Adventurefriends 2 and Archive E-189-L making me insane tn.

The auto-mecha-detection-cube made to react to "intangible inexplicable unknown forces" and "extra-reality entities" originally going off in response to the hero. The cube having coffee spilled into it making it stop registering the hero. The hero drinking coffee, then having a seizure and dreaming of the galaxy exploding- the events just prior to the Reset. Like coffee is the way to register the change in the universe.

The fact that the hero's essence was incompatible with lock and key, that they're registered as an anomaly by Aequillibria, that their mana levels can't be read by manaphages (remnants of shadowscythe tech).

Sk'aar needing to 'consume certain aspects' of the dream world in order to wrest control of it from "its current master", that being the hero. People being the most complex and therefore best to consume- the best route to eventually consuming the hero themself.

"And you, [Hero]. I know you. I know all about you. I know what even you don't know about you. I know this world, this dream of yours, and I know your world. Memories and mana eternally flowing. Information just out of reach of visibility. Now I have you. You have me. And we will unleash that which slumbers-"

The fact that Sk'aar was held off by coueage and stories- by memories, memories of friendship and camaraderie specifically. That it is described as relishing in the Hero's despair, that it can "turn the dream into a nightmare", wielding fear... and being defeated by hope. Just the same way that the Shadowscythe nanovirus was defeated- hope from the presence of a trusted friend and leader.

The fact that Lock and Key are storage units, charged with storing information from before the Reset, as well as something they couldn't contain- something that should have corrupted them. They instead "woke" after reaching symbiosis with that thing- that they can now act, but still have to do so working around their protocols. The fact that they are "a pair among many".

The fact that Aequillibria is clearly a computer system too... and "virus" has a meaning for computers just as much as for biology.

everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing

Booping but like a mutual /Cat Distribution System/ kind of situationship 👀🐾

Odd, somewhat cat shaped abominations found and bonded with each other (!), general populace breathes sigh of relief

I love them so much, fate-assigned distribution has nothing to do with the unwell shit they did to get each other 💜

The thing about living past your 20s is sometimes you wake up and your whole everything hurts, for no discernable reason.

Possible reasons for today's pain include:

It's cold

Didn't move around enough in my sleep

Moved around too much in my sleep

Astrology?

Wore new shoes for 45 minutes yesterday

Body's haunted

General Januaryishness

"You can pirate non 5e rulebooks" Ok and what about my comment expressing frustration about being told to switch from 5e over and over again when I just want to have fun playing the game I understand made you think that I didn't know this? You think I have a hard drive full of RPG rulebooks and I don't know this? Our table has a group chat for sharing Transformers TTRPG pdfs, do you think they just fell out of the sky? I said it was *easy* to pirate 5e, not that it was the only fucking option.

Dear Powerful Momentum Seymour, I have binge watched the Tumblr cringe series from 77 til current video (190) in about 1 week, and May I say:

You are now a part of my personality. You are the part of me that says "hey, y'know that totally normal thing you're about to say? Well...

Say it in a different voice!"

And now that I have the essence of your soul, it will never

Never

Escape.

Thank you for your contribution to my psyche.

in my worldbuild I’ve been making there are 3 types of Beings that are like. “sapient and sentient” I guess for lack of a better way to say it but essentially they’re all just types of creatures we could theoretically converse and share ideas with. anyways they’re humans (which are Magic now), fairies (which are basically dragons), and angels (which are more like super magical shape-shifting bone parasites) and humans are like man I’m soooo jealous of the way fairies have super strong magic or how the angels have like wings and junk but whatever we have our own magic and meanwhile the fairies and angels are maddeningly envious of human hands

The so called "unique duality of type 6 that no other type has" really isn't that special once you actually LTR. Whether a 6 is a Rebel or a Conformist they are fixated on the same thing: Faith. Finding or creating a framework that explains reality, to give them Faith that they are ready to experience reality. Not realizing that the experience is inauthentic when it is done through the lens of a mental framework, and they don't actually need a framework for everything to be alright, they already have the power to experience reality without dying.

Typing someone as a 6 because they are a rebel or a conformist is WRONG! Other types have this same duality between rebel and conformist too. It's called being a human being and facing the dilemma between doing what is right and doing what is easy. It's the dichotomy between growth and stagnancy. Every type has its own version of it. To name one example 7 has a dichotomy between being a dumb consoomer (conformist) and being a disciplined visionary (rebel). I could go on forever.

There must be the primary fixation on Faith and building intellectual belief systems to explain reality, and an intense sense of fear and lostness without this belief system solidly intact. Or else it is not a 6.

Also there's no geometric reason for any type on the enneagram other than 9 to be a unique snowflake so please just stop trying to make snowflake 6 happen. It is never going to happen.

(Specific to my fantasy setteng) Using your internal Mana creates a vacuum that ambient magic energies (from plants and rocks and wind and stuff) fight to fill, thus causing magic radiation poisoning and mutations.

(from @comicaurora (and if you see this Red, feel free to correct me)) Magical energies pooling in the body, causing a degenerative disorder such as nerve damage or muscle atrophy, but no way to channel and expel said energy, thus requiring regular treatments to drain the magic and treat the corruption. Or some rad tats to artificially open a channel and drain the energies yourself

What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?
