#I may post about the game on my writing/fandom blog once the hack is in a playable state and we can start on our campaign

[makarovspussy]

alsooooo I'm in my full nerd era and have gone knee deep into hacking/homebrewing the Ironsworn TTRPG system into one suited for Lovecraftian-inspired settings and investigation gameplay. I won't be posting it anywhere because I straight up rip a lot of shit from another major Lovecraftian Ironsworn hack (Eldersworn) and other Ironsworn hacks and homebrews and stuff and mush them in with my own mechanics. just 2 make The Perfect Game™ for me and my partner to play. so it doesn't need to be anywhere else except our hard drives and maybe printed out. and I'm having a lot of fun with it

If you are bringing multiple muses please choose ONE to serve as your main muse to work in the haunted house (the others can be guests, especially if you’d like an excuse to try out a new muse.) Your main muse should be listed first on your entry form.

Haunted House Actor

What section do you want to work in: Options: Haunted House / Carnival / Hades / Dark Maze / Graveyard / Anywhere short on people / New Suggestion! (Please tell me what it is) What costume will your muse be wearing: Please include a narrator’s flavor text that would appear when a guest enters the room (This description should give the mun an idea of what the room looks like as well as what their muse can interact with and do): Please give me a short writing sample of what your muse might say when a guest enters your section of the Haunted Castle (A scripted scene between 2 or 3 muses is allowed. This is different than the above as multiple characters may be in the same room, with the narrator giving the flavor text you wrote above): And now two things your muse might say/do to keep the action in your room going: Would you want to be the entrance host if one is needed? Experienced RPers only please: (Yes/No)

What is an entrance host? You would be at the very front of the haunted castle’s haunted rooms. You would be responsible for letting people into the haunted house in the order they started waiting in line, and making sure groups had the right number of people by either adding people who came by themselves or splitting up groups. It’s your responsibility to make sure they understand how to use commands to get from room to room and answer any questions they have in character about the haunted house section of the castle. The Haunted House cannot operate without a host. Most of the time that will be me! With extra hosts, the house can run even in my absence when IRL things need me.

DJ

Would you like to use an existing playlist (easiest) or would you like to make your own playlist: (Premade / either / Mine) Do you have experience streaming music on Discord or using bots to stream playlists? (Yes/No)

If you would like to make your own playlist please submit the url to a youtube playlist between 10 and 50 songs you think party goers would enjoy (keep it PG-13 please) : Is there a theme to your playlist: (i.e. Halloween, Ballroom music for muses dancing in the ballroom, Industrial Music, Carnival, etc.)

If you signed up to play your own playlist but are asked to use an existing playlist (such as the ambient track for muses in the haunted house) would you be okay with this: (Yes/No, I only want to play my playlist)

Party Planner

What will your muse be doing to help with the party rooms: Options: Flavortext catalyst for interesting situations / serving food / bartender  something else?

Moderator

Why do you want to be a moderator:

Do you have any prior experience helping with an event:

Here’s a few questions that will give me an idea how you’d handle an uncomfortable situation. Assume that when these scenarios happen you are the only mod online.

A guest is being passive aggressive to other mun. No one has complained yet. What would you do:

Someone is having their muse drink to the point of vomiting, and is amusing themselves by throwing up on the other muses. People seem uncomfortable in character and out of character but haven’t complained yet. What would you do:

A muse is being roleplayed to do things such as use a knife to hack at their demon tail and horns while the muse cries. If no one is interacting with them they’ll start hurting themselves again saying, “If I didn’t look so ugly I would have friends like everyone else.” until another muse comes over to give them attention. Someone has messaged the DMs saying this makes them feel uncomfortable. What would you do:  A user messages you saying that someone joined they don’t like and to please kick them out of the event. What would you do:

An argument breaks out in the mun area of the chat, and what started as two people arguing now has six people arguing. As it continues, more people join in the argument to give their opinion and join in- the situation is quickly getting out of control. What would you do: A mun tells you they feel left out and don’t know how to get started in the game. They’re kind of shy. What would you do:

[thexxphiles]

So I’ve been off tumblr for a long ass time and by chance I was catching up on as much as I could stomach within throwing up. Mostly reading my pal @justholdinghandsok blog. And what a shit show it is around here. Christ fuck almighty. I originally joined tumblr in 2015 on my first blog gillovnyphile. While there have ALWAYS been lunatics here (like the shit bags that STALKED ME IN REAL LIFE AND CALLED MY CLINIC AND MY DADS CLINIC) and fandom factions (the Gillian fans - some who were very nice- and then the subset of complete whack jobs who believe she is a divine goddess not of this earth who has no faults, makes no mistakes, never dates anti feminist men who failed to pay the LEAD ACTRESS on his show the same as her male costar. Oh, wait, wasn’t Gillian incensed when it happened to her in 2015? Well, her memory is spotty, after all. The only thing she can seem to remember is the size of her platonic male friend costars dick.) And she handled press for season 11 just so…professionally. I don’t see anything wrong about talking about your pubescent son’s erection on national TV. I thought it made perfect sense to announce she was done with the show before the season even STARTED because that was sure to drive up ratings. But that’s not all! Then there’s this group of incredibly fucking spooky Duchovny cult that seems to be compromised of old men, lonely women and 12 year olds who are orgasming over their beloved “private concert” with the greatest musician of our time, David “mid life crisis” Duchovny. Who in the actual fuck would pay more than 15 cents to listen to that fool caterwauling through his “brilliant” lyrics. I mean, fuck Prince or Bowie or Beyoncé or Adele. Those guys are/were hacks compared to the musical stylings of a 58 year old guy with a thirsty as fuck barely legal girlfriend. And, look, I always always liked D more than G because G is just so goddamned extra. I met them both at Gillovnycon 2016 with my boo @xfiles9316 and another person…well we won’t go there. Just remember don’t give money to anyone on tumblr even your “friends”. G was pretty cold and unfriendly and sort of scared me. Meanwhile D was totally nice and we had a good chat. We shook hands. After the high of that con (and I met some TRULY Special fans there) we were headed for a fall and it hit in October 2016. I’ll never forget that day because I had my first panic attack. I knew it was true from day one (though I understood people not wanting to believe it.) the only good thing was that I had processed all that grief and had become apathetic by the time the porn pictures showed up the following summer. It was painful to look at. But then this whole sub fandom of (what are they called? Gorgos or something? They should call themselves Reptilian (get it…one’s a reptile and one’s Gillian. I dunno, I think it’s catchy.) who made it their life’s work to shit on and fight with Gillovny fans and post…unflattering, and I’m being kind, pictures of their new obsession. Is PM problematic? Of course he fucking is. But so is she so maybe it is true love (until PM writes the part for her she’s been angling for since before she met him. Career ALWAYS comes first for her. She’s said it. At least she’s practical I guess. At this point you need a goddamned scorecard to figure out who is fighting with who. It’s such an incredible waste of time. Don’t you guys work? I’m at clinic 13 hours a day and work about 65 hours a week. I just remember all the fun we used to have when there were great blogs and awesome pictures and GIF sets and analyzing body language and waiting for the next inappropriate tweet. Was it all a lie? Was it just a game Gillian was playing as she stated once? I’m still not sure. But what I will say is that I believed then and I believe now that those two were involved from 2012-2016 in some way. As someone who could have gotten a PhD in the time, energy, intellectual analysis and research I did from 2015-2016 I will always believe it was real in some way we may never understand. Do I think they’ll get back together? I’m not sure. I’m more hopeful at at least seeing them at SOME con in the future and at the end of the day what I always truly wanted for them is to have a beautiful special friendship- soulmates of some kind - that lasts their whole lives. To the old guard (god knows how you guys do it) I just want to say hi and that I miss you guys and NEVER TAKE SHIT FROM ANYONE @campaignofmisinformation, @bird3000, @whoisbillymilesand, of course, @justholdinghandsok. And any of you cunts calling her a liar can eat Peter Morgan’s disgusting hairy ass. Over the years I’ve had numerous numerous conversations with her and she’s a solid, kind, calm, smart truthful woman who doesn’t deserve your vile disgusting bullshit. And because this place is such a cesspool of unstable… people I fully expect to get attacked and get death threats and all the usual sociopathic unhinged behavior you’re famous for. And I give not one shit because I’m smart enough now to know that nothing good ever comes from this place and I check in roughly once a year anyway. Have at it fuckers.

[terrablaze514]

I looked down at myself; the physical shell that used to be me. This isn't fair... After all, I've always wanted to travel the world and meet new faces, taste new food, learn their customs and explore what nature brings.

Seems this may never happen again. Not without a troublemaker.

Wait a second... I can do this. Hack into cyberspace and shift things.

Okay, let's see... Cancel all queued posts in my main blog. No. Post remaining lazy queue every four minutes. Once that's over, post the last fic updates, both original and fan-based. Then, automate cross-posting without delay. A special RIP note will be added to each one on every platform.

Hmph. That was easy. On to Plan B.

Attack the trolls and shut down the site. I can't believe I'm trapped inside this part of cyberspace! It's ballistic! The only good thing about it is seeing some of my favorite fandoms and interesting facts about life.

But it's too much. I don't have the patience.

Initialize EradicationOfTumblr.exe...

This won't eradicate Tumblr. It will eradicate every other social media platform in existence. The only other platforms that will remain standing are Instagram and Pinterest.

Everything else dies.

Activate InternetBlackout.php...

"You got Pwned!"

Perfect. Everyone will be forced to migrate. Meanwhile, tags are not working properly. They shouldn't, or else these changes won't come to effect.

And now, to hack all email accounts of government. Post them to WikiLeaks. MurderZuckerberg.exe... no more Facebook, which will be loaded with Game Of Thrones spoilers. It's a virus, so anyone who accesses their FB will find their computers, tablets, smartphones, etc. in limbo. Recovery is impossible. Hehe!

And now, we wait for the apocalypse. Just like Ghost Nappa.👻

@writing-prompt-s

You’ve been cursed by a witch so that when you’d die, your ghost will haunt the last place you’ve been on before dying. You’ve just died while using tumblr.

Really long rant about how I made Vanilla Twilight, I typed it at 2am so it’s kinda crappy and boring, just skip through this post.

So I'd been thinking about it for a long time now, even before finishing Vanilla Twilight that I'd talk about it if someone asked, well that never happened so I was just thinking that I'd let it go but that post is so important to me so well fuck it I'll just talk about it anyway. I did it completely on a wimp like how cool would it be if I make a lyricstuck for Toumaki like I'd be the first (if anyone did this before me im sorry). The first song I intended to do wasn't VT, it was a much shorter and easier song. I saw the music video first time after a while and the lyrics gave me some scenes to draw right away, like the tones, the atmosphere, the lyrics all fit them very well, made me wanted to draw something happy but sad. The ending for it was a happy one instead of a sad one like other songs I did (I didn't post the ending for any of them, just let the viewers decide what it's gonna be) I was very scared like what if it won't turn out ok and people gonna hate me for it or no one even gonna look at it. Also what I visualized are mostly illustrations with backgrounds, what I never done before so high chance it won't go anywhere. I thought well let's just see how far will I get and won't talk about it at all until I post it so at least I won't be all barks no bite. I was very traumatized that someone might know about what I did so I locked all the files when I shut down my PC in case someone hack into it lmao. I started with making a storyboard(kinda) for it, this is where I first got trouble because there was some part I didn't think of when I visualized what I'd draw at first ( 'I don't feel so alone' part mostly and some in between) and it's only at this point that I realized how many I'd have to draw (over 40 images total) and it's mind blowing for someone who rarely finish a painting like me at that time, that number is more than what I'd draw in a year. VT doesn't have choruses that meant I can't do tricks like repeat some panels (I don't like this anyway). I usually painted on small canvas before that but I wanna make sure I can fix things later and some idea I had was pretty big so I used 3000x5000px canvas then trimmed them down ( I didn't know how big it was and it's huge). The idea was to make a tumblr scroll-post like a lyricstuck (my favorites are by paperseverywhere and toastyhat/emptyfeet , they made really cool tutorials about these) so I tried to drew out compositions that would look good scrolling down panel by panel and have some connections between them (this didn't turn out so good in the end because I wasn't good lol) Since I was scared that people might point out that I draw something wrong, it took me almost a week or something searching for references (check my pinterest board) like the streets, sky, houses, roads, outfits, poses,... I was going to draw. I got some knowledge about bikes by this too, like I can tell the differences between road bike, mtb, touring bikes,... I also see and captured bunches of screenshots and reread ywpd trivia countless time to make sure I won't get anything wrong. If you take notice, every outfit Toumaki wear in there are all canon, from anime or promos. The first few panels was really exciting because I had never painted so many with backgrounds before, I was really happy when I almost finished the first verse even compared to the full 3:50 of the song it was only 20 seconds and I thought maybe I can pull this after all. The last panel was intended to be Makichan standing infront of his house looking at the sky but I wanted to show the sky at the end of the panel and that wouldn't work on scroll-down post so I had to leave it for later, I repainted this panel for about 3 times and finished it just 30' before posting. The first panel of the second verse wasn't turning out alright too because that was my first time doing a 3 points perspective drawing and the colors didn't turn out as I wanted either (my intention was a green/gold dawn scene). Things kinda worked well despite that until the scene when Toudou sits in his ink, gdi I didn't know why I was so caught up in that and painted every piece of that wooden floor, it took me almost a week but turned out better than I expected so I was ok with it. I was going to make sketchy paintings for all of the panel but I did too much details on that one so it gave me the impression that I'll have to do just as much for every others. Now I still had school to go and that semester my uni got me pretty crappy schedule that made me have to wait for classes at school frequently, I was frustrated because I didn't get to paint during that time and I might finish it too late (even though I didn't set a deadline) and when I got home I just spent so much time checking twitter and just can't pick myself up to draw and ended up feeling shitty about it. *Side story*  I was so mad because I didn't get anything done and there's still more than half of the whole thing to do and the worst part is that I had no one that I can talk to because I didn't have any friend who ship Toumaki and I also don't want to publicly talk about what I was doing, I wanted to surprise people when I'm done, I didn't wanna give people the expectation then screw it up (I literally thought I'd drop a bomb not a grenade lmao) I can't remember how long was that shitty phase but I felt like it was so long, I barely finished verse 2 at that point. I was so mad at myself and my progress so I spent a few days to look at time management threads and this helped a lot, I changed my habits completely  by this and I still apply those methods now, like I used to stay up til 3am to read fics (bless you writers you fueled me with your writings bless you all) then I switch to bed before 12 and get up early for a good start or reduce working time while increasing quality* After that I kinda got things together,I just went ahead with painting tho it's still kinda tiring, I had to work on 5 essays during this time too. At this point I was like screw all, I give no shit about what everyone thinks I'm just gonna finish this and get some good nap (I practiced power nap to get more focus time for painting but dude everyone wants a good long nap) 10 days before uploading I found out that there's a Toumaki day (I'm so sorry), I was going to posted on the first sunday of June (I did researched on which was the best time to post on social medias so I randomly picked a sunday) and Toumaki day is the last sunday of May, that meant I had 10 days left and 15 panels to paint! I was going to ignore that but I already made it big I should make it right too so I shit my pants going through those last panels. I purposely hiding Toudou's face till the last verse to emphasize the feelz and got so relieved that I finally got to paint him (I read some tags that some viewers got emotional at this part so I'm so glad it worked). The whole things was put under Makichan's perspective so I was so sick of painting him at that point, he showed up in every panel and I can't paint him ugly because he's beautiful (especially his hair, I spent shitload of time painting them). I can talk lots about why I picked to do so but that's headcanon shit and it's embarrassing so let's just skip that. The last day I had only 3 panels left and I was hell confident that I've got this and somehow spent the whole evening rewatch Toumaki pingpong ep (end me). Of course that didn't end well, I managed to finish those by midnight but I still had like 3 panels that needed  repaint completely and all 43 needed retouch and edits. My plan was to post at 9am sunday (thats 9pm saturday est) so I had to get up at 5am and finish all that, I ended up cutting down 2 panels and simplified the instrumental panel (some tags said that was nice so I was at least relieved). Unlike other songs I did, the length of every line's quite different and the original sizes I did would make viewers have to scroll slower or faster at different parts. I didn't plan this beforehand and had to trim down some panels even the parts that I really liked and spent lots of time on. I also found out that people outside the homestuck fandom might not familiar with this type of post so I made a video too (I’m sorry I have zero skill in editing). After posting I was terrified of people's reactions or worse, there won't be any reaction so I turned everything off and went to sleep and woke up with an unimaginable number of notes I'd got, I set the target of 500 notes and I really didn't think that I'd get past that number like maybe 2-300 (well my other songs didnt even get 200), at the end I got 5000. I spent the next week reading and screencap tags given in reblogs, I put them on desktop and they're still my motivation til now. Vanilla Twilight is the thing I'm proud of the most even until now, when I've done other songs and projects that look somewhat better. If I have to recommend one thing on my blog I'd recommend it despite its' unskilled paneling, poor composition and muddy colors. It was the first time in my life that I'd put so much effort into something and went through such emotional roller coaster, the feelings I put into it was raw and the idea was very original compared to other songs, I improved and changed a lot during the 2 months I spent on it and never once regret doing it. ***Anyway, you sure have much free time to read it this far, here's a little game for you: I put random things in VT and HF like some characters/stuff from other series, my ocs,... (there wasn't anything purposeless in there even the logo on their cups or the bags they wear) just send me anything you find and I'll draw you something in return**
