#Cc the other cult guy

[wisewordsofpolly]

ok but this song go hard

[jupiterjunebug]

Being in the comics g! J0e fandom is an exercise in constantly reliving the "is it problematic to sexualize hydra" discourse in my own head abt the guy who, in the original marvel comics, pops sig heils and is a thinly veiled reference to kkk/neo nazi shit

Blog Introduction.

Marhaba, Salut, Hello.

My blog is mostly centered around the Maasverse.

I don't claim to know what it's like or what it takes to write a successful series, let alone multiple, and I never will.

These are my opinions, mostly based on the ACOTAR series, soon enough TOG (a much needed reread before I can give my solid opinion) and CC (whenever I get to actually reading it.)

Heavily centered tags: Anti Rhysand, Anti Feyre, Anti Feysand, Anti IC, Anti Nessian, Anti Cassian, Anti Amren, Anti Mor.

Pro Lucien, Pro Eris, Pro Tamlin, Pro Nesta, Pro Gwyn, Pro Emerie, Pro Tarquin, Pro Helion, Pro Thesan.

Neutral: Azriel, Elain, Vassa, Jurian, Kallias, Viviane, literally anyone else left.

▪︎Anti Rhysand: I can't stand the guy. Plain and simple.

▪︎Anti Feyre: I liked her in the first book, even a few chapters into AF, where that Feyre went, I'll never know.

▪︎Anti Feysand: The most obnoxious rulers in all of Prythian. It would've been fine if they had anything to back it up with, but they don't.

▪︎Anti IC: This one is obvious. They're more like an inbred cult than a found family.

▪︎Anti Nessian: I deluded myself that the bond is Made, and I stand by that.

▪︎Anti Cassian: He's the worst mate ever written by SJM, and that's saying something since she wrote Rhysand.

▪︎Anti Amren: I could tolerate her in AF, but she's completely unnecessary after WAR.

▪︎Anti Mor: Could've been a great character, failed her miserably in whatever it is she is now.

▪︎Pro Lucien: Why wouldn't I be? Easily the best written character in the series.

▪︎Pro Eris: Everything is not as it seems. Maybe I'll eat my words later on, maybe I won't. We'll see.

▪︎Pro Tamlin: This is a tricky one. I don't condone/encourage/find what he did okay pre-petty Feyre revenge. However, he's more than made up and paid for it.

▪︎Pro Nesta: I also don't condone her actions in the first few chapters of TAR, some of SF, but again, she's more than made up for it.

▪︎Pro Gwyn, Emerie, Tarquin, Helion, Thesan: Obvious reasons.

▪︎Azriel: He's there, I guess. I'm disappointed with the way he was written, but yk. Waiting for his book to make up my mind.

▪︎Elain: She's also there. Idk. From what I did see of her in the books, she's alright. Hated her for not standing up for Nesta, but I'm over it.

▪︎Kallias and Viviane: I loved their story, at least the bits that we saw. However, I'll forever judge them for not hounding Rhysand about the 'other' Daemati's name. I'll keep believing he did it until anon Daemati's head is brought and shown.

▪︎Vassa, Jurian: Gave Lucien a place in the band of Exiles. Nothing more needs to be said.

I'm team Elucien all the way.

Iffy about if Gwynriel will happen, but I would love to see them together.

If these are not your things, it's totally your choice. Feel free to leave, or if you want to debate, I'm all for it as long as neither if us try to convince the other of something and try to shove it down the other's throat.

I do post other things, or I'm going to, mostly book reviews based on these genres: Romantasy, Fantasy, Mystery, YA, Dark Romance.

Also, English isn't my first or second language. If I make grammar/vocabulary mistakes, this is my sorry in advance.

Okay, I think that's it.

Byeeee.

Hello CC fandom!

I've been lurking on CC Tumblr for a hot minute, and decided I needed to talk to people about the Facebook murder hidden objects/visual novel game. The brainrot won over the anxiety XD

I don't actually know a lot about the later games ( I watched like half of travel in time and the beginning district of MoTP and honestly it didn't feel the same. ) I mostly just brainrot over Pacific Bay and Save the World. I don't know why, but those are just MY games, you feel? The characters are just great, I vibe with them a lot. That being said, I doodled some of them!

I have no explanations or context except this. Amy influenced by Russell and the entirety of Pacific Bay would be unhinged in a good way. They become the CC equivalent of ' go kick his ass bby I got your flower ' if you get what I mean.

Angela loves Lars, I will die on that hill. She loves everyone, but Sombra is... Yknow, Sombra. Tell me they didn't try to threaten her husband and kids at least once, I dare you. Maybe it's me looking for nuance, but I firmly believe that besides her being raised in a cult essentially ( one of their branches literally was one ) she also thought there literally was no way she could stay with the team without sacrificing her family. I mean, Sombra agents got into and almost killed people in the Bureau multiple times. The only reason they didn't is because Jonah exists and he's not having any of it.

Speaking of STW, Michelle deserved better. I don't know why exactly, but I headcanon that because they were never shown together ( or so I remember ) she knew Jonah. Maybe she hired him for protection once. No other reason other than I feel they'd be those two friends that stay sober and drive everyone home after a party.

I'm really speaking about this because I randomly doodled these five, so I might as well give my thoughts.

I swear, I feel parched for interaction, I need more people to nerd out with over these games, even though I'm busy these days and likely will be. Is there maybe a discord server? Maybe I'll also lurk there ( likely not, knowing how excited I am to share all my little headcanons about these two games in particular) but it'll just feel nice to have that space to view more of people talking about the game. •^•

I'm open to doodling some more characters, but I'm doing it from memory, while bored at a seminar thing - and I'm also taking notes. I am a master of multitasking clearly. These are all done at the back of my notepad. XD

I suppose you guys can ask and I'll figure it out. I'm also probably going to give my thoughts on each character, or the little I remember if I don't.

I'm planning on rewatching Grimsborough gameplay soon because half of it has left my mind, and there isn't much emotional attachment, as with these two games, so... Yeah!

This is wordy because I'm feeling awkward posting into a smol fandom Tumblr honestly. I know it's not a crime at all, but it feels like I'm intruding into a sacred space or something XD

Well, I'll get used to it. So will you, hopefully. 👀💫

Sweet Music Playing In The Dark (Be Still, My Foolish Heart) [ Part Four ]

[ Part 1 ] [ Part 2 ] [ Part 3 ]

{ I'm 100% not writing these in chronological order. I just write them as the ideas come and they don't come in order of the story. Just in moments inspired by the songs. Hopefully y'all still enjoy them!!! Cuz i really love this little story. Even though it's like a little patchwork quilt of a thing. 💛💙💛 }

🍒🍒🍒

They've been together for a bit. Their relationship is still private. For the most part. But they're very publicly friends. Always together and laughing and adorable. But in private, they're dating. Taking it slow. Cuz touring life is bonkers and they're both busy writing and doing their music.

But Eddie starts seeing some shit from Steve's fans. Like, an oddly puritanical little sub group. That the other fans are always like "no thank you. Please don't associate with us OR steve please." And They've been posting things about eddie "corrupting" steve and saying shit like, "Eddie's making him go down a path he'd never choose on his own".

And that Eddie's a cult leader and indoctrinating steve. And some even say shit about robin and chrissy too. That they're like, Eddie's cult wives. And they sent him some of those comments and Chrissy was like,

"Robin's gagging. She loves you. But she's gagging." And Eddie laughs so hard he almost falls out of his chair. But he takes the comments and shows Steve.

Because he is not social media guy. He's never on there. And he reads some of them and just keeps frowning and frowning and eddie just curls into his side and is like,

"hey. Its okay. I don't care that they're saying that. I play up the cult thing. You know that." Steve did know that. Loved it. Bought Eddie a shirt that said "cult leader" on it. It's a pink crop top and Eddie adores it. It's his favorite shirt. But steve is like,

"some of these are really mean Ed's." Some of them even mentioned Nancy and how she was so good for steve and so pure and blah blah blah. Eddie snorts VERY loud at that, says,

"did they miss her cheating on you? Just ignoring that are they?" And steve frowns more, says,

"that was never really said publicly." And Eddie's takes his hand, laces their fingers together and says,

"People know Steve. They saw through her. Okay? Just like I did. Your real fans love you. And some of them even love me now." He says, cheeky glint in his eyes. And then he's smiling too, all big and sharp and Steve's like,

"i know that face... what are you planning?" And he's already almost smiling himself, knows its gonna be good. And eddie just wiggles his eyebrows, says,

"I had this idea... for a video. And the idea wasn't originally to have YOU in the video. But I've been thinking, since reading all that shit. That maybe we should have some fun." He leans closer, presses soft kisses to Steve's cheek, the corner of his mouth.

"What did you have in mind?" Steve asks, his eyes closing as he sighs into Eddie's soft touches. Eddie hums, kisses him again, nuzzles into his cheek and kisses down his neck. Pushes steve into his couch and tells him all about it.

~°~

What Eddie had in mind, was this. First, he, Steve, robin, and chrissy are all gonna be in the video. And the CC boys, playing in the background.

Eddie has a warehouse that he bought to make his videos, and others videos, and he does band photoshoots there sometimes. Has done several for Robin and Chrissy and a few for some other artists he's friends with. He loves doing weird little videos with just his friends.

So they go there, the set is literally just a ton of white cloth drapped everywhere. White on white on white. The band is playing all white instruments, the background is white velvet curtains.

Chrissy is in a beautiful white dress. Perfect and pristine, her hair all done with curls, her nails a pretty pearl. Robin's in a snug white suit. Waistcoat and all. Her hair slicked back.

Steve is in fancy white dress pants, a white tank under an open white shirt sleeved button down, Eddie let him do whatever he wanted with his hair, its neat and swoopy and perfect. The CC boys are all in matching white mechanic jumpsuits, white lines painted across their eyes.

Eddie had told them all the required colors and let them dress how they wanted. Told them what would be happening to the clothes too, so they knew.

And Eddie, he's in black skinny jeans, ripped at the knees, and is favorite pink crop top, CULT LEADER, printed in black across his chest in bold letters.

Steve can't take his eyes off him. Eddie makes his rounds, making sure everything is ready. And then walks up to Steve.

"You sure you wanna do this?" He asks, hands on Steve's hips as Chrissy and Robin lean against each other as they wait. Steve just stares at him, bites his lip, and nods.

"Yeah. Let's do this." His eyes are full of excitement and Eddie matches it, his cheeks dimpling as he nods.

They release the video a week later.

~°~

The video opens with Eddie and the band just silhouetted against the background. The music plays and the lights come up when Eddie claps twice and he starts singing, moving and jumping in place to the beat. And when he says,

"is this what you wanted?" The camera jump cuts to Steve and Robin and Chrissy all standing off to the side, stock still, looking a bit like they're in a trance as they answer,

"no!" Eddie sings,

"you want some more?" And they all turn in unison to look at him when they answer,

"yes" and then the lights go up even more, the bright white around them all, their clothes, the velvet, all of it seeming to shimmer as they dance around, moving closer and closer to Eddie as he sings. Eddie looks directly into the camera when he sings,

"who's keeping score?" And then the chorus hits and his attention is all on steve, his hand moving up Steve's neck as he sings,

"cuz youve got a taste now." And steve leans into his touch, looking helpless to it. Robin does the same to chrissy,  her and Eddie in synch as they draw in their partners, touching them and moving with them as Eddie sings about no one loving him like he loves him, steve smirking, his eyes closed, letting eddie touch and move him however he likes, and then Eddie sings,

"but you should've known, that this was gonna end in tears" and "blood" starts falling on them all, red stains blooming across the sea of white, all their clothes bleeding red as Eddie screams the next parts. Steve and the girls jumping and dancing and singing in the bloodrain, Eddie crooks his finger at steve when he sings,

"now come here and give me a hug" and steve saunters over, his hair dripping red as he falls into Eddie's arms. Eddie lowers him to the ground for the next part, his fingers moving and dancing across Steve's throat as he sings,

"i got my hands around your throat. I love way you choke." He dips down further, his lips brushing Steve's as he looks up at eddie, adoration in his eyes, both of them dripping blood as eddie sings,

"Cause i am yours and you are mine, I'll never let you go" right against Steve's lips, and Steve fucking arches into it, his palms flat on the gound.

Chrissy and Robin are fucking waltzing through the blood behind them, their feet kicking at the puddles of blood they glide through, moving across the "stage" as the camera pans after them, capturing the CC boys as well, all of them stained red, their instruments dripping and splashing as they play their hearts out. .

And then eddie is standing, singing the verse again as he moves his hands over steve, and Steve moves with his hands, like a puppet under Eddie's control, dancing and rolling in the blood on the floor. And then Eddie screams,

"GET THE FUCK UP" and steve is on his feet in an instant. Dancing and spinning through the guitar solo until it stops and he freezes, making like he's going to fall back to the floor before Eddie catches him in his arms.

Steve straightens, Eddie spins him and he and drapes himself over Eddie's back, Chrissy does the same to Robin behind them. Steve's hands moving over Eddie's chest and up his neck languidly, slow, with a purpose, dragging his hands through the blood thats covering them all now, Chrissy drops her head back onto Robin's shoulder as Robin tucks her arm loosly around her neck. Eddie stares straight at steve when he sings,

"nobody love you like i love you, oh my dear." And then they both drop their gazes to the camera, looking right at the audience as eddie sings and then screams,

"you should have known. This was gonna end in tears." Steve dropping his chin on Eddie's shoulder as he mirrors Robin's hold on Chrissy.

Eddie's voice goes quiet at the end, him and steve and the girls genlty swaying as the blood falling drenches them, their clothes and everything around them soaked a dark red now.

Eddie and Steve all tangled together just like Robin and Chrissy as the screen fades to black. And just before you loose sight of them all you can see them all laughing together right before Steve tightens his hold on Eddie's neck and pulls him into a kiss.

~°~

They release the video and all their fans go fucking NUTS. Partially because Eddie posted it and captioned it,

"hey. Me and my boyfriend made you guys something." And he puts a little kissy emoji. And everyone FREAKS out. And of course the purity people show up and start being like,

"see! See! His shirt even says it! He's a cult leader!" And people start saying steve looks drugged. Which eddie immediately shuts down and blocks them. But the CCboys go into the comments, cuz they're tired of it. They love steve, and eddie. And them together. And they're like,

"y'all realize they made this video BECAUSE of you nutballs right???" and chrissy and robin just respond to their comment with,

"right???" And like fifteen laughing emojis.

And steve and eddie just turn off their phones and eddie tugs steve into bed and they lay there, just breathing together. And steve nuzzles into his chest and smiles and says,

"at least most of the blood came out of your shirt." Eddie hums, moves his fingers into Steve's hair and says,

"i knew it would. Just a little darker now." He presses a kiss into Steve's hair too, for good measure. Steve wraps his arm tighter around eddie, cuddles closer, whispers,

"just like me." And kisses Eddie's chest as he laughs, tugs on Steve's hair so that Steve's looking up at him and says,

"just like you. Dark and corrupted. Just the way i like you." Eddie teases, both of them laughing into their kiss as Steve drapes himself over Eddie.

When they turn their phones back on they're met by several croped headlines sent to them, and marked up and memed, by Chrissy and Robin. Followed by a text that says,

"congratulations on the big gay announcement! Thanks for letting us be a part of it!" Followed by every single heart emoji they could find and a few edits of themselves with hearts for eyes.

They laugh so hard steve snorts into Eddie's shoulder and eddie almost chokes on the chocolate chip pancakes steve had made him.

Eddie had corrupted him into making breakfast in bed. If only his fans fucking knew.

Okay, I’m gonna mix topics now. So we know that HL are who they are because they literally grew up together, faced everything together, went through multiple losses, facing and fighting against their closet together, stunting and other horrible things we probably have no idea about but luckily they are still there and making music and touring because at the end of the day they have each other and they come back to each other no matter what sh*tshow they went through at that moment. And they ground each other, when they come back from their larry mia time, they are like charged batteries. So I’m just thinking if Shawn had someone beside him like H has Louis and Louis has H, someone who will truly take care for him and won’t manipulate him, maybe we will have a totally different person, what do you think? It sounds valid to me what you wrote that he’s easily manipulated, led and people take advantage from him and we can see how he’s struggling with his mental health. Idk how much he’s struggling because of realizing his sexuality and facing his closet but HL went through it together and they stayed together. Maybe Shawn will rise again, he’s still in his 20’s, he’s handsome and i believe he’s a very good and kind guy but rn I really see how he’s struggling, this reunion with CC with hopefully will end up just like how it looks like rn (eventho I’m not sure when you wrote that she wanted to stunt with multiple men and everyone said no, if she really won’t end up with Sh*wn because he’s too kind to say no imo).

Hi, anon!

I think that if Shawn had a partner by his side while being shot to fame and dealing with being closeted, he would be a different person. I think Shawn needs to come out. It's the best thing for him, for his mental health, for his happiness and for people not to take advantage of him and his weakness (people knowing he's closeted). The sooner it happens for him the better. He's on a destructive path now, and i'm not sure he realises it. He needs to get away from that cult, and other people's control over him, and surround himself with people who wants him well, without themselves benefiting from it. Shawn can still turn his career around, but i don't think he'll manage to do it until he comes out.

Episode 10! This one took me a while. I got distracted by all sorts of things. The stage mechanic is a pain in the butt!! Even having had pre-prep with it from CC events, it is depressingly common for the artillery to switch targeting at the last minute because you missed one enemy in the pile of guys coming at you.

This little scrimblo is the face of evil. Cause of many leaks. If you're kind of sleepy or out of it or tired after a long day of work the Second Defense Artillery mechanic turns into a slot machine that sometimes just kills your clear for no apparent reason (you forgot that this character had 1 higher block than this other one) Story thoughts and unmarked spoilers after the cut!

I'm slow to get to Act 2 of the Arknights story. Over the time I've seen people in various fan communities talk about how they don't like it, how it feels slow to them, or how they think all the Sarkaz are irredeemable bastards. Well now with episode 10 I'm into it proper and while I see the complaints I like the story! I like reading academic works about military history and the history of genocides now and again, so, I'm definitely not the 'normal' audience. But the Kazdel Military Comission is very familiar and 'realistic'.

Theresis and his bros. There's not many...

First off it doesn't have the support of all, or even necessarily most Sarkaz. There's the Confessarius, a small secretive organization that's hung around the crown like ivy; the Sanguinarch of Vampires and the Nachzehrer king, two absolute freak monsters; the Damazti Cluster, who's just One Slime. Certainly Theresis has a lot of soldiers; but of the political leaders that make up Sarkaz politics, he essentially has the trust only of the most violently extreme half of things. Theresis's plan seems to be to simultaneously wage war on the nations of Terra, to restore Sarkaz glory or at least give teeth to their anger at constantly being persecuted. And man I don't think that's gonna work out very well for you! But the nature of the KMC and its job brutally occupying Londinium will drive away any moderates on its own. The KMC is radicalizing itself, from an attempt at governing Kazdel to what is functionally a murder cult, focused on just killing the highest number of non-sarkaz possible. It's not a happy story! And not one that, I think, is going to be 'fixed' by Amiya doing some cool sword magic. Victoria is on a fast track to becoming a failed state, and that's not going to be good for anyone around. Character thoughts! Blunted by having taken months and months to finish this. -Misery, it's cool to see another RI elite and this one's kinda, shifty? Behavior, is fun. Not a pillar of gung-ho courage, but he Gets The Job Done. -Mandragora, poor little meowmew. I do wonder if she'll turn out to have survived, I do feel some sympathy for her after the chapter was her getting kicked in the face repeatedly as everything goes wrong and her one friend dies -Manfred, this is the kinda guy who goes on trial at the Hague, but he's actually trying to like, run a country, so he ends up being one of the more reasonable KMC people. Yikes! -Damazti was very fun, their curiosity in meeting the Eartha crew is neat. Look forward to seeing more of the tricky slime. Closure is a great addition to this chapter, because you have the KMC and all the problems Sarkaz are causing and then RI sends in their Sarkaz and she looks like this:

How could anyone hate that face. Rita is another favorite from this chapter because she is just Not Having A Good Time, and it seems to only be getting worse. Is she coping healthily? Not really!

I think the Glasgow gang wasn't much of a draw. They're dancing around it, but it doesn't really seem like Vina wants to go kickstart the Victorian monarchy again, nor does the game seem to think that would fix things. So they end up kind of spinning their wheels, as the lion gets poked and prodded towards a thing she doesn't want to do.

i’m trying to do more research as i’ve recently started working with apollo, is there any books or further places of research i could us to look further?

khaire anon! thank you for this ask! as always i'm no expert, and this is just my humble opinion. apollo is quite the complicated god with a long history of worship. i learn something new about him every day, honestly. if you’re looking for basics to research on him, though, here are my suggestions: -homeric hymns to apollo (hymn 3 and 21). especially hymn 3, it’s a long one, but it covers his birth and the establishment of his temple in delphi. it’s massive to his historical worship and is directly where some of his epithets come from. two that come to mind are dephinius (of the dolphins) and pythian (rotten; apollo takes this name to establish his supremacy OVER the pytho dragon). these hymns are available here or here. the first link is the evelyn white translation to hymn 3 and includes a link to hymn 21, the second is rodney merrill’s translation of hymn 3. i have no preference, as i like to read multiple translations and look for commonalities and differences, but those two i’m fond of. -check out some of his cult worship. i highly suggest you look into his worship in delphi as your first place, as it’s where his most famous oracle was located, which you can check out here for a brief synopsis to get you started. that being said, he was worshipped all throughout greece and in other areas like turkey, italy and france, so if that interests you, do some research on those topics. -dig deep into some of his epithets. there’s paean, healer. interestingly, there’s even a specific kind of song named a paean as well. these two (1 2 turn cc on for link 2 for translation) to apollon are some of my favorites. there’s phoebus, shining, his chief epithet. smintheos, lord of mice. musagetes, king of the muses. lykean, of the wolves/of lycia. alexikakos, averter of evil. all of these have so much history behind them that there were specific priests of specific epithets at specific temples devoted to that epithet during the later periods of worship that you can dive into. and these are just a handful of his epithets! pick a few that interest you and dive into a research hole and see what windows open. -check out the delphic maxims. they can be found here. -look into his oracle, the pythia. check out pythagoras, the triangle guy. no i’m not kidding he had an entire mystery cult about apollo -look into his role in the iliad. he’s a major player in that epic, which can be found here. the iliad is a bit complicated to understand, as it’s not a full account of the trojan war -- it actually takes place near the end and begins with a specific conflict between agamemnon and a priest of apollon which then spirals into a whole thing between agamemnon and achilles and like, just a whole Thing(tm). there’s so much to unpack with apollo and the iliad that i’d need a whole other post and like, a works cited to really get into it. i hope this helps you anon! may your relationship with apollon be fruitful and may the theoi guide you to happiness and peace! best wishes!

[roleplayfinder]

Hello all!

I (20+ female) am looking to make a roleplay group on discord and I am currently looking for around 10 members (18+). I want this group to be close and tight knit, and I want us all to have fun.

I want the group to be Harry Potter themed, Specifically Marauders era. However, I have taken a break from roleplay for two years as well as from the fandom so I’m a little rusty. I am hoping to find people that are into the fandom that can help me run the server!

There will be a mix of CC characters and OC characters that you guys can bring in as well. Everyone can play up to three characters. However, if you want to play a canon character as well, you will only be allowed to play ONE canon character so that everyone has the chance to play their favorite canon alongside their OC characters.

I am all about OOC chat and planning with one another. I love to share posts, Pinterest boards, and edits with those that I am plotting with and I hope that, through this, I am able to find people who feel the same.

There are few rules seeing as we are all adults. I feel that we do not need as many rules, but I want to make a few things clear:

18+ Only!

Three characters Max! One of them can be a canon character.

No controlling the characters of others.

No talks of religion or politics. I want to keep it light and fun for everyone.

✨Plot✨

“Secrets of the Founders' Society"

In the shadowy halls of Hogwarts, where dark wood paneling meets the soft glow of candlelight, secrets are whispered, and the weight of history presses on the shoulders of those who dare to tread beyond the ordinary. It’s the Marauders Era—long before the fall of Voldemort, but already the atmosphere at the school is thick with tension, mystery, and danger.

A student has gone missing. Not just any student, but someone with ties to a hidden society, a society known only in rumors—the Founders’ Society. It’s said to be a group of select individuals, handpicked by a mysterious professor, chosen for their talent, ambition, and intellect. They’re offered the promise of unlocking ancient secrets—knowledge and power connected to the very foundation of the magical world.

But not everything is as it seems.

The professor, enigmatic and charismatic, has a darker motive. Those who join are plunged into a world of hidden rituals, strange symbols, and whispers of something far more sinister than they bargained for. What starts as an initiation into an elite circle soon turns into a terrifying dance with the unknown. The Founders’ Society is not a place for those with weak hearts or wandering loyalty.

With the growing threat of an unseen cult-like influence creeping through the cracks of Hogwarts, the remaining students find themselves pulled into a dark mystery. As they unravel the threads behind the disappearance, they discover a horrifying truth: the missing student may have known too much about the society’s real purpose—and their fate could be a warning to anyone who dares to ask too many questions.

Now, they must decide. Will they continue the search for their lost peer, risking everything in pursuit of the truth, or will they fall prey to the professor’s manipulations and the dangerous allure of the Founders’ Society?

Who can you trust when even your mentors have secrets of their own?

Join us as we weave a tale of mystery, magic, and betrayal, set in the dark academia atmosphere of Hogwarts. With the Marauders on the rise, a looming darkness growing both within and outside the school, and an ancient society’s secrets at the heart of it all, the stakes have never been higher. Original characters welcome to join canon favorites in this twisting plot of intrigue, cults, and the lengths people will go to for power.

Will you uncover the truth, or will you become lost in the shadows?

Demon #1: The BEAST

The BEAST was a near-indestructible abomination demon with the ability to control mortals with forces of darkness and the strength of ten giants. He can siphon their lifeforce, command them at will, or create immense destruction. Due to his sheer magnitude in power, he was bound to an ancient fighting pit in the depths of what is now the city of Westonhood by an order of monks that worshipped the Soul Archons. The pit was created as a means to punish those who did not follow the Tenets of the Universe and make them fight in battle against other evil monsters.

Eventually, the Soul Archons were largely forgotten--but the BEAST remained trapped in the fighting pit, undefeated. Various orders, circles, cults, and militaries took power of the pit over the course of three-thousand years and used the BEAST as their entertainment champion.

At this point, the BEAST is tired of fighting. He is tired of good vs. evil. He is willing to fight--only to stop fighting ever again. Given this exhaustion in demonic character, he's now somewhat of a nice guy. He's loyal to his friends, outgoing, and makes killer cocktails.

Are there other bens that you've met? What are they like? Are they like the bens we know?

Yes. There are a lot.....

There's IZZI, he's an Event Network, which is different a Lawman. Actually let me like....exlain. Explain, I mean. Sorry, English was the last language I learned and it makes no sense to me.

Uh, you've got Lawmans, who are essentially. Human BENs. Ben Lawman, they get mistaken as being the same thing as the robot ones and all that. Then you have Event Networks, or Netties, they're. Well, the robots. They're the robot versions. They're often the most supernatural ones. I have more Netties than Lawmans, ironically, given my connection to them is soul based.

Ryder is mine. He's my first kolivera. He's the original Ben Lawman for me. He is mine.

IZZI is from Twitch's Habitat, or Earth as you'd know it. It's known as Habitat 423, or Habit Xana, if you're asking the big Queenie in the middle of Home. He has a Lawman there too, CC, he's also one of my kolivera.

IZZI is. A weird situation. He consumed the ACTUAL kolivera of mine, his friend Judas Bael. Judas wasn't going to accept katan unless I gave him IZZI back. So I did. IZZI tends to wander the woods nowadays. He disappeared a few weeks back though, just before Twitch came here.

CC is also from Habit Xana. He's in the middle of Venat, the Hunt, and is still involved with his sect of the Lunamos cult, you'd all known it as the Moon Children cult. I have yet to meet him.

There's one called Admin in Habit Trail, he's buddies with Foss, it's the same Habitat Slender is from. He doesn't like me. He's. Okay. Very studious. He tends to help out with missions that happen in Habitats I don't like. Cool dude, we don't get along. He's a koli though, so. He's still mine.

Owl. is.....Owl. He's not to be approached, and neither is Eppie. Though Owl has made contact a few times and he's been pleasant so far, but has made it very clear he is very dangerous to be around, even for me. I avoid him.

Fluid Rush is fucking annoying. He lives here in Home, he's a koli but I don't fucking like him. He tends to fuck around the woods a lot, but never comes south enough to be near the House so we just ignore him. He's already dead, so there's little reason for katan with him.

I've noticed some movement in a Habitat I haven't seen before, so I think a Venat is starting there. But I'm too busy right now to worry about it. Guess we'll find out later.

As for whether or not these BENs are similar to the little, internet geek you'd know. I'd say Admin and Fluid Rush are the most similar to what you lot are used to. But not fully still. BEN isn't what you guys think for the majority of you. There are no children ones other than Lee, who isn't a koli, he's just my first koli's son. I don't know really. I doubt they're anything like what you guys drum up in your fanfictions and smut drabbles~

Geto Suguru: Depressed, Cult, and Pre Toji

I have a preference for PTSD/Depressed Suguru. He's more of a stickler, struggling with his own demons while being functional in the JJK world. This version of Suguru is least likely to enter a romantic relationship and is extremely selective. Platonic relationships are preferred. Poor depressed Suguru craves connection but has trouble accepting any form of it. Expect him making art or spending time in nature to cope.

Charismatic Cult Leader Suguru is my second favorite. I do tons of research on psychology and would have plenty of fun using him. He is clearly racist against non sorceress, charismatic, selfish, controlling, domineering and helpful depending on his goals. Do you wants your crumbs of attention to feel like heaven? This is your guy. Cult Suguru is the most likely to put himself in a romantic situation for his own personal gain. He is the most extraverted version of himself.

Pre Toji Is a well mannered Suguru who prioritizes helping others. He plays by the rules and shares his opinion when he feels appropriate. He's a good boy and a happy boy. He deeply cares about culture and loves to read. Romantic relationships will have to be built from the ground up. Be prepared for observant nature. He's also terrible at basketball, he just doesn't know it yet.

Gojo Satoru:

More often then not my version is off bothering someone or making a joke. The more serious versions of Gojo will appear when discussed outside the rp or when appropriate. Gojo is arrogant, intelligent, powerful, and goofy.

Shoko Ieiri:

Shoko doesn't fight much in the series. She is JJK's designated healer as she is the only one who can expertly heal others with her reverse cursed technique. She is a heavy drinker and relapsed into being a heavy smoker as of recent. Despite cheating on her exam to become a doctor, she has vast knowledge on how the body is affected by the Jujutsu World.

Loid Forger:

Loid Forger, code name twilight, is a spy undercover as a family man. His goal in life is to provide a safer world/country for future generations. He's diligent, talented in hand-to-hand combat and firearms, charming, analytical, focused and a master of disguise. My version of Loid suffers from generalized anxiety that manifests through overplanning.

Tanjiro Kamado

I chose to rp him because he is the most emotionally healthy character i have seen in anime. He is incredibly empathetic, well mannered, good natured, and understanding. Tanjiro also displays loyalty, courage, and diligence. This best boy needs a trophy. His most notable traits is his sense of smell.

OC's: Each deserve their own post. If there isn't a link, I am working on them.

Americans Looking For Someone To Blame

Listening to some talking heads in the US there seems to be a collective downer across this once great nation. The diminishing American hegemony has quite a few gnashing their teeth and crying ‘poor me’. Of course, the Trump cult has this populist blowhard claiming he can arrest the slide by closing the borders and deporting people. Donald the compulsive liar is hoping to pout his way back into the White House. Americans looking for someone to blame for their less than stellar place in the world is putting their nation on a civil war footing.   #UNGA President Donald J. Trump by National Archives and Records Administration is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0

Trump’s America Is Populist Blaming

The Republican Party has become home to radical populists all pointing the finger at the usual suspects. Blacks, foreigners, liberals, socialists, and women who don’t know their place. When times are tough weak people always look for someone else to blame. Trump is raging against those that, in his opinion, poison the blood of America. White supremacist rubbish. The truth is that China has outworked America. American bosses outsourced manufacturing to China and other developing countries. These CEOs were content to see the US become the financing and Intel property rights global landlords. Well, a select few Americans would derive massive wealth from these offshore moves. However, it would leave America vulnerable when global supply chains were threatened. “A leading American progressive said Donald Trump was using “horrific … dehumanising and fascist rhetoric”, after the former president told supporters immigrants were invading the US and “poisoning the blood of our country”.” - (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/18/trump-immigrants-rally-congress-reaction-pramila-jayapal) Photo by Sharefaith on Pexels.com Great American Fictions It is interesting to observe how invested people become in this idea of national identity. It is a fiction really; it is not real this idea of being American or Australian. It is another fiction like so many of the things we all consider very real. Religion – a belief in a certain conception of a God. A supernatural entity that science has found no evidence for over millennia’s. Money – not linked to a gold standard and, therefore, just another fiction we all buy into. Our lives are so invested in these fictions and people regularly die for them. You could say that these three things are most important to Americans. Money, God, and blaming the other guy for their woes. The Politics Of Division American politics has a history of negative campaigning. Indeed, it has written the book on pointing the finger at villainy. Americans are the experts on selling stuff. Long ago they discovered that people buy things based on feelings and not on facts. Politics is all about cultural values and identity. Americans sell sentimentality. These days the GOP is selling nostalgia – remember the good old days? Before America was wrecked by all those immigrants, blacks, greenies, commies, degenerates, and pushy women. The GOP is promising to turn back the clock to make America white again. Of course, this can never be achieved, it is political tom foolery. Photo by J SWING on Pexels.com Playing The Blame Game The blame game has no happy ending for anyone. Populist governments when elected are invariably found to be riddled with corruption and cronyism. Incompetence results because these folks have no commitment or training to deliver good government for all Americans. On Trump’s last watch in the presidency nearly a million Americans died from the Coronavirus pandemic. In the richest nation on earth Trump’s administration couldn’t get the job done and protect its people. The fault lines in American society were exposed by the pandemic. Ideological BS prevented the nation acting like a nation. Communities suffered because there wasn’t an overarching community spirit. Photo by Edgar Colomba on Pexels.com Populists Fail The People In The End If you elect presidents and governments based on division and populist finger pointing that is exactly the kind of country you get. Americans looking for someone to blame is a failure to begin with. What did JFK say, something about not asking what your country can do for you but rather what you can do for it – I paraphrase. Well, one thing you can do is stop looking for easy answers to complex questions and trying to blame others for your situation. Charity begins at home. Look at yourself and take some responsibility. Only by working together in a spirit of unity will you overcome major challenges. What is demanded right now is inclusivity. Community spirit. Stop looking for a fight and work together for a better America. It may be a fiction but you could make it a good story for your children to believe in.

As someone who has watched EVO, Hermitcraft, the life/traffic series, Empires SMP and the Dream SMP (among others) I think people from those fandoms who haven't watched the DSMP assume the the lore and storylines and acting in the DSMP is the same way as done in those series.

That is not the case.

In most of these SMPs, the lore is there and it's clever and it's well thought out, but the CCs involved never really stop treating things likes it's a game. The acting is there sometimes, but they'll also be willing to be chill and just hang out with each other. Empires comes pretty close, but even that doesn't go to the same extremes as the DSMP went.

The acting on the DSMP was so serious there were multiple instances of fans harassing the families of certain CCs because the CC in question was so convincing at playing a abusive victim, they assumed the CC was actually a victim of abuse. There is an entire arc many people had to skip, because it so accurately portrayed abuse that many fans could not watch because of how accurate it was.

In the DSMP the characters might share a name with their content creator counterparts, but their personalities are very, very different. And the CCs did research to make sure they were because they were playing characters experiencing many mental health issues, or suffering many horrible things. Child soldiers, the horrors of war, kidnapping, abuse, cults, murder, depression, anxiety, trauma and all the ways mental health issues can manifest, etc. All these things are taken very seriously on the server, and all of them were present.

That isn't to say they weren't funny sometimes. But it never mad fun of the things happening because they were horrible things.

It's kinda the reason why it's hard for me to start getting more into these other fandoms. I want to, but their acting and storylines aren't anywhere near the level of the DSMP. There isn't the same level of immersion.

The DSMP is kinda like The Office - a bunch of actors are using their actual names because they didn't realize how serious they were gonna be committed to it. The DSMP members are voice actors. Also, they do actually play characters with completely different names sometimes. But if you asked someone to describe C!Tommy and the same person to describe CC!Tommyinnit, you'd get very different responses. It was also extremely noticeable when a CC! was acting as their character, and when a CC! was just chilling and not doing lore.

Also, most of the controversial DSMP figures... are the people who streamed on the server the least. CC!Dream? HE NEVER FUCKING STREAMED ON THE SERVER! CC!George? Rarely streamed or even showed up to the point where his most important plot points was him not showing up. CC!Sapnap? Also wasn't on often, though more than the other two. CC!Wilbur? Probably the most active out of all of them, and he failed to stream a lot of his storyline. CC!Schlatt? Also didn't stream on the server!

So yeah, watching the DSMP is entirely possible to do without giving a single view to any of these bad streamers.

Also, I didn't even fucking know who most of the streamers were when I started watching the DSMP. I didn't even know who "Dream" was, I started watching, though the Dream SMP was an odd name, and when I found out later there was a guy name Dream on there, I thought they must have been some unknown youtuber with barely any subscribers because I had literally never heard of him before. I actually assumed at first Dream was a girl because of the name (I've met two girls named Dream before but never a guy). It was started during the pandemic, there were no new shows to watch, and youtube was free so I could watch them very easily.

why do so many people act like its so weird that dsmp is still loved and talked about by people. its barely more than 4 years old, i understand the whole theres a lot of people involved in it are bad but thats the same for a lot of other fandoms ?? its just fascinating to me, yeah guys turns out just because you dont like it anymore doesnt mean everyone else also went oohhhh yeah ur right fuck this media i also dont wanna talk about it anymore too

oh god a project moon tier meta post, how bad was it

shockingly pretentious post going "i love how the characters don't have extreme speech patterns" then doesn't elaborate but only states facts at you with no bearing on WHY they like this, and describes the following, parenthesis is my own commentary when needed:

the character who uses -dono for everyone doesn't go full ninja (he uses -dono and gozaru because he's a geek. it's not rocket science)

the cult leader.....speaks like a cult leader (wow)

the protagonist is very polite but still has no issues cussing people out (yes... because he's kind of a detached bitch for many reasons.. i don't think this is rocket science either)

the annoying guy who does things to annoy the protagonist is annoying and speaks in a frivolous way but not too much because he's cunning and is faking it (no shit sherlock...)

now its pretty catty of me to describe the post to you like this especially considering anyone who takes one look at my blog will realize exactly what tag i was visiting and if OP stumbles across this— maybe just block me or something, but i also found it a little amusing there was a lot of highlighting of how they read the text on their own or whatever. (who cares. you are not special. i will go on as usual)

i personally read the fan tl for the main game (cc subs, so i can see the jp dialogue underneath, so im still aware of how ppl talk in the original text) because im lazy and there's too many hawd wowds fow widdle old me, read parts of the dlc (beginning and end, read the fan tl in the middle) on my own and then the subsequent game in the series, so i can weigh in on the labored upon "speech patterns" in their post— it is utterly mundane. i don't think anything special about the way most of the characters speak for the most part— the dialogue has very strong character voice present (something to lament about the existing fan translation.. i mean no disrespect bc they do fine for the bulk of it but the tone is so Neutral). and had i made that post, i would use literally any other set of characters. not exaggerating at all. at the end of the day it is just a fandom meta post and nothing serious, but this "stating objective facts without elaborating and acting smart for it" brand of meta post TRULY gets under my skin. you asked me about "projmoon fan tier" in particular so you must know exactly what i mean for it to pique your interest.

my entire point here is "WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THIS" and "WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS GOOD". none of which the post communicates. it just feels like posturing for the sake of it. if they said "i like the dialogue like that" or "i think the character voice is strong" (as i said on my own just now) it'd be FINE. but the fact that i just had objective facts spit up at me with no thoroughline to the thesis of the post. and like, i don't think i'm very smart. i guarantee i may have said something dumb in this ask or contradicted myself and i acknowledge i am being PETTY. however... it really is an issue i have with "analysis" on here. also, this series has a strong presence of projmoon fans so like.

thank you for letting me rant about this a bit btw nonnie
