Losing my mind over this article
hey if you're a UK resident can you sign this petition and if not please rb to spread the word
this is an official UK government petition that they have to respond to if it reaches 10,000 signatures
asking about the plot. asking about the plot. asking about the plot.
(In reference to this ask)
This is the part where I would drop a snippet. If i had one. But since I don't, you just get my snarky explanation.
So. The geopolitical situation:
Yes we have to start with the geopolitical situation. That's how you know this AU is fun.
It's not too different from PoMo (can you tell I put all my Sylvaire Kingdom thoughts in that story because I haven't written this one yet?) Fallinel and Sylvaire have tense relations, but hey, there's a permanent diplomatic mission there, and the Abernant girls get along with the heir well enough that some people think Riz is going to marry one of them. Relations with Highcourt aren't amazing either because Pok & Sklonda (and Sylvaire) as a whole are 'godless,' but there are a lot of Helioic missionaries, which goes a way to maintain those relationships. And they have a very close relationship with Solace. Similar values, and Sylvaire works hard to become a Technological Power, which means they can actually trade high-tech goods with Solace. And Sylvaire has a lot of natural resources, which also make them good to have a good relationship with.
All this to say, for a young nation (the bulk of this story takes place when the Bad Kids are, like, 19/20. A little older and more mature but still Young, so Sylvaire is, like, 16/17 years old) Sylvaire is doing very, very well. Better than anyone anticipates.
Until Pok is assassinated by Fallinel, that is.
Cue the declarations of war, from Sylvaire and Solace both. The Abernants get the hell out of dodge but abandon their daughters to do so. Luckily, Sklonda's reasonable, they can stay free so long as they use their considerable magical talent for the war effort. Fig enlists against her mom's wishes, Gorgug does too but shifts to the engineering corps when an injury puts him out of commission. Fabian's captaining a naval ship, Kristen's working as a field healer, and Riz...
Riz is grieving and angry and he hates Fallinel. But. There's something more going on here, he knows it.
He just needs to figure out what it is.
When around other people Riz and his mom force themselves to walk fully upright with a more humanoid posture. In their own home though (or in Riz's office when he's alone) they tend to hunch and crouch slightly because it's just a more comfortable posture for goblins, even popping up onto the balls of their feet.
Riz freaked out his party at LEAST once on the Night Yorb quest when he got up in the middle of the night for some water and his siloette didnt match what he usually had in the dark.
Can we boost this one until it reaches the Oklahoma City Tumblrites? This seems like something this website could rally and solve. Help save all this genetic information? I messaged them to offer to consult with the entymology lab near mine to see if they could store the bugs with us, but they are VERY far away and would have to drive long distance to us.
hey! since we’re very close to pride month, friendly reminder to use cishet instead of straight! let’s not forget about straight trans people!

Summary:
"and when i'm lying in my bed / i think about life and i think about death / and neither one particularly appeals to me / and if the day came when i felt a natural emotion / i'd get such a shock i'd probably lie / in the middle of the street and die" - the smiths, nowhere fast Riz Gukgak keeps himself busy enough that he doesn't have time for nuisances like emotions or stress. His heavy schedule sits like a weight on his shoulders, holding down depression and anxiety that threaten to bubble up at any moment. But slowly, imperceptibly slowly, and yet somehow all at once, he begins to fracture under the pressure.
