Do you think Jesus ever felt homesick. Do you think he missed his mom

#wolfy religious tedtalks #thinking about tjat time i went to china for like two months #for a study program #and i had a banger time it was great #but when i went to bed at night id sort of just sit around #and it was already like 11 pm and my parents were asleep #i couldnt really call them #but id sit and read or watch some videos or eat noodles and check the clock and look at that its 2am #what i wouldnt give for a hug right about now #do you think that after all his miracles he would crawl into an unfamiliar bed and he would think of his own in nazareth

Thoughts on if the USA will pass Israel 'aid' separate from Ukraine 'aid'?

Think the Dems would much rather give concessions on the border wall or abortion rights than allow anything to impede either war, think GOP would rather force concessions on the border wall or abortion rights than to do anything more than huff and puff about Ukraine

#like threatening something youre not entirely honest about doing in order to gain something you care more about is politics 101 #gop insurgents are just actually doing politics while basically nobody else is #they wanna prioritize war w china and iran but once they recognize the west has already lost russia as a potential ally #then its at most a pause for rearmament #& to give us industry a chance to ramp up production

Just heard a MASSIVE jet sound over my house, and I know it's not a commercial one because you can check in Flightradar, so it's likely the airforce, the thing is Argentina has like, 12 jets, so it's strange they're over my house right now what are they doing

#cosas mias #Argentina has one of the most depleted airforces for a country its size even Perú and Ecuador could wipe out ours #we were supposed to buy some from China but I doubt Mr. Milei will be too happy about that

Text from the image:

The Gichan are the product of a long history of conquest, fueled by their much coveted mountain passes and watersheds. The culture of the Kingdom of Gichan is highly syncretic. It owes its mores and traditions in varying parts to the underlying cultural substrate, to the Ghøwout Empire's centuries of rule, to the practices of their neighbors and to those of the new Gichan regime. To defend its precious lands, Gichan has a well-developped military with a strong core of professional soldiers, Gichan's regime is indissociable from its military: all noble families have a strong military background and it is customary for nobles of all rank to serve as officers for years or even decades.

Gichan was originally the name of a small nation in the mountains up the Cianji River, which became legendary for their unabating resistance in the face of the early Ghøwout Empire. When Ghøwout's northernmost province rebelled and seceded, it took on the name Gichan as a symbol of their resistance against imperial rule.

Gichan society is strongly divided between its military and peasant classes, but its peasants are far from powerless. Peasantry in Gichan is much revered : it is said to carry the nation on its strong back. as it works the fields and crafts the goods that feed and clothe the nation's soldiers. This romanticized potrayal often impedes serious understanding between local leaders and military lords, but fosters an attitude of gratitude towards the peasant's hard toil. In the harsh Gichan lands, a satisfied peasantry is seen as a priority.

Gican society is organized as chains of villages, each with their own village leaders, trading spouses and ressources up and down the mountains. They are ruled in a roughly feudal fashion, paying taxes in labour and goods to local military lords which themselves defer to higher lords up to the Gican royal court. Like in Ghøwout, religious specialists are excluded from this hierarchy: known as chui-chuøn (t. wild men), they are traditional healers and spiritual leaders often living in relative hermitage. In a set of practices long considered uncivilized by the Ghøwout, chui-chuøn wear numerous pelts and animal bones as a symbol of their otherworldly connections and hermitage. Uniquely, chui-chuøn do not wear tail brooches, as a way to signal that they are apart from society and clanship.

The Gichan use a modified Ghøwout script and many ghøwoutish loanwords, but most Gichan do not speak the Ghøwout tongue. They speak a variety of dialects, the most common of which is Tchougougch. Much of the peasantry is multilingual, having learned the language of a neighboring community within Gichan or of the many foreign traders using Gichan's mountain passes.

Gichan's territory has often been coveted and contested, much to the suffering of its locals. The revolution that broke Gichan apart from Ghøwout was strongly backed by the people, who felt Ghøwout had abandoned them in the face of the invading Senq Ha Empire. The Senq Ha had come from overseas and taken the Peninsular lands like a wildfire, and were now at their door, but Ghøwout, weakened by illnesses brought by the conquerors and internal strife, failed to mount a defense for Gichan in time, allowing much of it to be conquered. After this betrayal, the people of the passes, under the rule of two different empires, united and rebelled under the legendary name Gichan. They became the first province to secede from Ghøwout, initiating the Empire's long decline, and one of the first major setbacks of the Senq Ha in their invasion of Uanlikri.

#peoples of uanlikri #art by me #worldbuilding #antiole world #antiole fashion #gichan #gican #mountainfolk #Gichan is exciting! it's also the first nation / ethnicity that people in my story are actually likely to meet. Everyone knows about Ghøwou #bc Ghøwout is huge like. russia or china. but Ghøwout is oppressive insular and far away and its unlikely to meet one north of the mountain #Gichan move around more owing to all the trade routes they're defending

just here to say that I loveee the way you have doodled jin ling. squeaky toy golden boy. the most nephew to ever nephew. thank you for delightful comics, that's all, mwah

I simply think the Jin DNA is full of lil guy potential; like sugar ants on a peony B*)

#better drawn mdzs #ask #MDZS #Jin Ling #jin guangyao #jin zixuan #mo xuanyu #They are taking a little nap after snacking on nectar.... #I was working on some life study florals when I got this ask and thought 'I can combine these.' #Mwahs u back on the forehead; thank you for giving me an excuse to draw these guys #I really like doodling jin ling so I'm happy to know other people like him too #depending on how I rearrange these in my queue this is either the first time Jin Zixuan appears on this blog #or its right after he's been torn to shreds #Such is life! Jin Zixuan should have never disrespected the queen! #okay lets talk ants and peonys for a moment here #I use to think that peonys needed ants to help them fully blossom but that's not the case at all! #They want ants around to eat the pests that do more harm to them #peony's in China are associated with wealth and prosperity; but I've grown up with them meaning 'generosity and mutualship' #Yellow peonies are for fresh starts and new beginnings! Much to think about.

fuck is a tankie

it used to be referring to people who were apologists for tyrannical governments and denied their crimes (ex. pro-soviets who approved of the ussr's handling of the hungarian revolution of 1956) from lefter leaning communists and anti-authoritarians but nowadays, if you see anybody calling somebody else a tankie, its an immediate red flag that theyre a liberal in denial who just hates actual leftists lol

one of the critiques of Hetalia is that “personification of countries is such an unoriginal idea!!!” which, sure, yeah... but Hetalia offers the unique spin on such an old concept by asking the very important question:

“what if they were all salty about it?”

#the show and fandom #portrays it in a very meta way #like the nations know they're uniquely situated #relative to humans #and they're Very Salty about it #and I love that #I adore the sass and sarcasm #the way the nations complain tiredly #about the wildest most unrelatable shit #but its just another tuesday to them #hws hetalia #hetalia #face family #hws asia #hws meta #hws england #hws germany #hws france #hws america #hws china #hws russia #hws italy #hws japan

hm the thing north americans should understand when non english speakers complain about websites or the internet in general being very usamerican is that like. its like that everywhere online. everything is for you... its all built with you as the default in mind ... every other nationality has to carve in a little.community for themselves but theres not any website online thats like. for south americans. or for koreans. or for mexicans. etc like you get the idea. there are only communities within default US websites. that gets frustrating when youre not usamerican

#the only sites i can think of made with other nationalities as the default is like chinese websites #because their government did that on purpose #as cynical as i am about china (my personal communist views and et cetera.) i think that was based on their part #i wish there was a website for brazilians how funny would that be #anyway. 'i dont get why people complain that tumblr is an usamerican website like yeah obviously! its american!' #so is youtube and twitter and instagram and tiktok and reddit and pinterest and- you get the idea #like it gets frustrating. of course you dont see the problem #because you never felt like you had to make a place for yourself or find a way to fit into an online culture that wadnt your own #idk 🤷‍♂️ my personal opinion i guess #neon.txt

[ahjuummas]

you think i would get tired of watching chinese shows with the same plot of 4/5 teen best friends that go to high school, graduate, start dating as soon as they enter college but no, i could watch a hundred of these

#when i fly towards you #a love so beautiful #that one that has youth in the name #le coup de foudre is not quite like that but its adjacent #i just love that puppy love is such an stigma in china that it created a fucking subgenre of shows about first love without showing it
