And understanding that situation is partially why no matter how much 🍁 hates 🦅, he can't completely detach and harm 🦅 like others can. It's also why 🦅 is heavily attached and can't bear even a bit of disapproval/resistance from him.

In fact I think in recent years 🦅 reaches a breaking point, and begins to lose trust in his civilization himself and vice versa. His story is a tragic one from the bery start...

His life at some point onwards is just: invents thing to benefit his people → thing gets shut down because it doesn't benefit rich people/thing gets used to kill people instead

Lmao I think it's because he spends too much time hermiting in his labs doing scientific stuff in the recent decades. And it's always more efficient to go straight to conclusion in work contexts, but it doesn't work like that at home

🌵: ok pendejo, let's practice talking smart. What do you think I am?
🦅: (A great protector, someone with awesome tastes in music and cooks delicious food.)
🦅: food.
🌵:

🍁: so you do fantasize about annexing me
🦅: (they appear in my mind as intrusive thoughts but they should never and will never be a reality, our relationship shouldn't be destroyed now, at least not like this.)
🦅: ...at least not like this.

🌵: stop thinking smart but saying dumb things wey

🦅: what are they like
🍁: big...powerful...Gigachad
🦅: sounds about right
🍁:
🦅: they're little kids, aren't they? I can read you like a book
🍁: each of them probably powerful enough to punch through a building
🦅: worthy successors✨

🦅: successors? can they at least share cleaning cooking or rent
🍁: they can't interfere with reality yet
🦅: use--less---
🍁: don't make them hate you
🦅: they already do, I know those lil sh*ts well, we originate from the same humans and land😏 nobody hates me more than myself😏
🍁: (sigh)

🍁: maybe if I do it quietly enough and not think about anything...
🦅: (from the other room) I can hear you right now--
🍁: at least pretend you didn't 💢💢💢

That was the ultimate love confession in suicidal language. Bro was this 🤏 close to accepting it lool

🦅: should be enough for them to not spy on our privacy
🍁: what did you do
🦅: I just put a view of you smiling and staring into all the cameras, can't wait to see their faces next Monday
🍁: would that be enough?
🦅: you have no idea how creepy you look doing that

But disregarding politics, the main reason is that he freezes over in winter and ice is brittle. Yes polar vortex -50 Celsius mega storm dark souls final boss, but he could also lose an arm if you throw a rock(don't do that)

So the incarnation runs on a relatively thin supply of patriotism and unity compared to what I've seen in average Latam countries. add the fact that 🍁 is a democracy and is less likely to hold onto territories by force like 🦅, we get an incarnation with a significantly smaller hp bar 🤷

🦅: (texts ex-wife 20 messages from 12pm to 6am)
🍁: (leaves him on read)
🦅: he still checks my messages✨

Maybe the reason why I still have empathy for normal people down there
