Some exercises to get to know an oc!

(I’ve designed this list so that it requires no art or proper writing at all, it can mostly be done by doing picrews, describing and answering questions. )

1. Your oc as a playable video game character, (special abilities and stats). Bonus: write dialogue or one-liners.

2. If they played Dungeons and Dragons, what would their character be like?

3. Evil version of them

4. contents of their bag/ items they always carry around.

5. Average shopping list

6. various outfits for scenes or occasions

7. character’s wedding dress (yes, put that man in a dress.), or any other fancy outfit they would have

8. Graphic design: advertisement for their (perhaps nonexistent and/or illegitimate) business, wedding invite card, cult pamphlet,etc

9. Your oc is on the news for something they did. What did they do‼️

10. Mess around with the incorrect quotes/ headcanon generator

11. Take “what x are you” quizzes as them

12. what crimes are they most likely to get caught for? And what crimes are they most likely to get away with?

13. Describe or show how they would take notes for their studies, research, job, etc. this is better than a diary page, because it doesn’t demand you to get into character so much. Also less awkward.

14. A little known skill they have

15. Your oc watches Transformers. Which version of Megatron would be their favorite? Go on look all of them up right now and decide which one they would vibe with the most.

16. Need to prepare a really quick breakfast/lunch/dinner. What do they go with?

Feel free to send me asks with these and optionally the name of one of my ocs, and I will answer them.

OR you can give me a canon character and I’ll answer in a way I think would be accurate to them.

I hope other people can have fun with this as well. Feel free to repost!

Look... the point of all the "sirius and james are extraordinarily bright" posts is NOT to say that needing or even just WANTING to study between tests is smth that makes remus (the person this usually is about) less intelligent than he actually was, nor to shit on people who do that, or call them dumb.

We know for a fact that sirius considers snape a highly intelligent person. And snape spent most of his time after the dada owl revising. He does make fun of him for the way he writes, but not for the fact that he keeps writing until the papers are collected. He never says a word about remus deciding to study more, other than that it's not his preferred way to spend the time between exams. He regards all of the golden trios comments as equally valuable, even though hermione studies the most, and the others just do it when necessary.

Sirius has a good understanding of the divide between book smarts and street smarts, and he doesn't discriminate. He enjoys the Wensley twins ingenuity, and Harry's joy in quidditch, he regards mundungus fletchers intel as important and dumbledores plans as overall working for the grand scheme. He never shows impatience with remus' way of regarding the world around them (other than when sirius is bored and remus wants him to study with him)

The point of this is never. NEVER. That remus is stupid in any kind of way. Nobody thinks that wanting to study for exams is a sign of stupidity. If that were the case, there would be a large part of the fandom who think of hermione as barely literate or whatever. Bc she studies all the times, as well as between exams. But this is not the case.

The point of the "james and sirius were smart though" posts is this: they became animagi at 15, and helped peter to do the same. They developed the two way mirrors (once again, most accurate and reliable form of long distance communication in the wizarding world) at some point before their last year. They were two of the people who developed the map of hogwarts after all of that. They also were regarded as incredibly bright by Minerva McGonagall (who rarely gives out compliments EVER - even to those she likes, yet she was complimenting sirius at his worst), Flitwick at the same time, snape whenever he went on one of his angry rants about james, hagrid whenever he felt like it, and dumbledore - regularly about james, once about sirius after his death.

So. Again.

The point of these posts is not to be mean to remus for shits and giggles.

It's about the fact that most of marauders art and writing almost compulsively includes lines and comments about sirius and james being stupid. It's about the trend of making james a himbo - to only show his intelligence in some arbitrary grades, if ever, and to make the people around him always commenting on his stupidity.

It's about the fact that all of sirius' accomplishments have to be sourced out to remus. Its about how sirius' general interest in the world at large has to be focused solely to the fact that he wants to fuck remus. Or be fucked by him whatever.

Its about all those stupid ass incorrect quotes that call sirius and james stupid to their faces. It's about all the fics that do the same.

This isn't about the sirius fans calling remus stupid, or showing him in a light that makes him look stupid.

It's about the fact that it's barely possible to find anything about sirius or james in which they aren't explicitly called stupid in the text of the incorrect quote, art, or fic presenting them. Always in service of making remus, lily, and regulus look more intelligent

Obey Me Rewrite - the Passion Project

Note: spoilers below the cut

I’ve always been in love with the game obey me and been super passionate about it as a long time fan however the game itself is kind of lacking.

Obviously it does what it does well, it’s a dating simulator about demons from hell but what I mean is it lacks potential.

I love the characters and their relationships with each other and the overall concept, that is what made me fall in love with it in the first place however I do have my own issues with the game not as a dating simulation but as a story.

To give you more context:

Characterization

- characters are given great potential with interesting backstories and fun personalities however the direction the game takes them completely wastes any sort of progression as interesting 3 dimensional characters

Example: Satan - he is shown to show personal struggle with a sort of inferiority complex with the way he was brought into this world (or hell) by people only viewing him as an extension of Lucifer and only as wrath, not as an individual living being. He works hard to create a name for himself and he prides himself on wisdom. He has a strong character and one of the best self restraint in terms of anger I dare say (he did attack mc but honestly from the way he was acting in Nightbringer it is progression) plus he is calm and collected and obviously by now a respected demon. Though he knowledgeable in itself, he still has issues to work with, one being working out his difficulties with Lucifer, (maybe) coming to terms with the way he was born and the trauma he went through when Lilith fell (he technically felt Lucifer’s pain). Instead as the series progressed we only saw him a soft cat boy, cmon 😀.

There are much more examples of this in fact all of them have such wasted potential, I’m not going to go in depth (unless someone asks me to hehe) but a very notable mention I would also like to make is

Example 2: MC - I’m not going to comment on how they are dull or has no personality because actually they can be very sassy depending on which options you choose. Also the mc is supposed to just be a self insert so I understand that enough. Anyways what I would like to give note to is the fact that mc forgave belphie right away after he I don’t know KILLED US? Or should I say, more accurately, the game forced us to forgive him so we would have the belphie lovey dovey options (no hate to belphie stans I’m just saying). What I mean to say is that we shouldn’t have not forgiven him you know, honestly it’s more of pacing. We COULD have forgiven him and actually that would be interesting development and a look into their backstory as angels, however there was no real progression towards forgiveness or us even being remotely scared of him (I may be wrong on this but I remember belphie and mc becoming besties real quick with no hard feelings) like the snappy mc incorrect quotes I think would actually fit well into the story as well as proper talk and real progression towards forgiveness.

2. Concepts and storylines

This is slightly less of an issue but I do take slight to the way the game handles storylines. Season 1 was the best (in my opinion) because it was less of “uwu mc marry me” content and more of demons being demons.

Alright so this really bugged me but I don’t like how MC is a a descendant of Lilith, like I know the brothers and Lilith are not blood related and are honestly more found family and that MC and Lilith and so far related (in terms of how many generations were between them) that they barely share dna I believe (in terms of physical dna and all that good stuff not the angelic powers) but I’ve always found it kind of gross but I guess that’s just a me problem…

I’m going to take the next part of my issues with concepts and storyline as general as possible but it’s really long but… hell doesn’t feel like hell, or should I say devildom doesn’t sound like hell

There is technology in other depictions of hell (like Hazbin hotel) but that’s done better because it’s not so emphasized (I know DDD is part of the game but I think they drive the technology bit overboard) it’s a lot less subtle and hell just feels like an abridged human world with slight magic involved.

The demons don’t even act like demons or look like demons, as hot as their demon forms are they look like emo teenagers that just discovered hot topic like girl bye 😭. They don’t act remotely demonic like sometimes, and everything just seems like a cosplay is the best way I can describe it. I know it’s 12+ and not 18+ but I really enjoy the more gorey fanfic versions of obey me concepts because that feels like hell, it brings out emotions in me of shocked scared and surprised which is what Dre me into the game in the first place, not a bunch of boys going to play dress up and harass the MC.

I have much more problems with the game( I still love so obviously I’m gonna play it) but this is more of a rant and I just played Nightbringer so I hope there is more lore that resolves some of my issues but yeah!

I’m not that skilled of a writer or anything but I would really like to try and rewrite obey me as a kind of “real hell” as a passion project, obviouslt no characters, or anything trademarked belong to me this is more of for fun. Again I’m not that experienced so if anyone would like to give me tips on how to write or would lousy like to chat about obey me, about this rant and other issues or just obey me in general feel free to dm me I’m always looking for more obey me stuff hehe but yeah, or actually honestly I just want your opinion on this.

I know it’s not that deep it’s a game about horny demons but it still means a lot to me and I hope you guys understand where I’m coming from. Thank you.

do you have any idea where anne being a "fashion icon" originated from?? it feels like one of the myths i see even in well researched biographies

✨ terfs/zionists fuck off ✨

i wrote abt this here.

actually i think this is an indicator of how stagnant tudor research is. where you say ‘well researched biographies’, we probably should more accurately recognise that there hasn’t been a proper, academic biography on anne boleyn since eric ives’ work, and that tudor scholarship more generally has stagnated since the 90s-2000s. new books are published all the time, but they are usually not of much academic merit and the research largely doesn’t offer anything new. that is how a lot of these ‘myths’ get perpetuated: it impacts jane, too — as it contributes to the myth that jane banned french hoods for their association with anne. consider this quote and it's citation from carol ann johnston’s pen & sword book on jane seymour:

she (incorrectly) cites lancelot de carles via a webpage referring to gristwood’s game of queens book, so i also checked that:

this is not sound research, and shows how simplified (and, frankly, factually incorrect) popular history can be! anne's 'frenchness' would probably not have been such a novelty, and de carles' description of her as "by her manners [...] a native-born frenchwoman" only tells us that she had been strongly influenced by her time in france. it does not tell us that this was unique to her; actually, her peers likewise spent time in france/on the continent.

more reasonably, french fashions were already popular - they would remain so after anne's death, for katherine howard was known to prefer them, even though she never left england. that anne had taken to french culture is no surprise, given that she was there during her formative years, so no doubt she was recognised as fashionable because she was following existing fashion trends. that she was singled out as exceptional after the fact was, no doubt, in large part due to the attention paid to her as queen, and mother to elizabeth. that records specified her as inventing and introducing new fashions seems to be on account of a misogynistic narrative of anne being frivolous in her spending, and using clothing to disguise disfigurements... both of which carry negative gendered implications, and should almost certainly be thrown out.

ives probably has the most sound interpretation. he acknowledged that anne, as queen, had a suitably large and luxurious wardrobe for a queen: “nicholas sander’s story that ‘every day anne made some change in the fashion of her garments’ is entirely credible. had she lived, her wardrobe might well have rivalled the 2000 costumes which tradition assigns to that most fashion-conscious of monarchs, her daughter elizabeth”. but he does qualify his acceptance of sander with a fair point: “sander, born in 1527 and in exile from 1561, was hardly a contemporary witness of the events of anne’s life or an expert on the vagaries of female attire in earlier generations — high necks came into fashion after anne’s death”. were the fashions he attributed to anne closer to the fashions of his own time? moreover, the fact that a woman's wardrobe might be used against her by men is clearly present here, too, given his later unnecessary comments about jane seymour:

"always comparison was made to anne’s disadvantage, although we may not today draw quite the pejorative implication intended by another john russell remark, made after attending the marriage, that ‘the richer she [jane] was in apparel, the fairer and goodly lady she was and appeared; and the other [anne] he said was the contrary, for the richer she was apparelled, the worse she looked'. anyone familiar with holbein’s portrait of jane seymour might be forgiven for feeling that she needed all the help she could get".

Vex: Truth or dare? Raven: Truth. Vex: How many hours have you slept this week? Raven: Raven: Dare. Vex: Go to sleep. Raven: I don't like this game.

Vex: Where are you going? Raven: Hell, eventually.

Raven: *trying to get five seconds of sleep* Vex, poking Raven’s arm: Raven Raven. Raven. Raven. Raven: WHAT? Vex: …We’re out of Capri Suns—

Raven: This is Vex, they’re… not my assistant, some other word. Vex: I’m their carer. Raven: Yeah, my carer. They care so I don’t have to.

from: incorrect quotes generator! :D

Is this made by AI or somethin? Why is it so accurate hshshhshs especially the sleep part, Raven/Rag is always awake, his thick dark circles and serious face explain it right? If I could meet him directly I would love to shout at him "fuck your insomnia! go to sleep, you're fucking tired!" Lemme visualize these chats soon if I have free time.

Rules: use this link to generate character quotes

I didn't decide which WIP to do this for until I generated my first quote, then decided to do it for Homebirds, because I liked the thought of the multiple character quotes. I just did a couple of them until my 8 protags were accounted for:

***

Eli: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be? Hari: Maybe a bit tipsy? Isaac: Drunk. Dean: Wasted. Logan: Dead.

***

Catherine: If I make you breakfast in bed, a simple "thank you" is all I need. Catherine: Not all this "how did you get into my house" business.

***

Eli, writing in their diary with a glitter gel pen: I'm losing my sense of humanity. Nothing matters. God is dead. There's blood on my hands.

Yo-Kai Watch Incorrect Quotes Part 4

Bear: Everyone thinks I'm this soft cute person but I'm not! Katie: Bear, you cried for an hour after stepping on a bug yesterday. Bear: It had feelings! It was probably going home to dinner and I killed it! Nate: ...It was a bug. Bear: It was a BEETLE, and its wife is definitely worried sick, wondering where it is, and I really don't get why you all think I'm so sentimental because I'm not! Katie: ... Nate: ... Bear: Stop looking at me like that!

*Katie is in the kitchen and she hears a crash from the living room* Katie, running into the living room: WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED HERE?!?! Jibanyan, looking at the broken TV screen and the remote on the floor: I was trying to throw the remote onto the TV stand! Katie: And Nate didn’t stop you?! Jibanyan, pointing at a sleeping Nate: He's been asleep for the past three hours. Whisper, floating in, oblivious to the situation: Hey guys- Whisper, realizing: Wait, is the TV broken? Why?! Katie, pointing at Jibanyan: He threw the remote onto the TV stand. Whisper: Come on! That’s the 5th time this week and it’s 2 in the morning on a Tuesday! Nate, waking up to see the situation: *yawns* How long was I out? Nate, seeing the broken TV: OH GOSH NOT AGAIN! JIBANYAN, I TOLD YOU NOT TO! Jibanyan: You were asleep!

Nate: I have a question. Katie: Shoot. Nate: Is the S or C in scent silent? Whisper: F*** you, I’m going to be thinking about this all day. Katie: Okay well, cent is pronounced the same way as scent so I’m gonna say the S is silent. Nate: Okay, but sent is also spelled the same way. Whisper: Google says that the C was added in the late seventeenth century, so I guess the S is silent. Jibanyan: Plot twist, both the S and the C are silent and the E actually makes the sss sound. Whisper: Jibanyan is not allowed to talk anymore.

Nate: Wait a minute, how did this happen? We're smarter than this! Whisper: Apparently, we're not.

Nate: You know, people treat me like a god. Whisper: How? Nate: They ignore my existence unless they need something.

Whisper: I honestly feel like some of our conversations here are almost word-for-word accurate to the generator. Jibanyan: Yup. Nate: Maybe the generator is watching us. Whisper: Wouldn't that imply this conversation will be added? Whisper: ... Whisper: Wait—

Understanding Freight Cost Calculation: A Comprehensive Guide

Calculating freight costs accurately is crucial for businesses that rely on shipping goods. Whether you're a small business owner or logistics manager, understanding how freight costs are determined can help you make informed decisions and potentially save money. Let's dive into the essentials of freight cost calculation.

What Factors Affect Freight Costs?

Freight costs aren't determined by a simple formula. Several factors come into play when carriers calculate how much to charge for transporting your goods:

Distance and Location

The distance between pickup and delivery points significantly impacts shipping costs. Generally, longer distances mean higher costs. Additionally, remote or difficult-to-access locations often incur surcharges.

Weight and Dimensions

Most carriers use either actual weight or dimensional weight (volumetric weight) to calculate shipping costs. Dimensional weight considers the space your shipment occupies in relation to its actual weight. Carriers typically charge based on whichever is greater—actual or dimensional weight.

Freight Class

The National Motor Freight Traffic Association has established standard freight classes (from 50 to 500) based on:

Density

Stowability

Handling requirements

Liability (value, risk of damage, theft)

Lower class numbers usually mean lower shipping rates, while higher class numbers indicate more expensive shipping costs.

Shipping Mode

Your choice of transportation mode significantly affects costs:

Road freight (trucking)

Rail transport

Air freight

Sea freight

Intermodal shipping

Each mode has its own pricing structure and is suited for different shipping needs.

How to Calculate Your Freight Costs

Now that you understand the factors that influence freight costs, here's how you can calculate them:

Step 1: Determine Weight and Dimensions

Measure your shipment accurately. Remember that carriers may reweigh and remeasure your items, potentially leading to additional charges if your measurements were incorrect.

For dimensional weight, use this formula: (Length × Width × Height) ÷ Dimensional Factor = Dimensional Weight

Different carriers use different dimensional factors, so check with your specific carrier.

Step 2: Identify the Freight Class

Determine your shipment's freight class based on its characteristics. If you're unsure, consult the NMFTA classification guide or ask your carrier for assistance.

Step 3: Consider Additional Services

Factor in any additional services you might need:

Liftgate service

Inside delivery

Limited access delivery

Residential delivery

Fuel surcharges

Insurance

Step 4: Get Quotes

Once you have all the necessary information, request quotes from different carriers. Many carriers offer online calculators or rate sheets that can provide estimates based on your shipment details.

Tips for Reducing Freight Costs

Understanding how freight costs are calculated puts you in a better position to find ways to reduce them:

Negotiate with Carriers

If you ship regularly, build relationships with carriers and negotiate better rates. Volume discounts are often available for consistent shippers.

Optimize Packaging

Efficient packaging reduces dimensional weight and potentially lowers your freight class, resulting in cost savings.

Consider Consolidation

Consolidating multiple smaller shipments into one larger shipment can be more cost-effective than shipping items separately.

Plan Ahead

Rush shipments almost always cost more. Planning your shipping schedule in advance allows you to choose more economical options.

Compare Different Shipping Modes

Sometimes, a different shipping mode might be more cost-effective. For example, rail might be cheaper than trucking for certain long-distance shipments.

Understanding Freight Quotes

When reviewing freight quotes, make sure you understand what's included. Some quotes might seem lower initially but could have hidden fees or exclude certain services you need.

Ask carriers to provide a breakdown of all potential charges, including:

Base rates

Fuel surcharges

Accessorial charges

Insurance

Taxes and duties (for international shipping)

When to Consider Third-Party Logistics (3PL)

For businesses without dedicated shipping departments, working with a 3PL provider might be beneficial. These companies:

Have established relationships with carriers

Can negotiate better rates due to their shipping volume

Provide expertise in optimizing shipping processes

Handle logistics complexities on your behalf

Final Thoughts

Calculating freight costs accurately requires understanding multiple factors and how they interact. By taking the time to learn these fundamentals, you can make more informed shipping decisions, avoid unexpected charges, and potentially reduce your overall shipping expenses.

Remember that shipping rates and practices evolve over time, so staying informed about industry changes will help you maintain efficient and cost-effective shipping operations for your business.

Calling it an ARG isn’t just ‘technically’ incorrect its 100% incorrect. It wasn’t even a fandom thing the creator made it as an art project and it blew up overwhelmingly and now they don’t even want to do it anymore

Look bud, you’ve kind of got me between a rock and a hard place here. The artist has asked people not use his words as artillery against each other, and quoting him directly is the only way I can accurately respond to you, so we've come to an impasse.

Anyway I wanna talk about ARG semantics instead, which is an interesting conversation we can both have together.

It involves analyzing analog horror as a whole to understand how we've arrived at having both a modern, and a traditional, definition of ARG.

To make a long story short, just in the event you're not here in good faith or perhaps don't like reading long essays - also to like. Do everyone a favor rq - the word people are looking for to properly define Welcome Home is ergodic analog horror. This is the umbrella term you're all looking for. Ergodic. We're moving on now.

Might I also recommend two video essays I love if you find this topic interesting: Ergodic Literature: The Weirdest Book Genre by CloudCuckooCountry and History of Analog Horror by Alex Hera

So lets ask: What makes something (not Welcome Home, we're not talking about that anymore, I do literally mean Something in General) "technically" an ARG?

Our modern day definition of an ARG has quite honestly become interchangeable with the term ergodic literature, most likely due to "ergodic literature" being an obscure term; however, the evolution of the analog horror genre subverting what it means to be "a game" is a much more likely cause that I think is important to appreciate.

By traditional definition - perhaps having been lost to time, this was the early 00s after all - an ARG is only a proper ARG when there is a game master orchestrating a game, and the story does not, will not, and can not progress without player participation. There are quite a few famous ARGs our there that went on for years before being finished because the participants got stuck. It's entirely on you to finish the narrative. Think of them like global LARP sessions, a lot of visiting physical locations to get your next clue is involved.

There are lots of traditional ARGs, some famous ones include projects like I Love Bees, Blair Witch Project, and the very infamous "Hey Peabrain, you teleport?" that happened right here on tumblr dot com. These games are my experience with defining what is or isn't an ARG.

Of course, time moves on with or without us, and I've come to accept that ARG is a broader term than it was before.

It's important to note that ARGs are the direct birth parent of modern analog horror. In fact, while analog horror has always existed as a sort of artistic backdrop, it wasn't a named genre until Local58 offhandedly defined itself with the term "analog horror". Many well known analog horror projects such as Mandela Catelogue, Gemini Home Entertainment, or Mystery Flesh Pit National Park, take much of their inspiration from the groundwork Local58 laid, and took to calling themselves analog horror as well, as one might expect.

Now, these influential supergiants are in, what you might call, "read only" format. Audience participation is not needed for the story to progress, which is a necessary component of an ARG.

Until it isn't!

Looking at art projects like This House Has People In It, Liminal Land, Doki Doki Liturature Club, or House of Leaves - just to name a few - they are all alternate reality "games" (one of them is literally a game). AR"G"'s, if you will.

The narrative presents itself as being contained, but very much is asking you to engage with it, if you so choose. They lay out clues to be found that take you to the next Easter Egg, and a deeper story can be ascertained, but only if you want. This is, technically, an ARG.

You can also just choose to play Doki Doki without digging into the sound files and extracting the meta data to get the secret art, or just watch This House Has People In It without finding the related secret website explaining Links Disease, either option is a "correct" way to read the media. You only stand to gain a different perspective by looking into more.

Which again, that's ergodic literature.

But these projects are famously considered ARGs.

These projects were huge, some of them mainstream, and were a lot of people's first time introduction to analog horror and ergodic literature. Some of these self define as an ARG when that's technically incorrect.

Altruistically, what these projects are accomplishing, is creating accessibility to the game space of the ARG genre. Cherrypicking all the self contained, gamelike elements, without committing to orchestrating a game. Traditional ARGs are typically extremely time sensitive, and one might "miss out" for arriving late to an event, or having limited access to necessary tools. Perhaps some people feel unsafe at the prospect of going to an unknown physical location, on the hope it's part of the game. Traditional ARGs were once incredibly niche for that reason. Modern AR"G"s keep this to a minimum, if not outright omit it in favor of telling a good story.

I'm not sure if there's a recent example out there of a traditional ARG, other than Hey Peabrain? Certainly there are some, to be honest with you I've moved on from traditional ARGs in favor of modern ones and other analog horror media subgenres, but my point being that they're becoming less common as they're increasingly replaced by Hunt-A-Killer style story ""games"". Shortly, we'll see some of the same evolutions begin to happen as digital horror outpaces analog horror as the shiny new popular horror genre. With digital horror's inclusion of formats like tiktok, I would expect to see us circle around again to traditional games being explored within the alternate reality space, as it lends itself well to that kind of thing.

In general, people are going to be familiar with this form of ARG, where "game" means "a story asking you to engage with it", and will default to using ARG in that way. In the broader experience of others, ergodic literature is an ARG, even though ARGs are not ergodic literature, technically. Most ARGs calling themself an ARG are not ARGs, mntechnically.

With any luck, this essay was compelling. It's just a thinker, really, I'd be interested to hear what you - or anyone - might think.

I'll reiterate, here, in closing, that by no means is this analysis meant to be seen as being in defence of, or opposition against, how anyone chooses to use the term ARG. I'm making no statements about Welcome Home or the people who took to it as if it were a traditional ARG. Neither am I expressing my opinion on the way fans engage with art projects, or even actual ARGs. That's a whole other conversation we aren't having here.
