It's shawarma, but from Turkey.

e/ more descriptively, it's sliced rotisserie meat. Usually inside bread, but honestly everything after the rotisserie is optional. Same is true of Greek Gyros.

Also donner is made from minced meats while gyros and shawerma are meat cuts staked on a spit.


Now I imagine that tacquira goku pic but with Solomon.

Donner kebab is basically reconstituted mutton flaps and the food of choice for the indomitably drunk across the UK.

Dave's gonna push that block up with a single hand because he truly loves his children and doesn't want to see them toil and suffer just for him. They'll be all "wow paternum that's so cool I wish we could do that". Of course they can't because they're not immortal god-kings but that won't stop them from trying, even to their own detriment.

Basically Dave's problem is that he rules an entire empire of people with daddy paternum issues.

Don't forget that Solomon David could just will his pointless annual fighting coliseum into existence or whatever, so there's literally no reason for any of his devoted cultists to sacrifice themselves for it.

He has told himself that his people must be self-sufficient so he has built a society run almost entirely by his people instead of himself, but the society is twisted to fulfill his whims rather than benefit its people, and he doesn't even notice.

I'll admit I will laugh, if Solomon David lifts this block into place in like 10 seconds then let's his citizens immediately get back to thier toil.

Ya know, they might be happy because they know about the other 6/7ths of creation and they know they have it better.

Also the idea that his place is hosed up because he did his best job in making it nice and lawful and they immediately twisted their entire society around his example in the worst possible way.

I stand by the position that Solomon David is probably the best demiurge to be ruled by, but it would be much better not to be ruled by a demiurge at all.
All of the prosperity and justice he claims to provide to 111,111 worlds could be shared without the fundamental bottom line of 'I RULE YOU AS YOUR GOD.'

There's a nonzero possibility that Solomon David's empire is on balance better to live in than Earth right now, but that doesn't make it even a little utopian it just means Earth's got some serious issues, and being conquered by SolDave would be replacing them with other issues that seem infinitely harder to change.

you see those shores? I do not believe that Solomon would even dream of letting anyone a single micropellet of plastic anywhere near those things. probably some real choice coral reefs beneath those waves too. and there's no way Solomon would permit something as deadly as a hole in the ozone in a world with 2 suns. so that's 3 things this world probably has on ours

then again, this is the core of his empire. this is probably the jewel world of his entire domain. the rest of the planets might be entire worlds of strictly controlled smoke-chogged hives of humanity. a little like more extreme and sprawling versions of Beijing.

most likely though they are all glorious glittering places filled with bloodied-handed slaves kept out of the sight of the big man.

I wonder if he heard the leader say that they were ahead of schedule, and saw the workers with bleeding hands. He told them to stop because he figured out the exact rate that this building should be built at to be done as fast as possible without injuring people (and possibly causing some other delays by their injuries). Then he punishes the leader for letting them go too fast and getting injured, which may be slowing down the optimal build time.

I base this entirely on that story about how he dealt with the two mothers and how absolute he was with his laws.

Abbadon posted it on the tumblr.


quote:

Very true. I believe the well-known story was that Solomon offered to split the babe in two for fairness’ sake, and when the real mother began to cry, Solomon knew who was telling the truth.

In fact, I was recounted the true story of this incident by a traveling peddler. Solomon was very kind to both women and listened to their concerns, leaving them with the promise of the assignment of a high imperial clerk to their case. The clerk quickly determined in no time at all through the well-organized imperial intelligence service that one of the prostitutes had a liason with a minor but decorated officer of the third legion some time ago. Questioning the officer uncovered very quickly the true identity of the baby’s mother, who were notified and brought to one of the world courts at haste. It had scarcely been a day.

Since lying in the court is a serious offense, the false mother was sentenced and executed later that day. Since copulating with an acting officer is a serious offense, the true mother was sentenced to six months of hard labor, her child was taken as a ward of the state, and her lover, the officer in question, was discharged from the imperial military, had his citizenship revoked, and died of complications from syphilis a year later, or so I hear.

The true mother is doing better, I’ve heard she is a clerk now, and her education was paid for by the crown.

She will still never get her child back.

Tbh the cut itself, mutton flaps, are kind of lovely, but the doner kebap vertical spit kind of makes the whole thing into meat cracklins as (I think??) the fat boils out into grease, it's delicious and will also make you feel like poo poo, esp. if you're also drunk as hell and don't know what you're doing

Jagganoth's armies are an insane combination of mystic warriors and ultra high tech weaponry, because he puts a huge amount of effort into creating the perfect army that will scour the multiverse clean. Right now all of creation is doomed, because without Mammom and Mottom the others don't have enough power to stop him.
