No amount of letter writing has persuaded my lawmakers, but one thing has slowed them down:

Showing up in numbers that can’t be hidden or explained away. Marching in the streets. Testifying by the hundreds. Letting lawmakers know we see them and we know.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

🌩️ Meet Et'in Os: The Unpredictable Force of Nature! 🌧️

This god commands the elements, bringing the nurturing rains of spring and the chilling winds of winter. Et'in Os is often blamed for unexpected pregnancies during stormy weather but is equally celebrated on sunny days.
#MyArt #Artsky #Art
🌩️ Meet Et'in Os: The Unpredictable God of Weather! 🌧️ ☙Characteristics❧ Patron Saint of farmers and sailors. ☙Summary❧ Promising Seasons don’t always mean promising weather. From wind and rain, to droughts and forest fires, there is only one entity who has their hand in the sky. Etin’Os. For a god who has the respect of every farmer (and sailor) who ever existed, Etin’Os isn’t very popular elsewhere. Some people like rain, some don’t. “Damn Etin’Os and this rain!” But he works in tandem with his counterpart Narus, spring needs rain, summer needs sun... And he blows the cold winds to chill the world and put the children to bed. People also blame Etin’Os for the many pregnancies that occur during times of bad weather. Couples get snowed in, they come out with a baby next spring. But he is thanked on warm sunny days though. Someone has to be moving the clouds... People born under Etin’Os’ star are attributed: >Unpredictability (can have quick tempers) >Higher chance to intimidate >Can be deceptive in their words and/or appearance >Capriciousness >Greenthumb (plants and crops tend to grow better) Svalstone: Hematite and Smoky Quartz Colors: Gray, Silver, Smoke, White

🌸 Celebrate Ceru: The Goddess of Forgiveness🌸

Known for her immense strength and forgiveness, Ceru's story is one of resilience and empowerment. Despite enduring hardship, she taught the world the value of a woman and the power of forgiveness.
#MyArt #Art #Artsky #EmpireOfIce #Ceru
☙Characteristics❧ Goddess of forgiveness and resilience ☙Summary❧ There once was a woman named Ceru who was married to a great warlord. She birthed him many children. But the warlord was not a kind man. He would beat his woman whenever she birthed him a daughter. “I am precious, I’m not a sin. I am a woman giving beautiful life to beautiful offspring. I am a living temple, no one can take that from me. Therefore, I forgive you, for your foolishness.” After years of daughters the warlord decided Ceru was not worth breeding, and unceremoniously killed her. After the discovery of their mother, all of Ceru’s children killed the warlord. “In life and death, she forgave him for his behavior. Teaching all men the value of a woman and the importance of her body and soul.” -Bishop Deris Rylen. Many women and men believe in the power of second chances and forgiveness. The goddess is an inspiration for many young girls, and lots of girls were given the name “Ceru” in her honor. The bishops and scholars argue if Ceru was a real woman or just a silly story. But true Wintermen revere her as a goddess, whether she was real or not. People born under Ceru’s star have these attributes: >Very Loving >Very Forgiving >Caring >Empathetic >Nurturing (make good parents, nurses, doctors, primary school teachers) >Family Oriented >Non-Judgemental/Open-Minded >Friendly >Increased Charisma >Increased Resilience >Reliable >Higher Inclination Towards Matters of Spirit and Spirituality (make great clerics, priestesses, bishops, healers) >Good With Animals and Creatures >Resistant to Depression and Sour Moods >Increased Healing Time Negative Traits: >Often Targets of Abuse/Violence (forgiving to a fault) >Weak to Poison >Weak to Curses >Wound Easily Svalstones: Rose Quartz, Blue Lace Agate Colors: Pastels (pink, lavender, grey)

🎭 Ganis: The Patron of Mischief and Trickery 🎭

Ganis, the patron of Mischief, Trickery, and Beguilement. Known to appear alongside any of the fourteen major gods, his influence is like two mirrors facing one another, creating infinite illusions and endless possibilities of trickery.

Ganis - Patron of Mischief, Trickery, and Beguilement ☙Characteristics❧ Mischief, Trickery, Beguilement ☙Summary❧ In the annals of divine mischief, Ganis, the patron of Mischief, Trickery, and Beguilement, holds a special place. Revered by those who revel in the spirit of merriment, Ganis is a versatile deity known to appear alongside any of the fourteen major gods of the pantheon. Magicians and performers, as well as thieves and highwaymen, alike carry the pendant of Ganis, seeking to imbue their crafts with his cunning influence. However, Ganis is a double-edged deity, as his presence can also bring about confusion, sow seeds of mistrust, and instill a paranoid sense that he is always lurking, ready to play tricks upon the unsuspecting. His influence is said to be akin to two mirrors facing one another, creating an infinite illusion, reflecting the endless possibilities of trickery and deception. Despite his unpredictable nature, Ganis is honored with a day of celebration known as the Festival of Pranks, where adults and children alike engage in playful tricks and practical jokes. It is a time when the boundaries between jest and deceit blur, and the spirit of Ganis is invoked to inspire laughter and amusement. Yet, amidst the revelry, there are whispers of caution, for those who invoke Ganis's name must tread carefully, lest they fall victim to their own mischievous machinations or become ensnared in the web of deceit spun by the cunning god.

🖤 The Fallen Rulers of Vulsria 🖤

Emperor Chyleon and Empress Aereth shaped Vulsria with strength and ambition. Aereth vanished when Lermesian was young, and Chyleon’s tragic death left a lasting mark on their son. *read more in ALT text*
www.empireofice.com
#MyArt #Art #EmpireOfIce
Emperor Chyleon Volohushckosin Chyleon Volohushckosin, the late Emperor of Vulsria, was a ruler remembered for his charisma, compassion, and unyielding sense of duty. Known for his golden locks and piercing blue eyes, Chyleon presided over a golden age for Vulsria, earning the admiration of his people for his steady leadership and genuine care for their prosperity. However, his reign was not without its shadows. The mysterious disappearance of his wife, Empress Aereth, when their children were young, marked a turning point in Chyleon’s life. Once a vibrant and confident leader, he became more cautious and withdrawn, deeply protective of his son, Lermesian, and his daughter, Amecia. Those close to him noted a growing weight on his shoulders, though few could guess the extent of his inner struggles. Chyleon’s death, ruled a suicide, sent shockwaves through the empire. The loss of such a beloved leader left a void that his young son, Lermesian, was forced to fill. Yet, whispers of doubt lingered in the halls of the palace—questions that no one dared to ask aloud. To this day, Chyleon’s memory looms large over Vulsria. His legacy of strength and ambition lives on in his son, even as the circumstances of his death remain a source of quiet speculation. Empress Aereth Volohushckosin Aereth Volohushckosin, the wife of Emperor Chyleon and mother to Lermesian and Amecia, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in Vulsrian history. Known for her raven-black hair and ember-like eyes, Aereth was a woman of striking beauty and commanding presence. Her influence on the empire was profound, as she was not merely a consort but a visionary who sought to guide Vulsria into a new era of strength and unity. Aereth was deeply ambitious, a trait that often set her apart from others in the court. Her sharp intellect and bold ideas earned her both admiration and quiet resentment. She was a master of diplomacy that turned rivals into allies and skeptics into loyalists. Yet, her unyielding will and fiery disposition alienated some, even among those closest to her. She was a woman who inspired devotion and fear in equal measure, a force to be reckoned with in a world dominated by very powerful men. Her disappearance, when Lermesian and Amecia were still children, left the empire reeling. Despite exhaustive searches and countless theories, no trace of Aereth was ever found. Chyleon, devastated by the loss of his beloved wife, refused to believe she was dead, forbidding anyone from speaking of her in the past tense without proof. To him, Aereth was not gone—she was simply waiting to return. For her children, Aereth’s absence was a wound that never fully healed. Lermesian, in particular, grew up under the weight of her memory—her teachings, her expectations, and the haunting void she left behind. Her influence shaped the man he would become, for better or worse. Aereth’s story is one of brilliance and tragedy, a tale of a woman who burned brightly in her time and whose absence continues to shape the fate of Vulsria.

🌌 Ziranos: God of Sky & Dreams 🌙

Guardian of the stars, sun, and moon, Ziranos guides dreams and direction. Pray tonight for good dreams under the aligned heavens. ✨
*more in alt text*
#art #MyArt #EmpireOfIce #Ziranos
Ziranos: God of the Sky, Dreams, and Direction Ziranos, one of the fourteen gods of The Known World, is the enigmatic deity of the sky, dreams, and celestial guidance. Often confused with Et’in Os, who governs weather and clouds, Ziranos holds dominion over the movement of the sun, the phases of the moon, and the twinkling of the stars. His influence extends beyond the heavens, reaching into the realm of dreams, where he is said to guide the subconscious minds of mortals. Depicted as a hooded figure cradling the moon in his hands or accompanied by four dragons—each representing north, south, east, and west—Ziranos is also revered as the god of direction. Navigators, cartographers, and travelers often pray to him for safe passage and clarity, trusting in his celestial wisdom to light their path. Ziranos is deeply tied to the night, his presence felt most strongly under starlit skies. Families hang dream charms bearing his crescent moon and star symbol over their beds, believing his favor will bring peaceful dreams and ward off nightmares. His connection to dreams has made him a figure of comfort for children, with mothers whispering, “Pray to Ziranos tonight for good dreams,” as they tuck their little ones into bed. The god’s gender remains a subject of debate among scholars and bishops, as Ziranos is always depicted in a robe that obscures their form. While traditionally referred to as male, some argue that Ziranos transcends gender, embodying the boundless expanse of the sky itself. Ziranos’ influence is celebrated in both practical and spiritual ways. He is honored by astronomers and dreamers alike, his name invoked by those seeking direction, whether across the seas, through life’s trials, or within the labyrinth of their own minds. Under his watchful gaze, the heavens align, and mortals are reminded of the vastness of the universe and the dreams that guide them forward.

Tavia Laakkonen, Empress Imare’s devoted handmaiden, is a ray of warmth from snowy Kenwyte. Her unassuming charm leaves a lasting impression, not only on those in the palace, but throughout all of Aereth City. ❄️🐎🌱 *alt text included*
#art #EmpireOfIce #Tavia
Meet Tavia Laakkonen- A Light In Maidenhall ❄️🌿🕯️ Raised on a sprawling horse pasture in the snowy mountains of Kenwyte, Tavia grew up surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature and the warmth of family bonds. Her days were spent tending to the land, caring for the horses, and wandering the frost-dusted meadows, where she always seemed to find the first bloom of spring or the ripest berry hidden beneath the snow. Her gentle touch and keen intuition with animals made her a natural caretaker, earning her the trust of even the most temperamental stallions. Now serving as Empress Imare’s handmaiden in the bustling courts of Aereth City, Tavia’s sunny disposition and warm demeanor are a breath of fresh air amidst the intrigue and tension of palace life. Though she remains blissfully unaware of the admiration she inspires, there’s an undeniable charm in her quiet grace and unassuming nature. Despite her innocence, there’s an unspoken strength within her—a resilience born of snowy winters and long days in the saddle. Tavia’s connection to the natural world remains a quiet comfort in her new life, a reminder of home in a world that often feels anything but familiar. And though her journey is just beginning, the complexities of court life may yet test her in ways she never imagined.
