Those of you following me may be aware that I’m trying to draw every room/area in Undertale for the 10th anniversary.

You know, just for fun, since I like this game a lot and have liked it since I was like. 10. and i’ve done a lot of art for it and putting it all together like this is a fun way to showcase both how insane about this game i am and how far i’ve come as an artist since i first got into it.

Well, I’ve finished the Ruins and this is my cry for help because i have No fucking clue how to format this. current iteration is a 1fps slideshow made in flipaclip which is… arguably watchable i guess but like. there has to be a better way. surely.

Psychological Warfare of the Malayan Emergency by Herbert A. Friedman (Ret.)

Have you ever been taught a version of history at school that seems weirdly simplistic? And then years later, you find more evidence that shows the whole affair was a giant, complicated mess?

Guess what I learned over the past few months about the Malayan Emergency.

For context, the Malayan Emergency was a conflict that raged in the British colony of Malaya from 1948 until the 1960s between communist forces and the British government, later continued by the independent Malayan government. The government forces won, but any school teachings of the conflict was presented in a manner that simplified the complex (and often, grey) nature of the Emergency.

I knew since then that a lot of truths were hidden away, but I didn't realize that there was a psychological aspect to the Emergency until I stumbled upon this webpage by a retired military officer about it. Given the length of the information provided and that it's the only one of it's kind — and therefore at risk of information loss if deleted, I sought to bookbind it. Pictures and all.

Given the amount of information contained and the sheer number of images, this project took about a month!

I had to divide the continuous stream of information in the webpage into readable chapters.

Then, I had to layout the images with the text, which was actually harder than expected — the size of the image could shift relevant text into the following pages, so it was a process of balancing image size to textual placement.

In-between that was the regular work of typesetting, but also of formatting quotes and examples, of which there were a lot.

And then there were pages that required special attention. For example, these pages:

The pages on the right was relatively simple — a double-sided leaflet that could be showcased in a double-page spread, with contextual information in the following pages.

On the left however, to create the list of dead / living people, I had to finagle a table in Microsoft Word and constantly adjust the cell size to make the long names and positions fit. The whole endeavor was an exercise in patience.

Leafing through the pages, there are some parts I am annoyed with, such as pictures on the right page with their annotated message in the following left page. But as it is, I'm just glad this is done.

Special thanks to SGM Herbert A. Friedman (Ret.) for compiling this information that astonished me to create this bookbind.

[loveletterworm]

This was something like the vision i had for My Utopian Ideal Of Playlist Website btw:

Plays music through youtube and soundcloud or something so it wouldn't have to host things (other than images, I guess...) , I think Universal Music Group doesn't let you play songs from youtube in embeds or something so this would singlehandedly ruin everything. I also thought of maybe you could link externally hosted mp3s but that sounds like it could get scary, somehow. This is all irrelevant hypotheticals because I would never know how to make this anyways.

I kind of wouldn't want to deal with like a social media angle to it (The idea of "front pages" makes me shy.) so maybe it would just make like standalone pages that could be shared only through linking people to them. Like carrd but for only this specific purpose? Maybe there would be profile pages. The idea of moderating a website sounds like the scariest thing in the world though so I would never do all this

(Maybe if I wanted this to exist but not have to deal with moderating it a sort of static html generator would make more sense (and not have to deal with hosting images !), but that just doesn't seem the same...then it nerfs the audience to just people that are making websites. and in my ideal world my Utopian Playlist Website would be for the purpose of encouraging tiktok children to be better at giving video game characters music so the average neocities user is not really my entirely fictional base for my entirely fictional website.)

ANNOTATIONS!!! ON THE SONGS!!! I MISS THEM!!!!!

I made a picture

Further notes on this:

Sorry it's like very modern website ambient blur rounded corners that's just what it looked like in my head. I made the annotation too low contrast and hard to read accidentally. Maybe if this were real I would want the colors to be customizable but i do kind of mistrust people with the ability to change every color on a webpage sometimes...

I kind of wasn't sure how the actual playlist should be displayed, I initially thought of it just going down the page but then I realized it'd make more sense to keep the cover art in view so i enclosed them in a little box (also it was easier to do in a mockup drawing). Feels a little claustrophobic the way i did it though, wouldn't be that good for playlists that have a lot of songs (mine are usually around 8-14 songs long so i didn't really think of people that might genuinely just be able to make extremely long playlists)

Also in my excitement to include individual song annotations I forgot to make any space for a playlist description. Oops

None of this will ever happen. Because I am not even remotely a web developer. When I was supposed to demonstrate an ability to use javascript for the final of a web design class i took in high school i just didn't do that because i didn't understand javascript and the person reviewing the assignment was my mom and i figured she wouldn't notice. She did notice

[granulesofsand]

Do you have sources for any of the things you've been talking about lately (the different programming types, hc-did, basically all of it)? I'd really like to do some more reading on this stuff but I've found a grand total of One book and most of the rest of the stuff is social media posts with no references, or references to other social media posts :(

Our top three “sources” are usually our system, late night conversations with irl friends, and social media.

The biggest issue isn’t actually a lack of resources, but a lack of good resources. Survivors put out material before they realize they got something wrong. The clinicians that work with us are the same, and the first generation of papers were shots in the dark and fear of lies that hadn’t been exposed yet.

There’ll be a lot about a big, networked Cult, usually either the Illuminati or Luciferians. Plenty of government conspiracy theories, references to projects that sometimes do get evidence. Then there’s the regular racism and Christian lens.

If you’re looking for overviews and definitions, they got taken down here are some good websites:

https://www.ra-free.org/complexities-of-identifying-ritual-abuse - not a lot of information, lists studies and professionals

https://endritualabuse.org/full-article-index/ - lots of good articles, some really helpful, others had me cocking my head

https://www.cherylrainfield.com/articles-cult-abuse/ - more about the author than the issue, some useful links on that page

There used to be more. Two others, one about spin programming and one about colors, are still up, but a little out there. You’ll know if you see them

Some books with more details. Not good books, just books:

https://ia803208.us.archive.org/34/items/BecomingYourself.Miller/BecomingYourself.Miller.pdf - the single best thing I’ve found and I still have complaints, this version is unformatted but free

https://ia803400.us.archive.org/28/items/chainless-slaves-annotated/Chainless%20Slaves%20-%20Annotated.pdf - I didn’t like it, lots of certain language for iffy concepts, has a list of programs and alter roles

https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=89e823aedc9c69ffd8d715757c86878af27c37c9 - not a fan, also lots of funky ideas and hate-based rhetoric, has lists of programs and cues

There are lots of survivor autobiographies and outsider opinions, but I don’t have free links to those

Keep in mind that getting out of a high control group sucks ass, and most accounts (even if they claim to have healed) have the remnants of the abusive ideologies.

I still prefer hearing from other survivors what happened, and I find it easier to validate people I can easily contact. I’ll keep the webpage if I find anything I can’t just Google, but this is what I can pull right now.

It’s not great, buddy, but it’s something.

@/Nekooxi (lofter) is one of the original character artists for Identity V. They are a former senior character designer at NetEase who left the company due to personal reasons. Their art shows the original direction of this franchise, and is one of the few remains of beta IDV.

Since most people who view this account do not have a lofter account… Here is a webpage that has a collection of their work and annotations on it!

https://ngabbs.com/read.php?tid=22381471&rand=970

[folkinsomnia]

genius lyrics dot com is a disease. the annotations are so bland and ineffectual, the color scheme wounds me, and I hate that clicking on an annotation and then out of the sidebar counts as visiting two separate webpages. why am I hitting the back button twenty times to get out of this shitty website??? who designed that shit!

par exemple:

(all time low by jon bellion)

did we really need an annotation on this? do we as readers and listeners really need linked surveys and numbers quantifying something as common as masturbation among two genders just because a song mentions it?? even when it's a really goddamn straightforward line????? (and listen I love this song but there's no fucking need to explain that people masturbate and sometimes they do it when they're sad and lonely)
