As /who/'s fourth age has progressed, the Pink One has become a more prominent part of the public zeitgeist with many places in the nation treating her as a figure akin to a goddess (though anyone hoo makes a definitive statement that she is or isn't one herself can expect to look down multiple barrels at once for different reasons). An air of optimism for the future has also generally swept over the nation, and many believe her greater activity in the Heavenly Layer has led to /who/'s relative prosperity.
As a result, much of Hoomanity has begun enacting certain rites as a way to give their thanks to her (and perhaps in some cases, as an act of devotion). These, much like most things in /who/, vary depending on where they take place, but most towns do something for her. The most common of these is the act of writing letters to the Pink One and sending them out to sea or at least down the nearest river. Theologists have discovered in recent years that she heavily associates herself with open waters and especially the cetaceans that live there, which has led to many viewing these as culturally important and in need of greater protection so as to please her.
One would think this practice has led to a nationalization of Orca Protection Ordinances, but this is not the case. On the contrary, most of the coastal towns have either lifted or eased these ordinances, which has led not only to research and observation of V-fluke pods from more places than just the capital Tytopolis, but also the adoption of another act of Devotion to the Pink.
Hoomans in these places, when they see fit to give their thanks to the Pink One, come together to make bouquets to be given to pods. This has naturally led to a surge in greenhouses and florists among these communities. When flowers are in short supply, they give rice instead.
Tytopolis itself does not do this. What their people instead do is write messages of thanks along the city walls in what they call not just an eternal testament of their faith in the Pink Angel, but also as a reminder of the Republic /who/ was, a pledge to restore it to its former glory, and most importantly a gesture of giving thanks the Nameless One Herself for all that She has done and the resolve of Hoomanity to continue to carry out Her will.

Not sure atm whether this would go in the history doc or the "Pink One and Other Miscellaneous Figures" doc. Currently leaning toward the latter.
And now I step away to shovel snow. When I get back I'll mull over whether to use Reinhardt's Heroes map sprite and the original WARposter's image for the corresponding constellations or use some other art. Taking requests if there's a piece anyone here wants used as reference for either of them.
Probably not going to implement this, but is it safe to assume hopium and copium as concepts were not carried over to Viti? I noticed they were mentioned in Vitubia but there doesn't seem to be any account of them. Again, I have no immediate plans to reintroduce them. I'm just asking out of curiosity.
>>108876342Hoomans recognized a person from a conventional name? Truly a high honor! Very few people have earned that treatment! Most of the people whose names were kept public were outsiders that had prominent roles in other nations (generally heads of state or a few especially prolific diplomats). Unless I misunderstood it, that would suggest Grimm's reputation is on par with those figures. Cheers, Grimm's player. Your former character is considered by a whole country to be on par with a king.
