The Nine Houses are obviously deliberately technologically limited. Aside from having FTL capable spaceships, the most advanced piece of technology that we see in the Houses is "an electric transmitter box, with headphones and a mic." It's not clear entirely what sort of device this is, but it apparently requires you to stick an antenna out the window.

On New Rho, Cam has a beeping, and therefore presumably digital watch. Nona has to remind her that's it's called a "watch", and not the House term, "clockwork", which rather suggests House timepieces are analog.

There's a projector box embedded in the BoE conference table, which loads an image like dial up internet because they are "using shortwave" - presumably shortwave radio, which can transmit pictures. As We Suffer apologises for the slowness of the image loading because of shortwave, that suggests that other methods of transmitting an image do exist, but that for whatever reason they're not using those. Perhaps they do normally have something akin to the internet, but this is down due to the conditions on New Rho, or being avoided due to House or inter-cell monitoring.

The audio of Juno Zeta's proof of life is on "a little piece of electronics, a fingernail-shaped thing with prongs", which sounds like some kind of drive.

We also see We Suffer in the impromptu command centre in the tunnels with "a headpiece and a flip-top computer", presumably being used for some kind of communicatons or planning.

And of course, there's Cam and Pal's recorder, which from the descriptions of it making squeaks and garbled noises sounds rather like it might contain a cassette tape.

A paramilitary group on a beseiged planet may not be the best evidence for the level of technology outside of the Houses, but if it is in any way indicative, non-House society doesn't seem to have non-space travel technology beyond things that would have been available in the early 00s.

The Rot Economy is neoliberalism’s true innovation: a kind of economic cancer that with few reasons to exist beyond “more” and few justifications beyond “if we don’t let it keep growing then everybody’s pensions blow up.”

I need you to stop trying to explain away how fucking offensive using the internet and technology has become. I need you to stop making excuses for the powerful and consider the sheer scale of the societal ratfucking happening on almost every single device in the world, and consider the ramifications of the difficulty that a human being using the internet has trying to live an honest, dignified and reasonable life. ... The picture I am trying to paint is one of terror and abuse. The average person’s experience of using a computer starts with aggressive interference delivered in a shoddy, sludge-like frame, and as the wider internet opens up to said user, already battered by a horrible user experience, they’re immediately thrown into heavily-algorithmic feeds each built to con them, feeding whatever holds their attention and chucking ads in as best they can. As they browse the web, websites like NBCnews.com feature stories from companies like “WorldTrending.com” with advertisements for bizarre toys written in the style of a blog, so intentional in their deceit that the page in question has a huge disclaimer at the bottom saying it’s an ad. 

Now, what’s important to accept here is that absolutely none of this is done with any real consideration of the wider effects on the customer, as long as the customer continues doing the things that the company needs them to. We, as people, have been trained to accept a kind of digital transience — an inherent knowledge that things will change at random, that the changes may suck, and that we will just have to accept them because that’s how the computer works, and these companies work hard to suppress competition as a means of making sure they can do what they want. In other words, internet users are perpetually thrown into a tornado of different corporate incentives, and the less economically stable or technologically savvy you are, the more likely you are to be at the mercy of them. Every experience is different, wants something, wants you to do something, and the less people know about why the more likely they are to — with good intentions — follow the paths laid out in front of them with little regard for what might be happening, in the same way people happily watch the same TV shows or listen to the same radio stations.  Even if you’re technologically savvy, you’re still dealing with these problems — fresh installs of Windows on new laptops, avoiding certain websites because you’ve learned what the dodgy ones look like, not interacting with random people in your DMs because you know what a spam bot looks like, and so on. It’s not that you’re immune. It’s that you’re instinctually ducking and weaving around an internet and digital ecosystem that continually tries to interrupt you, batting away pop-ups and silencing notifications knowing that they want something from you — and I need you to realize that most people are not like you and are actively victimized by the tech ecosystem. 

The onslaught of AI-generated content — facilitated, in no small part, by Google and Microsoft — has polluted our information ecosystems. AI-generated images and machine-generated text is everywhere, and it’s impossible to avoid, as there is no reliable way to determine the provenance of a piece of content — with one exception, namely the considered scrutiny of a human. This has irreparably damaged the internet in ways I believe few fully understand. This stuff — websites that state falsehoods because an AI hallucinated, or fake pictures of mushrooms and dogs that now dominate Google Images — is not going away. Like microplastics or PFAS chemicals, they’re with us forever, constantly chipping away at our understanding of reality.  These companies unleashed generative AI on the world — or, in the case of Microsoft, facilitated its ascendency — without any consideration of what that would mean for the Internet as an ecosystem. Their concerns were purely short-term. Fiscal. The result? Over-leverage in an industry that has no real path to profitability, burning billions of dollars and the environment - both digital and otherwise - along with it.  ... Societal and cultural pressure is nothing new, but the ways we experience it are now elaborate and chaotic. Our relationships — professional, personal, and romantic — are processed through the funhouse mirror of the platforms, changing in ways both subtle and overt based on the signals we receive from the people we care about, each one twisted and processed through the lens of product managers and growth hackers. Changes to these platforms — even subtle ones — actively change the lives of billions of people, and it feels like we talk about it like being online is some hobbyist pursuit rather than something that many people do more than seeing real people in the real world. ... I believe billions of people are in active combat with their devices every day, swiping away notifications, dodging around intrusive apps, agreeing to privacy policies that they don’t understand, desperately trying to find where an option they used to use has been moved to because a product manager has decided that it needed to be somewhere else. I realize it’s tough to conceptualize because it’s so ubiquitous, but how much do you fight with your computer or smartphone every day? How many times does something break? How many times have you downloaded an app and found it didn’t really do the thing you wanted it to? How many times have you wanted to do something simple and found that it’s actually really annoying?  How much of your life is dodging digital debris, avoiding scams, ads, apps that demand permissions, and endless menu options that bury the simple things that you’re actually trying to do?  You are the victim of a con. You have spent years of your life explaining to yourself and others that “this is just how things are,” accepting conditions that are inherently exploitative and abusive. You are more than likely not deficient, stupid, or “behind the times,” and even if you are, there shouldn’t be multi-billion dollar enterprises that monetize your ignorance.  And it’s time to start holding those responsible accountable.

What’s Past is Prologue

An Earthspark Post-S1, Pre-S2 summary fic

If you were left unsatisfied by the jarring time gap and tone shift between S1 and S2, here's a mini fic to help fill the void. I'm going to write out the full version on Ao3. But this is the short and sweet summary~

It had been a month since The Battle of Witwicky. The Maltos are still picking up the pieces, both literally and figuratively. While they succeeded in their goal of defeating Mandroid, saving all Transformers on Earth, and quite possibly, the world as a whole, some things were left shattered. Most notably, Quintus Prime’s Emberstone. The pieces were scattered across the globe and, for a moment, Team Prime feared they would be lost forever.

However, Quintus Prime would never leave his chosen stranded. Prime Power or not, the kids did not give up hope. The shards of the Emberstone dispersed, but they were not lost forever. Starting right in their backyard, The Maltos found their first shard in the cow pasture… With the help of Fluffy-Ears, of course. Less than a week later, another was found by Breakdown while racing across the countryside with Bumblebee.

At first, the alliance between Autobots and Decepticons had been tense. Both sides were anxious that the other might sell them out or deceive them. But with the help of the newly declared “Malto-bots,” tensions eased. It was hard not to enjoy their company. It had been centuries since any of them had interacted with bots so young. It was refreshing to have such young and enthusiastic faces around.

Every day, the Maltos searched for more ways to find the missing shards. Some they stumbled across accidentally. Some ended up in museums- dazzling archeologists. Schloder and Optimus Prime had to be the ones to get those. Nightshade created a way of scanning for the shards, but their device’s range was limited so the scouting parties had to travel the world to identify possible locations. Did someone say road trip? The Trine were quick to point out that they were much better suited for the job thanks to the help of Skywarp’s powers.

Starscream had to admit, he was fascinated by these ancient Cybertronian artifacts. His volunteering to help the Maltos was not entirely altruistic. It was an opportunity to show off the superiority of himself and his fellow Seekers and gain knowledge about these strange crystal shards. That’s what he told himself at least. The fact that he often hoovered around the Malto residents when Hashtag was around, and Megatron was not, was purely so he could gather intel.

As for the Malto-bots, they enjoyed the month of relative peace. While not all the Decepticons were eager to become ‘friends’, the ones that stuck around would do their best to teach the kids something while they were there.

Breakdown was the first. Never one to turn down a chance to show off, he was happy to oblige Thrash when he asked for racing tips. He showed the young bot a few flashy new moves, including one that Robby insisted was called “The Akira Slide.” Breakdown maintained that it was a Stunticon specialty, and certainly not inspired by a cartoon.

Swindle tried to teach the kids how to override security locks at the junkyard, but was quickly shut down by Elita-One. He complained to Hardtop about what a wasted opportunity it was for three days straight.

Skullcrusher, Grimlock, and Jawbreaker formed a special alliance that Jawbreaker dubbed “The Beastie Boys.” They spent their down time sparing and seeing who could leave the biggest dent in scrap metal pieces.

Soundwave and his casseticons taught Hashtag how to utilize her radio to scramble comm frequencies. In return, she taught them about the wonders of the internet. This was a terrible decision, as Frenzy quickly became engrossed by internet subcultures. Soundwave had to step in with what Mo would call his “Mad Dad Voice.” On the bright side, the discovery of Kandi culture led to a group friendship bracelet making party.

Even Shockwave took some time to mentor the bots. Well. Realistically it was just Nightshade in the lab, but The Great Shockwave was cool enough that the other Maltos pretended to pay attention for half of his science monolouge.

The Decepticons started creating their own home base in between Emberstone shard scouting missions. Led by Starscream, with Shockwave as his Second, they found a suitable location far enough away from the former-GHOST base, but not so far away that it would be impossible to reach the Terrans if needed.

This was one area that walked the line of the treaty. The Decepticons were entitled to make a home on Earth. Optimus Prime respected their wishes on this matter. He instructed the other Autobots and Maltos to stay out as well. If there was going to be a chance at lasting peace, they needed to build trust. Many of the Decepticons had been imprisoned by GHOST for years. They deserved a safe space without surveillance as much as anyone. Freedom was the right of all sentient beings, and Prime would sooner go offline than go back on that principle.

There was still much they didn’t know. With every new answer about the emberstones came more questions. Between chaos and confusion, there was also stillness and affection. For these precious moments, both Autobots, Decepticons and Maltobots could enjoy the time of respite.

However, nothing really lasts forever.

I like how Sinners in Hell have different approaches to advancements made after they died. Angel and Vox, for example, have taken to modern technology like smartphones and video streaming just fine, little to no stumbling as far as I know.

Sir Pentious... tries to keep up, bless him, but hey, not everyone can do it easily. I don't think it's necessarily tied to age at death or time of death, some people are just better at adjusting to newfangled fads and devices than others. I'm sure him dying in the 1800's certainly doesn't help, but also he's just a bit dim regardless. (He's still great with steam technology, though, so he'll be fine! ...oh god, Sir Pentious somehow making a functioning computer using technology that existed while he was alive and then proceeding to "How do you do fellow kids" all over the Internet)

And then there are Sinners like Alastor who thought things were just fine when all we had was radio, thank you very much, he's not going near any of this video bullshit. The idea that it could be his deep hatred of video technology that makes him impossible to film makes me laugh. It's not a superpower, really, he just hates cameras that goddamn much.

As for Husk, for now I see him as disinterested in modern technology, and with his claws, trying to teach him how to use a keyboard or a touch screen would be a nightmare. And don't even get him started on synthesized music. What is this garbage. Electro-swing leaves him feeling violated.

(Probably best that Husk doesn't discover the Internet, really. We don't need him getting hooked on one of those shady virtual poker sites that steals your banking information.)

I've made several smartphone-looking devices before, though I don't have the actual materials or internet access to code them properly here, but mostly I've been attempting to recreate other things I've seen before from memory. Take the handcrank flashlight for example: if I recall correctly, it's made of a radio and a flashlight, and so I do my best to remake them without a reference just to keep my wits and skills active.

I think if I tried though, and if I had a safe place to spend a few hours in, I could make something more complex. I have experience in the field of robotics, and it would keep me occupied and distracted, which is always good.

- "Smiley" anon

Experience in the robotics field, you say?

I might have an idea that you could work on, if you’re willing to attempt something a little more on the.. complicated side of things.

Hell, I’ll even let you work on it in my shop, if you’d like. It’s safe in here.

For the most part, anyways..

Whadd’ya say? Wanna hear more about what I might have in mind?

Sunset Died - Alto/Landgraab

Under pressure (short Part)

A little later. While his wife is on her way to bed, Nick gets on the radio. This was only intended for radio communication between him and the people who apparently had a great influence on him. The Altos hadn't used their computer for a long time, as they still believe they no longer have internet. The reception with this old device was not always the best, but this one frequency was crystal clear to understand. “Please don't talk for so long, Nick, I want to sleep”.

Back then, the catastrophe with the meteorites was just the right opportunity for those who control things from afar to turn Nick Alto into their puppet. They were the ones who contacted him first The radio receiver was usually always in the town hall. And by now he already knew the frequency by heart, which allowed him to make contact with the outside world, albeit involuntarily.

Nick adjusted the volume so quietly that he could just hear something and that it didn't disturb his wife. You could hear a soft click on the line, rhythmically, at intervals of about 2 seconds. Like a telephone ringing through. Then you heard a man's voice. “What's the Parole?"/ ‘Censorship 20 doesn't exist“. A short pause… “Mr. Alto… what do you have to report?”.

“Well…the experiment is not going as you had hoped. As you ordered me to do, I have contributed nothing to the reconstruction. I didn't give any Support. But the people here are not as stupid as you thought…"/ „Nevertheless, you were of the same opinion as we were, Mr. Alto….“/ „I know, but..“/ „But?’…

Nick deliberately took a little time before answering again. “Mr. Alto??"/ ”I'll let you know my decision next time. But to do so, you have to support us once again with an important delivery, regardless of whether my decision is positive or negative for you, we urgently need a few things here”. For a few seconds, all you could hear were two or three muffled voices conferring at the other end, one of them a little louder. “Don't play games, Alto… What do you need?”.

Of course, Vita wasn't asleep yet. She could only really rest when the room was completely dark. So she listened to the conversation, even though her husband tried to be as quiet as possible. She could hear Nick listing a few things that were urgently needed here. And she smiled quietly to herself. “If YOU don't cooperate, there's no deal between us, over and out.” was the last thing Nick said before he cut the connection again. His thoughts were racing and he really had a lot to think about.

So, and correct me if I'm wrong, this is the only completely secure way to communicate over the internet:

1. Get a second computer which you will from now on never connect to the internet nor in any way allow to talk with any other computer, including flash drives, cables, Bluetooth, whatever.

2. Get it inside a Faraday cage that has an airlock type door so that you can always keep it closed.

This is because even of you rip out the antennas on a device, all modern motherboards have a backdoor which allows any government agents with proper equipment to compromise it via short range radio.

For good measure, get that computer its own power supply separate from the grid, to truly air gap it from the internet.

3. Anything which ever appears on any computer or phone can immediately be considered known to every security agency in the world, since all modern devices have backdoors put there for that reason.

Therefore, install on the other computer an encryption program(best if you make it yourself), whose resulting meaningless jumble of digits you by hand copy over to send to whoever needs it, presuming you gave them the key to decrypt it irl scribbled on a note or via the usual public private key method.

If any of this could be made simpler, please tell me, but I'm pretty sure that it can't.

Phenexis’s Tools! Gifts from the Omnidentus and Friends

First gift, The Rift Sword: A very…pretty but typical looking two handed great sword. Its got Good balanced weight. And is extraordinarily sharp. Made from as pure metal as could be acquired at time of construction. Imbued with magical properties that allow the extremely sharp blade to cut through time and space itself opening portals to new places. The sword also allows you to pull places into one another. So she can pull her shopfront into a different world/dimension by cutting open a space just big enough for the shop front to fit into. Thus always having an immediate way back home.

Second gift, The Scrying Necklace: A crystalline clear aquamarine/turquoise gem held by a pure silver chain and cap. The jewel is a scrying device that can find almost anything your looking for on a map, works with almost any map but works best with Phens navimap. Swing it above the map and when it locates whats asked of it, it yanks down and pinpoints the location. (Phen has currently only used it to find already used portals to specific locations)

Third Gift, The Navimap: A map that shows the surrounding area(s) in complete accuracy. It magically changes as the land itself does ensuring it is always accurate. You can zoom in and out to see the area in more detail and depth as needed. Will tell you what beings/ creatures and plants are in the area, just not where they are.

GIFTS FROM FRIENDS

First Gift, The Multiversal Camera aka the Funny Bunny Pola Mini!: Taking a picture with this polaroid allows you to travel to that SPECIFIC universe. (Like earth 52 vs earth 45 kinda thing) Traveling without a specific universe in mind will land you in one of the MANY multiverse options. (So you wanted to go to merpeople earth but instead went to goblin earth because you didn’t take a picture in merpeople earth) Phenexis takes a picture with the first friend she makes there so she can return to see them.

Second gift, The Shellphone:

A Video phone made by combining her friends knowledge of magic and technology with her own to create not only a communications device but a whole magic based version of the internet! So long as it can connect to magic, the internet/some form of mechanical or radio telecommunication, or another communications device in semi close range it will work just about any and everywhere!

It takes photos/videos.

Plays music/Audio/basic games/movies

You can store and read texts (like books)

Send “scrolls” (a text)

Write with a holo-pen in your scrolls!

And beam up little interactive holograms of whatever is on your screen by opening it up flat!

Eventually her friends are gifted/make their own variations of these items so they can travel separately but always find one another!

Vox; Voxtek & Contractees

All lore & headcanons are my own and not to be used or shared without my permission. This will apply to my portrayal of Vox and how he is with his staff. Heavy trigger warning for gore, abuse, manipulation & more.

This post will cover the true nature of making a deal with the exploitative T.V demon.

Road to Voxtek

Vox arrived in hell in the mid 60s shortly after the rise of television. While he did witness this, it was not his goal in hell. He only got connected to television after meeting the radio demon, Alastor. He came absolute enamored from the moment they met.

Vox's power is the ability to control and amplify electrical wavelengths.

During his first few years, t.v was not popular in hell. All the signals in hell were under control of Alastor which lead Vox to become his protege.

Everything Vox learned was from watching Alastor. He attempted to mimic him in everything he did. Even trying to recruit people on their behalf thinking they were a duo.

He slowly began to make changes to things which caused tension between the two. It only got worse as Vox began to hang out with Valentino. His behavior started to devolve and become erratic.

Vox began to make deals behind the radio demon's back and brought Valentino into their office and that was the last time he and Alastor were only friendly terms.

The events following this were quite difficult. Vox lost what little humanity he had left. It broke him.

He began working toward making himself the best in hell so no one could hurt him like that.

He implemented the things Alastor taught him, using the radio waves to slowly build his own empire off. (yes he is still riding Alastor's coattails).

He took on many contracts early on of various sinners and hellborn to recruit for the FUTURE of HELL.

He started a television studio to get his face out there and it helped move Hell into the age of new media, gameshows and scandalous stories.

After conquering media, he began to expand his empire into merchandise for his shows. Over time that grew into manufacturing technology.

After many years of a close, intimate relationship with Val, they partnered together in the 2000s. This was the first time he let anyone in outside of Alastor. It was a progressive step for him as it gave Valentino a stake in his various businesses and life.

They soon became an empire together. One of the few Overlords to openly work together as a partnership.

His team was completed when Velvette joined them to cover the internet, socials and more.

Together the three pretty much monopolize the entertainment industry in Pride.

Voxtek Terms & Conditions

All purchases from Voxtek requires you to sign a wavier of agreement. Hidden throughout this document has many hidden and painful condition.

The first thing is when you have bought anything from his company, it explicitly states that once you have agreed to the terms that you have given him permission to use this device to get information or travel through it when needed.

This essentially means he can record and stalk anyone that has a device from Voxtek. He can hear and see out of these devices and all information sent to him will be stored on a private server.

Things he finds on this server can sometimes be used as blackmail and leverage against those who get in his way.

It also means he can take over your device and display messages or even hypnotize you.

The next important thing in his conditions state that once you have bought something from him, you are considered a contractor of Voxtek and therefore any ideas you come up with are intellectual property of Voxtek and essentially his.

This means that if someone tries to start a business and has agreed to this, Vox can demand compensation from them.

It allows him to keep more revenue coming in and preventing competition in the market.

Another thing in these conditions is that you wave the right to arbitration. So you can not sue him.

This makes it to where he has no consequences for this poor behavior.

Employees

While his terms & condition are left very vague to cover all bases, his personal contracts with his employees are different.

For those who seek an opportunity at his company are faces with unique and detailed expectations and condition as well as a non-disclosure agreement.

Not all Voxtek employees hold contracts with Vox. Their souls are still their own, but they are expected remember their place.

He had one of the highest employee rate in hell. Holding hundreds of jobs for television, manufacturing, I.T and more.

Employees can not discuss anything that they see or witness.

There are some high profile employees like Katie Killjoy, have a tailored contract for a more mutual understanding where Vox does give them more to assure they preform well for sales.

Contracts

Those who are brave or stupid enough to make a contract with Vox have a much more difficult path.

Vox does not see his contractees as anything more than a dollar sign. He uses them for everything they have.

They often are overworked and belittled.

One of this biggest things is that once you enter a contract with him, he will remove one of their eyes and replace it with a prosthetic. This prosthetic allows him to see and record everything from their point of view.

He does keep the removed eyes in a jar he keeps in his bedroom to admire.

He also installs a chip in them that will cause sharp electrocution to their neck when they mess up or just annoy him. It's hell's most painful shock collar.

Each contract is very personal and is pages and pages detailing expectations on both ends. However, Vox hardly offers much in return. His protection from other overlords, pay and security at Voxtek housing and his brief praise. That's it.

All his contractees also always must be loyal and are forbidden from any romantic or sexual encounters with Val and Alastor. However, it is okay when it's a threesome if he is there.

Canadian poet and novelist Margaret Atwood (1939) is best known for her searing explorations of feminism, sexuality, and politics in books like The Handmaid’s Tale (1986), a dystopian novel that takes place in a United States, which has become a fundamentalist theocracy where women are forced to have children. She started writing the book on a battered, rented typewriter while on a fellowship in West Berlin. The book became an international best-seller. Atwood’s daughter was nine when it was published; by the time she was in high school, The Handmaid’s Tale was required reading. Atwood once said, “Men often ask me, ‘Why are your female characters so paranoid?’ It’s not paranoia. It’s recognition of their situation.”

Atwood was born in Ottawa, Ontario. Her father was an entomologist and the family lived for a long time in insect-research stations in the wilderness. She was 11 before she attended a full year of school. About growing up in near isolation, Atwood said: “There were no films or theatres in the North, and the radio didn’t work very well. But there were always books. I learned to read early, was an avid reader and read everything I could get my hands on — no one ever told me I couldn’t read a book. My mother liked quietness in children, and a child who is reading is very quiet.”

One day she was walking across a football field on her way home and began writing a poem in her head and decided to write it down. She says: “After that, writing was the only thing I wanted to do. I didn’t know that this poem of mine wasn’t at all good, and if I had known, I probably wouldn’t have cared.”

Her first novel was The Edible Woman (1969), about a woman who cannot eat and feels that she is being eaten. Atwood likes to write in longhand, preferably with a Rollerball pen, and is even the co-inventor of the LongPen, a remote signing device that allows a person to write in ink anywhere in the world using a tablet and the internet. Her books include Alias Grace (1996), Oryx and Crake (2003), and The Heart Goes Last (2015).

About the writing life, Margaret Atwood says: “You most likely need a thesaurus, a rudimentary grammar book, and a grip on reality. This latter means: there’s no free lunch. Writing is work. It’s also gambling. You don’t get a pension plan. Other people can help you a bit, but ­essentially you’re on your own. ­Nobody is making you do this: you chose it, so don’t whine.”

HE/R SCENT

By now y'all should know God is both MASCULINE and FEMININE the JOKER and HARLEQUIN. Finding GODS truth is not easy and it takes years of hard work and dedication. Toiletology is the best methodology for finding God. Unfortunately the rest of the religions or spiritual practices have been diluted over the years by mans ego and desire for power and control. I imagine there are some good ones out there but I am not aware of any giving you the absolute clearest and to the point truth and methodology for reaching heaven.

I believe I currently possess the clearest understanding about the true nature of God/reality on Earth. I have spent my entire life searching for truth never fully satisfied with the answers I was finding about God or the nature of reality. I started to move away from believing in God when I was a teenager that is until I found myself in Iraq for a year at the age of 19 in 2004.

I narrowly missed death twice that year. The first time was when I was in the drivers seat of humvee trying to nap during the day. One of my squad mates wanted to be a dick that day and didn't want to let me sleep. They kept lock and loading their magazine into their M16. I knew that their rifle was somewhat broken and had been in and out of the armory due to not being able to load a bullet into the chamber. I was mostly ignoring their attempts at trying to mess with me.

At some point this person loaded the magazine again and pulled the charging handle back which is supposed to load a bullet into the chamber. They then proceeded to point their rifle at my head. I was sort of ignoring this but something came over me and made me move my hand to move the barrel away from my head. Right as I was moving the barrel they pulled the trigger. The bullet missed my head by a few inches and traveled through the back of the metal wall on the humvee. The bullet then grazed an ANCD which is a device we use to encrypt our radios signals.

After this shot went off my sergeant and the rest of my squad came running out of the A/C cooled shelter truck they were inside. I jumped out of the humvee and laid on the ground and was checking myself to see if I got hit. For the next 2 weeks everything was high pitched sounding when I was in large groups of people like at the chow hall. That guy ended up getting sent to prison for that instance and other things they did while they were over there.

The next moment I felt saved by a guardian was at the internet cafe in Taji, Iraq myself and two of my squad mates were there. One was taking a long time talking to his wife on the computer so myself and another squad mate went outside to have a smoke. In front of this building was a U shaped side walk and a square of grass in the middle. After we finished our cigarettes we decided to go play a game of pool because the other dude was taking too long. As soon as we went inside and set down our weapons two mortars landed right in the grassy area where we were standing.

Across the street about 30 ft or so from where the mortars impacted a soldier was inside a humvee with no doors in full gear (flak vest and Kevlar helmet). We saw them fall outside of the humvee to the ground getting hit by the shrapnel. Some medics were near by and attended to the soldier and they looked to be okay by the look of things.

After these two instances I started to believe God was protecting me. Trust me when bombs are landing all around you, you will start praying to Jesus. Its very hard to be an atheist in war. Iraq opened my eyes to the possibility of a guiding hand. From that time forwards I was searching everywhere to better understand God.

I spent a lot of time around Iraqis and Muslims and learned more about Islam while I was over there. All the Iraqis I met were friendly and nice to me. I then started studying the bible over the years and the Bhagavad Gita (around 2010) and whatever else I could find about spirituality.

A strange quirk I found about the Bhagavad Gita was that I could ask a question and then open to a random page and it gave me and answer to that question. My next deployment overseas in 2010 I spent a lot of time reading this book. Namely this one https://amzn.to/3WDUHZz

Many of my spiritual battles along my 11 year journey namely the one in 2019 gave me the name of KALI. Also known as Kali the destroyer. The name came to me as I was experiencing many painful and strong evil energy attacking me. I thought KALI was my cosmic sister and had a bad habit of not trusting her due to my own fear about her true nature. I think it went both ways between us with those thoughts. As God is a trickster and masqueraded as both of us, so we thought we were the cause of each others pain. One funny moment of this particular battle over the days/week this happened in 2019 was God showing me the most beautiful word I had ever seen. I tried stealing this word but completely forgot what the word was. Years later God told me this word was actually just the word "pumpkin" but it had a crazy beautiful golden shining FX on it to mess with me. Looking back now on the journey I can laugh about it, but going through it was absolute hellish torture.

The bonus of joining The Church of Toiletology is you get to learn personally from myself and my cosmic twin flame sister how to navigate the dark maze.

Around January in 2023 I first experienced the SCENT (as my wifey Cara likes to calls it).

I actually started calling it ACE the first time I experienced it or Angel Cocaine Energy. Since its sort of like a very drugged out feeling it gives you which can be very sedating. Interestingly if you add up all the numbers from 1-17 it equals 153. https://blog.toiletology.org/post/757589161447424000/shes-the-first-to-rise-to-the-top-of-the-ranks

153 is an interesting number because A = 1, C = 3 and 5 = E or ACE. A strange coincidence no?

I gave this feeling more names like SAUCE, SLACK, SPICE, AMBROSIA, NECTAR, and of course LOOSH.

I was very sCARed of the word LOOSH for quite sometime due to my experiences with that word and the fear people have created around that word. Namely demonic entities behind the scenes that feed on your fear/pain which generates LOOSH. A funny side note in my 2019 spiritual battle I was on a type of craft in another realm extracting loosh with deadmau5. I broke the computer systems or something and I got sent to a nested reality where I had to battle to escape from it.

Loosh is only generated from yourself, its not extracted from helpless humans behind the scenes. Wifey did come up with the best name which is SCENT or the SCENT of GOD. It lets you know you are on the right trail.

You will start to experience this SCENT when you are perfectly in-tuned with Gods true frequency aka the 1/7. This scent does feel pretty great and I know the ways to pull it out stronger. When I first started experiencing it I was scared to lose it. Because it feels that good, its like a very strong drug which is enjoyable.

The word SLACK is also very good terminology to describe it because it makes you so drugged out and sedated it can be hard to do anything. It can be difficult to get out of bed cas you just want to lay there enjoying the sedating effects of it. It truly is the nectar/ambrosia or drink of the Gods.

Strangely enough during one of my battles in 2017 I could see a dark entity inside of my stomach. It was very gross and scary looking and I didn't know how to get rid of it. So I wrote on a piece of paper "Love Potion #9" tore it up and ate. Surprisingly it worked and got rid of the demonic entity that was inside of a cage in me.

Everyone's elven/eleven journey is going to be different. No two people will have the exact same journey, path or challenges. God will give you exactly the perfect amount of a challenge that you can handle no more and no less. Toiletology can help you prepare for what you may encounter. You will need to use your own intelligence and creativity to survive the battles. You can think of the battles like puzzles and each puzzle requires you to solve it in new and creative ways.

It is an invisible game that is not easy to play. God doesn't hand out the keys to heaven easily, you must earn the keys. And your eleven year journey is the way you do it. It maybe possible for some of you to reach 4D quicker than others or even faster than the 11 years.

Because you have Toiletology which can help accelerate the process. It all boils down to believing in the impossible. Having the courage to walk across an invisible bridge. You need to be a willing sacrificial fool on the cross, T, X, or 11.

We can't make you believe in what is being said here or force you through the doorway. You must learn to start harmonizing yourself on what you are being taught here, so that you can slowly unlock your full potential and belief. Its like a slow unwinding of a clock, you are like a genie expanding outside of your magical lamp.

The SCENT of HE/R and S/HE will come at some point once you are in complete belief, harmony and locked on to Gods true frequency which is LOVE. You can't fake it or force it unfortunately, it is EARNED through many painful experiences, lessons and spiritual battles. You must make the conscious decision to seek GOD daily before they will bless you with the start of your elven journey.

I currently have one initiate who was able to feel the ACE by being in close proximity to me and following my training for a few weeks. I can't verify if they were truly feeling it. It seems it maybe possible to feel the ACE at the beginning of your journey with the right guidance or being around one who is in perfect harmony with the one true creator! Good luck and Godspeed, you will need it if you want to move at the speed of light like the rest of us top Toiletologist there are many and there are none. STOP EXPOSING ALL THE SCERETS MATT! ~Toilet God

[cyanidas]

Forever ago, I wanted to make my own fan-region, complete with fakemon! Well, finally I got to make a few of them!! I guess I really like wings 😆

More info under cut (names, typings, shiny versions, general stuff) ✂️ (warning; it’s a lot!)

Pangolime (Electric/Normal) -> Joulemon (Electric) -> Circitraco (Electric/Dragon)

Pangolime is the size of a rat! They curl up into balls to conserve heat and ward off predators, and their blue scales conduct electricity. Their natural habitat is the desert, where they travel along dunes by rolling up and letting the wind blow them across the land! They’re the tamest of the lineage, as they’re commonly docile and handle well as pets. It’s common to see them in stores as symbols of good nature, or in hospitals as therapy assistants.

Joulemon is typically as big as a large housecat. Their thick, fat tails help regulate body temperature and root them to the ground, which is useful in windy climates, especially during duststorms and tornadoes. Their call sounds like a desert rain frog, and they can be about as temperamental. When they sense a threat to their territory, they stamp the ground with their forelegs and stare while squeaking angrily, warning enemies they are about to attack.

Circitraco is usually about 2-3ft in height, maybe the size of a medium dog. This lineage is known for their fruity aroma, and Circitraco most of all. The older the Circitraco, the sweeter and milder they smell. They’re known for being playful, if not a little unpredictable in nature. Still, they are the most intelligent of their lineage, possessing knowledge of art, basic math, and the concept of human language.

Raytubat (Electric) -> Consoules (Electric/Flying) -> Analoghoul (Electric/Dragon)

Raytubat is about 8in wide. This lineage is man-made, much like Porygon - however, they’ve gained the ability to have eggs and have become known as a city-dwelling pest around the region. Raytubat are usually seen infesting the back rooms and storage areas of stores and warehouses, where they feed off the building’s energy. You’ll know you have an infestation when your overhead lights begin flickering constantly, and your power bill skyrockets. They aren’t too bright, either.

Consoules is the size of a minipig, and about as hefty. They fly by propelling magnetic fuel from their tails and wings, and their ears act as GPS devices. They’re incredibly playful, and although quick to fear humans, they’re as easily re-domesticated as NYC pigeons. If you can lift them, you can just kinda grab one, no battle needed. The red gems on their body store power, and if you get close enough to the gem on their chest, you can hear odd radio waves! Since they still lack mouths, they consume exclusively electricity, and their favorite food is internet data.

Analoghoul are tech gargoyles about 5ft in length. They are fiercely territorial; you’d best hope that a Raytubat infestation doesn’t grow to become an Analoghoul problem because of its aggressive nature. The crystal ball it carries stores its energy, and slots into the divet in its chest. They have grown huge jaws that can rip through metal and thick cables with ease, which allow them to eat electrical wiring to better absorb the nutrients. Metal waste, once all electricity has been absorbed, is reverted out of its mouth as a solid metal pellet which is collected by cleanup crews and melted down for reuse. Despite being considered dangerous and harmful pests, certain tech companies employ their use to ward off other dangerous pests and intruders due to their territorial habits. Once fully domesticated, they become intensely loyal creatures.

Vixierrot (Fairy) -> Phantomime (Ghost) -> Coulrosee (Ghost/Fairy)

Vixierrot, which are the size of babydolls, are horribly pathetic creatures. They are born depressed and anxious, and move slow as sloths on the ground, where they do their best to eat flowering plants and small prey. Despite this, they fail tremendously. Without help from caretakers, whether that be older members of their lineage or human owners, they suffer greatly and perish. In order to get them to evolve, they require lots of love and affection and a specialized diet.

Phantomime are the size of real-life foxes. After evolving into this form, their happiness is completely reset as they struggle to cope with their new forms. Moody and anxious, some even run away from home upon evolving, so special containment procedures are necessary when caring for Vixierrot. They are totally silent and become solitary, preferring to watch friends and family from a distance. At their best, they love to play charades and make others laugh. They also have a certain craving for Fidough.

Coulrosee are quite large, about the size of humans! They’ve become quite comedic creatures, doing their best to entice laughter and play in others. It can become problematic, however, if not properly trained; they can mistake misery for delight or actively impose humor onto those who don’t want it as an attempt to help. Properly trained Coulrosee are highly sought-after by retirement homes, hospitals, and other such places for their unique ability to instill a fun, light-hearted atmosphere with their contagious laughter!

Angelure (Fire/Fairy) -> Cherrem (Fire) -> Seraphell (Risen: Psychic/Fire, Fallen: Dragon/Fire)

Angelure share a size with Morelull. They typically float in groups of up to 50 members, lighting up the dawn sky with their adorable little flames like fireflies. They have the ability Comatose, and entice onlookers who wander too close to fall asleep where they stand. People put to sleep by these creatures are said to have dreams of the afterlife and their ancestors. Angelure love to feed on these dreams.

Cherrem are typically about 13in in length, but their tails can reach up to 30in! They slither along the ground, leaving smouldering trails in their wake, hoping to entice fire-reliant prey to follow them to their dens, which are usually made out of stone or moss burrows. They put their prey to sleep for consumption. Although this is pretty gruesome, pet Cherrem are well-known to be quite shy, gently taking food from their owner’s hands and hiding their faces behind their toasty wings. This species can survive on diets of either meat or plants!

Seraphell are about 4ft in length each. In order to evolve into its Risen form, Cherrem (after evolving) must only consume plant matter and/or berries for 15 levels (in game, at least once every level). If the Cherrem were to consume only meat for 15 levels, it would become its Fallen form. If both or neither, then it will not evolve. Risen Seraphell and Fallen Seraphell become hostile toward one another, and their fights can become pretty ruthless. It’s advised to keep them separated. They do make excellent companions for humans, especially to the mentally unwell. It’s common to see them in mental hospitals due to their comforting, laid-back attitudes.

Sootspry (Fire) -> Burnowl (Fire/Flying) -> Wildflyr (Fire/Flying)

Sootspry are the size of two Joltik! They are energetic, frightful creatures who prefer to live in underground packs, sometimes consisting of hundreds of them at once! They feed off of fallen logs and old buildings, relying on Burnowl to scout new homes or sources of food. They burn red hot, and can’t fly yet, but they do flutter haphazardly along walls, sticking together to move as a mass.

Burnowl are, you guessed it, owl-sized defensive, intelligent creatures. They prefer food which has already been burned, so they eat what Sootspry leave behind. They’re able to spot prey by seeing and sensing their heat signatures. They are maternal creatures, often seen taking care of babies that aren’t even their own in the wild!

Wildflyr, the size of a large American Forest cat, are adorable, fierce, independent, and loving creatures. Sometimes they’re wrongly accused of setting forests ablaze, but research has shown they actually help prevent it by hunting other Fire-type prey. To see one flying across the night sky is said to bring good luck to all who see, so they have a dedicated festival in the summertime where a local herd is released at midnight to glide across the moon.

Kernamite (Grass/Bug) -> Chrysabud (Grass/Bug) -> Lichemoth (Grass/Bug)

Kernamite are sweet little creatures, only 5in tall. They live near bogs and temperate climates, like the base of a mountain, where they feed on moss and bog mud. They make homes in bog water and marsh grasses, where they live in independent groups. They have no trouble crawling on people, but may leave behind silky residue, which is what they secrete in order to stick to things. Their fur feels grassy, but their ears are hard and shell-like.

Chrysabud, football sized, are evolved from Kernamite who consume mud from a unique bog located at the top of a mountain in this region. They form a hard silky outer shell, keeping their legs free enough to attach and slowly move along different surfaces. Large leaf blades sprout from their ears and tail, sharp enough to ward off potential predators. In the wild, they typically stick to one tree to sap nutrients from until they can evolve again. Although quite slow and seemingly distant-minded, they still respond to their owners!

Lichemoth are pleasant-smelling, graceful creatures who are about 1-2ft long. They exclusively live in and around bogs, forests, and marshes. Their diet consists solely of fruit, berries, mineral-rich water, and carcasses. They are gentle, but some work will be needed to get one to be totally friendly. Their fur is soft and grassy, and their tails feel like moss! They enjoy holding moisture in their tails and manes, and often love to be outside during snowstorms. Despite this, they can only live in moist areas, and too cold temperatures will freeze their bodies solid, forcing them into hibernation.

Thank you for reading!! Here are the Shiny forms!! :D

You guys know the new show called My Amazing Digital Circus produced by Gooseworx and Glitch. Well, I came up with a way to make things more traumatically chaotic. Now the show's synopsis alongside trailer is what will be used here so people who haven't seen the show can watch the pilot without spoilers.

'A woman gets trapped in a crazy virtual world along with five other humans and are now subject to the whims of wacky AI and their own personal traumas.'

The crux of my idea involves the exit, a target goal for everyone stuck inside TADC. (Said in the summary for the pilot.) What would happen if there were two ways to leave the digital world? Consequences are bound to happen when you consider the situation at hand.

Everyone's minds have been taken but not their actual bodies. A comatose person needs to be constantly tended to or else they die. There's also the fact that family members and hospital staff can pull the plug if need be.

Anyone whose been stuck in the circus for too long most likely don't have their body anymore. Their minds are trapped unless a suitable vessel is found. Sounds scary already.

Now for my idea of two exits: a proper and flawed. Proper is the original way to leave TADC with the mind going back to its body. An exit no one knows whether it exists or not.

Flawed path is very unconventional but escape is mostly ensured. The person returns to the real world but not as themselves. Whatever form they took in the TADC becomes their new body. A version not managed by the AI.

Yup. A very unfortunate situation as some characters like Gangle or Zooble will struggle quite a bit, more mentally than physically though. Nevermind the fact everyone has to hide their appearances as people outside TADC will freak out.

Although these new bodies do bring some advantages. They're data based so anyone from TADC can jump in and out of electronic devices. Radios, computers, TVs, consoles, telephone/internet/radio wires, etc.

From there they can interact with the device. If it's a videogame then the person could act like a second player and make use of various functions open to them. Character Customizations is a way to change their appearance however it's temporary in the real world.

Anything from a program or game can only function a few times before poofing outta existence. It's best to manage usage unless someone wants to delve into multiple software for tools and disguises. Victims of TADC can get injured with their durability in the real world closer to humans aka not cartoon based unless their body is similar to said character type like Jax or doll type like Ragatha.

They need to go into a digital device specifically a game to recover. What happens if they do die is unknown. It can mean returning to TADC with the Faulty exit permanently locked from them or disappearing until nothing remains.

There is another option but you guys have to watch the show to know what it is. However it goes along with what Ragatha says in the trailer that something very bad can occur if someone reaches their breaking point. What happens is gonna be pretty ugly for everyone nearby.

Two exits that can lead to freedom but which pair of consequences can you handle? As one particularly famous saying goes. 'Be careful what you wish for.'
