Run Ragged - a short, wolfish comic

Back the comic on Kickstarter until October 11th!

A gothic 24-page comic with four bonus pages of diary comics on COVID and cartooning. Have you ever tried to balance your tough day-to-day life training as a ballet dancer with your secret night life, tearing through the ragged woods as a werewolf? No?  This short fantasy comic, obsessively illustrated, is the perfect preparation for that eventuality. 

“Marnie tells a story of the lacerations left by the choke chain of an ableist society, a story they carve from sinew and suspend in negative space. A urgent, vital and brilliant work by an urgent, vital and brilliant artist.” - Erika Price

Run Ragged is the best comic my younger sibling has ever made. And they've made a lot of comics, they've won prizes. They've been making comics since we were teenagers drawing together at the kitchen table in the stolen small hours of the morning while everyone else in the house was asleep.

Run Ragged made me cry when I read it, on my sibling's ipad, at a café table, with them sitting right opposite me. Embarrassing! But it's beautiful, in word and in thought, and in image.

Run Ragged is about dance, and about changing relationships with the only body you have when that body gets sick. When that body no longer wants to obey. It's about disability, about frustration and beauty, and about tearing off into the woods.

This comic really was a labour of love. I watched Axe develop it and agonise over it for more than a year, picking it up and putting it down and ripping it apart and sewing it back together. They drew most of it in bed, physically unable to get up. Every stitch in its hide is meticulous and I want you to read it, so much.

But let's look at some pages:

I told you, it's beautiful! Axe has a knack for poetics that I've never grasped. The comic comes with additional diary comics, too - the personal behind what is already a deeply personal work.

Like me, Axe is a full-time artist. Like me, that means they are terrible with money. Their goals for this kickstarter are so low - their first stretch goal is only £600, and I had to argue them into it. They have all kinds of little additional bonuses planned for future goals, and I desperately want to see them come to fruition. But more than that, I really, really, really want people to read this comic.

You can back Run Ragged on Kickstarter until October 11th, and snag yourself everything from an original sticker or linoprint to a full archive of Axe's digital comics or a personal portrait of your pet escaped into the wild woods.

I'm gonna say smth and I need people to read and understand what I mean.

It is perfectly fine to critique games. It doesn't matter what exactly you critique. You don't like the story? Say it. You don't like the combat? Say it. You dislike the way previous lore has been handled? Say it. You dislike the character creator? Say it. You think certain aspects of the game feel lazy or odd? Fucking say it.

Games at this point of time cost 60-70 bucks. Just the game itself. And it's often not even a physical copy, just a digital key they can revoked at any moment if they feel like it. If you want an advantage or a pretty limited skin or what have ya its gonna be 80-150 bucks. Yes that's how outrageous the prices are becoming. Let alone any future DLCs.

And again, it's 60 fucking bucks for just the base game. That's a lot of money for games. Not too long ago you'd be chased with pitchforks and torches had you said your game was that expensive. Some phones are as expensive as two AAA games, games that usually shine with a shit ton of flaws, bugs, missing content, messed up lore and generally feel like the publisher just wanted to make a quick dime. And considering how little time they take to develop, the later often holds true.

But yk what else? If you don't express your disgruntlement or your anger with these practices it's gonna keep going. Shit is only gonna get more expensive while also providing a worse playing experience. Y'all know what the big guys said about BG3. That we, the players, shouldn't expect that to be the new standard.

But hey, listen, we fucking should. It's our money and time. Our enjoyment of long established series or the first title of many. We should expect it to be fucking good and finished especially for such a great prize. We should expect to find entertainment in the things we buy exclusively for entertainment.

So please for the love of god stop attacking people for voicing their very valid and personal opinions. In fact do the opposite and join them and encourage others to do the fucking same. I'm so god damn tired of publishers doing everything only for the sake of sales rather than the art behind it. And yes of course 'the poor employees' and whatever excuses there are for these attacks. Guess fucking what buddy? You encouraging the Publishers behaviour by shutting down any and all criticism and buying whatever the fuck they slapped a name on is just telling them they get away with treating their people like less than shit.

Criticism is healthy. Criticism is required for a system to work and develop in positive ways rather than whatever tf is happening now. Voicing your opinion and critiquing aspects you find poorly handled is not hating a game. It's being disappointed that something you love and are absolutely passionate about was not treated well because some rich guy wanted yet another bonus check.

If a game is shit, call it out. If a system was handled poorly, call it out. If publisher try to limit the content and systems you're exposed to in the first 2 hours because you can still return the game in that period of time, call it the fuck out.

far, yet together - hwang hyunjin

𖦹 genre : fluff + angst

𖦹 warnings : slight swearing

𖦹 a/n : repost of hyunjin's birthday fic from last year

𖦹 summary : you and hyunjin are apart yet again on his birthday. but he tries to make it up to you the best that he can, until he comes back

𖦹 word count : 1054

to be added to my taglist, fill out this form!

leave a reblog if you enjoyed my work <3 please do not spam like, you will be blocked.

hyunjin was scheduled to resume tour today so you wouldn’t be able to see him in person for almost a week until he was able to come home. it pissed you off to say the least. why couldn’t they schedule the tour dates so they consider the members birthdays? the question the plagued your mind every time your boyfriend or his band mates had long schedules on their special days.

if it was aggravating to you, then you knew it had to be for them as well. they often have to plan things ahead or push plans back a few days or weeks.

when hyunjin sent you a voicemail the night he was leaving, reminding you how long he’d be away, you had already fallen asleep.

hyunniebun ❣️: hi, love. just want to say that i love you and hope you sleep well. my flight is in half an hour and i know you won’t see this until the morning since you’re already asleep. i’ll talk to you as soon as i can, ok?

as soon as you woke up the next morning, you grabbed your phone to check for any messages and found the voicemail hyunjin had left. hearing the sadness in his voice as he spoke made your heart hurt. knowing he’s just as pained being away from you. you wish the two of you could run away together. to get away from all the hurt. never have to be apart for more than a few hours at most. but what you didn’t know was, hyunjin felt that he’d never be enough for you never being enough because he’s not always there for you physically. it hurt him to even think about letting you go, but he knew it wouldn’t be as easy as it seemed to quit his job, pack up and leave. he loved both of you and he didn’t know how to weigh in both at the same time. it was draining him mentally day by day.

he knew he had to talk to you about how he was feeling but he didn’t want to worry you. make you feel like he was leaving since that wasn’t what he truly wanted to do. he just needed to get the underlying feelings off of his chest because he felt like he would explode otherwise.

the sun had rose and fallen since you last spoke to him. and with not much to pass the day, you just sat at home after work awaiting his call. your cat, honey accompanying you as you tapped your fingers on the edge of your desk. you had your laptop opened to facetime so you’d be ready as soon as his contact popped up, with nothing else on your mind.

when your laptop flashed the call screen, you sat straight up in your chair and quickly clicked answer.

“hi, baby!,” hyunjin smiled as soon as he saw your face, “i miss you so much already, can’t wait to come home and give you so many hugs.” he frowned a little

“hyune, i miss you too. did you have fun at the first show?”

“mhm, stay had so much energy tonight. it gave me and the boys more energy as well.” he laughed

“that’s good. don’t want you boys falling asleep on stage. i know the jet lag must’ve been bad as soon as you landed, huh.”

“yeah, but we ended up taking naps, and soon after we got to explore the city a little.”

“ooh how fun, did you get to go to any gift shops and eat some good food?” you ask, curiously

“yeah! it was really fun, love. we even wet to an arcade and won some prizes. i’ll be collecting little trinkets and plushies to bring back to you.” his eyes turning to crescents as he smiled

“that’s great. i’m glad everyone is having fun and eating well. make sure to send me lots of pictures.”

“i will. i brought my digital camera and we also picked up some disposable ones. so there’ll be plenty to show you,” he trailed off a little, “besides all of that, how are you holding up?” he asked worridly

hyunjin could see the lack of sleep on your face. dark circles occupying your eyes. he knew it was hard for you to get good rest when he was away for so long.

“i’m doing okay, hyune. i’ll be fine, i promise.” you give him a tired smile

“alright, love. you know you can always talk to me if something is troubling you, right?”

“i know, babe. i promise i will.”

“okay. but there is something i’d like to talk to you about…” he trailed off again, but this time you noticed.

“what is it? did something happen?”

“no, no. nothing in particular happened, it’s just i hate being away from you. and I hate it, but i always feel like i don’t deserve to be with you. i-i’m not there with or for you enough of the time and i know it bothers you too. hell, you can’t even get proper rest when i’m not around and i hate making you feel like that. i’m so sorry i’m not there whe you need me. i wish-” he started to tear up. you could hear the shakiness in his voice.

“hyunjin. it’s okay.” you cut him off

“no it’s not. you know it’s not. i don’t deserve you. you don’t deserve to be treated this way.”

“hyune, baby. i love you despite all of that. don’t say you don’t deserve me, because you do. because i love you and only you and i don’t want to be with anyone else, okay?” your eyes now threatening tears to fall, but you pushed them back. wanting to stay strong for him.

he nods and sniffles before replying, “i know, i’m sorry. i just had a lot on my mind and needed to let it out. i don’t want us to break up either, i just hate having to be separated all of the time. it’s draining both of us so much. i love you too, always.”

“let’s figure this out then, yeah? we’ll get it sorted.”

“yeah. and i promise to plan a real date for us when i get home. something special, just the two of us.”

“it’s a deal.”

Fallen London Festive Fanart Competition

The festive season is always a bustling time in Fallen London. ‘Snow’ will be falling. Mr Sacks will be hitting the pavements, looking for gifts for its sack. Truly a time of goodwill to all, &c.

In celebration of the season, we’re hosting a fanart competition! The theme is:

Just A Typical Neathy Christmas

Both digital and physical media are accepted (providing you can share the latter digitally), and we’re accepting photography as a form in its own right. Please note that AI generated entries are not being accepted.

The prize will be a Rubbery Plongeur, one of the rarest companions in Fallen London, who will come and wash all of the dishes left over from your revels. There are fewer than a dozen of these fellas in circulation, so a truly special prize indeed. There will be a minimum of seven winners.

Those of you who think you can’t draw: don’t be disheartened. As ever with our fanart competitions, it’s interpretation of the theme that we’re judging on. You’ll find that charm, character and a have-a-go spirit will get you a long way. (And when all else fails, make us laugh.)

You have until the 1st of January to enter in any of the following ways:

In the #fallen london festive fanart competition tag

In the competition channel on Discord

In the competition thread on the forums

In the thread on the subreddit

Here are the full terms and conditions. We look forward to seeing your entries!

hi, im curious abt the wip Wednesday community and have some questions because i still don't know what wip Wednesday is

what are file names?

what if the only progress ive made wasn't on a digital file (ex: a physical notebook)

if i didnt have to spoons to work on something (neurodivergent & PCOS) do i post just saying i didnt have the spoons/energy? (this also goes for life events that take up my time)

these are the questions i have (there is a chance your answer will bring more questions, i like making sure i entirely understand things)

answer when you can😅

File names are literally just the name of your word document. Like when you save a document on a computer, the name you name the save file is the file name.

If you don't have a digital file you can make up a shorthand name for your work, or use the title if you please. The file name rule is there to make it interesting and kind of make it a blind guess for requests so people don't all pick the same thing (since presumably if you've listed multiple things then you want to work on all of them, so this adds a random element for many) and also because it's amusing to me to see what other people are naming their files since sometimes people name them interesting things. It's not super deep and not super strict.

If you don't have the spoons to work on stuff, then you just don't make a post asking for people to send asks/comments. You only make a post to participate when you're planning on participating. It's not a contest, there's no prize, there's no obligation. It's a tool to help you write when you want a little outside accountability.

[jetkoweek2024]

Hey Yall! Just wanted to do a bit of an interest check for (future) jetko weeks (no promises for this year's, but I'll see what I can do)

If I were to make a jetko themed prize would anyone like to participate in a raffle?

I wanted to do a raffle bc it's ultimately more fair that way, I thought of people picking their favorite submissions, but there's so many different art mediums and I'd feel obligated to make a prize for each one which is too hard on me, and also it's easier to consume a drawing or edit than a fanfic

There are some terms and conditions before hand though (PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU VOTE):

-I've NEVER hosted a raffle so it may be a little wonky ...

-the prize will be some sort of physical piece by me (most likely some sort of keychain/cellphone charm)

-you'd have to be comfortable with sharing your address/p.o. box to me

-im not 100% on if I'm able to ship worldwide considering I'd be the one compensating for shipping prices

-winners would be announced AFTER jetko week because only participants who have created a piece for jetko week are allowed to enter but I'd have to find out a way to ask for proof of participation and i may only be able to achieve that on ONE platform (most likely Twitter but I'll see what I can do, if you have suggestions please let me know)

I might have more questions in forms of polls here as well as Twitter PLEASE CHECK FOR UPDATES AND VOTE + SHARE (this post and following post may be edited several times bc idk what I'm doing :D)

PLEASE CHECK THE REBLOGS, I HAVE ANOTHER POLL THERE FOR CHOOSING A DIGITAL PRIZE INSTEAD OF A PHYSICAL ONE

[oficmag]

Announcement: 2023 OFIC Press Prize

Submissions for the 2023 OFIC Press Prize are OPEN until 11:59pm EST on June 1, 2023. 

The OFIC Press Prize will be awarded to up to 2 novels and up to 3-4 novellas, which will be published in 2024. The prize for a novel is $1000 and a novella $250. Novels will be published as standalone books and novellas will be compiled into an anthology.

We're looking for manuscripts that don't really fit in a traditional publishing category, maybe because they're too romance-y for general or literary fiction, and not romance-y enough for romance. Or maybe there's just a truly tasteless amount of smut. What we value most is an earnest portrayal of character, interesting relationship dynamics, and well-crafted prose that prioritizes clarity and voice.

We can guarantee the winners their prize money, thorough editorial feedback, professional cover design, and digital publication. We plan to run a Kickstarter to fund a physical print and distribution. Should our Kickstarter succeed, you'll also receive 10 copies of your book/anthology. We'll do a print of 100 copies to sell in our online store in addition to the number of Kickstarter contributors.

Rules & Restrictions:

Novellas can be 12,000 to 50,000 words; novels are over 50,000. While we have no upper limit, know that anything over 150k is going to be a really hard sell. We're not opposed, though. If it slaps, it slaps.

Must be written in English.

Author must be 18 or older to submit.

Your work cannot be published or posted anywhere else. If you’ve posted a work on any social platform, even if you take it down, for legal reasons, we cannot accept it. This means you can’t delete a work from AO3 and file off the serial numbers to send to us.

Your work must stand on its own as an original piece, although we of course welcome common fanfiction tropes (or the subversion thereof), and works that feel fanfiction-y but contain original characters and worlds. Again, legal reasons.

We can't publish song lyrics (either within the manuscript or in the title) unless they're public domain.

Manuscript Formatting:

Please provide the following as front matter of your manuscript:

A title page with your contact info. Your AO3 handle/social media can go here if you're comfortable sharing that, as well as if you'd like to publish under a pseud or pen name.

A cover letter with a brief fan history. You can share however much or little you'd like to share, but we're mostly looking for your relationship to fandom and fanfiction: how long you've been in fandom, what fandoms you've been in, community events you've participated in, things like that. If you don't know what "in fandom" means, this is not the press for you.

A synopsis of the story. This doesn't have to be fancy or professional-sounding. In fact the closer it sounds to a tumblr shitpost, the better. Pretend your best friend has just asked, "So what's your book about?" The synopsis would be the long answer/tea spill that follows. It should include all major plot beats (even if that involves major spoilers). No page limit, but it shouldn't be super long, up to 5ish pages, preferably 1-2.

You can format it however you like as long as the font is readable, preferably 12pt Times New Roman or Garamond. Please provide page numbers in the footer of the document. Double-spaced preferred with one inch indentation at the start of paragraphs.

If you have questions or would like clarification on any of the above, email oficmagazine@gmail.com or send us an ask. We’re excited to read your work!

Rediscovering Joy with Vintage Toys: Little Falls Collectible Dealers

In a world dominated by digital entertainment, there lies an enduring charm in vintage toys that continues to captivate enthusiasts of all ages. Little Falls Collectible Dealers has established itself as a premier destination for those seeking to relive their childhood memories or discover the rich history of playthings from bygone eras. This article delves into the allure of vintage toys, exploring why they remain so cherished and how Little Falls Collectible Dealers has become a beloved hub for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The Timeless Appeal of Vintage Toys Vintage toys are more than just playthings; they are time capsules that offer a glimpse into the past. Each toy carries with it a story, a piece of history that reflects the cultural, technological, and social contexts of the time in which it was created. From tin wind-up robots of the 1950s to the intricate die-cast cars of the 1970s, vintage toys encapsulate the spirit of their respective eras.

One of the primary reasons vintage toys hold such timeless appeal is their craftsmanship. Unlike many modern toys, which are often mass-produced and made from plastic, vintage toys were typically crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Materials like wood, metal, and early forms of plastic were skillfully manipulated to create durable and aesthetically pleasing items. This craftsmanship not only ensured longevity but also imbued each toy with a sense of uniqueness.

Nostalgia and Sentimentality Nostalgia plays a significant role in the enduring popularity of vintage toys. For many, these toys represent a tangible connection to their childhood, evoking memories of simpler times filled with imagination and wonder. The tactile sensation of handling a vintage toy, the familiar sounds it makes, and even its distinctive smell can transport individuals back to cherished moments from their youth.

Furthermore, vintage toys often hold sentimental value as family heirlooms. Passed down from generation to generation, these toys become symbols of familial bonds and traditions. They carry the stories of parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents, fostering a sense of continuity and shared history.

The Role of Little Falls Collectible Dealers Located in the picturesque town of Little Falls, Little Falls Collectible Dealers has become a beacon for vintage toy enthusiasts. Founded by a group of passionate collectors, the store is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich legacy of vintage toys. Its extensive inventory includes a wide range of toys from different eras, meticulously curated to cater to the diverse tastes of collectors.

One of the standout features of Little Falls Collectible Dealers is its commitment to authenticity. The store's founders have a deep understanding of the importance of provenance and condition when it comes to vintage toys. Each item in their collection undergoes rigorous inspection and verification processes to ensure its authenticity and quality. This dedication to authenticity has earned Little Falls Collectible Dealers a reputation for reliability and trustworthiness among collectors.

A Community Hub for Collectors Beyond its impressive inventory, Little Falls Collectible Dealers has fostered a vibrant community of collectors. The store regularly hosts events, workshops, and exhibitions that bring together enthusiasts from all walks of life. These gatherings provide a platform for collectors to share their knowledge, exchange stories, and build lasting friendships.

The sense of community extends beyond the physical store. Little Falls Collectible Dealers has a robust online presence, with an active website and social media channels that keep collectors informed about new arrivals, special events, and industry news. The store's online forums and discussion groups offer a space for collectors to connect, seek advice, and showcase their prized collections.

The Business of Collecting While the emotional and historical aspects of vintage toys are undeniable, the business of collecting is also a significant factor. Vintage toys have become highly sought-after commodities, with certain items commanding substantial prices in the market. Little Falls Collectible Dealers has adeptly navigated this market, offering fair prices to both buyers and sellers.

The store's knowledgeable staff provides appraisal services, helping collectors determine the value of their items. This expertise is invaluable for those looking to sell their collections or for new collectors hoping to make informed purchases. Little Falls Collectible Dealers also acts as an intermediary for collectors seeking specific items, leveraging their extensive network to locate rare and elusive toys.

Educational Endeavors In addition to its commercial activities, Little Falls Collectible Dealers is committed to education. The store regularly collaborates with local schools, museums, and historical societies to promote the educational value of vintage toys. Through interactive exhibits and presentations, they highlight the cultural and technological significance of these toys, inspiring a new generation of collectors and historians.

Their educational efforts extend to their in-store experience as well. Visitors to Little Falls Collectible Dealers are often treated to informative displays and guided tours that provide insights into the history and evolution of various toy genres. This educational approach not only enhances the appreciation of vintage toys but also fosters a deeper understanding of their impact on society.

Preserving the Past for the Future As the world continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the preservation of vintage toys takes on even greater importance. Little Falls Collectible Dealers is at the forefront of this effort, dedicated to ensuring that these cherished artifacts are not lost to time. Their meticulous restoration and conservation practices help maintain the integrity of vintage toys, allowing future generations to experience the joy and wonder they bring.

In conclusion, Little Falls Collectible Dealers stands as a testament to the enduring allure of vintage toys. Through their commitment to authenticity, community building, and education, they have created a haven for collectors and enthusiasts. By preserving and celebrating the rich history of vintage toys, Little Falls Collectible Dealers ensures that the magic of these timeless treasures continues to captivate and inspire for years to come.

🏳️‍🌈PRIDE 2023 CHALLENGE!🏳️‍⚧️

Hello friends! As requested, we have put together a stunning Pride challenge for you this year! This challenge will run the entire pride season, and the goal will be to work together as a community to rack up enough points to earn amazing prizes for the blog. 

Current point total: 13,340

We'll post soon with more detail regarding the prizes and point levels, but here’s an idea:

Special roles in our Discord server for participants

Digital art, such as lockscreens and avatars

Sticker sets as both digital art and physical stickers for those who want to order them

Extra benefits for top point earners, such as voting on image themes 

A STUNNING new pride-themed banner for the blog designed by the extraordinary @imstillafuckinglibra

How do we earn points? Well, by submitting fic *or art* during this challenge period! ALL submissions will count, and as you can see after the jump, there are a ton of ways to earn bonus points, including reader interaction with those posts. 

Also—before you freak out! You don’t have to do any math yourselves, you precious little angels! I will be taking on that burden myself!

I’ll post the points earned at the bottom of each fic or art post, and after each queue finishes I’ll update the totals. (If you *would* like to try calculating your own points, here’s a little spreadsheet you can use.) 

There are a few fics ready to queue up, so I’ll post them tomorrow and you can see how the points add up even when the writers don’t have the challenge in mind. 

NOW! ONTO THE POINTS!!

Glossary:

“Art” is for any creation that’s not fic. So drawings, digital art, photo collages, etc. 

“New Creator” means anyone who hasn’t posted on AQ before. 

2nd, 3rd, and 4th posts refer to during this challenge. 

“Next Part of a WIP” would be a new part of something that’s already partially posted on AQ 

“Uncommon Ship” would be a ship with less than 50 posts here on AQ

“Rare Pair” would be a ship with less than 10 posts 

“Brand New Ship” would be for the first post of any given ship

*(If you want to check the numbers for any ship, you can use this database: https://artificialqueens.tumblr.com/all-ships)*

“Includes Art” is for fic that has art or illustrations in it. 

“Returning Writer” is for any writer who is posting after an absence of 3 months or more. 

“Sexy” art doesn’t necessarily mean NSFW. Just anything with sexy vibes, whatever that means to you. 

“Fic-inspired” is art that’s inspired by a fic, whether it’s your own or someone else’s, and whether that fic is posted on AQ or elsewhere. 

FAQ:

Q: What is “pride season”? Do you mean June? The summer? A: Yup. (It’s open-ended on purpose to give ourselves space to achieve all goals.)

Q: Am I allowed to cross-post my work here that’s already on AO3? A: Yes! You are encouraged to do so; it’s a great way to rack up points and advertise your work!

Q: What if people ‘cheat’ by sending in prompts and then filling them themselves?! Or sending in anon feedback about their own work?!?!?! A: Obviously this will be taken very seriously. We will first send a team of forensic investigators to their house, and then submit all evidence to the FBI. (In case it’s not clear, I’m kidding.)

Get going, everyone! If you would like to participate in our Discord server for any reason: brainstorming, sprints, giving feedback, finding betas, volunteering to beta, etc: please let me know! @veronicasanders

Thank you so much to @petitmonde for their help and inspiration, and to @imstillafuckinglibra for his beautiful graphic design work. 

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[fallowyrm]

For 150+ followers (thank you all!) would folks perhaps be interested in a raffle of sorts? I'd love to raffle a physical piece of some kind, and maybe digital icons as secondary prizes :0 the physical piece would likely be a subtly nonhuman necklace of some kind, though there are probably some other items I could make with my sewing machine or something, unfortunately nothing too big so shipping won't kill me

if anyone has any thoughts, please let me know!!

Entrapta with her PDW

This took a long time to make, digital works often do. Still I hope you will all enjoy this piece and the lore I have for it. Hard to believe its been two years since I drew Entrapta for the first time.   This is her wearing her scolar-VII armor in my original story: ROBOTWARs. 

 <UEU-5013 Entrapta>  Entrapta was still a scatterbrain even after the AI transfer, showing high euphoria and optimism as she started working more as a scientist, often times designing and making new machinery in multiple fields of engineering, so much so that she was nominated in the 2038 Nobel prize for physics.  Once WW3 became inevitable, Entrapta would be a commanding officer in the 13th Pioneer Regiment attached to Army-Group "Rachel"   Despite agreeing to be a member of combat, Entrapta was not keen with taking lives like the other soldiers.   This reflexed with her defensive weapon: the PP-92 which she kept in her engineering kit, missions for the 13th Pioneer Regiment were also rear guard missions, fixing broken down/damaged vehicles and infrastructure in the Australian battlefield.   When the Surprise attack happened, her pioneers were stationed at the town of Texas while she and two others under her direct command UEU-1498 Skids and UEU-1499 Mudflap were in the middle of making a power station in the town of Surat.   The three were stuck nearly 300 km behind enemy lines, with their 6 wheel MRAP Buffalo A3 which Entrapta converted into her mobile command and control center, they were able to listen to the emergency broadcast, learning that the RDFM forces were isolated and fighting in pockets of resistance and forts.   with enough water to fuel the journey, the three headed for the town of Roma where five FLUFUs and two UEUs were fighting against units from the Indian, Pakistan and Afghanistan army. (3rd engagement of Rome) 

 three out of the five FLUFUs were heavily wounded that they would be out of action as they drove to three more pockets of resistance until finally, after twelve days, they arrived at fort Texas.   During this time Entrapta would make claw arms inspired by the claw on the MRAP Buffalo A3, mostly used for moving debris but when the situation called for it she would use them to dispatch enemy combatant. 

 I hope you enjoy and like always please share your thoughts in the comments down below. ^w^

Noiseberg #103 is coming!

The Noiseberg nouveau has arrived! Treat yourself to a sonic degustation and taste the many flavours this new millésime has to offer. We will try to keep things monthly from now on, and we start this new series with a really lovely bunch.===Nour Sokhon — fine recordings https://www.noursokhon.com/ - Nour’s performances blend sounds of all kinds into detailed audio pictures, where field recordings flirt with acoustic folly and digital musings. Arranged and processed with care, they compose landscapes for your ears, and digging through the layers will only take you to more layers.=Laure Boer — round sounds https://laureboer.com/ - When she’s not creating complex compositions, Laure likes to take her machines for a little adventure. Her improvisations are mesmerising stories, full of life and drama and suspense. They’re sonic thrillers that make you hear another world, If you close your eyes, you might even see it.=Daniel Craig — blended reels https://www.danielcraig.info/ - Performing nothing less than reel-to-reel wizardry, Daniel never fails to captivate the audience. Quite literally: be prepared to become hostage to the sounds. They move, they stop, they go back and forth and shapeshift without a warning. Whatever you’re expecting, expect something else. =Elo Masing & Vincent Laju — spicy strings & winds https://soundcloud.com/elo-masing https://www.vincentlaju.com/ - Both Elo and Vincent explore sound like one visits a familiar place that keeps on changing: with steady feet, an ear out for the new, and a keenness to improvise a new path. Their duel for violin and shakuhachi is certain to change the physics of the room — maybe make the walls dance a little.=Saiko Ryusui — fizzy pops saikoryusui.bandcamp.com - Saiko’s “pop-pop made for kids” is playful, rejuvenating, enchanting, weirdly complex and simply weird. Her short songs are as many tiny journeys into a comfortable unknown you’d just want to stay in, cosily tucked into a leaf. The sounds they’re made of are like old friends you really just met for the first time.===As tradition requires, doors will open at 5pm and experimentalities begin at 5.30. Financial donations are welcome but never mandatory—no one ever was or will be turned away for lack of funds. All goes to the artists after the collection agency that shall remain unnamed has taken the lion’s share. It’s a cruel world, solidarity is the key.On that note, remember the raffle we used to have back when Syrian refugees needed support? With all the things going on, now seems like a good time to bring it back. Prizes are being organised, there will be some pretty special things.// SCHEDULE The schedule is still in preparation. Please check back later.
