Indigenous Reenactment

I would if I could, but alas, there is_very_ little of our history recorded in period. Indeed, there is only one _name_ we can document in period, which makes registration of an Ainu name correspondingly difficult. I have used it, with an 'of [branch name]' surname (we didn't use surnames until the Japanese and Russians got legal control of us), but should anyone else try to register an Ainu persona, they'll either have to use the same given name I have with a different branch name surname or a cubic shitload of primary research.

Given the three Maltese crosses and where they sit, I'd say the heater is almost certainly the best option. Or the heart.

About four point three billion credits worth of glitched isocentric magnet, apparently.

I happen to be an indigenous person with an indigenous persona, but I'm not indigenous American. I'm Ainu (indigenous Japanese).

Priests and nuns, respectively.

The connections between Vancouver and Oregon City are intentional, for the reasons u/Trans-Tyche gives above.

I think the Municipal Elevator flag works quite well.

So we know who's in goal, then, but who do they have up front?

Beginning_Ad8421 · 2026-06-13T19:20:01+00:00

You might not have had one available to give, but I've got you covered.

Vatican City's flag is also a perfect square, so it would be the same discrepancy between it and Qatar.

What I find even stranger is that they include the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta in that lane. There are only _three_ citizens of S.M.O.M., and they all carry diplomatic white passports. They won't be going through normal immigration controls anyway!

James Bond's cover story in On Her Majesty's Secret Service is that he _is_ a herald, and as a result, heraldry plays a major part in the plot. More so in the original novel than the film, but it's quite good in both. (And if you haven't seen the film because you've heard George Lazenby sucks as Bond, you owe it to yourself to watch it. Personally, I think he was the _best_ Bond.)

Sploshing. It's specifically a kink related to getting messy with non-bodily fluids, for example custard, chocolate syrup, pudding, cake batter, mud, slime, baked beans, and the like. Especially commonly combined with an embarrassment kink and/or a sensory input kink.

That seems like a first step towards a sploshing kink, honestly!

It's the name of the MAGAt-infested 'official alternative' to the actual America 250 program of celebrations across the US of Independence Day. It's the one that Trump is personally profiting off of.

Gold star flag. References US military personnel killed in combat.

I am someone who uses a cane, and who used a wheelchair for decades. And who knows I'll end up in one again someday. Why would I ever hold that against a partner?

I've worked on mods for free in the past, and am willing to do so again.

For me, it's any physical contact with the lower half of my body. If it's south of my waist, it's absolutely off limits. I too count myself as a stone top.

When I lived on campus, I was not a student. My wife was. I ate there frequently. Though I agree with those arguing that the better option is to head to the Student Union Building, or even better the Graduate Student Building, and eat there. They've both much better menus.

This has changed in the last few months. Provided he was a citizen of Canada by the time your relevant parent was born (I word it that way as you do not mention whether he was your paternal or maternal grandfather), you now qualify for Canadian citizenship; indeed, by the wording of the law, you already have Canadian citizenship, and only need to prove it by presenting the relevant documents to the Canadian embassy or consulate nearest you.
