How could Mexico have become a republic after independence rather than an empire?

I’m writing an alternate timeline where Latin America is stronger and Mexico becomes a global superpower. Is there any way that an independent Mexico would begin as a republic rather than a monarchy? Also, is there any way that Augustin de Iturbide would have agreed to be president rather than emperor, or would someone else (such as Guadelupe Victoria) step in as Mexico’s inaugural president?

If Mexico won the Mexican-American War, would the American Civil War have occurred?

I’m writing an alternate history timeline where Latin American nations form a European Union-esque alliance following a successful Congress of Panama in 1826, leading to a much stronger South America, Gran Colombia not collapsing, and Mexico becoming a superpower. In this timeline, Mexico wins the Mexican-American War, but I was wondering if the American Civil War would have occurred if Mexico was still large. I planned for this timeline to feature the Confederate States winning the civil war and remaining oppressive until a successful revolution during WWI. Would the American Civil War and the Confederate States have existed if Mexico was still large.

My version of Doors entities - Part 4

Here is Part 4 of my (reimagined) versions of Doors entities. Let me know what you think of them.

  1. ⁠Seek - I tried to make Seek look more monstrous and less humanoid. I also took a lot of inspiration of Seek’s appearance in The Foundation, a Doors fan game.
  2. ⁠Sally - Like Seek, I tried to make Sally much more monstrous. This is one of my favourites.
  3. ⁠Hide - My version of Hide looks mostly the same as the original. I’m not a big fan of my design, and I have pretty much no issues with the original Hide.

What’s going on with Pressure?

I started playing Pressure two days ago and now I’ve heard there’s controversy. What happened, and is the game being discontinued?

My version of Doors entities - Part 3

Here is Part 3 of my (reimagined) versions of Doors entities. Let me know what you think of them.

  1. ⁠Jack - For Jack, I mainly removed all of the dark shadows around his face. I also gave him lighter-coloured eyes.
  2. ⁠Figure - I tried to give the Figure a more monstrous and less humanoid appearance. I’m not sure how I feel about its stance.
  3. ⁠Grumble - Grumble was mostly modelled after my version of Giggle and Screech. I gave Grumble longer tentacles because I think it makes it more realistic and scary. This is one of my favourites. By the way, I won’t draw Queen Grumble since it’s pretty much the same except for its larger size and scar on its face.

  1. ⁠Giggle - My version of Giggle was mainly modelled after my version of Screech.
  2. ⁠El Goblino - I made El Goblino look more animal-like, and I took inspiration from aardvarks for the face.
  3. ⁠Jeff - For Jeff, I tried to come up with what Jeff really looks like. I made him more like Screech in appearance, though he is more friendly. This is probably my favourite.
  4. ⁠Halt - Halt looks very weird and very different from the original. Since Halt is basically just a ghost, I decided to have my version be a human face. For the face itself, I took inspiration from the face of the CPR Doll (the Unknown Woman of the Seine).

My version of Doors entities

Here are my (reimagined) versions of several Doors entities. Let me know what you think of them.

  1. ⁠Rush - I reimagined Rush as a skull since I he vaguely looks like one. I’m not overly happy with this, so I might redo this drawing.
  2. ⁠Ambush - Ambush looks mostly the same, though I tried to make it look more skull-like and emaciated.
  3. ⁠Screech - Screech also looks mostly the same, though I made his tentacle arms longer and more octopus-like in design.
  4. ⁠Dupe - I tried to make Dupe look more monstrous. I decided against adding its hands since I struggled to get the right shape. His hands were meant to look slightly like those of a chimpanzee, but the fingers would be longer and clawed.

Let me know what you think. I’m not sure if I should colour them and if they should look different, especially Rush.
