This Week in Prophecy: Russia & Ukraine, Iran & Turkey, Mauna Loa, Dutch Farmers, Digital Currencies, China

On This Week in Prophecy… We have an operational update on the happenings in Ukraine. Russia is struggling to make gains. Ukraine continues to push the Russians out of their country.

Winter is beginning to…

regional hanfu styles?

i've always wondered if hanfu ever varied from region to region? what i've seen so far on hanfu makes it look like everyone wore the same styles across china but that seems so strange since most of chinese culture is very regional. so are there region specific hanfu styles or is hanfu really that general?

Hi!

It totally did historically. The further away a region from the centre of fashion (e.g. the capital) was, the more behind the fashion the region was. Usually the distinctions could be found in embroidery style, cut, length etc. I read that sometimes it could be a couple decades behind, especially in times of unrest and wars. A more recent example could be seen in Chinese diaspora in the late Qing, e.g. a Vancouver Chinese tend to dress in an older style then like say, Shanghai. Also last year a local hanfu tailor shop was submitted to a weibo tea account because it is too pricey for its old-school out-of-fashion products. (They do occasionally have some more "up-to-date" hanfu.) On the other hand, sometimes the royals would want to keep a look of "plain and simple", like in Ming dynasty, the fashion inside the Imperial Palace was lagging behind. When the clothing length and sleeves sizes increased in the South (Jiangnan area), the clothing inside the palace was kept shorter and fitter.

Modernly, since a lot of hanfu community is online, the distinction isn't as obvious, especially when most people buy hanfu online. There are distinction in materials and layering mostly due to the local climate, e.g. Guangzhou residents (in the south of China) might still be wearing a thin ao, while people in Beijing will have worn layers of wool, fur or dawn. Sometimes local communities of hanfu-ers would have a certain styles (either because there is a popular fashion icon in the group or they tend to bulk purchase from the same shop), but I usually can't tell them apart unless I am familiar with said group.

As someone who grew up going to sleepover camp every summer and continues to work there now, I really hope we get to see more of the kids at camp half-blood hanging out and doing camp activities together.

Like show me the older Apollo kids teaching their new siblings how to shoot.

Show me an Ares kid trading 3 candy bars and a 6 pack of pop for a new sword from the Hephaestus cabin.

Show me 13 year old daughters of Aphrodite running MASH for all the other girls in camp.

There’s is nothing quite like tweens and teens living together in close proximity and it is the most entertaining thing in the world.

[transfaguette]

I'm not saying this is a Good Take but i can't help but feel bitter about otherwise abled people now experiencing chronic fatigue after covid. which I'm not saying is their fault, or they deserve it, or they're less disabled than me, but what I will say is it's annoying and hurtful and aggravating to have a condition that was not taken seriously, mocked, and written off until otherwise notable abled people started getting it. Oh no, what a dilemma, our previously Good Abled People are now sick, nevermind the people I demeaned and did not care for who had the condition previously.

Hc that Wills normal body temperature Is like around 38°C and Nicos is around 32°C.

During winter Will can go out with just a swearshirt and maybe one very light jacket if its really cold. Nico? Oh Nico had to get specialized in layering to not die of hypotermia. He has to wear 2 shirts, one sweater and over it a sweatshirt, a warm jacket, a wool hat, gloves, a scarf. He needs to wear one to three pairs of socks to not have freezed feets. His cabin has everything you can think of to make him warm (blankets, heat pads, a whole fireplace, blankets, heaters everywhere, blankets and did i mention blankets?) but outside Is HELL.

Nico hates summer but he has to admitt that its the only time he doesnt risk to die everytime he puts a feet out of his cabin. During the hot, hot days hes able to even wear a tank top, and knee-lenght jeans. Will loves summer, really. He loves the sun, the blue and clear skies, the long days, going to the beach, having bonfires there... What he doesnt love? The heat. He Is constantly sweating like crazy, and has to always bring a little fan around. Lunchtime Is the worst. He has to sit there, still, for like an half an hour, when there are like 30°+C. He really dies. Has to drink seven bottles of water an hour to function decently. Hes always either at the beach, in the water, or in the infirmary, that he equipped with thousands of fans. Theres one of Wills sweatshirts hanging from a coat hanger for when Nico visits him.

Covid time wasnt fun. They could go everywhere and not get accepted in first because of Wills temperature, and second because of Nicos. Everyone was always so confused, they bought that thermometer just yesterday, how was it already broken? Because It had to be broken, there was no way someone with a temperature of 30°C couldve been standing there, alive. So of course there was a big possibility that the blond guy temperature was wrong as well, so they both had to wait outside while the poor employee had to figure out what was going on.

It always happened. At one point Nico got tired of it and told Will "why cant we just shadowtravel in? The cinema is dark, no one would notice us." And Will really wanted to follow the rules, but he also really wanted to watch that damn movie. So fuck it, thats exactly what they started to do.

Alright! Got the TRT chapter written and some editing done. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish editing tomorrow evening (leaving at 11am and roughly 6 hour drive, will have time tomorrow night), or potentially Monday and Tues night if the editing’s not finished up tomorrow. Breakfast is usually at 8:30am at art camp, followed by ART until lunch, then MORE ART until dinner, and then we’re all done SURPRISE THE TEACHER GIVES ME HIS SHOP KEY EVERY YEAR SO I CAN GO CARVE MORE AFTER DINNER CAUSE I AM A MACHINE.

So we’ll see what I get done. Pre-editing, the chapter was about 4.5k words so I won’t have to edit a mountain at least, and I think I can do it. I’ll let ya’ll know if something changes!
