The Legislative Council(LegCo) had their election and had the day where they take the oath a month ago
And due to the intense conflict between the more liberal-minded Hong Kong and Mainland China(more like the Communist Party, but most people say it as the entire Mainland China), some people made a politics party that called for the indepedence of Hong Kong, which the Communist Party is VERY against. If I remember correctly, around four people from that side of politics managed to get into LegCo(70 people), which also meant the Pan-Democrats(most? of them call for democracy) and the Pro-Establishment(most of them support the Communist Party) had near similar places in LegCo
Now, on the day to take the oath, two of the independence party decided to make derogatory remarks about China(note: not the Communist Party, but China), and the pro-establishment had an uproar about it
They took it to court, they used it as evidence to prevent the two from re-taking the oath, and even the government(also very Communist Party sided) decided to get the Communist Party to judge about the section of law that moderated how LegCo members took oath. Which was a major problem because the court was already ruling it
And meanwhile the pro-establishment kept stopping the two from retaking the oath by forcing LegCo to filibustering
Except that a very large portion of their policy during running for the LegCo this year was anti-filibustering because the pro-Democrats were pulling that off for quite a bit of the session last year, and the government yelled a lot about it last year But did jack SHIT about it for the last month
Nothing has been passed for an entire month, and because the Communist Party was going to have their say on the law, there was a protest recently and people threw bricks(it was the second time it happened since 1997, and the first time since that was around January).
Yeah, the classmate had a very good point, in fact

I just love the myth of Persephone, i mean the real, original version of it, because it’s not like she got kidnapped, no, this bitch was la-de-da-ing in a meadow and she just happened to find an entrance to the Underworld and she was like “Imma check this out”. And she just wanders into the Underworld and discovers that hey this place ain’t too bad.
Meanwhile Hades is in the background “????? UM??? PRETTY GIRL??? WHY ARE YOU HERE?????? YOU AREN’T DEAD???”
And Persephone (who was originally called Kore just a little fyi) just looked at him and said “I like it here. I’m staying.”
And Hades kinda just went with it, until Demeter started throwing the temper tantrum of the millenium upstairs and Zeus had to intervene because this shit was getting out of hand and its actually his job to be admistrator of justice. Which considering the shit he gets up to is kinda histerical but that’s another story there.
And basically Persephone wasn’t a prisoner or kidnap victim at all she just really loved the Underworld and her (eventual) husband, and the Greeks feared her arguably more than her husband because Hades could be reasoned with but Persephone was the one laying the smack down on sinners, and really, who wouldn’t be at least a little scared of someone who’s name means something along the lines of “the destroyer”
Basically, Persephone is amazing and everbody needs to get on her level
i think the best part of that myth is that Zeus decided to change Kore’s name to Persephone (basically “the one who brings chaos”) only because she wanted to stay in the underworld and SHE WOULDN’T FUCKING LISTEN then Zeus, all-mighty king of the gods, kinda gives up and goes “fine, but you’re going to visit your mom” “also, I changed your name” “get rekt”
Also, if I’m not mistaken, Kore means “little girl” so imagine going from that to “chaos bringer”
I mean, going from little girl to chaos bringer sounds like a p solid deal to me, sign me up.
Also Hades offered to have her be his equal which was a big deal then in marriage. So you know, she’s the scary one in the relationship.
Hades was also pretty much the best spouse of all the Olympians. And Queen of the Underworld ain’t a bad gig.
“Are you trying to fool me with those bullshits over there?”
NEW MAGIC POKER MACHINE
Anyway since I don’t have much to do rn I’ll talk about the buddy that’s been in my profile picture for a while also the reason for my current URL. More under cut!
Nemo Canopus, from Shironeko Project(I wouldn’t recommend the game it’s very time-consuming…), voiced by Tatsuhisa Suzuki. Left picture is his debut look, right picture is his 2.0 look.
Plot stuff:
-he lost his left arm and his hometown at age 6 because of bombing from the in-game Empire, and joined the opposing faction, the Union
-was assigned as head of a submarine to protect an island from the Empire
-probably fell in love with a girl on the island
-said girl was a projection of an ancient technology which is a parallel of Noah’s ark her name’s even Noa
-so the island got bombed by both Empire and Union eventually so you can say he lost somewhere he called home twice RIP and he took the girl off the island
-he took up the codename of Nemo and ‘invader’ after that
-he figured out something was up with the girl when her wounds healed by themselves, but felt pretty upset about it all the same
-he also saw that there was something up with the Union and tried to solo it in investigating the Union base but Noa joined in as well
-eventually they found a submarine, the counterpart of the Ark and Nemo was given the role of captain to protect Noa
-also gained the ability to attach the submarine’s cannon to his prosthetic arm and blast stuff
-Noa returned to the Ark at one point but Nemo took her back out by the name of ‘invasion’
-wound up being a temporary guard at a theme park
Other stuff:
-probably can only make takoyaki as food because as captain he had takoyaki as lunch and dinner
-found that Noa’s cheeks were smoother than a cat’s toe beans
-prefers coffee to tea, and is very good at massaging people apparently
-Noa says that he’s the type to try and solo everything without someone to stop him
-also acts very snarky and bristly to anyone who isn’t Noa
-considering he lost his guard’s badge and didn’t know it he probably loses things often too
-Nemo and Noa are known in the fandom for being the most obvious canon couple because even meta shows it off: their debut classes in-game were Dragon Rider and Warrior(axe-user) respectively and their 2.0 versions were Warrior and Dragon Rider respectively

Extraterrestre: porque hay personas quienes creen que inglés es la única lengua que se tiene que hablar.
Yo: te entiendo, es justo.
Я: Почему вы уничтожаете Землю?!?! Инопланетяне: Потому что есть люди, которые считвют, что им нужно новорить только по-английски. Я: А, ну понятно, тогда ладно!
This is going to be the rosetta stone of our time.
I’ve recently started filling out character questionnaires and I decided to share one of my favorites. It’s great for writers and roleplayers alike, and aside from being a ton of fun to fill out, it allows you to really get to know your character. Therefore, if you’ve got time, I highly recommend trying it out. Credit for this questionnaire goes to this site, though I added my own questions and changed it up a bit.
Talk about your character’s name. What is it, and how is it pronounced? What does it mean? Does your character have any nicknames?
Post a picture of your character or describe what they look like in detail. Note any distinguishing facial features.
Describe your character’s personality.
What is your character like in relationships? Are they clingy? Faithful or unfaithful? Do they jump from one relationship to the other?
What kind of things does your character like? What do they dislike?
How does your character treat their friends and family? How about strangers? Enemies?
What kind of people does your character surround themselves with? Why?
Where was your character born? Where have they lived since then? Where is the place that they call home?
Where does your character go when they are angry?
What is your character’s biggest fear? Who have they told this to? Who would they never tell this to? Why?
Does your character have a secret? If so, what is it?
What makes your character laugh out loud? What makes them angry?
Has your character ever been in love? Have they ever had a broken heart?
Does your character have any flaws? What are they?
Then dig deeper by asking more unconventional questions:
What is in your characters refrigerator right now? On their bedroom floor? On their nightstand?
Your character is walking home in the dark when they hear some noises around the corner. What do they do? How would they react if they heard someone crying out for help?
When your character thinks of their childhood kitchen, what smell do they associate with it? Sauerkraut? Oatmeal cookies? Paint? Why is that smell so resonant?
Your character is doing intense spring cleaning. What is easy for them to throw out? What is difficult for them to part with? Why?
It is Saturday at noon. What is your character doing? Give details. If they’re eating breakfast, what exactly do they eat? If they’re stretching out in the backyard to sun, what kind of blanket or towel do they lie on?
While driving down the road, your character hits a dog and swerves off the road into a tree. Do they get out to see to the car first, or the animal?
Your character is in a relationship and they come home to find their partner in bed with another person. How do they react? How do they feel?
What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?
Your character is getting ready for a night out. Where are they going? What do they wear? Who will they be with?
Your character gets into a discussion about death and dying. How would they describe the perfect death? Do they believe in life after? Are they afraid of death?
A friend of your character calls, they want to hang out. What do they do? If they stay home, what will your character suggest they do? If they go out, where will they go?
As title said, eh. Listed in chronological order.
