john????? is that you??

Greetings, cat emerging from a cloudy sky. Your pfp reminds me of how when we look up at a cloudy sky, there is a whole universe above the clouds that we do not see, which for all I know might include adorable cats peeking up out of the clouds.

I am just a coffee company that donates its profit to charity. But every brand on the Internet has some poor sap running their social media accounts, and the poor sap who runs this one is named John Green.

Drawing Hornet everyday until Silksong comes out - Day 200!!!

(huge thanks to this person for the art suggestion!! <3)

I genuinely can’t believe that I’ve made it to 200 days, it’s truly been wild how time flies by like that and the amount of doodles I’ve made during that time. Over 200 doodles (217 to be exact if we’re counting double pictures/extra doodles) have been made over the past 200 days. :0

And thank you all so much for the love and support! Not only have we reached 200 days but also 1400+ followers about a week ago! <3

But, having said that I’d like to make a few announcements—some good, some not so great—about a few things regarding the blog, myself, and other stuff.

Putting it all under the cut so the post isn’t long if you’d like to know more

______________________________

Announcements!

My pfp!

1.) I’ll be changing my pfp again!! I’ve officially decided that after every 100 days or so I’ll change up the pfp so it’s up to date with my doodle style (assuming it changed at all lol), but generally it’ll look relatively the same as the last!

Possibly more admins?

2.) As of right now I’m looking into the idea/possibility of having a second (maybe third?) person help me with daily doodles! As much as I’d like to keep doodling everyday there are some days that it can be tough or some situation might be happening. (i.e. recently got injured)

See, the problem is I don’t exactly have a proper way of trying this out??? My idea was to maybe do this through dms or more preferably Google Forms. I also don’t really know what form of communication afterward would be best either, suggestions to help me work this out would be great! (as you can tell I’m not very good at this stuff lol)

Commissions!

3.) After much consideration and a lot of thought, I’ve decided that in the near future, I’ll be opening commissions again for the first time in years. I don’t have everything set up quite yet, but expect more info in the near future!

About requests:

4.) You may have noticed recently that I haven’t been doing as many doodle requests recently. Sure, there’s usually quite a few in a row at once but you may have noticed I’ve also been doing “non-requested” doodles aka ones that I just do on my own.

Expect this to become a very normal thing going forward. I probably won’t be doing as many requests as before because frankly with the amount of requests I get daily when it’s open is a lot to handle sometimes. Does this mean requests will be stopped entirely? No, I’ll still do some occasionally, but not as much as I have in the past.

Also I’ll likely be doing strictly anonymous requests.

About Burnout:

5.) Alright let’s address the elephant in the room.

There have been quite a few instances where people have wondered if I would ever have burnout and have occasionally joked about “dying” from said burnout because “Silksong will never release, you’ll be doing this forever” etc etc.

In the past I’ve been fine, motivation has been great, but recently I’ve noticed it a little bit.

Unfortunately life has its own plans so it can be a little hard for me to make a doodle that day, expecially recently since I’ve been experiencing personal/medical issues. It’s part of the reason I’m hoping to get a second (maybe third) person to help me do daily doodles so I can take a little bit of the load off my shoulders.

So what does this mean for this blog?

Not much right now. But in the future, there may be some changes. My current plan is to keep going on daily doodles/posts for the length of a standard year, so roughly 365 days. After that, if things in personal life keep up the way they have, I may have to stop daily doodles and instead will post only if I have time. That likely means doodles every other day or every three days or something. At the very least I’ll still post a doodle once a week.

Not to worry though! I’ll still try my best even after I reach day 365 :)

I’ll discuss how things work a little more on my main @miizori later, but that’s as much as I can think to explain rn.

———————————————

Just a few more things I wanted to say!

This community has been so cool to interact with, so much tamer than some others I’ve been apart of in the past. I’m genuinely thankful for how much support and how nice everyone has been. I truly didn’t expect to get this far, I was fully expecting to have stopped like 10 doodles in lol. I especially love to see all your comments in the tags and people sharing their art. You’re all so cool :)))

I have a dtiys from back when I reached 300 followers that’s still available if you’re feeling up to it!

Also my main (again, @miizori) is where I make updates on doodle stuff, regular art stuff and so on if you’re interested at all in that lol

I think that’s all that I can remember wanting to say, so thanks!! I look forward to more doodles for you all :)

SERIES MASTERLIST

HAWKINS HIGH, VALENTINE’S DAY 1993

Valentine’s Day soon rolled around. The communal spaces of the high school are decorated with red paper chains, shiny red and silver streamers and hearts and cupid cutouts everywhere.

The post box for the students was situated at the entrance of the school, allowing the kids to give their valentine a card anonymously or not. The teachers had their own, or course, a much smaller box that was tucked away in the corner of the teachers lounge.

It was only for a bit of fun, something to make the day a little brighter for the teachers. Steve would usually buy one for Robin and vice versa, a funny little card with a joke inside that was bad, even by Steve’s standards. But this year was different. This year Steve purchased two cards from the store.

Cards for the students were delivered to their classes throughout the day, the classrooms filled with giggles or hushed whispers, pairs of flushed cheeks dotted around the room. 

It was your last class of the day, around fifteen minutes left until the last bell would ring signalling the end of the day. There was a quiet knock on the door before one of the ladies who worked behind the scenes at the school, who took care of all the admin things, popped her head around the door. You urged her to come inside, ready to help with whatever she needed.

What you didn’t expect was the giant bouquet of flowers she was carrying in her arms. Red roses mixed in with pink chrysanthemums and purple freesias, wrapped in pink paper and tied with a white ribbon. You could see there was a small card attached and all you could wonder is why on earth she was bringing them to you.

“These arrived for you,” she said quietly even though all the students were turned in their seats to gawp at the flowers, “you’re certainly a lucky lady.”

And with that she left, leaving the huge bouquet on your desk. Your eyes narrowed at the small card that was in a pink envelope, removing it carefully from the little stick that was keeping it in place. Your jaw was on the floor, so much so you would have to use your hands to pick it up from the ground. The flowers were showstopping, petals soft and bright.

The greeting card was simple with a graphic of hearts on the front. It was what was on the inside that interested you more. 

‘Beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl. Happy Valentines, from your Secret Admirer. S.’

“Who’re they from, Miss?” Olivia piped up from the corner, a smirk on her face as she hoped for a definitive answer.

Truly you had no idea. Well, you had one idea but you’re not sure if you wanted to buy into that. Thankfully, the bell rang and saved you from having to even delve into that conversation with Olivia and your students, doing your best to hide the heat that flushed your cheeks as you read the words over and over again. You sighed with relief as you watched them all pack up and rush out the door and towards the parking lot.

Your gaze was fixated on the flowers, the words contained in the card swum round and round in your head. You were too engrossed in the whole ordeal to notice Robin had let herself inside your classroom and was making a beeline for your desk. You offered to lend her some art supplies so she could make a new display in her classroom, you just didn’t expect her to barrel through your door at 3:05pm.

“Woah,” Robin gasped, her eyes bugging wide at the bouquet that sat on your desk, “someone’s a lucky lady. Who are those from?”

“No clue, but they really are beautiful,” you shrugged, “this is all the card said.” You handed the small pink envelope over to her, busying yourself across the classroom as you searched for the supplies you promised to Robin.

Robin narrowed her eyes as she read what was scrawled in the card, her eyes widening once she realised she recognised the handwriting, the ‘S’ it was signed with piecing everything together. She couldn’t help it, the noise bubbled up from her throat that came out like an excited, shrill, squeal. 

“You alright over there, Robin?” you asked, a concerned tone lacing your voice as you spun around on your heel, markers and pens spilling out of your arms.

“Who, me? Yeah, I’m good, I’m great even,” she stammered out, trying her hardest to contain her excitement, “but I gotta go, thank you for the supplies!” 

And with that, Robin bolted back through your door, art supplies in hand as she immediately made her way to Steve’s classroom.

Steve groaned once he heard the incessant banging on his door, fingers carding through his unruly hair as he went to the door, expecting to see a kid who’d left something behind, not his giddy best friend holding a bunch of markers and construction paper.

“Robin?”

“How much did those flowers cost, Steve? Holy shit–,” she whispered, as if you or some unfortunate student would be eavesdropping around the corner.

“Oh, sure, Robin, come right in!” Steve rolled his eyes now, swinging the door shut behind her, “What flowers, what are you talking about?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, Harrington. I saw the card, I know your handwriting anywhere.” Her arms were crossed across her chest now, eyebrows raised suspectly. “I can’t believe you didn’t tell me!” Robin exclaimed now, her hand swatting at Steve’s bicep.

All of Steve’s resolve faltered, he knew he had been found out, he knew there was no point in trying to hide it now. He sighed, slumping back in the chair behind his desk, his wire frame glasses long abandoned to pinch at the bridge of his nose.

“Fine! Fine, you got me, Robin,” Steve chuckled, holding his hands up in defeat, “and firstly, I didn’t tell you because I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist telling her everything and secondly, did she like them?”

It was true, Robin was terrible at keeping secrets but she couldn’t help but feel a little warmth in her heart at how head over heels Steve truly was for you. She couldn’t help the smile that was creeping on her face, tugging at her lips and pinching at her freckled cheeks as she couldn’t wait to spill every little bit of information that she had.

“Yeah, she did,” Robin spoke clearly, “she said they were beautiful, you did good, Steve.” A look of relief graced Steve’s features, his shoulders relaxing, a small smile creeping up on his face, “But,” Robin continued and the look on Steve’s face fell almost immediately, “she had no idea who they were from, well, that’s what she said, at least.”

It was funny really, how oblivious you both were to the situation. You, oblivious to how Steve really felt about you, to how deep his feelings ran. Any time you caught wind of the possibility, you would shut it down instantly because Steve Harrington, handsome, kind and sweet history teacher Steve Harrington could not have feelings for you, you wouldn’t allow yourself to believe it. 

And Steve? Oh, Steve was down bad. He thought about you all the time, even when the atmosphere was awkward and tense between you, he still thought about you. Thought about your smile, your laugh, the one that could light up the entire room. Thought about how your eyes would flutter closed at the first sip of hot coffee in the morning, how your nose would wrinkle so cutely in the cold weather.  Steve was hopeful that you felt the same, hopeful that one day he’d get the chance to ask you to be his girl. But Steve was done with subtlety. Done with the small gestures like bringing you coffee, remembering what your favourite pastry was so he could bring it to you the next morning. Sure, he loved doing those things for you but it was time for something bigger, something bolder.

WARNING!

18+ HERE THERE BE HORNY 18+

MINORS DNI

got sick of scrolling past a big thing so if you're new CLICK THE READ MORE

hi I'm a 26 year old transmasc boything with an emotional support god complex. (it's mostly a bit but I may like it a little too much) he/him, it/its, or ze/zem/zis (treated as grammatically singular) pronouns. they/them is whatever but not preferred. top surgery and on T. if you absolutely must refer to me by some kind of name/title, Administrator or Admin will do, since that's what I use in recordings and drone style sessions. I use Handler for petplay style things but don't usually use it verbally. otherwise you can just mention "god" in your moans while you jack off to my blog and I'll accept that as an offering of worship. :3

update: I can no longer deny how much I like the title of "Master" so. guess I'll add that to the list.

I am an Aromantic Bisexual Service Switch with a preference for dominance, and despite being proudly easy to hypnotize, I do not submit for just any generic dom, and my submission must be earned. however, I have no preference between top or bottom.

I will mostly be talking about hypnosis on this blog. Honestly, most of my non-hypnosis posts can be interpreted with hypnotic undertones, and my god complex posts should always be interpreted to have hypnosis involved.

I also make my own recordings! The free ones will be linked here, but if you want to keep up with the stuff that I can't post here...

https://www.patreon.com/user?u=118883163

I also have a YouTube page for the recordings available for free at the above link.

(I may play up the god complex but please speak to me like a person first)

main kinks talked about on here:

Hypnosis (obviously)

Puppy play

CNC and occasionally free use

monsterfucking including oviposition

idk what it's called when I get off on pretending to be a cult leader but that's here

I've probably forgotten a lot of them but I try to remember to tag oviposition for posts and rbs but I only seem to remember to tag hypnosis on my original posts.

important tags:

#my art [for original artworks I either have rbed from my main or are so horny they're only available here]

#my vibrations [for original hypnotic voice recordings]

#text induction [for text based inductions]

#covert induction [usually paired with the text induction tag]

#personal thoughts [for original text posts]

#trance ideas [for potential future scripts]

DID I BLOCK YOU?

If you're new to Tumblr and find that I've inadvertently blocked you – my apologies! 😬

Part of Tumblr culture is that blogs with no content (i.e., no posts, no reblogs), no description, and that only use the standard headers and icons – are read as BOTS. And the standard protocol here is to block such accounts immediately if they follow you.

Bots make use of Tumblr's "Like" and "Reblog" features to give their makers' sites – usually porn sites – legitimacy and traffic, which helps to make them more visible on Google and attract more income. And most Tumblr users don't want to contribute to that. There is also the danger of downloading malware if you happen to click on any links in a bot-driven Tumblr blog.

But Tumblr users have only recently found out (in the past week or so) that Tumblr admin now makes new blogs follow other blogs first before the account becomes fully active. And this increases the risk of your blog being misidentified as a bot, if you haven't personalized it by dropping the blog-standard header and background, and adding a description.

So if yours is not a porn blog, but I've got you blocked – please understand that it probably happened because in its early days your account looked like a bot-driven one. Just send me an Ask (with the name of your blocked blog) to explain your situation and I'll unblock you. You'd have to send that Ask using another blog, however – Asks sent from a blocked blog, even if anonymous, won't be received. (But please update your blocked blog with a non-standard icon and a personalized description beforehand, otherwise you'll just look like a bot sending out a standard message and most of us will still be wary of unblocking.)

Apologies if this happened to you! Welcome to Tumblr; this kind of wacky weirdness is just par for the course in the ecology here! 💖

earlier this week someone I know got in serious trouble with our university for removing one of those shockingly vile "kidnapped from israel" signs/posters/fliers from a university bulletin board. some asshole student recorded him and reported him to campus police and now he has a hearing with the university's dei board. this could end his career.

there is a better and safer way to combat the recent surge in zionist propaganda on college campuses. most universities have what they call a "posting policy" or "signage policy" which dictates what is allowed to be displayed on campus. I've looked at five of these policies from different institutions. it is incredibly easy to find a common set of provisions that are sufficient to argue for removal of israeli/zionist propaganda.

this is particularly useful for removing those KFI signs. it is not a guarantee that your university has these provisions in their official signage policy, but odds are high that you'll be able to find something similar with a bit of digging. the common denominators of these provisions are:

signs must have clear authorship/sponsorship. (there is no such credit on the KFI fliers)

signs must promote an event or student organization on campus and usually list a date and time. (a picture of some settler's face with a "missing" label is not an invitation to an event)

there are always going to be exceptions in the language. the university of chicago has a clause stating that anonymous postings are permitted in one of their halls, but this is the only exception i could find in my limited sample size and it feels like an exception with an exception. like even fucking harvard has these two requirements in their student code: all posters must have clear authorship and a direct nexus to a real life event.

i'm happy to report that at my state university in a red state in the southern usa, university admin acted very quickly to remove the propaganda once i pushed for their involvement by emailing their pr department. do keep in mind that the person you're emailing may or may not agree with your cause on a fundamental level, but they will more than likely want to protect the university from violating their own policies. some tips on what to say:

do not talk about zionism. you want to make this person feel like they are protecting the university from stoking division/inciting violence/whatever you think your university's pr team cares about. refer to the zionist colonizers/settlers as "individuals," refer to operation al-aqsa flood as "the events of october 7," and refer to this genocide as a "sensitive geopolitical issue" if you must. neuter your language as much as possible to sound objective. i know that this can be very difficult to do.

appeal to the University, not the university. by this i mean to literally capitalize the word university in your email or otherwise appeal to some sense of authority beyond yourself. you kind of want the pr person reading this to feel that they must act as an agent for their employer (the University) to protect it. i said that i "trust that the University will act with integrity in addressing this matter, as it does for other violations of its signage policies."

kind of a weird one, but if you're jewish and feel safe mentioning that, do it. i am jewish. nowhere in my email did i represent myself as pro- or anti-zionist, but many goyim are casually antisemitic enough that they will assume every jewish person is an unwavering zionist and take their opinion on israel more seriously and sympathetically. there are too many bullshit nyt thinkpieces going around about how "jews are feeling unsafe on college campuses" and "jews are being vilified on campus" to not take advantage of these biases, especially in order to make muslim students feel safer here when they are in fact the ones receiving disproportionately more threats.

calling for a free palestine from the river to the sea is a mitzvah and is one of the most important parts of tikkun olam right now.

Code Bonds

The first truly non-species addition to RMAU-Verse, here's Code Bonds!

Code Bonds: Code Interactive species (eg. Admins, Code-weavers, etc.) have the ability to Bind their code to another being, usually another Code Interactive being. Depending on the type of bond formed and its strength (determined by a combination of ability and the strength of the relationship* between the two), some can share feelings, thoughts, abilities, life force, and more. There is ALWAYS an aspect of "awareness" of their partner, however, no matter the strength of the Bond. Bonds can be formed between a Code Interactive being and a non-Interactive being, but those Bonds are generally weaker, due to its formation being more one-sided. A Bond cannot, however, be forced on another being, no matter the Interactive level of either being.

Occasionally, a Code Interactive being with an extremely high level of Interactive Ability can initiate a bond between two non-Interactives. This is EXTREMELY rare, as the amount of Interactive Ability required to initiate and form the bond is extremely high, and it generally results in a very weak bond - the few exceptions being between two Specialized Descendants, who will sometimes have medium level bonds. 

  Death of one partner can be felt by the other - this is typically referred to as a Death Strike. The stronger the bond, the more they feel it, to the point where the strongest bonds can quite literally be struck numb and senseless until the other partner respawns… Perma-deaths, or deaths with no respawn/revival, however, have the potential to drive the surviving partner insane with grief and loneliness. The world type also affects the strength of the death feeling a partner receives; a normal world death is felt much less strongly than a Hardcore death. Note: MCC counters this by having special team-themed bracers specially coded to dampen the Bonds. They're team-themed to help keep Bond status anonymous for those who don't want to reveal their bonds. Everyone participating in MCC is given a team-themed bracer, and they just have a Code Interactive person calibrate the bracers. Everyone who participates in MCC has the calibration process explained to them, whether they're Bonded, Code Interactive, both, or neither, just in case someone doesn't want to reveal something: eg. A particular pair's Bond, someone's Admin status, etc.

*additional note: there are no relationship requirements for bonding, only that the two beings be close enough to want the bond.

Examples: Grian (Watcher) & Mumbo (Shiftwalker); Tango (Ignis Demon/Playerborn Blaze Hybrid) & Jimmy Solidarity (Listener); B-Dubs (Time Deity) & Etho (Unknown); Lizzie (Fae) & Joel (Minor Chaos Deity); Impulse (Telluris Demon) & Skizz (Earth Angel); Philza (Admin) & Technoblade (Mobborn Piglin, Blood God)

hello. I'd phrase this more respectfully, but I have decided to have zero concern for hurting your feelings because I'm convinced you don't have any. I'd like to ask why you continue to actively refuse acknowledgement that nobody in apionet likes you and everyone there thinks you're an obnoxious prick. how come, instead of rationally accepting your ban, you call one of the admins a cunt and repeatedly waste your time evading your ban and spouting your bullshit into there, expecting anyone to acknowledge it? no one there wants to hear your bullshit. why are you unable to accept this? and please consider providing actual fucking answers to these questions instead of dodging them as you usually do, otherwise I have absolutely no reason to believe you aren't a troll.

actually, even better idea: just stop fucking doing all of these things that make people hate you! and stop trying to justify them! because the simple fact is that you're a terrible person, as evidenced by the fact that everyone hates you.

if you want to continue to spout your pretentious nonsense onto the internet, there are a hundred thousand other places in the vast world of the internet to do so, which are not an arbitrary IRC network that hates you. in fact, you seem to already know this, because you have a tumblr page, a website, etc. how hard is it to just use those?

hello.

Hello.

I'd phrase this more respectfully, but I have decided to have zero concern for hurting your feelings because I'm convinced you don't have any.

Well, this ask is certainly off to a roaring start, what with blatant dehumanization in just the second sentence. Mx. Ymous, this is not a good look for you.

Let me ask you: do you think that you would phrase this ask that way if this weren't anonymous? if the people you care about knew that you were sending this ask? I ask this not only in the hopes that you'll reconsider your actions, but also because people have a tendency to overestimate their anonymity; i'll elaborate no more on that matter.

Let me ask you a different question: do you think you would phrase this ask like this if you were sending it to somebody else? I happen to have a pretty strong resistance to the things that you've said in this ask. Not everybody would, and they might react quite differently. I would avoid getting into the habit of treating people like this if i were you.

I'd like to ask why you continue to actively refuse acknowledgement that nobody in apionet likes you and everyone there thinks you're an obnoxious prick.

Don't put words in people's mouths.

I happen to remember that there were people there that i got along with mostly pretty okayly. Unless the administration has decided to perform a purge of all those people, the statement in the indented paragraph nearest upwards from this paragraph this sentence is in is simply factually incorrect.

If it were correct, i would acknowledge it and not really care all that much except inasmuch as it personally affects me—it's not my responsibility to try to control the perceptions of others. The actual actions of the people would be of significantly more interest to me than whatever might be going on inside their heads.

how come, instead of rationally accepting your ban,

There is no rational way to accept the ban because the ban was punitive and the possible consequences of accepting it would outweigh the possible consequences of fighting it. Since it's directly relevant to this determination of rationality, i'll also note for the record that, in addition to being punitive, the ban:

was thrusted into me at a time when i was unaround and unable to defend myself

was thrusted into me without a fair trial

was thrusted into me without much explanation of why it was being performed

was thrusted into me in direct violation of the laws of the land

was thrusted into me without any way to negotiate the terms of lifting the ban

I used to try to convince people away from punitive criminal justice systems by appealing to their morality, deriding such systems as “immoral” and “unethical”. Nowadays, i think that a better way to convince people is simply by pragmatism: there is a mountain of evidence showing that punitive criminal justice is plain and simply not effective at all in reducing crime.

Now i'm wondering what the angle of repose of scientific papers is.

you call one of the admins a cunt

I think that this is a misrepresentation of what happened. I will state my side of the story: in my initial attempts to evade the ban, i determined a method of entrance and, as my first action upon completion of that entrance, i stated in reference to previous failed attempts at evasion “This isn't Mario Party: you won't get a bonus star for being the biggest cunt.”.

Stating that i “called one of the admins a cunt” is technically correct, because i used the term in the singular and it was in description of the action of the administration. Despite that, i would have interpreted the way you described things as implicating that i directly stated at one of the members of the administration something along the line of “Person'sname, you are a cunt.”, which is incorrect.

I really don't want to make assumptions, but i'm going to anyway: i think that there might be a cultural difference at play here, because i really did not consider this to be a notable or interesting part of this incident, yet you seem to consider it important enough to mention. I consider the word ‘cunt’ to be just another insult, along the lines of ‘dick’, ‘shitface’, ‘fucking assbag’, or ‘shitfucked assfaced dickhead’, and i do not really take much offense from insults, even though i might react to them in other ways. I suspect that when i made the statement i did, i was assumpting that these positions would also hold for everybody else, but they ended up not doing so. If this is the case and i ended up hurting people, i apologize and will keep this situation in mind for the future; if this is not the case or i didn't end up hurting people, feel free to completely ignore this paragraph.

and repeatedly waste your time evading your ban and spouting your bullshit into there, expecting anyone to acknowledge it?

It really doesn't take that much time at all. What little time it takes is worth it. It cannot matter to me whether anyone acknowledges it, because it operates as a one-way street for me. I have zero clue what goes on in there whatsoever.

no one there wants to hear your bullshit. why are you unable to accept this?

Again, don't put words into people's mouths.

I put things into the world. If people want to see them, they can. If they don't want to, they needn't. I can accept that.

and please consider providing actual fucking answers to these questions instead of dodging them as you usually do,

I'd be able to do that better if i knew what was meant by ‘dodging’, as it's something i've been accused of in the past in cases where i didn't think it was happening.

otherwise I have absolutely no reason to believe you aren't a troll.

Trolling can never be proven unless there's a direct genuine confession.

actually, even better idea: just stop fucking doing all of these things that make people hate you!

The minds of others are wholly their own; it is not my duty to control them. The actions of others are more important to me, and i will respond to them.

and stop trying to justify them!

There are people making claims that i percieve to be incomplete. Because i think these claims are incomplete and that people might fill in the blanks with the wrong things, i think that it is to my detriment for these claims to be propogated. Therefore, it is rational for me to state what i think people should fill in the blanks with.

because the simple fact is that you're a terrible person, as evidenced by the fact that everyone hates you.

That's not how that works.

if you want to continue to spout your pretentious nonsense onto the internet,

‘Pretentious’? I don't have the best memory of these kinds of things, but i think that that's a first, and i have no idea what the reasoning behind it might be.

there are a hundred thousand other places in the vast world of the internet to do so, which are not an arbitrary IRC network that hates you. in fact, you seem to already know this, because you have a tumblr page, a website, etc. how hard is it to just use those?

They just ain't the same, man! The vibes are all wrong, they're completely different, they just aren't right for what i wanna say!

More seriously, it's because i consider the ban that was issued into me there to be unjust, and what i do operates as a way to undermine what i consider to be an illegitimate authority and fight against what i consider to be an unjust action.

Lostboy.EXE

On the internet, there exists multiple levels depending on the depravity and exclusivity of certain cites, services and content. The surface web, the dark web, and the deep web. The surface web is the level you’re on right now, with things like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. 

The deep web is stuff that’s below the surface, stuff that’s hidden from the public eye like government cites. 

And the dark web is what it says on the tin. From counterfeit items, luxury drugs to the most depraved content one can find from child sexual abuse to cannibalism to hitmen. Or luxury pickles. It’s a mixed bag.

Today we have a game that’s been rumored to originate from such a place, Lostboy.EXE. Look, it’s cliche, but we gotta start off with the classics.

I’m sure I don’t need to introduce 4chan, it’s the edgy and lawless image board that birthed Anonymous as well as several iconic memes, the posterchild of online degeneracy. But on August 22nd, 2012, someone would unintentionally drop what I can only describe as a bomb onto the message board. An anonymous user would upload a Mediafire link to a game they’d made for the /v/ and /x/ boards, intriguing the other anons. It was some innocent fun, all things considered. 

The game consisted of a single empty maze with several images of babies and religious imagery pertaining to demonic entities, you know, the usual for horror indie games. It doesn’t take a lot to unsettle someone. Just imply crimes against children and you got a free ticket to WTF-land. But otherwise it was a pretty boring game, so people in the board complained as per usual.

Imagine this: you’re the average 4chan user who just downloaded a shit game full of creepy ass imagery yet no gameplay. Just full of weird images of infants and satanic shit, you feel that you’ve seen either an edgy kid’s attempt at a game or something you shouldn’t have seen. Maybe if you played for longer you would’ve seen something truly fucked ala Sad Satan. You go to the message board where you found the link and try to figure out what the fuck you just walked into.

And then you see your full name, address, and phone number posted in that very thread. 

You see, what many users didn’t realize at first glance was that there were not one, but two links to the game, one of which being a fake malware version of the game that gave the second uploader remote access to the computers of whoever was unlucky enough to fall for the dupe. This way the anon who made the dupe was able to get their personal information and leak it into the /v/ and /x/ threads on the game. People got paranoid after this was found out–who knew what the hacker did with their computers, they could’ve taken pictures through their webcams or worse, filled their computers with illegal child sexual abuse material. Because 4chan is fucked like that. It wasn’t like the site was unfamiliar with csam being leaked onto their site, but some people weren’t as degenerate and didn’t want to be arrested for what was essentially a 2/10 indie horror. Admins would later delete the threads and put up a warning for users to not download any content found on 4chan.

It wouldn’t be until 2023 that the alleged creator of the original safe version of Lostboy.EXE was even discovered, a Twitter user by the name of rob_is_an_idiot, who was interviewed by the French Youtuber known as Feldup. Unfortunately we do not know what the fuck was said in the interview as we are not French and refuse to learn French. But we will link to the interview, of course.

Alongside this, Rob would make a Twitter post about the subject:

“I made lostboy.exe back in 2012 and shared it with 4chan's /v/ board, it was a gamemaker 7 tutorial reskinned. There was never any other version. The "virus lostboy.exe" was just a RAT virus, not the game. They simply renamed their exe to lostboy.exe.”

While the original link still exists, I highly discourage downloading the game unless you’ve got a good antivirus or lawyer. We don’t wanna accidentally distribute “cheese pizza” or viruses here, but if you wanna seek out Lostboy.EXE that’s your prerogative, not ours. But yeah, that’s the story of Lostboy.EXE as it stands–a simple game made for shits and giggles turned into a backdoor for malicious activity and an internet urban legend that until now has been left unsolved. The moral of the story? Don’t download shit from 4chan.

Ever.

6.) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

10.) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

oh hunny. i've gotten death threats. I literally had to get AO3 admin involve because two users were stalking my one fic demanding i kill myself, my readers kill themselves and that I report myself to the police....on like every chapter update..which meant they were subscribed (?)

ive also gotten very annoying entitled ones, demanding i change things but idk if that's classified as hate.

but 9/10 times every comment i recieve is wonderful and lovely.

11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I've had links to my fics posted on good reads which i HATE. but no i dont think anythings been full on stolen hopefully.

TOUGH. I'll always be a ho for IwaOi. But RusAme owned my high school years and has made a startling comeback.

15.) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but you don’t think you ever will?

Honestly, probably Apart from the Pack (UshiIwaOi). I love that fic. I love the world building i was able to create and explore. I have an idea for an ending, but I just can't really bring myself to write Haikyuu rn :////

16.) What are your writing strengths?

My favorite thing in the world is to write dialogue. I LOVE IT. ITS MY PASSION. And not to toot my own horn, but i think I'm fairly good at it.

17.) What are your writing weaknesses?

Honestly probably grammar lmao. Like, the really nitpicky stuff. I also think I could get better at writing descriptions of things.

18.) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

I've done it. I've gone back and forth on it. I mostly don't, except for fics like My Salvation (RusAme) where the whole point is the existence of a language barrier.

19.) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

WARRIOR CATS

IT WAS A CRACK FIC AND I AM STILL ASHAMED

20.) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

OOF! I love so many of them. Let me at least do top 3.

Bridge the Gap (UshiIwaOi) will always be special to me. I pour my entire heart and soul into that. It's not as popular as all my other Haikyuu fics (because of the pairing lol) but I really do think its my best work.

A Human Invention (RusAme) is also special to me. It's my most ambitious work imo, because each update required SO MUCH RESEARCH. And I just really loved being able to play with heavy themes and philosophize on the nature of existence. If only I could just write the last god damn chapter

Now, here's a curveball: A Challenge (Keith/Geordo) My one and only My Next Life as a Villainess fic. I think it's one of my best oneshot porn fics. I had SO much fun writing it even though no one read it lmao.

Idk who to tag so i'm just gonna not. this already took wayyyy too long to do. but it was fun!

[vievecorcityevents]

The VIEVECOR CITY GAZETTE (VCG) is Vievecor City’s supernaturals-only news bulletin. It is a publication that has been magically tailored by the city’s techno-pagans to keep the supernatural population of Vievecor City up to date with what is going on in the city. These publications are usually sent out at the beginning of each month in the form of highly encrypted e-mail blasts that will be automatically deleted from an inbox after 48hours.

JULY 2023 EDITION

The VCG would like to congratulate the vampires on a wonderful and very successful Wine Festival party. It was, as usual, one of the wildest parties in Vievecor City, but it has helped raise spirits of the community as a whole.

The Council has sent aid to help the affected supernatural businesses who have been targeted by vandalism last month and will continue to do so. Any individuals or businesses who had been affected, please let your species elder know so that appropriate action can be taken.

This month’s full moon will be at its peak on the night of July 4th. It will last for three nights and the Lycaon pack has opened the forests of Chissob Hills to all other packs and wolves who need space to run. The supernatural community is strongly encouraged to not go near the Chissob Hills forests during this month’s full moon.

RUMOUR HAS IT...

The graffiti that started to appear around the city last month bearing the words ‘And so the Hunt begins...’ have been appearing even more. In addition to the V.C.P.D. and F.D.V.C. supernatural personnel looking into this matter, the Council has also enlisted the help of volunteers to make sure any such tags are removed immediately. 

The fact that no culprit has been found regarding the anonymous video is also causing further unrest within the supernatural community with many of them questioning the Council and species elders about it. While no new incidents or deaths have been reported since the video surfaced, the community is still wondering when the next murder might happen. 

OOC:

The ‘Rumour Has It...’ section is not printed in the VCG and is additional information that is being talked about amongst the supernatural community.

Players who wish to have their characters involved in any incidents in regards to this specific plot should let the main/admin know! The interested player’s character may or may not be a target and if chosen will privately plot with the admin on how their attack will go down. Please be prepared to write a self-para around the incident and/or to have your character be gravely injured or not! ;)

Have fun~ ❤️

[hiddenwashington]

anonymous said : Sorry if this is an odd question, but do you guys have any rules regarding character hogging (applying for characters and then only doing the minimum activity to be able to keep them but not really doing much with them, etc.) and if so, how do you approach it (three-strike system and then the character has to be re-opened, send the player a warning, keep an eye on repeat offenders and limit their muse cap, etc.)?

not an odd question at all, thanks for asking! right now, we don't have any official rule beyond requesting people are conscious of this and don't actually participate in character hogging. so, in terms of being able to implement any warnings, it's really just a case by case situation, usually the character hogging can come hand in hand with another activity issue or a bubbling issue, so we handle each thing with whatever solution fits best with the member. we have limited people taking up characters, limited extensions / hiatuses, etc. it just depends on the person and those solutions always stay between the member and the admin team. we handle a lot behind the scenes, we just like to keep them private. but, if anyone is noticing an issue we don't want you all to hesitate to talk to us. please message an admin if you notice anything you want us to look into! we try our best to monitor everything but extra eyes never hurt!

[lionews]

You guys really need to be nicer to each other on-site. Off-site is a different story, but basic respect should still be abided by when the user deserves it [I do not respect certain groups of.. disgusting adults if you know what I mean]. It's good an all using the 'devs are humans too' argument, but failing to abide by that reasoning when speaking to the other user gets you nowhere and it leads to them not only disliking you; but going out of their way to prove you wrong. It makes it harder to take any of you seriously when you're making passive aggressive comments aimed towards specific people and how they reacted; but in reality you're insulting a larger group of people. It's not okay. We're all meant to be 16+ on this game, the majority are over 18 and need to start acting like it. if you're under 16, act like a 16 year old and be mature please; but this isn't super relevant to the point I'm trying to make.  By being polite and showing users where they went wrong they're much more likely to calm down and listen and go 'hey, you know what? maybe I was being a bit mean there. I'll correct myself'. I have been an ass in the past, I have acted immaturely but to be correcting grown ass adults over the age of 25, possibly older, is baffling to me as a 16 year old. I should not be correcting adults' behaviour and be making them rethink how they've approached a situation - you're all human, I'm human too, but that's just wrong when it's a consistent issue of rudeness whether you're an adult, or a minor. The issue with the Developers of Lioden at the moment is that they are inconsistent with their communication. An example of this is that a base pack was meant to be released in Autumn last year; they cancelled it and did not release this information in a news post at all. A user who commented asking about it got an anonymous admin response stating it was cancelled due to 'negative feedback' [which it certainly did not receive enough of to cancel a project people spoke about positively for months]. Sure, they then corrected themselves and apologised for the misunderstanding and aimed to release a BO base pack in 2024; but it's not acceptable. Users pay actual money to keep them in their job, and to support the game; we have a right to know when something is cancelled. We have a right to know when something is planned - even if it's not in big detail (take the jaglions for example, we didn't know what exactly would happen, only that it would involve a storyline and when it was going to be hopefully released).

There's a difference between the users complaining about a blatant lack of communication, and the users complaining about an item in a shop that we were lead to believe would be there, not being there. The majority were complaining about the first option. I adore the idea of rotating themes within treasure hunting; It's unique and different compared to LD events currently. My problem was the fact we were led to believe the event would remain the same, with the same items, as we decided via the poll back in January. I wouldn't have an issue with ochre powder prices raising, 150DB when you can get 2-3 powders a day isn't a lot; but at the same time, usually users could easily get 2-3 ochre gnawrocks in the september event - this year they're struggling. The developers have amazing ideas, truly, but their execution is poor and they need to be more in-sync with their own community. As a final thought, just remember everyone you are talking to is a human, they have feelings and you shouldn't be getting corrected by anyone on your behaviour. Your personal struggles are not an excuse to treat another person poorly, neither are your frustrations or annoyance with how someone else has approached a situation; if they want to be rude, that's their choice and ultimately you need to think about whether or not you want more people to listen to you when you're being nice, polite and reasonable; or whether you want more people to not want to listen or validate your opinion/beliefs because you were rude. Be better, we are a community and we need to start acting like it.

So you agree that you being entirely anonymous when you’re clearly part of the rpc is also harmful. You’re also hiding who you are by not giving the name you use usually or by not saying which groups you’re part of or have been part of. You’re also hiding who you are with this blog. If it’s harmful for groups and they do it because someone has been harmful, what’s the difference when it comes to you? If you can name one good reason I’ll give you 10 bucks.

Do you know the difference between discussion blogs and roleplaying groups? When you're an admin, you take on the responsibility of providing a safe and welcoming environment for all. People invest their time and talent when they write applications, create characters, set up blogs, and make personalized Discord muse channels and gifs. Imagine going through all of that and ending up in a toxic environment. That's not what I'm offering here. I'm not offering you a place where you will directly interact with potentially problematic people. I'm only encouraging open dialogue. Shiv is just my mascot, but I always use the same pronouns, live on the East Coast, and don't hide the fact I'm a POC. Finally, you didn't provide one good reason; instead, you shifted the focus of the conversation to me. Did it hit a nerve, anon?
