""Don't ruffle no feathers, he said. "Don't make no waves..." Easy for him to say. He's snug in his anti-grav barca-lounger back in Salem Center -- an' in stuck in Sauron's basement while his barbarian buddies stampede a herd o' dinosaurs down on my face. This is after Sauron hamstrings me, throws me in this fire-chasm and buries me in boulders! Good thing my mutant healin' power is still workin' at all -- even in low gear, it sure does help in the damage control department."

Status: Completed! All parts are done and posted!
Chronology:
It’s important to note that I’m not posting these parts in any particular order. As scene ideas come to me, I post a new part. If I were sitting down and writing these out long-form (as I would with a proper book), I would be implementing a lot more planning and arc organization. However, there will be times were stuff seems like it got mentioned in passing, and I might come back to it in a later part, which might also take place before a previously-posted part.
It’s also worth mentioning that I’m not writing headcanon lore stuff in any particular order, either. Again, I would normally plan out when I introduce certain nuggets of information.
However, if I do the amount of planning that I normally do when writing, you’d not see any of this until the final story was actually done. I usually write in a splatter pattern; I’ll do chapter 1, then 8, then 6, then 7, then 3, then 11, etc.
This is why I’m releasing these in “parts” and not “chapters”. It’s intended to be a loose collection of memories, rather than a single, cohesive narrative.
Headcanon Stuff:
So obviously I’m implementing a lot of my own worldbuilding and fan theories in this, particularly where Deep Rock Galactic is concerned. This is mostly because I’m a science fiction writer, and would not be able to write within the Dwarf Fortress setting.
Fantasy writers continuously impress and amaze me. I’ll stay in my sci-fi lane for the vast majority of this.
Also, as far as the DRG characters are concerned: I’m using a mix of fan theories from the community, as well as headcanon stuff here. I made up Klaus’s name, for example, but the community has really investigated who mission control is, as a person, and I want to use some of that. I’m also trying to keep a lot of the fan theories around Karl intact, during the few times I plan to mention him.
As far as Reiner, Thorn, Ulla, and Donner are concerned: They are not intended to be the box-cover characters of DRG. Instead, they’re supposed to be a random selection of potential player characters, with custom loadouts and cosmetics applied.
As of writing this, I haven’t really described their appearances in detail yet, but they’re non-standard. I’m not trying to impose my headcanon on the cover art characters.
The Netherlands has granted approval for Bulgaria's inclusion in the Schengen area, as per a report by "Reuters." Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov, speaking after the European Council meeting in Brussels, anticipated positive news, highlighting the crucial decision made by the Dutch government.
"Happy to announce that today the government informed the Parliament of its support for Schengen accession of Bulgaria. NL already expressed its support for full application of Schengen acquis to România in December 2022. My congrats to both countries for the good work done!"
This was said by Willemijn van Haaften, the ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Romania in a post on the "X" platform
Nikolai Denkov emphasized the extensive efforts undertaken in recent months, citing the passage of laws in Bulgaria's National Assembly and the establishment of a specialized monitoring mechanism linked to the rule of law. He attributed the positive outcome to November's successful mission in Sofia involving the Netherlands and Austria.
"To reach this point, there's been considerable progress—a series of laws passed in our National Assembly, the establishment of a special monitoring mechanism related to the rule of law, and a fruitful mission in November attended by delegates from the Netherlands and Austria. These indicators paved the way for what we hope will be a favorable decision from the Netherlands," Denkov stated optimistically.
The Dutch Parliament now needs to review and finalize the decision to lift their veto.
Political power dynamics shifted following the Dutch elections, wherein Geert Wilders' Eurosceptic party showcased unexpected strength. However, this outcome has complicated the formation of a governing coalition, possibly extending negotiations for months. Throughout this period, Prime Minister Mark Rutte's government has persisted in its functions, expected to remain in power even if forming a successor government becomes untenable, potentially leading to extraordinary elections.
During discussions at the European Council sidelines, the Bulgarian Prime Minister and Romanian President Klaus Iohannis engaged with Chancellor Karl Nehammer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen concerning Schengen. Mark Rutte's actions potentially intensify pressure on Nehammer to reconsider his stance, particularly as Austria stands as the sole dissenting voice with less explicit demands compared to the Netherlands, an aspect that impacts Bulgaria and Romania.
Vienna proposed a phased approach for the two countries to enter the passport-free travel zone, suggesting an initial inclusion from airports and ports followed by land borders, albeit without a clearly defined timeline for the latter stage. Reports from Romanian media indicate a willingness in Bucharest to entertain and possibly accept this compromise, despite the drawback that long queues of cargo trucks at borders with Bulgaria and Hungary might persist. Bulgaria holds a more resolute position, demanding a definitive decision from Vienna with specific terms for implementation and complete inclusion in the Schengen area.
Denkov also addressed ongoing negotiations with Austria, indicating that potential solutions are being exchanged in written form. "We are currently in the phase of exchanging possible texts on what a resolution might entail. Until a consensus is reached, these discussions remain preliminary," he clarified.
Bulgaria's hopes for Schengen entry are now closer than ever, pending the Dutch Parliament's decision and ongoing negotiations with Austria.
