Twice upon a Velvet Pink Moon: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Stanned Loona
  • TWICE upon a VELVET PINK MOON
    or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Stanned Loona
    (where I put K-pop idols in governmental positions because I ran out of ideas a long time ago)

    w3FQBFI.jpg

    Some Notes:
    • The idea came about after Erin suggested a President Chou Tzu-yu for China (and also dragged me to the loonaverse). Things quickly spiraled out of control after that.
    • The Chinas and Koreas are united. How? Magic.
    • The PoD is that Section 44 of the Australian Constitution doesn't exist. This solves both a) Rosé's dual citizenship and ii) what the PoD is. How does the non-existence of Section 44 lead to all of this? Butterflies. Also magic.
    • and of course, don't take this seriously; I don't claim to know the political inclinations nor ambitions of any K-pop idol ever.

    • Yes, I know there are issues re: citizenship and all that...
      ...they are handwaved and ASBed away

    Twice upon a Velvet Pink Moon: 2036 Korean legislative election


  • 4AH0Lus.png

    no lore, just vibes

    but basically Liberty Korea, the main conservative party got wrecked following the impeachment of President Lee Seung-hyun for... scandals. The youth vote gets swept by the Mugunghwa Party, a social democratic anti-establishment party that seeks to upend the traditional two-party system.

    This timeline exists in the same world for Twice upon a Velvet Pink Moon except this one has considerably less K-pop idols. Instead, you have a Philippines that got independence in 1945 (no Japanese invasion) and turned parliamentary republic!

    Things... happened between 1983 and 1984.

    Hi! Long time no post, but I've got a few projects up and running, so without further ado, here's Sa Kuko ng Liwanag (In The Claws of Light), where the Philippines gets reformed after a more successful (yet ultimately failed) Novalés Revolt (which seems to be a popular PoD for PH TLs), with insular and mestizo governor-generals across the 19th century. Further reforms and rising tensions in Cuba lead to a short-lived 1898 Revolution as the Spanish reluctantly grant the Philippines independence (well, with the Philippine crown still held by the Spanish king).

    The Philippine trudges on to the 20th century, but rising political violence and tension leads to an uneasy 20s as the Philippines reels from the assassination of a prime minister and rising far-left and far-right movements. Tensions reach a peak with the Socialist Workers Party gaining a plurality of seats in the 1925 elections. A coup sanctioned by Alfonso XIII leads to the Philippines entering a dictatorship for six years. However, tensions in the home country see the unpopular king getting ousted after Spain goes through its own dictatorship era. As Alfonso XIII and the royal family escape to the Philippines in hopes of better fortunes, more independently minded Filipinos decided now is the time to break themselves free from the shackles of Spain. And thus, the long, nearly 80 year long Philippine Warring States Period begins...
