So, the colors mean that they all live within the same kingdom, white just means that they're the only one of the characters in that kingdom to live there.
The eah world doesn't perfectly mirror our world, and the Ukraine might be small but snow white's kingdom is MASSIVE so even geologically they don't match up in my mind. It's blurry to the real world.

We were sitting at dinner and one of my teammates, her coach wouldn't allow her to have food, like a dinner. And by dinner I mean it was salad and chicken and maybe some fruit... and maybe some green beans. That was too much food! Too much calories. So she got half a grapefruit....
Tasha Schwikert on the What Makes You Think Podcast about smuggling food to her teammates at 2003 Worlds.
Who is the grapefruit gymnast?
Your choices are Hollie Vise, Carly Patterson, Chellsie Memmel, Terin Humphry, and Courtney Kupets. In theory it could have been Annia Hatch or Ashley Postell but it sounds like it’s after they left.
My guess is Humphry since Tasha didn’t say “two teammates” and WOGA would have been my other guess.

Music Monday: Top 4 Songs for This Week!
Get Ready to Groove: WhatsOn’s Music Editor Adam Humphries Brings You the Ultimate Weekly Playlist! Let’s create a musical journey and dance our way through the week with the latest upbeat tracks handpicked by the expert. Are you ready to move and groove?
Holly Henderson releases fourth single from acclaimed sophomore album - "The Walls"!
And that song is called Head Full of Soil and is an open showcase as to what Holly is about as an artist. Beautifully slow paced and smooth. What I like about it how it's about having delusions about trying to kid ourselves everything's great when it's simply not the case.As a singer something that you can really appreciate about her voice is how delicate she is with her singing can carries the empathy, especially when it's about things in life turned sour. In some ways it's hypnotic as you can't quite draw yourself away and you want to listen to her a few times over.

Michael Hamilton releases electronic solo album - 'A Language Forever'
Fingers Crossed, For a Moment and Transmatica, just three of the singles from Michael Hamilton's new album, A Language Forever, and it's an absolute gem of an album. As a composer, musician and all round music maestro Michael definitely knows how to make terrific songs and just let them do the talking.For those who are already aware of his music catalogue will know that he's a man of no words, literally. Language Forever is an amazing and electrifying piece of work and creates a musical landscape the moment you listen to it
https://open.spotify.com/album/1jMd15iLAXhcNZTBbunCFj?si=DOD7NMDdTlaByvYwW_gLQA
The Vaccines' former lead guitarist Freddie Cowan announces first London show with new band Freddie & The Scenarios!
Message Machine, Ibiza Unicorn and Sensi are three of the singles that are taken directly from the new Freddie Cowan album, Answer Machine. As someone who has heard the music of The Vaccines this one is something entirely new and heralds a change in sound for Freddie. It's also somewhat genius as he's still got one foot in the indie door with the other in something highly intriguing and excitingAnswer Machine as an album speaks for itself and is a master stroke of genius and just goes to show that occasionally taking a new change in sound can be somewhat invigorating.See Freddie & The Scenarios play at The Lexington, click the link below for more details
https://open.spotify.com/album/2IZjOnmDM5Ai3uD8hKg4z4?si=AhhXQVXfTqC5wddhXBn49g
Freddie & The Scenarios will play The Lexington on 22nd July 2023 and tickets will go on sale at 10am on Friday 28th April here: https://bit.ly/FreddieTheScenariosLDN
Sprawling 9 minute Andrew Scheps produced epic from Fellow Robot! - Poppy Fields from upcoming album, Misanthropioid
You could easily be stuck to think about as to whether Andrew was a musical genius or someone who is just willing to experiment taking it to an entirely different level. One of the ways I can describe it, without going excessive with words is to call it a electronic ambient soap opera for the ear. In song form that is.After my first listen it echoed the dark yet subtle sound of Radiohead as Andrew's voice is deep and edgy yet maintains its softness. Poppy Fields is taken from his latest record, Misanthropioid ahead of its upcoming release on the 19th May
https://open.spotify.com/track/4xC7Rt286o5A6XxvNMF4CH?si=881c0633a9924660
INDIE-ROCK GROUP FELLOW ROBOT ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM "MISANTHROPIOID", OUT MAY 19TH, CO-PRODUCED AND MIXED BY THREE-TIME GRAMMY WINNER ANDREW SCHEPS.

Robot, Sarmak Fighting Machine
“The Fighting Machine” © Holly Humphries, accessed at InPrint here
[With a property that has been adapted as frequently as The World of the Worlds, adaptation drift sets in. And one of the biggest changes from the original to modern versions is the invincibility of the fighting machines. In 1953′s film adaptation, a Martian saucer could withstand a direct hit from an atomic bomb, which seems to have set the tone for future versions. But in the original book, a tripod can be taken out with mortars and Maxim guns. It’s just that they’re faster than 1890s British artillery and come in numbers sufficient to wipe out an army before the humans can successfully retaliate. So I wanted my version of the fighting machine to be strong and dangerous, but not overwhelmingly so. The (buckwild, highly recommended) Pathfinder module Rasputin Must Die! pits 13th level characters against WWI era weapons and expects them to survive but be challenged by the experience, so that was the CR range I went with.]
Robot, Sarmak Fighting Machine
CR 14 N Construct
This metal giant stands on three long, spindly legs, its main body held higher than a building. Said body has a hooded structure overlooking an array of lights and sensors. A cluster of snaking tentacles hangs from the lower side of the body, capable of extending and retracting.
The sarmak fighting machine, sometimes referred to simply as a tripod, is the cornerstone of sarmak colonial warfare. When not being piloted, they are inert metal, but when a sarmak is at the controls, it is a deadly force more than a match for an entire army. Their primary weapons are black smoke, a lethal chemical cloud, and beams of deadly heat capable of incinerating creatures and lighting buildings on fire. When not using these weapons (such as when the heat ray is recharging), the fighting machines simply trample over foes, or grab them in their tentacles and fling them great distances.
Although a single sarmak fighting machine is a devastating enemy, they typically travel in groups. Sarmaks are skilled tacticians—they coordinate the firing of their heat rays to ensure that the timing of attacks is as fast as possible, and catch particularly fortified positions in the crossfire of beams from different angles. Although the fighting machines themselves are incredibly durable, their occupants are still flaccid and ill-adapted to high gravity environments. If an adventurer can reach the cockpit and break it open, dispatching the sarmak inside is much easier than completely destroying the tripod.

Treasure incidental
Special Abilities
Black Smoke (Ex) As a standard action, a sarmak fighting machine can launch a canister of black smoke. It has a range of 500 feet, and releases toxic gas in a 20-foot radius. Treat this like a nonmagical version of a cloudkill spell (Fortitude DC 22) that lasts for 2 minutes or until dispelled by wind. A sarmak fighting machine has enough ammunition for ten black smoke shots at a time. Sarmaks are immune to the effects of the black smoke. The save DC is Constitution based and includes a +2 racial bonus.
Fling (Ex) A sarmak fighting machine can fling a grappled opponent as a standard action. Treat this as a ranged attack made with a thrown weapon with a range increment of 40 feet. A flung create takes damage as if falling, and if it hits another creature, both it and the creature it hits take damage based on the flung creature’s size and the sarmak’s Strength bonus (2d6+10 for a Medium creature; increase or decrease the damage by one die per size category)
Heat Ray (Ex) As a standard action, a sarmak fighting machine can release a beam of incredible heat. All creatures in a 200-foot line take 14d6 points of fire damage (Ref DC 22 half). Creatures that fail the save take 2d6 points of burn damage each round until the flames are extinguished. A sarmak fighting machine can use its heat ray once every 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Constitution based and includes a +2 racial bonus.
Piloted (Ex) A sarmak fighting machine is not an independent creature. In order to function, it must be piloted. The pilot’s actions translate to those of the fighting machine (standard, full round, move, etc.). A sarmak can pilot a fighting machine without making skill checks, but another creature must succeed a DC 34 Knowledge (engineering) check in order to understand the controls. Most sarmak fighting machines are biolocked and require additional checks to be used by non sarmak creatures.
The cockpit of a sarmak fighting machine can fit one sarmak or other Large creature, and up to four Medium sized creatures without penalty. A creature inside the closed cockpit is treated as having total cover. The hatch can be opened or closed from the inside as a standard action. Breaking into the cockpit requires a DC 34 Disable Device check, and smashing the cockpit open is treated as a sunder attempt (hardness 10, 19 hp). The cockpit is 100 feet in the air, so performing these actions cannot typically be done from ground level.
Reinforced (Ex) A sarmak fighting machine gains a +3 resistance bonus on all saving throws.
Searchlight (Ex) As a swift action, a sarmak fighting machine may turn on or off its lamps, which project bright light in a 120 ft. cone.
