Just letting you guys know that unless a decision is made in the future, Burhouse is to remain on indefinite hiatus.

We want to thank you for everything, and I personally appreciate how kind you all have been on this blog.

This is the end of Burhouse, though if you’re lucky enough to see us or know who we are you may be lucky to hear more of the story, but publically it will come to and end.

I, Windows, would like to let you know you can get more bursona and sootbur content from my current main account @rgbheart. I have plenty of aus there, and more on the way.

Dialup wishes to remain anonymous for personal reasons, and if you do happen to know who they are it is encouraged to simply forget that you know. Please respect their wishes.

Again, thank you guys so much.

This is Burhouse, signing off.

Hey guys, sorry! We’re going to be on hiatus for awhile.

Who's ticklish out of the burs?

Walter: Well... don't tell anyone I told you this. It's Milo. He will start laughing just by the smallest of pokes. I reckon he'd be crying within seconds if you kept it up.

I've heard from Blue that Casper is a contender... and a surprising report about General. But you didn't hear these findings from me.

What's more annoying, mosquitos or flies?

Bec: Oh mosquitos are the worst. Harbingers of the apocalypse I swear.

They carry around so much fucking disease in an already awful wastes... and that was there. Here they're just annoying? They still kill people too.

Bec: Flies are just annoying, and if you stay clean you can avoid them. You can't avoid those damn bloodsuckers, they're awful.

[burhouse]

you guys have hinted at some of their deaths, any more to share?

TW for descriptions of character death!

Here's just a few! Feel free to ask about deaths unmentioned here if you're curious about any in particular.

Under the cut!

General was assassinated by Punz during his election day. The shot hit him straight in the head, and there was a panic. There was never a chance for Quackity & Schlatt to combine parties as the assassination attempt happened before the readings. Due to the events, the parties of Pog and Swag came together and ran into hiding just outside of L'manburg, worried others may become targets. General doesn't know what happened after his death.

Milo slipped and fell off of his sky ship while saving one of his pet hens. Falling off is a common occurrence and usually he is caught by one of the Skygods, who place him back on the ship. He fell too low, deep into the void, and when the hands tried to scoop him up, they hit a wall. He'd fallen too deep. It is questionable on whether he actually died or not, but he woke up on the couch in the apartment all the same.

Ishmael was booted off the edge of a cliff by a goat named aptly named Schlatt while scouting for his bird wife. He hit the rocks in the water below and by the time she'd scooped him out, he was already gone. She carried his body to a long off boat so Gunk would know what had happened to his dear older brother. He got a proper sailor's funeral, not that he'd know.

Bec was caught in a raid at the dome. He'd gone during a risky time because members of his group had been running low on supplies and he didn't want them to make a supply run. He was caught. He was outnumbered and he was looted for all he had at gunpoint, including his rad gear. The air itself burned yet he didn't beg. He was shot point blank because he refused to give away the members of his group's location. He feared they'd be raided of all they had too. He doesn't know if they're safe.

Casper got in a rough and nasty fight with Ranboo over concerning contents in a book he'd found in his home, and in general Ranboo's attitude towards everyone. The fight was serious but not to the death, not intentionally. Casper had run out of hunger as Ranboo had wacked him in the middle, sending him hurdling into the sun. He never got to warn his family about the book. Ranboo hadn't actually meant to kill him, but Casper doesn't know such a thing.

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late! Remember our askbox is always open :)

How is Jared?

Jared: I’m… well it’s none of your damn business. Mind it. Ask someone who can give you a good answer.

[burhouse]

...any strangeness happened about Food in this household?

Like, something not being edible, or stuff y'all didn't know existed

Jared: Oh all the fucking time. Tiptup digs through the trash like a heathen, a wild animal. There could be perfectly good left overs in the fridge and he'll dig in the trash for a half eaten apple or something. He also eats raw meat.

I try cooking for... at least some of these guys.

Bec: I never... really got to eat fast food before... or anything much not in a can, so it's been... really nice. I can't believe these guys though... they just- throw out so much sometimes.

[burhouse]

It’s not uncommon, that if one of the burs were to wake from a nightmare in the dead of night, and head to the kitchen for a warm drink or something comforting to eat, that there would be someone else already there.

Nightmares haunt this place like shadows haunt a bar, after all.

Conversation is easier at night though, and its not uncommon that if a third person were to wake when the world is all but dead outside from quiet, that they would find life in the kitchen, over a glass of water and maybe a bowl of something that was, at one point, warm.

bees?

Johnathan : I love them. They are very fluffy, and huggable, like flying dogs. I wish we had them here.

Walter : Flying dogs?

Johnathan : Yes?

Walter : How- bees aren't as big as dogs, John.

Johnathan : They aren't? I always thought they were.

[burhouse]

When Jared first arrived at the apartment, he was a raving mess of a terminally online husk of a man. The first step to fixing this of course was removing his internet access, the second was time, the third was Tiptup.

Tiptup, while not entirely responsible, did argue a lot with Jared when he first arrived, which is of course a stark contrast to their current close friendship. It worked out for the best though, as while Tiptup is not entirely responsible for Jared expanding his world view, he did beat a fair amount of sense into him, and continues to at times.

Though, that being said, these times are becoming more and more infrequent.

do people in the house have specific nicknames for others?

Blue: Oh! Of course we do. Though I don't know all of them... some of them are personal I'm sure!

I call Casper a ton of things! Mostly it's just to see him light up like a lantern! Those don't have much... deep meaning other than silly names! Like batty-bear! They're just offhanded petnames.

Blue: We do have more personal ones! He sometimes calls me his sapphire or a gem.. he tries to be all romantic. It is really sweet. I usually just default to Casp.

Though I am definitely sure others have personal nicknames too! I just can't think of them off hand. Maybe ask some of them?

did milo ever have to deal with heat exhaustion? i feel like staying in direct sunlight with no repreve for so long can't come without consequence

Milo: Oh... I don't think so! Though it actually isn't too hot above the clouds. It's actually quite chilly.

Whenever I got really hot I'd just take my jacket or even shirt off and that would be enough.

Milo: But I had plenty of water. I had to deal with sunburns more since well... there's nothing blocking the sun! Which is why I would cover up so much. It's strange being below the clouds, but the shade and the rain is quite nice.

Also, I didn't not have cover. I had my own hut and plenty of shade and off buildings. I had a ship afterall. It was shotty sure, but a ship is a ship.

[burhouse]

does milo still believe in the skygods?

Milo: Of course I do! I don't know why I wouldn't! I've seen them with my own eyes. They... care very much for me.

I hope they're alright. I hope they're not too sad I'm gone... oh dear I hope my animals are alright.

Milo: I know they'll wait for me. They're very patient. And I am too. However long it takes I am... I'm sure I'll see them again. I have to.

[burhouse]

i'm not sure if this has been asked, but how do you pronounce everyone's names? 'cause i know there are some that are quite easy to know, just by looking at the spelling, but some of them confuse me just a tad, heh- ,,💌

Here’s some of the ones we thought may have been the hardest to pronounce? This is how we pronounce them (just said y’know faster, instead of syllable by syllable or whatever!). If there were others, please let us know!

Ozymandias/Ozy | Ah-zee-man-die-us/ Ah-zee Milo | My-lo Ishmael | Ish-may-el Becquerel/Bec | Beck-qua-er-el/Beck Aeronaut | Air-o-not Teufor | Too-for

hey ishmael, shanty fact from this reality! did you know stan rogers actually hated his song "barret's privateers"? bc it was just something he whipped up with his buddies one night, whereas his other stuff had a lot more effort, but barret's was the one that he was always expected to perform. (i think that's a testament to his talent though, that a song he wrote one the fly became one of the best known shanties in history)

Ishmael: Aye, that's how it goes, isn't it? I find shanties created while living in the moment or drinking with your friends are the the ones best repeated.

You can't just force a good time.

Hello, I've returned with more puns for Ishmael!

How do fish find partners? They hook up!

How do fish buy things? With salmoney

What do fish usually say for goodbyes? Sea you later!

And this one with special dedication: What's Ishmael's favourite fish? A Beckerel!

I will return with more puns :)

Ishmael : Aye, thank you. I might have to steal some of those. They're pretty good. You’re right about my favorite. 

Maybe try to tell some fish some puns, you know they do know what you’re talking aboat, most the time.
