#model un

[twinkletoes670]

Ok guys sorry I forgot to post after my conference I know that’s not so tuff. Whoops. 😅

But I brought you guys the silly Willy Shadow. I wanted to keep his emo hair and hat but he gets fours outfit. Might draw Shadow with the nerd hair.

Uhh here’s my wip or whatever. All the text after is just rambling about my model un experience if you’re interested in that or joining. You should def join.

Fagore feel free to ask questions I will def answer all of them.

Unrelated but my conference was interesting like we only had 45 seconds to speak on a topic. 10 minutes to do a resolution paper. On my position paper I got above average so that’s big w especially for me since I’m a novice. It was lowkey kinda crazy especially when actors came in all dramatic to state a new crisis happened.(the one we got this month is that us might use a pill in death row that is proven to be extremely painful and takes almost an hour to work.)

Foob. :>

model UN, in theory: wow, debating as a country! haha fun :) yay! knowing people and socializing and practicing my skills :D

model UN, in practice: i slept three hours last night. i haven't eaten breakfast. i need to do the resolution paper before 4 p.m. while also coherently debating. my faculty is roasting me after every session. what were the points and motions again

Model UN is so unserious as a concept because like any attempt at modelling politics, the most interesting course of action will inevitably be the one that involves completely upending the existing political structure

During one MUN I attended, I was assigned Italy and placed in the EU, so eventually I collaborated with other members to pull a Palpatine by restructuring the EU into a new Roman Empire

sometimes i feel this way in model UN

there was a kid who very much was spreading slander and lies about me and you better believe i got back at him

he's banned from the conference circuit, was eliminated from awards, and i very much enjoyed taking him down

things i've heard during model un

*someone with their phone on speaker* "where are you?" "buying jamba juice for india. we talked about this."

"we could afford a bus last year because we did some things that were a little shaky in terms of legality"

"we used to throw tea in the ocean to protest monopolies." "sarah for the last time you can't kill mark zuckerberg"

"i have a brilliant idea." *dramatic pause* "biological warfare"

"if you'd had millions of dollars extorted from you in the eighteen whatevers, you'd want to nuke france too"

"russia's just been sitting here. drinking a coffee. plotting world domination"

"the projector isn't working right now, so if you could turn the resolution into an original song and perform it live for us that'd be great."

"would anyone like to make a speech?" *person raises hand* "besides you"

*screaming and sirens start somewhere in the distance* "me too dude. me too"

"QUICK INDIA FORGE ME A CHECK"

"so how are the kids?" (to britain) *sniffs* "THEY'VE ALL ABANDONED ME"

*to the tune of "the jets"* "when you're korea your life can be tough / you get split down the middle"

"i've got that middle eastern dictator rizz" *finger guns*
