"the fuck is happening in ukraine??" for the ignorant [23feb22]

THIS IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE. I have left out happenings. As I typed this more movement was reported. This is happening NOW.

Here is a map of Ukrainian oblasts (regions)

Direct your eyeballs to the eastern (that's on the right of the map) oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. These two oblasts make up the Donets Coal Basin, or Donbas region, of Ukraine. coal coal coal.

Hold them in your mind.

On this map above you can see an outline of the Russian separatist-controlled area of Eastern Ukraine. Please note that the Russian separatist-controlled area is not analogous to the oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. When on 21 February 2022 Putin declared recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) as independent, we did not know if he meant just those cities and the surrounding Russian separatist-controlled areas OR the entirety of the oblasts. Where these borders are is incredibly important because Putin will use any excuse to declare a Ukrainian provocation. This ambiguity is to his advantage. [This is besides the fact that Putin has no fucking right to declare any of this land independent, or take any of it for Russia in the coming days.]

The Russian separatists, of course, claim the entirety of the oblasts, and Putin recognizes those claims. Russia has come to the "aid" of the separatists to defend against Ukrainian "aggression."

Tonight (23 February 2022), President Zelenskyy of Ukraine tried to speak to Putin on the phone, but was rebuffed. He gave a brief update to his people in Ukrainian, and then a long speech to the Russian people in Russian. Below is text of a translation of that speech from Max Seddon on twitter [thread starts here, good follow]:

We are divided by a shared border of more than 2,000 kilometers. Almost 200,000 of your troops and thousands of military vehicles are standing alongside it. Your leadership has ordered them to move forward, onto another country's territory. This step could be the start of a big war on the European continent. The whole world is talking about what could happen any day now. Any provocation. Any flare-up – one that could burn everything.

They're telling you that this flame will liberate the people of Ukraine, but the Ukrainian people are free. They remember their past and are building their future. Ukraine on your TV news and the real Ukraine are two totally different countries. Ours is real.

There is more, click above link to read.

Russia is going to invade Ukraine, and not just the Russian separatist-controlled regions that were recently declared independent republics by Putin. This is colonization. Ukraine has a rich history and culture separate from Russia (its history and culture is MUCH OLDER than that of Russia, even). Putin denies this and claims that Ukraine is Russian. This is false and ahistorical.

(But why are there so many Russian-speakers in Donetsk and Luhansk? Well perhaps because the Soviets committed genocide in the 1930s and purposely starved millions of Ukrainians so that ethnic Russians could move onto their land. Search "Holodomor" if this is new information to you.)

The UN Security Council has called an emergency meeting for 9:30pm EST (I'm posting this at 7:22 PM EST)

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitaly Klitschko, has declared an emergency.

Airports are closed in Eastern Ukraine.

࿐ Nerdjo who subconsciously draws little sketches of you through out his notes and assignments. Frowning at his little creations along his paper when turning it in. (“Ah- uhm wait I forgot to erase something.”)

He never erases the pretty ones.

Nerdjo who calls out your friends as they’re talking behind your back. (“If she’s dumb she’d still be hanging out with you.”)

Nerdjo who sighs when you stick your hand in his snack bag, giggling when you expect him to scold you.

He pushes the bag closer to you.

Nerdjo moping as he finally washes the fabric you’ve left your scent on.

Nerdjo whose eyes widen when you correct an answer on his paper, unsure how to respond to the flush reaching his cheeks as he pushes his glasses up.

Nerdjo who leans over during free period, watching you use social apps he’s never heard of. (“what’s..a tumblr?”)

He was even more intrigued when you hid your phone screen but he brushed it off.

Nerdjo who’s heart flutters as he hears you slip a DnD reference to your friends, silently giggling at the joke your friends raised eyebrows to.

Nerdjo who’s unfazed as ever as you hand him your phone to show him the pigtails and kawaii hairclips you’ve ruined his ghostly hair with.

“Hate em.”

(He wore them the rest of the day.)

Nerdjo who chokes up when his neighbor, Megumi shows up asking who’s the girl taking up their Pokémon trading time. (“since when did girls like you?”)

Nerdjo letting out a breath he didn’t know he was holding, as he stood behind you, helping you put on a necklace you definitely could’ve put on yourself.

Immediately turning his head to anything else in the room as you ask him if it looks good, the amulet sitting right inbetween your cleavage. (“Yeah- yea.”) (“you didn’t even look.”)

Part one || Part two || Part three

jake as an ib student — a quick headcannon

a/n: look, i know i said i wouldn't make reactions/headcannons and stick to fics but as a former ib kid (2020 cohort woot woot) i feel like i have every right to talk about this. anyway enjoy lovelies <33 also @hyuckworld we talked about aerospace engineering jake and now i can't get this entire thing out of my head ;-;

warnings: lowercase and bullet points; mentions of food

mfer is smart he'd def take 4 HLs

HLs: maths, physics, chemistry, english

SLs: korean for second language (group 2), economics for humanities (group 3)

trust me, every stem kid i knew took economics as their group 3

also, every international school kid is obliged to take an english hl course. like, the only sls i knew were fresh off the boat (fobs)

definitely would use his hls to apply for oxbridge/ivys because he probably has the money to pay for the tuition

if not, then he'd work towards doing co-op engineering at unsw or umelb

alice headcannoned him as an aerospace engineering guy but i see him more towards civ eng or mech eng

either way engineering is the goal for jake, and his subjects perfectly align for him to get into his desired program

now, let's talk about his study ethic

surprisingly, he's not a procrastinator

idk he was very hardworking in i-land, and as relatable as he can be, i just don't see him as someone who leaves work last minute

trust me i’m an s tier procrastinator so i would know

anyway, jake would be one of those kids who actually does their work one step at a time

i also feel like he has a good balance between maintaining a social life and studying, but when exam szn or ia szn comes he just... disappears

he'd definitely be the type of guy to email the teacher for a meeting to check his ia and reports

would probably (most likely) stay after school to finish his ias since he's a stem kid

like, trust me i took chem sl and even i had to stay after school to finish my goddamn ia labs it was absolute torture

out of all the subjects he takes i feel like he'd whine about economics a lot

would surprisingly do well in english, because i can see him as a bit of a reader

like, he'd obviously not pay attention in school but once he goes home he'd just go like "hey king lear is actually really interesting"

his extended essay would definitely be about physics

idk he'd probably go a bit nuts on the research and do smth like airplane design or the brachistochrone problem

i mean, ngl every boy always has that airplane phase and if we're going with the aerodynamics route he'd probably look into a lot of that !!

i can see him lurking on the ib disc or ib reddit, constantly shitposting memes to cope with the workload or panic about his uni applications

for uni apps, i'd say he's mid. by this i mean he won't apply too early, but he also won't apply too late

there's a certain indecisive factor about which school he'd want to go to, and i feel like because he's such a family guy he'd want to stay in aus for a bit before branching out and going abroad

however, considering how he took the bold move to train in korea with a meager grasp of the language, i can also see him going to the uk/us right after he graduates the diploma program

hAbiTat foR hUmaNiTy

speaking of cas (creativity, action, service), he would probably struggle to find enough activities to get credit because his academic workload is just too much

like, we're talking about the stem kid taking 4hls of course he'd not have time to do extracurriculars

for action, he'd continue with the soccer club and i kinda see him doing swimming

creativity is his worst category. i'm sorry i really don't see jake as a creative guy

when i did the ib, it was the other way around and i had too many creative projects (photoshoots, editorials, short films for advertising, etc)

with jake, i think he'd do just fine with being part of the string section in his school orchestra

other than that i really don't see him doing anything artistic

for service i can see him volunteering a lot for dog shelters like cmon

of course, every ib kid has to be a part of h4h, and i can see him taking the trip to vietnam/cambodia/wherever to build a house he'd forget about

he'd probably bs something like "this experience falls in line with my career path because i want to be an engineer in the future. building houses allowed me to demonstrate my skills in maths and physics, and the hands-on experience with construction work made me learn about the importance of the subjects i'm taking."

he would also tutor kiddies on math and science!! that's like, the easiest way to gain service points!!

his portfolio would be shit but hey he'd definitely get more than enough cas credits to graduate and keep his pg

now that we got the basics out of the way let's dive a bit into tok

he would hate tok

this is the one class (apart from econ or Korean) where he'd just... sleep

let the melatonin take over and catch up on the zzzs he missed because he had to write up like three ias in one week

we're talking about maths, physics, and chemistry reports!! yikes jakey....

obviously the teacher would get mad all the time and pick on him

but because he's smart he'd usually give a general, correct answer and then go back to take his nap

nonetheless i feel like his tok score would bring down both is pg and his final grade

like he wouldn't do terrible at it, he'd just do decent enough

like say, a b

i feel like his tok essay would be better than his presentation because have you seen his belift audition video?? man is a nervous wreck before getting the idol training and ego boost /j

he'd be a stuttering mess in his tok presentation and his groupmates would have to cover up and answer the questions, which would further bring his score down

his tok essay would be really interesting though, like he'd def write something about ethics in science or aritifcial intelligence and sentience

doesn't show it but can get really existential in his essay

alright now let's talk about his pg

40+

that's it

this kid is smart and a hard worker, and i feel like the inner east asian in him would sigma grind his way into getting past the 40 cutoff

would definitely panic after his pg goes down for a bit and go straight to the diploma coordinator like "WTF WHY IS MY PG A 38 NOW?!?!??!??!"

would probably end up getting a 41 final but bc it's the ib i honestly don't know

if jake gets lucky with a nice marker he might get upwards to a 42/43

but anyway tok would screw up his mark and he'd under up with a solid 40 or 41 i'd say

now that we got the grades away let's talk about jake as a classmate

solid group of friends taking a variety of subjects

i feel like he's the type to make more friends outside of his discipline

like, he'd have a few people he's tight with in physics, and then most of them would either be in bizman or glopol

i reckon he'd have a few friends taking art just so he can chill in the art room

overall a very friendly person despite the stress

100% shitposts memes as a cope

would definitely stalk his physics teacher on instagram and keep in touch after he graduates

i can also see him as the guy who lightens up the mood in every class, cracking jokes with the teacher or showing the bare minimum levels of enthusiasm to keep the class from turning into a zoom lecture void with 0 cameras on

like, he'd try his best to raise his hand and engage at least once, then shuts up the entire class

double period jake is where we see him go from 100 to 0

like, imagine double period physics and double period chem? yikes.......

like, he'd be so energetic then he'd just sleep after an hour

anyway because of this i feel like some of his teachers would allow him to bring snacks to class

like, say if his physics or maths class is right after recess, he'd rush to the canteen to buy food and eat them during class

he'd def be the type of guy to bring his wholeass laptop to lunch, typing up his ia while eating

ia szn also means jake spends his entire lunch breaks in physics/chem classrooms to finish up his ias

i feel like he'd be a teacher's pet

like who can hate him

i just can't see him as an asshole

he'd probably be the classmate who says "we're all gonna go to hell anyway!" when mock exams come up

like he's that kind of funny, yet wholesome person that makes you instantly feel better even though you know damn well that your pg is going down down down

he's the student that creates the inside jokes of the class

like, he's that much of a trendsetter

probably saw a mascot during one of his econ trips to the bank and started dancing with it, so now, everyone does the dance that jake did

he'd also be very supportive in class

by supportive i mean typing up notes and handing them to people who were absent by sending them emails of it

at the end he'd always have a meme or two

i don't think he'd run for student council, but his class would probably nominate him as class rep

ofc he'd turn down and say "guys i'm really busy"

which, ofc, understandable. 4hls + stem is rly hard to manage as a teenager

i have a good feeling he might be salutatorian

but hey, who knows?

anyway i think i've covered enough about jake being in the ib

tldr: he's a nice, hardworking stem kid who stresses out over his pgs and makes photoshopped memes of his teachers

the end!!

mortal sin // nct dream

prologue; looking back 

masterlist

words: 2.2k

warnings: graphic violence, character death, torture(?)

preface: I’m really excited for this series. Yes taeyong is the picture, but this isn’t a Taeyong fic. You’ll understand when you read, I just wanted to provide a visual for what he’s supposed to look like.

I remember feeling so giddy when my mom took me to the pop up flea market. Every year I’d breath in the smell of various spices and produce. My dad would sneak me carrot cupcakes even after mom said no. I associated this area with the taste of sugary icing and the potent smell of cinnamon.

All those memories are tainted with blood and mortal fear. I race through the marketplace, shoving pedestrians out of the way. I ignore the outcries of confusion and shock as my body crashes into theirs. The path before me seems endless with a sea of people only slowing me down. Against my better judgement, I look behind me.

Seven years ago Mun may have become an orphan, but this kid managed to not only have one set of parents in his childhood besties but he’s also gained another set of parents in Mo Tak and Mae Ok. Not even accounting for his two grandparents and then another sugar daddy grandpa Jang Mool. Plus an older sibling figure in Ha Na… 

Basically Mun may have lost his parents but he essentially got himself a new [found] family that loves him and are willing to go to bat for him and I really love that about this show!
