yeodongsaeng [Requested]
[Fluff]
A knock was heard on the door making all the members attention to drift to the door.
“Ah the new member must be here!” Sakura exclaimed.
Chaewon being the leader was the first to open the door.
At the front of the door stoood their manger with a cat-like girl who looked very shy.
“Chaewon-ah this is your new member,please introduce yourselves to her and make her feel welcomed” the manger said as the girl stepped forward.
“Don’t worry manger-nim,I’ll make her feel as welcomed as possible” chaewon said giving a warm and welcoming smile.
She shut the door behind her and placed her hand on top of the new members shoulder guiding her inside the room.
“Everyone gather up and sit in a circle” chaewon instructed and everyone obeyed.
“As you all know this is our new member,Let’s start the introduction by saying our names and birthdates” chaewon said and looked at everyone.
“I’ll start,Hi! My name is Kim chaewon born on August 1st 2000,You can call me Chae and as you may or may not notice I am the leader” she started looking at the next person.
“Hello! My name is Miyawaki Sakura born on March 19th 1998” she introduced you guessed she was the oldest,and she had a foreign name.
“Hello,my name is Huh Yunjin or you may call me Jennifer,I am Korean-American and I’m please to meet you!” She introduced in English but you were confused.
She didn’t realize and the other members started laughing.
“What’s so funny?” She confused as well.
“Yunjin I don’t think the new member understands English” Chaewon said and Yunjin’s eyes widened as she realized she introduced herself in English.
She quickly apologized and introduced herself in Korean.
“Hi I am Nakamura Kazuha born on August 9th 2003” she said and from what you could tell she was also not Korean.
“Last but not the least My name is Hong Eunchae or you can call me manchae born on November 11th 2006!” Eunchae introduced with a friendly smile.
“Eunchae how are you sure she’s not younger?” Yunjin questioned Eunchae making her have a thinking look.
“Oh I didn’t think about that…So new member what’s your name and age?” She asked very curious.
You took deep breaths.”Hi my name is Shin Yn born on n.a/n.a/2008” you introduced with a sweet smile.
“2008?!” Sakura exclaimed.
“Eh! I’m 10yrs older than you?!” She said as she had her eyes a widened.
They were all surprised you were younger than Eunchae.
“You see Eunchae she’s younger than you with 2yrs” Yunjin told Eunchae who was lost in thought.
“So does that mean Eunchae can’t be bearing manchae anymore?” Kazuha asked directing the question to the old members.
“Well it seems like,I mean she isn’t the maknae anymore” chaewon said thinking.
“Let’s give yn a nickname similar to manchae’s” Charwon suggested and all the members started to think.
“How about Makyn?” Yunjin suggested her own idea.
“Oo I also thought of that…” Kazuha said.
“Well Makyn is nice,Yn what do you think?” Sakura asked yn hoping she’d agree to it.
“I love it,it sounds cute” Yn said smiling widely making her bunny teeths to be obvious.
“Ah she’s so cute!” Chaewon said and everyone agreed calling her cute.
You thanked the members for making you feel so comfortable around them, except for eunchae.She knew that having a younger one she wouldn't have the attention of her unnies and might have to share it or she doesn’t get as much as she used to.
Through out the entire day Eunchae was acting grumpy.
You were scared of interacting with her therefore you kept yourself as distance as possible from her.
After arriving at your dorms,you freshened and arranged your things in your new room.
You went downstairs and saw Sakura and Kazuha making dinner. “Unnies, where's Eunchae unnie? you asked them confused, you tried looking for her room but no luck you didn’t find it.
she just vanished as soon you all arrived at the dorm,she immediately just went inside and no trace of her could be found.
You were a really outgoing person and you really wanted to get along with everyone,especially Eunchae.
“Probably in her room” chaewon responded.
“may I ask where her room is” you asked politely.
“it's the one next to yours,go talk with her.i didn’t see you guys interact today”Yunjin said.
you smiled and turned around walking to eunchae’s room.
With shakey hands you knocked on the door.
“Eunchae unnie,it’s me yn….can I?”you said after knocking, waiting for her response.
After a long silence, you were about to give up and turn to leave when the door opened and Eunchae appeared,giving you a space to come in.
You watched her sit down on her bed,she patted a space for you to sit beside her.
“Eunchae unnie I bought this for you”you spoke handing her the caprisun in your hand. leaving a space for you and patting you to do so.
“I also bought you this pack of lays,I bought so many snacks because I didn’t know which one was your favorite” you said smiling shyly as you took all the snacks out of your bag.
Eunchae started to feel guilt for the way she acted earlier.
you weren’t bad and form what she could tell from the way you’ve acted so far.You’re a really nice person.
you even bought her most of her favorite things.
Eunchae started to get emotional then small tears started to drip out from her eyes.
You looked at her and caught her crying,mumbling a few words.
“Ah what do I do?,Should I get someone older” you whispered to yourself looking panicked not knowing what to do.
“Eunchae unnie please don’t cry” you pleaded grabbing box of tissues wiping her tears away.
To her,you were the cutest person.The way you were panicking and helping her to wipe her tears confronting her.
She sighed through her tears before she spoke.
“it bothered me,having a new member,younger than me and the attention the members gave you,made me feel more jealous”
“I didn't give you a single chance to have a conversation with me and now I feel bad for what I did…..I’m sorry yn” she apologized.
“I completely understand you,Getting a new member isn’t the best idea like four months after your debut..And being younger than you getting the attention of the other members” you spoke softly making Eunchae more guilty.
“Yn I’m so sorry,I should’ve acted like a responsible older sister but instead I just acted like a jerk,yn please forgive me”
“No,Eunchae unnie don’t feel that way,infact I always looked up to you as a role model during my trainee days” you said trying to cheer her up which worked.
Her eyes widened and she said.”You looked up to me as a role model?” She asked shocked.
You nodded shyly.
She pouted “you’re so cute and sweet…Can I call you yeodongsaeng(younger sister)?” She asked and you nodded happily.
She hugged you and said.
“Welcome yeodongsaeng”with her cheeks tinted in a light shade of pink.
“And Thank you,Eunchae unnie” you said between a hug and got up to leave.
but a voice interrupted you. “do you want to watch a movie?,Maybe Barbie?” She said as she watched your eyes light up and you nod happily and rapidly.
“cute” she thought to herself.

Canucks roundup November 3rd 2024 - November 12th 2024 (everyone loves Sherwood edition):
Sherwood was worried about coming into the Canucks’ dressing room because of all the chirping he did during the playoffs; right after he signed, he got a text from Miller welcoming him to the team
DeBrusk and Sherwood’s new bromance:
Standing by his stall about to peel off his practice jersey and shoulder pads, [DeBrusk] was grinning ear-to-ear and cracking jokes with Kiefer Sherwood, who he’s quickly become good friends with, next to him. When The Athletic approached DeBrusk for a conversation about his transition to the Vancouver Canucks, Sherwood chimed in and jokingly asked if he could join the interview. DeBrusk cracked a smirk and played along, calling it a great idea before Sherwood grabbed his belongings and exited to the backroom to give us some space.”
Quinn on Sherwood: “Everyone knows how excited I was that we added Kiefer this summer”
Lankinen (fellow reader) on Quinn: “Yeah, we had a couple good chats. I think he's really interesting and a smart person. I think as we go along here, I'm really curious to pick his brain a little bit.”
Petey after the Canucks' 7-3 loss to the Oilers on November 9th (oh sassy Petey how I’ve missed you):
Reporter: “What was the difference between this game and the last three games?”
Petey (deadpan): “we lost today and won the last three”
DeBrusk is the unanimous worst packer on the team (he was in Boston as well), he brought a huge suitcase on their first road trip that “looked like it was the size of Vinny”
Brannström after their 3-1 win vs. the Flames (11/12/2024):
Drance: “Have you ever played with a partner that talks too much?”
Brannström: “Yeah, Vinny probably.”
Desharnais: “What’re you saying about me?”
Brannström: “You’re talking too much!”
Desharnais: “You’ve got me there!”

🧡The 9th House in Astrology🧡
The source if this information is The Astrology Podcast (Chris Brennan) on Youtube and from the book The Twelve Houses: Exploring the Houses of the Horoscope by Howard Sasportas and I will add a personal example as well
9th house: Religion, spirituality, the mystical, occult, esoteric matters, wisdom, direction of life, meaning, fulfillment, magic, astrology, divination, temples, pilgrimage, retreats, higher learning, university, philosophy, foreign topics, the unfamiliar, long term travel, quests, truth, seeking knowledge, God, cadent house
Our 9th house can tell us a lot about our view and relationship with religion and spirituality; whether we are more of the skeptical type (Saturn in 9th house), or maybe we find comfort in such matters and we tend to focus on the beauty of them (Venus in 9th house), how we determine our beliefs or our "truth", how we live our lives according to that truth, how we interact with/how comfortable we are dealing with foreign matters and people as well as languages, and also perhaps how we feel about moving away from home or committing to long journeys for the sake of the expansion of the mind or even discovering other cultures as well
I've seen people consider this house the most positive one out of the cadent houses and I agree with that as well <3
Personal example: Saturn in Cancer in 9th house
This is a tough one for me to delineate, to be honest but let us see how this goes
The obvious starting point is my view on religious matters and I am not religious at all despite having been raised in a religious country. Now what is interesting is that is I love astrology more than life I mean I LIVE for it at this point and I would consider myself pretty spiritual so we can say that if were seeing it in a black and white manner it would be contradictory but I think it makes sense for me; in the way that I am still skeptical in spiritual matters; I always keep an open mind but the "what if this is not factual?" Or "what if this is not the truth I am looking for?" type of questions are always in my mind however I do not like to lean into them so much
And the reason for that can be found in my chart as well since I have my Saturn squaring my Venus in Scorpio in the 12th house (placidus) or 1st house (whole sign) and if we were to be literal about it we can say that Saturn is restricting me from having that kind of harmonious feeling, I suppose because I'm always skeptic and for that reason I truly do not think I could ever feel good or comfortable being religious
My Saturn squares my moon in Aries in the 5th house (placidus)/6th house (whole sign) as well and with my Aries moon I like being impulsive emotional maybe break the rules a little bit yk and sometimes I do not feel so comfortable (moon) doing so because of my religious trauma and fearing God and being a sinner etc but thankfully I do ignore this most of the time
On a more positive note I do have Saturn trining my Sun in Sagittarius in the 1st house (placidus) or 2nd house (whole sign) and I will be honest having Saturn in my 9th house does help me take my learning journey seriously because I also have faith that it will lead me to achieve my dream of freedom whether it is time/location freedom (Sagittarius) or financial freedom (2nd house) as well so yeah
I should also mention that long term/distance travel scares me ahaha idk why but I mean I have Sagittarius sun/mercury/pluto placements so yk it is kind of mitigated by the fact that I am curious about life but yeah I should explore my fear more because it is interesting as well
Honestly my Saturn placement for me is an area of struggle for me especially since I have a night chart and so it is is my malefic plus Saturn really gives me that pressure of I have to work hard to become knowledgeable/wise and reliable too
But I have faith that it will get better with time since Saturn is the ruler of time as well
And when I turn 20 this November it will be my 9th house profection year so we will see how that goes and I will update you guys x
Thank you for reading <3

E2 Escapades - A short TAB rewrite
It was February 9th, 1924 on the Northwestern Railway, on the Island of Sodor; a little island just off of Barrow where railways thrived.
Down at Knapford, the railway's director, Richard Topham Hatt stood at the shunting yards. He had been standing there for about 35 minutes, occasionally checking his pocket watch. He let out a sigh, tapping his foot as his patience began to wear thin, but he tried not to show it. He looked at his pocket watch again – it was nearly 8 o'clock. They said on the phone that it would be here by now.
He then heard a whistle and looked around, only to be slightly disappointed when he saw Edward puffing along the track, shunting a particularly cheeky truck. "Teapot! Teapot!" It chanted before Edward gave it a biff "That's enough" he replied firmly, eliciting a yelp from the truck, which ceased the cheeky backtalk.
As Edward was about to see to the next truck, he noticed the Fat Director standing near the track. Curious, he took a moment to reverse and switch on to the track closest to the man.
"Good morning, Sir!" Edward whistled cheerfully. The Fat Director gazed up at him with a small smile "Ah, good morning to you too, Edward. Keeping the trucks in line as usual, I see" he replied observantly. The Larger Seagull chuckled "Yes, Sir. All the usual..."
A moment of silence passed before Edward spoke up again "Erm... pardon me for seeming intrusive here, Sir. But why are you standing here in the yard?" He asked. The director let out a sigh "No, no... it's quite alright, Edward. I'm simply just waiting for the new engine to arrive" he said. Edward's eyes widened at the words "new engine".
"The new engine, Sir?" Edward repeated, raising his eyebrow "Are you referring to the one that...well...was supposed to be here last year in November?"
"Indeed...Edward, you're a hardworking engine, and I appreciate you taking time out your schedule to shunt the coaches and trucks. But i have to acquire a new shunter at some point, you know" the stout gentleman said. Edward hummed in acknowledgement "I know, Sir. It hasn't been easy around here... especially since...Glynn went missing" he said, his tone more solemn.
The Fat Director grimaced at the mention of his first engine. Glynn was an engine the Fat Director made with his own bare hands back when he was a boy. Glynn was the original No.1 of the NWR, but just after No.5 was bought, he went missing one morning. They searched and searched, but eventually had to move on. The Fat Director soon had to begin a search for a new shunter, much to Edward's disappointment.
The stout man sighed sadly "I...I know, Edward. But it's been months and we must move on. I can't always have you or James being the temporary station pilot"
"Of course, Sir, I–"
"Did you call me, Sir?" A new voice suddenly called. Just then, up along the track beside Edward came a rebuilt L&YR Class 28 tender engine
He had an extended running board, a pony truck and was painted in a sleek black with red stripes. As the tender engine came to a screeching halt beside Edward, sparks flew from his wheels causing him and the Fat Director to wince.
"Honestly, James! Stop braking so harshly!" Edward hissed, still wincing a little. James rolled his eyes "Nonsense, Edward. My brakes are as fit as a fiddle!" He proclaimed smugly.
"Edward is right, James. Your brakes may be fine, but your brake blocks are not"
James stammered "But Sir! It's not MY fault that me and my brothers were made with wooden brake blocks!" The Fat Director groaned at James's excuse. Was James wrong? No. But the director did want to make a point on replacing those wooden brake blocks with metal ones. The screeching they made was awful.
"Anyway, when will the new engine be here? I'm getting tired of shunting those coaches!" James asked, quickly changing the topic.
The Fat Director lightened up "Well, from what I've been told, the engine is on its way. That is why I am standing here, after all"
Another thought flew into Edward's funnel "What type of engine is it, Sir? You never said what is was"
The Fat Director proudly smiled "Well, I decided that this railway needs a tank engine for a change! So that's why I've ordered an E2" he explained. He once again checked his pocket watch and coughed "Ahem! I'll be back, my boys. I'm just going off to check if the E2 in question is on his way" and with that, he turned heel and walked off. It was just Edward and James now.
"Huh...an E2. Never heard of it, what about you?" Grunted James. Edward hummed thoughtfully "Hmm, I have heard of them, but I've never seen one myself. They're very big tank engines from what I've been told. A bit bigger than a Gresley locomotive"
James guffawed "Wha- bigger than Gordon?!"
"Again, from what I've been told, yes"
Edward's fireman chimed in "Don't know if getting an E2 is a good idea though. I've been at the L.B.S.C.R and E2s are pretty bad at braking and struggle at getting around corners and bends..." He said with uncertainty.
James groaned at this "Great! As if we need another engine as useless as Henry!"
Edward scowled "James, Henry's not..."
Edward quickly fell silent as a sudden shrill whistle echoed in the air. It was a whistle neither engines recognised. If Edward had a physical heart, it would've skipped a beat. Just then, around the corner came an engine that neither engines had seen before. It HAD to be the new engine.
"Hello! Is this Knapford?" The engine called. The engine was about a mile away, but the K2 couldn't help but notice how fairly young the engine sounded. The young engine was puffing towards them at a fast pace, a little too fast for his liking.
"Is that supposed to be the Fat Director's new tank engine? He's quite small if you ask me" James remarked. The tank engine was getting close, and didn't seem to be stopping. Edward's driver was observant of this "He's getting pretty close, shouldn't his driver be putting on the brakes?" He murmured. It was only when the tank engine was just metres away when panic began to arise.
"Woah, wait– why isn't he stopping?! Stop! STOP!!" James cried. Is it a good time to mention that the engine was on James's track?
"STOP!!" James yelled out, frantically trying to reverse. The tank engine finally noticed what was happening and yelped "Ah! Wait! Driver, help!" He cried to the driver, looking frantic. At this point, even Edward was backing up. The engine looked frantic, seeming to forget how his own body worked.
The Larger Seagull knew enough was enough "Oh for Lady's sake, PUT ON YOUR BRAKES, BOY!!" He shouted sharply. The young tank engine quickly did as told and the sounds of his brakes screeching pierced the air. His brakes only slowed him down by a bit, he was still going at a fast pace "I can't stop!" The engine groaned.
That was it. In that moment, Edward decided to take matters into his own wheels. Coming up behind him were switch points. He looked over at the signalman and whistled "POINTS!"
The points were swiftly changed, which resulted in Edward reversing on to the same track as James and the engine.
Edward stopped, then began going forward, towards the engine. Within moments, he and the tank engine's buffers collided. At the same time, Edward put on his brakes, and that definitely seemed like a good move. In minutes, he managed to slow the new engine to a stop.
The tank engine and Edward took a moment to gather their breath, just gazing at each other. Their respective crews climbed out their cabs to catch their own breathes, giving Edward a moment to exams the new engine's appearance.
the tank engine was unexpectedly smaller than Edward thought he'd be, even smaller than him. The tank engine had six small wheels, a short, stumpy funnel, a short, stumpy boiler and a short, stumpy dome. He was painted in a dark teal livery, with white lining and his railway's initials on his side tank, along with his number on his bunker. The tank engine gave Edward a nervous smile "Um...hello!" he said sheepishly. Edward gave him a kind smile in return "Well...hullo' to you too"
The tank engine kept his nervous smile as he backed up a little to give him space "Sorry about that, i–"
"What was THAT about? You could've crashed into me!" James suddenly yelled, switching on to the next track. The engine was taken back, guilt in his eyes "I-I'm sorry! It's just that my brakes don't work well when I go fast, and–"
"Ahem!" Someone coughed. Everyone snapped their gazes and froze when they saw the Fat Director approaching them with his two assistants "What was all the noise about? I couldn't hear the stationmaster over all the screeching!" He boomed. The three gulped anxiously. But when the Fat Director's turned his attention to the new tank engine, he immediately forgot what he was mad about "Ah, my new tank engine! I see you've finally arrived!" He said, walking over to the tank engine.
The teal tank engine put on a smile "Hello...um...Sir" he greeted the director as he looked him up and down. However, the Fat Director's happy look soon turned into a confused one "Hmm..."
James raised an eyebrow "What's happening?"
"I don't know...something must be wrong" Edward whispered, glancing at the director's puzzled look. The tank engine became worried "Is something wrong, Sir?"
"To put it bluntly, yes... i ordered an L.B.S.C.R E2 tank engine. I didn't order any modified Jintys" he said, scratching his chin. The tank engine's eyes widened "What..? But I am an E2" The engine proclaimed, becoming confused.
"Well, I can't exactly agree with you until I know that there wasn't a mix up" The Fat Director then approached the crew "Now, you two. Is he lying?"
The driver shook his head "No, Sir. He's being truthful" the Fat Director's eyes narrowed as he glanced back at the supposed E2. He still wasn't fully convinced "Does he have his blueprints with him?"
"Yes, Sir. They're in the cab"
"Go get them"
The fireman nodded and dashed towards the engine's cab. A few minutes later, he climbed back down from the cab and handed the blueprints to the director. As soon as the Fat Director got to look at the blueprints, an awkward silence fell over them all. The director's eyes narrowed, then slowly widened.
"Well, I'll be damned. You ARE the E2 I ordered..." He said incredulously "You were designed by Lawson Billinton, correct?"
"Yes, Sir! Though, I've never seen him myself" the E2 replied earnestly
Edward and James gasped softly "Oh dear...i think Sir might've been tricked again.." the K2 thought dreadfully. Edward's fireman soon jogged over to get a look himself.
"Do you mind if I take a look, Sir?" The stout gentleman grunted and gave him the paper. After a moment of looking, the fireman looked as confused as the Fat Director "That can't be right... I've seen an E2 before, this blueprint design isn't even accurate... it all looks rushed"
The Fat Director hummed thoughtfully and glanced at the E2's driver "Pardon me, but who gave you these blueprints?"
"One of the workers. They were one of the guys who built him" he replied "He was completed not too long ago. Only a few months" the driver explained. Edward and James were shocked "Goodness, he's incredibly young" Edward muttered.
"I see..." the director hummed. After a moment of thought, the Fat Director looked back up at the tank engine and smiled "I apologise for the misunderstanding, um....?" He gestured for the engine's name.
"No problem, Sir. I'm Thomas" Thomas smiled, trying to ignore what just happened. The Fat Director chuckled "Alright then, Thomas. My name is Richard Topham Hatt, but you, as you know already, are to address me as 'Sir'. Understood?" He said.
"Yes, Sir. I will"
"Very good, now...how well do you fare at shunting, Thomas?" The stout gentleman asked. Thomas beamed "I'm getting good at it, Sir"
"Alright then, sounds splendid! Now, i must get back to my office. I am a busy man, you know. I'll let Edward show you around" said the Fat Director as he wandered up to Edward "Edward, can you also teach him while you're showing him around? I think Thomas needs a bit more experience... especially around Gordon" he whispered. Edward quietly agreed "I will do my best, Sir"
Thomas watched quietly as the railway director finally disappeared from view before looking back at Edward and James, who were staring at him. He raised an eyebrow "What? Do I have soot on my face or something? Why are you two staring?"
Edward's face flushed with embarrassment as he averted his gaze "Oh, um– pardon me, Thomas. It's just that you're...well...not as big as we thought you'd be. You're small, smaller than any of us"
Thomas took offense to this and wheeshed "Puh! Sorry for not reaching your expectations. But believe it or not, I was big enough to do my job at Brighton!" He replied snarkily. He wasn't expecting to meet more arrogant big engines so soon. He switched to another track and puffed away, huffing.
Edward's eyes widened "No, wait! That's not what I meant!" Edward said as he reversed to catch up with Thomas "I just meant you're not as big as we were told you'd be. It's alright if you're small! Look at me, I'm the smallest tender engine on this railway!"
Thomas's expression softened "Well, I may be small, but I'm very hardworking!"
Edward smiled softly "I'm sure you are. My name's Edward, by the way. But the director already mentioned that, didn't he?" he chuckled. Thomas chuckled "Nice to meet you, Edward. You're a lot kinder than all the other tender engines I've met. They just boss me around as soon as they see me!"
"...and I'm James!" Greeted the other tender engine.
“It’s nice to meet you both…I was told that I was going to be a station pilot here?”
Those words made Edward recall the director’s words “Ah, yes. Thomas, come with me. I’ll show you around the yards and the station. I’ll even show you our roundhouse shed up at Tidmouth, I’m sure that’s where you’ll be sleeping” he promised. Thomas whistled eagerly to that and followed Edward as he went to get himself turned around. James watched as they did so.
From that day on, Thomas showed everyone that even the littlest engines can be Really Useful.

Hello, you've probably been curious as to the theme which I have been wondering myself. What could I do to bring justice to the anniversary of this account?
Well then I thought what the point of this account was? To celebrate our favorite squid kid and let people have fun.... so I'm calling a wild card
Draw whatever the shell your heart desires in relation to agent 4. Want her taking over the world alongside your oc? Go for it. Make her T pose on top of Octavio? Shell yeah. use a past theme? Go ahead.
The same rules as always apply. Suggested jokes, lines and outfits are fine as long as you aren't making blatant porn. Do not give unwanted or non-constructive criticism. All ships are allowed, don't be mean because you don't agree with another ship, etc.
TAG YOUR POST WITH "Agent 4 art contest" or @ me else your post won't be counted
Send an ask if you want something clarified. As always the first submission gets to be the new pfp and the contest runs from today (October 9th) to November 11th.

Dungeons and Daddies Wiki Drama: A Greek Tragedy Told through the Medium of Forum Posts (Part 3)
Act 3: Death of a Mod Team
A sockpuppet by any other name would smell just as sweet.
Stay tuned for a late-breaking update later today- wiki admin Gaycowboyrats has gone on the record about their experience and I'll be sharing that with you all this afternoon!
In this, our last Act, we explore the consequences of wiki overreach of power.
First, the silent downfall of Gaycowboyrats.
December 5th, 2023:
The main concern? Inactivity.
Notable PawnSum quote: "I am sorry for not catching my mistake for three hours. I feel so foolish. I wish I wasn't autistic."
TwoRatner response: "I promise to keep you safe."
(A quick, sincere note for any readers- while I think many of the admin actions were... inadvisable at best, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being autistic or making an easy typo. I genuinely hope that whoever is behind the PawnSum account doesn't feel that way about themselves).
The secondary concern? Racism in a Thor: Ragnarok movie review, and being a "trimmer of life."
(The link provided was https://rate.house/user/Gaycowboyrats, for anyone curious. It appears the page has since been deleted, but stay tuned for more on this in a separate post later).
The tertiary concern? Account security.
Another reference to site breaches and administrator account hacks. Interesting.
Thus, the admin privileges of Gaycowboyrats were revoked. In a chorus of moderators and users with, again, suspiciously similar speech patterns, they were voted off the island wiki.
December 7th, 2023:
The next Admin Discussion Zone begins where A New Development left off- with the transgressions of Brazil86.
"Please don't vote to remove me. I can still help. He's gone, so everything should be fine."
What this tells me, and the questions it leaves me with:
The most obvious conclusion is that getting voted out of administrator power is a very real and present threat, even for active wiki administrators.
By "he's gone," I wonder if Brazil86 means Gaycowboyrats, the admin who was just removed a day before (though Gaycowboyrats does not use he/him pronouns, to my knowledge). If so, this implies a coordinated effort on the part of the other admins to remove Gaycowboyrats greater than what we saw in the forum.
Or is this referring to some other event yet unaddressed in the forums? Maybe this is about the aforementioned account security breaches?
HungerBunger: "I think we're all mad at you."
My kingdom for a look at their Discord server.
TwoMarshall: "I just want you to not be me." An interesting turn of phrase for accounts that tend to speak in remarkably similar ways.
Brazil86: "It is fixed, so please don't make me fall."
This Admin Discussion Zone is a dramatic depature from the ones that precede it.
The admins admit doubt, worry the rules are too restrictive, and yet Marth8204 still expresses optimism that the wiki will grow soon.
December 9th, 2023:
In the immortal words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and wiki administrator TwoMarshall, it is done.
The split was complete. No more season 2 material would be allowed on the original Dungeons and Daddies wiki.
Another wiki user, Notapissboy, attempts to talk sense into the moderators. They're informed in no uncertain terms that they, in fact, are the one being stupid here.
Nicoh Watonshing: "Are you an admin? No. Am I? No. I however understand when I am being too big for my britches."
An interesting framing. Do any of us really know when we're being too big for our britches?
What is hubris, if not being too big for your britches?
Iconic Nicoh Watonshing quote: "It's free parking on Park Place."
(It must be noted for posterity that the Park Place spot in Monopoly is the second-most expensive property in the game.)
FunderStun sagely responds to this with the lyrics to the song Shooting Star by Bag Raiders.
HungerBunger: "You have the freedom to do good."
Users November Jane and Sol-Has-An-Obsession come in with more questions and critiques. By this point, the administrator team seem to have gotten tired of the whole issue.
After this, wiki forum discussion and activity appear to have moved past the drama. Perhaps they just moved on with their lives. Perhaps the only ones left to discuss things were the administrators who instigated the issue.
Only time will tell.
December 16th, 2023:
December 19th, 2023:
Even in the face of blatant personal attacks involving an insult to TwoMarshall's dead brother, administrators simply ask the culprit to not do it again. This is a strong tonal difference from their harsh responses to earlier reasonable critiques.
December 19th, 2023:
The last forum post as of writing was a discussion on removing an inactive moderator.
Have they exhausted the wiki drama well, or are they merely biding their time?
Maybe TwoRatner was right, and the wiki is cursed.
Maybe all of this was one person with dozens of sockpuppets, feeding message prompts through ChatGPT to stage a coup on a niche fandom wiki and enact an extremely detailed, drama-filled LARP.
Maybe multiple trolls wormed into an already-struggling wiki through a security breach and decided to destroy it from the inside.
No matter the cause of the current wiki issues, user Chekovsnakess was correct. This was the hubris of the administrator team: by making a wiki for the administrators and not the users, they made a wiki for no one.
This series has left me with more questions than answers: what security breaches happened and why? What did Brazil86 do to cause so much animosity among the other mods? Why go through this much drama in a fandom wiki, of all places?
While I may never know the answers, I do know that the Dungeons and Daddies fandom remains, on the whole, one of the most positive and engaged groups I've ever been a part of. That's what makes this drama stick out the most, in my opinion: it's so completely out of left field from the fandom I've known. The wiki may have quickly gone from bad to worse, but I trust the community of this show, and I know we have the potential to make something better.
Chorus
December 8th, 2023 (immediately after the last Admin Discussion Zone):
TheOneTrueGod41: "I don't know what's the matter with me. Sometimes I don't feel whole."
Words to remember them by.
Stay tuned for the epilogue and final post(s) in this series, including word from former wiki administrator Gaycowboyrats!
-----
And speaking of trusting this community, I'd like to take this chance to remind everyone to PLEASE not interact with the forums/wiki admins because of this!!! They may be making some questionable decisions, and I clearly enjoy deep dives on random internet drama as much as the next person, but please don't go trolling them in return.
We're better than that, y'all. Remember, "you have the freedom to do good."
On a personal note, I never expected this to go as far as it has: this evolved from people in the Patreon Discord wondering what was going on with the wiki and why it was splitting apart, to me sharing screenshots of funny non-sequiturs in the forums, to an entire Internet drama investigative journalism piece framed as a tragedy of wiki administrator hubris.
I've loved to see how much the community has rallied around this wiki situation- from people assisting me with research, to people offering to make dramatic readings or video essays out of my posts, to fans even working to create a new show wiki after this came to light. (More on that as it develops, hopefully!)
This is absolutely the kindest, most supportive fandom I've ever participated in, and everyone reading this has been a part of that. If our wiki is being brigaded by trolls, I sincerely hope that they realize the futility of what they're doing and move on with their lives. Several of them (assuming it's more than one person) have posted about really difficult personal circumstances. I hope that everyone involved gets the help they need and that they grow from this.
In the words of Ron Stampler: You are enough, just as you are.
Best,
Simon

Madam Red Regression
The title pretty much sums up the base of this post. Madam Red, otherwise known as Angelina Dalles, regressed back to a point in the past before the Phantomhive mansion burns to the ground.
Initially I wrote a post about this sort of thing, looking for fanfiction of other characters regressing back to this point as a "Time Travel Fix-It". Long story short, I couldn't find any, and here I am, sharing the base of an idea I plan to write eventually to gauge interest. Plus, writing these are fun.
There are some mild spoilers below for those who are new to this fandom. So just putting this as a warning!
On November 9th 1888, Angelina Dalles is murdered by reaper Grell Sutcliff.
After being confronted by Ciel, her and Grell are revealed to be Jack the Ripper. Not wanting to be turned into the police for her crimes, she concludes that she has to kill her nephew.
But...
She couldn't do it. She wasn't able to murder her sister's son. Especially not when he reminded her of Rachel.
So Grell took it as a betrayal and killed her instead in and cuts her down. Her body falls to the ground as her life flashes between her eyes. The last thing she could recall before passing on was that she hoped that Sebastian would be able to protect Ciel from her former partner in crime.
Her life had run it's course with her final decision: choosing not to harm Ciel.
Or so it would seem...
Angelina woke up in a hospital bed, disoriented and woozy. Her head was spinning like crazy and her thoughts were a jumbled mess. Once they became coherent, she recalled the previous events. She had chosen to spare Ciel... then Grell chose to attack her.
The stab to her chest came back to her like a throbbing pain as she involuntarily groaned in discomfort. But for some reason it was her head that hurt more. Her vision was blurred and she couldn't see well, but she knew that she had winded up in the hospital. In spite of everything, a small smile found it's way to her face.
Ciel and Sebastian must have taken her to the hospital after dealing with Grell. She'd have to thank them later. Although, she was curious about Sebastian's supernatural abilities. No normal human could fight a grim reaper like that and survive.
When she recovered enough to finally muster the strength to sit up, a doctor came over to her to give her the rundown on her current condition. The doctor made no mention of her stab wound—which she refused to look at as she kept on the blanket. But he did mention something about a carriage accident. As well as the passing of her former husband and fetus.
That was... Strange. Like she was reliving that time several years ago. It was still burned in the back of her mind. One of the many tragedies that led her down a dark path.
February 7th, 1885. That was the day that she lost her husband, unborn child and her uterus. The little piece of happiness that the world allowed her was taken in an instant. But not all was lost. She still had Rachel. And... Vincent.
Until they too, were taken from her in a horrific accident.
Bitterness had welled up in her heart yet again as she thought about it. How cruel the world had been to her. And now she was in the hospital, recovering but for her crimes she'd most likely be behind bars for the rest of her life. Not that she didn't deserve it after killing those women.
But those thoughts faded away when she was told she had a visitor. She had assumed Ciel, who'd most likely inform her of her future fate. But instead it was someone else. Angelina looked at her like she had seen a ghost—for the figure might as well have been one.
Rachel Phantomhive, her lovely older sister, was rushing towards her with tears in her eyes. She embraced her younger sister and cried, feeling sympathy for her sister's loss of husband and child. Angelina cried too, but not for the same reasons. She had long since mourned them. The ones she never got over, one of them was right there in front of her.
Somehow, Angelina had been sent back into the past. She didn't care to question it at first, she was just so overjoyed to be alive back when Rachel and Vincent still breathed.
Angelina silently renounces the old her after recovering from her injuries. She's done with being "Madam Red" and everything relating to that title. It was really just a mask she had put on, hoping that wearing it enough would make her accept it. But she's done with that now and more importantly, she has bigger problems to face than maintaining an image she never cared much for in the first place.
She has a complicated history involving her hair—its length in particular. As a child it was short, but she admired her older sister's longer hair and grew it out. Insecure about her hair color, which stood out, she also grew out her bangs. Her hair was cut short again after meeting Vincent, who complimented her hair color and she no longer wanted to hide her face. When she married her late husband, she grew out her hair once again. And after his death it was then cut short once more.
Instead of following her previous choices of cutting her hair short after waking up in the hospital, she instead left it at it's current longer length. If she looked in the mirror and envisioned her short haired self, all she could see was the bitter killer. She didn't want to become that woman again. Additionally, she now wears a black rose pin in her hair.
Instead of wearing the vibrant red dresses, after her regression she now wears more muted colors—browns in particular. This has come to the surprise of several people as for many years she had made red her signature color and embraced it. Now, no longer to be confined to it, she rarely wears the color. She also wears dark colored jewelry, but still applies red lipstick as she ironically does not like the other color options.
The "new" Angelina does not go unnoticed, especially by her sister, the person she cares most about in the world. Rachel is surprised that Angelina has switched up her wardrobe, but understands that Angelina may be going through a grieving process. Others notice the shift in her personality too, but due to losing her husband and unborn child recently in this timeline, her behavior is said to be the result of grief.
After taking some time to readjust to the new timeline and accepting that both Rachel and Vincent are still alive and well, she starts to speculate on what to do. While she was a smart and strong woman who was able to get a doctor's license in a time period prejudiced against women, she was no detective. Saving the Phantomhives becomes her main goal. Even if she's still somewhat shaken up about it, she realizes that this isn't a chance she should pass up.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone else pairing these two together (understandable since Madam Red is canonically dead) but hear me out on this one.
Who is regularly visiting the Phantomhive household to be close to the two people she loves most?
Angelina.
Who visits the Phantomhive household, maybe not as regularly, but still often to see his best friend and engage in their more private affairs?
Diedrich.
We may not have seen many interactions between these two, but they had to have seen each other on multiple occasions.
In fact, here they are in episode 2 of the anime (as well as in the 3rd manga chapter). Look how close they are here.
Obviously in the main timeline, she'd have no feelings for him at all. She's still obsessed over Vincent, even almost 3 years after his death. However, her obsession has started to fade, especially with her mind preoccupied with more important matters.
In the midst of everything going on, with Angelina's main goal of preventing the Phantomhive's deaths while also trying to appear normal to those around her, she finds herself drawn to a particular person: Diedrich.
She takes some time off from her work as a physician due to her physical and mental trauma after the carriage accident. Not wanting her sister to go back to an empty home after losing her spouse, Rachel invites Angelina to stay with her at the Phantomhive residence. Angelina accepts the offer and stays with them as a guest for the time being.
There she encounters Diedrich, who she doesn't instantly recognize at first glance that she has to do a double take. Since he's changed a lot in the future she came from, it really catches her off guard and is another reminder she was sent back in the past.
The two of them initially act as polite acquaintances, but Angelina, feeling in need of someone to vent to about everything and realizing preventing future events may be too hard for her alone... She turns to Diedrich.
When she starts falling for him, it is particularly entertaining.
Whenever her thoughts start to wander—when she recognizes that he's a very dependable and reliable man or worse... handsome, she reminds herself of what he looks like in 3 years (in her original timeline). Initially this works, but it becomes a problem when her own feelings get so strong that she'll still love him even if that's how he'll end up in the current timeline.
As for Diedrich's feelings, it's implied that he has a light unrequited affection for Angelina—something that she failed to recognize previously due to her overwhelming infatuation with Vincent. No man could simply compare in her eyes and she failed to recognize feelings unless a person was blunt about them (like when her former husband proposed marriage to her).
This hasn't changed, even once Angelina starts to become more of her own person rather than the idealized woman she thought she should be. In fact, his respect for her grows even more. He becomes someone she can confide in and help her during this complicated situation.
I plan to write this myself at some point (adding it to the long pile of drafts). However, if someone else wants to write a variant, I'm perfectly fine with someone using this as inspiration. The more the merrier as there are many different routes this AU idea can go. My only request is that I'm tagged or notified because I'd love to read it too!

What if season 2 sounds interesting and I am really curious to see what they will do with it, all during the holiday season.
But until then, let me tell you something about season 1! The 4th episode : "What if...Doctor Strange lost his heart instead of his hands" has to be my favourite one. That's because of its darkest themes, and, along with the last episode:"What if...The Watcher broke his oath" bring the characters really close to the Watcher, something that doesn't normally happen except in desperate, doomed situations. Also, Strange Supreme is a really interesting and powerful villain, because he interacted with The Watcher, and, ultimately, Uatu searches for Strange in his decimated universe, because he needs his help. That is a lot of power for one character.
We learned that The Watcher interfering isn't a thing that normally happens. It is a last measure, after Ultron threatens to defeat Uatu and the Multiverse. The Watcher can't let that happen, which is why he finally breaks his rules.
Until the 10th of November 2023 (yes I'm talking about the Loki finale) the Multiverse was, for Marvel's Cinematic Universe and its fans, simply the question of "What if?", which is why the series is called that too. But now, anything is possible. What we'll see in the episodes of season 2 is happening somewhere, sometime, with the God of Stories watching over it. But wait, now we have 2 watchers? How does that work...?
Now I have another question: for how long has The Watcher been there? Because I don't really see his role coexisting with Loki's purpose at the end of time, and perhaps Uatu exists in either a very far past, or a very streched future from now on. Maybe his oath to not interfere is the key to not starting another Multiversal War, and it keeps the timelines separated, each on their own way. When he fails, it leads to Kang variants, and war, and the ultimate intsallement of the TVA. Orrr maybe in the future he'll take Loki's burden of the Multiverse so we can see him happy again? :)) I don't know.
The episode titles for season 2 (via CanWeGetSomeToast on twitter) didn't necessarily wake my interest, but I'll still be happy to watch them. However, the last (9th) one...
"What if...Strange Supreme intervened"
Oh welllll. Things are getting twisted. The Watcher obviously has an oath. His title is fit for his purpose : watching over the Multiverse.
But Strange Supreme doesn't have such a thing as an oath. He was driven mad my his grief for Christine. The erasure of an Absolute Point in time ultimately destroyed that entire Universe, with Strange being the last and only one left alive of it all.
And he knows how it is to have your whole world ripped apart with The Watcher, well...just watching. So he has more chances to intervene in the Multiverse than anyone else right now, even The Watcher.
I don't know how likely it is for him to do this for someone's good, but maybe his own? Who could stop him? The Watcher, yes, but not before a though fight. Strange Supreme does not have rules, or an oath to respect. He might just do it, for better OR for worse.
That being said, thanks for reading!!

Prompts for Hyping up
Ok, so this is very last minute and I'm sorry for this. I want everyone to do these prompts, they just aren't for the mods. It'll start tomorrow on the 24th. The movie is out the 27th, but where I'm at it'll release November 9th.
Day 1- "Whose your Digimon?"- Who is the Digimon that made you digidestined, the one that got you into the fandom.
Day 2- "What Digiegg?" Now, the digieggs were based on the traits the kids had like courage. What Digiegg would you have? This can be fanmade too, doesn't have to be a pre-established Digiegg. What trait do you think is recognizable about you that you'd get a Digiegg?
Day 3-"Who did you go on your adventure with?" I'm just curious, the Digi Journey wasn't lonely for everyone? Besides a Digimon you were joined by people who became your friends? If not, talk about your fandom experience.
Day 4- "What movie do you want to watch?" What do you want from Digimon? Be honest. What's something you would love to happen? My mother was asking for Digimon Squishmallows, I don't know if that'll ever happen, but I know that's something she'd want.
This does not have to be fancy. It's like a late DYI party where everyone is showing up with chairs and cases of soda. I'll reblog them here for everyone to see, just tag Digimonloving Last Min DigiParty, I'll scour the tags for them. I wish I did something earlier, but I have my midterm coming up. Also, fanmade Digimon are welcomed! Don't be shy of talking about your OCS or anything.
Also, anyone going to watch the film? I want to, idk yet, but seeing it on the big screen would be nice.

Official Timeline;
February 14th, 2015; First Official Unit (TV-WEBB) is Built by NASA Scientist/Engineer Dr. Peregrine Hans Seymour as an Exo-Planet explorer following the non-A.I developed Robonauts being successful.
March 15th, 2015; First Camera Unit is Built (CAM-042) for recording and documentation purposes for experiments. WEBB is undergoing extensive testing for Exo-Planets such as Mars, Titan and Europa; Signs of higher intelligence from WEBB as it’s seen doing small experiments [Further research needed] [WEBB begins his documentation of mistreatment somewhere in April which Dr. Seymour is made aware of and takes action but little is able to be done as Dr. Seymour is on the lowest level of seniority of the higher ups] July 4th, 2015; First Speaker Unit Built (WOOFER-074) for experimental Exo-Planet colonization as a Laborer and source of comfort for colonizers. U.S Military approaches Dr. Seymour for blueprints of the Units that have been built, ongoing conversation. August 29th, 2015; Dr. Seymour approves Units to be built for Military, Recording/Filming and Public Resources purposes, He’s placed in charge of ensuring that there’s no major changes to Units’ design. Smaller Speaker Units are designed along with Large Units for the Cameras and possibly TVs.
August 30th, 2015; Dr. Seymour confirms that WEBB is a sentient A.I within its body, refuses to comment on how it occurred but WEBB is appointed and approved to do own experiments with the watchful eye of other Scientists. October 31st & November 1st, 2015; Titans (TITAN-CAM_1101.01 & TITAN-TV_1031.02) start date for being built on as NATO takes over command for the Military Units. December 2015; Units become more common, still not public usage despite the ultra wealthy begging for their own units, Dr. Seymour’s blueprints surfaced onto the internet due to a hacking group [Group gets discovered a few months before the Infection becomes widespread… Skibidi Skibidi Skibi-]
January 2016; Trade networks begin using Camera and Speaker Units for transportation of cargo, which they’re easily fixable and if needed replaceable instead of risking human lives in dangerous ocean travels. TVs are exclusive for Space and Earth Research as they’re able to traverse difficult terrain and get out of bad positions in a near instant.
June 14th, 2016; Some units become sentient like WEBB, they’re taken in by NASA to be studied and eventually reassigned as Scientists or Laborers for NASA and NATO. [Confirmed sentient Units are WEBB, WOOFER-074, CAM-042 and CAM-01] May 9th, 2016; TITAN-CAM_1101.01 Becomes Sentient in server room, [Seems to be a very energetic entity, will have to monitor more closely as it appears to be a squeaker at the moment. Cute little War Cries]
June 20th, 2016; TITAN-TV_1031.02 becomes Sentient [Very much a memer but can be serious if asked questions, very curious about being outside of the server room and very much adores attention on it]
November 11, 2016; Talks of data breach of Dr. Seymour’s blueprints are making rounds on the internet as leaks are unearthed by deep divers of the internet, these deep divers are fined and silenced with NDAs by Government & other organizations. December 2016; Dr. Seymour begins WEBB’s departure from Earth for Mars despite many Scientists and Himself not wanting WEBB to leave the planet. [WEBB starts getting threats of being decommission if it fails to do all tasks and experiments in a “timely” fashion, Higher Seniority of Higher Ups do not care for WEBB]
Early 2017; NASA, NATO and other governments are hit by numerous hacker groups for the blueprints of the Camera, Speaker and TV units, all fail as there’s no digital copies available due to Dr. Seymour’s insistence that the Blueprints remain on paper and not uploaded after the first leak. [Dr. Seymour approves for other Unit types to be created but these are secretive and a set of Blueprints travels with a group to Canada; Project Sugar Maple Begins]
May 19th, 2017; Development of TITAN-SPEAKER_0829.03 begins and an entire team is specifically set aside for said Titan. Dr. Seymour is bracing to say Goodbye to WEBB as launch date is fast approaching. WEBB finishes up its last on earth experiments and is preparing to launch to Mars.
June 15th, 2017; Launch date of WEBB gets postponed due to numerous cyberattacks on NASA’s server systems and tampering of the Rocket. Unknown when the new Launch date will be due to the severity of cyberattacks. WEBB is given incomplete experiments and more training to maintain its purposes and skills.
September 9th 2017; Project [REDACTED] resumed, Dr. Seymour’s oldest Project is reactivated by him for unknown reasons. [Inherited from Family, Tick Tock]
December 31st, 2017; WEBB and CAM-042 are now assigned as lab partners and given permission to free roam within the various NASA Labs.
March 19 - 23, 2018; Dr. Seymour takes WEBB and CAM-042 to Science conference in Woodlands, Texas and the duo become an internet sensation over the following few days with WEBB presenting his research as his own entity. May 30th, 2018; TITAN-SPEAKER_0829.03 becomes Sentient [Shy, quiet, but very much interested in various Knife and Dagger Blades, adores 80’s music]
October 5th, 2018; Patient Zero is infected; S̴͓̄k̸̮̂ì̷ͅḅ̷̓ì̸̬d̶̮͝i̷̧̕ ̵͍́S̸̠͋k̶̝͝i̵̬̔b̷̥̑i̶̾͜d̷̙̓i̴̦̍ ̸͖̐Š̷͚k̸̳̾ị̶̍b̵͔͒i̶̟͝d̸̬̍ĩ̵͍ ̸̯̈:̶͙̽)̴͉͗
October 15th, 2018; Patient Zero checks into a Hospital after reporting unusual symptoms after listening to a newly released song, Doctors don’t think much but monitor the Patient.
November 2018; Patient Zero infects more people unknowingly, transformation has not occurred yet. There’s a noticeable regression in speech and only sings the song at this point. Doctors are getting concerned of Patient’s mental state, a doctor checks himself in due to him noticing his speech regressing similarly to Patient Zero. December 2018; Hospital is locked down, no personnel, patients or visitors are allowed in or out, Patient Zero has transformed and has been idle for a few days. Doctors are in contact with the CDC at this point, only those within the hospital are either uninfected, infected or transformed. [Those whose family or friends are in the hospital are asked to quarantine for an unknown amount of time]
February 2019; WEBB, CAM-042 and WOOFER-074 celebrate WEBB’s creation with star gazing with Dr. Seymour. Dr. Seymour adores his creations, which he begins withdrawing from public due to death threats and sabotage over the success of his creations and designs April 2019; State of Emergency declared in [REDACTED], New Jersey after Patient Zero and a few dozen other Transformed Infected escapes Hospital. The CDC are arguing how the transmission of the virus works, all entities within the Hospital are considered 100% infected and most are believed to be transformed.
September 13th, 2019; Entire State of New Jersey is shut down after a failed containment of what is being dubbed the “Skibidi” Infection, Bridges and Roadways are shut down and military blockways are placed to prevent further infection spreading. September 20th, 2019; Riots begin in New Jersey and surrounding States as families, friends and daily life are broken due to the tight shutdown of New Jersey. Infections skyrocket due to riots and early attacks from Transformed Infected that were provoked by riots.
October 2019; Patient Zero is located by CDC and numerous failed attempts to contain Patient Zero, Military blockades are weakened due to riots. CDC can’t figure out the transmission of the infection, the Government is informed about the current situation, and the President doesn’t think much of it and plays it down. Infection begins to appear in other countries as infected a few sneaky few managed to escape New Jersey. November 2019; Dr. Seymour has completely withdrawn from the public eye and is monitoring this new infection, WEBB is stationed in NYC’s Laboratory with CAM-042 and WOOFER-074. Canada and U.K declares National emergency December 2019; Military Blockade is heavily weakened at this point, infection is tearing through Military and Police personnel, 63% of New Jersey’s population is infected while the remaining population fully breaches barriers to escape the infection.
January 2020; Surrounding States go into State of Emergency, sending frantic messages to Gov’t Congress for additional military support. New Jersey is 100% infected and infection is spreading like WildFire. Dr. Seymour makes his last video call with WEBB and loses connection as Power Grid is hit by Skibidies. He is Stationed in Houston, Texas.
February 2020; National emergency is declared in the U.S, the rest of the world is seeing cases skyrocket and in vain, attempts to shutdown to slow the spread.
March 13th, 2020; World descends into chaos as infection tears through the population, Militaries are falling apart as the Infected are transforming within hours of being exposed. NATO and other Military Organizations begin mass mobilization of Cameramen, eventually speakermen.
May ??, 2020; Dr. Seymour is Infected and Transformed. Hiding within the Labs, trying to find a cure.

Twitter vs. Mastodon
Just in case anyone was curious about how well Twitter is doing these days:
Even though Mastodon has about a fifth fewer boosts than Twitter has RTs, Mastodon is bringing about as many participants as Twitter. For context, I have been posting a little bit on each since the survey opened, but more on Mastodon than Twitter. Also, in the survey itself participants are invited to help promote the survey, and links are provided for both the promotional tweet on Twitter and the promotional post on Mastodon.
Usually the number of RTs the promotional tweet gets follows a pattern much like the survey participation itself. The first two days or so are the most intense, and then it gradually declines over the rest of the month. I'd expect to get about half (or maybe over half) the total RTs within 48 hours, I think?
So, for context, last year's promotional tweet currently has 2,983 RTs and 122 QTs, and by now I'd expect this year's tweet to have at least a third of the RTs and QTs it'll have by the end. It's 27 hours since the survey opened, and the Twitter promotional tweet has 600 RTs and 29 QTs, which would theoretically end up being something like 1,800 RTs and 87 WTs. That's a drop in engagement of about a third, in less than a year.
I'm curious because all of this rubbish with Elon Musk has been continuously kicking off since November 2022, and it was already starting to get tumbleweedy on Twitter before I stopped using it in a personal capacity (around when Andrew Tate's and Donald Trump's accounts were reinstated). It's truly impressive seeing how quickly and how dramatically Twitter is becoming politically and ambiently even more awful than it was, not to mention the increase in bugs and loss of functionality. Despite its many flaws I did actually genuinely like Twitter pre-Musk, and its degradation puts me in a state of near-wordless awe. It's sort of morbidly hilarious.
The Gender Census Twitter account currently has 3,269 followers. I seriously considered announcing that I would no longer be using the account, but if there are people who only know about the Gender Census via the Twitter account that'd be pretty unfair on them.
So, I will continue to use both accounts, but when Mastodon is ahead by a significant amount I will close the Twitter account.
~
PS: Take the gender census survey if your gender is a bit interesting! It closes no sooner than 9th May 2023. :)
~
Edit 2023-04-15: This year, the TERF influx is coming from Twitter rather than the usual Facebook, which I think is also quite telling.
