Es que, he estado esperando tanto por ser libre, he sido valiente y fuerte para poder serlo, pero es que se siente tan gonorrea que me amarren de esta forma.
a while back i played a demo for a game called Poppin & Jupa Pocket Adventure and since then i've been following the development of the game. the only thing i hated was how there wasn't any box art available for the game, so I decided "screw it, i'll make my own" and so here it is. I feel more could be done, this feels like temporary box art more than actual eye-catching art, but this will do for now. if anything, i'm more impressed how i was able to stay on model with the titular characters
The Turkish villages of the Jupa region in North Macedonia.
The region is one of the westernmost points in the Balkans, where there are still ethnic Turks who preserve their language and culture. From this perspective, Župa plays an important role for the Balkan Turks. Although the region borders Albania, Župa has only one Albanian village, which is Balantsi. The rest are Macedonian Christian, Torbeshi and Muslim Turks.
When in 1900 the Bulgarian researcher Vasil Kanchov visited the region to write his book "Macedonia. Ethnography and Statistics", he indicated that in the region, out of a total population of 8309, 3380 were ethnic Turks (40%). The villages where the Turks lived in 1900 are the following: Gorno Elevtsi, Dolno Elevtsi, Dolgash, Turska Osolnitsa, Pralenik (the majority is Turkish, the minority is Bulgarian), Novatsi, Kojadik and Breshtani. Almost all the villages, except Pralenik, were completely Turkish.
He added the following: “Rostkovski's statistics for that kaza are completely unusable. In it, many villages are recorded crookedly beyond recognition. There are no mentions of the Turkish population in Zhupa. The Torbesh also are not mentioned in the kaza of Debre with a few exceptions. Many villages are places with non-existed Christian Albanian population. Many villages are recorded as Christians, and they (the Christians) have been entirely or in large part have been replaced by the Albanians. Verkovich's statistics are so completely unusable now, because they were made a long time ago and since then the population composition has changed a lot.”
The regions center used to be Kocacık, the birthplace of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s father. It used to be the largest village of Jupa with a population more than 1,250, all of them ethnic Turks.

Okay, but what if Rex is hanging out in the desert with Gregor and Wolffe because he wins?
I know the fandom collectively decided that something awful must have happened and that the defeat forced into depressed retirement, but what if that’s not what happened? When Ezra tries pressing him into getting involved, his attitude isn’t, “It wasn’t worth it last time. You can’t fight this.” It’s, “I fought my war; this is my life now.” Wolffe is paranoid as hell and terrified of the Empire at first, sure, but Rex and Gregor aren’t; their attitude towards fighting off the ties is almost casual, like the idea of losing isn’t even an option. And when Kallus does make a direct threat and declares that he’s going to attack, Rex’s response isn’t, “Well, guess we should roll over, things went so badly last time,” it’s, “BRING IT, MOTHERFUCKERS!”
The thing about something bad happening and that being the thing that forced Rex to retire with his tail between his legs is that bad things have already happened. Order 66 happened. Rex lost his entire company and his way of life over the course of a few hours. He lost almost all of his men again in season three of TBB. And he’s still fighting. I’ve seen people speculate that maybe losing Echo is the thing that breaks his spirits, but—first, there’s nothing saying that Echo has to die, Echo can and should live to a ripe old age and I’m not pre-burying a character who I think should live; second, if the worst happened, losing Echo would just make Rex fight harder. Just like he has every time he’s lost so far. His goal, the war he’s currently fighting, is freeing the clones. I don’t see Rex—or Echo, for that matter—quitting until he succeeds. He’d die first. Since he’s definitely don’t dead by the time Rebels rolls around…maybe he did succeed, as much as he possibly could. The clones can’t overthrow the empire, but maybe they can break free of the power Palpatine has had over them for most of their lives. That’d be a real victory.
Rex seems pretty relaxed out there in his RV. He and the boys seem like they’re having fun just chilling and slinging for jupas. I’m hoping retirement out there is something he chose, rather than something he was forced into by failure and fear, just like rejoining the fight and helping the rebellion with the ghost crew was something he chose. There’s no reason it can’t be.
