Nathaniel, are we going to talk about you giving me so many evil boops on April Fools day, and then telling me you were sorry and wanted to be brothers again, only to turn around and say April Fools? I’m truly sorry for what I did, but I also feel like you’re being a little petty.

Sounds like someone can’t take a joke. 🙄

I was tagged by @phtalogreenpoison. Thank you for your questions.

I am currently reading my own book on Happiness, which is my favorite piece of literature.

My favorite color is blue, as I find it has a wonderful calming effect. 🫐🌊💙

The last song I listened to was "Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks. It's a wonderful song for dancing.🕺🏻🎶

The last movie or tv show I watched was a talk show episode featuring myself.

When it comes to food, I prefer a balance of sweet, spicy, and savory that is appealing to the palate.

I am currently working on expanding my happiness revolution across the globe, so that all may experience the benefits of my work. 🌎

I would love to invite anyone who has not completed this ask game to consider this an invitation to do so.

ask game!! thank you @hangrybluewhale for tagging me <3 this was fun!

currently reading: I'm also in a bit of a reading-for-fun slump right now. I want to do a full series reread of mbs again (audience gasps) I know, shocker. I'm also reading a really cool book called "Boston Marriages," it's about romantic yet nonsexual friendships among women throughout history! it's really neat :D

favorite color: still purple, but I've recently been reminded of how much I love mint green and tangerine

last song: Edge of Midnight by Miley Cyrus and Stevie Nicks

last movie: I literally could not tell you if I tried. probably Megamind

sweet, spicy, or savory: I love spice but I have a raging sweet tooth. actually I'm picking all of them

currently working on: another puzzle (a sloth and some butterflies <3), updating the collage on my bulletin board in my room (I put a bunch of art and poems and tickets there and it needs a refresh), and also more mbs fanfics (in theory! kjdfghfjd)

no pressure tags! I know most of y'all have done this game many times before but why not it's a lot of fun: @mysteriouseggsbenedict @acollectionofcuriousreblogs @sophieswundergarten @oflightningandstars @amysterywrappedinanenigma @nobody33333333 @phtalogreenpoison @heyitsthatonesmolgay @deeskip @ae-jurumi @crow-in-springtime and anyone else that wants to! open invitation :D

turn on your boops coward

Sorry to leave you on read. I haven’t been checking this account. Consider this your boop! 👻

[ldcurtain]

just based in your recent reblogs…you alright?

Thank you for your concern. But I assure you, I’m not sad. I’m completely fine.

Show us the Institute song

What a lovely request. The Institute’s school song is meant to inspire the children and encourage them to strive for greatness. Here are the lyrics to the Institute's school song, which we play before every tetherball game, pep rally, and school assembly:

We pledge allegiance to the Institute,

A school so strong and true!

Our beloved messengers and executives,

Are heroes through and through!

We should be glad to count ourselves among them,

And march towards victory.

Our message spread throughout the world,

Across all land and sea.

We are the bringers of knowledge,

Of what is right and good.

We’ll ensure our new order

Is thoroughly understood.

We love you our dear Institute,

A school so good and true!

In her name we fight, with all our might,

The weak crushed by her shoe!

Should our enemies stand against us,

We’ll kill those rotten germs.

They destroy everything they touch,

Like vile poison worms!

But these fools don’t stand a chance,

They will surely feel our pain.

Their petty attempts to stop us,

Will only be in vain.

We pledge allegiance to Dr. Curtain,

Our fearless leader and friend.

His brilliance will protect us,

And guide us to the end.

It is a privilege to enjoy the Whisperer,

Dr. Curtain’s great device.

He carries the burden of greatness,

An endless sacrifice!

Dr. Curtain will show us how to LIVE,

For he knows what is best.

He is the MASTER of the world,

And shines above the rest!

I pledge my undying loyalty,

To Dr. Curtain and his cause.

It is for my own benefit,

To hear and obey his laws.

Dr. Curtain is a genius,

Who I shall never doubt.

His generosity I will praise,

His whisperers I will shout!

Together under Dr. Curtain,

A brighter world we stand!

Brothers who break promises,

Have no place in the new land.

I pledge my life to Dr. Curtain,

I will answer the call.

All across our battlefields,

His enemies will fall!

I will destroy the traitors,

Rid the world of their disease.

Dr. Curtain’s noble mission

Is my true destiny.

We will conquer the world with our wisdom,

And we will never fail!

For we know for certain,

When we stand with Dr. Curtain,

We forever shall prevail!

Hi Nathaniel. I saw your executive application, and thought I'd apply.

In answer to your initial questions: my name is Nicholas Benedict, my favorite color is green, the last book I read was Ivanhoe, my favorite season is spring, and my favorite subject in school is English. But you know most of that already.

Finally, my greatest fear is that I've lost you forever. That... that you, the real you, is lost forever because of my mistakes. But Nathaniel, I swear that I will pledge my undying loyalty to you if you just stop trying to take over this fandom, let me be your brother again, and please let my nephew unblock me. I just want to be a family again. 🥺

Application denied.

[ldcurtain]

Excuse me, sir, I hate to bother you, but I wanted to ask you about something. Am I the only person who applied for the position of your trusted executive?

Sorry, sir, just got a bit light-headed for a moment there. As it was, I wanted to ask you about...huh. I can't remember what I wanted to ask you. Maybe it was one of my fears. Was it...not the spiders...not being without instruction...not that either... Oh well, it probably didn't matter anyways. I'm sorry to have disturbed you, sir.

No need to apologize. Just walk it off, you’ll be fine.

Hello Dr. Curtain. I saw you made a poll to determine which of your staff deserves an employee of the month award, and I was quite surprised to notice that @jeffers-headofsecurity was not included. The MBS Tumblr fandom has a weekly holiday to honor him and his accomplishments. Perhaps you ought to consider adding him to the poll.

SEND ANONYMOUSLY

Jeffers get back to work. And don’t submit anything to my ask box ever again.

[ldcurtain]

Nathaniel. Please allow your son to unblock me.

Absolutely not. Especially not after that stunt you pulled: having @reynardmuldoonperumal trick him into a friendship just so he could manipulate him? That was a low blow, even for you. Haven’t you hurt our family enough Nicholas?

[ldcurtain]

I got you a glitter gel pen to write all of your genius plans with

This is excellent. Thank you for your service. A much better gift than @reynard-muldoon-perumal’s ribbon book marks.

[ldcurtain]

I especially liked the line, "his whispers I will shout"

Thank you. It’s nice to see appreciation for my creative talents.

For those curious, here is a link to the Official Institute School Song.

[ldcurtain]

Hello! I apologize for potentially taking up too much of your time, but I have a rather strange request to make. I've been experiencing for quite some time now something which I was inspired to call 'Curtain Visions. In my dreams, I talk quite often to you, or a version of you. While I'm uncertain about the psychological implications of this, I wanted to share a specific encounter from Friday night. During our conversation, Vision Curtain was writing in his diary when he suddenly asked me to select a number between 42 and 27. After I responded, he changed his multicolored pen to red and scribbled aggressively in his diary. However, he then smiled and provided me with the number that was the opposite of what I had chosen. I decided I was way to tired to question him, so I cannot provide additional context on what he were doing. Nonetheless, before we ended our conversation, Vision Curtain instructed me to 'Ask Curtain. He will agree.’

I still have no clue what he was talking about, and I am unsure if I have correctly interpreted his request, but the only thing I could think of was to ask you. So, if you could just humor me..

42 or 27?

A fascinating question, and one of the better messages I've received today.

I too am uncertain of the psychological implications of your dreams. However, the numbers your subconscious has unearthed are interesting ones.

42 is the sum of the first six positive even numbers. (2+4+6+8+10+12=42). It is also the sum of all dots on a set of dice.

27 is 3^3. It is also the atomic number of cobalt, and the number of bones in the human hand.

It's a difficult choice, but I'd go with the number 27, as dark matter is thought to make up 27% of the universe, and such concepts always fascinated me as a boy. I was particularly invested in the idea of discovering the unknown truths of the universe.

[ldcurtain]

Should I give you a clicky glitter gel pen to write journal entries with I think it would be iconic

I very much appreciate the gift. My son (a very talented artist) has gotten me a variety of gel pens (of the finest quality) over the years. It's always an excellent present and helps me color code and organize my thoughts when journaling.

[ldcurtain]

this may sound rude but maybe you should give less parenting advice.

It is extremely rude. If you’re not interested in my wonderful advice, then you certainly don’t have to listen to it.

★ put this star into the inbox of your favorite blogs. It's time to spread positivity ✨🫶

Why thank you Ember. It’s nice to see that some people recognize how brilliant and amazing my blog really is. I have so much wisdom to offer, and all I want is to benefit the lives of everyone who sees me on their dash.

• Kaslyn.

• Red.

• Fahrenheit 451

• Winter.

• Debate.

• Rejection.

Hm. Excellent answers. However, to fully accept you, I will need a slightly stronger statement of rejection. Something to show me that you do reject and are disgusted by the lies and foolishness of @mr-nicholas-benedict, @milligan-wetherall, (and most recently @not-milligan-wetherall) and pledge your undying loyalty to me and my cause?

If you are able to provide this, your application will be accepted.
