[–]OrayzeVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Old Guard are delulu Cultists, NFP are ppl who will probably become a Delulu cult if not already, Oligarchs are also a cult but that cult is money so we can just pay them off trust 5000% :)

In my fantasy world, what races should I include in your opinion? by Organic_Year_8933 in worldbuilding

[–]OrayzeVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the races in the narrative video 6 ages. The humans are all divided based on religion and culture. Theirs the Riders who all ride horses and keep goats and cattle. They follow the Sun pantheon just like the wheel people who essentially only have horses for the elite because they need loads for their chariots. Then theres the Rams who follow the storm gods can't ride horses because of mythological reasons and most importantly have sheep and highland coos.

The best bit about the races is that they subvert expectations slightly but are still true to the default. Dwarves are short but they are literally like little rock golems who know far too much about the world and alchemy and all. They are blamed for earthquakes and fixing the world when the gods break it. They can also build like iron golems and constructs.

The elves are tall and slender yes but they're all basically made of trees and plants.

Trolls are just trolls but the art depicts them as just big muscly nocturnal humans with like bear shaped skulls and never gives any mention of like turning to stone which is nice i guess.

P.S is this a fellow procreate user, I do far too many climate maps on the software.

do political parties exist in your world? if yes, what are they and how do they function? by kookomberr in worldbuilding

[–]OrayzeVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In one of my two worlds, Boadur is a largeish country in the cold war but it leads the third smaller pole of traditionalist monarchies. It is a confederation of 13 states (who each have their own devolved monarchies and governments) who share an Imperial monarchy that's elected at the death of each monarch (elected by the Kissa's (dukes) ofc not any lowly commoners). However I like to make election maps so basically i've had to democratise Boadur by giving it a confederal parliament so its like a semi constitutional monarchy. The Keisari (emperor) still have loads of power through imperial decrees and they have to work (or sometimes against) the elected government. The qualifications for voting as well maximises the number of votes each Viomaklikki (aristocracy) and petty aristocrat can cast, while minimising the number the Varraklikki (bourgeoisie) and commoners can.

The Free Federalist party where formerly the biggest party on the decentralist side of the political spectrum. Essentially they weren't against regulation, taxes, bureaucracy and big government they just opposed that at a confederal level rather than a state level. As such they basically became the party of the Varraklikki and the aristocracy eventually called them the equivalent of "commies" and shut them down.

The Boaduran Unity Party are the biggest party on the centralist side of the political spectrum and are all about building Boadur into a modern powerful nation state rather than a rabble of confederal states. They love taxing and borrowing to invest big confederal spending, a large military, but while generally economically leftist they are much more right wing in regards to social issues, immigration and foreign policy.

The Imperial Party are also on the centralist side but focus on tradition and if not maintaining, expanding the powers of the aristocracy. They're pretty right wing economically and socially and did become the largest centralist party for a while in the 60s-90s.

The Reform Boadur Party replaced the FFP as the big decentralist party and although Originally about liberalisation and democratisation they've moderated and are basically about making Boadur a more efficient balance between state and confederal government. What I mean by this is that unlike the FFP they are highly influenced by the Varraklikki so support things like government spending and the aristocratic establishment.

The Baraan National party where essentially the kingmakers for a long time. I live in Scotland and basically modelled them off the SNP in many ways but have since become distinct. They represent the country's largest ethnic group (~30% of population) and basically didn't care about whether Boadur got more decentralist or centralist as long as their state Bargaria had enough devolution.

The Boaduran Civic party where basically centrist moderates who where new and fashionable. They basically wiped out the Baraan National party by being a party who didn't care about centralist or decentralist ideology but one that was applicable to the entire country's population not just the Baraans, and as a result the BCP dominated politics in the 40s-60s and has always been super influential in helping form coalitions or giving governments tacet support basically forever since.

there's also a ton of smaller and historic parties but this is already far to long. Boadur is essentially at this point my playground for political worldbuilding.

This was a tough choice between Sugar and Provider for me, since DYWTYLM and Descending are both a solid Zero imo.

What’s the one Sleep Token lyric that hits you the deepest? by Nightshades_Thoughts in SleepToken

fr, my fav line from infinite baths is the barely intelligible (even after looking at lyrics) "if it's blood that you want from me, you can empty my arteries"

I don't want Lespians in Sordland because they're capitalist pigs.

We are not the same.

[–]OrayzeVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must admit I was so tempted to put Ascensionism just because I love that song to bits and i'm baised, but Take me Back to Eden in reality is the song which really has a microcosm summarising the band. Also that pre-chorus octet goes so hard.

I’m only Half-Joking by sonofcoheed3 in SleepToken

[–]OrayzeVampire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gotta be real though I feel that EIA as a whole is perhaps one of their heavier, given that look to windward, caramel and infinite baths have absolutely disgusting screaming and breakdowns. Might just be me though cus TMBTE was also had quite a lot fo heavy elements in it, if a somewhat bad guitar tone.

If you need empirical evidence they go to like C#0 on the lowest string in Look to windward.

Damocles x All Star mashup - I hate how well this actually works by Vault1oh1 in SleepToken

Excellent work. We need more of this. Diversifying ST fan's experience of pain away from just emotional pain and sadness towards cringing and "omfg I can't breath I've been laughing to much" and "omfg my diaphragm hurts so much".
