#Greg universe salt

[bamsara]

question regarding solar lunacy, more near future situations without spoiling too much.

regarding specific scenes, very heavily leaning on the cut scenes shown in the game. how would sun/moon be brought into these scenes with y/n?

sticking out to me, where moon has knocked freddy out cold, and dragging him into parts and service for interrogation.

will we be experiencing moons after math from some kind of "black out" after dragging freddy into the "protective cylinder" and y/n conducting the repair instead of greg?

or will we simply not be cool enough to share cannon events with freddy and greg?

additionally, moon is hunting greg through the game after very hour. will this be incorporated as well? (if able to answer without spoilers) how?

Oooh, some of this would require spoilers and/or some info that would need to be taken with light grain of salt as my current drafts aren't set in stone, and I'd be revising and changing things before the chapters release.

So I can't talk about the scene with Moon dragging Freddy away, or give you in-deph detail about the lights-off routine at the end of every hour and how that relates from game to fic (considering some things have changed in the fic compared to the game, like how Y/N inadvertently prevented Vanessa from being hired as a security guard, but that doesn't mean she's not in the pizzaplex still. Wink wink.) Somethings will be similar but not the same.

Most canon events will need to happen to some extent. I cannot tell you which ones or how true they will stay to the source material, but there will be destruction. As for the hunting procedure the animatronics have, this will still in place, but altered for the fic universe. I cannot talk about how this will work out without giving direct spoilers. But yes, Gregory (and the Reader) will be hunted by some animatronics.

For now, I put a lot of background details into SL that come back later, including: - The Daycare Attendant, (and Monty to an extent) have been working on their resistance to the virus for over a year now in fic timeline. The other animatronics, and staffbots, have not had this, even if their virus manifestations are able to be more hidden from the public (and the reader/narration.) - The reader (Y/N) is an employee and has shown to have the knowledge and clearance to work the breaker/manual power to turn On/Off the scheduled pizza plex's lights in the past before (see: chapter 6) as long as they can get to the controls to do so. - Thanks to Eclipse in chapter 13, there is currently a crack in the protective cylinder in Parts n Service.

There's others as well. There's foreshadowing of something in every chapter, even the early ones. I hope you're okay with me not spoiling stuff until then!

was your recent shifting session good? happy late halloween btw!

No and Hi and Happy Late Halloween but recent events within the Family Guy Community have been so strenuous for me and so Ive been shifting to escape my stress of this universe and the new episode schedule and Hiatus until December and the Plan To Kill Family Guy. When i was Shifting Peter was my Catalyst I know i should expect this at this point but Being with Peter is better than Being in Universe A Because though my consciousness transfers I transfer into Lois and my urges and Thoughts and emotions don't transfer over Except my Devils Heart is the Same But I digress Peter was pissing me off so bad I got out of bed steaming angry And suddenly I was back in Universe A. I was so Mad I know i can shift for as long as I want to I can shift as long as i want to I will shift as long as I want to I will be able to shift forever I can shift over a week I can shift for unlimited time I can shift to spooner street whenever I want And I can stop shifting whenever I want This is an affirmation I repeat to myself Even typing it affirms my shifting ability Nonetheless I returned to Universe B Back in bed with Peter some time had Passed he was asleep and I was still awake But I went to bed next to him facing away and I had a hazy vision / Dream of Myself in Universe A Which i've never experienced before. In my dream I saw Peter And I was so scared that I instantly woke up and saw him beside me So i got up and turned off the TV and i used the bathroom And tried to get back in bed So i woke up the next morning before Peter And I just stood there and stared at him and He went to work And I took the kids to school and Stewie to daycare and I sent Brian on an erand and I just sat on the couch for hours staring at the television without turning it on, staring at my reflection reflected back at me on the black television screen. My thoughts of Universe A Had never breached my mind in Universe B It's a seperate reality though my Consciousness overlaps Lois' becoming one. I locked eyes with myself in the reflection and I felt tears start to flow and suddenly I was back in Universe A Again even though I didn't have a Catalyst and I couldnt shift back. It was like i was for a split second trapped between the path linking the universi. I put on an episode compilation on YouTube along with a Shifting FQ that I sped up To increase the wavelength's effect on me and I tried to shift for another hour our maybe two hours and I could just hear Daddies voice Overlapping itself in my head I could hear Carter and Greg Both scream at me at the same time, Calling me worthless, stupid, A nuesance, Saying it's wrong to love Family Guy, Saying its wrong to love Peter, Telling me "I'm making the wrong decision" their voices overlap And I can see the reflection of childself in Twin Universi in both of their eyes in my minds Eye And suddenly I snap out of it And I turned off YouTube because I could hear Rent a cent er Customers so loud I turned off my lights and Decided to take an epsom both I Only have one bag It can be hard to get But i got it From last week So i put it in the bath tub This time Adding enough that it Stopped Disolving and i could feel the salt rub against the skin of my back and spine pressing into the porcelain, I laid back and turned off the water after some time and relaxed putting another FQ on my phone and Shifted again. I shifted for probably another 7 hours Before coming back to this universe due to my catalyst IE PETER. He was annoying me so bad, He had just seen the trending Gasoline and Bees trend and He wanted to try it at Joe's house and i was screaming at him No and he Tried it and got stung by bees I was so mad when He told me Why didn't you try to talk me out of this and asked me to tend to his stings

Thoughts from Gather Conference

The first speaker at the Gather Conference was Dr. Greg Peterson, president of Salt Lake Community College. He described the model of a community college, which has a 100% acceptance rate, low tuition costs, and recognizes that not all students will get a degree but may be there just for a few classes or taking one class at a time as that's all their life can handle. A university, especially an elite one, has a low acceptance rate and a prescribed ways for how students should progress through school and earn a degree. It is designed for elite students who are likely to succeed in this model.

Gathering Zion should be more like a community college. It feels like Jesus runs a community college while our church runs an elite university as it caters to those who are likely to complete the covenant path without much to offer those whose life doesn't fit its model. As a queer person, I absolutely know what it feels like to not feel like I'm wanted or welcome at church because I'm don't fit the model and not likely (according to the leaders) to reach the highest heaven.

Jenn Blosil, who was a contestant on American Idol, is quite humorous and she performed a beautiful arrangement of the song "All Are Alike unto God." I hope her version gets released, otherwise I'm gonna have to rip an mp3 when the video is released.

In her presentation, Liv Mendoza Haynes commented "You can't parent a child who is gone" as part of talking about how parents need to be loving and affirming of their LGBTQ children because the consequences of rejecting this part of them has serious consequences. She also said when Jesus was suffering in the Garden, He didn't suffer for people simply because they're LGBT because that's not something to repent of, it isn't wrong.

I believe it was David Butler who said that being an LGBTQ Latter-day Saint is making communion out of contradiction. Many people think the two are incompatible yet we exist.

When we feel safe with others, we let down our guard and enter healing.

These next few quotes are something an individual (I can't remember her name) said to me.

"What do we know of God? One who creates and mentors. When we engage in acts of creativity and creation, when we engage in encouraging and including and loving others, that's when we're likely to feel the Divine."

"When we hide in the closet, when we hide who we are, we are hiding our light. Once there's a crack and we let someone know our secret that we're queer, the bright light comes flooding out of that crack. In a way, it is a birth. As we learn not to hid ourselves, we learn to see and be ourselves, to introduce ourselves to the world."

Someone asked, "Who is the protagonist of the Restoration? Is it Joseph Smith? Moroni? Neither, WE are!"

Dr. Lisa Diamond from the University of Utah shared some information from her research. Being a minority can feel like being threatened, we spend our time being on guard and feeling stressed. This causes our bodies to produce inflammation because that's useful if we might be wounded. But if there's not a physical wound, inflammation causes damage. As a result, minorities often suffer chronic health problems at high rates, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and many other problems.

A panelist said that there's not a faith stronger than people who come despite knowing they aren't wanted. If there is a parable to exemplify this type of faith exhibited by queer people, it is the woman touching the fringe of Jesus' clothes.

I was listening to Big Red Car by The Wiggles right off the heels of Complete Mess by 5 Seconds of Summer (stay with me) and I was hit with this... Sensation that it took me all night multiple weeks to articulate. 'Cause like. Calling Steven Universe and The Owl House children's shows Is True, they're made for 5th-thru-8th graders. Those guys are *babies*. But people tend to only bring up the fact that these shows are made For Children in the fandoms they've garnered when saying 'How did they put this in a children's show?' or 'It's so cool that they got to put this in a show for children.'

The Wiggles do not have cross-demographic appeal like shows that go out of their way to add stuff that has been actively cordoned off as 'Adult' in ways that get past the social bubble people put around Kid Stuff. But I, An Adult With Job^TM, go out of my way to listen to The Wiggles' music and appreciate what's going on in there on a level I wasn't when I was a kid 'cause like. These are real musicians and performers. These people are good at their jobs, and they're doing real tangible good things by giving kids fun songs and dances to participate in. I've seen that 'If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution' post at least ten times in my years on Tumblr; dancing and music are SO human and SO valuable and important, making it as accessible as possible for developing minds is -in my opinion- nothing short of a divine mandate. The child-level fandom of 'Greg is my favorite because he's purple and I like purple' is valuable because it lets kids articulate things about themselves and their tastes and makes them feel in community with other kids who like the band. Seeing it all as an adult in retrospect is Really Fun And Cool actually. I love the doo-wop stuff they've got going on, I love how infectious their energy is, I love the running gags, I love how clear the care and attention is in these things The Wiggles have made.

And then I started thinking of 5SOS and how much their music has evolved as they got older and made more music and something kinda turned over inside of me and I saw underneath: the idea that I had the same level of esteem for both these bands and on the chance that I get children and grandchildren or nieces or nephews or whatever, I had the same desire to introduce them to the music. I want to be excited with those hypothetical 5-year-olds in my life over Captain Feathersword and Dorothy the Dinosaur and pointing your fingers and doing the twist, and I wanna share with those same kids when they turn 14 'Hey. You know who I was Really Into at your age?' and watch them squint skeptically 'cause I'm supposed to be an Old Person who's out of touch then blow their minds with 'Long Way Home' and 'Gotta Get Out' and concert footage of the boys absolutely killing it on tour doing the thing they've always wanted to do since they started their band. I'll tell them 'Yeah, they were high schoolers when they made that' and I'll know I've handed them something of value because they'll be seeing other kids doing something rad as hell and being friends and Making Art.

I think, after letting this marinate in my drafts for a little bit, what I'm getting at is that all art is a formative and participatory experience, and depth is not preclusive to value. Salt flats are a mile wide and an inch deep and people make beautiful photos with them all the time.

What are your thoughts on the run that completely rewrote Tony’s origin so that he wasn’t Howard and Maria’s biological son? Is that still the current origin story they’re going with?

Thanks for asking! This is still Tony's current origin story and I hate it. I think it was poorly thought-out and that every subsequent thing Marvel has done to attempt to address it has somehow made it worse. I think they've managed to tell an incredibly upsetting and unpleasant story, portraying adoption in an extremely negative light, that has pretty much only made life worse for Tony and not even in a way that's narratively interesting.

I have some salt about this, yes.

I'm not against adoption retcons in general, and I'm not against retconning character backgrounds. I get the impression it was unpopular but I really liked the retcon of Carol's background a couple years ago in the Life of Captain Marvel miniseries by Margaret Stohl -- instead of her being a human given powers by the Psyche-Magnitron, she was revealed to have been secretly half-Kree, and the device merely catalyzed her latent powers. Her mother was secretly Kree and Carol never knew. The miniseries actually had a really nice scene of her and Tony talking about families, because understandably Carol (also now Car-Ell because, yes, she has a Kree name) now had a lot of complicated feelings. Kelly Thompson's Captain Marvel run continued to explore the implications of this, as Carol found out that she actually had Kree relatives. So Carol's got a new half-sister, Lauri-Ell, and they were immediately thrown into a situation where Carol had to defend her and believe in her and it was great and also now they're friends. Well, family. Friendly family. I think Lauri-Ell was probably the best thing about Thompson's Captain Marvel run and I'm honestly really glad Marvel went there.

Tony didn't get anything like that.

As far as I know, the way Kieron Gillen approached his Iron Man run was by not doing the reading and then completely winging it. And while winging it isn't inherently bad, it did mean that not only did he not know where he was going, he didn't know what had come before. That, combined with the fact that a lot of comics writers want to "make their mark" on a famous character meant that he was probably wanting to go for something big. Hence, adoption. Which, again, isn't inherently a bad idea; it can definitely give characters a lot to explore. It's a little odd as a choice for Tony who as far as we know is Howard and Maria's biological son in every other universe in the multiverse; there's no motivation given for why 616 should be different, and off the top of my head I can't name any other characters who only differ cross-universe in adoption status, although now that I think about it I bet there are probably some universes where other people raised Peter Parker.

Also "Arno" is a really odd name choice for Tony's brother. I get that Gillen was pulling the name of a future relative from the original Iron Man 2020 issues, which if you're gonna read one thing is a deeply weird thing to pick. I remember people asking him why he didn't name Tony's brother Greg. Ultimates is a universe where Tony in fact has a brother named Greg. That would have at least made some sort of multiversal sense. Apparently Gillen just… hadn't known Greg existed. Great.

Okay. So you're gonna tell a story about adoption. You're going to reveal that a beloved character has been secretly adopted all along and no one knew. What are you going to get out of it? What are you going to accomplish? Here are some possible choices. You could tell a story that's inspirational and representational to fans who are themselves adopted or have adopted children, because now their hero is just like them. You could tell a story about how Howard and Maria adopting Tony meant he was very much loved and wanted, because they consciously chose him and made him a part of their family. You could tell a story about how Tony, who has been an orphan for a very long time, has suddenly discovered that he has living family -- a brother, as well as his biological parents. You'd be giving him more people in his story, more people who could care about him, and I think you could tell a lot of interesting stories about Tony's new family dynamics. He could have had family who loved him, or at least hung around to interact with him -- Tony's only other relative we've ever seen, his cousin Morgan, hasn't been in an Iron Man comic in years, and also usually tries to kill him. But they could have taken this opportunity to make some changes. Imagine! Tony with a bigger family! Who cares about him.

That's not what Marvel did.

The reason Howard and Maria adopted Tony was that they needed a decoy son who was not their biological son (Arno) so that the alien who had genetically modified Arno wouldn't realize that Howard had undone his work. So that's why they adopted Tony. It wasn't because they wanted him specifically, loved him, wanted to give him a family, any of that -- they just needed a decoy. And in that light, the fact that Howard didn't love Tony looks even worse. Now it's not just "I never loved you," it's "I never loved you and I only ever wanted you to fulfill this weird plan I had going with an alien." Now you're telling the story "of course I never loved you, Tony; you're adopted." (And then he tries to sell Tony to Dracula.)

And that's… not a great look. Sure, not all stories have to be positive, but superheroes usually have some kind of relatable backstory, and it's easy for people to want to relate to them, and I feel like maybe you want to think a little harder before writing Tony as adopted when his childhood was already terrible and his family hated him. It could have been a really nice story about families of choice and how much Tony's adoptive family loved and wanted Tony. And it wasn't. Because Howard had been established for years as having been abusive. A story about a toxic adoptive family is not really great representation. "I never loved you" was pretty bad but "you're adopted and I never loved you," I think, sounds a lot worse.

You do also lose some plot elements by retconning Tony as adopted, namely anything having to do with him having a genetic relationship to Howard and Maria. And for the most part this isn't going to be relevant, but now you can't really easily tell a story about Tony inheriting alcoholism or general addiction or depression or whatever from his father. (I mean, you still can if you really want to; you'd just have to establish this as being true of his biological parents. But Marvel has not done that and does not really seem all that likely to start, because that would require putting them in comics and they're not doing that anymore.)

After Kieron Gillen left the book, Bendis came on. And I know Bendis' kids are adopted so I can understand why he'd want to tackle the adoption plot and really flesh out Tony's family. So a large portion of Bendis' IM run was about Tony's quest for, and eventual discovery of, his biological family. At the time, I figured this might actually be a good plot -- if they're not going to retcon out the adoption, they might as well lean in. I was looking forward to having Tony meet his family. The guy could definitely use more family, and I thought it would be great to see him interacting with them and developing new relationships.

That also didn't happen.

So what about all his new family members? His adoptive brother Arno? His biological mother and father?

Well, actually, they hate him too. All of them!

Arno went evil, is currently evil, tried to take down Tony, and is now trapped in VR or something. (To be fair, this wasn't Bendis' fault; Dan Slott did this in the subsequent run.)

Jude, Tony's biological father, is a Hydra agent who tried to kill Tony's mother. He met Tony once. He also tried to kill him. (This one was Bendis' fault.)

Amanda, Tony's biological mother, is a rock star and SHIELD agent who decided that now that Tony was living in a constructed, non-original body… he was no longer her son. And she wanted nothing else to do with him. She hasn't been back; yes, this was also Dan Slott's work. This is both cruel and bizarre because this is definitely not Tony's first brand-new body. If he's going to be dead to her because this isn't his original body, then he's been dead since at least Onslaught. If this was going to be a problem for her, it should already have been a problem as soon as she met him.

(That was one of the big issues for me with Slott's entire run in that a lot of it was about Tony having a crisis that he maybe wasn't really Tony because he had a new body. I was just like, dude, where have you been? Why is this only a problem now?)

So now Tony, who was already abused by his adoptive father, has discovered three new members of his family, all of whom also hate him!

Anyway, basically the only family Tony had who loved him was Maria. At least he had her, I guess.

So what's the point, really? He has more people to hate him. If you're going to give him new family, couldn't you give him one person who at least likes him? Carol has a retconned half-sister now, who loves her. Why couldn't Tony have something like that?

It's not even interesting pain, for Tony. This isn't anything different than what he already had. It just involves more characters now. They had the chance to use the adoption arc to really transform Tony's life and give him a whole new family to interact with and tell a story about choice and family and being loved and wanted. Instead, he has three new family members who hate him and who probably won't be appearing again anytime soon anyway. What did this even accomplish? What do we get? A story about how, once again, none of Tony's family loves him, that even more of them exist and they hate him too, that his adoptive family abused him, that's probably going to make adopted kids reading these comics feel pretty bad. I don't think this is really an accomplishment.

In conclusion… uh… this is me complaining about the adoption retcon to @blossomsinthemist while I was trying to figure out how to write this post:

Sineala: they never loved him but now they REALLY never loved him and also here's his biological family who never loved him either Sineala: i mean, i'm not opposed to giving tony more family but maybe they could… not hate him Sineala: i feel like tony should marry into a large and affectionate family Sineala: …actually, this is basically the avengers Sineala: never mind, he already did Sineala: if you don't have your own loving family, store-bought is fine

So, yeah. That's where I stand.

[dana-chan-the-control-brain]

Genuinely did not expect a serious response (or a response at all for that matter) to my mimic ask but I am glad that you gave one

It was nice to read about the whole machines doing what they're just programmed to do! I've been putting off reading the books but you've definitely convinced me to read them now. That is quite a spooky concept like you said and if that's the direction fnaf is going then awesome!

I've mostly been seeing just memes of the mimic so it was cool and refreshing to read all that info about them and how their creator affected them. Had no idea about all that stuff!

Here's the thing about the FNAF books that a lot of Youtubers Don't Tell you.

The Books take place in three Separate Continuities because there are THREE Series.

And this is how I understand it. Granted, this is all a theory, but I do have evidence to the games to back up these claims.

The Silver Eyes Trilogy: A series of books about Charlie and her Friends as teenagers (the victim of William Afton who goes on to be the Puppet in the games) These books take place in their own continuity divorced from Fazbear Frights and Tales of the Pizzaplex and the Games.... However... At this moment in time, they can really go either way to be confirmed by the games or not. They exist in this weird limbo where they can be proven or not proven. In a weird muddy area where they can either be a parallel, or they did actually happen as events. Take it with a grain of salt for World-building.... But they are entertaining stories... I am still in the process of reading the Twisted Ones. and it is highly possible that TECHNOLOGY exists from the Silver Eyes Trilogy in universe... Whether or not the story in these books is real or not.

Fazbear Frights Book Series: These are all fictional tales that people make up about Fazbear Entertainment. IN-UNIVERSE.

How can I say that so confidently?

We have stories where Men get pregnant with Springtrap, A Girl turns into a giant Bubblegummy monster, and a man cut off his face because a BaloonBoy told him to.

Fazbear Frights are where you see the most outlandish and crazy stories. Some are meant to serve as a parallel, but honestly, all of them are "Campy Goosebumps Horror" type of things.

And they have been Confirmed to be Fictional within it's own in-game universe:

This here is "Catch the Fetch" an arcade machine based on one of the earliest Fazbear Frights stories about an animatronic dog. Where the Protagonist of that Tale is named Greg.

So what does this mean? An easter Egg? Perhaps... But then you have things like this:

A lot of people forget that the first four games, and possibly onwards (given we don't know a lot about help wanted) Are all retconned to be "fabrications of actual stories"

Security Breach is littered with these arcade games, and they give a really clear indication of how all the "Fazbear Frights" Novels in their own universe... Are actual books (perhaps films) sold by Fazbear Entertainment to make fun of their gruesome past.

Which is why people say that stories in the books are so crazy and don't add to anything.

It's because Fazbear Entertainment just pumped out a lot of outlandish horror stories to cover the truth. You start telling stories about invisible ballerina dancers, and robots that steal your body parts to become human, and suddenly, a serial killer murdering children in a rabbit costume just sounds more silly now doesn't it?

The Fazbear Frights books, by admission, are fictional stories/legends/books/films in their own universe.

The Tales of the Pizzaplex:

THE TALES OF THE PIZZAPLEX BOOKS ARE 100% REAL AND HAVE HAPPENED BY ADMISSION OF IT'S OWN UNIVERSE

Every time something super strange or off the wall happens in the Pizzaplex books, either one or two things has happened:

"It was AR/VR the whole time"

"It took place in a different Pizzaplex Location that isn't the Pizzaplex Gregory visited."

"A robot was following it's job, and got decomissioned and evidence of said robot and attraction was purged from the Pizzaplex and reconstructed."

Don't get me wrong. The Tales Books are weird. There's still things in there that I can't really explain. (there was just one story where everyone got possessed by the virus and was trying to convince the protagonist to eat dirt.......Ignore responsibilities eat dirt. become worm. That one was just odd.)

But the Tales of the Pizzaplex seem to have actually happened... As we can see from this explanation of the canon events from the story called "Pressure"

The Fazbear Frights? The first four five nights at freddys? All urban legends and stories made by Fazbear Entertainment itself.

There is also a Character Called Steve Snodgrass in Tales of the Pizzaplex. Who was deemed as a "Scott Cawthon surrogate/parallel..." But here's the thing.

He wasn't a parallel.

He was one for one... Scott Cawthon in this universe!

The "indie developer who was commissioned by Fazbear Entertainment to make light of the tragic past" ....That was Steve Snodgrass.

We actually get details about how the first four Five Nights at Freddy's game series came to be within the confines of it's own universe.

We also get backstory about the Mimic, in excruciating details.

Who we know for a fact is well.. in the games:

(hello beautifal)

Oh.. and not to mention.. there is a story in the Tales books called GGY.... Where there is a very Sus Boy named Gregory, (referred to as Greg, but it's clearly our gregory from context clues) who appears to have a connection to Freddy, and gets the high score on every single arcade game.

And for a group project, he gives himself the codename Dr. Rabbit.

I wonder where Gregory could have gotten that name from?

The arcade games making fun of the tragic past by shrouding everything in a layer of ghost stories and bullshit.

Before all of this, I would have said that "the books are like an au of fnaf and don't matter"

And yes.

That was true... BUT AS OF THIS POINT in the Lore right now....

The Silver Eyes Trilogy: a weird limbo of factual/fictional. Take it or leave it. I feel like the technology and ideas presented are real, but I don't think the story actually happen or they exist in the Game Universe. As far as Silver Eyes are concerned... This is entirely it's own continuity.

The Fazbear Frights Books: The most outlandish and out there FNAF stories. That read like short Goosebumps Horror. In-Universe, it is admitted that these stories exist as stories in the FNAF-universe. They didn't actually happen, and only exist as ghost stories to muddle the truth.

Tales of the Pizzaplex: As of right now... These books I believe are based in the FNAF-universe Reality. Often tell stories of Robots doing their job, and accidently killing people due to programming issues. Lack of haunting, or really crazy things... The most crazy things happen in AR or VR or a different Pizzaplex that is not unlike our own. They often Describe Characters and events from the Pizzaplex that is ours as a one-for-one recreation... and I don't think things are meant to be a parallel or symbolize anything.... If you wanted to research FNAF lore... I think the Tales Books are the best place to start. Because of this moment... they are claiming to be canon to the games universe.

Again. You can take all this with a grain of salt. But Having Reading through the Silver Eyes, Most of Tales, and some Fazbear Frights stories. I do believe that this is what is happening with the books.

Three separate continuities.... three book series.

death of a true war criminal,zero accountability

Death of true war criminal, good riddance, zero accountability

The infamous US war criminal, Henry Kissinger died centenary in his bed in Kent, Connecticut, while his millions of victims all over the world were not so lucky. Kissinger would be celebrated and feted as genial geopolitical analyst, hailed as the man of rapprochement and détente between the United states and China, of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), arms limitation treaties between the US and the USSR, aimed at restraining the arms race in long-range or intercontinental ballistic missiles armed with nuclear weapons, which had resulted in the signing of SALT I and SALT II in 1972 and 1979, the evil who fooled Gorbachev to struck the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) in 1987. Kissinger might not have been motivated by hatred of communism. But he was a reactionary who empowered and enabled the sort of reactionaries for whom anticommunism was a respectable channel for America’s racist and exploitative socio-economic traditions.

Bush’s declaration of protection for Kissinger, coupled with his rejection of the Rome Treaty on the International Criminal Court, extinguished a glimmer of hope that Kissinger would someday join Pinochet under arrest. It was always a fantasy. The international architecture that the U.S. and its allies established after World War II, shorthanded today as the “rules-based international order,” somehow never gets around to applying the same pressure on a hegemonic United States as it applies to U.S.-hostile or defiant powers. It reflects the organizing principle of American exceptionalism: America acts; it is not acted upon. Henry Kissinger was a supreme architect of the rules-based international order.

Of course, the western mainstream would hide the dark side of the evil responsible of mass killing scored more than 4 million deaths according to the Yale University historian Greg Grandin, author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimating that Kissinger’s actions from 1969 through 1976, a period of eight brief years when Kissinger made Richard Nixon’s and then Gerald Ford’s foreign policy as national security adviser and secretary of state. America, like every empire, champions its state murderers. Every single person who died in Vietnam between autumn 1968 and the Fall of Saigon died because of Henry Kissin Kissinger materially sabotaged the only chance for an end to the war in 1968 as a hedged bet to ensure he would achieve power in Nixon’s administration. In February 1969, weeks after taking office, and lasting through April 1970, U.S. warplanes secretly dropped 110,000 tons of bombs on Cambodia. By the summer of 1969, according to a colonel on the Joint Staff, Kissinger — who had no constitutional role in the military chain of command — was personally selecting bombing targets. A second phase of bombing continued until August 1973, five months after the final U.S. combat troops withdrew from Vietnam. By then, U.S. bombs had killed an estimated 100000 people out of a population of only 700,000. The final phase of the bombing, which occurred after the Paris Peace Accords mandated U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, was its most intense, an act of cruel vengeance from a thwarted superpower. Kissinger inflicted indirectly rather than by edict. In 1971, the Pakistani government waged a campaign of genocide to suppress the independence movement in what would become Bangladesh. For Kissinger, the Cold War was a geopolitical balance among two great powers. The purpose of Cold War statecraft was to maximize American freedom of action to inflict Washington’s will on the world — a zero-sum contest that meant restricting the ability of the Soviet Union to inflict Moscow’s — without the destabilization, or outright Armageddon, that would result from pursuing a final defeat of the Soviets. On September 4, 1970, Chileans elected the democratic socialist Salvador Allende president whose program was more than redistributionist, nationalizing the firms Anaconda Copper and Kennecott held by these two companies, Allende informed them he would deduct estimated “excess profit” from a compensatory package he was willing to pay the firms. It was this sort of unacceptable policy that prompted Kissinger to remark, during an intelligence meeting about two months before Allende’s election, “I don’t see why we need to stand idly by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people.” The coup was only the beginning. Within two years, Pinochet’s regime invited Milton Friedman, Arnold Harberger, and other economists from the University of Chicago to advise them. Chile pioneered the implementation of their agenda: severe government budgetary austerity; relentless assaults on organized labor; privatization of state assets, including health care and public pensions; layoffs of government employees; abolition of wages and price controls; and deregulation of capital markets. “Multinationals were not only granted the right to repatriate 100 percent of their profits but given guaranteed exchange rates to help them do so,” Grandin writes in his book Empire’s Workshop. European and American bankers flocked to Chile before its 1982 economic collapse. The World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank loaned Pinochet $3.1 billion between 1976 and 1986. Pinochet’s torture chambers were the maternity ward of neoliberalism, a baby delivered bloody and screaming by Henry Kissinger. This was the “just and liberal world order” Hillary Clinton considered Kissinger’s life work.

I was tagged by: @polkadotpatterson (aka told irl I was being tagged, lol)

current time: 9:37 pm

current activity: just got back from a fun day out walking and having coffee on the waterfront & dinner at a diner and am now hanging out on the couch with my beloved partner 😌

currently thinking about: I've been thinking a lot lately about the state of monetization/enshittification on the internet - eg, the ways twitter is failing, the horrifying overrreach of Meta, and why websites like Wikipedia have remained largely independent, and what the internet could look like without constantly catering to the currently evaporating shell game of making money off users of their sites via advertising or predatory methods (and how that might work - like can voluntary donation work for something like a social media?)

current favourite song: My current top song is a House in Nebraska by Ethel Cain (that whole album is great - sort of southern gothic tragedy that's both so doomed by the narrative in a meta sense but also grounded and visceral) but I also want to shoutout Death of an AI by yeule (ethereal innocence-as-tragedy in a sense)

currently reading: back and forth between Harrow the Ninth and a nonfiction called Effortless by Greg Keown, which I'm reading mostly to try and figure out how to spend less time doing my job lol

currently watching: watched one of the new episodes of black mirror recently and the concept was interesting enough, and then also slowly working my way through the Makanai, which is about a teenager living with her friend and acting as the cook for a house of maikos (entertainers in training) - very peaceful.

current favourite character: can't pick just one ofc, but I've been thinking a lot about the Salt universe Moist Talkers and their relationships with each other as they adjust to being on the team, as well as my fanteam in the same universe, the Vancouver Deltas - they're only side characters for the Salt, but I'm way too attached to them anyways and have backstories on all of them

current wips: work is killing and rending and murdering me so I've barely written anything recently but the next wips are going to be for the Salt when we get zine 2 going!

Tagging: idk I think Cynda tagged everyone I know who hasn't done it so anyone who'd like to please feel free!

[mexican-cryptdez]

I want to talk to someone about Steven universe and it’s lore. About how it makes sense that Greg never took Steven to the doctors or school. About what did the rest of the world think when Gem stuff happened and effected other countries or you know the whole worlds water salt water bodies were gone and what that should’ve led to for other people but because Steven isn’t connected to the outside world and doesn’t know about big news

[touchstoneaf]

@sagan-starstuff sent me a quiz. Used to love these! What's the origin of your blog title? The X-Files episode, "The Sixth Extinction: Amor Fati", where Mulder tells Scully, "In the end, though my world was falling apart, you were my *constant*. My *touchstone*." And she says, "And you are mine." (and then i died, and haven't recovered in over twenty years. So. Yeah.)

OTP(s) + Shipname: MSR (Mulder and Scully, The X-Files), CLex (Clark and Lex, Smallville), Spuffy (Buffy and Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), TenRose/Timepetals (The Doctor and Rose Tyler, Doctor Who), Ineffable Husbands/AziraCrow (Crowley and Aziraphale, Good Omens), XenaGab (Xena and Gabrielle, Xena; Warrior Princess), Cangel (Angel with Cordelia thank you very damn much!), Imzadi Forever (Riker and Troi, Star Trek TNG), and of course, the OG, Spirk aka K/S (Kirk/Spock, Star Trek TOS, though I favor the triad with Bones a lot of the time). There are more I haven't written about, which is my threshold for OTP status, that i equally adore, such as NickGregLove (Nick and Greg from CSI), Sonny and Brenda and Luke and Laura from General Hospital (those were the days!), Sarah and Kyle Reece (the Terminator, talk about ruining my life from a young age), Lessa and F'lar (the Dragonriders of Pern), and various other incredibly questionable ones, lol.

Favourite colour: blue, preferably a sky blue alongside a bright, happy yellow, like a kid coloring sunshiney skies with crayons.

Favourite game: I dunno, i'm big into this one right now where you shoot the colored balls, but they hit this spinny thing and it's always in motion. OG games: Mario Bros 1, Mario Bros 2, The Legend of Rygar, Milon's Secret Castle, Tetris (NES), Arkenoid, Asteroid (Atari), Terminator 2 (GameBoy), JewelMaster, Cool Spot (Sega Genesis)... and then i quit. Oh, PC: Snood, Penguin escape, Magic: The Gathering, the original one). Games you play without a screen: Magic: The Gathering, DnD, PENTE!!!, double solitaire, Apples to Apples, Bananagrams.

Song stuck in your head: Probably something by Sleep Token, they have me in a death-grip right now because they work for my TenRose series. Or "Beautiful World" by Take That, for the same reason.

Weirdest habit/trait? I too cannot have any fingernails long enough for me to see white, lol. In science class in HS they had us scrape our nails and look at the crap under 'em with a scope, and, just. NO. (not necessarily weirdest, maybe. When i was younger and living with a very controlling father, i used to eat paper off my books, but that's a past thing.)

Hobbies: writing all the time. Lots of other ones, mostly involving collecting stuff, otherwise. Drawing, esp maps and weird fantasy creatures.

If you work, what's your profession? Foster Youth counselor

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Geologist or talk-doc (practicing psychologist)

Something you're good at: writing, drawing (depending on what it is, lol), procrastinating. EXCELLENT, god-tier at procrastinating!

Something you're bad at: remembering to do somethign if it's not literally in front of my face.

Something you love: writing, fangirling, my kids, cats, horses, Dionysus and my other Greek deities, hanging with my magickal peeps, chocolate, salt and vinegar stuff, sour stuff, Love as a universal energy, music (esp with amazing lyrics or incredible drumming/bass)

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: whatever i'm hyperfixated on at that moment. Usually some pairing or other. Lately i'm also back on my "Secretariat was impossible wtf" bullshit, because that horse was BAFFLING. (i don't even support horse-racing, it's awful, but holy fuck that animal.)

Something you hate: unfairness/injustice, current US policies and a lot of past ones, racism/sexism/homophobia/anti-homelessness crap, capitalism... all the 'isms (except for the 'tism, which i have and consider a superpower, lol).

Something you collect: oh, that's a list! books, movies, music, games, money from places, bottle-caps, fandom crap, t-shirts from concerts/nerd stuff, just whatever. All the things, lol.

Something you forget: easier to write down what i don't forget. Probably because i forgot it, lol.

What's your love language? infodumping, lol, quality time.

Favourite movie/show: LOOOONG LIST. See above re fandoms. Movies-wise, The Abyss (director's cut), Fried Green Tomatoes (and the book ofc), Apollo 13 never fails to make me bawl, The Terminator, Aliens (three of these have Michael Biehn in them because i was obsessed with him as a hormone-rattled teen), hmmm, surely many many more.

Favourite food: sour-ish things like pastrami and corned beef and saurkraut, pesto-related things, various types of chips like dill and salt and vinegar that fit in that category, and sour pickles only if they're so sour they turn my face inside-out. (I haven't been fully satisfied by a pickle since i was a kid at Knott's Berry Farm)

Favourite animal: Cats, horses.

What were you like as a child? ye standard neurodivergent undiagnosed kid: shy, awkward, bullied, intellectual, obsessed with whatever.

Favourite subject at school? english/composition related ones and art

Least favorite subject? i couldn't do geometry to save my soul. loved algebra, tho.

What's your best character trait? my compassion

What's your worst character trait? i am not patient enough with my kids and i hate that. fighting the triggers is a daily, sisyphusean battle

If you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? that i have to do literally anything that's not writing, lol. Realistically, tho... my inability to get anything done housework-wise. (if i could hire someone to take over my house-elf duties, i'd be so excited!)

If you could travel in time who would you like to meet? I dunno; lots of amazeballs folk in the past. If i thought he existed, Jesus, so i could tell him what assholes so many of his so-called followers have turned out to be, maybe?

Recommend one of your favourite fanfics (spread the love!): Probably something Spuffy from Elysian Fields

anyone wanna play?

"Texas is the energy capital of the world, and we are ready to be No. 1 in advanced nuclear power," Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a news release Monday announcing the final report produced by the Texas Advanced Nuclear Reactor Working Group (TANRWG) that he created in August, 2023. The group’s charge was to conduct a study and report detailing the potential for Texas to become a leader in the arena of advanced nuclear technology creation and deployment in the same way it currently leads the nation in oil and gas, and the deployment of wind and solar power generation.

A Strong Nuclear Playing Field in Texas

In the 78-page report released Monday, the TANRWG describes a playing field on which Texas is already home to a pair of major nuclear projects - the South Texas Nuclear Project and the Comanche Peak Nuclear Plant - along with the Pantex Plant outside Amarillo, which serves as the primary domestic facility responsible for the maintenance and security of the U.S. nuclear stockpile. The state is also home to a massive known resource of uranium that accounts for 8% of total domestic reserves.

In addition to all that, on page 9 of the report, the authors point to the project underway to develop the state’s first advanced molten salt reactor which Doug Robison, founder and CEO of main funder Natural Resources, told me earlier this year could begin live tests as early as 2026. That project is a joint effort of Natura Resources and Abilene Christian University and is housed on the ACU campus. Three other universities - The University of Texas, Texas A&M University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology - are research partners in the project.

On September 16, Natura announced it had secured its final construction permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission needed to proceed to completion. It is the “first construction permit for a liquid-fueled advanced reactor and only the second for any advanced reactor issued by the NRC.”

Recipe For A Better World Order

Kerala Meen Kootaan (Fish Curry) (Credit to: Greg Palast and friends!!)

[A lovely and not-at-all-out-of-place recipe in the book on geopolitics by Greg Palast, Armed Madhouse! 🙂🙂 ]

You won't find this on the menu at The Palm or The Four Seasons or other feedlots for rulers of the New World Order.

Chances are, you've never heard of Kerala [I have! 🙂 LK], and the economic carnivores want to keep it that way. While the free-market Mousketeers peddle the blood-soaked fake "miracle" of Chile as their model, Kerala has thrived, notes Nobelist Amartya Sen, on the economic cooperative model, with expansive social services and universal education.

This tiny state on the Arabian Sea has a population more literate than any American state's---its main export is PhD's for energy and computer industries. In 1995, I visited a fisherman's cooperative.

This is what they fed me:

KERALA MEEN KOOTAAN CURRY

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. firm white fish (cod, halibut, sword) or tuna cut into 1-inch cubes

1 medium onion, chopped

1-inch cube ginger, shredded

7 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tsp. mild Kashmiri Red Chili Powder (or 1/2 tsp. hot red chilli powder plus 1 tsp. paprika)

1 1/2 tsp. coriander powder

1 pinch turmeric powder

4 pinches fenugreek powder

2 tbsp. canola oil or other light-flavored oil

1/2 tsp. mustard seeds

10-12 curry leaves (Note: Curry leaf is NOT the whole form of that English mixture called "curry powder".)

2 tsp. tamarind paste

1 cup water

salt

2tsp. coconut oil (optional, for garnishing)

Method

Cut and clean the fish.

In a blender or small food processor, make a paste of the following ingredients with a little water: onion, ginger, garlic, chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, and fenugreek powder

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry mustard seed and curry leaf.

Add the paste and fry all this well (until the oil separates).

Now add the softened tamarind, and pour in the rest of the water.

Then add salt. After it boils, add the fish.

Let it simmer until the gravy thickens and the fish is tender.

Lastly, sprinkle the coconut oil, and leave it on the heat for a minute.

Serve it with white basmati rice or with boiled tapioca.

Thanks to Santosh Shyamsundar in Kochin, Kerala, for recovering the recipe. Linda Levy in New York for converting it to the Western kitchen and Oliver Shykles of Brighton, UK, for testing it.

All that to be found on pps. 164-5 of Armed Madhouse, by Greg Palast! Which is mostly a book about politics and economics!!

(Other authors in the same field, like Michael Moore, John Pilger, should try this idea of including a local healthy recipe in their books! As well as making the curry... 🙂)
