[campchthonic]

Welcome to Camp Chthonic

Camp Chthonic is a new camp for any and all mythological halfbloods regardless of parentage (or even pantheon). The entrance to the underground camp is the Hidden Gem Cafe and it can move to wherever it is needed.

Camp founders Nico di Angelo and Alabaster Torrington would like to extend an invitation to your PJO OC to be a Camper or an Ambassador:

CAMPER- do you feel like you don’t really fit in at camp half blood or camp Jupiter? Would you like to stay at a camp that’s weirder, darker, and more mysterious. Then Camp Chthonic might just be the place for you. if you would like to be a camper please send a message to @campchthonic in this format (more or less)

“Camper- Name-pronouns description- how you encountered Nico/Alabaster or the Hidden Gem Cafe.”

AMBASSADOR- are you pretty set where you are but would like to meet new half-bloods and stay for maybe just a season or so? Become a Camp Chthonic Ambassador! If you’d like to be an ambassador please send a message to @campchthonic in this format more or less

“Ambassador- Name-pronouns -primary camp- description- what do you want your involvement at camp chthonic to be?”

Picture of the camp below:

As you can see there is a greenhouse for growing plants and a great hall for camp council and events. There is also a diverse range of cabins. Treehouse cabin, waterside cabin regular cabins with outdoor lighting, regular cabins with minimal outdoor lighting, and hey, a literal cave if that’s your thing. (Cabin interior pictures will be released contingent upon interest)

This is essentially meant to be a light rpg-esqe blog for people who wan to create or place an interesting character in the chthonic camp to interact with Nico , Alabaster, and others. Some details

1. Alabaster is half Indian in this (Desi Al)

2. Al and Nico founded the camp. (Backstory will be provided if there is interest)

3. Nico and Al like eachother and they are going to be the absolute last ones to figure it out so they will banter, bicker, and flirt and if you ask them about their relationship they’ll say they’re just friends, co-workers even. This is because they are trying to convince themselves more than than they are trying to convince you.

I might make into a discord server depending on interest. Please feel free to ask for any clarification or any questions!

Special credit to @thomas-life for designing the beautiful stained glass on the cafe windows.

Also please reblog and share? I worked really hard on this 🥺. Pretty pretty pleeeease?

We are missing the delicious Nicobaster angst that is the gods being displeased with the fact that Nico is making friends with Alabaster - an exiled, who’s supposed to be cut off from all kinds of support from the Camps.

They see Nico helping a traitor is an act of betrayal, too. It must be - why else would he help a former lieutenant of the Titan Army? To build a new Camp, no less? It’s a seed of a threat.

So what do they do?

Eliminate it before it blooms, of course.

[yonemurishiroku]

I vote the snakes. I like snakes.

Also. If I may suggest: All of these creatures are extremely friendly with the underworld children but would bite everyone else’s head off if they so much as set one unallowed foot in the camp. You would not want a spider on your face.

And flowers. Persephone would be very displeased if there’s nothing to honor the Queen. I vote asphodels. Asphodels are actually the underworld’s flower btw like. i think i read somewhere about the shining flowers that lead you to afterlife or st like that.

And do you know that there’re mushrooms that glow in the dark? Bc they do. It’s called ‘bioluminescent’ or some sort. Absolutely stunning.

Imagine the Chthonic Camp has this. entire hallway decorated with glowing mushrooms and tall, beautiful asphodels. Yes some are toxic. But who cares. Imma jump into it so fast yall would have whiplash.

So at the Cthonic Camp place can we agree that there are plants and animals everywhere?

Not like, daisies or tulips or anything like that, but all kinds of mushrooms and lichen growing over the walls. Pitcher plants and Venus fly traps growing through cracks in the sidewalk. Sundew plants growing in windowsills

Spiders and beetles and scavenger butterflies and flies and dragonflies and moths! Foxes and vultures and ravens and raccoons roaming all over the place. Massive black rams grazing in the fields. Owls and bats making their homes on cabin roofs. Jackals and hyenas cuddling with the demigods

Worms and snakes everywhere! And maggots crawling around certain areas (that are quickly avoided by most campers)

I just really like the idea of the ‘death camp’ being full of life that intermingles with death

Back when I was procrastinating drawing my chthonic camp AU picture I drew some Desi Al’s

Here he is being pretty:

And here’s him being dance-y

Desi Al be upon ye!

Now back to writing….

The new lord believes he won't be capable of handling everything the realm needs -and with Hades’ seeming disappearance- Persephone, Thanatos, and even the Erinyes will be there to guide him along the steps of chthonic royalty and responsibility. Royal coronation, arranged marriage, chthonic affairs, and meetings with gods from other pantheons await the young lord. However, some chthonic deities have their vengeful eyes looming over the lost little angel."

PJO AU

Ancient history professor Sally Jackson

The reason Poseidon fell in love with Sally in canon wasn’t very clear she had no connection to any of Poseidon’s domains. Where other mortal parents have some connection to the domains of the gods that carry favor with, Annabeth’s father was a professor, Piper’s father was handsome, and he was object of desire, Leo’s mother was a mechanic Frank’s mother, who was a soldier, wills mother was a musician, so why does Sally whose only connection to the ocean other is the vacation house in Montauk and she doesn’t have any connection to his Earthshaker title.

So in this AU Sally is a researcher in Mycenaean mythology and she didn’t have Percy with the Hellenic Poseidon but his Mycenaean form.

Disclaimer The Mycenaean name for Poseidon, the is not entirely clear as the Mycenaean civilization is older than then the Ancient Greece we are familiar with and not a lot of the myths survived the Bronze Age collapse. Some scholars believe that the Mycenaean name for Poseidon was "Potinues," which appears on inscriptions found at the Palace of Pylos in southern Greece. Other possible Mycenaean names for Poseidon include "Posedaon" or "Poseidaon" based on the later Greek name for the god. So I’m going to use Pontiues as that is different enough from Poseidon to be to distinguish the two.

Sally wrote her dissertation for her doctorate in history and mythology about the differences between the Hellenized Greek Gods and the older Mycenaean Gods and how the Mycenaean culture focuses mostly on chthonic gods meaning gods relating to the earth and underworld. Pontiues’ earth shaker title makes him a chthonic god and because of this Pontiues was the chief deity and king of the gods. Because Zeus is a sky god the Mycenaean mythology didn’t really view Zeus as an important god. Pontiues is still the god of the sea but he has more emphasis on his earth shaker title and lord of earthquakes. After the gods were Hellenized during the Greek dark ages where ther are little records Zeus was somehow supplanted as king of the Gods. When Pontiues was Hellenized into Poseidon he became more of an ocean god and his role of lord of earthquakes is greatly diminished.

Zeus doesn’t like to be reminded that he wasn’t always king. He forbids the gods from taking their Mycenaean forms. Pontiues naturally hates this.

When Sally publicly published her dissertation it caught the eye of Poseidon or rather Pontiues who was happy to finally have someone respect and acknowledge his time as the king of the gods.

Sally basically professionally insulted Zeus and Pontiues was immediately smitten.

Rather than meeting Sally at the beach in Montauk Pontiues attended some of Sally’s lectures at Columbia University

Pontiues is impressed by Sally’s knowledge of Mycenaean history and culture

Pontiues is even more impressed when Sally confronts him about being a god

Pontiues had Percy two months (as per canon because Rick can’t count) later and left Sally with a celestial bronze sword and instructions to pretend Percy is a son of Poseidon

This is why she delayed sending Percy to camp for so long.

Sally never really ended her relationship with Pontiues. She built a small shrine to Pontiues in her apartment (no smelly Gabe she figured out how to hide Percy’s smell by herself) and she raises Percy with full knowledge of his father’s divinity

Percy’s eyes are never calm sea green. They are perpetually raging seas.

Percy has shark teeth. Not in the literal sense but in the sense that he is always growing more teeth.

Sometimes when Percy has a strong emotion the ground shakes.

Sea creatures don’t call him lord. They call him prince Percy or when nobody else is around they call him prince of the gods. He hates it.

Percy’s personality is the same he is just freaks people out more.

Percy sensed Kronos’s aura around Luke he just didn’t think Kronos was bad. So he was still friends with Luke until Luke tried to kill him.

The first time anyone suspected that Percy might not be a Hellenistic demigod is when Percy met mr. D. When Mr. D with Percy alone for the first time something in Mr. D regresses to his Mycenaean form. Horns grow out of his head. Mr. D doesn’t mention it.

The first time Clarisse tells Percy about how the Ares cabin thinks she is weaker because she’s a girl Percy drags her to Sally who tells Clarisse about the most famous of Ares’s daughters the Amazons.

Percy knows about most of the gods because of his mother’s work. He goes to her for help when he doesn’t know what to do. Sally gives him a rundown of how the monster or quest was originally defeated in the myths. She is constantly looking for loopholes in prophecies.

Annabeth is surprised that Percy dumbass Jackson is the son of a professor.

Athena is the first god to figure out that Percy is the son of Pontiues. She finds Sally’s dissertation.

Oracle: a half blood of the elder gods…

Percy remembers the Mycenaean gods are older the Hellenized gods:

Fuck!

Whenever Percy is around a Hellenized god they get a mild headache. They didn’t notice until after the Roman and Greek demigods united because they were already getting headaches from the whole Jason and Thalia situation.

Paul doesn’t exist in this au but after the war with Gaea Sally has a newborn daughter and is regularly seen with a man who looks suspiciously like Percy

Apollo shows up at the Jackson family apartment sees the ancient king of the gods with a baby girl in his arms and decides that maybe he doesn’t need Percy’s help

[starriskiesstuff]

ok so bianca lives au!

the stress of being inside talos causes bianca to accidentally shadow travel (which explains the lack of a body)

talos is defeated, just to clarify

the quest continues on, zoe dies, and percy gets back to camp and tells nico bianca is dead

nico in this version denies it because he can feel that she isn't, but the rest of that interaction follows canon

so meanwhile bianca is in the underworld and when she figures out how to control her shadow travel she gets back to camp the day after nico leaves

unfortunately she can't do much to help find him, but she does search while also rejoining the hunters

eventually she realizes he's in the underworld, but minos leads him away before she can get there

after that it's a game of cat and mouse

nico has been convinced that he's wrong and she's dead because that serves minos' goals better

so she tries to find them, minos keeps moving away, this goes throughout the labyrinth

at the same time annabeth, percy, grover, and tyson are on their quest and have been told to keep an eye out

they see nico at the ranch and try to tell him, but he refuses to listen

after percy kills geryon, annabeth manages to send an iris message

bianca shows up, there's the reunion/explanation, nico hates percy less, and since now he has a whole reason to not trust minos, he sends minos away.

nico doesn't want to go back to camp atm, so he stays at the ranch and bianca sticks around too

then the quest continues, calypso's island happens, annabeth and percy go back in with rachel's help, etc.

bianca shows up and helps them in daedalus' workshop (nico didn't have enough control to properly return minos to the underworld so he ended up sticking with some chthonic kids from the ta)

they escape, go to camp, where nico and that immortal ares kid who's name i don't remember join them, as do the hunters

so castor doesn't die

lee still does because reasons

tlo goes more or less the same except more powerful demigods = less deaths

also hades favors bianca so she stays in the underworld freeing up nico to assist the others

plus bianca and hades, demeter, and persephone show up earlier

alabaster will probably work his way into this b/c i love him

and he is a chthonic kid so maybe...

so there you have it! bianca di angelo lives. she's also scary.

Revamped God swap AU Pt. 2

After thinking it out, I think this is the main AU I want to focus on. It isn't gonna be a full god swap AU, it's gonna be only the characters I want because I'm self indulgent like that.

Percy - Keeping Percy as a Son Of Poseidon but his family has deep connections to the Greek world way back to the ancient times, so he's also a legacy.

The two gods I decided that I wanted to give him connection to were Athena and Sol.

At first I opted for Helios but after realized that one, he's faded and that I wanted the connect to Sol to be rather strong I decided to go roman. And two (if I ever read trials of apollo lol) I could possibly have him conflict with Caligula which I think was Neo Helios. Now unlike him being a legacy of apollo, he doesn't get the things like archery or plagues, just pure sun. I think I'd want him to have a blessing sort of like Frank to always have a part of the sun with them. Some of his family members had stronger connections than others however.

Secondly, the main heritage I wanted to give him was Athena. The main reason for this is purely epic the musical related. I was listening to it and thinking about how much Odysseus reminded me of Percy and so here we are. I think I'd want him to be a first gen legacy. Sally never figured out she was a demigod until Poseidon came around and an incident happened where she found out. I feel like instead of the normal wisdom and smarts, Sally just ended up with emotional wisdom and maybe a bit of telepathic abilities.

This being said I feel like this would make Percy and Athena's relationship complicated. Athena would probably keep her distance and maybe slightly aid him sometimes from afar. She has complicated feelings. I can already imagine Athena and Poseidon fighting over him because he embodies both of their aspects surprisingly well. Poseidon with the unpredict ableness and wildness of the sea but the wisdom, knowledge, and battle strategy in a fight.

If I wanted to make this very much more canon divergent than before then maybe Athena comes to accept Percy publicly after TLO and they actually have somewhat of a relationship and then HOO happens and he's basically disowned out of nowhere and sent to follow the Mark of Athena. After he finds out about his role in the seven he's sorta pissed. The weight of the world is on his shoulders again, if he fails this means their screwed. And this time he doesn't have anyone to share the burden with, he's all by himself and has to do it all alone (which he does, and then he falls into Tartarus so uh thats gonna go well lol).

So yeah. Thats how I feel about that. I feel like its an interesting dynamic and it doesnt really change Percy that much I feel like except more angst (lol) and a new set of powers which I think I'll have fun balancing around.

Luke - Yeah, I already basically explained the Hades thing so yeah, I'm definitely keeping him as a son of Hades. But I think I can seriously use this to strengthen him and Percy's relationship to make the betrayal hit harder for him imo.

They're more chthonic gods and I feel like they're be somewhat feared, or at least Percy is. Luke was before but he just gained the trust of the camp slowly so they don't really fear him. It would just be another way they'd bond over.

Thalia and Nico - I'll be keeping these two the same respectively, just a bit more stronger probably. I think I could come up with some cool legacy heritages for them I think the only one I could really see being a legacy is Nico soo..

Annabeth - Annabeth is going to be an Apollo kid, but similar to canon she doesnt really have any useful powers. Her main weapons would be her dagger and then a bow gifted to her by Apollo that produces arrows out of light but I think thats it. She still keeps her intelligence thing because Apollo is the god of knowledge lol.

I do think like Will Solace that she'd eventually unlock plague powers, but also like Will Solace that would be a Tartarus thing because I believe they both deserve to go dark and apeshit in Tartarus so. Percy will probably have his Poison/Blood Bending and Annabeth will have her Plague Powers.

Leo - Decided midway through this post that I wanted to combine the AU of Luke just having a bunch of runaways with godswap because like why not so. Thinking of a Leo godswap is suprisingly hard. I'm personally thinking maybe Hermes but like chthonic Hermes. So like he'd have the typical Hermes abilities but could also like shadow travel. He'd still embody most of his canon traits I feel like and he'd be afraid of his chthonic abilities because of the incident with his mom but by the end he'd probably have overcome it.

Magnus - I think the idea of Magnus going to CHB surprisingly well and I've been thinking about a godswap for him because like why not. And so despite me have only read the first magnus chase book up to the point where he dies I'm thinking maybe Thor?? If you guys have any better suggestions please comment and tell me. Could have a cool arc of him and Thalia training together, some sort of Norse crossover, maybe an arc sort of like Jason's where he's just trying to figure out where he belongs. Also does anybody know if like, Norse demigods can use their powers before they die and go to Valhalla or if its like a after they die thing do they awaken them??

Last thing but I've also been considering making an oc for this. They'd be related to Percy but they wouldnt be like a sibling or like a child of Sally. They'd either be like a child of Poseidon or something or a child from maybe Sally's uncle's side which also somehow got roped into the greek world. I'm just a killer for sibling and family relationships and atleast in the original PJO series it's done SO GOOD. So if you would be interested please comment! I really like when you guys like and comment so please. If you have any ideas on this OC I want to make or maybe Magnus's godly parent I'd appreciate it so much!

[yonemurishiroku]

Indeed, the original idea stems from a post of @/gutsybitsies, and after that @haiseiscute333 - at least, the version wherein Nico and Alabaster being amongst the leaders, as there’s another fanfic about Camp Underworld that runs the same line and is pretty much older than my blog. Happy built something similar but it’s not quite a whole new camp? So we’ll leave it for another day lolol I digress. Before guts all I bad is some here and there thoughts which I failed to articulate so that doesn’t count lolol. I merely build if up from the foundation of what these two proposed before gradually growing out of it to make my own for a Nicobaster fanfic.

Purely just to solidify my “Nico is a bad, bad leader” agenda. Anywayyyyy Mother Nico sounds so cute awww totally not bc i see Nico is the mother of the Cocoa Puffs rather than a dad in TSATS Darkness really births everything as it is.

I see that both Alabaster and Nico are seen as parental figures in this, and provided that Nico is the mother, would I be right to assume Alabaster is the father? 🤣🤣🤣

Bc I have this whole thing about them acting like an old married couple and I’m not letting it go.

Also curious as where does Claymore fit in all of this. 👀 In my AU he acts like a counselor/ similar to Chiron that keep Alabaster in check, but I’d love to head yours. :3

Give it to me (alright)

I haven't done rants n stuff for a while. Give me some (can be reblogs, can be asks, I don't care). Very passionate about Anti Lore Olympus and Nico (everything with nico. Can be ships, can be Nion, can be me analyzing the fuck out of NicoBaster, I don't give a shit)

[campchthonic]

Good Questions:

is it possible to send multiple Ocs as Campers at the same time?

Yes. however, if you want your OC to get the attention they deserve, I would do one at a time. If they’re siblings or come to camp together I can make an exception but prefer no more than 2 at a time.

and in what chronology does your camp take place?

The same as most of my chronologies do post BoO but with the original prophecy at making Percy 18 instead of 16 ad with Nico entering the Lotus Casino at around 14. Meaning they are all older. But the events of the first two series occur as they did in canon.

Thanks for the questions! 💕💕

[yonemurishiroku]

A chthonic camp with Alabaster as the leader is funny tho like. Should the day comes that the camp is revealed and people are growing concerned - i mean, "an underworld camp?? and the exiled?? old enemies???" - whereas Nico's just, "Ah, I know them"

and then it turns out that the leader is his boyfriend.

everyone's belike "Nico??? Since when??? And how???"

[audreyscribes]

Thanks to ariars-art, I am now conjuring up my own Camp Half-Blood/Camp Jupiter AUs. The first of which is the fourth entry in the Fire Emblem series, Genealogy Of The Holy War. Still trying to figure out everyone’s divine ties there, though.

this took me a while to answer because it has been a hot minute since I've delved into Fire Emblem Lore, and my brain can only remember bits of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, FE: Fates, and mostly drawing information from FE: Three Houses. This also brought me in a hot minute where there were discussions in Fe:3H where people were discussing, what closest god the Crest bearers would be related to.

Like Dimitri's Crest of Blaiddyd which is also called the Grim Dragon Sign so people often attribute him being a descendant of a chthonic god (i.e. Descendant of Hades) All I can say is that without going so deep in the deep end, is that you can base everyone divine ties to what the closest tie of the 12 Dragon Gods that chose 12 Crusaders, or base it off their titles. Cause like the Dragons are basically gods so anyone related to them, doing the blodo pact or inheriting their bloodline, would be sort of their demigods and scions. Like there are 12 Major gods as an example, 12 Dragons. It'll be hard but it can be done. Out of the 12 Crusaders, Baldr is related to the God of Light so a light god related (well that's only Apollo in Greek and Roman). If not look into their powers and specialties.

[ilirramithtirne]

Landslides were a constant danger in the Tail Mountains, as were avalanches when the snows grew deeper. More than a handful of the Kalak were injured or killed in such events every year, and that was with the precautions the clan took to avoid them.

This one, though, had occurred far from where the clan was currently camped. It was merely an inconvenience as it meant a detour to the clan's migration path. This pass, now blocked, had been their most direct route down onto the steppe. Finding a new route would take time, and the clan would not be able to arrive in time for the Naadam.

Ilirra, when she learned of this, was not having it.

So, here she was, returned to her home after so long away, heavy furs draped over a nearby rock as the work provided its own sort of heat. Sweat glistened on her bare arms as she heaved rocks bigger than her torso aside, a path through the rubble slowly but surely appearing. But it was a lot for one person alone.

After a particularly stubborn rock, Illira slumped against the side of the pass, taking a drink from her waterskin. She had been pushing herself all morning after an aetherial jaunt from the other side of the Three Great Continents, and it was starting to show as she slowed. Her bondmate would probably tell her to take a break, and she smiled at the thought, but she had a deadline. At least, that's what she told herself.

And so she pushed off the wall, wiping sweat from hers eyes, as she got back to work.

The smaller rocks were tedious but manageable. Because of this, she cleared much of the detritus by hand alone. But as the day wore on, she was left with larger and larger problems she could no longer ignore. She had hoped the large rocks would be easy enough to weave around, but several weaved across the pass with no room to maneuver. Ilirra stood, studying the boulders with hands on hips, unsure of the best plan of attack.

Tools would have been ideal, but she had jumped to action without preparation, so had only come with the clothes on her back and weapon on her hip. Fingers drummed against the hilt of her aetherblade, the other hand reaching out to knock on the stone in front of her. Had it been something more porous perhaps she could have simply smashed it, but it was solid, dense, heavy.

"Nothing for it, I suppose," Illira exhaled, taking her focus on hand as it ignited into a shimmering blade of aetherial energy.

The blade hummed through the air as Illira made several swift cuts, the blade leaving behind deep furrows in the stone. That accomplished, Illira stowed her weapon, placing clawed and calloused hands inside the openings, scratching their insides to widen them. Finally, she wedged her toes into two lower cracks, hands in higher ones, and strained against the bonds that kept the boulder together with her full body.

It started with creaking, crackling, rising into a crescendo of rumbling, chthonic thunder as the stone gave away, breaking into several smaller pieces.

Ilirra flopped to the ground panting, pointed bits of gravel digging into the bare skin of her back. The narrow slit of sky above, the brilliant blue of midday, stared down at her. It would be so easy to simply give in and enjoy the warmth of the sunbaked stones and the breeze.

The Au Ra sat up, eyes scanning the remains of the landslide. No time to rest, there was work to do.

Someone tagged my jason flower painting with Hanahaki vibes and it inspired this au

In this au Jason realized his feelings for Nico after the cupid encounter which led to him denying his feelings and clinging to piper, but piper knows he’s hiding something and it hurts that he doesn’t trust her. Their break up is messy and aphrodite is vengeful when her favorite daughter gets hurt. So aphrodite cursed him with hanahaki disease.

Jason pines for Nico, but by the time he gets his shit together it’s too late. Nico is dating Will, Jason missed his chance, and he’s doing his best to avoid his feeling and ignore the chthonic flowers choking him from the inside strangling his heart. He tries moving away and throwing himself into his work for the gods and praying every night for these feeling to go away, but the minor gods can't do anything for someone cursed by an olympian

Nico becomes more worried about Jason. He notices his skin getting paler, the way he keeps clearing his throat and muffling his coughs when he thinks no one is looking, and his too wide smiles as Nico visits the infirmary. 

Whenever Nico tries to talk to him about it Jason just brushes it off like it was nothing and keeps directing the conversation somewhere else, “There’s nothing wrong, I just got something caught in my thought. So how are you liking camp so far? Are you making friends” “Nevermind that, it’s just a cold. How was you’re day? What do you think of these temple designs?” “Don’t worry about the cough, it’ll go away eventually... Are you happy here?” “You and Will are getting pretty close huh?” “No I don’t need to go to the infirmary. You don’t need to use me as an excuse to see him haha” Jason’s smile wavers as he says that. 

Then Jason suddenly leaves camp, then he stops calling Nico back, then he starts blocking his calls. If this was anyone else, Nico would think that he’s being abandoned and rejected all over again... but this is Jason and Jason would never. Jason was there for him in Croatia and saw a side of him no one else know about. Jason was the first person to wholly accept him and welcome him at camp. And no matter how much Jason tried to hide it, he was sick when he left and Nico couldn’t just do nothing as one of his best friends suffered. There are a lot of little things about his relationship with Will that bothered him, that  kept building up when they started dating (it made him miss Jason all the more), and trying to stop him from seeing Jason again was the last straw. Nico shadow-travels straight to Pasadena, but by the time he gets his shit together...

When Jason is dead or dying, Nico finds Jason's sketchbook of pressed flowers and drawings of him. Nico covers his mouth and chokes back tears

June, previously. The end of the month rundown of what was best in June: but in July. June: July. There’s plenty where June came from. Christ’s Kingdom is eternal. June (July)

Was on vacation at the end of last month and forgot to upload this June rundown. So here it is. I’m better than Pitchfork. I’ll fight everyone at Vice HQ. I unearth more underground music than The Wire and The Quietus combined. I’m the best. Down with all with music mags, sites for profit, music content subsidiaries of Old Spice, Monster Energy Beat Camp etc. Bring info exchange to the fans, build the community, Patreons for our celebrated writers, donations for our artists, down with the for-profit content factory. Long live the independent, community-oriented content factory. I’m #1.
