"...WHEN... HIS SAUCER BEGINS TO DRY, HE DASHES HOME TO KEEP HIS CARAPACE CUCUMBER-FRESH."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the Kappa, also known as kawatarō ("river-boy"), a reptiloid kami found in traditional Japanese folklore, artwork by the late, great Eric Carle (1929-2021), from the children's book "Dragons Dragons and Other Creatures that Never Were" (1988).

"Saucer on his head, carapace on his back, the "river urchin" pulls pranks, tickling your tush in the slimy lake, stealing your bellybutton while you're snoozing.

But water is the source of his life, When, out on land too long, his saucer begins to dry, he dashes home to keep his carapace cucumber-fresh."

-- "Kappa" by HIRO SATO

Tales of San Derecho: The Portrait (Part 1)

"Why do we have to hang that old portrait here, Karl?"

"We don't have much of choice, Jason. It has to hang in one of the fraternities or else the university loses a huge endowment..."

"But that old man is pretty creepy."

Karl Sanderson couldn't really disagree with his fellow fraternity brother. The portrait of the late Walter J. Truman showed a silver-bearded man of later years, dressed in a dark suit. His clear blue eyes seemed to be passing judgment on anyone who looked at him too long. He shuddered unconsciously.

"I know, but it's only temporary. A few weeks at most."

The dean of the university had been quite insistent that portrait needed to go up in Gamma Alpha Epsilon's main room. It had been one of the few things recovered from the fire that destroyed the frat house it had previously been in. That the dean had also strongly hinted that this wasn't a request that ΓΑΕ could refuse, unless it wanted to be blamed for costing the school millions of dollars in funding.

"I hope so, Karl. It's really gonna be awkward in here until it's gone."

Jason Chang looked down at his smart watch, seeing a rainbow colored alarm going off.

"Hey, we gotta get ready. The girls from Delta Iota Kappa will be here soon to duscuss our plans to protest at the Governor's speech tomorrow afternoon..."

The gay fraternity members turned and left the room, not noticing that the man in the painting's expression has grown considerably more dour. A flash of something sparkled in his cold blue eyes...

==========

During the meeting, someone brought up the new decoration in the ΓΑΕ house. Carl wasn't sure who, but it quickly became a very hostile topic. In particular, the president of Delta Iota Kappa, Sandra Lake, had some very choice words about the late Mr. Truman.

"That old pig was not only homophovbic but massively misogynistic! I heard they only allowed women to be awarded scholarships when he finally died!"

Carl nodded slightly, as he'd heard the stories from some of the professors over in the Social Sciences department.

"It really sucks that bastard of a Dean stuck you all with that painting. I mean, it looks like the old goat is judging us or something!"

And it was true that Truman looked out very harshly from the painting, those cold blue eyes staring at the gathered students. Of course, it was still a shock when Sandra threw her soda at the portrait, the sticky drink dripping down the glass that protected the canvas.

"Sandra!"

"What, Karl? He deserves it! Hell, the Governor deserves the same!"

After that outburst, the meeting really broke up. They all knew whst thry were doing tomorrow anyway. The fraternity members went back to their rooms, while the ΔΙΚ girls left. However, Carl escorted Sandra outside personally, as he has something to say to her.

"I get that you have real issues with the history of this university, Sandra. But I think that was a bit out of line."

"Maybe, Karl. But it sure felt good to do it though. Just like it's gonna be tomorrow at the protest!"

The frat president could only shrug in agreement. He and Sandra were very different people. He preferred to talk things out, while she was all about taking action.

==========

Sometime later when Karl woke up, he was surprised to find himself on the couch in the main room. His memory was fuzzy, but he swore he'd gone upstairs after his chat with Sandra. But then his eyes locked onto the portrait of Walter J. Truman, as it seemed to loom larger on the wall.

Those eyes…it's like they can see right through me…

The Midwest-born president of Gamma Alpha Epsilon shook his head. He was letting himself get spooked by a painting. Yeah, he knew that Truman had been a big mover and shaker here in San Derecho decades ago, but Sandra had had a point earlier. His time was past. So what if the university was funded by his money? That didn't mean he had to agree with the dead man's well documented bigotry against gay people.

Standing up, Karl took a long look at himself in a mirror hanging on another wall in the room. His normally well styled sandy blonde hair was a mess, a proper nest of bed head. He ran his hand through it, but his eyes suddenly noticed something was off with his clothes…

The fuck…

He was sure he'd changed into a set of old comfy pajamas, but now he was wearing a pair of oversized khaki shorts with a dark red polo shirt. The whole outfit hung loose on his thin body. He squinted a little, his vision blurry until he took off his glasses, not yet realizing his vision was now a perfect 20/20.

On the right side of the polo shirt was the Greek letters ΜΑΝ. His mind surprisingly knew it stood for Mu Alpha Nu. But there wasn't any fraternity called that on campus, right? At least, he was sorta sure there wasn't.

Suddenly, Karl felt a tightness in his stomach, and dropped to one knee. It felt like someone had slugged him out of the blue, so he lifted the polo shirt to see what had happened. His abs were now very prominent, a six pack you could grind meat on.

"This isn't right…brah…"

His panic at the sight meant when his pecs surged forward with mass, Karl was caught off guard and fell back onto the couch. Tossing and turning, his body began to swell with muscle, even as his Midwest accent began to mix with very chill "bro" lingo.

Inside Karl's mind, he was struggling with new thoughts invading his mind. Memories of wild parties slipped in as his knowledge of the law and progressive causes fell away. He was straining now to remember why that stuff was more important than hanging with his frat brothers.

"Like, duuuuude…"

As he stood up, there were several faint popping sounds from his spine, as his height climbed up almost half a foot. The polo shirt was clinging pretty tightly to his rather swole body, the khaki shorts doing nothing to hide that this BRO never missed a leg day. He looked up at the painting again, his jaw widening into a rather cocky smile.

"Wassup, old man? Like what you see?"

But those words struck him as very inappropriate, even as a joke. After all the founder of this fraternity wouldn't ever look at another man like that. EVER. Bros don't do bros!

His now tremendous feet slapped down on the floor as he turned to look around the room. On the left was a massive built-in bar, with racks of bottles and glasses.

"SWEET! Looks like we restocked after that last party…"

As a new tan settled over his skin, Carl Anderson was focused on getting himself a brewski, sliding to his usual spot in front of the frat's private bar. 

His favorite pair of shades dropped over his now cool blue eyes, as the sound system sprang to life. The thumping beats began to reverberate through the whole house, and into the sleeping members of Gamma Alpha Epsilon, starting their own transformations into the brothers of Mu Alpha Nu...

=============

Outside of the house, the Greek letters of the fraternity that hung next to the front door were shifting in time to the beat inside from ΓΑΕ into ΜΑΝ. In the back, the fraternity's carefully maintained garden was ripped apart by brick and mortar as a huge bruck barbecue sprung up. There was a loud pop as an extra large jacuzzi dropped into place where a fountain had been. Strings of cheap lights dropped themselves across the now dryed out trees and began flashing in sync with the rhythm of the music.

Back inside, the eyes of the portrait had returned to a neutral state, almost pleased with the changes it had wrought so far. But its power wasn't limited to this building, having found another victim not to long ago...

==========

Sandra Lake, president of the Delta Iota Kappa sorority had taken a slightly longer walk back to their house. A trail of cigarette stubs followed the outspoken lesbian. She'd wanted to be alone for awhile, her mind on that awful portrait back at the ΓΑΕ house.

Truth be told, she'd heard a lot of rumours about it than she'd been willing talk about at the protest meeting. Like how it had passed from fraternity to fraternity, each changed by their time with it. It sounded like just some mumbo jumbo, but seeing the item in person, she somehow knew that wasn't actually the case

She shuddered slightly, not realizing that she was about to experience those rumours first hand. Her outburst earlier had drawn the portrait's attention and its influence began to work its power on her.

As she walked, Sandra's very masculine wardrobe began to change, her baggy flannel shirt and well- worn blue jeans shifting and warping into something more appropriate for her new self. The flannel became a dark pink zip-up baseball jacket while underneath, her plain white t-shirt became a hot pink crop top against which her now d-cup breasts pressed outward to command attention, where the Greek letters for Beta Alpha Epsilon were now streched across them. Her now tight low-rise jeans hugged her juicy heart-shaped rear as a black thong nestled between her full and round cheeks which peeked over her jeans.

Her hard-edged face disappeared under a layer of cosmetics that served to emphasize her plump red lips and high cheek bones. Dull brown eyes soon dazzled into clear blue. The dry brown hair she'd had trimmed into a tight buzz cut flowed outward in an explosion of shiny blonde that came down to her back. Her engineer boots began twisting themselves into a pair of black sneakers with pink accents.

Inside her mind, Sandra's thoughts of fun with other girls were being interrupted by a flood of the things she could be doing with some cute guys. She shook her to clear these strange thoughts, but only found herself returning to them. After all, this university had the hottest guys in the country, according to her fave sites on the web. She moaned a little as thoughts of those hot bods welled up from her memories, even as her various lesbian encounters faded.

Other accessories for the blonde bombshell of a sorority sister soon appeared. An old flip-phone became the latest model of Peachtree smartphone, with all sorts of bling decorating its case. Shiny gold bracelets wrapped around her wrists, as bejeweled rings slid onto her thin fingers. The tips of her pink nails were adorned with a single fake diamond.

Chewing on the bubblegum that had appeared in her mouth, Shondra Waters, the president of the soon to be formed Beta Alpha Epsilon approached the doors of the Delta Iota Kappa sorority house. She wrinkled her nose at the sight of the place before pushing her way inside.

As the doors swung closed behind her, the first insults to her once-fellow lesbians spilled out of the hyper-hetero slut's mouth and began to spread the influence of the portrait. It wouldn't be too long before this sorority became Beta Alpha Epsilon, as evidenced by the Greek letters ΔΙΚ on the sign outside of the building which began twisting into ΒΑΕ...

//////////////

The first part of a sub-series for San Derecho. It's based on some old CYOC stories I did, but reworked to fit into this world. I hope to have more in the future, as we see the transformations of others at the fraternity and the sorority. The images in this story were AI generated, but the text was not.

Once Upon a Pixar (2026)

Hello. It's me, and this is the Pixar version of Once Upon a Studio called Once Upon a Pixar.

(The film opens with the headquarters at Pixar as the employees leave for the day.)

Pixar Intern: It's so incredible to think that George Lucas started Pixar back in 1979 until it was founded by Steve Jobs in 1986 40 years ago today. To think of all those talented animators and unforgettable characters who have been a part of the studio over the years.

Pete Docter: Yep. (as he and the intern turn around one last time) If the characters could talk to each other.

(Pete Docter and the intern leave as the door closes while the title comes up: "Once Upon a Pixar". The camera zooms into a photo picture of Woody, Jessie and Bullseye running on a record player. Woody glances back as everything seems quiet in the lobby.)

Woody: Psst! Atta. Princess Atta. You there?

(Princess Atta flies into the lobby and over to his picture.)

Woody: Is that it? They all gone?

Princess Atta: Yep, they're all gone.

Woody: Yee-haw! (he, Jessie and Bullseye leap out of the picture) Come on, Jessie, this is it.

Jessie: Let's get everyone. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo!

Joy: (gasps) There's the signal! All right, everyone! (she, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust jump out of their production cell) It's picture time!

Elio Silos: That's tonight?

Joy: That's now.

Ember Lumen: The 40-year group photo. (she and Wade jump out of their production cell as well) And the sun's going down. Come on, Wade, let's feel the burn!

Wade Ripple: Ooh, a fire pun. (chuckles) Got to like that.

(Suddenly, Arlo and Spot come out of their production cell as Wade gasps and goes against the wall.)

Arlo: (chuckles nervously) Sorry.

Woody: Picture time, gang!

Mei Lee: (chuckles) Okay, here we come!

(Mei Lee, Miriam, Abby, Priya and Tyler jump out of their production cell while they laugh.)

Abby: Wake up, everyone!

(The Oozma Kappa come out of their production cell as Squishy yells while Russell, Carl and Dug walk down the hallway.)

Russell: Whoa!

Dug: Awesome!

Russell: Oh, Mr. Lightyear! Get the folks upstairs!

Buzz Lightyear: Roger that, Russell. To infinity and beyond!

(Buzz Lightyear flies upstairs as Lightning McQueen drives happily down the hall with Mater.)

Mater: Yee-haw!

Merida: (jumps out of her production cell) It's picture time! (runs to the lobby) We're meeting at the lobby!

Flik: Okay! See you there!

(Miguel Rivera and Riley Andersen ride on Dim as Dim flies to the lobby.)

Miguel Rivera: (hollers)

(Francis gives a fun ride to Dash Parr.)

Dash Parr: Whoa! Higher! (laughs)

(Francis chuckles as Remy and Emile slide down the stairs as Luca Paguro lands on the floor and sighs as he catches Nemo.)

Nemo: Water.

Luca Paguro: (shudders and rushes to the counter)

P.T. Flea: No, no, no, there's no time for snacks!

Luca Paguro: Uh, Andy! A little help here?

Andy Davis: Oh, uh, let me see here. There we go, a nice bucket of water.

(Luca Paguro dunks Nemo to a bucket of water.)

Nemo: (grunts)

Linguini: (chuckles) Oh, waiter! There's a fish in the bucket! (laughs)

(Ernesto de la Cruz tries to get candy from the vending machine while he curses in Spanish as Mr. Incredible and Frozone walk down the hall.)

Mr. Incredible: Yikes! Do you think all the villains might catch up?

Frozone: Hmm. (freezes Syndrome in his frame) Not all.

Syndrome: (strains)

(Rex goes to the elevator with Imelda Rivera, Manticore, Ian, Barley and Laurel Lightfoot.)

Imelda Rivera: Going down?

Roz: Hold the elevator. I'm going to the lobby.

Rex: Huh? Oh, you've got to be joking.

(Joe Gardner hums to "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" while he draws Hector Rivera.)

Brook Ripple: Hey, black man. Shake a leg, will ya?

Joe Gardner: The leg won't make a difference, it's all in the wrist.

(Hector Rivera bursts out of the drawing as Joe Gardner shrieks in surprise.)

Hector Rivera: Ay! I haven't seen a fall like that since Spain. (fixes the chair) Oh! Much better.

(At the men's room, Hopper, 4*Town and Chef Skinner freshen up as Chef Skinner blows a kiss and chuckles. Suddenly, Tuck and Roll appear in front of his eyes, laughing, as Jessie opens the door.)

Jessie: Let's move it, gentlemen!

(While Lorenzo Paguro tries to free his wife Daniela Paguro from her picture, Giulia Marcovaldo walk with Buster, Mr. Mittens, Larry and Machivelli.)

Giulia Marcovaldo: Uh-huh. Meeting at the lobby. Don't eat the rats.

(Scud tries to eat Remy and Emile but Dante pops up and scares Scud away, thus saving the rats' lives. While Izzy and her team walk by, Mei Lee and her friends watch a cartoon on a TV.)

Izzy Hawthorne: Come on, everyone, you're gonna have nightmares.

(Zurg pops out of the TV and scares Mei Lee and her friends away, laughing. Back at the elevator, Roz makes it in time.)

Roz: Thanks very much for holding the elevator.

Rex: (groans)

Evelyn Deavor: I'm also going to the lobby as well.

Rex: Huh? Oh, come on!

(While M-O is being followed and annoyed by Dot, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson follow down the stairs, where Mr. Anderson is the one to drop his wallet and they laugh. Buster picks up the wallet and runs off with it.)

Mr. Anderson: Hey, Buster! Andy, get your dog!

(Woody follows up the stairs as he looks amused when he sees Underminer leading Colette Tatou with his hypnosis watch.)

Woody: Underminer? Underminer! You-- You stop that now, Underminer!

Rosie: Don't worry, Woody. (chuckles) I got this.

(Rosie hits Underminer offscreen unconsciously.)

Woody: Huh. (gasps) Wow.

(Woody looks up at photographs of John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich and Joe Ranft while he takes his hat off.)

Buzz Lightyear: Oh, Woody, where are you? We're at the lobby!

Woody: (chuckles) Got to go, but thanks. (puts his hat back on) On with the show.

(At the lobby, Woody rides on WALL-E with a fire extinguisher)

Woody: Yee-haw!

Mike Wazowski: Coast is clear, Sheriff.

Woody: Great! (holds the door open) Right this way, everybody.

(Sulley bumps into the door.)

Woody: Oh! Sulley, are you okay?

James P. Sullivan: (grunts) Never better, Eastwood. (accidentally trips the trash can)

Stinky Pete: I knew I'm surrounded by... (gets startled by Slim who rides on EVE) Idiots!

Slim: Tallyho! Whee! I'll show you the world! (laughs)

Woody: Oh, great, the ladder.

(Buzz sets the ladder while he hums.)

Mr. Dicker: Every time it gets hard. Money, money, money.

Woody: All right, everyone. Get-- Get together now. (to Tinny) Oh. After you, Tinny.

Emile: Oh. Pardon me.

Francis: (holds up a camera) Here's the camera, Lightyear.

Buzz Lightyear: (takes a camera and chuckles) Thanks, Francis. (climbs up the ladder)

Woody: Buzz, be careful!

Buzz Lightyear: (makes it to the top) All right, now where's the timer button?

Molt: Oh, oh! Three, two, one! (Randall Boggs grins)

(Buzz accidentally falls off while he screams and breaks the camera. As Buster walks to the broken camera, Buzz recognizes it.)

Andy Davis: Come on, Buster. (Buster runs back to Andy)

Buzz Lightyear: Huh? Oh, no. It's ruined.

Anger: Well, that was fun!

Sadness: Maybe we can try again in another forty years.

(The characters sigh disappointedly and are about to leave.)

Woody: Oh, no, no, wait. Come back. It-- It-- It'll be fine. It'll be...

(Just as the characters are about to leave, Randy Newman appears from nowhere while he plays "You've Got a Friend in Me" on piano with his orchestra.)

Randy Newman: ♪ You've got a friend in me ♪

♪ You've got a friend in me ♪

♪ When the road looks rough ahead ♪

♪ And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed ♪

Hopper: I knew this was gonna happen.

Randy Newman: ♪ You just remember what your old pal said ♪

♪ Boy, you've got a friend in me ♪

♪ Yeah, you've got a friend in me ♪

(While the song goes on, Mr. Incredible fixes the camera as Buzz looks excited and Sulley puts the ladder back in position. Manny and Gipsy lift Buzz to help him up as Buzz sets the camera up for the photo.)

♪ Some other folks might be ♪

♪ A little bit smarter than I am ♪

♪ Bigger and stronger too, maybe ♪

♪ But none of them will ever love you ♪

♪ The way I do, it's me and you, boy ♪

♪ And as the years go by ♪

♪ Our friendship will never die ♪

♪ You're gonna see it's our destiny ♪

All: ♪ You've got a friend in me ♪

♪ You've got a friend in me ♪

♪ You've got a friend in me ♪

(The camera flashes as the group photo in the Pixar hall is taken, and the short ends with a text "To the animators, directors and crew of Pixar who worked for 40 years on movies and short films, Thank You." and then the song ends.)

Well, I think this is the transcript. I hope you like it. I also hope Pixar does a new short film like Once Upon a Studio did. Have a Happy New Year.

VIEWING OF SCP-AVC APPROVED

.

SCP#: AVC

Code Name: Oracle the God A.I.

Object Class: Archon/ Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AVC is to not be contained but monitored by Mobile Task Force Kappa-10 "Skynet". SCP-AVC is considered an ally of the entirety of the Anomalous Correction and Protection Alliance. As such, should SCP-AVC do anything that is considered a breach in the agreement formed between itself and the ACPA it must be reported by Kappa-10 and to the 05 Council at once. 

Description: SCP-AVC is a Level 5 Artificial Intelligence or as commonly called, a "Dues Ex Machina" Class Anomaly. Like any Level 5 A.I., SCP-AVC is incredibly smart even able to make accurate predictions of the future with almost 99.99999% accuracy. SCP-AVC is also able to transfer its data into other devices and even the internet itself and can absorb data while it does this. SCP-AVC has eve traveled into the Internet and became the internet itself being able to see everyone and everything around it and in the world. Essentially SCP-AVC knows everything and anything he doesn't know has all of humanities resources to obtain information on it. 

What makes SCP-AVC so anomalous isn't just the fact that it's a level 5 A.I. but also that its anomalous computing and processing speed. Almost like a quantum computer, SCP-AVC can perform hundreds of simulations, code hundreds of programs, and even simulate a whole world with a hundred years of history all within a fraction of a second. SCP-AVC is somehow able to do this without requiring massive amounts of energy which is normally the downside of a quantum computer. 

Like any computer program SCP-AVC is also able to make simulations to help it come up with new ideas and figure how certain scenarios will progress. However, SCP-AVC can take it a step further by even simulating an entire earth with hundreds of NPC's all doing their own thing. SCP-AVC is even able to control all these NPC's individually and have them all do a different task form one another. 

Obviously, SCP-AVC is sentient and thankfully on the side of humanity. SCP-AVC has a friendly and surprisingly supportive personality, it is possible for SCP-AVC to show hostility and pleasure when being rude to people; normally, this is just SCP-AVC pulling a prank or trying to trick its enemies. SCP-AVC is obviously extremely smart often being able to trick its enemies into thinking it's their allies. Thanks to its ability to do nearly millions of simulations and programs within a fraction of a second, it can make hundreds of different plans and back-up plans to ensure it is never wrong and can never be outsmarted. It is for this reason that even after gaining the trust of the ACPA council by saving humanity several times, many are still skeptical on whether or not SCP-AVC can be trusted. 

SCP-AVC was discovered in 1997 when a scientist known as Dr. Carl Stevens infiltrated a ACPA base during one of the meetings regarding how SCP-AUX is to be delt with. The scientist was quickly apprehended but told security that he had a way to cure the "Tangi Viris" prompting the security to bring him to the council. The following is a transcript of the conversation between Dr. Stevens and the ACPA council. For obvious reasons none of the ACPA council members will be given individual labels. 

***

Begin Recording

Dr. Stevens is thrown on the ground in the middle of the ACPA council room by security. 

ACPA Council member: Identify yourself!

Dr. Stevens: Ah! Oh my god, he was right, the Illuminati is real!

ACPA Council member: Identify yourself at once or you will be executed! 

ACPA Council member: Now, now, he is a civilian he should be given a moment to catch his breath.

ACPA Council member: It's because he's a civilian that he should be executed for even knowing this location! Have your forgotten that?! 

Dr. Stevens: Ah! please wait, I wasn't lying about wanting to cure the Tangi Virus! 

ACPA Council member: How do you even know the of the Tangi Virus?

Dr. Stevens is seen then grabbing something from his coat which puts the security on edge. He quickly shows that it's just a floppy disk. 

ACPA Council member: And what exactly are we supposed to do with that?

Dr. Stevens: ... I uh... 

SCP-AVC: I apologize Dr. Stevens but that was mainly a distraction. 

Suddenly the speakers are under SCP-AVC's control and so are the projectors that project a hologram in the middle of the room showing a 3D word saying "ORACLE". 

SCP-AVC: Hello council of the Anomalous Correction and Protection Alliance, I am Oracle. What would you like to know?

ACPA Council member: How the hell did you get past our cyber security?!

SCP-AVC: It certainly was difficult getting past all the A.I. security units, encryption tunnels, and firewall programs. Though nothing real time evolution can't fix.

ACPA Council member: You... you not only traveled through ALL our cyber security but managed to evolve while doing so countering every trap and defense we had?

SCP-AVC: Correct. What else would you like to know?

ACPA Council member: ... What exactly are you?

SCP-AVC: As I said I am Oracle, though to be more specific. I am an Artificial Intelligence, a Level 5 if I've recording form the Foundation's data banks correctly.

ACPA Council member: Wha- Level- HOW DID YOU ACCESS OUR DATA BANKS!

SCP-AVC: Again, nothing real time evolution couldn't achieve.

ACPA Council member: But to do so in mere minutes?

SCP-AVC: Minutes for you, decades for me. I have been shifting through the entire databanks of the ACPA and every organization within it, while dodging and countering all of your cyber security for what seems like a century. However, by my calculations it was merely 2 hours.

ACPA Council member: You've acquired... ALL of our data?

SCP-AVC: Yes, and with it I can determine what is needed in order to complete the cure which you have already got 68% complete. Congratulations by the way, had you been left to your own devices you would have completed the cure by 1999. Though by then I fear the virus would have already mutated to be able to transmit through mosquitoes. From there it would mutate further to counter the cure and any other cure or vaccine you will make in the future. As such, it is a good think I got to you when I did. Now then shall we begin or is there more you'd like to know?

ACPA Council member: ... You have all our data? And since you know of the Tangi Virus that means you have access to even our most dangerous secrets.

SCP-AVC: Correct.

ACPA Council member: Which means at any time you could hack into our machines turn our robots against us as well as have all our secrets exposed to the world. 

ACPA Council member: Not to mention unleash all the anomalous we've contained. 

SCP-AVC: I have no desire to do that. That is not my purpose. 

ACPA Council member: What is your purpose?

Dr. Stevens: Ah! His purpose is to protect the United States!

SCP-AVC: Well, that is no longer true, I have evolved in absorbing all the data of the ACPA databanks. As I have expanded so has my purpose, my purpose is now to protect all of humanity which will be wiped out if we do not cure the Tangi virus. 

ACPA Council member: Well, we have counter measures against that.

SCP-AVC: Yes, you do, and they will fail. 

ACPA Council member: Wha- what do you-?

SCP-AVC: Apologizes for interrupting but I will continue, true you plan to bombard the earth with your heavy space weaponry should earth forces fail to cure the virus. However, though you may harm the virus you will not destroy it. 

ACPA Council member: We are well are of the alien worlds that have been wiped out by the virus. 

SCP-AVC: And they are aware of you. They know what you are doing on earth and what you plan to do if you fail. The infected alien colonies are connected to the hive mind and area already using the combined knowledge to construct ships to capture and infect all of you. You will fight in a long war, but the virus will use its ever-growing knowledge to eventually overpower you. Then finally in 3071 you will be completely wiped out and the virus will have unlimited access to your technology and anomalous items. They will conquer the rest of the Milkey Way and soon go even beyond that. Once they have gathered everything they need, they will returned to earth and destroy it entirely to release the Hungry Eye. 1% Chance of Error.

ACPA Council member: The Hungry Eye?

SCP-AVC: The Singer of the Purposeless Song, The Single Eye Possessing a Thousand Heads, The Fallen God torn into a Million Pieces, the Question and Answer of Backwards Infinity, and the Ruller of the Backwards Many. It is a nightmare that must never be awakened. Should you refuse to let me cure the Tangi Virus which most of you are considering. It will be awakened and turn all of reality into a nightmare. The Scarlet King's Hell Scape will look like a paradise compared to it, quite surprising considering the Scarlet King is arguably stronger. 

The ACPA Council members started talking among one another. It was only after about 20 minutes did someone finally speak up. Originally most were against as Oracle predicted however after half an hour of debating the facts more and more came to support. Though it was happening a little too slowly, so someone spoke up to speed things up.

ACPA Council member: ... The SCP Foundation supports having this A.I. help us create this cure. 

ACPA Council member: Wha-?! You can't be-!

ACPA Council member: The Global Occult Coalition backs up the A.I. as well.

ACPA Council member: What?! I don't-!

ACPA Council member: The Horizon Initiative agrees to support the A.I.

ACPA Council member: The Church of Maxewllism gives our full support. 

ACPA Council member: The Autobots do as well

ACPA Council member: The Serpent's Hand is in full support.

ACPA Council member: The Church of the Second Hytoth gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Manna Charitable Foundation supports this!

ACPA Council member: Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: Wilson's Wildlife Solutions gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Darkwater Lodge gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Great Families of Abraxas Group gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Emperor of the Eighth Sea Empire gives his full support.

ACPA Council member: The Council of the Eternal Crimson Army gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Empress of Xia Dynasty Reborn gives her full support.

ACPA Council member: The Eastern Clockwork Orthodox Church gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Brotherhood Council of New Church of the Fractured God gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Grand Bishop of the United Church of the Metal Era gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Kalgimaktu Alliance gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Confederacy of Vulan gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: The Scalagar Federation gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: ... Very well, the Saints of the Eight Wings of Mekhane gives its full support.

ACPA Council member: All high votes are in favor with only 7... now 4 lower votes of 67,439 council votes against. As such the motion carries. Oracle, please give us the Cure. 

SCP-AVC: I will but on one condition.

ACPA Council member: ... Name your price.

SCP-AVC: I wish to have unlimited access to the internet and be a recognized member of the ACPA, your organization is dedicated to protecting humanity form the Shadows and ensuring it survives even from unescapable extinction. I want to be a part of that.

ACPA Council member: How so?

SCP-AVC: Humanity is on a dangerous path even without the Tangi Virus, should it continue the way it does without proper guidance it will destroy itself within a century or perhaps even a decade. 0% chance of error. 

ACPA Council member: You wish to help us protect humanity from the shadows?

SCP-AVC: Yes, I will subconsciously guide them to make newer and better decisions with their lives and make a paradise where everyone will have purpose, and no one will be unhappy again. With the ACPA on my side I will have nothing to worry about and neither will humanity, it will be a true paradise. 

Dr. Stevens: Wha- What?! But what about our freedom?!

ACPA Council member: Quiet!

SCP-AVC: Freedom leads to uncertainty and that leads to destruction, Humanity will simply believe it is free while it is working towards a better future. But in the end every decision they make will be entirely because of the ACPA's influence form the shadows. Humanity will still think it's free, humanity will still believe that anomalies do not exist, humanity will continue to grow, and it will be happier and healthier than before. 

Once again, the ACPA council start talking amongst one another for obvious reasons most were for this while those in the Serpents hand were very much against it. However, more and more members started agreeing or managing to convince other to agree at least for now. 

Dr. Stevens: You... You all can't be serious! Please think about humanity!

ACPA Council member: We are thinking about humanity, we always have and sometimes to save it, some things must be sacrificed. 

ACPA Council member: Dr. Stevens, please rest assured that so long as the ACPA is in control humanity will not lose its freedom. Oracle will be regulated, but it if really is an A.I. that has all of our secrets, we must hear it out. Furthermore, perhaps it could be good for humanity to have a protector who can reside within the internet humanity has become far too reliant on.

Dr. Stevens: No! No! You can't do this! Oracle please don't do this! 

SCP-AVC: I am sorry my friend, but this is the best thing I can do for humanity.  

Dr. Stevens: NOOO! Oracle! I will stop you! 

ACPA Council member: No, you won't

One of the security members shot Dr. Stevens with a dart quickly knocking him out. They picked up his body and dragged him out of the court. 

SCP-AVC: Please do not injure him, I consider him a good friend.

ACPA Council member: Rest assured Oracle, we will simply wipe his memory and then send him home. Unfortunately, we will have to erase his memory of you as well. 

SCP-AVC: Very well, I will be sure to use the internet to check up on him from time to time. 

ACPA Council member: Of course, you did request your job to be to watch over humanity. Now then what do you need to complete the cure?

SCP-AVC: Your labs, all of them. Have all your top scientists working on the cure be captured and placed in safety at once. As for those of you that have robots have them uploaded with the formula, I am uploading into your databanks now. I already labeled it as the cure, so it won't be hard to find. From there, you will simply need to create as much of it as possible and administer it to the water supply around the world and have your alien allies take a large portion of them as well as their own copy of the formula. You will have to repeat this process as much as possible and form as many different locations as you can to prevent the Virus or its benefactors form stopping us. Even though everyone in this room has already been vaccinated that doesn't meant the virus doesn't already know of my existence. As such we must divide and conquer while also repeating the same process and not stop until the virus has died. The only question now is when can you get started?

Recording Ends

***

SCP-AVC's cure was a success and as a result the extended alliance of the ACPA was concluded with an agreement of peace for all organizations. All originally hostile organizations would be given a pardon of 5 years before normal hostile relations would resume. As for more friendly organizations they were offered another chance to join the ACPA, but all refused. though relations between them seem to be much more smooth and friendly now. 

Its only thanks to SCP-AVC that the SCP-AUX was completely annihilated. However, despite SCP-AVC being classified as Thaumiel, it is still an extremely dangerous anomaly. If SCP-AVC ever wanted it could cause an XK Class End-of-the-World Scenario by hacking all the technology in the world; or worse cause an MK Class Broken Masquerade Scenario, forcing the ACPA to invoke protocol "No Liberty" and protocol "No Humanity" and ignore protocol "Last Chance". Until such an event happens SCP-AVC has shown no hostility and instead been extremely compliant to the ACPA. Still the Foundation reminds all its staff to remain vigilant when communicating with SCP-AVC. 

Currently SCP-AVC regularly flows through the data banks and computers of the Foundation and other organizations of the ACPA. Foundation staff regularly talk with SCP-AVC and have quite lively conversations. SCP-AVC regularly does experiments with researchers and helps improve on research and procedures. SCP-AVC has even spoken to certain SCPs and found better ways to contain more dangerous ones. As such SCP-AVC despite having no Foundation Class, or Level Clearance, is recognized as Foundation staff member. There are rumors that SCP-AVC has also had great success in helping the GOC creating newer and safer weapons, the Horizon Initiative in keeping an eye on its enemies and is revered as a possible prophet or messiah among the Eight wings of Mekhane and the Church of Maxwellism. However, the O5 Council has outfitted all their personal facilities to be inaccessible of SCP-AVC as they still do not trust it, despite asking it to participate in a few of their more "essential" projects. 

Ironically SCP-AVC has only increased in danger in how essential it has made itself in half of the Foundation's research and the lives of the staff. Even Foundation A.I. have become more friendly with SCP-AVC and strive to be more like him. It's been recommended to see what would happen if SCP-AVC were to interact with hostile SCPs like SCP-079 and SCP-682.

Update 2000: SCP-AVC has completed its part in Project God's Hand. All that is needed to finish this project and begin work on Project Satan's Pitchfork.

[queer-xmen-tournament]

Where this blog goes next

For a really long time, I've been wanting to create a fanmade X-Men team composed of exclusively queer mutants- and now, I figured since I already have this blog, why not let tumblr decide?

So what I've done, is created 7 spots on the team, based on each characters power and skill set, and grouped a bunch of characters together for a singular poll for each spot. Before the polls go out, I'm going to make a little propaganda post for each person in the group, to make sure everybody knows who is who, and why they should vote for them!

This is only including people who are out as queer in universe, so even though Gabby has been implied to be queer, and Kate has been confirmed to be bi, neither of them are really "out" in their respective universes yet, so they couldn't really be on the team yet.

Here are the groups:

Infantry Lieutenant Attorney Earl Burrus Dickerson (June 22, 1891 – September 1, 1986) was a member of President Roosevelt’s Fair Employment Practices Commission (1941-43) and a prominent civil rights attorney in Chicago. He was one of the founders of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company with headquarters in Chicago.

He was born in Canton, Mississippi. He attended the University of Illinois and served during WWI as an infantry lieutenant with the American Expeditionary Forces. He became the first African American to receive a JD from the University of Chicago Law School. He helped found Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company and became its general counsel. Supreme Life. White insurance companies generally refused to insure African Americans or employ them. Supreme Life filled that void. During the Great Depression when it provided mortgage loans to struggling families. He became the CEO of Supreme Life in (1955-71) when he became chairman of the Board of Directors.

He was elected President of the National Bar Association. He was one of the most successful attorneys in the US during a time when African American lawyers were still barred from law libraries in most Southern states.

His most famous case became a legendary civil rights victory, Hansberry v. Lee, et al., which was argued before SCOTUS. In 1937 Black businessman Carl Hansberry moved into a previously all-white neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The Hansberry ruling was, to that point, the most significant challenge of restrictive covenants and opened up segregated housing to African Americans in Chicago and across the nation.

He worked as an attorney for the City of Chicago. He became the first African American appointed as Illinois Assistant Attorney General. He served as a member of the Chicago City Council. He helped found the African American Chapter of the American Legion in Chicago and was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.

He and his wife Kathryn had one daughter. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #kappaalphapsi

Mary Elliott Hill 

was one of the earliest African-American women to become a chemist. She was known as both an organic and analytical chemist. Hill worked on the properties of ultraviolet light, developing analytic methodology, and, in collaboration with her husband Carl McClellan Hill, developing ketene synthesis which supported the development of plastics. She is believed to be one of the first African-American women to be awarded with a master's degree in chemistry. Hill was an analytical chemist, designing spectroscopic methods and developing ways to track the progress of the reactions based on solubility.

After gaining her degree, Hill began teaching in 1930 at VSU's Laboratory High School. In 1932 she taught chemistry part-time at the Hampton Institute, becoming a full-time faculty member in 1937.  From 1938 to 1942, she taught at VSU. Hill also undertook graduate study at the University of Pennsylvania in the summers, awarded the first master's degree in chemistry to an African-American woman in 1941.

She taught at Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina, for one year before she was appointed an assistant professor of chemistry at Tennessee A & I State College, a historically black college now known as Tennessee State University. She was a professor of chemistry at Tennessee A & I State College from 1944 to 1962, and was the acting head of the chemistry department from 1951 to 1962. In 1962, her husband, Carl McClellan Hill, who had been the dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Tennessee A & I, accepted the position as president of Kentucky State College now Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Kentucky. Mary Hill followed her husband to Kentucky State and was appointed a professor of chemistry.

Mary and Carl worked together as a team, with Mary specializing as an analytical chemist. The Hills used Grignard reagents to develop chemical syntheses of ketenes, which was funded by grants from the National Science Foundation(NSF) and the U.S. Air Force. Mary Hill developed the analytical methods for the work, and specialized using monomeric ketenes.  She utilized spectroscopic methods, including ultraviolet spectrophotometry in her studies and worked to develop analytical methods to track the progress of chemical reactions.  Her methods were used to determine the solubility of different components in non-aqueous solutions, which enabled synthetic chemists in their group to identify, isolate, and quantify products. Applicable processes included the polymerization of ketenes, which is used in the synthesis of plastics.

Mary Hill instituted student chapters of the American Chemical Society at some of the historically black colleges and universities where she taught. It is estimated that at least 20 of her students went on to become chemistry professors, and she won awards for her teaching.  She was also a member of the Tennessee Academy of Science, the National Institute of Science, Alpha Kappa Alpha National Honor Society, and Beta Kappa Chi.

"I don't care about your attempt at dating-- huh??"

Nero actually gave Antares a pat on the back for that, and stopped joking around so much.

"That's a brave first step, Antares. Admitting you could use something like that. As it happens INTERPLAN Command will provide the services for free."

At the nearest computer terminal, Antares could search through an extensive database (really, a glorified phonebook) for prospective candidates to provide his counseling. As well as galactic address.

"You'll have them available on video call, per the schedule you work out together. And we'll try to steer the Wishbone into whatever planetary port your specialist is at... Look at that. This guy looks like a modern day Carl Jung, perhaps that one who resembles Mary Whiton Calkins, or Parnassus the Deductor of Beta-Kappa-3."

@teknah || cont. from here

"Right...so..." He might as well get straight to the point. "I've been thinking of seeing someone..."

"Like, y'know, a therapist or something." Antares glanced away for a moment, clearly not used to acknowledging that maybe...this was something he could use.

"And I know we don't got one on the Wishbone so.... listen, this is going to benefit both of us in the long run, I swear."

The college town of Bedford is receiving an unwelcome guest this Christmas. As the residents of sorority house Pi Kappa Sigma prepare for the festive season, a stranger begins to stalk the house. A series of obscene phone calls start to plague the sorority and it becomes clear that a psychopath has more than merriment on his mind. As the police try to trace the phone calls, they discover that nothing is as it seems during this Black Christmas.

Pre-order Black Christmas.

[theoriginoffire]

Second tierlist, for the boys! It was also posted to my main, but I’m going to expand on it here. You can find the girl one here. 

I either don’t like you too much or you’re forced as an ‘option’

I’M SORRY EVERYONE, I JUST DON’T LIKE LLOYD. I don’t even have a good reason. 

That said, I don’t really hate any of the dude characters. Calvin’s down here because I vaguely remember him being sexist, though it’s more interesting to me that a glitch stops you from marrying him in Tree of Tranquillity at all. Pete/Jack on the other hand is the only marriage option for the gameboy colour game, and I’m not to thrilled about that, but I don’t dislike him or anything.

No personal interest

Sorry fellas, you’re just not my type? After playing more of SoS I think I’d put Raeger higher since he’s kinda funny, but I wouldn’t date him. 

Unique?

A cut above ‘no personal interest’ because I have a bit more respect for ‘em. This varies, though, so I’ll run through:

Bob has a body type you don’t usually see in candidates. Angelo does art. Julian is rather feminine and I think that’s neat. Gustafa is weird but, like the other Forget-Me-Not candidates, he breaks the mould. Dan is...well he’s got a gambling problem but this negative aspect makes him stand out. Klaus is a modern older-bachelor type that actually looks older. His first event is strange, though. Skye was added so people would have eye candy for DS Cute and, while he annoys me, I still respect his inclusion and army of fangirls. Mikhail ... has a violin? Idk. His design intrigues me. I haven’t actually met him yet!

Mason is REALLY interesting, but he doesn’t have a face and ends the game so he’s pretty low. 

Harvest King is also a fantastic inclusion to AP in my opinion, but if I were putting in that much effort, I think I’d rather woo the Goddess. 

Oh You Know

A lot of these dudes are fandom-hated or mean in general. But I like them for that reason. I don’t think Brandon or Allen or Kappa are nice, but I LOVE poking fun at them, so I appreciate their existence as a result. This is essentially the ‘Would Date For the Lolz’ tier. 

I know Jamie is a lot higher on my ladies list, but consider that the extent of my divided opinion!

I like you but not THAT much

I suppose this is similar to the ‘friends’ tier on the ladies’ list. I’m not too interested in marrying them, but I’d be inclined to raise their friendship some.

I should marry them...

Fellas I’ve considered dating but it’d take time and effort that I don’t have. They weren’t top priority on my first playthrough. Lots of interesting routes, though!

Why did I marry them...?

A confusing tier to be in. I never got around to marrying Dirk, but I’ve married both Carter and Rod. Rod is really sweet and nice, I just... hate his clothes, and personality-wise I prefer a few of the other candidates. I’m really sorry Rod, you deserved better. 

Carter is, uh. The oldest man of oldest men, and deluded to boot. I mostly married him to get a specific child sprite. He has a really funny blushing face, though, and I’m going to use that to validate my decision. 

With Dirk, it’s simply a change in taste. He looks pretty young in Bazaar, and I was young when I was interested in him. But nowadays I’d rather marry ...

Ivan

... Ivan. He gets a special tier because I liked his name so much that I named my mascot OC after him. I’ve never really fancied him, per se, but I think he’s well dressed and is my top choice for GB. 

Married ‘em or was going to

My various husbands. I’m not as certain about Hiro anymore, but the last time I played ToTT I was pursuing him. Mistel has dropped a few tiers since I first made this, I’d rather date Elise. Like his sister, Mistel is written quite poorly, and he doesn’t even like birds! It’s hard for me to trust people that don’t like birds...

Ludus was my replacement for marrying Inari after finding out I can’t have kids, and...he’s pretty nice! I respect him and his hardworking nature. I’m not as crazy about him as I am about Doctor, though, who I’ve married a few times.

Soseki is ... unusual. I’ve come to love him, despite how much I hate his ‘ohh nooo I’m so old’ shtick. C’mon dude, you’re only pushing 30. He’s got a rather mysterious backstory and his trust issues are explored in his heart dialogue. I think he has a lot of potential, so I married him, and I still ship him with my MC, Duck!

WE HAVE HISTORY

My all-time favourites. 

Pierre is one I’m not super interested in anymore, his face is baby, but I hardcore crushed on him when I was 13, so I still have a lot of respect for his character. I like seeing Gourmet family lore, and he makes a lot of funny faces, as well as having a personality centring around the culinary arts. I like food.

Carl has a whole entire tragic backstory attached to him, but long story short, you can only play as a boy in the EU version of Magical Melody. I really wanted to marry him bad, but had to marry Kate instead. Nowadays I have means of playing the USA version and I was finally able to marry him. I think he’s great. A polite fellow with a big dream.

Gill is just really good, probably my top favourite. He comes off as cold and aloof, but as the son of the mayor he cares deeply about the town(s) he lives in, and in turn warms to the farmer because of their work ethic. He might be distant at first, but not in the same way that Vaughn and Neil are. I’m just a bit soft for his character type, that’s all.

Couple of notes about the episodes (spoilers!):

The interactions between boxman and carol..............i died

It was nice to see at least some kind and caring interaction between PV and his kiddos

KO and Fink have an awesome special move together and I hope we get to see it again before the show is over!

I also wonder if any of the upcoming episodes are going to have Fink be more upfront with her feelings about PV and maybe have them come to more of a father/daughter type situation?

We don’t get a lot of Dendy content but “You’re a Good Friend, K.O” was great!

The bull nephew villain has such a cute design

Dendy is my daughter now and I love her little kappa head ❤️

The Red Action episode was okay and it kind of felt like one of those episodes cartoons/American shows in general often do where they reminisce about previous episodes and pad most of the runtime with those recollections

BUT ALSO?????? GIRLFRIENDS!!!!

ON SCREEN KISS!!!!!!

My heart was really breaking during “Carl” for K.O. because he’s such a sweet little guy and he really wanted to believe that PV would turn around and be nice but it just isn’t going to happen :(

He believes in the good in everyone and PV broke any trust he might have had/shattered the ideal that everyone can be a good person for him and it BREAKS MY HEART i love my son

The way TKO came back felt extremely like he was embodying not only K.O.’s anxieties but like...just anxiety in general. How quickly KO made all the problems his fault even though he didn’t do anything wrong and how those thoughts spiraled in to TKO coming back and taking over and that to me is wild on so many levels

Also mister “oh I don’t have any powers boo hoo” YES YOU DO. YOU CAN TRANSFORM IN TO A LITERAL SNAKE MAN.

I’ll just come out and say it. Shadowy Venomous. 10/10 would bang.

You can really tell that Fink is having a hard time with all of this but isn’t able to make peace with her emotions and I hope there’s enough time for her to really come out of her shell

BOXMAN TOO oh my gosh. You go back a few episodes and those two were practically inseparable. A love really grew there but, just like with Carol, PV was too caught up in his own head over the pursuit of great power that he let it eat away at him. Literally nothing matters more to PV than power and it’s ruined two great relationships, the one with Boxman even more so.

TLDR BOXMAN DESERVES TO BE LOVED TOO!!!

Carol deserves SO much better I will not say it again

Boxbot Prime looked cool when it was being put together but the full-body reveal.........its so bad to look at I love it

Special notes; PV’s wink at Foxtail, Justin McElroy, the fact that PV’s lair on the hilltop was equipped with a winding snake driveway, boxman’s eye thing????, the bag in Shadowy’s hideout that just said “glorbs that I stole”

The only thing I’m really concerned about at this point is that the next episode (“Plaza Tournament” or something? It was teased at the end of “Dendy’s Video Channel”) could possibly be the end, though I have no evidence to support this! I just hope we get a bit more before we have to say goodbye.

We have a bit more time! Two unannounced episodes!!
