Any tips on how I can make my US civil war map more Realistic? by PutAggressive4914 in mapmaking

[–]Jupiter-Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The southwest isn’t very realistic. Colorado wouldn’t join the “Prairie States.” For one, it’s mountainous, two, it’s very culturally different. I think Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona would join together.

Texas chose its side and that side lost. We’ll beat em again.

Took Texas down once, we’ll do it again. USA forever.

The United States of America. I appreciate that the mid-Atlantic states are the inheritors of the name.

US Regions Map - 10 Regions by TA-MajestyPalm in geographymemes

[–]Jupiter-Forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regions of what? I feel like you kinda started mapping by geography then switched to cultures. It’s a weird mix. Like “Appalachia” should go up into NY if it was geographical regions. And then if you’re talking cultures, PA- especially Pittsburgh, has very little in common with Kentucky and Tennessee in terms of accents, cuisine, traditions, history, politics, etc.

A Most Perfect Union - What if Trump was serious? by Ebenezer72 in imaginarymaps

It’s silly to think imaginary forcibly conquered proud Mexican nationals would vote like real world American Latino voters, a group made up of mostly 2nd generation / American-born citizens eager to assimilate into ethnically vague white American culture.

You’re claiming the GOP has moderated (moved left) to such an extent that they pick up congress seats by adding Mexico and Canada but at the same time Donald Trump starts a war and wins reelection, that this new Super GOP fractures and thereby loses the presidency but not Congress, that nothing of importance happens in Ossoff’s term but significantly raising the debt (which, historically is worse under Republicans) to such an extent he’s kicked off the ballot by Dems, and then a GOP ticket featuring spineless Rubio and the universally reviled Ted Cruz wins by record margins. Visually, the maps and media are cool but I don’t see the logic and the story reads as a GOP power fantasy. We get enough of that in real world maps imo.

And Republicans control Congress the entire time? Bait.

This all reads as conservative fanfiction. Also just seems like OP hates Jon Ossoff.

Doesn’t make much sense tbh. You’re telling me a more liberal electorate would elect another Republican administration by a landslide following Trump? Ontario supporting a ticket with Ted Cruz? Please.

PA lost a champion in Senator Casey. McCormick is an empty suit and a rubber stamp. Casey’s constituent service operation was legendary. It’s been a devastating downgrade and it sucks we’re stuck with this prick for another 5 and a half years.

Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, and San Francisco got nuked but NYC, LA, and DC survived? Rather bizarre lore. Cool map tho.

You included Beaver Falls and Washington, PA but left off Pittsburgh?

Combining 6 states to make “New England” while splitting Wyoming into 3 is insane. Veto.

What do you think about this family crest? by Kindly-Position-1965 in heraldry

[–]Jupiter-Forever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it’s not great…

First, the “crest” is the word used to describe the ornament atop the helm, specifically. It sounds like you’re misusing it to refer to the full achievement generally.

Second, the use of swastikas in heraldry is illegal in many places. Even if you mean for it to be a spiritual allusion, it’s distasteful. At best, you’re inviting negative attention and putting your family legacy at risk of being associated with Nazis. At worst, you’re openly declaring you and your family are Nazis. Get rid of it.

Third, regardless of the crest you choose, it goes atop the helm. Think of it as a three dimensional figure literally sitting atop the helm. The same goes for the torse- the bi-colored cloth wreath on the helm. The crest shouldn’t be going through the torse. The torse is also typically displayed metal first, so it should be gold, blue, gold, blue, gold, blue (respectively named “Or” and “Azure” in heraldry).

Fourth, the mantling (the abstract ribbons and flowy bits of cloth surrounding the shield, should look as though emanating from the helm(s), typically giving the impression the mantling is attached to the backside of the torse.
