I really want to talk about how military family’s are treated. So first of all there are ALOT of stereotypes about soldiers, people who literally serve and put their lives at risk for our countries, for example All of them are poor. When schools find out that a child is from a military family they automatically put them down as a child who needs help buying things such as revision materials, school trip fees etc. At first glance this is a good thing right? But from experience, yes it’s good to get free stuff obviously however it’s extremely frustrating and embarrassing to both the actual family member who is in the army (my dad) and the child (me) because people think that you’re broke when your not.

Another thing is how do they know your parents wages, they assume that your military family member is just a little soldier who shoots guns when in reality there are a lot of different ranks that changes your wages for all they know they could be a captain. In general people who aren’t in a military family just do not care how they talk about the military and I think it needs to be talked about more, more children and teenagers need to be more respectful when talking about military and schools and government need to stop making military family’s into some poor helpless families who can’t pay for anything it’s insulting.

I’m saying this because of a situation that happened where dad asked me about revision sources and where he had to pay for them and so I asked my teacher and she told me I was a “premium kid” meaning I didn’t have to pay and it was because my dad was is a veteran and they didn’t even tell us. 🤭🤭

His tombstone, meant to be a memorial to all gay veterans, does not bear his name. It reads, "When I was in the military, they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one."

My saying ‘stuff this for a game of soldiers’ on a regular basis about my revision may be seen in a new light after yesterday’s talk by the army recruitment officers.

Unfortunately, during this talk I discovered that the uniform no longer looks like this:

and to be honest my attention (fleeting already) waned considerably at this revelation.

Fin here- i need to ask question about the TATMR horror story, Edward's Requiem, and the Tidmouth Train to Hell because what why and when i need answers-

(yes i got a tumblr. Do I know how to use it? No. But challenges must be face in pursuit of answers)

Alright! So I have already done an answer for 'Edward; A Requiem in Steam', which I will link if I can figure it out. (If not, it's in my posts), and the Tidmouth Train to Hell is a little more vague - but I can give a full answer for the TATMR Horror Story!

So, it's less directly TATMR related, and more based off Diesel 10 and Lady, and the true story behind Diesel 10's modifications. Let's just say it's... grim.

'He awoke to men rummaging about in his cab, slowly taking off his panelling and inspecting every inch of his system. “He’s an interesting one, that’s for sure,” one said. “Look – his wiring doesn’t seem to be normal after a point.” He pulled at the wire, and D801 yelped. “It’s almost like nerves! Steamers don’t have this… and neither did the other diesels.” D801 wanted the strange men out of his engine room, but he was powerless to stop them. Thankfully, the men did not mess with his internal engine any more, screwing the covers back into place after gently cleaning and repairing everything. D801 felt… good.

Then, they broke out the paint pots. They sprayed him a Military desert camouflage, with the number ‘10’ sprayed onto his cab sides. “From now on, you are Project 10, understood?” one of the men said. It was not a question. “Yes sir,” Project 10 stammered. The other engines watched, unblinking. Project 10 could feel their eyes boring into him. In the light, he could see what the Army had done to them clearly. The eldest had once been a regal blue – he could see where the Army’s paint had peeled off her, leaving the patches of blue clearly visible in the sunlight.

She wore an eyepatch, and her copper chimney had been long replaced by a much larger funnel. She had ‘Project 1’ sprayed on her tender… and pieces missing. Pieces missing all over her. Her cab had been removed, her wheel-arches were gone. There were places where Project 10 could see her boiler tubes – where he could see the innermost workings of a steam engine. She was the only one who didn’t stare, instead she kept her one visible eye closed.'

Yeah... this is the least gruesome part I could find of what I've written. Certainly not for kids, and also a project I stuck on the backburner for a bit while I am focusing on getting my ERS series completed.

referring to the last posts:

Don't the army's higher ups (especially the generals who are supposed to have a strategic mindset) understand that war and conquest need immense prior preparations? The logistics are a nightmare for the administration and Sakhaav needed to expand their influence further in the politics of the realm before even thinking of retaking the lost territories. If the military generals are on Dehyjr's level of ignorance and depravity than it isn't only our dear old consort thst needs to be punished,it's them too.

Quite a few heads will be rolling down it seems when MC returns😑

On one hand, they are aware of the immense effort a war takes. On the other, some of them just want to see the world burn. Let's say that because of the rampant corruption in the army (especially during the Queen's reign), some generals are people who should have never been put in charge.

Some heads will be rolling down indeed...

A Guide to the OCs of Leda Verse (mostly for my own amusement because I was trained to make reference tools) presented in order of appearance (with ratings because why not)

Blue Toby- The guy Eddy took out with a crowbar and still limps to this day. Gets a few mentions throughout. (1/10, never appears on screen, but is probably a dick).

The Terrible Roommate- Lucius' unnamed roommate and ex, who became the not fun kind of drug dealer. (1/10, very awful and did not earn a name. But did help Lucius and Pete move in together.)

The Barista, Who Knows What He Did - Jim's unseen nemesis. (10/10, I love this joke unreasonably and no, we will never know what he did. HE KNOWS.)

Craft Lady at the Folk Festival- Trying to flirt unsuccessfully with Oluwande while Jim gets a drink. (2/10, based on an actual encounter at a festival, very annoying, but points for helping along the conversation. No name earned.)

Dolly Boodhari- Oluwande's mom, collector of many things, and all around sweetheart. (9/10, would be a 10, but sometimes her existence makes Jim a little sad which is not her fault and yet...)

Ada Boodhari- Oluwande's oldest sister who works in finance, has a crappy boss, now has Sweeney's sister as a pet, and collects bee themed items. (10/10, get a sister-in-law who will paint a room with you)

Zuri Boodhari- Oluwande's older, but not oldest sister. Married to Mark and has two kids, does medical billing. (5/10, not yet developed, but she's filling out the space along with her family, thank you for your service Zuri.)

The Boy Who Tried to Make Alma Kiss a Worm - Miserable little shit that causes Eddy to instruct Alma in the fine art of punching your problems away. Returns un-credited as the asshole making fun of Ingrid. (-1/10 for obvious reasons.)

Carnival Owner- Waxed mustache, too much cologne and a racist prick. John and Pete blow up his spot by literally blowing up his caravan. (-5/10, will never earn a name, terrible person, moved the action along, but at what cost?)

Zipper- Buttons' former lover, who left him for a younger man and crops back up to be a dick on their road trip. Smells like stale cigarettes. (1/10, good pun name, awful person. Good day, sir...I said good day! )

Sympathtic Woman with Cat Ears and Tight Corset at the Ren Faire- Listen, she appeared for one line, does not speak, but she gives Izzy an understanding look over his jealousy issue and I bet she's got a great backstory. In fact, I'm going to give her a name right now: Peony Lane. (4/10, too brief to go higher, but a good 'un).

The Lady Blacksmith- Sharpens Izzy's knife at the Ren Faire and has amazing biceps. Might make another brief appearance, so I will withhold naming her here, but she deserves one. (4/0, same as above.)

Jonah Hands- Izzy's older brother, deceased. Mentioned several times in passing and described as a violent charismatic guy that likes Johnny Cash. Will likely crop up again at some point. (4/10, don't want to hang, but I am curious about him.)

Faith Callahan - She's got her own story, spin off aus etc, doesn't really need her own summary here. (9/10, point deducted for being dead.)

Beth-Faith's lukewarm friend, who does attempt to get closer, but only when Faith gets into the same classes again. (3/10, make an effort, come on.)

Brittany Cartwright- Faith's former friend turned bully because she had some repressed feelings to work out. Returns as an grown up guidance counselor at Charlie and Alma's school, married to the English teacher. (7/10, gets a whole unseen redemption arc, but the unseen makes it hard to get fully on board).

Brandon- Proto-Eddy for Izzy, does not do the job very well and is forgotten about as soon as Izzy leaves school. (1/10, he's a menace and does not get a redemption arc.)

Faith's Parents- Bad all around. Abusive, cold, and basically killed her. (-1/10)

Delilah 'Delly' Norris nee Hands- Izzy's younger sister, described as a gremlin until Izzy reconciles with her later. Generally irritable and exhausted because she has a toddler and the Hands genetics. (8/10, another off screen arc that probably won't get pulled into focus, but she's doing the most she can with what she was given and didn't need to kill anyone to get there, Izzy.)

Sweeney- Izzy's cat. Furry knife pile (11/10 cause kitten.)

Ingrid Watts- Alma's first and best friend. Shy, bullied, but comes out of her shell to become a kickass vocalist. Loves vintage punk. (9/10, first real fully conceived OC of the series, actually. In that she has an entire personality and hangs out in and out of the story for the rest of the series.)

Owen Grant- Alma's second friend, desperately wants a band, keeps the band going and when the band finally dies, will probably start another band. Has dated Ingrid on and off for years, briefly dated Alma and Shawna too. (7/10, want to flush him out more, but his day has not yet arrived).

Felix Cardosa- Alma's first boyfriend...also Charlie's first boyfriend! Star pitcher, devoted lover, and apparently Bonnet catnip. (9/10 one point deducted for bagging siblings without remorse, c'mon man.)

Aaron Hands- Izzy's younger brother, missionary and all around misogynistic jerk. (1/10, awful.)

Thomas Norris- Delly's husband, fire fighter, appears to be a decent father and husband. (5/10, enigma, but seems fine.)

Deborah, Rachel and Leah- Izzy's squad of cousins that move as a unit. (5/10, perfectly cromulent humans)

Saul 'Da' Hands- Izzy's father. Abusive twatwaffle. (-1/10, necessary to the plot, but unnecessary to the world)

Thomas Norris- Delly's husband, fire fighter, appears to be a decent father and husband. (5/10, enigma, but seems fine.)

Dylan 'Pickle' Norris- Izzy's niece and personality is mostly 'toddler' at the moment. (8/10 cause she comes in like a wrecking ball).

Shelia Kissamee- Unseen drag queen, who tattles about the Swede's summer adventures, but it works out. (4/10, don't rat out the Swede, even if it worked out!

Rita Zebrowski- Read's unofficial foster mother, kicked Read out of the house when Read turned on the gang, but has since tried to rebuild the relationship (5/10, that's a big hurt to come back from, but Read is a very forgiving person.)

Alex 'Zee' Zeborwski- Rita's ex-husband and slightly better than the rest of Read's former gang, but still not great. (2/10)

Jacob Lewis - Real estate agent and charismatic head of Read's former gang. Sadist. (-1/10, inveigling kids in your evil scheme? You get to hang out with Hornigold in hell)

The Ballet Teacher- Brief moment, but big impact on Read's life. (5/10, really mostly just selling her class, but the outcome was good)

Amir Shariq- Charlie's best friend, room mate and once fling. A great swimmer in his own right, pre-med student, supportive and class A dude. (10/10, did not plan for him and he really grew throughout the writing in to a fun, complete person, definitely will appear around the edges of other stories)

David 'Coach' Hoffman- Has coached college swim for twenty years and knows Charlie has a lot of potential. Hates the football coach. (7/10, watching out for the guys, but kind of gruff about it. which Charlie likes for Charlie reasons.)

Chase- Swim teammate of Charlie's, freshman. Well meaning, but easily confused. (4/10, will buy anything)

Phillip Toulouse- Rival swimmer, apparently an asshole. I don't actually know anything about him, but he seems like a tool (2/10, do better, sir.)

(@ your latest post at icepicklore) do you know why would the first two mentions of skerries you listed in russian refer to a singular skerry but the last one says "battle under the skerries" (plural)?

oh interesting I didn't catch that! not sure why (it's all so ambiguous...), but that sounds like it'd also support this being a location where one single skerry among many was the site of a battle
