You Don't Ask

**"You Don't Ask"** is a song performed by Patience Roberts (Chelsea Tavares) and Coop (Bre-Z). It was featured in the Season Two episode of *All American*, "Life Goes On".

## Lyrics

**[Coop:]**

What if I told you I was kinda different

And me not loving you for who you are

Wasn't exactly my intention

If I told you I was prolific

Would you believe me or find it in your heart to receive me

If I told I'm this way and I like girls

Could you still look me in my face or would you say some things to make me run away

Would you tell me that I'm sinnin' this ain't gods work

Baby you ain't livin' should I change my ways and try to make you listen

If I turn suicidal and I slit my wrist all on your holy bible

Would you turn your back or would you hold me tighter

If I'm laying in the hearse would you cry because I never wore a skirt

Or you be mad because I didn't tell you first

You don't ask so I don't say nun

You know it's not my style to never say nun

You don't ask so I don't say nun

You know it's not my style to never say nun

Yeah, you know it's not my style (not my style)

Yeah, you know it's not my style (not my style)

**[Patience:]**

I'm never changing who I am

For anyone or anything

You can stay or you can leave

But this is me, this is me

I'm never changing who I am

For anyone or anything

You can stay or you can leave

But this is me, this is me

**[Coop:]**

What if I told you I ain't mean it would you believe it

Would if I told that I'm out here battling my demons

There some things that you'll never understand no

Like how most people where I'm from don't understand you

Like how most black boy joy get destroy

That's by the same system you run to for the award

Its little girls without they father ain't got no momma its sons lookin' up to papa

Cause he just want the higher honor

Well hello your honor I know the lines blurred

I'm just a victim to a story

Missin' my words

You don't ask so I don't say nun

You know it's not my style to never say nun

You don't ask so I don't say nun

You know it's not my style to never say nothing

Yeah, you know it's not my style (not my style)

Yeah, you know it's not my style (not my style)

**[Patience:]**

I'm never changing who I am

For anyone or anything

You can stay or you can leave

But this is me, this is me

I'm never changing who I am

For anyone or anything

You can stay or you can leave

But this is me, this is me

I'm never changing who I am

For anyone or anything

You can stay or you can leave

But this is me, this is me

I'm never changing who I am

For anyone or anything

You can stay or you can leave

But this is me, this is me

Skalien

Skalien was (under the name of XxSkalienPvPHDLP2003Xx) an underground Minecraft and Fanfiction video creator who was also one of the indirect founders of the Shiposting-Empire.

## Origin

Skalien was born on the 23rd of May 2006 and grew up in Leverkusen (a City near Hilden in the Suleiman Universe). Skalien´s real name is not known as he changed his name so early in his life that no one living remembers it. In his childhood, he watched a lot of Anime and YouTube which later made him create his own YouTube channel all about Anime, Manga, and video games. As he got older he started watching a popular channel called "Symmonis LP" which was about video games and comedy. Under one of their videos, he read a comment made by someone called "Kirito SAO" who he discussed about Sword Art Online (an Anime he very much liked at the time) with. They decided to create their own channels and support each other with making videos.

## Name explained

Skalien stands for "the coming good" and is in the Suleimanian Mythology a name only people who will accomplish great things can wear. It says that the children who want to change their name to Skalien all by themselves are chosen to do great things. The name comes out of "Skeleton" to symbolize death and life, and "Alien" as an Alien is something a human cannot understand and is scared but also interested in. That Alien is something a human is scared of doesn´t mean that someone using the name Skalien is dangerous or scary, more of a synonym for respecting someone with the name Skalien.

## Trivia

* Skalien took over the YouTube channel of a friend who before made Minecraft videos on it
* Skalien was an indirect founder of the Shitpost-Empire as he build up the YouTube channel that is today known to be owned by Suleiman (Sultan and founder of the Shitpost-Empire)
* Skalien disappeared on the 4th of April 2018

Valland

During the later Ragnarok Era, Valland is an empire covering would be France (based on the Carolingian Dynasty). This empire was held together by the great king Karolus, whose health has begun to decline at the time of Odin’s march (see *The Mists of Niflheim*). The emperor struggles to hold his lands together, despite pressures from Hunaland to the north and Serkland to the south (in Andalus).

The indigenous peoples of Valland, the Valls were largely conquered by invaders from the North Realms some three hundred years ago. Subsequently, the two cultures melded and were unified into a single kingdom under King Hlodowig. Hlodowig himself abandoned the native religion of the time (Vanirism) after being swayed by a Miklagardian emissary he encountered among the Cadizians (of Andalus).

This led Hlodowig to adopt a variant of the god-emperor worship found in Miklagard, following a deity often called the Risen God. Hlodowig’s faith soon spread throughout the realm, which began to condemn native religions as pagan blasphemy. Eventually, the kingdom of Valland became the empire of Valland as they conquered and subsumed surround lands, including encroaching into Andalus and Hunaland.

## **Inspiration Notes**

In Norse mythology, Valland is the land of Celtic peoples. Snorri refers to this as a name for Gaul, the approach I take here. The kingdom itself is loosely based on the empire of Charlemagne.

Fledermausland

**Fledermausland** is a small country in the south of the Suleiman Universe. It is known for its great number of caves. Because many bats live in this country it is called "Fledermausland". This is old Germaniaistic for "Batland" or "Batcountry".

## Trivia

* "Fledermausland" is home of the famous amusement park "Gayland".
* Because the borders are well guarded the saying "We cant go here. Here is Fledermausland." exists.

## Death

It was so cold and the sky was dark... no light no nothing, it was like they were already dead... But they wouldn´t escape so easy.. they had to burn for the sins their master had done... I remembered them singing as they saw the huge star lighting the whole dark and cold sky... "Denn wir kommen hier nicht weiter hier ist Fledermausland..."

## Reconstruction

After the radiation declined, people started to move back to Fledermausland and rebuilded their houses. Due to the radiation special plants had developed, which grow a fruit known as the Flederberry. Strangely these fruits aren't radioactive. Instead they very quickly lost all traces of radiation. Because of their wonderful taste and the adrenalising effect, the demand for the berrys increased. Fledermausland started to export the berrys and became one of the wealthiest countrys in the Suleiman Universe. After the Reconstruction it was even bigger than before.
