One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

reblog to drop a car battery on a post below

[golden-anon]

Yeah. Bad news, buddy. But your battery's dead.

Do I have a battery?

Look around the white void, do you think car batteries would just fall out of thin air on my hair like a cartoon anvil?

to all the other selfshippers struggling with burnout, who feel guilty for trying to recover and let themselves rest: your f/o would want you to rest. they know it's what's best for you, and they would never judge you for being "unproductive" when you're just trying to survive. trust me.

[golden-anon]

oh hey look it's my tags !!

[golden-anon]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!

I realize I had something wrong with the lore for a while.

Kinger didn't make the collars, did he? It was someone else (maybe C&A to prevent them from acting out/abstracting) and he stole code from Pomni in order to remove them. And that got Queenie "killed".

It explains why he feels guilt towards the both of them. He hurt Pomni in order to help his wife, and in the end he made things so much worse.

And maybe he can't give what he took back since it's become one with his code, or maybe he refuses to let go of that power he now has—either because he's power-hungry and feels he deserves it... or because he believes he's the only one who should have that kind of power. He doesn't want anyone else to abstract. He doesn't want to lose anyone else. And letting the others know that it's possible to remove their collars would cause utter chaos.

And now his mind is shattered. Possibly to shelter him from what he knows and to shield himself from the guilt. So he can have blissful moments where he forgets that he's caused so much undue pain.

YEAAHHHH

Jesus christ okay PLEASE hear me out

Celebratory 1k+ post! (+Official Reveal of "Him.")

First of all, before I start, I would just like to thanks everyone from the bottom of my heart. I cannot begin to emphasize just how much it means to me that more than 1,000 of you decided that this blog was follow worthy.

The fact that so many people engage with this blog, whether asking a lore-related question to know more about the world of the AU, to joking around and making me laugh makes my heart swell with pride and joy.

This AU's purpose was not only to tell a story, but to also destress myself from my problems so I can keep my head on my shoulders and keep on living. So to know that many people found this passion project interesting enough, well... All I could really say is...

Thank you.

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share an incredibly canon-divergent story that is so far removed from the original source, it may as well be considered as a standalone project.

Thank you for sparing a little bit of your time and attention (as well as a few braincells) to learn about the characters, the story, the history, and the world of it.

... And most of all, thank you for continuously saving me from the darkness that attempts to consume me everyday.

No one really knows what happens to me behind the screen, and I'd rather keep it that way because I don't wanna be such a downer. Even here, I want to keep things lighthearted so I won't be delving into that.

Besides that, there's unfortunately something I haven't been entirely honest with you guys. Everyone knows about the B.O.S.S. (B.loodthirsty, O.verburdened S.corned S.ouls) roster, and how they serve as the AU's antagonists, but there is a secret character who doesn't exactly fall into that category.

Rather, he's not just a normal boss antagonist. HE'S THE OVERARCHING VILLAIN OF THIS AU, and has been teased since WAYYYY back to the early poster of the Harlequin AU.

You may know this guy as "???" from the roster list, or "HIM" from the answered lore-related asks. Well, for the sake of a celebratory 1k post that won't provide much strain for me, I've decided to reveal who this is.

Now, without further ado, I'd like you all to meet-

══════☸☸☸════════════☸☸☸══════

"The Patriarch of Puppets" - Official design reveal!

"Adorned in silver and reds, The Patriarch of Puppets (or simply, "The Patriarch") is an untouchable and powerful entity who constantly chases Pomni after she finishes a battle with a Boss."

No one knows what the fuck his problem is, But one thing is for sure: he first shows up after Pomni defeats the Skirmish General, and seems to like tormenting the Combat Harlequin by attempting to separate her soul from her heart and inflicting burning agony.

Pomni, in tandem, feels GREAT DREAD even at her first encounter with The Patriarch; she doesn't know why, but whenever he's in her general presence, her entire soul, AND her fight-or-flight instincts screams TWO THINGS: "DANGEROUS. RUN."

Pomni CANNOT fight him to save her life. Her sword hands starts to tremble and she can't move if she's around him for too long. She knows from the very beginning that this is a fight that she cannot win no matter what. He is the Hunter, and she is the Prize.

Bubble also seems to power off instantly and just crash to the ground with no warning, an immediate telling sign that he's already in the general vicinity. He seems to not care about the blimp in the slightest.

His classification is a King Harlequin; 1) a reference to "king-size", 2) a literal one of a kind Puppet, and 3) the tallest of Harlequins that no one even knew existed in the first place.

Just how tall exactly? Well...... here's the updated lineup.

══════☸☸☸════════════☸☸☸══════

I hope that this is a fitting celebratory 1k treat for all you hungry lore eaters and Harlequin AU enjoyers!

Mushy you can't do this to me

Those who like big mama are either simps, have mommy issues, drug addicts, or all of the above

yeah i was gonna say ToT man, girl has TARGETS

Fun fact: Other than pheromones, her persuasion tactics are very motherly... like "My back hurts" "I'm lost" "Could you help me carry these bags?" "could you spare a seat for me?"

She's sort of like a fae in the way... I did't get the chance to say this but you should AVOID saying yes to her at any point. Because the moment you say yes the harder it gets to say no.

something as simple as "Would you like to borrow my pen?" "Would you like some tea?" "do you want to sit down?" DO NOT SAY YES TO HER, IT FUCKS WITH YOUR BRAIN.

you can INNITIATE affection-- if you ask "can I hug you?" you're good. but do NOT let her ask you that!

I imagine that you get that warning if you were a handler in the lab she was put in ToT girl had to be behind glass.

Next freakshow AU fic with out context:

[golden-anon]

Imma be honest—as someone who's been dealing with both severe physical pain AND isolation/mind-numbing routine for the last four-ish days, I'm taking Able's torment 💀

Sure it would be terrible but oh god experiencing pain and humiliation of being injured the way I am rn (severe sciatic nerve pain) but More and Often would break me.

Honestly? I feel like Caine is the lesser evil. Maybe not physically, but emotionally.

I suppose its person-to-person úwù let me try a poll again

Caine - Occasional severe physical and mental torture, humiliation, objectification, but atleast surrounded by people who suffer the same fate.

Able - Severe isolation, lack of free will, endless repeating routine, servitude, gaslighting, manipulation, but atleast youre safe with good food and clothes etc.

[golden-anon]

I'm curious. Tag this with your sexuality and what your favorite M/F ship is.
