btw, do you intend to change things abt The Sphere in TAOB? because of yknow…. Ladd Ehlinger’s whole… incident?

Yeees. Plus i do not want to get sued if i publish this. The fact that he's dead-but-not-quite is still gonna be there probably - in og fic i dont think its really even directly said why half his face exploded, anyway. But i dont even know when im gonna get back to writing this. ive been way out of it!! gah!!

[2d-dreams]

I do want to apologize again for dragging you and your other followers into my personal grudge. It wasn’t fair or reasonable for me to do that to anyone, let alone one of the flatland creators I look up to.

its ok

[2d-dreams]

you can now buy the 2024 summary of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, either digital copies from itch.io (including PDFs, Epub, and an editable document so you can change the font size to whatever you like best), or a physical copy from Lulu.com

And as always here's the masterpost of all the Flatland media I've found.

[2d-dreams]

Oh, here's a flatland thing you might have missed -- have you seen the Flatlandia 1982 animation now has english subtitles? :D

Oh!! I havent seen!! I'm banned from youtube on my phone but I gotta go watch this when I can!! Yay!!

[2d-dreams]

Fine. You want me to present myself? Fine.

I’m not trying to “stir up drama” I’m trying to get people to break away from a toxic and unstable person.

I admired rjalker, you know?

But I didn’t agree with everything it said.

So. I tried bringing up my grievances.

Instead of a rational debate that would be expected of a level-headed person, I was met with the equivalent of a “nuh uh”.

I was publicly called a genocide supporter.

If you really don’t think that’s a bad thing, by all means, go ahead.

I dont remember if I got the posts sent to me but when I can I guess I'll look and see for myself. I'm sure there's like, a misunderstanding here. I dont think calling someone who doesnt support genocide a genocide supporter is any good, no. But its easy to get misunderstandings in the internet. Like now, it all seems so.. like we're characters in a show!!

Im not braining enough. I cant say more to this, other than rjalker has been a nice person to me and as far as I've seen. I think it blocks very freely, so there is little chance for you two to properly talk it out and thats why I'm getting caught up in all this?

Why are people expecting a 17 year old from Mexico to know about the intense and complicated electoral situation of America???

While In my opinion, not voting Kamala Harris would make things much worse for those currently in America. (As, it increases the risk of Trump, an equally as terrible person being elected, as he is both a Zionist and a Christofacist. Which, unfortunately happened.) it doesn’t matter now as the election is over and-

2D is unlikely to know how the intensity and gravity of America’s political atmosphere at the moment. They are barely online, and when they are it’s sporadic. And I’ve known them for years.

You cannot expect them to catch up on current events. Much less events occurring internationally. Again, this is American politics, not Mexican ones.

And this is not me condoning any democratic candidate nor the Democratic Party (the political faction Kamala is associated with.) I am an anarchist and wish to see the current system be dismantled.

Word of my dad

[2d-dreams]

oh also i have probably developed actual psychological issues as a result of rjalkers actions

Its a funny little domino line now. Take care of yourself <3 And thats not good. I feel under attack with this whole thing but if you need someone I'm someone? Um. What else am I suppose to say to this

Feel free to not publish if you just want the relevant info without more obnoxious anons chiming in,

Just as an explanation for the "drama causing anon" (most likely acrossdimension) for american politics at least:

Long story short: the current Democrat Administration has been directly involved in genocide and war crimes in Palestine (and surrounding counties )for at least the last year, refusing to comply with international law by withholding weapons being used for war crimes and instead spending over 17 billion us dollars on military aid to a country currently committing genocide.

There has been multiple massive protests across the country to try to sway the administration to stop sending weapons for war crimes and genocide, and the politicians in power have only doubled down on their commitment to 'protecting' the country that is commiting genocide and stealing land in an illegal occupation by the UN's own ruling,

A ruling which is unenforceable because the USA, corruptly, has the power to singlehandedly veto any UN measures it doesn't like, even if every other UN country in the world votes to pass it.

The social movement that anon was referencing in the "Rjalker told people not to vote for kamala" was a movement led by Palestinian Americans to vote for a third -party candidate in protest of the administration's support of genocide.

Even with that movement, most people still voted for the current administration to be re-elected (Kamala Harris is currently Vice President and was running for President) and voted against Trump, but Trump still won because some 52% of the country voted for him, not because 0.1% of people voted for the green party instead of the blue party.

Its not acrossdimension. They show themself off anon and I suspected. Will send out the asks received in a bit. Thanks for the info, I think I got that at least.

your ignorance will be your undoing.

not knowing what’s going on is the prime way to fall for misinformation and propaganda.

I'm.. sorry for being severely mentally ill and living with such restrictions that I have to access tumblr through a drawing app or school computer mid-class..?

Its not that I have "bigger problems" I'm sure people have bigger problems than I do but.. It isnt super easy for me to go finding whats right or not in the first place.

Add neurodevelopmental thing that makes it actually really hard for me to grasp certain things in the second place. I am easy to feed misinformation or propaganda. I'm not just "quirky and hates noises" autistic. With that and my parents kind of breaking my entire ability to think properly, whatever I had left of that, these things are just very hard. Please be patient with me.

I do know at least the basics of whats going on, at least..?

In the third place (which I've been meaning to make a better post about in here) I've been really really really struggling like mentally. I know its not an excuse for anything but politics and all these things that are going on with you and my friend are not only hard to understand BUT very feel-bad. As much as I'd like to give up and get worse and die, I have to take care of myself because if anything goes wrong with me, my parents are going to hurt me. And more restrictions. And god knows what else. Mom threatened to stab me. I NEED to at least act like I'm fine and there's already too much going on!! I'm sorry.

[2d-dreams]

I think you should ignore asks about rjalker, it feels like someone trying to stir up drama to me.

yeah it seems so. Havent gotten more yet. Byezies.

[2d-dreams]

rjalker said to not vote for kamala. you know. trump’s only opponent.

ah ok. While i dont super agree im also not informed and also not american so . okay! rjalker is still my friend because it is my friend. i know things are very complicated, there is in rjalker no supporting of trump or wanting of mexicans like myself to explode so. what are we trying to get at here.. not get me involved too much in politics thanks i actually dont have the brainmatter for it

[2d-dreams]

oh well then i suppose rjalker’s political actions won’t matter to you unless you want to go to America, in which case its careless speech is a reason that you’ll probably be unable to.

i dont know anyone's political actions i just know trump is bad and hates me. I'm confused.

[2d-dreams]

are you american?

I'M MEXICAN!!!! I say it a lot !! Why ask!!?

[2d-dreams]

I don't think the new people would be mean or anything, they mostly just seem to ignore anything besides the shipping art, so they'd either most likely not interact at all, or they might decide to actually engage with the story and interact positively

True , im just easily scared and eager to impress. I want too much to do the perfect things. Hence why TAoB rewrite sits untouched, for a year now.

[2d-dreams]

Yay for masterpost!

Yay for summary!

Thats another thing, some people may be willing to read up, but nowadays ppl dont (at least, the majority ive observed) they dont like to read much.

Ehlinger's film is at best "haha look at this crazy film its kinda funy and very weird" but should not at all be THE FLATLAND THING. Yknow how? Same goes for whatever they pull out of Book of Bill/etc. Much less considering that Bill is a character known to lie. A lot. And I still remember being so disappointed when I read Flat Dreams, with no attempt at bidimensionality.

I kinda wanna go back to my talks of specbio and such at least, or the technology or whatever, but im not at my prime. It was nice back then when i wasnt mentally destroyed and i was a bit of a celebrity in this once tiny fandom. Now plus all the stuff going on, i feel a bit nervous of what these new people will think of me.

I do really really hate it when people act like misogynistic men must all be gay because that's the only reason they'd hate women.

A)Why are you being homomisic like that. Why do you think gay men are more likely to be misogynistic? Why do you think not being sexually attracted to women is what leads to systemic oppression of women?

B)just. seriously what's wrong with you. Why are you like this. Why do you want to ignore the fact that cis straight men are the ones who invented and uphold misogyny and the Patriarchy. Why do you want to insist that the only way they could hate and oppress women is if they're secretly gay. Do you have any idea how much of a bigot this idea makes you.

You do not understand how any oppression works at all if you think this way. Especially not misogyny.

[2d-dreams]

im gonna be ill, rjalker, im gonna be ill!! this sucks! ive seen this happen with other fandoms a lot.. devolving into just.. shipping mostly. Like rain world (BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE game turned into "haha the sewer rats are lesbians") (also got reminded of hamilton which was shipping REAL FOUNDING FATHERS.. OK..)

ive been kinda away from here but i did kinda notice at the least that a lot of people were suddenly interacting with my things, i figure not as much as with others because i never did any shipping beyond billux which in its fic itself is not super overt + pol is an oc (should i be glad TAoB hasnt been turned to shipping hell with something like Shape x Sphere or whatever? shrug)

Its a huge shame people are here just for ships now. I'll miss the specbio and discussion. now the most i get asked abt this beautiful 2d world is how shoelaces work. they dont have shoes.. or feet even.. wuh.

off mr ehlingef i say nothing, i will have to read up.. terrible!

nowadays i think its the problem thag people find it easy to take things very unseriously. Its not BAD to be a bit silly, as bad as i or a few people may feel about seeing a thing we love go.. unproperly appreciated? BUT sometimes it goes too far. Its so normalized sometimes. I have issues getting thoughts to words. I hope im getting it across.

I do really really hate it when people act like misogynistic men must all be gay because that's the only reason they'd hate women.

A)Why are you being homomisic like that. Why do you think gay men are more likely to be misogynistic? Why do you think not being sexually attracted to women is what leads to systemic oppression of women?
