ready for training with Soap, ignoring the fact that he almost lost balance while putting his sweatpants on. He missed Soap even if he was gone only for a few days, especially since something shifted between them recently. He looked forward to that training and no flu was going to stop him.

He walked his way to the gym. Soap waited for him in the changing room already stretching, bending over and making his t-shirt ride up a bit. Ghost told himself that his heart beat fast only because he wasn’t feeling well.

“Lt! Ready for our workout?” Soap perked up when he noticed Ghost’s looming presence. “Although I must say, working with Gaz, Alex and Farah for those couple of days was a pleasant change.”

“What do you mean by that?” Ghost cringed at how rough his voice was, there is no way Soap didn’t hear how stuffed his nose was.

Soap’s smirk disappeared and he looked at Ghost unimpressed.

“I meant that they know their limits and don’t force themselves to do shit when they don’t feel well.” Soap crossed his arms.

“I don’t know what are you getting at, Sergeant.” He walked past Soap to the lifting bench, to avoid Johnny’s judging glare.

“You are sick, Ghost.” 

“I am fine.” He said, sniffling.

“You are already wet and you didn’t even move a muscle.”

“It’s hot here.”

“Ghost-”

“Will you spot me or do I have to ask someone else?” Completely ignoring Soap, he grabbed the bar.

The sergeant looked at the ceiling, asking whatever looked over them what did he do to deserve falling for someone as stubborn as Ghost. He went to stand behind the bench either way.

“Lik' talking tae a wall…” He muttered while focusing on Ghost’s weight lifting.

After a few lifts Ghost started to realise that it might have been a dumb decision. He had trouble breathing not only thanks to his runny nose but due to the fact that he had to breathe through his mouth, his balaclava got damp and clung to his face.

A cold shiver went through his body and he was ready to give up, and maybe go on a treadmill when he started coughing in a fit. His arms buckled under the weight and it would fall on his throat if Soap didn’t grab it in time.

When his hands were free he sat up straight still coughing.

“For fuck sake, Simon…” Soap patted Ghost’s back. 

“I am fine-” He coughs again.

“Ah kin see how fine ye are.” The Scot touched Ghost's hand, and was swatted right away. “Ye are boiling hot and nae in a good sense at the moment, ye are going to bed.”

“Johnny-”

“It’s not an argument. Ye either go to bed now or ah’m telling Price and he will put you on leave. Tae yer room- now.”

Ghost was a little taken aback at how commanding Soap got, but he also realized that he didn’t mind it at all, maybe he even liked it. Maybe. 

But Soap didn’t need to know that.

“Whatever, I have paper work to do either way.” He huffed and got up to go to his room.

“Sleep- not work, Ghost.”

Ghost only waved his hand and left.

But Soap wan now on a mission.

****

“Hi, maw! I have a wee question…” Soap called his mom, right after he left the gym.

He knew what he could do to get Simon back on his feet at a record speed. “Ah need yer soup recipe, my… friend is not feeling too good.”

“A friend huh? A special friend?.” His mother asked softly.

“A friend.”

“Och, yer something tae ca' me efter sic a lang time, ask fur hings 'n' nae even tell yer mither yer mukkers name!” 

“Mah, I called ye a week ago.”

“....”

He sighed resigned. “His name is Simon and he needs the soup, can ah get the recipe now? Please?”

“Ahh.. that’s a lovely name… Is he Scottish?”

“No…?”

“Well that's a shame… bit a'm sure he is a crakin' lad.”

“Mah.. he is not my boyfriend, don’t get any ideas.” No matter how Soap wished for it, they still were figuring out their… relationship.

“Och, bullshit ye wouldn’t cook juist fur ‘a friend’” 

“MAH!” Soap grabbed the bridge of his nose. “The soup, PLEASE.”

His mother chuckled.

“Ok, ok… let me think.”

****

Of course, the communal kitchen didn’t have all the ingredients his mother listed but he managed to make a good chicken soup non the less.

Making it took him some time, so when he entered Ghost’s room he expected the man to be asleep. It turned out to be wishful thinking, Ghost was sitting slouched at his desk, sniffling over his paperwork. His mask was nowhere to be seen as he had a handful of tissues pressed to his nose.

“First of all you were supposed to be resting, Two- aren’t you putting your balaclava on?”

“Do you want me to put it on?” He looked up at Soap.

Soap smiled softly when he saw Simon- very snooty and wet Simon, but Simon non the less.

“No.”

“Great, because it’s suffocating me.” He said relieved. “What is that?” Ghost pointed at the bowl Soap was carrying, reminding the sergeant how hot the thing is.”

“Ah, shit!” He placed it quickly on the desk, shaking his hand frantically. 

Ghost snickered at that, but it resulted in some coughing.

“Yer medicine.”

“You made that?” Ghost stirred it with the spoon.

Soap nodded.

Ghost tasted the soup and he sunk further into his chair as the stew warmed his body. It was pleasing and rich in flavour. 

“Thank you, Johnny… It’s nice.”

Soap beamed at the prize. “Ah asked my mah for help, she would make it way better. We don’t have everything on base, but I tried.”

Frow the way Ghost was devouring the soup, he didn’t mind at all.

Soap leaned on the desk.

“Will you please lie down after you eat?” Soap asked.

Ghost ran his hands over his face. “Soap, I am fine. I have been through way worse and I have work to do.” 

“Ye are a bambot! Bullets won’t kill ye, you will work yerself to death with that cold!”

“No one would care either way, Johnny.” He signed.

And that made Soap’s blood boil very quickly.

He grabbed his Simon by his shoulders and spun him in the chair so they were face to face.

“Wha-”

“Don’t ye fucking dare tae blether shit like that. Ah would care ‘n’ ah care aboot ye very much every bloody second. Not only me but our whole team, Simon.  We a' care, sae let yersel' be cared for.” Soap’s voice wasn’t leaving any room for argument, accent thickened, his eyes were set on Ghost’s- making sure that the man will understand how much he means to him. “You got it, Si?”

 Ghost looked at Johnny in awe, not able to break eye contact. He blushed not being able to understand what did he to deserve someone like Johnny in his life.

“Yes, sir.” Ghost finally whispered.

Both of them were surprised, by Ghost’s wording. Both blushing, not being able to hide behind a fake bravado or a mask. The eye contact broke.

Soap cleared his throat and stepped away.

“Then please go to bed already. Ah promise ye will feel better.”

Ghost did as he was told. He snuggled under the warm but rough military blankets. He left some space on the bed.

“Stay?” The question was hesitant- like the answer wasn’t obvious.

“Always.”

So Soap lied on top of the blankets, not yet sure how much touching Ghost wants.

He seemed content with that arrangement.

“When I was a kid, I wasn’t allowed to get sick.” The confession was unexpected, even by Simon. It just slipped out, his mind wanting to share with Johnny, explain why he acts the way he does.

Soap turned to look at Ghost. 

“What does that even mean, Si?”

Ghost fidgeted with the edge of the blanket.

“You don’t have to explain-”

“I want to.” He cut in. “Just need to collect my thoughts… When I would get sick as a kid, my father would get furious. Call me useless or weak… He would get… aggressive whenever I would say I wasn’t feeling well.” He could feel Soap shifting beside him. “So I started to just pretend I am fine whenever I felt bad, but mom would always know something was wrong. My old man wouldn’t let her take care of me, saying she is going to make me even more useless. So… yeah.”

There was a silence and Simon began to worry that maybe he had overshared, made Soap uncomfortable.

But it wasn’t the case.

“Can I hug you?” 

Ghost didn't know that he needed it, but now that Soap asked he really wanted that hug.

“Yhm” That was enough for Soap to give him a bone-crushing hug. Ghost grabbed Soap’s shirt and hold on to it, hiding his face in the crook of Johnny’s neck. He took a deep breath of Soap’s cologne and the smell of gunpowder. This was nice.

“I would love to skin your father alive.” Soap squeezed him harder.

It made Ghost giggle.

“Get in line.”

I had SO much fun writing Soap's mom! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did <3 Have a great day/night!

Pathologic and the Town's Russianness: 1

For part 1, let's explore the naming conventions Pathologic uses, and whether its Town characters have Russian surnames.

The names of the townsfolk are remarkably non-Russian

The Kin, of course, have their names in their own Steppe language, which is a conlang that Ice Pick Lodge conscructed based on Mongolic and Turkic (mostly Buryat) tongues. So, no questions with that.

But what about the Town itself, and the names of the people living in it?

For starters, it must be noted that the foundational workings of surnames in Russian are pretty much the same as in most European languages: a surname denotes someone's ancestor's relation to craft (such as the most common surname both in English - Smith, and in Russian - Kuznetsov, meaning exactly the same), kin, appearance feature, or other such concept.

As an inflected language, however, Russian adds special suffixes to its usual roots to arrive at surnames. The most well-known of them is, of course, -ov. In the example above it turns kuznets (smith, as an occupation) into Kuznetsov (Smith, as a surname). It is also used to form the archetypical Russian surname: Ivanov, that is, related to Ivan. It is, however, by far not the only suffix used, and there are multiple others: -in, -tsyn, -shyn, -ev, -tsev, -y, and more.

Most of these allow to construct feminine forms by simple addition of the ending -a (Saburov - Saburova); but some are more complex (Olgimsky - Olgimskaya). Such complexity usually marks suffixes used in other Slavic tongues: -y in particular is often seen in Belorussian and Polish.

With all that in mind, let's explore the names we find in the Town-on-Gokhon. And the thing immediately striking is just how little surnames formed from Russian roots and Russian suffixes there are.

First, there are obviously non-Russian surnames, such as Ravel, Block, Longin, Feugel, Yan, Croy. Most of them appear to come from other European languages.

Is that probable for a Russian Empire stand-in? Yes. It was a multinational state, and there were enough Europeans among the elite for Vyazemsky to bemoan in mid-XIX century that "the Russian God" is "God whose favour falls on Germans". (Then again, hardly surprising under the Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov dynasty, ethnically German and only taking German wives for generations, despite ruling Russia).

Then, there are the surnames with Russian suffixes: Saburov, Stamatin, Lyuricheva, Olgymsky, Dankovsky. But the thing is, none of these have Russian roots! Saburov is based on Tatar (patient, hardy); Stamatin on Greek (persistent, stable); Lyuricheva, Olgymsky and Dankovsky are Slavic-sounding, but appear to be unique to the game's characters. As a side note here, Dankovsky is apparently based on a name from Gorky's Old Izergiel (Danko, a brave who ripped his own heart out to light the way for the rest of his peope).

Now, is that probable? It's stretching the suspension of disbelief a bit. Yes, there had been Tatars among the Russian elite since before the day Kazan was conquered by Moscow, which reflected in their surnames. Yes, priesthood surnames could include Greek roots. And yes, the Western Slavs were also in the Empire. But it's hard to imagine all of these coinciding to entirely drown out the surnames based on Russian roots!

All in all, this distribution sounds like a conscious artistic choice, making such an assemblage less likely for historic Eastern Europe rather than Central one.

As a sort of postscript, for these who could be bothered to read this far down. There's an interesting quirk about the female surnames in the game: in Russian, unless a surname ends with one of the Russian suffixes, it retains its basic form (same as the masculine) even when women use it. Thus, Lara's surname is Ravel, same as her father's; same thing with Croy. But there's a curious exception: the Kains. Their surname is obviously based on the eponymous Biblical character, Cain. The only thing is, Cain is not a Russian word, and thus the women of the family should apparently still have the surname Kain. Yet they do not, they use Kaina - which suggests that their surname uses the Russian suffix -in: just someone related to something called Ka-, perfectly normal, totally a word, no primordial killers in sight.

Whether that is simple wordplay, a way to show the lineage deeply assimilated, a way to take the focus off the Biblical relation, or anything else, is up to the reader to decide.

I'm bored rn so imma just info dump all my favorite Arthur headcanons y'all XD

Arthur uses a BUNCH of very expensive and flowery perfumes. That man is smelling like the most expensive shit you can imagine

He also uses a BUNCH of hair products. He spends ATLEAST 20 mins in the shower JUST dealing with his hair. It's very thick and horrid to take care off.

On the topic of hair, he takes AGES to get his hair done in the morning. As someone with the same hair type and base hairstyle, let me tell you brushing it out once it get's tangled enough can be a straight-up NIGHTMARE.

The reason for his hairstyle (part of the hair open with the other over it in a ponytail) is that he needs access to his hair for sacrifices. Having it all up in a ponytail or smth would mess with that access, especially since he also needs it quickly. But wearing the entire hair open also wouldn't be an option since it would get in his face and bother him during fights. So, he compromised and got to the hairstyle we know and love him with now XD

When he feels safe and has no need to be alert or expect any fight, he wears his hair in a bun or some other way to keep it out of the way.

He's one big softy for his family. You don't normally see it since Jeremiah/The Uzais as a whole just aren't very affectionate people, but Arthur is a total pushover for them (THEY DON'T DERSVE ARTHUR OMFG)

The man is LOADED. Like, no joke he's RICH. In the same vein however he also has no conception of his actual wealth 💀 He's buy a 1000 dollar flask of wine or smth and think that's completly normal and reasonable.

The eight languages Arthur speaks and the reasons for them are :

1. English ("world language", can easily communicate with most people, also thinks he's part english)

2. Japanese (shown in the manga, used to live in Japan during Section 13)

3. Italian (works at the Vatican, which is in Italy, and also grew up there with the Uzais from 15 on)

4. French (Thinks he's part french, also general european culture, he's just fancy)

5. German (General european culture, he's just fancy)

6. Mandarin (Most spoken language in the world, helps with communication in asia)

7. Russian (Biggest country in the world, also was later stationed in Russia when the fake Gehenna Gate came up so maybe he knows atleast a bit of the language ?)

8. Greek (general culture, he's just fancy)

He also knows how to speak a bit of Latin due to being raised at the Vatican, and thus coming into contact with these things.

While Arthur does canonically has the Tamer Meister, he's genuine shit at it and dislikes it. He barely passed the exam, and he holds no love for the craft at all. He has an affinity for kin of light.

In terms of his fake heritage, he feels more connected to his "French side" than his "English" one.

The emotionless and detached behavior young him had during that flashback in the Blue Night time travel arc came from an emotional response, and not the elixir experiments. The reason for that is that he seems reasonably emotionally involved post-amnesia. With that I mean that Arthur does show genuine emotion, opinions and is overall more livley. The emotionless and dull stuff was a coping mechanism to deal with constantly being surrounded by death and the possibility of it for himself in Section 13.

That coat he wears is HEAVY.

Arthur is actually a pretty nice guy outside of business and all the demon hate. He's great with kids, even if he is more than a little dense.

He has a whole collection of ribbons for his hair with all sorts of different colours and patterns for different outfits and occasions.

Arthur's favorite colour is blue, specifically royal or prussian blue.

(omfg I forgot to add this one in the initial Post BUT-) Arthur sleeps in a bed with a frankly abnormal amount of pillows. Like that thing is SOFT AS FUCK. You sink into it like water.

AANNNDDDDD that was all ! Thanks for listening ^^

The Cabbage Farmer's Tale by ChibiDashie Chapter 1: The Humble Cabbage Farmer on the Hills Chapter 2: The Girin's Amulet Chapter 3: The Dokkaebi Village (South Korea) Im Yongsoo is a humble cabbage farmer who devotes his whole livelihood growing cabbages, living in an isolated village on the mountains within the jurisdiction of the Hearts kingdom. One day, he overhears a commotion in his village, only to see the worst had happened seemingly overnight: a great famine swept over the entire village, killing off his entire livelihood of cabbages. Yongsoo is not the only one however, as he sees that his entire village is on the brink of starvation from dying livestock and other crops. That is, when he remembered an old tale of his kin passed down from generation to generation of a great beast called Girin, who may be the key to saving his village. Together, Yongsoo and Girin must venture forth from the mountaintop village to warn of the impending famine to those he sees. Yet, he must encounter formidable enemies that will hinder his adventure as well as trustworthy allies that will join him to save not only his people, but those he cares so dearly about.

Baby Fever by ChibiDashie (Original Characters, America, England, Germany, Prussia, Russia) In this silly short story, Mary visits England, wanting to play with him. However, as he is knitting a special gift for Mary, she gets frustrated that he simply does not have time to play with her. That is until she stumbles upon the very tools England performs magic to entertain and ward off evil behind a grandfather clock. The only caveat is that Mary does not know how to handle magic properly due to her curiosity, which had caused her to turn into a baby! What she doesn't know, however, is that England and his fellow nations have to deal with a side effect of this mishap: Baby Fever. Hijinks and hilarity ensue as the nations fight over who gets to hold Mary, while England has to figure out how to get Mary back to normal.

kent cigarettes with the micronite filter by kllb (America/Canada) Canada had something to say when he came in, had been thinking about doing it the whole way back. About how he never wants to pretend to be America ever again, and how it makes him feel ridiculous and exhausted. He could probably rock himself into the best sleep of his life thinking, worrying and hoping that he's not the only person made to feel this way. He doesn't want to say what he wanted to say anymore, so they just don't say anything. In the silence of the apartment, he goes in for another taste of stale smoke and a good handful of soft skin. He's so tired, he wants to crush America to bits. He'd feel bad for it, though.

Please, (don't) make it last forever by Mossy_man (China/Russia) There is a guy who is a mess and there is a guy who is a saint. Also there is a beat-up old car that needs to be pushed. And a plan. Probably. It's a silly little roadtrip story, but full of questionable life decisions. And love. Because, you know... There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because in fear there is torment. He who fears is imperfect in love.

century gothic by hermesparis (Denmark/Norway) February, 2005: Amidst the glamour of Milan Fashion Week, Søren discovers a designer he’d sell his soul and maybe even his sewing machine for. Six months later, he’s given up on fashion—he probably wasn’t cut out for it anyway—and the model in his life drawing class looks really fucking familiar. Obviously, Søren’s only option now is to weasel his way into this designer’s life. alternatively titled: sigve valtersen’s terrible, horrible, very bad, no good day (that actually lasted several months)

on healing by hermesparis (Denmark/Norway) Glitz, glamour, and more après than ski: that's St. Moritz to most of its visitors. What more could anyone ask for? Well, actually, to Søren, it’s just a place to call home for a while. He couldn't really care less about the glitz. He’s here to forget about the career path he’s expected to carve out for himself and focus on what’s actually important: carving it up on a black run. To Sigve, it's more an annoyance than anything else—a break he can't afford to take. All he desires right now is to make it through this vacation. Then he can let himself crash back in the privacy of his own home, all business affairs neatly closed and sorted. No fuss, no drama, no trouble with his father. But, as they should both already know, you can’t always get what you want.
