*How the Restoration members play Helldivers 2*

Lanolin: The Shot Caller and min-maxer extraordinar. But when people deviate from the plan she tilts harder than a league of legends player losing their promos.

Tangle: Having the most fun. Pulls off some seriously clutch plays but dies a lot from not noticing enemies.

Whisper: Absolute crackshot but spends most games trying to keep Tangle from using up all their reinforce budget.

Jewel: Always brings jump pack and doesn't like fighting terminids for reasons I hope are obvious.

Amy: Likes topping people off with ammo and supporting people with the Stalwart. Immensely frustrated there are no melee weapons.

Surge: Runs off alone and either dies immediately and slinks back to the rest of the team humiliated or clears half the map by herself. There is no in between.

Kit: Permabanned from hacking the servers so he could get more super rare samples.

Belle: Frighteningly good at the game. Weapon of choice is the Slugger shotgun. Dies exclusively from happenstance.

Duo/Mimic: Drops airstrikes on Whisper at the funniest opportunities, then claims it's an accident.

I made what I think is my first real Sonic OC, I'm not sure though.

Mido is a Holland lop Bunny from an alternate universe where the restoration wasn't able to cure the metal virus, but also didn't fall.

There is many changes in this universe on how the virus works, the the events, and the solution.

Go ahead and ask me for what the story is behind this universe, and or behind Mido.

I will get the general basic things for you.

Mido is distant from people, hard to make long-term friendships when your friends keep turning into zombots.

Mido is biologically female, however they prefer non-binary pronouns. (Why did I make them non-binary if I'm going to say that they're biologically female? That's because it plays a role in how the character Acts.)

Mido was born during the outbreak, and and never got to know their parents to begin with. All they knew was the restoration, and that was perfectly fine with them.

Mido had a wispon that resembles a bubble gun (originally it was going to be more similar to a handgun but I figured bubblegun would have been more fitting).

When they join up in an experiment they're injected with an antivirus, not a cure per se but it does prevent the victim from turning into a complete zombot unlike the original virus. The antivirus itself does have some quirks, enhancing mobians to be even more supermobian than usual including stuff like enhanced brain processing power so on and so forth.

Reason why not everyone takes this antivirus is that there's a good chance that you could end up a zombot instead of a supermobian.

I got the idea of using a virus to stop a virus, kind of like how an unmovable object collides within unstoppable Force.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask, just know I might not be able to answer everything immediately. I might take time to actually tell you things, this is likely because I'm busy with real-world stuff or didn't get the notification.

I took advantage of the long weekend to visit West Rock State Park, and discovered this great confluence of at least two of my interests: regicide and megaliths!

The royal "scandals" nowadays can't hold a candle to the grandeur of what Charles II got up to just in his off hours. RETVRN:

The now Duchess of Richmond, however, soon returned to court, where she remained for many years; and although she was disfigured by smallpox in 1669, she retained her hold on the king's affections.[4] It is certain, at least, that Charles went on to post the Duke to Scotland and then to Denmark as ambassador, where he died in 1672. It is however speculated that the duchess of the King may have had an affair. Samuel Pepys recorded in May 1668:

(..)he is mighty hot upon the Duchess of Richmond; insomuch that, upon Sunday was seen, at night, after he had ordered his Guards and coach to be ready to carry him to the Park, he did, on a sudden, take a pair of oars or sculler, and all alone, or but one with him, go to Somersett House, and there, the garden-door not being open, himself clamber over the walls to make a visit to her...

Oak Apple Day/ Whit Monday

An Oak Apple. Source: Wikipedia

Today is Oak Apple Day and, in 2023, also Whit Monday and the late May Bank Holiday in the U.K. Oak Apple Day, also known as Restoration Day, has been celebrated since the 1660s to mark the resoration of the Stuart monarchy under Charles II, after England’s ill-fated experiment with republicanism. The oak apple was held, along with compliant birds, to have helped disguise the fugitive king when he climbed the Boscobel Oak to escape searching Roundhead soldiers after his defeat at Worcester by Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army. Thereafter wearing an oak apple on this day denoted one’s Royalist sympathies. The day took off as a set of festivals because it also enabled the return of many late May traditions that the Commonwealth government had banned as being suspiciously pagan. The most obviously pre-Christian survival that takes place today is the Castleton Garland, in Derbyshire, in which girls dressed in white dance in a procession led by the Garland King who leads the parade through Castleton, accompanied by a Garland Queen, dressed in seventeenth century costume. The King’s bottom half however comprises a garland adorned frame of which he is relieved when the procession reaches the church and the vegetation is hoisted up the church tower, along with branches of oak. The girls then dance round the maypole. The whole event, despite its Stuart disguise, is probably a pagan May Day practice, with the Garland King being a version of Jack-in-the-Green.

Whit Monday was an altogether more riotous affair after the solemnities of Pentecost, but most traditions have now transferred to the late May Bank Holiday. There are many late spring fairs, Morris dancing and processions, including the appearance of the horse-god survival, the Hooden Horse, at the dances of the East Kent Morris in Charing, near Ashford in Kent.

Thought of a way I can introduce Team Hooligan into my AU

Some background: Clutch and many other dormant criminal organizations sensed weakness in Eggman after Starline nearly usurped him. So now there is a brewing gang war on the horizon.

Team Hooligan while on a simple heist get caught in the middle of a skirmish between Clutch’s forces and another criminal organization. Team Hooligan barely gets out of their alive. Injured enough that Bark, the only one not fully incapacitated, takes his teammates to the Restoration for help. There they relay their story and the close encounter they had with a deadly new foe (an OC of mine I have yet to reveal)

Judge John Bradshaw

It was on this day in 1649 that England introduced the first of several attempts at a republican system of government after the defeat and execution of King Charles I after the English civil wars. It was known as The Commonwealth, and it was run by a Council of State, led by Judge John Bradshaw. Bradshaw was a prominent Puritan lawyer and had been instrumental not only in preparing Parliament’s legal case against the king when he was brought to trial, but he also led the prosecution itself. He was also a key figure in the sentencing of King Charles to death and was a signatory to the monarch’s death warrant. Bradshaw was a competent administrator and supported all the various resultant republican regimes including the ultimate one which was the Protectorate, headed up by Oliver Cromwell. He died peacefully in his bed.

However, Bradshaw was not allowed to rest in peace. After the failure of the Protecorate, the executed king’s son was restored to the throne as King Charles II and embarked on a campaign of vengeance on all the regicides, including the dead ones. Bradshaw’s body was disinterred and hung on a gallows in a ghoulish act of royal revenge. Bradshaw’s ghost now haunts Westminster Abbey’s deanery and the Manor House at Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.

If you aren't following the news here in the Pacific Northwest, this is a very, very big deal. Our native salmon numbers have been plummeting over the past century and change. First it was due to overfishing by commercial canneries, then the dams went in and slowed the rivers down and blocked the salmons' migratory paths. More recently climate change is warming the water even more than the slower river flows have, and salmon can easily die of overheating in temperatures we would consider comfortable.

Removing the dams will allow the Klamath River and its tributaries to return to their natural states, making them more hospitable to salmon and other native wildlife (the reservoirs created by the dams were full of non-native fish stocked there over the years.) Not only will this help the salmon thrive, but it makes the entire ecosystem in the region more resilient. The nutrients that salmon bring back from their years in the ocean, stored within their flesh and bones, works its way through the surrounding forest and can be traced in plants several miles from the river.

This is also a victory for the Yurok, Karuk, and other indigenous people who have relied on the Klamath for many generations. The salmon aren't just a crucial source of food, but also deeply ingrained in indigenous cultures. It's a small step toward righting one of the many wrongs that indigenous people in the Americas have suffered for centuries.
