  • The closest I can come is blackletter or fraktur scripts that were once used for generic languages. As far as letters go they are silly and overcomplicated, with Latin scripts being far easier to read and more adaptable to different visual styles.

    With that being said, they do have their own old-timey charm and there is something satisfying in being able to pick up a old book in blackletter and read it when you know that most people can not.

    Fun fact: Blackletter was only used for Germanic languages. If a text contained non-Germanic passages it was normal to set those in Latin letters while the rest was set in blackletter.






  • Assuming that the referendum will be fair, it would essentially be a referendum on surrender. Would the Ukrainian population vote in favour of this? They’re losing and would benefit immensely from peace but nobody likes being run over by a foreign army, even if your own leaders are pricks and Ukrainian society has been seeping in fascist Endsieg-propaganda since long before the Russian intervention in the civil war.

    And that is assuming that the vote will be fair, which can not be expected.

    If anything, this referendum could end up as a morale booster to the pro-war camp and prolong the suffering rather than the beginning of a peace process.
