Side-effect of roleplaying is that you are finally forced to actually draw your own goddamn fantasy maps and not just hallucinate them

#oh my god i forgot to edit the abisu out #i swear i did it first #and finnish only sorry #finnish puns #so many #second world order #third world order #digital art #Digital Illustration #world building #fantasy map #Africa-shaped lake happened by accident I didn't notice it for a while #cracked up when i did

Can you imagine that in mid-march I didn't know exactly where Finland was nor what language people spoke there

The Controversy of Uralic Peoples as Mongoloids

During the age of European nationalism, Finns, Hungarians, and Estonians have often had the concept of their Whiteness challenged. Some individuals have even gone out of their way to classify these three collectives as a part of the Mongoloid (East Asian) race. The strongest evidence for this claim had to do with linguistics. In the 21st century, many individuals only recognize language to be a fluid construct that has no indication of race. However, Europeans of the late 19th and early 20th century perceived language as an ethno-racial marker.

Some Western Chauvinists theorized that their shared identity of whiteness was partly ingrained in their common linguistic heritage. A broad language family identified as "Indo-European" is what loosely bound the white race together. The Finnish and Estonian tongues, however, are derived from the "Finno-Ugric" or "Uralic" language family. Because of this discrepancy, the Uralic peoples were considered Orientalized by their lack of linguistic kinship. In addition to a difference in language, certain Uralic populations also possessed physical features similar to that of East Asians. Most notably, ethnic groups like the Khanty and Mansi have pronounced epicanthic folds and maintain distinct linguistic ties with the Hungarians. These linguistic and phenotypic attributes indicated that, although the Finns, Hungarians, and Estonians appeared to be white Europeans, they were, in actuality, descendants of the Mongoloid race. These racial designations were not merely trivial ideological conflicts either. We see its impacts demonstrated when, in the United States, early Finnish immigrants were not considered white. In their book, Peter Kivisto and Johanna Leinonen note how a Finnish gentleman was denied American citizenship due to his Mongoloid origins.

This condescending view of the Finns was even shared by their fellow kin from Central Europe, the Hungarians. But why? Why would the Hungarians, a fellow Uralic-speaking people, deny any sort of linguistic/lineage tie with the Finns? This rejection is rooted in several factors tied to race, culture, and politics. In terms of politics, Hungarians have often tried to ease themselves into the sphere of pan-Turkism. This was especially prominent during the era of European nationalism when pan-Slavism was perceived as a threat to Hungary. In a reaction to Pan-Slavism, the Hungarians have often hearkened to their steppe ancestry as proof to be included as a part of a Turkic union. In addition to political factors, Hungarian history has instilled a strong sense of pride in their descent from hardened steppe warriors. The Hungarian nationalists envision themselves as the perfect syncretism of equestrian valor and . However, this romantic imagery is removed by asserting that Hungarians are related to the Uralic people. Uralic people, who were not steppe warriors, but lowly fishermen from the baron reaches of northern Europe.  

The Nordicists sought to reinforce Hungary's shared origin with the Finns by emphasizing their cranial similarities. In his work Intra-Nordic Differences, Suvi Keskinen writes:   

"Anders Retzius, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology,

developed a skull index to investigate “longskulls” and “shortskulls,”

coming to the conclusion that the Finns, the Sámi, and Hungarians

were to be placed among the Turanian type, understood as of Asian

origin" 

Finland's history of being colonized by Sweden only added to the narrative that Uralic people were naturally meant to exist as subjugated people. This was in no way appealing to the Hungarians who sought independence from the Austrian Empire. This degrading portrayal of Finns as a subjugated and primitive race caused Hungarians to distance themselves from any sort of shared identity. In the book Languages and Publics, by Susan Gal and Kathryn Woolard, the authors note that a certain linguist was disgusted at the notion of having any sort of ancestral lineage to the Finns. In contemporary times, however, Hungarians have largely come to accept their place as members of the Uralic language family. Though others may stress the possibility of Turkic roots, one cannot deny the distant Siberian influence present across all Uralic peoples.  

As the era of nationalism waned, the focus on race and ethnicity also diminished. The tumultuous aftermath of World War 2 prompted European nations to reconsider their relationships with neighboring countries. This shifting landscape gradually relieved the burden on Finns, Hungarians, and Estonians to constantly affirm their place within the Western sphere. The post-war period brought a nuanced perspective, allowing these nations a respite from the need to continually assert their Western identities.

so the thing w the baseball au is that obviously jake’s gonna be a catcher. like imo most goalies are at least a little catcher-coded but that’s the most ‘see the game different, calm-but-relishes-in-being-in-control’ position & at least w the way i write him it’s simply the Only Option. but then like. the inherent romance of baseball would then dictate that jason be a pitcher, so we could go full cal raleigh-logan gilbert, w the whole ‘we were rookies together & we’re linking ourselves & dragging the team into a different place’ vibes. except that jason CAN’T be a pitcher. i can’t make the vibes compute. he’s too outfielder coded. which is FINE because then miro can slide in as a pitcher and that actually works to get all of the 2017 draft class there except that i didn’t want to transpose the whole team into baseball because some of these guys simply do not have ballplayer vibes. but like. if jason’s an outfielder then does it not Make Sense to put pavs & roope out there too. for the vibes. but then also what the fuck are two finnish dudes doing on an mlb team right. and if we’ve got five stars playing baseball in this au is it not weirder to keep the rest of them out. but also that’s so many white guys & europeans.

#zoe.txt #rpf talk #so like clearly. a lot to map out still. #which is FINE because we’re still the outlining/plotting stage #like half because i have two quick-ish projects to finish first #like maybe not the *****/***** fic #but def the nick & robo one #& also because i need to shift into baseball mode #(going to tonight’s game. will probably do that but whatever) #but also half because i keep going ‘we’ll figure that out later’ re an actual plot #because figuring out team logistics keeps waylaying me #also obviously i know about finnish baseball but it Is Different

For some reason the dream I had last night was double apocalyptic: first there was a huge volcanic eruption (the kind where it exploded) far away but close enough for the shockwave to reach us and then toxic ash fall so everyone was stuck indoors (except I had to take the dogs* out for a walk eventually so they could relieve themselves and one of those dogs being a Rottweiler turned out to be a good thing bc he protecc) but a few hours later it started raining ? Which ok it washed away the ash BUT IT KEPT RAINING and I looked out the window and saw water levels rapidly rising until ground floors were entirely under water (in our house we were currently on the first floor) and it kept rising and the power cut off but I still had mobile phone reception incl 4g and the last I remember before I woke up was checking the news and seeing a map of Europe and it was all water except for a few tall mountain ranges. Like all of it was just gone and we were sitting on the floor at the highest level of our house knowing everything around us for hundreds of km in any direction was also under water

* I don’t have dogs and haven’t since I was 18

#it was only a dream so the Europe under water map was comically wrong #it was like. it followed political borders not geographical ones #brain I don’t know how to break it to you but if all of Denmark is under water THEN SO WOULD SKÅNE BE #neat cut off line along the Eastern European border and Russia. #for some reason Norway and Sweden were not under water #where in Europe was I in my dream? no clue. the view outside my window looked like tradition wooden house district of Finnish type #but I was not in Finland #I’m not sure who I was with either #family I think #but it can’t have been all of them there weren’t enough people #but I had two dogs that part was nice #me this morning: so. should I prepare myself for a natural disaster #or is this just the stress of living in the UK manifesting #you know what I’m going to do today #drink lots of hot chocolate and write some fic

What I find extremely hilarious right now is how Sweden can’t accept that people aren’t focusing on them. How Finland isn’t just crying in the shadow of Sweden. How Finland is celebrating Käärijä even if he didn’t bring the trophy home. They don’t want to accept why we are celebrating. Swedish media is trashing Finland right now harshly and so does Swedes in media. Hell, even Swedish ice hockey coach made some stupid comments to Finnish ice hockey team. 

But why are Finns celebrating like we won?

We are celebrating because for the first time in ages THE WHOLE WORLD sees us as our own and not the shadow of Sweden. Käärijä made the world acknowledge us! Point us on the map! And that’s something that rarely happens. 

Sweden is acting like the bitter big brother who doesn’t accept that someone is paying attention to little brother Finland instead of them.

And that’s beautiful. 

#eurovision #esc #esc 2023 #Sweden #finland #Eurovision song contest #Käärijä #cha cha cha #This is the best outcome honestly #People are acknowledging Finland as the country! #As our own culture we are! #So STOP making Finland as the avec of Sweden all the time #We'll never return to be part of Sweden :)

I suddenly remembered I have this blog and considering how much I sometimes need to talk about DnD stuff, this just may be the solution.

This map is actually a crop from the bigger map I posted... um, ages ago. I made this to give to my players. They asked for it and I like sharing but I was a little strapped for time so I just added black texts and called it done. 

I should make a new version of this. I really like these maps and the world overall so I wanna refine this more. I even have thought of new places and names.

The campaign we were playing died due to the pandemic but hopefully I get to bring a new group into this world one day.

(Yes, the map is in Finnish. And like with many things, a lot of the names don’t translate (or even need it). When I make a cleaner version, I might make one with English names for some places. For funsies.)

(For future world building posts, I may consider switching to Finnish as all of my writing for it is in Finnish.)

🌷 kuosi collection 🌷

i started working on this recolor set around three years ago and only recently regained the motivation to actually sit down and finish it. so here you are, a big ol' pile of cas and build/buy items in finnish design patterns (marimekko, finlayson, vallila)! this is very much a self-indulgent set since i am a huge fan of finnish design but can't really afford to buy these items in real life (apart from the dozen marimekko bags i've thrifted lol).

a big thank you goes to my dear friend @cookiesandcrumbs for graciously making me a fem frame tee when i was struggling to find a good one to recolor. the tee has been tested in game, on all body sizes and no issues were found but if you find anything wrong with the tee, please send me an ask or dm! 💕

everything is base game compatible

some items require meshes (info on the download index page)

custom cas and swatch thumbnails

all the items have a bunch of fun swatches that you can take a closer look at through the download index page 🌞🌈

You ever have those random little epiphanies that are just stuff that's obvious in hindsight, but you never thought of that before? Like today I was doing my favourite internet activity - lurking other peoples' conversations online - and came by a discussion about some guy who's finnish, and another finn helpfully translated an observation about him to the english-speakers in the audience: that he talks finnish in an extremely distinct southern dialect.

And someone, clearly not finnish, commented to this, going "hold on isn't this guy like Has Never Seen A Cow In Real Life-levels of urban?"

Some other finns came in to explain the matter - something I already knew of course, but would never have crossed my mind is something that'd require explaining: Finland is structured differently than the US, with the most southern areas being the most urban and densely populated, going more rural and sparsely inhabited the further up north you go. The closest equivalent to the US kind of cows-and-tractors "redneck" (affectionate) area is central Finland. In finnish, a southern dialect - especially this one in particular - is peak Soft-Handed City Boy -talk.

And it had somehow never really consciously crossed my mind that every country and culture has their own urban-and-rural division, whether it's north/south, east/west, etc, with their broad-stroked stereotypes of the people on the other side. Like maps of places I've never been to, that on their own say nothing to me, have their own imaginary lines drawn somewhere in there, and people from one side of the line will point at the other side and say "this is the region where drunk driving a tractor is a considered a competitive sport", and the people from the other side say "people from this area have never been outdoors and will squeal in terror if they see a live chicken."
