Eosome: Makura Blōhai

ma-ku-ra blō-ha-i

[ˈmakurʌ ˈbloːxaɪ̯]

"shark Blåhaj"

Blåhaj the shark.

In Wonao culture, sharks are considered sacred, as servants of the sea god.

There was one pic about "spinel supremacy". In line with my beliefs and my stories' cultures, I changed it to Spinel being the bringer of good luck.

In Vozonid culture, spinels are considered holy gems, carriers of divine power and blessing. People wear wristbands with spinels, and embed the gems into their robes and helmets to invoke their gods.

Perhaps that might be a flatteringly amusing birthday gift to celebrate our lovely gem. Happy birthday, Spinel!

(Warning: contains blood, violence, and cannibals)

I honestly think Daniel (the cultist from Camp Camp) looks like an ice cream man. Like the ice cream men of American folklore, Daniel can be quite creepy.

I later expanded that idea into making Daniel a paitejo. In my stories, the paitejo (PIE-teh-yoh) is a demonic vampire from Heronoi mythology (the folklore of a race of blonde aliens), based on the hunters who killed and ate their people every winter. The paitejo is an evil man who hunts people from snow and ice, killing them to drink their blood: it can be quite fitting considering that Daniel is wandering in Antarctica, a frozen land that might resemble Hell in Heronoi myth.

In order to defeat the paitejo, you should burn it. Fire can damage the paitejo’s cursed body and shatter its infernal blade.

After all, since I regard spinels to be good luck, so it would make sense for Spinel the Gem to be honoured like a Vozonid. Besides, her birthday falls after September 1, the Vozonid new year. The Sarmelonid text reads: "Ùūūūūū! Tšez-zil p'æi luaz?" (Oooooh, is this for me?) "Hoqqil Purulli ta Bandžòzril, Karkinja!" (Happy New Year and Birthday, Spinel!)

Dok Saau meets an obolosuo

Because the doggo looks like him

The headpiece can help him "speak" his own thoughts, and even understand what is inside the minds of more complex animals like dogs.

A Buyanski Slav man, wearing his traditional clothing, waving his country's flag to celebrate his country's independence day.

[youtheniyalma]

In the 1900s, some Buyanski were disappointed by their government's decision to vote a popular foreign dog as the national dog breed of Buyan. So they made of parody of their national flag by replacing the albatross with a borzoi.

The original Buyanski flag.

Blue - harmony, faith in Perun and the gods

White - justice, restoration of Buyan, uplifting the people to glory

Seas - turbulent history, knowledge of historical disaster to guide Buyanski out of evil

Albatross - independence from Terran oppression

Eosome:

Lom en-Tjeru. Lom en-nripo. Lom en-baëzo.

[lom ɛnˈtjeru lom ɛnˈripo lom ɛnbaˈɛzo]

I not-Terran. I not-liar. I not-troll.

"I am not a Terran, not a fraud, and not a troll."

long context post

Eosome is one of the two official languages of Buyan, as the common language used by the indigenous Wonao people. The use of Eosome is an act of patriotism against Terran rule.

Three kinds of people are seen as enemies to Buyanski society, with varying extents:

Terrans

Collectively hated as oppressors due to their 400 years of misrule and abuse towards Buyanski people. It was also due to the severe corruption practiced all over the Terran colonies that divided and occupied Buyan, all for the sake of war and power, resulting in widespread abuse and murder.

Not all Terrans are subject to contempt: those who willingly joined or surrendered to the revolutionaries were usually spared. Those who are seen as repentant, refusing to participate in such corruption and cruelty, are also accepted into Buyanski society.

Frauds

As victims of fraudsters, or collectively by Terran rulers who lied to them and kept most Buyanski in poverty, the Buyanski revived their traditional hatred of frauds.

In ancient Wonao and Buyanski culture, fraud is listed as one of the worst sins, and frauds were usually punished by death.

This was also due to the Buyanski seeking revenge against the Salvationist Party. For their role in allowing the Terrans to colonise and enslave Buyan, the Salvationist Party (Sterne Spasanverije) is seen as one of the Terran colonisers who fought for control over the entire island. Salvationists, or Sterspasniks, became hated as among the worst of all traitors and frauds, especially because of their supremacist views and attacks against their own people.

Trolls

Online trolling was very popular among the Terran colonies, both due to it being a trend that lasted for centuries, and the war between the Terran empires that influenced their society.

The same culture of trolling fuelled a society of lying, abuse, and murder, where every form of cruelty was acceptable as long as it did not affect the trolls. Inevitably, nearly every Terran who participated in this "culture" received cruelty, even as they continued to grieve in rage if they managed to survive.

Horrified by this vicious cycle of abuse, and angered by the hypocritical attitudes of the trolls, the Buyanski prohibited any of their own people from any behaviours seen as "trollish". Ancient taboos were revived as a code of honour, so practices such as sadism and whataboutism were punished with cruelty, as if the offenders immediately became war criminals. Terrans became collectively known as "trolls" due to the widespread practice of trolling and harrassment, along with any Buyanski who also behaved like them.

This same obsession with revenge resulted in a civil war over the fate of Terrans who surrendered to the revolution, where a faction of Buyanski sought the total destruction of the "trolls", who now repented and lived as outcasts. The revolution prevailed because its allies wanted to stop the fanatics from turning Buyan into another warmongering regime.
