The Blibdoolpoolp

The Blibdoolpoolp is the south-eastern region of the Labyrinth of Trash. It is east of the Screaming Square and south of the Blasted Field.

Template:Deity
**Blibdoolpoolp** (also known as the **Sea Mother**) was the deity worshipped by the kuo-toan race. Her symbol was a lobster head and black pearl.

Blibdoolpoolp usually took the form of a 20 foot (6.1 meter) tall nude human female, with a lobster's head and claws in place of humanoid parts. At close range, her gaze caused insanity. Blibdoolpoolp's realm was a small moonlike temple drifting in The Fated Depths.

## History and Relationships

The Sea Mother was warped by her hatred of the surface-dwelling races that drove her children into the depths in the ancient past, and brooded over her people while plotting revenge. It could be inferred from this that she had no allies among the surface deities, and possibly none at all.

## Clergy and Temples

Template:Unreferenced
Priests of the Sea Mother were called "whips" and wore pearl-colored vestments, shell helms, and draped themselves in nets as part of ceremonies. Her holy day was the new moon, and rituals were held in underwater shrines. Gems, pearls, humans, and lobsters (her sacred animal) were sacrificed to her monthly.

## Divine spells

The spell *touch of Blibdoolpoolp* gave the caster the ability to turn their hand into a large claw like a lobster.

## Lyrics

Nie wiadomo gdzie jesteś teraz

Nie wiadomo jak zgubiłam cię

W radio słyszę wciąż te same słowa

Bez ciebie obok mnie

Straciły już sens

Czas wkrada się pomiędzy nas

Ja jestem tu

Ty jesteś tam

I powoli budzi strach

Ja jestem tu

Ty jesteś tam

Na koniec świata

Zabierz mnie dziś nim obrócimy się w pył

Tylko daj mi jakiś znak

Nim przeminie czas

Na koniec świat zabierz mnie dziś

Jeśli mam w nieznane biec

Chce znów poczuć cię

Nim obrócimy się w pył

Nie wiadomo czy chce pamiętać

Nie wiadomo co tu spotka mnie

Obiecałeś mi że będziesz czekać

Gdzie ukrywasz się

Po co w to grasz?

Czas wkrada się pomiędzy nas

Ja jestem tu

Ty jesteś tam

I powoli budzi strach

Ja jestem tu

Ty jesteś tam

Na koniec świata

Zabierz mnie dziś

Nim obrócimy się w pył

Tylko daj mi jakiś znak

Nim przeminie czas

Na koniec świat zabierz mnie dziś

Jeśli mam w nieznane biec

Chce znów poczuć cię

Nim obrócimy się w pył

Na koniec świata zabierz mnie dziś

Nim obrócimy się w pył

Daj rękę nie myśl o tym nie

Do jutro nic nie zmieni mnie

Do siebie moje słowa weź

Nie zastanawiaj się

Czas wkrada się pomiędzy nas

Ja jestem tu

Ty jesteś tam

I powoli budzi strach

Ja jestem tu

Ty jesteś tam

Na koniec świata

Zabierz mnie dziś

Nim obrócimy się w pył

Naš Puĺs Bjecca

**Naš Puĺs Bjecca** is the selection method used by Belarus for the Origin Song Contest, which has been running since the third edition of The Origin Song Contest.

## Background

The national selection was initially launched with the goal of improving the Belarusian results in the contest after IOWA failed to qualify on the country's debut in the second edition. In order to ensure that the Belarusian entry would be received better in the contest, international juries from many competing countries were invited to vote for a winner - along with the country's televote.

## Artists

Artists who have participated more than once in the competition.

## Language statistics

Six languages have been heard in Naš Puĺs Bjecca to date. Whilst Russian is the second most used language in the competition no song in the Russian language has ever won Naš Puĺs Bjecca. In the first, second, and fourth editions there were no linguistic restrictions, but in the third edition only songs in the Belarusian language were allowed, sparking protest and controversy but increasing the number of viewers with 10-15%.

### Winning languages

 Russian
 English
 Ukrainian
 French

## History

### Edition 1.3

*Main article: Naš Puĺs Bjecca 1.3*

## Notes

1. ↑ Zhuk left the band Sonika in early 2013 after forming what would become Naviband together with Artem Lukyanenka, but agreed to compete under the name of Sonika with her former bandmates specifically and only for Naš Puĺs Bjecca, and The Origin Song Contest if they had won the selection.
2. ↑ Valery Yaskevich competed with two entries in the same edition.
3. ↑ If counting appearances as a songwriter, Uzari holds the record for most participations in Naš Puĺs Bjecca, having composed the music for Angelina Pipper's winning entry "Dziva" in the third edition, and Valery Yaskevich's "Ruch" in the fourth edition.
4. ↑ Chuu also stars in the official music video of "Toi et moi" performed by Parade of Planets - the winning entry of the fourth edition, alongside her bandmate Yves (Ha Sooyoung).

"*Paw du paw du du dah*"
― As heard in "I Still Believe" at The Origin Song Contest 03

**Belarus** debuted in the second edition of The Origin Song Contest. The Belarusian broadcaster, BTRC, is in charge of the country's participation at the contest.

## History

Belarus did not participate in the first edition of the Origin Song Contest, but despite this, the contest gained a sizeable following in the country. Because of this, Belteleradio decided to enter in the second edition. IOWA were internally selected, and chose their song "Moi stikhi, tvoya gitara" to represent Belarus. They were predicted to finish dead last in the entire contest, but finished 12th in the semi-final, receiving a total of 34 points (including one set of 12 points from Ukraine).

For the third edition, a national final was held to improve the country's chances of qualification. The national final was named "*Naš Puĺs Bjecca*" which translates into "Our pulse beats". (Read more on Naš Puĺs Bjecca 1.3.) ZØYA won the national final and went on to compete in the first semi-final, where she finished sixth and qualified. She placed seventeenth out of twenty-six in the final, despite having been predicted to finish 3rd overall, and receiving one of the best average rankings in the previews of all time.

In the fourth edition, Naš Puĺs Bjecca was renewed, and the next edition was named "Naš Puĺs Bjecca 2.4", and the numbering system was invented. The two refers to edition of the national final, and the four refers to the fourth edition of The Origin Song Contest. Eleven acts were hand picked after live auditions by a professional jury panel and the other auditioning artists.

Naš Puĺs Bjecca continued as a selection method for the fifth edition of The Origin Song Contest as well. However, Naš Puĺs Bjecca 3.5 came with a special twist, requiring all entries to be performed in the Belarusian language.

Naš Puĺs Bjecca 6.8

**Naš Puĺs Bjecca 6.8** is the sixth edition of Naš Puĺs Bjecca, the national selection of Belarus for the eighth edition of The Origin Song Contest.

## Before the competition

The format of the national selection, as well as Belarus' participation in The Origin Song Contest 08 were confirmed in a video message featuring the head of delegation, released on 7 January 2020. There are no major changes in the selection, apart from the fact that the final may be using 100% jury vote.

### Hosting details

Further details were confirmed in a press release on 9 January 2020, where Belteleradio announced that the heats will all take place in the 600 Metrov Studio in Minsk (where the first two editions were hosted) to save money. This news was received with protests, as the typical live audience for Naš Puĺs Bjecca heats is much larger than what fits in the studio. The tickets to the three heats sold out in less than a day. The host venue for the second chance and final has not yet been decided.

### Rumored participants

KATTIE (Kaciaryna Rudnickaja), winner of the previous edition of Latvian X-factor has been sighted near the Belteleradio office in Minsk. Lera (Valery) Yaskevich, who has participated in two consecutive editions of Naš Puĺs Bjecca, hinted on her Instagram stories that she may be interested in giving the national selection one more try. VAL, the runner up of Naš Puĺs Bjecca 5.7, have hinted that they were invited to compete this edition, but have neither confirmed nor denied their participation.

## Incidents

### Before the contest

#### Potential withdrawal

Due to the uncharacteristically late Belarusian confirmation, rumors that Belarus would not be able to afford participating after hosting the seventh edition of The Origin Song Contest were wildly prevalent, domestically and abroad.

#### Agata Dziarma Dziarmagowska to represent Belarus?

Before Belarus confirmed its participation in The Origin Song Contest 08, Polish criminal Agata Dziarma Dziarmagowska was sighted multiple times near the Belteleradiocopmany's headquarters. This led to rumors that the Polish hacker and convict would fund Belarus' participation and potentially represent the country herself.

#### Venue and ticket controversy

The announcement that the 600 Metrov Studio in Minsk would yet again host NPB sparked controversy, as the live audience for previous editions has been much larger than what would fit in the studio. Despite multiple boycotting campaigns from different groups, the tickets sold out in less than 20 hours, and are currently only available on second party vendor viagogo for 2000 BYN per person and show. (This is roughly twice the average monthly income in Belarus.)

## Notes

1. ↑ Due to a miscounting of the Czech votes, the total points of Dzivia were shown to be 101 points. However, this was amended after the results were revealed.
2. ↑ During the final TAKAYA was shown to have received a total of 156 points, but this was due to an error in the counting of the Czech votes, which was later amended. She still won with a 35 point margin.
Latvia in The Origin Song Contest 04

Latvia took part in the fourth edition of The Origin Song Contest, which was hosted in Cologne, Germany, with the song "Red Flags" by Laura Rizzotto. The entry was selected through the national selection, Supernova 4.
