Client confessed love for me and then ended their life

Tragic, tragic, heartbreaking loss. Won't go into any details to protect client privacy, but it's hard to swallow. Would be so grateful for any resources, groups, or advice as I grieve.

I've canceled most of my sessions for the week, but have kept a few. My backlogged notes for other clients are creating some anxiety. What a rollercoaster.

The most captivating client I've worked with to date, and they continue to be so even in their death. Grateful to have known them.

Update: Unbelievably thankful for the outpouring of support. It's been incredibly helpful to read and utilize ❤️ Very unfortunately I just got news of a second client passing. Two in the same week. This one was not by suicide.

Edit:

Erotic Countertransference

Looking for personal experiences navigating romantic/erotic countertransference (especially that in response to erotic transference)... I'm seeking supervision and being mindful about how I'm showing up with this client, but I'd love if anyone would be open to sharing more about their own experiences with this, and what the ultimate outcome was for you. Interestingly, this client has expressed their own attraction to me, and we're working through it/making use of it in our work together. They are not aware of my feelings beyond the genuine care I have for them. My framework leans relational psychodynamic for reference.

There is also a free trial on Patreon www.Patreon.com/worldaroundewe/redeem/357DD

VERY different content on each of those!

Thanks for being so welcoming of my dead stuff.

There's no nudity on my OF it's mostly me in grey sweat pants and boxers showing off my things I've made from rats.

Although it's technically a holiday in Hong Kong I am in the office, albiet with nothing to do so I have been watching DS9. Here are my thoughts...

Emissary

The best Star Trek pilot, both in terms of entertainment and setting the scene and establishing the main characters for the subsequent series. Quark and Odo aren't given much to do but nevertheless we get an impression of who they are and their relationship to one another- Quark's nephew BIPOC is presented here as more of a hardened delinquent rather than the naughty kid he would later appear as and BIPOC's father Rom only appears in the background. Kira is pretty annoying tbh and it took most of season 1 to let her calm down and stop being angry and unhinged about literally everything. Everyone else is pretty much as they would be throughout the show, including Gul Dukat who has a brief appearance.

The story revolves around the immediate aftermath of the Cardassian withdrawl from their 50-year occupation of Bajor and the uneasy new alliance between the Bajorans and the Federation, who the Bajorans fear might just be a new occupation force. The Bajoran gods, the Prophets, are revealed to be aliens who exist outside of time and space in an artificial wormhole which connects the Alpha and Gamma Quadrants of our galaxy. By the end of the episode the Prophets have agreed to allow transit to the new frontier through their wormhole after a lengthy extrapolation between themselves and DS9 commander Sisko on the nature of linear time.

This focusses on why Sisko- who insists we temporal beings are always moving forward- continues to dwell on the death of his wife during the Borg invasion, rather than moving on which he has argued is what we do. This is very smart writing- taking the very out-there concept of aliens who exist at every point in time simultaneously and linking it to the very relatable experience of grief. It would have been better without Avery Brooks' profoundly uneven performance. I think he is capable of acting some scenes very well- the relationship between Sisko and his son Jake is one of the best father-son combos in tv history- but he cannot play strong emotions and resorts to this odd staccato shouting which just seems weird.

Why exactly the Prophets- who experience past, present and future as one- would seem surprised or even threatened by Sisko deserves some exploration. Especially so since later seasons will reveal he has a very close relationship to one of them. I hypothesise that they are, to some extent, playing along with the scene but, at the same time, this actually is the beginning of a linear cause and effect series of events for them. They use Sisko's description of linear events as a template to create their own, deciding to interract more closely with the temporal universe beyond their own wormhole- that these events occur in the past from our perspective is irrelevant as the Prophets can leave their own dimension at any point along the timeline. From their perspective the line of cause and effect is- meet with Sisko, realise he's 'one of them'; send one of their own to create him; take a greater interest in Bajor and the greater galaxy (including abducting an ancient religious extremist to act as an alternative emissary- a wake-up call to goad Sisko into taking his role as emissary seriously, and saving the Alpha Quadrant from a Dominion fleet); and latterly suffering a schism among their ranks which creates the Pah-Wraiths. This happens all over our timeline but is a series of one-after-the-other events to them and is their exploration of linear existence. Of course, to some extent, they always knew they would do this as they always had knowledge of past, present and future as one- in the words of Dr. Manhattan; "We're all puppets, but some of us can see the strings".

Past Prologue

The first regular episode of DS9 introduces possibly the greatest reoccuring character in Star Trek history- challenged only by his fellow Cardassian Gul Dukat- Elim Garak (or "plain simple Garak" as he prefers). He is the only Cardassian to remain on the station and is suspected of being a spy, which is half true (but of course, the truth is just an excuse for a poor imagination). Andrew J. Robinson (who also played the Scorpio in Dirty Harry- he was wrong to feel lucky- and the heavy-bleeding father in the original Hellraiser) plays Garak a little too creepy and gay and apparently Rick Berman told him to cut that shit out, so Garak straightens out quite a lot in subsequent appearances. Garak is the best part of the episode, the rest of it is some guff about Bajoran extremists- whom we never hear from again- and another appearance by the utterly tiresome House of Duras in the form of the sisters Lursa and B'Etor (in their defence, they do seem to have nice tits) who are smuggling bomb parts for the extremists. Lets just remind ourselves of what eventually happened to them:

Anyway, none of this goes anywhere and Kira ends up looking like a bit of an idiot for initially supporting the nice-haired extremist leader- to be fair she does redeem herself towards the end. All anyone cares about in this episode is Garak and it's worth watching for him.

A Man Alone

Cut to: Bashir and Quark lusting after Dax (Jeets and Jews being notorious for this kind of shit). Everyone assumes that Sisko is going to feed her a length but he insists they're just old friends. For some reason I startrd imagining the noises Avery Brooks makes when fricking while writing this.

Anyway- none of this is the point of the episode and Odo harrumpfing and admitting to being a vocel before jumping up and slugging a guy at the dabo table and telling him he's got 26 hours (one Bajor day) to get off the station cues us to the focus of this episode. The guy he hit was some kind of smuggler but not the good kind- he let a kid die cos her family couldn't pay for the medicine she needed. He then killed a Cardassian for which Odo arrested and charged him. Later on he's seen getting a massage by a web-fingered holo-whore when's he's stabbed in the back and killed.

The tale requires us to go along with the notion that Odo might actually be the killer- after all, we don't know him that well. However Rene Aberjoniois is a fully paid up regular cast member contracted until at least the end of the season. I suppose, back in the 90s, there were still a lot of people watching who didn't understand how TV gets made but the whole thing never gets resolved and a bunch of threads get left hanging- most notably the motivations of Chudd McWrinklenose...

...who leads the witch hunt against Quark when he gets relieved of duty. I'm going to spoil the ending cos it's not very interesting. The suggler guy cloned himself and then killed his clone. Bashir demonstrates this by growing a clone of the guy revealing that, when it's grown, it will be allowed to leave medbay and go have a life- Odo states that "killing your clone is still murder". Now, I grant you that this might just be Bajoran law but lets just recall how Riker and the awful Pulaski reacted when someone cloned them:

The B-plot is about the O'Briens and Keiko being unhappy with nothing to do on the station. The woman was a botanist on the Enterprise (I assume she and a bunch of other civilians worked in specialist jobs like than somewhere among the huge and echoingly- empty halls of that ship- seriously, the Enterprise-D had a compliment of less than a thousand people -including civilians- and had literally millions of square feet of floorspace- place must've been empty as frick) and now she's sat at home with the kid. So she decides to become a schoolteacher because, when all other career choices dry up, that's what you do. She goes to persuade Rom to send his son to the school. Rom is... very different to how he'll be later. Of course,nobody likes Keiko so anything about her is unpopular. A lot of this is for the same reasons that nobody liked Skylar in Breaking Bad- male writers project onto wife characters and make them drag-wheels for the male protagonists... their feelings and ideas an obstacle to be overcome. Nevertheless, here's a compilation of Keiko being an annoying c*nt:

In summary: meh.

I really want to know why Odo doesn't just turn his arms into tentacles and wrap up perps when arresting them or why he grunts and gasps while he's fighting considering he's a changeling who doesn't breathe.

Babel

Cold open on something I've never seen before: a hard working Irishman. Potatoneighbors usually only put the effort into three things- drunkeness, spousal abuse and the glorification of heinous acts of terrorism. But Chief Miles O'Brien will do anything to avoid having to go home and talk to his wife so he's personally taking charge of literally every actof maintenence on the station. DS9 was a shoddy rush-job, it seems and Cardassian technology is a bit shit compared to the Federation stuff. After fixing yet another anus-juice-producing replicator we see a mysterious object within release a strange gas...

The station becomes Wuhan to an aphasia virus which makes people spount gibberish. This is never funnier than when it's O'Brien- Colm Meany (an actually legitimately great actor) delivers this stuff wonderfully and it's an incredible shame that he's removed from the episode so soon. I could watch this shit for 40 minutes no trouble:

This episode is actually quite good and benefits from having no real b-plot. The closest you get is that Quark inadvertently spreads the virus further by breaking into the crew quarters on the command decks to use the replicators after the ones in his bar break and O'Brien's too busy having his spazz to fix them. Now this begs a question: what the frick are people paying Quark for if he's just using the same ship replicators as everyone else to make his food and drink? Is it ambience? I considered the idea that maybe Quark has licences to replicate stuff you can't get at home but then how's he doing it from a crew replicator? Maybe everyone only gets a certain ration of replicator credits and Quark's takes latinum for more but then that really raises the idea that his patrons are gluttons. I suppose the gambling and holo-whoring is something you can't do in your quarters but everyone acts like the food and drink is something special too.

Quark and Odo are the only two main cast members who don't get affected by the virus by the end of the episode which actually makes a lot of sense as Odo's a changeling and numerous TNG episodes established that Ferenghi brains don't work like goyim brains do.

Anyway- first objectively good regular episode of season 1. The next episode will be even better...

@BWC approve me

and we have no marseys for this theme, terribly lacking.

I'm in a groomercord server with a few friends from college that I occasionally use voice chat in to play with them. I don't partake in the nonsense that is the text servers, I use it like the lord intended, a team speak replacement.

Some "trans ally" type was asking what people got for Christmas for vidya, despite being 33 years old. He said "I am tempted by the price of it [quidditch game] on sale but I'm holding strong not to support JK".

I just came in over the top, bought the bundle thing on sale for $33 and posted "since you're holding strong I'm going to double up and buy both for TERF Mommy". I'm awaiting the seethe response.

Note maybe 3-4 of the people that use this server are this online to understand but he's one of them. I'm sure I'll get blowback I can just ignore since I don't type in the chat.

Anyway I got these two games now, they worth installing and playing through? I don't normally play consumer grade slop but since I spent $30ish to troll I may consider it.

CSS osu!

Also posted on WPD

I made a simple version of the circle clicking game osu! with HTML and CSS. I was mostly finished with it around December 4. You can find it on @YourAlterEgo's profile. It's on the desktop site only. If you're using a laptop, using a mouse is recommended.

To play it, you click the circles when the ring (approach circle) gets close to the circle. The right time to click is around the time the ring turns white or when it almost reaches the circle. You can click earlier or later if you want. If the anthem starts at the same time you click the play button, it should somewhat sync with the song (it's not perfect).

Play here on @YourAlterEgo's profile (Desktop only)

If the anthem autoplays or the game lags, try it here:

Comment what you think. If it glitches out or doesn't work, comment what went wrong and what browser you're using. If the anthem doesn't play, try closing other rDrama tabs that have audio playing.

Questions

If you have other questions, ask in the comments, and I might answer.

1. What is osu!?

It's a free-to-play weeb rhythm game where you click circles while listening to music. This is the game's website. You can try an unoffcial web demo like I did if you don't want to download it. On the actual game and the web version, you can use Z and X to click, which is easier than clicking with the mouse. They also have sliders and spinners, which aren't present in this CSS version.

2. What is CSS?

Cascading Style Sheets, a language used for styling webpages. You can use it to change the color of text, add shadows and glows, change the page's layout, add background images, add simple animations, and so on.

3. Is there an indicator for early and late hits?

No. I tried to track early hits by adding another <details> element that would be animated to toggle its visibility (and therefore clickability). There would be 2 <details> elements you could click, and clicking the one that appears earlier would mean you hit early. However, this caused issues with the circles not responding to clicks, so I gave up on it.

4. How does it work?

CSS animations, animation delays, CSS counters, and lots of <details> and <summary> elements

This uses a lot of <details> and <summary> elements. To make the circles and play button interactive on click, they needed to be interactive HTML elements. <details> and <summary> elements (normally used for showing more text on click, like a spoiler button) are allowed in rDrama bios (unlike checkboxes), so they were perfect for this. The <summary> is the actual clickable part, so that is the element that is styled into a circle or play button.

The following is what details and summary normally look like.

Try clicking me. This clickable text is the summary element inside the details element.

Hello! This is the hidden text!

<details>
<summary>Try clicking me. This clickable text is the <em>summary</em> element inside the <em>details</em> element.</summary>
Hello! :marseywave2: This is the hidden text!
</details>

The game screen is a <blockquote>. It has a play button at the start (<details> and <summary> elements), and there are 72 blockquotes containing other elements after the play button, one for each of the 72 circles. The bio looks something like the following.

<blockquote>
<details><summary></summary></details>
> <details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p>
> <details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p>
...
> <details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p>
#
> <details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p>
...
> <details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p>
</blockquote>

In HTML, it would be this.

<blockquote>
	<details><summary></summary></details>
	<blockquote><details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p></blockquote>
	<blockquote><details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p></blockquote>
	...
	<blockquote><details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p></blockquote>
	<h1></h1>
	<blockquote><details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p></blockquote>
	...
	<blockquote><details><summary></summary></details><h2>a</h2><p>a</p></blockquote>
</blockquote>

The blockquotes are absolutely positioned and placed around the screen. Inside the blockquotes are the circles (<details> and <summary> elements), the rings/approach circles (<p>), and miss indicators (<h2>). There are also a few <h1> elements between the blockquotes used to mark the start of each section with different colored circles.

<blockquote>
	<details>
		<summary></summary>
	</details>
	<h2>a</h2>
	<p>a</p>
</blockquote>

You might notice the <p> and <h2> elements have "a" written inside them. This is simply because rDrama did not allow empty <p> and <h2> elements.

The approach circles (rings), circles, and miss indicators were all animated with CSS animations. Because osu! has set timings, it's easy to simply add an animation delay to determine when circles should appear. For example, circle 1 fades in 1.13 second after you click the play button, and circle 72 appears 32.73s seconds in.

#profile--bio blockquote > blockquote:nth-of-type(1) {
	animation-delay: 1.13s;
}

The circles, rings/approach circles, and miss indicators inherit the timing from the containing blockquote.

#profile--bio blockquote > blockquote p,
#profile--bio blockquote > blockquote details,
#profile--bio blockquote > blockquote h2 {
	animation-delay:inherit !important;
}

The play button consists of <details> and <summary> elements. When you click the play button, the open attribute gets added to the <details> element, and the play button gets hidden. The game only starts playing the animations for the other elements when the play button has the open attribute. The CSS uses the sibling selector to use the play button to target the other elements.

#profile--bio details[open] ~ blockquote details {
	animation:1.5s fadecircle ease-out;
	animation-fill-mode:forwards;
}

The above means that the circle (the second details) should have an animation named "fadecircle" only after the play button (the first details) has been clicked. The details[open] means that the details element has the "open" attribute. This looks like <details open> or <details open=""> in the HTML. The ~ is a sibling selector. If you write details ~ blockquote, it targets all blockquotes that are siblings of a details element (having the same parent element) and come after it in the HTML.

The circles need to be clickable for a limited amount of time. The visibility attribute both can be animated and affects interactivity. A circle's visibility is toggled through a CSS animation to make it clickable only when it's on screen.

@keyframes fadecircle {
	0% {
		visibility:hidden;
		opacity:0;
	}
	10% {
		visibility:visible;
		opacity:1;
	}
	90% {
		opacity:1;
		visibility:visible;
	}
	100% {
		visibility:hidden;
		opacity:0;
	}
}

When you click on a circle, it hides both the approach circle and the miss indicator. The miss indicator only appears after the circle fades out, meaning that if you click the circle, the miss indicator will never appear. Clicking the circle also makes the circle play a different animation to fade out as a white glow. Like with the play button, the open attribute is used to determine whether a circle was hit.

Hide approach circle after the circle (the second details) has been hit ([open])

#profile--bio details[open] ~ blockquote details[open] ~ p {
	display:none;
}

Play a different animation after the circle has been hit

#profile--bio > blockquote > blockquote > details[open] summary {
	background:none;
	animation:0.15s hitcircle linear;
	animation-fill-mode:forwards;
	border-width:6px;
}

The numbers on the circles and the hit counter were made using the CSS counter feature. The CSS counter feature allows us to count elements matching a certain selector and display the current count using the content attribute. For example, you can make a counter to count the number of circles and display the current count on each circle. That way, the 1st circle will be labelled 1, the 2nd circle will be labelled 2, and so on.

The first rule initializes 3 different counters to zero. The second adds 1 to two of the counters at every one of the 72 blockquotes inside the game. The third displays the current count of the counter circlenumbers on the circles.

#profile--bio {
	counter-reset:circlenumbers hitcircles totalcircles;
}

#profile--bio blockquote > blockquote {
	...
	counter-increment:circlenumbers totalcircles;
	...
}

#profile--bio > blockquote > blockquote > details > summary::before{
	content:counter(circlenumbers);
	...
}

There are different sections with different colors, and the circles in each section are numbered up starting from 1. To determine when each section starts, there are <h1> elements between the blockquotes. This allows us to use the sibling selector to target the blockquotes after each nth <h1> and change the circles' colors. The counter on the circles is also reset to 1 at each <h1>.

#profile--bio h1 {
	counter-set:circlenumbers 0;
	...
}

The default circle color is red. The circles in the first section use that color. The rules below override the colors of the circles after the first <h1> and the second <h1> with pink and purple respectively.

#profile--bio h1:first-of-type ~ blockquote summary {
	background-color:var(--pink-transparent);
}

#profile--bio h1:nth-of-type(2) ~ blockquote summary {
	background-color:var(--purple-transparent);
}

The hit counter counts the number of circles with the open attribute and is placed on the ::after pseudoelement attached to the outer container blockquote (the game screen). The element displaying this counter needs to be placed after all of the circles in order to count them all, and this meets the requirement.

#profile--bio > blockquote > blockquote details[open] {
	counter-increment:hitcircles;
}

#profile--bio > blockquote::after {
	content:"Total circles: " counter(totalcircles) " | Circles clicked: " counter(hitcircles);
	...
}

The timer was made using ::before and ::after pseudoelements with an animated content property. I found out this was possible from @iheartrdrama's former WPD CSS!

#profile--bio > blockquote details[open] ~ h1:nth-of-type(4)::before {
	content:"0:00";
	left:20px;
	animation:36s timer linear, 0.25s timerFade;
	animation-delay:0s, 36s;
	animation-fill-mode:forwards;
}

The other timer uses the same animation but in a reverse direction.

animation:36s timer linear, 0.25s timerFade;
animation-direction:reverse, normal;

Animation

@keyframes timer {
	0% {
		content:"0:00";
	}
	2.78% {
		content:"0:01";
	}
	...
	97.22% {
		content:"0:35";
	}
	100% {
		content:"0:36";
	}
}

Take every bite and just do a staring contest with dad lmao. Smile a bit while you chew, too.

My parents are both hefty people too and have brushed their insecurities and negative outlook of that stuff onto me.

Wow. Just wow. Too much to take in here.

First of all, Merry Christmas! Secondly, your dad can go kick rocks. I'm sure he's not the ideal image of"perfect health," not that weight is a reliable indicator of that, but you could also say that he's really "giving Santa" this year and look down to his gut, shake his confidence and maybe he'll think twice before his next comment. Oh and also, EAT THAT PLATE! We need to eat to survive, and there's no shame in that. Anybody who shames you for eating while fat have a warped relationship with their bodies and food, and you don't need to suffer for their comfort. Happy holidays 😇

Political rivals

• This was annoying to write because I don't know what details are actually relevant enough, I don't want to make this too boring A little backtrack first. I focused a lot of Georgescu in the previous posts but now the parties and the relations between them are more important for the drama. PSD and USR really don't get along. The old guard wants any new person entering politics to follow their orders while is formed from politicians who want to dethrone them and form their own political 'dyasty'. So they really hate each other. As I said in the previous post, the parties are too new to really have clear love or hate relations with either side in this conflict.

• So, when the Constitutional Court (controlled by ) demanded recounts for the first round of the presidential election, USR were naturally suspicious. PSD would never do something in their favor after all. Then the recounts happened and nothing changed, and ok, if these buttholes aren't trying to frick us over then what was the point? But they still remained tense, because while this move was weird and useless, it's a clear warning that are preparing to mess with the elections. And it turns out they were right to be worried

• After the elections were cancelled people were expecting, you know, stuff like explanations, accountability, arrests, plans to guard against similar shit in the future and other stuff that competent countries do At the beginning things were fine, some heads of the nazi and other far right organizations that threatened with violent riots were arrested, members had their homes searched, and our authorities were working with NATO and EU over the election interferences. For some reason, Georgescu was left alone. But hey, we're still in the early stages of the investigation, we just uncovered this whole russian plot, his time will come right?

• That planned riot was a failure, people didn't show up, some literal nazis were caught trying to enter Bucharest with weapons hidden in their cars, lots of funny shit. The guys were jailed Later released Then grabbed by the police again ...then released for good and allowed to frick out of the country This is some shit, isn't it? Aside from a few r-slurs threatening violence and screaming about the jews on the internet that were fined no one faced any punishment for the whole thing. And no one bothered Georgescu Add the fact that we still don't have any extra information on what happened during the elections and it's once again starting to look like this bullshit is just our own politicians doing stupid shit. But the question is, are they working with Russia or is this whole Russia story just a lie?

• Since they were already paranoid, USR saw the writing on the wall and accused PSD of trying to steal the elections as soon as the presidential ones were cancelled. After all, they were battling Georgescu for the president position, so the cancellation affected them just as much as it affected him. Besides, if the elections were cancelled because of Russian interference, then both the presidential and the parliamentary elections should be cancelled, since Georgescu's unofficial party POT won seats through the same TikTok strategy, but only the elections that PSD lost are being remade. But since they spent so much time during the elections screaming about how dangerous Russia and Georgescu were they now came out looking like hypocrites and were criticised for siding with the far right just to keep their political power.

Trying to form a government - new alliances and betrayals

• Since no faction won a majority for the parliament, our politicians are now stuck trying to make coalitions together. As the parties were branded as traitors the most obvious solution is for and to form a pro-NATO/EU coalition and leave the anti-NATO/EU parties in opposition, right? Too bad they hate each other's guts

• So, the first tentative alliance was formed. PSD + PNL + USR + UDMR UDMR is the party of our hungarian minority and they are big enough to make a difference in the parliamentary negotiations so despite being hated by everyone they are accepted into every single coalition ever. They are the single biggest whores in out politics, but then again I already said they are hungarians

• are starting to accuse our president of being an illegitimate president, since he only kept his position because our Constitutional Court refused to allow a new one to be elected. They said that if he doesn't step down after his term is over on December 22nd he's an unelected dictator. USR agreed with them. Once again, they were criticised for preferring to side with the extremists over working with their political rivals.

• Multiple embarrassing slapfights happened while all parties were trying to negotiate their coalition. USR came with an 8 point political reform program and said that if it's not accepted in full they will abandon the coalition and join the in the opposition. While their plan was good, their unwillingness to negotiate it while they were already hated by the were obviously not in their favor. Ciolacu, leader of PSD , insisted on being named prime minister, but PNL told him that his embarrassing failure in the elections (couldn't even enter the second round) alongside his disastrous economical policies during his last term made him unfit to be placed in the same position again So PSD decided to grab their toys and go home and told everyone that they'll join the parties coalition. This was a problem since they are the biggest party in the parliament so them joining means that they can form the government together. They said that they will make sure to only vote pro- NATO/EU proposals but no one trusts them, so... shit

• PNL decided that if their brother party isn't in the coalition then they'll back off too and soon after UDMR threw in the towel too. So, that will leave only USR and some minority parties in the coalition or what? In the mean time USR went to the president to complain about his unconstitutional mandate extension. They refused to stand up when he joined the meeting room, he didn't shake their hands, they told him to resign, he said no, and the whole thing lasted three minutes in total. Meeting ended after

• But plot twist! Not even a day after 'resigning' PSD told everyone that they were joking and that they'll still form a pro-EU/NATO coalition and invited all the other parties to negotiation again... aside from USR who were thus officially kicked out of the coalition. PSD + PNL + UDMR can form a majority together, a barely there majority true, but still a majority.

• USR threatened to not vote the new government, probably hoping that the in-party rivalries will destroy the barely there majority and will force the other parties to re-invite them in the coalition. Instead, convinced 20 parliamentarians from AUR to vote for them, and now we finally have a government!

• Ciolacu was named prime minister again, and with USR out of the picture PSD controls most of the country again.

Lmao wtf is going on?

• After this childish political battle more and more people started to accept that the real coup was done by PSD Again. EU, confused that there is evidence that Russia messed around our elections but also sniffing bullshit, keeps harassing TikTok for investigations. In the meantime America praises our decision to cancel the election every few days. At least someone is happy with the situation?

• Obviously now, when things started to calm down, it's the perfect time for another bombshell to drop! A journo group announced that they have proof that PNL paid for Georgescu's campaign! At this point people weren't even shocked just exasperated and done with the whole circus PNL denied it and said that they paid a firm to promote their campaign and that their money was instead funnelled into Georgescu's campaign. Really?

• Still, things don't make sense Georgescu's campaign was massive, with millions of bots and dozens of sites involved, the cost alone must have been way past what PNL paid, and multiple countries confirmed Russia's involvement. We're still missing a few things here

• Trying to patch all the information... PSD wanted to promote AUR to split USR's anti-establishment votes and lower their winning chances. Realizing this, PNL then decided to promote Georgescu as a way of splitting AUR's far-right votes so that PSD's plan will fail. But at some point Russia decided to promote Georgescu too to stir chaos and/or coup us and massively blew up his popularity. PSD was too busy with their schemes to notice anything and gave some of their votes to AUR in the first round, accidentally kicking themselves out of the second round. Georgescu and Lasconi won the first elections because these two r-slurs were too busy fighting each other. That's why our secret services and didn't react to Georgescu's raise in popularity, they were involved in the whole mess too and now they didn't know how to swipe everything under the rug as much as possible.

• Still, Georgescu was a problem and something had to be done, so they had to sound the alarm and call NATO's help. Russia's plans were stopped PSD , until now disappointed that they lost the presidency and their hold on the parliament was severely diluted, realized that they now have an excuse to steal the elections and get their control over the country back. They couldn't do any bullshit with all the NATO/EU eyes on them so Russia's interference was like a gift send from God Himself into their laps. So they talked with the Constitutional Court to annul the elections, all with our allies panicked blessing, kicking Georgescu out of his top position for now, caused one heck of the mess during the coalition negotiations, and managed to kick out USR too PNL just shrugged and went back into allying with them, while and parties were left defeated and screaming in the dust

• Another theory here is that, after messing up and accidentally promoting Georgescu on top on the race with Russia's help, parties wanted to let him win the presidency and join forces to control the parliament and block any dumb shit he wants to do. Especially since he has some ideas similar to Trump, so maybe they'll get along or something. But Biden's cabinet insisted that we do something about it so the elections were cancelled. Unfortunately, now people around Trump, like his son and Musk, are bitching about Soros and democracy, so what do we do? America might still get pissed at us Now wait, we have an idea! We'll just do nothing against Georgescu himself, we'll postpone the new elections and any investigation until Trump steps into the White House and if he still wants Georgescu as president we'll just let him candidate like nothing happened while blaming everything on Biden and his people and things will be fine

Current situation

• So, right now we still don't know what exactly is with Georgescu He seems to be both with our glowies and with Russia. Mostly probably PSD will try to negotiate with him until the new presidential elections (somewhere in spring most lkely) and if he seems like he can be reasoned with (read, he'll listen to their orders - and ) he'll be allowed to run, if not they'll just get some institution to forbid him from running again PDS has not only gotten more power, but will also get bolder in their bullshit next elections since the population didn't react to them stealing the elections in any way, so why not do it again?

• Out of all the parties, AUR started to work with PSD the most. It's expected that the rest of them will be pushed out of politics one way or another until AUR will become the far-right controlled opposition to PSD. A few parliamentarians from the other parties are already two steps away from getting kicked out of their new positions because of different cases opened against them in the past (corruption, defamation, antisemitism, and other shit). USR is marginalised ever further, and seems like they'll even lose their anti status-quo party to AUR

• parties and their supporters are still screaming about how the government is illegitimate and try to get people to protest them, but since it's cold and most of us are doing the last minute preparations for Christmas they don't have much any success

• But there's still time for other plot twists to happen, so who knows what the future will bring?

The (second) revolution that never was

• Quick funny thing that didn't fit in the main post So, two weeks after the elections were cancelled, Georgescu's voters finally realized that they were dunked on by the establishment and decided to actually carry out a violent revolution We're serious this time guys, we swear! So they threatened to gather in the streets with axes and bats if the president doesn't step down after his mandate expires on December 22 Like with all of the shit that happened until now, this was massively promoted on TikTok

• In the mean time, in order to calm down the far right rumours that EU couped us in order to force Romania to enter the war alongside Ukraine, our (old) government used it's last days in office to approve two laws: one where Romania can now down foreign drones flying over our airspace, which could be used as a potential escalation against Russia, and anther one where foreign generals from allied countries can take command over our army. Yeah, totally not suspicious at all and will definitely calm everyone down (Last one should be called the 'America take the wheel' law tbh )

• To prove to everyone that they are hardcore patriots willing to die for their country at any time, our brave revolutionaries panicked that our new NATO army will break their bones if they start shit and stayed at home. No one turned out to even protest peacefully So that embarrassing episode ended without any bloodshed

All right, last two things:

• our diplomat in America said at some point that our secret services work hard to gather data for CIA, fifth largest contributors actually. This will totally calm down all those conspiracy theories about glowies and us being a NATO colony

• First shit our prime minister said after taking his role was that we are ready to fully support Trump's peace plan for Ukraine, so if at any point EU plans to keep supporting Zelensky after America bows out of the conflict they should start planning on how to do it without us

So true

I even made a mapping tool to make it easier to make new maps.

Comrades! Please do the funny and offer high salary jobs to American engie whitoids of every stripe and settle them in your copy cat Euro style towns.

"That won't work!"

Sure it would! They've already done it before with Bong pilots to great effect and great seethe after firing them for diversity quotas.

C'mon Xi, you got this! Also, I want cute outfits on cute asian girls
