Serlis Tialo the Herrmann's sea cucumber

that's me.

and that's what my fursona species looks like.

-

I have a fursuit of my oc by the way. It kinda looks like an all over blanket.

But unlike my local fursuit wearing rival, My fursuit has a bulletproof and stab proof lining.

Bizarrely on more than one occasion it's come in handy. The fisherman here are like some sort of private militia.

For context, I'm a potato farmer in Micronesia.

Sea-faring is in my blood. I've survived several local disasters.

Also I qualified for Ninja Warrior and got pretty far if I do say so myself.

Peachtree '71, but you can call me Will

Your AF Tumblr sexyman is here.

What you see is what you get, at least for the real me, but yeah also my persona's powers are rooted to the bone.

Tree powers.

I can sprout branches and roots, and that means i can grab things remotely, and i can kinda stick to surfaces.

I can also transform people and animals into trees, and i can transform trees into- you get the idea.

Aside from that I'm ruthless and pretty competent in a fight.

Oh yeah and I'd die without sunlight.

That part's kind of a bummer.

[yavik-mas]

Bio

yes it's my real name, it's old Swedish. i also go by the nickname "Yoro".

My persona goes by the same name and is known as the humble god, a servant to people, not a king or a dog.

they're a wind golem that resides inside a stick figure made of metal pipes.

they wear rough yellow pants and matching robe with a brown leather belt.

i don't have any art of them, but they kinda look similar to the Hastur from the Love Craft collection.

i assure you it's a coincidence. i mean they're just a guy in yellow robes so-

they are the former leader of the Air Clan in the Aggregate Fiction series, as well as a former Diit Council member.

they were subdued by attackers of unknown colors and buried in the concrete foundations of a building in development in the small town of Diegoltun, which is South-East of Olrit in Monstera of South Island.

For decades the Air Clan kept the throne empty and kept everything ready for Yavik's eventual return not knowing the fate that had befallen him.

In time their poor management because of this lead to their power and influence dwindling as other clans swallowed up their territories.

Every Air Clan member would pray daily for the return of their humble leader and after Diegoltun was destroyed years later Yavik was finally free to return to his beloved clan.

It couldn't have been better timed if they tried.

The attack on Olrit (which included Diegoltun) had sparked a Ten Alliance War across the Albion map.

Time for the 'old man of the desert' to rise again and free the world from tyranny.

[deviant-fish]

who are you, why do you have so many bot accounts. Stop bothering us, none of us are a part of ekas.

Luckily the message has got out across all platforms by now. I can totally remove the warning message now.

I don't need to explain who I am to you in particular, since you've already been told on multiple platforms, and via my admin, business and personal email, because you just can't stop finding new ways to stalk me.

But for anyone who is not yet aware of that, who will read this message after you share it, Hello, My name is Akira AKA Deviant Fish, and I am the admin of a group known as The Fish Army.

The Fish Army is a community for people with an affinity for fish, whether they have have a fish persona, they work in marine wildlife preservation, they keep fish as pets, etc.

Within our community we do not approve of people who see fish as primarily a source of meat, which is the reason you were banned, by the way.

It's literally the very first rule, and you broke it in less than the first full sentence you typed, you little troll.

Outside of The Fish Army, there are other online communities people are part of. I assume what you mean by "bots" is other people who have screencaps of the character creator with the character they play as in the Aggregate Fiction MMORPG.

There aren't many games out there where you can play as a variety of fish, and since there's over 1000 species in that game, there's a few fish in there, so I play that game with some friends of mine.

The AF community has something going on right now to do with the vore community.

I took part in a bit of it this year, so this is the first time I've been involved there, I'm a pred by the way.

A few days ago, some visual novel game developers, released a bunch of vore games, around 30 I think, where I was a pred character in it.

Also my character build in AF has become a template there, so people can now play as me or modification of my character design.

It comes with a little story mode about me, like every template has, and people think it's pretty cool.

Since my character has magnetic powers, I also founded a community known as The Order Of The Blue Croissant, which is about how magnetism works as well as a bunch of magnetism memes, and members are encouraged to have their own characters that manipulate magnetic forces in some way, like a superhero thing.

As for my character themselves, they are a non-anthropomorphic silver trout, with human-level intelligence, that has mechanical limbs strapped to their body, and a mask that allows them to breathe water, while they are above the surface.

I have 2 big rivals/friends known as @scandium-sacer-laser , and @yttrium-yiger-microwave , who each run rival groups to The Blue Croissant, however the 3 of us form a group known as Team Beam.

The 3 characters that form Team Beam, my persona, Scandium's and Yttrium's, were modded into Sonic Heroes as a replacement for Team Dark, my persona being a swap of Rouge, Scandium's a swap of Shadow, and Yttrium's a swap of Omega.

I'm not exactly into the Sonic fandom that much, but it seems a lot of people know my persona from the mod.

I'm more active around the superhero scene, mostly Marvel stuff in particular.

Some people recognise me from the Lancaster superhero convention.

I'm the one in the space suit, that has the holographic visor, so it looks like my helmet has a fish in it, instead of my head.

For those that have seen the photos, yes, I really am super short, Asian genes did a number on me.

I have been harassed by members of Eka's Portal in the past, simply because my persona is a fish, and they started spam messaging me, saying that fish should be prey.

I was not even a member of that community, they just followed me around the internet, spamming me on every social media platform.

The Eka's Portal admin was responsible for this, and apparently they went on to harass other members of The Fish Army, as well as other players of AF, using the excuse that the several thousand people, were all the same person somehow, despite the fact they posted photos of themselves, and had hundreds of livestreams, many of which showing multiple people on screen.

You can see why people were quick to suspect you, especially since you seem to be making the same arguments as before all from the same IP address by the way, under the erroneous belief that a VPN can hide your IP from technicians, when in fact VPN's only block it from bots.

You have attacked mine and AF's community, regular as clockwork, every year around this date, without fail, since the year 2015.

Stop being a big child, find some meaning in your life, and find something else to do, that you will enjoy more.

Does that answer your question?

[ashwraite91]

My persona is a character from Aggregate Fiction. They're the son of king (formerly prince) Shichi who goes by the name Versus. I have permission to use this character from the makers of AF themselves.

Ash is not the first FTM character in AF or part of a select group, the frequency being the product of an extremely long running series, however they are the only FTM character where their gender plays a major role.

He idolises his father though Ash himself grew up in an adopted family. At first Ash didn't even know his own blood relation to Versus, but on meeting Versus in person Ash realised they must be Versus' child.

Ash later falied to prevent the destruction of the Daigol district of Olrit City. The nuclear bomb's design was abnormally counter-intuitive. Curious. This was part of a larger plot by the nation of Meddia (as far as we know).

Now despite taking a nuclear blast to the face Ash somehow survived. He already had the ability to manipulate both Quantum and Energy element. In AF this is unheard of because these abilities directly conflict with each other. After the blast Ash'es abilities were enhanced and he gained a healing factor.

When the universe was being reset, Ash used his powers to try to prevent it. He didn't succeed but he caused a massive disturbance in the process. It's believeed that it was this that allowed some to retain their memories.

There's a lot more to the story but these are the basic elements.

Literary Sites and Links

Because I’ve got a lot of time on my hands (finishing uni tends to have that effect), I’ve been trawling the literary web of late and fishing up some great sites and links that you might want to have a look at or use. 

Especially for those of you who don’t have ready access to bookshops and/or libraries, these links include places where you can read contemporary fiction and poetry, and be exposed to a range of critical analysis. You’re all probably familiar with The New Yorker and the Paris Review (which are excellent sources) but some of these are not as well known and certainly worth your time.  

Another thing: I’ve yelled about RESEARCH INTO FORM since starting this blog, and all of the below sites are good places to help you critically read and think about your chosen forms. 

General

Lithub - A great all-round resource that both aggregates online literary content and produces its own pieces (whether that be fiction, criticism, commentary, interviews, features). 

Longreads - does what it says on the tin: a curation of long reads (usually 2000+ words) pulled from the most popular and dustiest corners of the internet for your reading pleasure. They’re not all literary, but you’ll definitely come across the occasional author interview or feature on writing. The real appeal of longreads is the sheer variety of subjects, sourced from your usual suspects (Paris Review, New Yorker, etc.) to your “wait, they do journalism too?” places (Vanity Fair, Racked, GQ, etc.) - so if you spend some time combing the archives, you’ll likely find     something relevant to your major.  

Magazines/Journals

32poems - a site that does prose too, despite its name. 32poems is a magazine that, well, publishes 32 poems per edition. Some of them you can read online for free (for example, Adrienne Su’s Ancestors). Make sure to check out their interviews and reviews too! 

apt - literary journal publishing fiction, poetry, essays and interviews. There are plenty of short stories and shortform pieces to peruse from all 24 editions (yup, all online and all for free), so knock yourself out.

Asymptote - for all your translated prose, plays, and poetry needs, plus interviews, criticism, essays and more. I love Asymptote so much (was a big source for my major) and it’s just very [clenches fist]. 

The Believer - bi-monthly mag that publishes interviews, reviews and essays. Used to be owned by McSweeney’s (see below) but changed hands two years ago. It can take a bit of digging to find the good stuff, though worth a poke-around on a rainy day. (I do recommend Leslie Jamison’s essay The Empathy Exams)

Catapult - book publisher that also publishes an online magazine of narrative nonfiction and fiction. One of the few places where personal essays are still thriving (take Jia Tolentino’s word for it), and where the writers are mostly young women, and young women of colour at that. 

Entropy - wide-ranging mag that’s both literary and non-literary, featuring reviews, essays, creative nonfiction, poetry and interactive literature, among other things. (It also recently put up a list of publishers, magazines and journals you can get stuck into) 

Granta - nonfiction, fiction, poetry, art, interviews; Granta is a well-established literary quarterly. Like most other magazines here, only select pieces are free, and for full access you must be a subscriber. 

Guernica - a magazine of “global art and politics” that publishes fiction, poetry, political commentary and more over a huge range of topics, from  Education to Technology & the Future, spanning the entire world (Africa, Americas, Asia and Oceania, MENA). Has a large fiction and poetry archive you could spend an entire weekend in. 

Lapham’s Quarterly - a history-focused magazine that “brings up to the microphone of the present the advice and counsel of the past”. Each issue features literary quotes and extracts, essays, charts/maps, and more. You can browse back-issues in their online archive (for free!)

The Millions - online magazine covering books, art and culture. Does feature articles and book reviews.  

n+1 - print and digital journal of literature, culture and politics. Your best bet is to browse the Online Only section using the “fiction and drama” or “poetry” tag. Their political coverage is great too, so if politics is your thing (leftist politics in particular), then stay awhile. 

Nautilus - sci-fi/fantasy writers, have at it. Nautilus is where science, culture and philosophy meet, and yes, they publish fiction too. There’s a mind boggling number of topics to meet your niche needs. Artificial intelligence? Cryptography? Computer science?    Microbiology? Nautilus has you covered.

Terraform - part of Motherboard, itself a part of Vice Magazine. This is another one for the sci-fi folks; Terraform publishes “speculative fiction honing in on the tech, science, and future culture topics driving the zeitgeist.” 

The Walrus - time for something not American, eh. The Walrus Magazine is a major Canadian general interest mag that publishes long-form journalism, essays, fiction, poetry, illustrations, and photography. Take a gander at the Fiction section for fiction, poetry, and memoirs.

Links

Brainpickings - a one-woman endeavour, brainpickings is the brainchild of Maria Popova and a hub of thoughts on how to live, drawn from multiple disciplines and often including insights from literary figures. 

Electric Literature - features essays, books, short stories, poetry and more. (You must be a member for full access to their archives) 

Hazlitt - longreads, fiction, interviews, poetry, comics and more over a wide range of topics from emerging and established writers. The fiction on offer is extensive and diverse. 

McSweeney’s Internet Tendency - a personal favourite of mine that I often consulted in my own EE2 research. Does satire and humour in short, sharp bites, and is an all-round delight. McSweeney’s also publishes a quarterly magazine (the Quarterly Concern) that you can find at Kinokuniya. 

Book Reviews

Australian Book Review - the ABR publishes reviews, commentaries, essays, and new creative writing. It’s a major player in the Australian literary and arts scene, and certainly worth a quick glance at minimum. You can find a couple of short stories and prize-winning pieces for free on the site, but for full access to the online archives you must be a subscriber.

Los Angeles Review of Books - you’ll want to focus on BLARB (the blog of the LA Review of Books), where interviews (with poets, authors, etc.) and essays are published on a range of subject matter. 

London Review of Books - a bit like the LARB’s snobbier, trans-Atlantic cousin. The LRB is prestigious af, and rightly so. The quality of its submissions is eye-wateringly high, as is its language. You’ll find more commentary, reviews and criticism than fiction, but they’re worth reading for the depth of insight and analysis. 

Others

Generalist magazines like The Atlantic and Slate, and news outlets like the Guardian and the New York Times, etc. will also feature literary pieces in their arts/culture sections, so keep an eye out.

Further suggestions and comments are very welcome!

Yavik "Yoro" Mas vs U.A. Staff Members

To start Nezu, Recovery Girl and Lunch Rush are rejected.

Hound Dog has no rules or limits for their abilities so they go too.

Thirteen's no fighter, but y'all wanna see it, so let's go.

@hansel-feather avoided fighting All Might here and I agree that the goat's actions lack definition and my goodness I equally yearn to see this take place, but unlike Hans I can predict this situation fairly well.

Yugi's abilities ultimately lack any real agility this means he's going to take all the hits, HOWEVER in AF's ruleset, agility does not amplify power, unlike your typical speed users in comic books.

Essentially this is a dead stalemate between the two.

Neither one can harm the other.

Just like with @hansel-feather I'm not surprised with the results so far.

Yavik is one of the top-tier AF characters, so it stands to reason they should be almost winning by default.

Let's not forget that these hero characters are designed to work together in teams.

Alone their skills would be problematic.

Technically Thirteen, Eraser and Midnight aren't exactly fighters.

Even Mic and Cementoss' abilities are more disabling than attacking.

Snipe is the first legit fighter in the list imo.

Obviously projectiles are problematic against a wind mage.

Power Loader and Vlad King's entries are unfortunately too vague.

This is a shame since both have techniques that technically give them an edge.
