That WAS funny. Chuckie going mad, the Brit kicking his balls with a smile...
Oh man.
Oh man.
Whatever AI generator those images is immaculate because those are the most British looking people I’ve ever seen
Persia just chilling in the corner as the rest of the world either goes totally mad or gets involved in a nuclear religious schism.
Inb4 weird Zoroastrian jihad means they take a Loomie nuke to the face
I'm still deadset on my headcanon that he has (and ignores) a daughter who ends up usurping her brother and, with the rise of Caesara (Caesarin?) Napoleona, turns the build-up to apocalyptic war into the largest catfight in human history 😂
OUR LADY ELIZABETH, JEV SPEED THY JUDGEMENT!
Maybe he'll actually let Immanuel live a quiet life and become a pastor out in Nowheresville, so that he doesn't end up like Marcus Steele-- running up against a more Fluidated guy and dying for it. Or like Chuck himself, running into a "better" man and having to kill him. At the bottom of his heart, beneath all his coping, Oswald does wish things could have been different for him.
Or maybe Chuck will accept that Manny doesn't have the Presidential grindset, but try to push him into being Rev-Col instead, so now the kid has to figure out how to actually inherit Graham's madness
HE KNOWS
Maybe part of him wants to make up for his own childhood by being a better dad than Joe Sr.
Well, that was quite the Christmas update. Lovely chapter.
Probably among the best black comedy in the TL so far.
For a second I thought you were trying to make some ham-fisted unsubtle attack on people that supported OTL Brexit or something like that, and that you were dragging in recent real life politics into your TL. I was unironically going to call you out for it.
But then I remembered the whole context behind it, and I realized that it is just so utterly alien to OTL's issues, and there's so many layers of irony, satire and black comedy going on here, that the only thing I could call you out for was giving it a name suspiciously similar to an otherwise unrelated real life political event people might still have strong opinions on.
Someone should try to read the MAD Show transcript with Joker's soundtrack from the Dark Knight:
And this chapter was almost as lovely as the last.
Damn, Williams is going hard, isn't it?
Ah, yes, high literature from our President and Atheling.
Boy is seven and has more self-awareness than a lot of people.
Reminds me of the chinese Century of Humiliation.
You know, Williams can sound really convincing when he wants to. Like, pardon the meme drag in, a calm and reasonable person. There's this weird thing going on when even if I probably should side with Chuck, Williams dialogue is so well-spoken, sophisticated and sharp in contrast to Oswald's rabid ranting that I was quickly siding with him as I was reading. Doesn't help he makes some acute points along the way.
Too bad Aethelred didn't do it that well in the MAD Show.
Uufff.
This.

I am once again going to say that there is a WMIT discord server linked on page one of this thread, under useful links. Among other things, we now have an Oswald emoji pack, with transparent backgrounds, such as Arouswald above. Yes, I really named it that.
Also, Classic Logo Oswald:
Which I think is pretty neat.

Welp, time for yet another massive refugee crisis !
Actually, my mind went places and then thought about South America. Does Petroliana quickly becomes a state not only because it was Immolated early on but because of the boost of English refugees who are told to settle there after the f-up ?

I think he may be one of my favourite characters
He's the one character in this depraved universe I hope makes it through this.
A boy too young to realize the horror around him.
Surprisingly, his dad agrees (despite being one of the worst of the worst).
