[shy badger]

How dare you put my state in the same category as Virginia😂

[merry estuary]

[pallid sparrow]

Michigan Empire 💀

[winged imp]

they took chicago

[pallid sparrow]

still not empire

great virginia might be a one

missouri not really because they got places like wyoming or other shitholes mostly

yes i knot wyoming is not there, just an example

new world crusaders sounds fun

[winged imp]

The only lore i have

[pallid sparrow]

free city of los angeles

[winged imp]

[pallid sparrow]

@pallid sparrow a random assortment for you (its all alt-history)

ohh alt-history these i remembered of course i thought you participated in common wikipedia

still amazing and definitely an intellectual activity

not for simple minds /hj

considering its now up to here 😭

Democratic-Republican LOL

i wish i could see that in real world

that is a actual party

really?

oh historically

but not existing today

not anymore

Founded May 13, 1792; 230 years ago[1]
Dissolved 1834; 189 years ago

fun fact though

the democratic party of today was born from that party

nice

[winged imp]

My take on Axis Victory

[pallid sparrow]

Turkish Social Republic?historically impossible, but still nice for my leftist heart

unless it's just a name for n4zi puppet state then not

xD

"Alien space bats" is a neologism for plot devices used in alternate history to mean an implausible point of divergence

yeah this is alien space bats in terms of turkey xD

but rest possible without this british state cornwall and others direct annexation

that's weird

these islands of britain are very much possible

[pallid sparrow]

but as i've said, if it's just the name of the n4zi puppet state, like the name of national socialist german WORKER party xDDD

[winged imp]

social republic, as in

[pallid sparrow]

then that's realistifc

[pallid sparrow]

ohhh

right

[merry estuary]

aha

[pallid sparrow]

you learn something new everyday

[merry estuary]

I knew itsly has been everything thru history

[pallid sparrow]

fun fact

Annie the musical (some versions) are histroical

FDR appears in the live stage version and they even have this song

[merry estuary]

#1059969298434633728

[pallid sparrow]

[pallid sparrow]

another random fun fact

[pallid sparrow]

i'd be a regular customer of them lol

[tawdry girder]

i know what it is…

[pallid sparrow]

the person who found bismark found the titanic

[merry estuary]

if you guessed not coffee, ur correct

[merry estuary]

[pallid sparrow]

[tawdry girder]

🍃 💨

[pallid sparrow]

[merry estuary]

Jules sacrificed their life

[pallid sparrow]

just kidding

[tawdry girder]

wdym its the wind blowing some leaves

[pallid sparrow]

[merry estuary]

#banned Beautiful war symbol

[pallid sparrow]

well appreciate that n4zis are losing :))

[merry estuary]

which is a mis used religious symbol called the smabi if I'm correct

[tawdry girder]

[merry estuary]

Swabi?

[pallid sparrow]

at least its not as bad as this

[merry estuary]

is that the titanic 2

[pallid sparrow]

tell me your jokeing sir

[tawdry girder]

seeing sunken ships makes me sad for some reason

[shy badger]

Yeah the symbol they used was a turned around version of one that meant peace

[pallid sparrow]

if anyone can guess what that ship is without googling it

[tawdry girder]

they just have a sad vibe

[pallid sparrow]

i will give you nitro right now

[shy badger]

As an aspiring marine biologist I think sunken ships are cool

[merry estuary]

I can't wait to see the titanic 2 movie , We just gotta wait for the ship to sink this year

[pallid sparrow]

i have a deep love for ships

[tawdry girder]

yamato?

[pallid sparrow]

nah

its the RMS Lusitania

[shy badger]

Wait that’s what I was going to guess

[merry estuary]

I'm pretty sure it's a battleship or submarine

[tawdry girder]

https://tenor.com/view/das-boot-depart-gif-18765456

[pallid sparrow]

@shy badger

[merry estuary]

he'll naw

[shy badger]

Pretty

[pallid sparrow]

btw

and finaly

andrea doria

[shy badger]

Pretty

[pallid sparrow]

oh btw

cos that sank in the 50s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYjfSwRIqNQ

footage exists

and yes im a ship nerd, so is coffe but they are offline

[shy badger]

Oh wow

[merry estuary]

Titanic 2 is setting sail this year

[pallid sparrow]

suppoodly

also did you know, titanic is not the highest death count

[merry estuary]

on boats?

[pallid sparrow]

this is

[pallid sparrow]

By one estimate,[4][5] 9,400 people died

if your wondering why 9 thousand folk where on a ship

they where fleeing the soviet union

[tawdry girder]

the wilhem gustolf?

[pallid sparrow]

MV Wilhelm Gustloff was a German military transport ship which was sunk on 30 January 1945 by Soviet submarine S-13 in the Baltic Sea while evacuating civilian evacuees from East Prussia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Estonia[3] and German military personnel from Gotenhafen (Gdynia) as the Red Army advanced. By one estimate,[4][5] 9,400 people died, making it the largest loss of life in a single ship sinking in history.

[pallid sparrow]

yep

i canna lie, she does look nice

[merry estuary]

Alex has a obsession with ships I see

[pallid sparrow]

he does, i have a titanic model on my desk i

just dont talk about it because i dont want to come across as boring or annoying

i fear shareing my intrests

[pallid sparrow]

east germany would make it better because i love communism period

[tawdry girder]

…

[merry estuary]

west Germany was richest

[tawdry girder]

surely the people in communist countries werent half starving in that time

[pallid sparrow]

yeah sure

i am from poland

i know way better than you western someone

okay

lets just say this

firstly, communinst dictators are bad, there control over media and propagnda

and the lack of democracy was bad

but liveing condentions under the communinsts werent always as bad was the west portrayed

true

[tawdry girder]

i know alot of eastern european people and alot would disagree

[pallid sparrow]

remember alot of we know and hear about communinsts

is propaganda

made to paint them in a bad light

because cold war

[merry estuary]

communism and democracy are two diffrent forms of governments which were/are intended to be controlled by the folk

[pallid sparrow]

also true

[tawdry girder]

none of them worked

[merry estuary]

Democracy being certain people being put for election, And then voted by the folk

communism meaning anyone could have power

[pallid sparrow]

democracy and comunissm didnt work? sorry but that statement is absolutely not true

countries from both sides were developing, just in the other way

[merry estuary]

you realize nearly the entire world is democratic right

with political parties that are not

[tawdry girder]

🤷 idk pretty corrupt system to me

[pallid sparrow]

liberal democracy as we know it right now is also really corrupt

[merry estuary]

parliaments are considered democracys

[pallid sparrow]

look up what scandal with Qatar and FIFA has happened in the EU

a greek woman just took 1mln euros like that

so please

stop saying that democracy is so beautiful

it's not

[merry estuary]

lol the next form of democracy might be digital ☠️

[pallid sparrow]

democracy if done right is good, look at the nordics or switzerland

but done wrong

it can be used to supress folk

and give power to the wrong folk

[merry estuary]

I mean democracy is better than fascism eitherway

[pallid sparrow]

when i see democracy in the UK or US or Poland it's really tragic

two-party system practically xd

[merry estuary]

every nordic besides Sweden..

[pallid sparrow]

the uk is fucked tbf

when you would go deeper inside nordic democracies there are bad sides also unluckily

every system has them

and in poland we did not starve

communism gave us many living spaces that wouldn't develop under capitalism like now

because for the developers it's not worth it to build living spaces

[merry estuary]

Sweden managed in a couple of years going from one of the richest countries to a struggling economical nation and corrupt officials

[pallid sparrow]

under communism there was a plan and they did that and hurray we got a lot of accomodations that serve us till today

[merry estuary]

Swiss is the best way to take an example of democracy due how well its executed

[pallid sparrow]

and today we have housing crisis

so no, capittalism and democracy can't solve these problems

unless we talk about market socialism which has a lot in common with capitalism

then yes

it's really good

[merry estuary]

fuck I need to seek a vid gimme a min

[pallid sparrow]

can i just make a request

that we try keep things focused on the historical side instead of modern politics

yeah okay

i won't talk about this anymore then

it is a very intresting debate though

but this is inevitable to talk about politics when you talk about history, i'm sorry

that's a fact

if you try to split these topics

you may endup in simple talk that is not interesting

my humble opinion

but i respect your request

i feel

Nikita Khrushchev could of kept communism strong

instead of he path the soviet union went down

well.. life

oh btw

i dont meen, dont bring modern poltics up

[shy badger]

It’s just that this a history thread

[pallid sparrow]

okay okay

dont need to educate me about this anymore

i respected the request and that's it

Nikita Khrushchev

is an intresting man

Adolf was also an interesting man, but he did really bad things

he attempted to reform the soviet union, it did not play out very well

[pallid sparrow]

yeah

and he was removed from power

becfause in the end he was really struggling with alcoholism

literally nobody could understand him

you know what though

thinking about it now

i dont think we where ever thaught anything about polish history at all

yeah that's true

people learn only about WW2

in terms of poland

and tha'ts really bad

[merry estuary]

I searched thru 6k vids ans couldn't find that one specific

[pallid sparrow]

its sad because poland has existed for such a long time

British schools tell you how amaxing and big rome was but it was not the biggest empire

well in poland we learned (at advanced history in high school) not a lot about the UK xD

at least in some historical periods

we invented contrentration camps, i can tell you that much

because in some we were taught a lot

[pallid sparrow]

british people? no wonder, they also invented brutal colonialism /hj because spain and portugal were first ofc

castile to be correct obv

also

[merry estuary]

Found it

[pallid sparrow]

this is the perfect time to say this

[merry estuary]

Also I'm pretty sure the Portuguese is the birth of colonialism

[pallid sparrow]

Winston Churchill
does not deserve the status of hero

he was a horribile person

[pallid sparrow]

no, a portugese man was hired for castile

[pallid sparrow]

More than a century before the Jamestown, Virginia settlement led by captain Christopher Newport, modern colonialism started with the Portuguese Prince Henry the Navigator (1394–1460), initiating the Age of Exploration and establishing African trading posts (1445 onwards).

[merry estuary]

See

[pallid sparrow]

okay

to be fair with you

[pallid sparrow]

true true

i had no idea till i just googled it

[pallid sparrow]

haha

[pallid sparrow]

he casued so many issues in india he's a horible man

you know who else is a disgusting histroical figure

[merry estuary]

The Portuguese actually discovered most of the new world before the Spanish (castilians) and aragonese

[pallid sparrow]

Cristopher Columbus

well historians have disputes always on specifying specific dates and situations that are the beginning of something

[merry estuary]

But portufal was never capable of settling the new world as much as the British and castilians

[pallid sparrow]

Columbus needs putting in the bin

so maybe this google is not entirely true

since historians make the real history, the scientists of history :))

[pallid sparrow]

yeah very true that i can agree on

its funny how all this led to America

[merry estuary]

the Portuguese were the biggest explorers of the new world

[pallid sparrow]

i hate america

i wish new world was never visited /j

also

[merry estuary]

if it never was the world would look way diffrent today

[pallid sparrow]

you know how folks go on about rome being massive right?

[merry estuary]

Mongol empire was biggest non modern empire

[pallid sparrow]

i still find it amusing

that this tiny as fuck island manged to rule so much

[merry estuary]

Britian is not small but okay

[pallid sparrow]

yeah but dont you think that size is not a grreat measure of empireness

there's a socioeconomic side to that

rome had a lot of population and a great economy

[tawdry girder]

technically they controlled all of their known world so they were the biggest for them

[pallid sparrow]

its small compared to some of its colonies for sure

[merry estuary]

and britian only managed to do so by primarily torture of folks and colonization

[pallid sparrow]

about Qing dynasty i can definitely agree

or yuan

chinese were powerful as f..

colonization is fucking evil that's for sure

china has a habit of exploding in its history alot

[tawdry girder]

seeing qing dynasty scares the vic3 player in me

[pallid sparrow]

only in the eu4 /j

yeah it exploded

but other time poeriods

were just amazing for them what to say

ancient china was also TOTALLY powerful

xi huangdi dynasty was EPIC

china gave us fireworks so

nobody appreciates china

[merry estuary]

that was the wrong one lol

[pallid sparrow]

gonna say

[merry estuary]

Yan dynasty also existrd

[pallid sparrow]

and in ancient period i think it was an empire even equally great to rome

[merry estuary]

but China loved exploding every 3 years

[pallid sparrow]

jusst remember

[tawdry girder]

https://tenor.com/view/bring-out-the-fine-china-gif-25821120

[pallid sparrow]

many hundred years before the rome

so you know what i mean

they wouldn't be as great

The Yellow Emperor, also known as the Yellow Thearch or by his Chinese name Huangdi (/ˈhwɑːŋ ˈdiː/),[3] is a deity (shen) in Chinese religion, one of the legendary Chinese sovereigns and culture heroes included among the mytho-historical Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and cosmological Five Regions' Highest Deities (Chinese: 五方上帝; pinyin: Wǔfāng Shàngdì).[4][note 1] Calculated by Jesuit missionaries on the basis of Chinese chronicles and later accepted by the twentieth-century promoters of a universal calendar starting with the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi's traditional reign dates are 2697–2597 or 2698–2598 BC.

really worth to know about him

i'd manage to say a lot but im restricted by poor english

xD

how much history could be changed if china stoped explodeing every 6 seconds

[pallid sparrow]

"he was considered the inventor of writing, the compass, the potter's wheel, the first calendar, astronomy, mathematics and medicine, and during the development of Taoism he was considered one of its main patrons""

[merry estuary]

not me finding this cursed video on my phone

[pallid sparrow]

Taoism

[merry estuary]

audio warning lol

[pallid sparrow]

true video not cursed

who knew they loved heartstoper back then

[pallid sparrow]

lol

[tawdry girder]

poor france :(

[pallid sparrow]

i ❤️ china

:))

[tawdry girder]

i have noticed

[pallid sparrow]

well jules i love also other countries

but definitely not the us
greetings, werthersorrows

america intrests me because

it could of become something good

hisotyr of america is okay

then proceeded to do everything wrong

just not the country lol

[merry estuary]

I finnaly found thr vids

I'm crying of happiness

[pallid sparrow]

what is the vid?

[merry estuary]

it's 10mn

mb

[pallid sparrow]

sad

[merry estuary]

I also found smth funni

that's the 10mb

[pallid sparrow]

yeah, true

africa is just sad for me

how could we destroy so much there

belgian congo? i'll never forgive

[merry estuary]

and the funni

[pallid sparrow]

so the balls for example? interesting transcommunism is really cool !!!!

..... what am i reading

[pallid sparrow]

did you know

[merry estuary]

The community called history & mappers

[pallid sparrow]

that god in oldaramaic that the jesus used ad his main language is allah?

you can find it in aramaic dictionary

im serious 100%

[merry estuary]

I'm irreligious

[pallid sparrow]

thats why i believe that muslims and christians have to believe in the same god and another argument, jesus is a prophet in islam

[merry estuary]

I couldn't even tell u the first word in a bible

[pallid sparrow]

okay but still history of religion is interesting at least for some people LOL

[tawdry girder]

probably “jesus is my bestie”

[merry estuary]

the only religious history that intrested me were the crusades and league war

[pallid sparrow]

jesus was a nonbinary 100% serious /j

[pallid sparrow]

oh okay

[tawdry girder]

same holy wars are probably only religious stuff i am interested in

[merry estuary]

The dynasty of the nation of provence around 1400 are the descendants of thr kingdom of Jerusalem

[pallid sparrow]

well that's why our society is on the road to collapse.. nobody interested in the whole history, just a comfortable parts of them for someone /hj

[tawdry girder]

or the effects religion has on different parts of the modern society

[pallid sparrow]

and that's great

crusades are also great

[merry estuary]

I don't respect religious beliefs- I respect rhe people who follow them

[pallid sparrow]

but not in my list of best historical things to talk about or learn more tbh

[tawdry girder]

but not like religion in depth more the basic fundamentals

[pallid sparrow]

well this is a history chanell we talk about history not religion i promise

[tawdry girder]

so i can know how it effects the country or people

[pallid sparrow]

yeah and that is still great

very important knowledge]

and fun also

that's for example interesting how india is divided in faith

did you know that the biggest population of muslims by country * lies in india?

[merry estuary]

India has been sunni and Hindu for majority

[pallid sparrow]

i was shocked when i leant this lol

[merry estuary]

there's 3 types of Muslim fates

Faiths

well (that I know off)

[pallid sparrow]

more, they're just the main ones

[merry estuary]

Sunni,Shia and Ibadi

Sunni being the most dominant

[pallid sparrow]

my parents are muslim (yeah werird since im from poland but let's not go into it deeper lol)

[pallid sparrow]

the eu4 knowledge lol

[merry estuary]

shush lol

[pallid sparrow]

hahaha

okay

[merry estuary]

or I will tickle you with the fetishist faith

in eu4

[pallid sparrow]

LOL

[tawdry girder]

wtf

[pallid sparrow]

in eu4

dont worry jules

it was said

in eu4

[merry estuary]

Fettishism is a faith about feet and tickeling

[tawdry girder]

hellenism should be the only religion/j

[pallid sparrow]

definetly true

[tawdry girder]

[pallid sparrow]

hellenism very interesting faith

[merry estuary]

no but fr, it's about feet

[pallid sparrow]

yeah

for sure

[tawdry girder]

noted

[pallid sparrow]

indeed as the british man would say

[merry estuary]

in my opinion, The most fun and best eu4 faith is totemist

[pallid sparrow]

idk i didn't play it in current patches so i can't give you my opinion about it

btw comrades

vicky 2

i love it

vic3? is okay but not the best

[tawdry girder]

ck3 is probably my favourite paradox game

[merry estuary]

I have never touched vic, And im not planning to sewing the disasyer

[tawdry girder]

and cities skyline’s

[pallid sparrow]

why though?

my favourite paradox games are vic2 and eu4, with vic 3 being third on this ranking

hoi4 is okayish

[merry estuary]

I just wanna try ck3. 😔 Or shall I say the real name- Hooking simulator

[tawdry girder]

i have a very strict breeding program for my children in ck3

[pallid sparrow]

ck3 is good for roleplay but idk i want to play it actually not just for roleplay and game lacks content in this i think //correct me if im wrong

[merry estuary]

ur wrong

the basegame is probably one of the most completed paradox basegames

[pallid sparrow]

ok nederland human

i'll try ck3

[merry estuary]

only dissapointing thing is royal Court is locked behind dlc, but otherwise it does lack some content in regions and time eras, But it doesn't lack content

[pallid sparrow]

thanks to you

[merry estuary]

Vlaamse

[pallid sparrow]

okay okay flemish

whatever

i think you should unite

[merry estuary]

[pallid sparrow]

and create benelux empire

this gun cat is so cute i canttttt

[merry estuary]

I'm for a united benelux

[pallid sparrow]

i love these emojis

[merry estuary]

belgiums government is to complex and weir dto possibly ever do it

[pallid sparrow]

yeah i believe you

[pallid sparrow]

[tawdry girder]

dw give them 5 years

[tawdry girder]

and they will still fail

[pallid sparrow]

isnt like that belgoium has already managed to make government

[merry estuary]

*Five years till they break their world record for longest country witouth government again

[pallid sparrow]

because i saw that on wikipedia

[merry estuary]

that's when the timer shall rebegun

[pallid sparrow]

sooo

[merry estuary]

Lmao

[merry estuary]

Belgium broke their own world record in around 2017-18 (I forgot) Longest country witouth a government

Belgium has one of the highest suicidal rates of entire europe

Belgium is one of the most depressed countries of europe

[tawdry girder]

oh god

[merry estuary]

One of the most inflated

Most cultural lacking

(our culture is litteraly a child peeing)

[tawdry girder]

we have the ugliest city in the world

[pallid sparrow]

yeah but right now you managed to get that government

so idk

[merry estuary]

OUR CULTURE. IS A CHILD. PEEING.

[tawdry girder]

nah

[merry estuary]

YES.

[tawdry girder]

we have alot of culture

[pallid sparrow]

https://www.ahs.com/home-matters/resources/the-evolution-of-the-oval-office-decor/

[merry estuary]

since when are ye belgian

[tawdry girder]

alot of traditions in towns mainly

[tawdry girder]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[merry estuary]

Nahg

nahhh

Dan spreek is 1 zin in het vloomsk taal

[pallid sparrow]

i'd vote vooruit

[tawdry girder]

connor rousea 🥴 ❤️

of hoe da ge ook zijn naam schrijft

[merry estuary]

[pallid sparrow]

yeah.. i relate xDDD

[tawdry girder]

i know someone who took a selfie with him

[pallid sparrow]

but that's weird to vote parties based on looks of someone

lol

[merry estuary]

I don't think you've been much in antwerpen,limburg and Brabant to say tha towns have traditions

[pallid sparrow]

are you flemish? if i may ask of course

idk how the belgians are divided primarily by cultures

but i'ts interesting

[tawdry girder]

*by language

[pallid sparrow]

could someone maybe pug explain?

[pallid sparrow]

oh okay sry my bad

[tawdry girder]

french and dutch

[pallid sparrow]

that's why iam asking

about it

[merry estuary]

Belgium is dutxh French and German

Primarily French and dutch

[pallid sparrow]

but culturally united?

[tawdry girder]

german is pretty insignificant

[tawdry girder]

half

[merry estuary]

No not really united

[pallid sparrow]

so why would you say that xdd

[merry estuary]

belgium is litteraly two cultures two languages

[tawdry girder]

because language is the main divider

[merry estuary]

The walloonian, French part. And Flanders, Flemish part

Esentially just like how the union is, Duchy Of Walloonia and Duchy of Flanders

[pallid sparrow]

i ❤️ Vlaanderen

french part? go to france

(it's a joke)

[tawdry girder]

they arent much like the french

[merry estuary]

Both sides depend on each others really

[tawdry girder]

its a hybrid of french and flemish culture, wallonia

[merry estuary]

Flanders bring nearly entire population and economy, While walloonia brings natural resources, And farming industry

[pallid sparrow]

side note: wtf is wrong with nixon. wtf is that orange

[tawdry girder]

the rescources have dried up alot in wallonia tho..

[pallid sparrow]

being belgian must be a hard life

[merry estuary]

walloonia mainly is becoming timber (for what remains) and farm fields lol

[tawdry girder]

alot of it is deep under ground so its way more expensive to get is

[merry estuary]

farm fields and hills

[tawdry girder]

wallonia is very good at tourism tho

[merry estuary]

How?

Charleroi = City of pollution

[pallid sparrow]

i wish to visit Nederland but now i want to visit flanders too

[tawdry girder]

alot of people go camping there

two of our biggest zoos

[merry estuary]

Jules , Camping is primarily tourism from inside the country

[pallid sparrow]

so true

[merry estuary]

Pairi daiza is the odd one out

[pallid sparrow]

in poland it's the same case

nobody goes to camping from outside

it's a typically insider tourism case

[tawdry girder]

thats true but other stuff too

[merry estuary]

and legoland is building a swimming pool in pollutes ground at Charleroi 💀 the only reason it's in walloonia is cause land is cheap there

otherwise it'd been in flanders

[pallid sparrow]

LOL

[tawdry girder]

[pallid sparrow]

yeah wallonia doesnt look rich for me

[tawdry girder]

they were rich but fell off

[pallid sparrow]

i can believe that

[merry estuary]

walloonia doesn't have an economy witouth Flanders nowadays

[pallid sparrow]

that's the case with very much regions

on the world

it happens..

[tawdry girder]

you can see flanders and wallonia as a broken marriage that was never going to work

[merry estuary]

Flanders would have reunited with Netherlands already or atleast had a referendum if the government wasn't such a shithole and complicated

[merry estuary]

It became more and more ye

[tawdry girder]

both sides never liked eachother

[merry estuary]

The union formed thru similar strategic intrests

But now walloonia is easily stepped over by flanders

[tawdry girder]

a union made by french speaking aristocrats

[merry estuary]

you know what's funny

our prime minister doesn't know flemish

or dutch at all

[tawdry girder]

alexander de croo?

[merry estuary]

Oh wait lol, Well the previous one

They didn't know dutch

[tawdry girder]

[merry estuary]

august

[pallid sparrow]

i had enouth of that growing up in my own high school life

[merry estuary]

August is wha is wrong with young royals

[pallid sparrow]

young royals is far frombeing about queer love or happiness. its depresing and i hate it

[merry estuary]

it is actually a lot queer focused but I get what you mean

[pallid sparrow]

compared to say heartstoper

its not as gay

[merry estuary]

your comparing a drama to a joyful experience

[pallid sparrow]

even without heartstoper

i dont think id like young royals

[pallid sparrow]

like i said, went though to much shit in high school myself. i dont need to relive it in a tv-show

[tawdry girder]

:O

[pallid sparrow]

i like hard stories

they're realistic

[merry estuary]

CLOSE YOUR CURTAINS! WE FLEMISH ACTUALLY HAVE CURTAINS COMPARED TO THE DUTCH

[pallid sparrow]

and i believe

that they will unite

i dont want realism, i want escapism

oh okay

fair enough

[tawdry girder]

i have those things that go up and down

[pallid sparrow]

now if young royals has a happy ending then

[tawdry girder]

electric thingy

[merry estuary]

well s2 heartstopper will be realism

[pallid sparrow]

i can't live through escapism, i like depressing myself to the margins of insanity hehe

maybe my mind will change

[pallid sparrow]

[pallid sparrow]

[merry estuary]

it reminds me of a certain favorite hoi4 game

[shy badger]

I also have another meme

That meme was in my history class

Also when I was looking through my camera roll to find it I remembered that we were taught about Watergate in the form of a murder board😂

Man that teacher was awesome

Fun fact she wrote one of my recommendation letters for college

Woops

well idk how to repost it so

[pallid sparrow]

yall have such good memes

[pallid sparrow]

Use it to claim throne

In the history Spain ruled the nwtherlands

In your playthrough

Vice versa

you know what i just realised

skipper is the only active mod in this thread and he trusts us enouth to go on as normal

Lol skipper is the best mod imho, maybe im subjective because i like him (as he presents himself on discord at least because irl he mifht be different)

skipper is great for many a resson

Yeah true

Also he unmuted me once for my srupid mistake of writing something as a quote instead of letting me wait 1h

That is Just great moderation

he knows what he's doing

and has helped me alot

[pallid sparrow]

Yeah i can believe

i dont think he ever checks this thread or maybe he does, idk

[merry estuary]

yk, i have to still get 'pud' and declare independence so i wont have that dynastry to do it

[pallid sparrow]

I doubt that skipper is a fan of map Games but history maybe?

i have no idea tbh

[pallid sparrow]

Yesh I forgot thats unrealistic xD

he's still nice though and understanding which is something i aint used to

[pallid sparrow]

Ohjhh so true

He is cool

Without him id probably left this serwer because i felt like i dont fit in rhere lol

But he explained always so he calmed me down

Hes not a Type of a despotic moderator

[tawdry girder]

sometimes we need someone to keep us in check...

[pallid sparrow]

skipper knows how to keep us in check but be fair about it, ya know

he's never mean on purpose

Hes humanlike because ofc the mods are AI 💀 /s

[tawdry girder]

he does sometimes react to map memes

[pallid sparrow]

he knows how to be human but

skipper knows when to set boundaries, he's smart like that

[tawdry girder]

skipper do you like map games?

[pallid sparrow]

oh hay skipper has randomly appeared

[delicate sierra]

Nope, not really. But I'm reading your thread (every thread in here, tbh), but most of the time I'm just skimming because I trust you guys to behave in here :D

[tawdry girder]

[pallid sparrow]

see, some of us can be trusted not to cause chaos 😂

[tawdry girder]

also almost 2k messages...

its going up so fast

[delicate sierra]

yeah, this thread is the most active one and I'm still amazed haha

[pallid sparrow]

Lol i thought im a chaosmaker because of my lack of social boundaries underdtanding somwtimes, good to see that i can be trusted someTimes

[tawdry girder]

after we took over sports its going so fast

[pallid sparrow]

Yeah as ive said yesterday

i started it to post my work and maybe talk with one or two folks. never did i expect heartstoper to attract so many map/history lovers

Lets make it 10k

Heartstopper community is huge and cool

[merry estuary]

yet im still bad

[pallid sparrow]

to be truthfull

before this serve, i never shared my intrests with anyone because anyone i did. never seemed to care

[pallid sparrow]

You playing burgundy and making France lose? Contratz BTW. Maybe reform burgundy to lothairyngia? Ive tried this playthrough once and it was really cool

[delicate sierra]

you're not problematic at all, on the contrary. I'm glad that you're asking whenever something hasn't been explained well enough or isn't easy to understand for whatever reasons. :)

well, gotta go back, Joe and I have still some work to do! Have fun ❤️

[pallid sparrow]

Well see here you are appreciated :))

[pallid sparrow]

Bye!

[pallid sparrow]

I loved lotharyngia and their ideas... amazing

To reform burgundy into lothairingia was cool for me

[merry estuary]
