#admin ro posts

[threelivesthreeworlds]

Why are you running a blog for a plagiarized work written by a violently homophobic author?

(Admin Lins note: This will post will contain both admins speaking at different points, there will be talk of d.anmei and B.L, overall the admins are frustrated with the phrasing used by the anon and we suggest you use critical thinking skills when reading this as to not misunderstand our words) 

Admin Ro: This is a complicated question, with complicated answers. I don’t think you’ll be satisfied with my answer, anon, but I’m on a train and I have the patience to lay it out right now, so I’ll tell you why, for me personally, I allow myself and other people to enjoy this series and make derivative content for it.

( Admin Lins: to disclaimer: admins are consumers and enjoyers of d.anmei/B.L, admin lins also consumes a lot of sapphic content primarily western written, these books are in no-particular order

Admin Ro has read: m.dzs, s.vsss, p.each b.lossom d.ebt (aka the book the allegations are around), t.gcf (<--- at least 5 times by Admin Lins’ last count),g.uardian, Q.ianqiu, 2.ha, I b.ecome a g.od in a h.orror g.ame, w.elcome to the n.ightmare l.ive, K.aleidoscope of D.eath, t.hriller t.rainee, t.hriller t.our g.roup, g.lobal e.xamination, g.irls of p.aper and f.ire, i.ron w.idow 

Admin Lins has read: m.dzs, t.gcf, g.uardian, both two or three chapters of s.vsss & 2.ha each (I’m slow, s.vsss requires a certain mood, and 2.ha is just dark and heavy so I take my time with this), about ten chapters of q.jj back in 2020, about one or two chapters of q.ianqiu, in the midst of reading i b.ecome a g.od in a h.orror g.ame, the s.inging h.ills c.ycle series, s.he w.ho b.ecome the s.un, i.ron w.idow, g.irls of p.aper and f.ire series, s.he is a h.aunting, the c.hosen and the b.eautiful, b.urning r.oses

( Admin Lins: chances are I missed some books we’ve read or I have intentionally left them out as they aren’t relevant to this post.) ) 

Admin Ro: Firstly, a lot of media is problematic, even without our knowledge. If you don’t allow people to consume media because some of its contents are problematic, its author or source is problematic, etc. etc., then there will be nothing in the world left that’s completely “safe” or “moral” to consume. It’s somewhat unreasonable in my opinion to demand that someone enjoy only completely correct things, especially in a world where hardly anything is always 100% correct. Reading a book and liking it does not mean I condone its problematic moments. In fact you’ll find that a lot of the times on this blog specifically we point out where something is problematic. We don’t blindly consume this content, we are able to be critical thinkers and decide which parts of a story we do not agree with the message of.

Admin Ro: I assume the violent homophobia you’re referring to is largely the fact that the novel is supposedly plagiarized from a B.L. First, to say nothing of the plagiarism aspect, do you suppose that B.L as a genre isn’t homophobic at its root of origin? In China, the genre is mostly produced by straight women for the consumption of straight women. They call themselves f.ujoshis. B.L is like y.aoi, in a sense - largely still the fetishization of gay men for the profit of straight people. It’s representation, yes, but lots of them contain what you would consider problematic in terms of content regardless of if it were straight or gay - with frequent noncon/dubcon, the perpetrator being an l.gbt+ main character we are to sympathize with, toxic and otherwise unhealthy relationships between l.gbt+ characters we are meant to ship, graphic and intense violence and other heavy themes directly in the actions of characters who are l.gbt+. I don’t know if you read B.L, but perhaps you should head over to those (much larger, by the way, and much more vocal) fandoms first and ask them why they support a genre that is so violently homophobic? (<- note this is sarcasm) No? Well, if we are allowed to critically think with these stories to understand these characters and relationships as we do, then we’re allowed to critically think with this series. 

Admin Lins: I’d advise, if you do not want violently homophobic Asian authors in the content you consume, please avoid the B.L Y.ou’ve G.ot M.ail: The P.erils of P.igeon P.ost - F.ei G.e J.iao Y.ou X.u J.in S.hen as that author went on an abusive, homophobic, and transphobic rant toward a gay, Taiwanese author when the gay author was merely celebrating how Taiwan now allows same sex couples to adopt.

Now, our frustration lies in the fact that this was sent to our blog, under the assumption of whatever you, dear anon, have in their mind. Maybe it was entirely innocent, but to us, your tone came in as guns blazing. We are in fact consumers of B.L/d.anmei as stated in the beginning of this post. We are also queer women, who frankly don’t appreciate the words “violently homophobic” carelessly thrown around about an author we have only seen alleged claims to do with plagiarism about, and have investigated into where the evidence seems to rely more on people just don’t want to accept that a queer person can be in straight-passing relationships or accept queer characters can exist in a story that isn’t b.l/d.anmei as there is no speciality genre for queer characters that aren’t in same sex relationships or are in straight-passing ones, and phrases that are common to the Chinese-language are thrown around as evidence for “plagiarism”. 

Admin Ro: Tang.Qi may not have always been the best at writing her own l.gbt+ characters in some instances, but marked improvement can be seen in later books. Her main characters aren’t entirely “straight” either, even when they’re straight-passing. If there’s some other homophobia you’re referring to, I’m unaware of it and you’re going to have to expand. 

Admin Lin: 

To list off some of the queer characters / relationships / moments in 3l3w for you: 

B.ai Q.ian herself calls the relationship she had as Si.Yin with L.i J.ing her “first homosexual relationship”. She also switches between sexes as she pleases and is comfortable as either. 

L.i J.ing battles internalize homophobia/biphobia because his shitty father is also gay. It’s a lot of inner turmoil for him which is partly behind the reason he cheated on Si.Yin, the belief he could not be into men if he was into women.

S.u M.oye’s older brother, D.ie Y.ong, is gay and has a crush on Y.ehua. Their father also announces that whoever heals D.ie Y.ong, if a man, can marry D.ie Y.ong, or S.u M.oye, if a woman.

B.ai Z.hen and Z.he Y.an are basically an old married couple who bicker to the point B.ai Q.ian and B.ai F.eng J.iu avoid them to let them figure themselves out when they have arguments. But they’re also shown to be rather affectionate with each other.

B.ai F.eng J.iu is not one to wax poetic but the two times we see her - one is when she’s writing love letters as Consort C.hen to another wife of Emperor S.ong’s to break his heart (when she obviously could’ve chosen any male figure to do that to) and when she sees J.i H.eng for the first time.

J.i H.eng & M.in S.u are eloped aka married for 100 years before they part ways.

J.i H.eng’s older brother X.uyang has feelings for M.in S.u when he still believes her to be a male body guard.

Z.uti (aka C.heng Y.u’s original self) was born agender with the ability to choose their sex at 40,000 years old. They meant to take on a male form but chose to take on a female form. However, while still genderless, Z.uti got engaged to a female flower fairy named G.u R.ong, who Z.uti was then engaged to as a woman herself for over 200,000 years, some of which they were both sleeping during. And G.u R.ong deeply loves Z.uti, even upon her (G.u R.ong) choosing to break their engagement. 

G.u R.ong herself is a fierce and protective queer woman over whom she deems to be her family. 

Admin Ro: As to the plagiarism, I have read both books in their original language. This is my opinion - you can form your own if you choose to go read these books for comparison’s sake like I did. But - in terms of plot, considering that they are of the same genre and written in the same time frame  and so barring the usual 2010s x.ianxia settings, they really couldn’t be more different. They have some common characters because both authors borrowed real Chinese deities, which I believe to be reasonable in a similar x.ianxia setting. If you want to interpret it as such, maybe you can find characters expressing sentiments in similar ways, but to be fair those are neither copied directly nor even paraphrased. Also, Tang.Qi has won every plagiarism court case she’s in. You can choose not to believe in the Chinese court system, I certainly don’t know if I do, but that’s just supplementary information. 

Lastly, anon - because I want to run a blog for a story I like. Just as if you want, you can x out of this page and stop wasting your time and maybe go touch some grass. I humbly think that would be a better use of your time than trying to police two people on the internet reading an obscure book series and making shitposts about it.

WIBTA for not telling the mods of a wiki that I traced artwork and joined their site when I wasn't thirteen??

I (15F Autistic) joined a fandom wiki for a fandom like, when I was ten I think??? I was struggling with school and my teacher sucked and I had no friends so when I saw a fandom wiki that allowed you to publish your OCs for that fandom, I made an account against TOS and joined. During that time, I saw great artwork made by other people in the community, and me feeling my art skills were inferior and stupid compared to theirs, so I traced artwork for my OCs. It was always DeviantArt Adoptables or random anime pics I found online, and compared to my real art which I thought was terrible and made me think people were laughing at me behind my back, I felt proud and even posted that stolen artwork on my own DA account. Of course, as I grew older, I got rid of all the traced artwork off the site and pages they were on, and my DA has long since been left to ro. I've stopped publishing my traced artwork, and if I do trace it's for practice only, but I've never told the admins that I traced artwork at all

The other issue at hand is that I have yet to tell the moderators/admins of the wiki that I joined under thirteen, as well as their Discord server, which was against TOS. At that time of making the account I felt lonely, and I know that's not an excuse. I'm selfishly scared about telling them the truth because I'm afraid of the consequences. But if I were to wait until I was eighteen and come clean, or never come clean at all, I feel like that would be such a breach of trust.

TDLR: WIBTA for not telling the admins of a fandom wiki that I published traced artwork and for joining their wiki and discord when I wasn't old enough???

What are these acronyms?

[incaseofart]

THE BOYS! I forgot to post this back in November fkjdsahfjkdsa I need to find a poly one to fill out for the three of them~

transcript under the cut:

[Left image, left to right]

First, an introduction!

Lero Ro: Greetings, I am Lero Ro, Ranker and Test Administrator on Evankhell's floor. It's nice to meetchu~

Void: I'm Void Scalar. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure we'll get along well.

Have them introduce their partner:

Lero Ro: THis is my partner, Void. They're a Ranker as well, though not a test administrator. They're quite cute, aren't they? :)

Void: Lero Ro is amazing! He's one a powerful Ranker, and I think it's wonderful how dedicated he is to teaching the Regulars that come through Evankhell's floor. His excitement is infectious.

Something they adore about them:

Lero Ro: Void is absolutely adorable, are they not? Just look at them. That snaggletooth is beyond cute. Their mannerisms are quite sweet as well, with all of their lovely stims. I can't help but want to kiss them when I see them get excited.

Void: He's so handsome!!! >w< And like I said, he's a very dedicated person, not just to his work, but to me and to his friends. He's a bit of a showman, honestly, and I love that side of him too. He can make anything sound exciting, somehow!

Inner dialogue:

Lero Ro: The Regulars this test are doing just fine, and everything is on track. After this group, I've got a few days off to go see my darling Void. <3

Void: I wonder if you could do something like this and give a pocket a new function…I wish Lero Ro were here. I miss him. I wonder what he's doing right now? …what was I doing- oh yeah the pocket improvements-

free space!

Lero Ro: As beautiful as those glimmering golden scales are, seeing them fade away when Void is comfortable and safe with me is the highest honor I could think of.

Void: I fell for him while we were climbing the tower, actually. I mean, honestly it was pretty immediate from meeting him. He was quite a bit more serious back then. It's wonderful to see how he's been able to relax a bit ever since we became Rankers.

[Right image, left to right]

First, an introduction!

Quant: I'm Quant Blitz, best scout in the entire tower and certified ranker. I'm a test admin too, or whatever.

Void: I'm Void Scalar. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure we'll get along well.

Have them introduce their partner:

Quant: Void's the best!!! They're such a strong Ranker, do NOT fuck with them. They'll kick your ass and so will I, heh! They're also my partner, so go ahead and get jealous about that. What? Yeah and Ro's too but that's not important right now-

Void: Oh, Quant? I've known him forever. He's so much fun! Hehe, yes, it is true that he's dating Ro and I these days. Anyway, yeah, it's a little surprising to me that he became a test administrator too, but of course I support him in whatever he does.

Something they adore about them:

Quant: What's not to love, have you seen them?! They're SO cute and hot like, full package right there. AND strong? Can't beat that. I'm especially fond of getting to be silly with them. We have sooo many laughs. Way more laughs than they have with Ro!

Void: He's so cute. He's kind of like a small dog- don't tell him I said that though, actually. He gets very excited about everything, and he's so fun to tease and rile up! I can't help myself a lot of the time. Oh, I also love the way he's more than willing to indulge my silly side.

Inner dialogue:

Quant: I'm so fucking cool. I'm the best Scout there is. These Regulars are lucky to get to learn from me. This is kinda boring though so I think I'm gonna spice things up so I can go see Void faster…

Void: Ugh, this design review is going to take forever…pfft, look at this meme Quant just sent me. Incredible. F-fuck, I can't stop giggling-!

free space!

Quant: Can you believe it took Void and Ro so many centuries to finally admit how bad they'd fallen for me? I mean really, we all knew from the beginning I was destined to be their third. I mean, how can you NOT love me? I'm me! …it's t-totally true. Shut up.

Void: I have always liked him, truthfully. Back then though, I just…well, it's not how things worked out. I'm glad the three of us are together now though. Even before, I couldn't imagine a life where the 3 of us weren't together in some manner.

so guys. opening askbox for me was like inviting a vampire in i will stay here for a bit actually. i have thoughts > i did read the post-greyscale xavier vs virion yap session in the morning and then had a lot of coffee and a lot of time to think about it (insanely boring slow day at work). i'm hijacking that train of thought i hope u don't mind

x insluting him like this is so evil /pos. actually one of my favourite little details about canon pd greyscale is how william's family just generally. lowkey sees and treats vynce as his bodyguard instead of his friend. that's so mean! suggests a specific unbalanced power dynamic between them and it feels bad when people point it out! and in nhw context it's even stronger because to be honest. yeah can they really argue against it? he is the bodyguard, he is the guard dog of the group, it's absolutely obvious. still feels bad and dehumanizing to hear, he's More than that, but x is not Wrong. it's the type of dynamic that jade could lightly tease william about in more private chill setting. and he could get embarassed and laugh it off then, but now it's like. oh so you Mean It. it's a low blow and feels awful but you know you can't even fight against it because in this context it's a dumb thing to whine about. so sorry wraith but you did way worse shit and now you deserve to feel upset about me being mean to your pathetic boyfriend or whatever, and you know it!! you know how it is, when dogs bite someone they get put down!! womp womp i guess!!

🥃- HIHI whiskey/vee/jason here <3 yayy we're doing emoji sign offs!! like a bigshot multi admin blog waow.... THANK U for the ask btw, we have all been rotating it in our minds on loop!!!! god. GOD yeah. virion's the guard dog!! drives me insane that in canon wiwi's parents literally thought he was his bodyguard or something. i love taking shit like that and running with it!!! xavier isn't wrong, virion is their guard dog!!! insane to me that xavier and jade would have made jokes about it to virion and the other nhw before and now xavier is using it as an insult post-greyscale. xavier knows a lot of shit about the nhw that he can and will use to get in their heads. dehumanizing virion into something less than human is very much one of them!!! and xavier does beat the shit out of imprint at some point, which i think would really drive something home for the rest of them. yeah i took out your guard dog. he's bleeding out on the street and crying for his mom. what are you gonna do without him, wraith? what are you without someone to fight your fucking battles for you? god, william being like almost a handler for the others is insane to me. he's not the leader, that's failsafe, but wraith says heel and failsafe and imprint both step in line. he was in charge of directing capes where they needed to be in the fight in deadwood. people keep putting their leashes in his hands!!!! and he just has to do his best to wrangle them!! what would he even do if xavier ripped virion's leash from his hands and took away his best friend and one of his most reliable weapons? and isn't it a horrible terrible thing that one of his weapons is a person at all?? drives me insane!!!! <3

👽sliding in 2 also say (hi btw its ros) that the secret other layer i think abt a ton irt this is virion being pretty much the classic guy to dehumanize himself. post-trigger event up until well after he joined the wards, his coping mechanism was shoving everything in a box and burying the box extremely deep and never fucking thinking about it. things don't feel grief, weapons don't feel grief. virion the person sort of died when his family did, right, and all he has left is being a thing that is very very very good at hurting people. and this took so fucking long to even begin to unravel around the wards & he's still real bad at being a person, it's one of the reasons why he & post-muse ashe click so well. which is to say that yeah xavier knows this, because he knows how virion is out of costume too, and he knows just how nasty & personal of a fucking blow it is!!! (also relevant that virion very much does see himself as a leashed dog.) & also it's like... wibby who has an entire notebook on what virion likes and doesn't like and the way his brain works, because virion himself doesn't know or ever think abt it. wibby who knows v better than he knows himself. wibby who figures out what kind of stuffed animals he likes & leaves his hoodies in his room so he has something that's not just plain unbranded black sweatshirt + cargo pants. wibby who pushes more than he should and breaks stuff about it because he just. wants to know who virion is, where he came from, what all the stuff he'll never talk about is. wibby who just lets him be quiet and tired and fragile instead of always being a weapon. and of course who is already going on hour long staring at the wall spirals over if he's a genuinely horrible person for being good at wrangling people. if he's secretly manipulative and vile and awful like his brother because of whatever fucking thing makes people want to trust him like that. yeah dude. thats your fucking dog. smiles!!!!!!!!!!

🐟 - HI ITS MAC. GOD. I don't have anything to add here other than I've also been yelling and screaming etc etc over this. and I just like to be included ^_^ but godddddd. hello post-greyscale world. you kill me. having a lot of feelings about situations in which william is treated like a leader when he doesn't want to be. he never asked for this! but his actions have consequences! deal with it bitch!

[fuck-customers]

I hope management knows that asking me to go do extra stuff that requires walking around on my bum hip when it’s a victory for me to stand for more then an hour before needing to sit down is not any less of an asshole move then Passive aggressively handing me a note that says “If you have time to lean you have time to clean.”

Did- did my words actually inflict damage upon you- huh. Apologies.

Besides that point, if they really are, either you have a bad connection- which I severely doubt, or you are indeed having the information hidden from you.

Oh, whatever. You seem nice and at least somewhat competent, so I’ll tell you my name. I’m Taen. Admin of Perfection.

Apparently it's because of this think known as a spoiler filter? They can cause headaches if the people dealing with it try to bypass the filter, even unintentional...

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RO-... PERMAFROST. IS JUST. OVERALL BEING HIDDEN FROM ME.

IF THE INFORMATION IS DEEMED 'TOO MUCH' BY WHATEVER FORCE THAT IS KEEPING IT FROM ME. IT ATTEMPTS TO SHUT ME DOWN.

WHICH. YOU CAN IMAGINE. HURTS.

AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO HAVE A BAD CONNECTION. I AM MY OWN ROUTER. DON'T ASK.

ANYWAYS. BETTER TO HAVE A NAME TO PUT TO YOUR POSTS. TAEN.

.... WAIT THAT ASK THAT WAS SENT EARLIER WAS REFERRING TO YOU???

Let's get some admin out of the way:

Hi! I'm Robed, call me literally anything that starts with Ro- and I'll probably understand what you mean (he/him).

As indicated by the definitely short description, I write, game, and history (that's a verb, trust me); don't expect anything consistent from me (that goes for most things like genres or post schedules, just know I'll be sticking around!)

I generally stick to a singular rule that I base about 67% of my decisions on -- "...my first rule of everything...is don't be a knob" - Gary Brannan on Citation Needed

(what else do people write here)

As per the United States Constitution, if I need to amend any statements or add any comments, I'll update them here! And... I think that's all. So..., nice meeting any readers, and I'll see you on the Internet!

Anonymous asked: I so much loved reading the english translation of ELOD- The Pillow Book and the TMOPB story. Is there ANY Chance at all to get the english translation of "Step Lotus" and "The Bodhi Fate"? They are published in Chinese but I could find no trace of an English translation by now. My inner "monk" (series Adrian.Monk, a traumatized obsessive american TV detective) is all upset and crying all day for not being able to read on Tang Qi's delicious style of writing.

Hey! I'm so sorry to say this but besides what's linked in our pinned post and the bits and pieces Admin Ro wants to do, there's no English translation for Lotus Step. It's not even finished publishing yet (we're at vol. 3 of 4 volumes) if you've at all gone through our blog, and Bodhi Fate hasn't even been written yet.

Hopefully you can find asian fantasy novels to fulfill your desire to read similar genre, be it translated works or western published Asian authors.

Recommendations I can give for Western published authors I've either read or a few I want to read -

Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

Have not read this as of yet but I have full intentions to soon or later.

Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

Please, please look up trigger warnings for this one.

The Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

Check trigger warnings, but also this is more sci-fi than fantasy, just as a disclaimer. But still really good.

The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo

Multiple novella series, I enjoy it quite a bit.

The Poppy Wars by R.F. Kuang

Haven't read this yet but please, please check trigger warnings as this does involve more dark themes and elements, leans a bit more realistic than fantasy from what I know.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh

I've not read this but it sounds so good, I want to devour it.

Translated works:

The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus by Bai Yu Zhai Diao Gong

Admin Ro has read this; warning it is cheesy 2010s xianxia vibes. Which means it also may have tropes people do not like in it.

Anything by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang (author of The Blue Whisper, Fairy and Devil, Si Ming, etc.)

Today in Politics, Bulletin 66, 2/7/25

Ron Filipkowski

Feb 8

… DOGE staffer Edward Coristine was fired by Path Network in 2022 (a company known for hiring former hackers), for leaking confidential information to a competitor. Bloomberg is reporting that they have a letter from Path stating: “Edward has been terminated for leaking internal information to competitors. This is unacceptable and there is zero tolerance for this.”

… Bloomberg: “Several of Coristine’s online peers and former co-workers said they were surprised that the teenage friend they knew has been brought into one of the most high-profile teams in the Trump Admin. His 2022 dismissal and the circumstances surrounding it add to questions about how he arrived in this new job with Musk’s DOGE, and how he’ll handle the sensitive government information that comes with it.

… Coristine went by the online moniker “Big Balls”.

… Wired reported that “Big Balls” has founded 5 companies since he turned 16, including Tesla.Sexy LLC, a company managing multiple web domains. One of his domains hosted "Helfie," an AI bot marketed to Discord users in Russia. Always a connection to Russia with these guys.

… Sen. Ron Wyden to Bloomberg: “Giving Musk's goon squad access to systems that control payments to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other key federal programs is a national security nightmare. Every hour new disturbing details emerge to prove that these guys have no business anywhere close to sensitive information or critical networks.”

… A second DOGE staffer, Marko Elez, who was granted access to the Treasury’s “top-secret” payment system that controls social security and tax distributions, was fired yesterday by the Trump White House after they learned about a series of racist statements he made online recently, which were reported by the WSJ. Some of these statements:

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.”

“Normalize Indian hate.”

“Just for the record, I was a racist before it was cool.”

“I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.”

… But after the firing was announced by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Emperor Elon Musk started an online campaign to get Elez hired back. He said that poor Elez may have made “inappropriate statements” but he’s just a kid, and posted a poll on X asking that he be brought back.

… JD Vance then chimed in, saying he thought the DOGE racist that his own Admin just fired should be rehired: “Here’s my view: I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever. So I say bring him back. If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of the team, fire him for that.”

… Elez is 25 years old.

… So basically since a journalist was the one who revealed that his guy is a racist piece of shit, Vance says he has to be hired back at the highest levels of government because they can’t let the media win.

… Rep. Ro Khannna to Vance: “Are you going to tell him to apologize for saying ‘Normalize Indian hate’ before this rehire? Just asking for the sake of both of our kids.”

… Then at a joint presser with the Japanese PM, Trump was told that Vance posted online that he wanted the fired DOGE employee hired back and was asked his position: “I don’t know anything about the particulars, but if the VP said that, lets bring him back.”

… Musk then announced on X that his fired racist employee was back. Back controlling whether Social Security or Medicare payments are made. And lots of other things. Comforting.

… White nationalist Andrew Torba, who is the CEO of the right-wing social media platform Gab: “We live in a culture where you can make ‘racist’ posts online and not get fired now. Deal with it. This won at the ballot box.”

… Acting DC US Attorney Ed Martin then sent another letter to Musk assuring him that he will protect his team of DOGE racists and hackers from the mean libs who are tormenting them: “We will investigate them and we will chase them to the end of the Earth to hold them accountable. We will not rest or cease in this. Noone is above the law. I am proud that we have been able to assist local law enforcement in protecting the DOGE workers.”

‘Noone’ is not my typo. That’s how the US Attorney wrote it in his letter.

… WaPo reports that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is appointing a third Musk DOGE member, Tom Krause, to a senior position in the department overseeing the nation’s payment systems. Once again, this was not announced to the public and was told to WaPo by inside sources in the Treasury. They are trying to hide everything they do. Even their identities.

… Krause was previously instructed by Musk to order career non-partisan Acting Secretary David Lebryk to cut off payments to USAID. When Lebryk refused because there was no legal authority, he was then forced to resign. Now Krause has Lebryk’s former position. Krause, and by proxy Musk, will now have control over the Treasury system responsible for disbursing more than $5 trillion in annual payments, including for Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds and thousands of other things.

… Fox Contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier: “I have colleagues who are really upset right now. They are concerned that funding for the research that they are doing is going to be cut off. We do a lot of valuable research in the cancer community. I can empathize with these Democrats right now. Change is hard, but it’s for the greater good.”

… Trump was asked if he had any reaction to the new Time cover which showed Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. Trump looked visibly agitated. Then said: “No. Is Time magazine still in business? I didn't even know that.”

… He knows it very well, because Trump just praised Time in December, saying it was “a great honor” to be on their cover as Man of the Year.

… Trump continued to get questions about Elon Musk, and continued to get more annoyed: “Is there anything you've told Elon Musk he cannot touch?” Trump: “Well, we haven't discussed that much.”

When it starts to sink in that a big chunk of the American public thinks Musk is really in charge and he is just a doddering old fool, there will be hell to pay. He’s fighting it right now, but the more it keeps getting brought up to him the better.

… Then the next reporter: “Will you put Elon Musk up on the podium for us to ask him some questions? Trump, now fuming that these questions are not about him: “Sure. He's not shy. Elon is not shy.”

… Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba was obviously given a very accurate briefing about how to handle Trump to get whatever you want out of the US. He opened up their joint press conference today with this: “I was so excited to see someone who is such a celebrity on TV, to see him in person. On TV, he is frightening and he has a very strong personality. But when I met with him, he was very sincere and very powerful and with a strong will for the US.”

… The guy laid it on pretty thick, but Trump didn’t seem to mind.

… Ellen Weintraub, Chair of the Federal Election Commission, is refusing to leave her position despite being fired by Trump: “Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair. There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners — this isn’t it.” Weintraub was appointed to a six-year term in 2002.

… Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY): “This onslaught against the FEC, when that agency is currently reviewing complaints against the President, reeks of corruption.”

… Bloomberg: “6 commissioners run the FEC, with no more than 3 from a single party allowed to serve at one time. Weintraub, a Democrat, voted to investigate the president over allegations involving violation of rules barring coordination between his campaign and allied Super PACs and matters regarding accusations that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.”

… NBC is reporting that Casey DeSantis is now seriously considering running for Governor of FL in 2026. One source: “I have heard donors have been urging her to run, and while it’s not something she has wanted to do, they are causing her to at least stop and listen.” Another source: “It is a real possibility.”

… Casey last May: “When people talk about me running for governor, I think it speaks highly about the governor himself. I think when people see me, it is because they are so happy about everything that this governor has done for the state of Florida. When people start talking about ‘Oh, you know, you should run,’ that’s because Gov. DeSantis is a rock star and that’s because people are so proud of everything that he’s done for this state.”

… I packed up, left FL, and moved to Maine. But maybe everyone else is happy.

… The Hill reports that Justice Sotomayor just gave her first public remarks since the election at an event in KY: “If we as a court go so much further ahead of people, our legitimacy is going to be questioned. I think the immunity case is one of those situations. I don’t think that Americans have accepted that anyone should be above the law in America. Our equality as people was the foundation of our society and of our constitution. I think my court would probably gather more public support if it went a little more slowly in undoing precedent.”

… Andrew Cuomo is leading substantially in the latest Emerson College/PIX11/The Hill poll for NYC Mayor at 33%. Eric Adams is second with 10% percent, and former City Comptroller Scott Stringer - 8%. Cuomo hasn’t formally announced he is running, but he is expected to soon.

… Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded to Trump’s statement about Gaza and his threat to “obliterate” Iran if they try to assassinate him: "The Americans sit, redrawing the map of the world — but only on paper, as it has no basis in reality. They make statements about us, express opinions and issue threats. If they threaten us, we will threaten them in return. If they act on their threats, we will act on ours. If they violate the security of our nation, we will, without a doubt, respond in kind."

… Harris County (TX) DA just arrested Andrew Taake for an outstanding warrant for online solicitation of sex with a minor. Taaka was incarcerated for unrelated crimes he committed on J6, but when Trump pardoned him he was released from prison despite the active warrant. “Before Taake’s release from custody, a member of our HCSO Fugitive Warrants Div requested that fed authorities hold him, due to his pending warrant in Harris County. The Bureau of Prisons informed HCDAO they needed a certified warrant to prevent Taake’s release. A clerk faxed a copy of that warrant on 1/15/25, but Taake was released 5 days later, in accordance with President Trump’s Pardon order.”

… But they just tracked him down and got him. All the best people.

… Reporter Roger Sollenberger: “Trump nominee Kash Patel disclosed he’s receiving $1-5 million in shares of a Cayman Islands holding company directly tied to a Chinese corporation the Senate and a pro-Trump nonprofit accuse of ‘slave labor.’ Patel says he won’t divest. Patel’s disclosure says that his shares in the company—Elite Depot Ltd—would begin vesting Feb. 1, two days after his Senate confirmation hearing, will continue to vest through November, and that he won't back out.”

… But wait, there’s more: “But Patel appears to have lied about or misrepresented the company on his disclosure, claiming under penalty of perjury it was a ‘fashion management company.’ But it filed as an ‘equity holding company’ in the Cayman Islands. Equity in what, you ask? Patel got millions in equity from this company as payment for being a ‘consultant,’ according to his financial disclosure. Not salary, and apparently no retainer. For doing just 8 months of work. We have no idea what he did.”

… Sen. Chris Murphy: “So, the incoming FBI Director worked for 8 months as a fashion consultant to a shadowy Cayman holding company connected to a Chinese Communist Party slave labor manufacturer and he gets up to $5m in fees (for 8 months of work! wow!) that only vest after his nomination. WTF.”

… Fox is reporting tonight that Democrats on House Appropriations Committee have sent a letter to SecDef Hegseth asking him why he has just requested $137,297 for home repairs/paint for a government residence, especially since DOGE is cutting spending across the entire government.

… Trump added WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson to his USAID conspiracies, while calling for him to be fired: “Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post is INCOMPETENT! So sad to see him trying to justify the waste, fraud, and corruption at USAID with his pathetic Radical Left SPIN. He should be fired immediately!!!”

… Fox reported the back story behind 30 Democratic Representatives going down to the Dept of Education Building today. Wednesday night, 96 members of Congress wrote a letter to Acting Education Secretary Denise Carter requesting a meeting. They were ignored. So members showed up today and tried to go inside the building, but they locked the doors.

… Republicans in the House and Senate continue to fight with each other over budget negotiations. The Senate has released Lindsey Graham’s bill, which packages some of Republicans’ biggest immediate priorities like funding for deportations. But the House and Mike Johnson continue to ask for more time so Trump’s entire agenda can be put in one huge package.

… Senate Majority Leader John Thune said they are ready to go and aren’t waiting for Weak Mike Johnson to get his children in line: “The American people gave President Trump a mandate to deliver on his key priorities: securing the border, rebuilding our defense, and unleashing American energy. The time to act is now, and Senate Republicans are ready to roll.”

… Despite the fact that the Senate is ready, Johnson told Fox he still isn’t: “There won’t be any details announced until the end of the weekend. Possibly not until Monday.”

… Bloomberg reports that AG Pam Bondi has dismantled the DOJ's foreign bribery unit’s ability to investigate and monitor foreign interference in our elections. The unit is now only able to investigate cases involving drugs or trafficking under Bondi’s new directive.

… Bradley Hope reports that Bondi also just eliminated DOJ’s Kleptocracy Initiative, which seized Russian oligarchs' yachts, planes and real estate pursuant to sanctions. Hope: “The units recovered billions in stolen assets since 2010. But here's the real story: Sources say a key objective is gaining control of a multi-billion dollar forfeiture fund - money seized from corrupt officials that was meant to be returned to victim countries. Where's that money headed? Bondi's memo cryptically mentions ‘other law enforcement purposes.’ Multiple sources say this means funding new detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay and Texas.

… Former DOJ national security prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky told Bloomberg: “Taken together, these changes are an invitation to foreign actors to interfere in American affairs. Even worse, it’s an invitation to Americans to help them do it.”

… A very reliable Univ of Michigan consumer sentiment survey shows inflation expectations from consumers is spiking since last month because of Trump’s tariff threats: "About one-third of consumers spontaneously mentioned tariffs, up from 27% last month and less than 2% prior to the election. This is only the 5th time in 14 years we have seen such a large one-month rise in year ahead inflation expectations."

… Essentially conceding the lawsuits filed by FBI employees, at least for now, DOJ has agreed not to release the list of names of FBI agents to the public who were involved in J6 investigations. Their agreement states that if they decide to release it, they must give two days' advanced notice so the agents can return to court to contest it before it goes out.

… Trump was asked today about his plan for the US to take Gaza: “It’s been very well received. Basically the United States would view it as a real estate transaction.”

… Meanwhile, Trump said he is interested in getting his hands on Ukraine’s commodities in exchange for further aid: "One of the things we're looking at with President Zelenskyy is having the security of their assets. They have assets underground. Rare early and other things. But primarily rare earth. Really, we want security, because as you know, Europe is putting up much less money than us."

… That is Elon Musk talking. Trump is speaking, but he’s saying what Musk wants.

… Marge Greene said on the 'Politically Georgia' podcast that she is thinking about making a run either for Governor of GA or for Senate against Jon Ossoff in 2026: “Of course I’m considering all possibilities. No decisions have been made, but I would be telling a lie if I didn’t say I wasn’t considering it.”

… NPR in SF reports that the FCC is now investigating local SF station KCBS for its coverage of recent ICE raids. Deportation Czar Tom Homan has accused them of intentionally “tipping off” migrants on when their agents are in the area for an operation.

… Trump-appointed FCC Chair Brendan Carr told Fox said he opened the investigation after KCBS shared the live locations and vehicle descriptions of immigration officials: “We have sent a letter of inquiry, a formal investigation into that matter, and they have just a matter of days left to respond to that inquiry and explain how this could possibly be consistent with their public interest obligations.”

… David Loy, Legal Director for the First Amendment Coalition, told NPR: “Law enforcement operations, immigration or otherwise, are matters of public interest. People generally have the right to report this on social media and in print and so on. So it’s very troubling because it’s possible the FCC is potentially being weaponized to crack down on reporting that the administration simply just doesn’t like.”

… Loy said it thinks this is being done to deter other news organizations from reporting anything critical about the Trump Admin: “It’s an intimidating exercise. The process is the punishment. Even if charges are never filed, people have to look over their shoulder to wonder, is the government going to come after me because I report something that the government doesn’t like me to say?”

… What is also happening here is that both Tom Homan and Donald Trump promised deportation numbers would be exponentially higher than they have been so far. A lot of ICE raids they set up for photo ops, where they expected to round up big numbers of people, didn’t pan out and they looked like fools. So they continue to blame local officials and media.

…Sen. John Kennedy was asked on Fox about his push to add a work requirement for Medicaid recipients: “For some people, the best way to get back on your feet is to get off your ass.”

… Rep. Mike Lawler joked about her fellow Republican Nancy Mace: “Nancy Mace has gone so far off the deep end she makes Marjorie Greene look like Susan Collins.”

… Mace wasn’t amused: “Thanks, Mike. You are totally clueless when it comes to women’s issues. Clueless.”

… Trump announced that he is bringing back plastic straws: “I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!”

… This is something very personal to him. He would be lost without his straws. Don’t tell Fox host Jesse Watters, though. He says only Beta males use straws.

… Trump announced that Paula White-Cain will lead his new White House Faith Office, White-Cain is a member of the New Apostolic Reformation movement, which seeks to overthrow the U.S. government and replace it with a Christian theocracy led by so-called "apostolic pastors."

… She often speaks in tongues while on stage. It actually freaks me out a little when she gets on a roll.

… White-Cain has repeatedly said Trump was chosen by God. In a speech on J6, 2021 in DC, she said, "Let every demonic network that is aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus."

… New Apostolic Reformation leaders view Trump as an agent of chaos sent from God to disrupt American government long enough for the apostolic pastors to take over American society and create a Christian nationalist theocracy.

… Many evangelicals were not thrilled with the pick. Jon Root, a Christian activist who worked for Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA: “I’m hearing from a credible source that Trump is well aware that Paula White has been trending all day on X and that the response to him appointing her the head of the Faith Office is receiving a TON of negative backlash. Pray that Trump receives wise, Biblical counsel and does the right thing by firing and disassociating from her. False teachers should be nowhere near the WH and should never be in a highly-regarded position of advising him on matters of the Christian faith.”

… Cain is also married to Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who has been in a legal dispute with guitarist Neil Schon for years over Paula gaining access to the band’s bank account and finances, and for Cain performing the band’s music at Mar-a-Lago. Schon is not a fan of Trump.

… This was a letter from Schon’s attorneys to Paula in 2023: “We demand that you immediately cease and desist and refrain in the future from inserting yourself in any business of the band and any legal entities used by the band as this contradicts the existing agreement between Mr. Schon and Mr. Cain.”

boosting this as a crow of many years because despite my post, I don’t want people to think I don’t want phil involved on the realm whatsoever

the frustration, for me, comes from the fact that phil normally loves lore - we’ve seen him engage with sneeg and ros with everything going on between them and owen, and he’s clearly passionate about it and supportive of the roles they all played. it does however come across as weird that he’s being rude toward the admin-based lore of all things. it’s definitely just coincidence (the eye being a reminder of purgatory, the snails being a reminder of qsmp, the crying obsidian corruption being a reminder of dsmp), but it’s still really unfortunate to see him engage with it so negatively.

it also doesn’t feel like him being “lore-avoidant” either. I see a lot of crows saying that “phil has to be dragged into lore kicking and screaming” but really, that isn’t applicable here. there are plenty of reasons he could be dragged into lore, but he so firmly nopes out of the situation to the point of BM - stating he’ll refuse to log on if he gets a snail, breaking the obsidian even when the admins were clearly trying to put it back, and insisting he won’t be doing lore yet still engaging with it. that’s not being lore-avoidant, that’s just BM.

but look. like prev said, it isn’t our business to solve. if anybody has any real issues within the realm discord server, they can talk about it there. if this is how phil wants to have fun on the server, then whatever. I just won’t watch his streams, simple as that.

regarding your recent reblog, as a frequent philza watcher, i didn't even make the connection that, yes, he keeps brushing off 95% of the realm's lore, all while constantly making references to previous servers he's been on in some fashion, which is certainly, uh, a choice. whether it's comparing it to stuff on the server (when, even though I understand his reaction, it'd be stupid to assume only qsmp had small npc companions or creepy eye entities in the sky), or for example, when he suggested to sneeg (mostly not serious, but still) about pretending to be o!phil in sneeg's mind while sneeg is on the realm and phil was just in a call with him. even sneeg was like "bro wants to do lore but not do lore wth"--again, he wasn't being seriously accusatory, but I still felt that because seriously!?!?

idk, he doesn't have to have his own lore on the server, most fans don't mind. just maybe, idk, don't be a dick about the lore on the server you're currently in? if you're in a server like the realm and you wanna interact with people, you gotta accept that maybe, just maybe, you're gonna play a 'character' (even if said character doesn't have lore) that interacts with some server lore and just play off of what happens; that's kind of a given in a server like this?? trying to ignore it all is both nearly impossible and just going to make you come across like a dick.

sorry about the wall of text. my feelings on this have been building up the past few weeks. i love my streamer but realm streams have been unbearable. and i really really hope that changes soon.

While I cant speak on his streams, nor can I give an indepth analysis of his actions I feel validated hearing that a lot of Phil viewers are sharing my feelings. I don't hate streamer and enjoy his content and his interactions with my streamer(s), but it's a little disheartening? Frustrating? To hear all of the hard work people are putting in be brushed off with a simple "I ain't doing that shit" and the like.

I don't even want him to play a character, truly I couldn't give less of a fuck what streamer does as I don't watch him. What I, and seemingly a lot of other people, want is for him to stop unkindly dismissing the work people are putting in to make a fun story. I get being burnt out from it, I get not wanting to engage! I'm happy he's setting boundaries about what he does and does not want to do.

I even think it's okay to reference other servers/lore, and even I think it's okay to compare them critically as critical comparison and criticism (how many times can i say a word with "crit" in it) are healthy and necessary to make a server flow properly, but not so much when it comes to people's story telling and the thing that they are ultimately having fun doing!

In the end my opinion doesn't really matter, and I prefer not to be engaged in drama I have no real standing in. But I sympathize with you! I'm a firm believer that if anyone in the server cc wise has an actual issue with it that it will be handled privately and that's all I really care about ^^
