Question 4, Weekend Mini League 3

Poland is a nation with a variegated history, from the atrocities committed at the camps of Birkenau-Auschwitz to Oskar Schindler’s humanity and even the world’s first official mention of vodka.

Along with this, the catholic punching bag of Europe also has stunning art. One of the most famous pieces is that of a court member, X. The piece is notable for the emotion, Y, being experienced by X. This juxtaposition has led to the creation of several memes using the piece as a template.

Question 1, Weekend Mini League 1

X Y started off by being a sign of masculinity and good social standing in 17th-century Europe. Around the same time, in another part of the world, it was being used by slaughtermen to prevent blood from making contact. More recently, the figurehead of a brand that eventually expanded into a multimedia franchise with video games and movies can be seen permanently posing as if they are sporting it.
Wearing X Y, the utility of which has been traditionally related to horseriding, has been found to cause lower back issues. A region whose symbol is an olive tree is popularly known as the Y of a European country famous for its cuisine and art.

Winter QoTD #15

In most renditions of emoji X, it is made to resemble a very famous Symbolist era painting; also considered as a Mona Lisa for these modern, anxious times.

The artist has painted this piece in 3 different forms one of which has been stolen twice now. The painting features an unusual hue for the sky which scholars have interpreted to be due to the geographical setting or a psychological reaction to an event in their family.

The artist merely saw it as a call from nature.

ID X, the emoji.
