Earth is a terrestrial planet, despite 70% of it's surface being covered in water. It has a molten iron core, and has existed for about 4.5 billion years. It's the third planet out from it's star (a yellow dwarf).
The Cartologist: Oooh, interesting, is there more?
The Cartologist: Oh, is that what the song about cheese comes from?
The Coordinator: Yes, mortal planets that have had life for a long time do tend to experience multiple extinction events, which is one of the reasons it is important we tend to our duties.

#I am SO MAD that I cannot avoid information about america#and I am SO MAD that it would be politically irresponsible to avoid information about america were it even possible#the us thinks it's soooo important and the worst part is that it kind of is important. so I just have to keep knowing things against my wil#i know all these facts about your stupid presidents and yet not ONE of you could tell me what happened in the engadine maccas#not one of you know the gay marriage crocodiles quote by heart#not one of you could say why scomo is such a dickbag if you even know who he is!!!!#I'm speaking hyperbolically. to an extent. but ugh I'm so sick of it I feel like everything is so oversaturated with america#I see more information about it than any other country and I DON'T EVEN LIVE THERE#sick of it! if anyone ever plans on talking about america again please don't#and also while I'm complaining#can someone please make a vague fantasy continent that is cold in the south and hot in the north. like a normal person.#I don't want to listen to americans or anyone in the northern hemisphere ever again. goodbye#fay.... man idk what this is#fay complains#I suppose

As a non-American, I always have a mocking smile on my face when Americans (aka habitants of the USA or of Canada to be precise) call out a country "evil" or "criminal" and call for its complete destruction and dismantlement... Because A) "They're not a real country, they're settlers that colonized a land that was not theirs" and/or B) "They built their country on a genocide and killed the indigenous people".
This type of discourse pops up a lot with the Israel situation currently, but it had been around before for other countries and... I just laugh at the sweet ignorance of these blissfully unaware Americans who are literaly describing the history of their OWN country, little colonies that became the nation they are today by mass-genocide of the people native to the land.
So if you think one country should not exist because it is a "genocidal colony" and that everybody in it should return from "where they come from", think hard about it because it also means you want to destroy and dismantle the United-States and Canada, and also a lot of countries in Southern America. Basically the entirety of the American continent. If that's your opinion so be it, but if I see anymore hypocrite that goes "Yes X country should not exist because it was built on colonization and genocide but the USA/Canada is the greatest and has all the rights to be there", I'll hold them for what they are, aka morally short-sighted and self-centered morons. If you want to apply this line of logic to other countries, be ready to apply it to your own country too and be aware of the irony of your situation.
[And I think it is very important to remember that because recently the far-right groups in the US have been trying to erase all the "bad side" of the USA history, aka they have been erasing or dowplaying from media and school and other information outlet stuff like the American genocides and the way a huge part of American society was built on slavery... I mock a bit viciously above, but truly sometimes I am sad for Americans who literaly know less about their country than other people - I, just following a regular European school-course, ended up learning more about the USA's history than a lot of Americans I talked to.]
#america#american continent#united states of america#usa#canada#hypocrites#but that's typical americans for you#denouncing elsewhere the stuff they're been made of#same thing happened with discrimination and slavery you know#with lot of americans that were against the apartheid in south africa but were absolutely fine with stuff like Jim Crow laws in the us#overall this is the peak self-righteous american mindset right there

Your first mistake was lumping all white people into one group. Your second mistake was lumping all people that are not white into one group. Your third mistake was assuming that only white people are racist. Your fourth mistake
#Hey guys mixed kid here I think we should find new ways to talk about people of different ethnicities#I don't like explaining that I am white and a poc#Also it creates a really horrible “us vs them” mentality when you single out white people as the only “other” group of people#Could we at the very least sort by skin color and continent???#Eg black South Americans or brown Asians#Idk#Not sure if that one would upset people but it's a little bit more specific than the truly awful white and poc categories#Pie won't shut up

#no wait listen to me. listen to me#im south asian. my grandparents were muslim. my great aunt and uncle and their children and my parents siblings are all muslim#my parents aren't. they raised us without any religion. without even our national cultural ceremonies tied to islam#dont let yourself believe for a fucking second that has nothing to do 9/11 happening two years before i was born. two years before we moved#im south asian. my dad's first name is mohammed. when we catch a flight we get to the airport two hours earlier-#to account for the time it'll take my dad to be 'routinely stopped and searched' by airport security#routinely is right lmfao. it happens every time we fly#last time i was on an american airlines flight our checked luggage ended up across the continent and took two days to get to us#(my 12yo cousin gifted us an alarm clock that made an ominous ticking noise and we couldn't shut it the fuck up-#the luggage was labeled mohammed and coming from south asia. my sibling jokes it's a wonder we got it back)#im canadian. i cried my ass off to cfa tonight bc of how touching the story of a small town coming together to help a group of strangers is#(can't help thinking that never would've happened in a bigger city? but thereby lies another tale)#and god normally i hate 9/11 stories bc it feels like two sides of my identity being pitted against each other and it makes me so uncomfy#like as a canadian i should be sympathetic towards the states and at the same time im viscerally aware of the lasting prejudiced impacts#but cfa did it so beautifully#will never get over the 'thorough search' scene. 'you will never understand'.#the lump in my throat i get every time I watch my normally distinguished and tough and coolheaded father be pushed through airport security#how resigned he is to it. how he tries to stay dignified. how scared my mom gets every time. how rough they are with him#when he usually commands respect#and yet also the pride and the lump in my throat i got today knowing it was a little canadian town that made a difference#sigh enough out of me i just have a lot of feelings#come from away#team screams

hahaha, the new Eibon Map is so large, I can't even upload it to tumblr! Discord can't handle its file size, nor can google, wonder where I could possibly host the image? Oh well, here's the old map with the incorrect hex sizes and with the Far East/Jinwa and Kihara on the map before they were split off into their own continents seperate from Eibon.
#ttrpg#I don't want anyone complaining about the names of Kihara and Jinwa#The people who actually speak those languages came up with them so I nodded and agreed with their ideas#For some reference Jinwa is the one in the top right with the classical element names and Kihara is the kinda-tropical island at the bottom#In our current version Jinwa has been spun into its own continent which takes cues from lots of differing asian cultures#the classical elements theme is still there but it isn't as all-consuming as it was in this first draft#Kihara is our group's work at making a latin/south american fantasy setting inspired by the really colorful myths that folks have#Eibon in general is more based off mythology and culture than say dnd fantasy tropes#three guesses who was obsessed with mythology books as a kid
