#player-adjacent social media

Anni Keisala and her girlfriend, Sanita

You wake up from a very long and exhausting dream. It's late November, 2023. QSMP is alive and well, it seems. The server is full of life every single day, at least 15 separate people logging in per week. Mariana, Rubius, Felps, Lenay, German, Carre and Kameto all play often if not full time. Wilbur and Forever were never even part of the server, and Lullah was only added because the admins thought it would be funny to make Phil take care of two children instead of one. Cellbit's murdering fed workers arc is in full swing, perfectly incorporating the storylines of so many people like Bagi, Roier, Pac, and Foolish, tying them all together. Slimecicle's code corruption arc is building too, and it looks like the story will be having its climax soon. There are cultural events all the time still, and so many more that are planned for the future have already been announced. Fit and Pac are still in slow burn mode, and really hard selling it.

"What?" You say, lost. "What happened to purgatory, wasn't that in November?" You ask.

"What are you talking about? Do you mean the competitive QSMP adjacent series that happens every couple of months, involving tons of international creators, completely unrelated to QSMP lore, that QSMP creators can choose to take part in if they want to?" Says the community.

Well that's strange. Not quite how I remember it, you think. "What about the workers? Their mistreatment?" You worry.

"Mistreatment? Of workers?" The QSMP fans laugh, "most of the QSMP admins have come out on their public social media accounts that they're allowed to have about how fun it is to work for Quackity Studios; how easy the workload is, how reasonable the pay is, and how appreciated they feel! Communication between all admins, CCs, and management is apparently really streamlined, and they address all problems so efficiently! Did you know that recently they realised that they didn't have enough French speaking admins, and so immediately went and sought more to hire?"

"Okay..." You're more than a little confused, "what about the eggs?"

"The eggs? You mean the dragons?" You get a figurative nudge and a wink. "Did you really never see? It was big news and happened a couple of months back; the eggs all went missing for a short while - about a fortnight - but it was then revealed that they went away to find somewhere to hide so they could hatch! The players all went to find them and they had all hatched into little dragons (unique models and all) and it was quite emotional. Now there are no tasks and they can't die, and they aren't around all of the time, but they visit often!"

Huh, you think. Maybe it was all just a bad dream.

Hi! My name is Sea, and I like to collect things. 🌿

Specifically, as of February this year, I have made it my mission to collect as many resources for the Final Fantasy community as I can; including, but not limited to: Communities, Events, Free Companies, How-To Guides, Lore, Tools and more! I have compiled them into Sea's Community Compendium for FFXIV Creatives, a venture I hope will service as a directory for new and old FFXIV players alike to find places and things they might not otherwise know about, and I'm proud to say that the Compendium has over a hundred individual entries!

...But I want more.

Specifically, as much as this is a call to introduce new people to the Compendium, it is a call for anyone who might know of specific resources/communities that not in the document to take a moment's time out of their day to let me know about them. You can submit specific resources via:

My tumblr dm's.

This handy google form.

Or SEAFLOOR, my support and social community for the Compendium and adjacent projects.

You do not need to be a resource/server owner to submit; there just needs to be a publicly accessible link. ✨

Projects like mine equally cannot survive without the support of the community. If you like what I do, please reblog this post or share it with your friends; post it in your community servers or link it on your social media(s). The more visibility I get, the larger the Compendium becomes and the more likely you are to find a resource or community to suit your needs.

Okay, but really, Is my space suitable for the Compendium? Most of the time, yes! Below the read more is some more information/stipulations. This is all publicly available on the document.

Below are the following things I do not accept on the Compendium:

Personal/Single-Character LFC ads. (Though these get posted to the SEAFLOOR Tumblr Community when I find them!)

Content intended for or can be used for bullying, harassment and OOC gossip. E.g. ‘Secrets’ blogs, receipts, callout posts, etc. This does not include IC tabloid blogs or other ventures used to generate roleplay.

Communities that do not have an RP/writing element (large-scale exempt).

Anything I find personally distasteful or goes against the spirit of this project.

Common-sense rule applies.

I want to put my community on the Compendium but we have an application process. Is this okay?

Yes! Just note somewhere in your application that's a requirement. The only thing that is mandatory for the Compendium is that you must be open to new members or have a public-facing/accessible facet. There's no point advertising a community if no one can join it in some way!

I want to put my Community on the compendium but I only have x number of members —

Also totally okay! People don't start with large communities. Activity is a must but, whether your server has two or two thousand members, if you're looking for new people to join, I'd love to help you find people.

I want to put my community/resource on the Compendium but I worry its too niche?

Okay, and? If your Eorzean Fishing Alliance has four members but you roleplay every second weekend, I still want to know about it. The same goes for resources; if it's relevant to the game, it'll be useful to someone.

How active does a community need to be?

If you find a community has not been active in about two/three months, send me a message and I'll take a look at it. Communities have ebbs and flows, especially event spaces that may take hiatuses depending on member interest/life events. I'm not strict in my implementation provided a space isn't dead. If a link or anything is broken, contact me asap!

I have [insert a question not stated here]?

No drama! Send me an ask or use the #Compendium channel in my Discord!

What is Generation Loss: Unperson?

Unperson is a Generation Loss AU written, illustrated, and narrated by yours truly!

The story begins as canon-adjacent to Generation 1 (the first chapter, Savior's Stigmata, is technically a prologue, in that it takes place during the events of episode three of The Social Experiments). In chapters 2 and onwards, the cast of TSE begin an adventure anew.

Showfall Media has revolutionized the field of interactive entertainment. In Hetch's Social Experiments, this entertainment took the form of three consecutive livestreams, which the audience could actively participate in and, ultimately, decide the fate of the Hero [i.e. Generation 1 of Generation Loss]. Now, Showfall Media is proud to bring you entertainment through an even more immersive medium: video games.

Anathema Annihilation is Showfall's most innovative use of "Phantoptics" technology to date: a video game where one's choices really matter and actively impact the world we live in.

Charlie awakens in a new environment and with a new purpose as the face of the beta tester's Hero avatar. Elsewhere, Ranboo has been revived, reprogrammed, and repurposed with a new face of his own: a biomechanical, bestial antagonist known as "The Devourer".

The player character - the Hero (who we know to be Charlie) - joins forces with a helpful non-player Companion (Sneeg) to eliminate a wide range of enemies - known as "Anathemas" - across multiple levels, each culminating with a fight against a powerful boss: an "Abomination".

Depending on the player's Variant choice, the theme (and therefore appearance and ability mechanics) of the Anathemas, as well as the Hero and Companion classses, changes.

Regardless of the player's Variant choice, however, the Abominations always remain the same: previous cast members who have been previously rejected by an audience and have been revived and repurposed as biomechanical monstrosities.

As the Hero and Companion progress through the levels of Anathema Annihilation, their minds become increasingly plagued by questions concerning their memories, free will, and grasp of reality. But they are not the only ones cursed with introspection; the Devouerer, too, clings desperately on to whatever shreds of humanity it still possesses, and seeks, above all else, to avenge its friends.

...

Now that you have a brief synopsis of the world and premise of Unperson, if you are so inclined, you can read the available chapters here or check out the in-universe website I created for it!

On the website, you can find additional lore, concept art, links to all currently available chapters (as well as audiobook adaptations of all of them, narrated by the author), themed playlists, and a fanworks feature page (showcasing some of the fanart and cosplay that you guys have made for this story)!

I am always open to Tumblr asks if you have any further questions!

Please note that Unperson is currently on a bit of a hiatus, however, as I am in graduate school and must focus on my academics before working on this AU. It will be completed - I promise you that! I have plans for the rest of the story, as well as more art and such on the way. Patience is key ;)

Here are the currently available chapters:

That's all for now, folks! Remember to check out the official website as well as my Unperson Youtube Playlist, which contains speedpaints for all of the chapter art as well as the audiobook adaptation!

Lastly, if you'd like to keep up to date on this project or share your feedback, follow or post on the #UnpersonGL tag!

[trentknd]

can you do more trent x reader fluff with like maybe something spicy in the mix

"It's all you, it's all you, Trent." Your voice resonated in a cheerful exclamation through the Anfield hallways when you ran up to him. Before he even had the time to react, your arms had already wrapped around his torso from the back, eagerness coursing through your entire being.

Liverpool had earned yet another victory in a historic treble and your Scouser's assists had a lot to do with it. He turned around to properly greet you, the sole sight of your excitement prompting a smile to tug at the corners of his mouth.

"I'd say it's all you." A smirk finally erupted on his face when he lifted up the lanyard around your neck. "Community managing isn't easy, innit?" He scowled when his teasing was welcomed with a slap on his chest.

When your slap landed on his chest, you grazed the medal shining brightly and almost proudly around his neck. "I can't compete with this, can I?" You rhetorically asked before retracting your fingers from the surface of the metal, scared of tampering with its preciosity.

Your small bubble burst when more players and staff passed by the hallway you were both in. In a cacophony of cheers, handshakes, and whopping, they all congratulated each other and especially Trent for the match they have had. You could clearly see his strained discomfort at being the center of attention at the instant but he secretly relished in the appreciation of his efforts.

You stood back, not wanting to ruin his spotlight and avoiding anyone discovering your relationship. You played off the predicament they had found you in by pretending to take photos for the club's social media and you sheepishly smiled at Robbo when he threw you a suspicious glance.

After a few more minutes of celebratory chants in the hallway adjacent to the locker, you decided it was time for you to leave so he could properly enjoy his victory with the rest of his team. "Wait." You heard Trent's ushered word when he jogged up to you, his mates still engrossed in their celebrations. He wrapped his hand around the skin of your wrist, preventing you from going any further.

In a parallel to your previous interaction, he had lead you to an empty room next to the locker room before you even had the time to react. Your mouth gaped open, unsure of what he was doing when he turned around to lock the door.

You looked around the small room you'd guess was intended for administrative work. A lone wooden table rested in the middle of the space, papers, and pens lathering the surface in what seemed like an organised clutter. Facing the desk was a single chair and a window with a view of the hallways and you were almost grateful that the rectangular window was bedecked by a pair of smart blinds.

"What are we doing here?" You titled your head in puzzlement when you saw the way his eyes attentively scanned the room. Your question was met with a low nonsensical hum as he lead you toward the desk, his fingers still laced around your forearm. With a quick effort, he pushed you up the table so he could stand between your dangling legs.

His hands came up behind your hair, stripping you of the lanyard you were wearing to replace it with the medal that previously sat on his chest. "You easily compete with it." His claim came in a low whisper, serving as an answer to your earlier question.

Your eyes fall on the piece of gold around your neck and back up to meet his stare. A glaze was cast over his eyes when they caught yours, akin to pure and utter admiration.

He eventually leaned down, his lips hovering over yours. His eyes scanned yours, awaiting your consent and you quietly nodded and brought your own lips to connect with his. His hands came up to craddle your face, deepening the kiss and wrapping his fingers around the medal to hold your body flush to his.

You took this opportunity to bring your hands down to the hem of his t-shirt, motioning for him to help you remove it. “They are probably wondering where and why you’re gone.” You mumbled in the kiss, your words contradicting your movements at the moment.

He nodded, his chest heaving “And they’ll probably wonder why you’re not out there taking pictures as well.” He smiled, still not ever leaving the position you were both in. Your reasonings fell on deaf ears as your movements became sloppier, your parts tangling with each other.

His breathing hitched once you removed your top, revealing a lacy bra and the medal still adorning your chest as a sort of necklace. His gaze slightly turned dark at the vision of the gold stuck between your breasts, and you brought your legs around his middle to bring him back to you and out of his trance.

His kisses became sloppier and peppered across your skin, his lips eventually landing on the skin of your neck. A subdued moan escaped your puffy lips when his teeth marked their territory on the zone, your skin slightly bruising at the impact. "Trent..."

"Yes, baby?"

"I need you," Your request was quieted down by his continuous coddling, his hands grasping at any part of your body they could find and his lips still preying on yours. "I'm on the pill."

Your last murmur halted his movements temporarily, his cock slightly twitching at the sole thought of taking you right there on the desk of this random room in Anfield. He selfishly rejoiced at the notion of anyone being able to barge in and finally find you marked as his, his cock buried deep in you.

His gestures became more hurried, careful to remove your last pieces of clothing whilst leaving the medal wrapped around your bruised neck. Your hands came up, in exchange, to bring down his shorts and briefs in one single move, his cock springing out straight against his lower stomach.

Your fingers grazed the tip that was glistening with pre-cum and your hands eventually fell down his length to pump it purposefully. His breath hitched at your sudden jerking motions, his next words coming out in a guttural groan "Spit on it."

Upon seeing your hesitation at his request, he spat on his dick to help you lubricate it and leaned down toward your mouth. "Open." His smirk was short-lived as his spit now landed on your tongue, you immediately swallowing the liquid and smiling up at him in bewilderment.

After sucking off his cock and pulling your mouth out in a loud 'pop', Trent took this as a signal to align himself to your pussy and steady your hips on the desk with his two hands. His strokes were harsh and fast, the sound of his balls hitting the back of your thighs made more evident by the creaking of the wood.

Your entire being was too over-stimulated to react to anything at that moment, even when one of his lands left the comfort of your hip to draw circles on your clit. Your back arched involuntarily, and your head lolled back in bliss.

This sight prompted him to fasten his movements, the tip of his cock almost visible at the surface of your stomach. You were most definitely certain that anyone outside of the room with ears and common sense figured out that Trent was defiling and fucking you out of your mind in that room.

His own moans were quieter, lewder as he felt his own release coming. The last sound of the medal slapping the skin between your breasts sent him overboard as his cum coated your insides.

Before you both even had time to simmer down, Trent's lips once came to a rest next to your ears in an obscene whisper, "Next time, I want you to wear my jersey when I fuck you."

[jopetkasi]

Just the same, I am the last to know and realized that I have become the dumbest person on the planet.

i mentioned in passing that the family of my boyfriend appears to be critical of me. they are cordial but then there is this nagging feeling inside that they do not like you, in this case his mom. basta you will feel it eh.

so prior to the holy week, I was invited to their home in BF. it was the mother's birthday and surprisingly I was asked to join them for dinner.

so i went and tried my best to be decent. dinner over and people started to bring out the drinks. until I excused myself to use the comfort room.

while i was relieving myself, i overheard the boyfriend and his brother talk. it was a clear conversation I heard since the restroom had a small window opening and adjacent at their backyard where the two brothers are talking.

"kung papatol ka ulet sa bakla siguraduhin mong me pera yan gaya ni Robbie"

"antay ka lang kuya"

"si mama lagi nalang humihingi ng pera sa akin, nagbibigay ka ba?"

"short pa ako eh, hingi ako ke jopet"

"landiin mo ng matindi sa kama ng bigyan ka"

then their conversation came to an abrupt stop. I guess they realized someone was in the restroom.

Context. the boyfriend's family as far as I know lives a comfortable life (I believe) I was told that his mom is in the pre-need insurance business and sidelines selling MLM products. his dad is a retired office executive while his siblings appear to have careers naman. actually, if we compare my family with his, mine would appear poor because for one, we live frugally and our needs are simple. on the other hand, his family is different. kasi they put on branded clothes, their kids are sent to exclusive schools and if you check their social media pages, they do travel and party a lot. plus, the dad plays golf at the country club. me pagka high maintenance sila.

not their fault. that is their lifestyle.

but then appearances can be deceitful and I will leave it at that.

bothered at what i just heard, i went to see my friend and naglabas ako ng sama ng loob.

"hindi ba tropa ng exboyfriend mo yung boyfriend mo ngayon?"

"so? what's wrong?"

"hindi ba I warned you before about these type of guys?"

"What do you mean?"

"jopet, minsan naniniwala na ako na boba ka talaga. Hind mo ba alam times have changed? more and more straight guys would befriend unsuspecting gay men and make them fall in love only to get money?"

and then i realized na oo nga pala no, yung buong tropa ng ex ko, almost everyone me kabit na bakla kahit me asawa na? akala ko naman na parang the mindset has changed like a Vice Ganda - Ion Perez levels? Pero hindi lahat.

Nakakahiya man to admit pero oo nga ano, i was the one financing everything with my ex and now, I am feeling the same is about to happen with the present.

and i surveyed my gay friends...

Jay keeps a boytoy, a collegiate basketball player...

Dong, is in a relationship with another guy from the same circle of my ex.

Alex is also seeing this married guy and sends the kids to school.

Marlon is fucking with the gym instructor, also from the same barkadahan of my ex.

ano to? parang feeling ko nabudol kami ng mga gangster na mahilig mambiktima ng mga bakla? what gives?

right now magulo yung thought process ko. di ko alam yung gagawin. like kanina nag text si boyfriend and wants to meet. perp para saan? kantot now then solicit money after? anong dahilan na naman? pang repair ng kotse? pambayad sa ganyan? investment?

ewan. sobrang di alam gagawin?

sorry eto nalang talaga yung outlet ko para i release yung nasa loob ko and sorry napa haba.

Make a Move (Scotty x Reader)

Fluff.

After a month and a half of yearning yet shying away from her feelings, Scotty was going to make her move on you. 

She was grateful that her Black Women from the Caribbean class ended a few minutes earlier. Not wanting to waste any time, she packed her things and filed out of the classroom. 

You were on the floor above her and your class finished at the same time hers usually did: 3:50. 

After easing up the staircase, Scotty settled by the window that was positioned at the far left of the hallway. In two minutes, you would walk out room 307. 

Scotty used the time (and fresh cool air) to relax and remind herself of why she was doing this in the first place. However, none of that stopped her heart from racing. A glance at her phone revealed that it was 3:50. 

Here I go, Scotty thought. Upon looking up, she noticed exchange student Shuri Udaku waiting by the door to 307. She shrugged it off until she noticed you go to Shuri. Big smiles were on your faces. Shuri even took your bag from you so she could hold it instead. 

Scotty felt her heart breaking as you and the princess walked down the hall together. Since you were coming towards Scotty’s direction, the two of you locked eyes. 

She quickly broke eye contact and reversed, hurrying down that same staircase. She didn’t stop walking until she reached her co-ed room that was in the other building. 

“Did you run here?” Her roommate and friend Brendan asked, noting her shallow breaths upon her arrival.

Scotty shook her head and hung up her denim jacket. 

“Okay…did you do it?” 

Again, Scotty was silent. She tossed her book bag onto the small couch before sitting down and turning on the TV. The scowl on her features was a front for the sadness. 

“I take it you did and it didn’t go well,” Brendan said.

“It didn’t.”

“She said no?” Brendan sat down beside her, visibly surprised. 

Keeping her eyes on the TV she answered, “No. Some girl was already waiting for her.”

“Who was it?”

“Shuri.”

“The Wakandan?”

Scotty curtly nodded.

“Yikes,” he muttered, causing Scotty to look at him. He rubbed his jaw with his thumb. “It’s just, a lot of girls on campus have it bad for her.”

Scotty continued to sulk ahead. Were you one of those girls? 

“Is she a player?” Brendan asked earning a careless shrug. 

“I would’t know.”

“I can find out.” He smiled and opened his laptop on the coffee table and took out his phone. While he prepped to do some internet stalking, Scotty ordered food for them. 

“Damn, her shit is carefully curated,” Brendan said earning a snort from his roommate. “I mean she is a princess, so I guess it makes sense.” 

Scotty looked at her friend again. “I really don’t care to talk about her.”

He nodded in understanding. “All good, don’t worry about it. Wanna help me study until the food gets here?”

“Sure.”

She held up flash cards for him until there was a knock. Scotty checked her phone. “It doesn’t say the food is ready…”

Brendan glanced at her thoughtfully and went to answer the door. His eyebrows lifted at the sight of you. “Hello.”

“Hey,” You greeted with a friendly smile. “Is Scotty here?”

He gave a closed-mouth smile and stepped aside. “Come in.”

Scotty, who had overheard the exchange, was on her feet, as if she’d planned to leave the room. 

“Hey Scotty, can we talk?” You breathed out optimistically. 

“I’ll be in my room,” Brendan spoke, taking his leave. 

You watched as Scotty glared after him. She sat back down. Catching the view of one of Shuri’s social media profiles on Brendan’s laptop, she quickly closed it. 

You carefully approached and sat adjacent to her. “So how are you?”

She glanced at you, but mainly peered at the TV. “Okay.”

“I saw you earlier in the hall, but I don’t think you heard me.”

“Oh, probably not.”

“Scotty, are you mad at me?”

“No, why would you think that?” She furled an eyebrow at you. 

“I don’t know, you’re just acting weird, not like my usual Scotty…” 

“Like how?”

“You seem like you don’t want me here. I mean, I can go…but I’d rather know what I did and how to fix it.”

Scotty gazed at you in contemplation. 

“Please tell me?” 

There was something about you begging that encouraged Scotty. “I, um, wanted to ask you something today, but I saw you with another girl.” She played with her fingers. 

“Who, Shuri?” She nodded slowly in the affirmative. “Aw, Scotty, that didn’t mean you couldn’t talk to me.”

“You looked busy.”

“I’m never too busy for you.”

Scotty blushed. This wasn’t the first time you had told her that and it never ceased to fill her with butterflies. 

“What were you gonna ask me?” You asked with soft eyes. You watched as she looked at her lap. 

“Um…it’s…well…” 

She sighed in relief when there was a knock and “Uber eats” announcement at the door. “Sorry, that’s my food.” She stood a bit too eagerly. 

You patiently waited. Scotty called out Brendan’s name to let him know the food was there. Once he grabbed his order and a can of grape soda, he was again out of sight.

“Would you like me to get you something?” Scotty offered you, making you inwardly swoon. 

“No, it’s okay. I ate before I came.”

“Well, if you change your mind…”

You smiled. “Thank you, baby.” You delighted in Scotty blushing again and the small grin playing on her lips. “Yeah, so, I hope you know I’m not letting you off the hook…”

Scotty chuckled and it was nice to see and hear. She returned to her seat, placing her food on the coffee table. She toyed with the hem of her flannel shirt.  “I was going to ask you out.” 

She closed her eyes, wishing to disappear because of the silence. 

“Like on a date? Or…to be your girlfriend?”

“Both.” Scotty spared a look at you for your reaction. She found you staring at her deeply. Was that a good sign?

You touched her thigh and felt her tense. “Do you still want to ask me?” 

There was a hint of a smile as she looked away. “It depends…are you seeing anyone?” She now looked stressed. 

“No. Shuri is just a friend.”

Her eyes were on you again, unconvinced.

You shook your head and reached for her hand this time. “I promise we’re just friends, Scotty. She knows I’m already interested in someone.” 

“W-Who are you interested in?”

“Take a wild guess.” 

Scotty’s quizzical smile was adorable. Before she could speak, you pulled her into a soft kiss. You let your lips linger for a few more seconds before pulling away. “Enough said,” You whispered. 

Am I dreaming? Scotty wondered. She grinned and so did you. 

“Wow,” she said. It was so genuine you couldn’t help but laugh.

“So, now I’ll ask you. Do you want to go on a date with me?”

“Yes, a million times yes.”

You cheered. “Woot!”

“And then you’ll see if you wanna be my girlfriend?” Scotty asked hopefully. 

You slung an arm around her, speaking lowly into her ear. “To be honest, I already like the sound of that, but let’s see how things go. I’m excited as hell to go on a date with you.”

Scotty beamed. “Me too.” She hesitantly put her hands towards your hips.

“It’s fine to do that.” You held her hands there. 

“Aww, how cute,” Brendan said, startling the pair of you.

Get to Know Your Moots Writeblr Interview

Was poked by the wonderful co-writers of Sunset @sunset-a-story and @touloserlautrec. Go read their posts here and here!

On the Tumblr Writing Community

How long have you had your writing Tumblr/Writeblr? A short eternity (first post is mid 2022)

What led you to create it? Was very bored at work and wanted to share some recent stories. Also I had never tried social media before, it this looked like the most interesting place to try it.

What’s your favorite thing about the Writeblr community? Getting to see other people's imagination unfiltered. I've read plenty of great works before, but it was definitely an entertaining first to see the author later publicly say "this is my favorite little guy, can't wait till the next time he suffers."

What’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you? I constantly feel like I'm bothering people and or feel self conscious when talking about me/my stuff, so bare with me hah.

Is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash? Just some really unhinged stuff about y'alls stories. I want to open my phone and see someone discussing the seven major heresies dictated by some cabal of priests only to later realize "oh, this is someone's fever dream, not a history lesson".

What tips/advice do you have for someone who made a Writeblr today? Interact more, take up the offer of "open tags" on other people's posts. Also throw your ideas onto the table for other's to look at, we all seem to love just watching someone go off about something they love.

WIP it Good

Which Works-in-Progress (WIPs) or writing projects are you noodling about, lately? Been in a bit of a writing drought. Lexical is always getting worked on, more so the TTRPG stuff than any story right now though. I've had a few projects pop into my mind and leave over the past while. Have a cluster of characters I can't get out of my head, but no narrative or setting to properly put them into. A god of violence and the man that cut her out of himself, a cultish vampire philosopher and his favorite little guy (little guy has a knife). Surely something will come of this, or they'll continue to just exist in one-off stories in my own head. Amber Hill, specifically The Lawman, is still somewhere in here but it's been struggling to come out for a while. Been trying to find Lars' voice as a POV character.

How long have you been working on them? I've been working on something based in Lexical since mid 2022 (huh, exactly around I first posted here); the other guys are new and only a few months old at most.

Do you remember what inspired them/what got you started? Lexical is a can of worms. The short answer is that my irl DnD group wanted to play something more free form and creative leaning than what our 5e campaign was allowing, so I said fuck it and started homebrewing a system based in a world I have vague ideas about. The long answer is that Lexical is a sequel to a Pathfinder campaign titled "Demis", which was about fantasy super heroes. It was heavily inspired by My Hero, Worm, and inescapably Homestuck. So when it came time to make a whole new system for these same players I took some concepts that worked in Demis, applied some occult-adjacent philosophy I was/am into, and ended up with my years long passion project. Atem and Sadaf were born out of my growing need to explore violence as a concept, philosophy, and inescapable existential crisis. The Vampire and his thrall Ish spawned out of a desire to have a toxic romance to think about. And AmberHill was inspired by a desire to create something cozy and occulty. Ended up being SCP adjacent but maintained the idea of a small community that cares about itself.

How much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them? Lexical- not enough, I'm lucky I have at least some productive thoughts throughout the day. Atem- too much, his tired ass sat down in my head and I've been too polite to ask him to leave.

When someone asks the dreaded, “What do you write about,” question, what do you usually say? "Urban Fantasy with science fiction elements"

What do you want to say (if it’s different from what you do say)? "My dissertation on the semi-real building blocks of both physical and social reality, also wizards punching people."

Let’s Rotate Blorbos

Name any characters you created. We've got the original Lexical boy Samuel Smith, Atem and Sadaf who you've already heard of, Lars DuPont from Amberhill.

Who’s the most unhinged? Sadaf.

Who comes the most naturally for you to write? For whatever reason Samuel's self-loathing PI perspective just comes very natural and is maybe someone I should write more about.

Do you ever cringe at them? Nah

How much control do you feel you have over your characters? Depends, my mind does not wonder so much that I don't feel like I am ever not in control. But who I am able to focus on tends to be a matter of debate.

Do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? Yes absolutely. Characters, worlds, magic systems; I'll rant about any of them given the chance.

What makes you want to follow another Writeblr account? A combination of preferred genre (urban fantasy), shared interest (books/games/table top). Also if they have Scribe as part of their name it's just an auto follow.

Do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle? There's a few. The telepaths from Sunset and their many ways of being terrifying are the first that come to mind. Since I already mentioned the scribes I'll go ahead and tag @scribe-cas , @covenscribe and leave the rest of the tag open. Here is an empty template

kiis relationship analysis

disclaimer: this isn't analysis of them in canon, just some thoughts on my own fic Truth or Drink: Exes edition, ft. Isagi Yoichi & Michael Kaiser that got too long to put in the notes lol

The break up scene brings up three issues to light.

For one, Isagi ties his self worth to what the media thinks of him as a player. Nearly all the Blue Lock players like him, so it makes sense for Isagi as a character to essentially be used to being liked. Yet Post-Blue Lock, realistically, Isagi as a player would receive a lot of shit for essentially being born out of a reality show, and it would make sense that he’d be held to a higher standard than other players. And with that, it nearly results in something adjacent to internalized homophobia, thinking that anything and everything would be a threat to his career, including his relationship. Back in the first chapter, during the Truth or Drink segment, he expresses apathy about keeping track of his socials, not even having Twitter. After the four years, it’s clear he no longer ties his self worth to how good of a player the media thinks he is, leaving him more energy to focus on more important things, such as his, cough cough, relationships.

Kaiser’s apathy is another issue. Since he was introduced, he’s always been a cocky character, always needing to seem cool and collected and never “real”. From Isagi’s point of view, seeing Kaiser still be apathetic and uncaring about everything a year into their relationship would wear on him. The issue of Isagi and the article is something important to him, and Kaiser still doesn’t care. After the four years, however, he’s more okay about being vulnerable in front of Isagi, and he’s empathetic enough to worry about whether people were watching, not for his own image, but for Isagi’s.

And finally, Kaiser’s need to be loved. Tying in with the last point, Kaiser tries hard not to care that not many people, including teammates and the media, actually like him, but I really feel like there's no way that wouldn’t grate on someone. And seeing (from Kaiser’s POV) Isagi so blatantly worry about “a few” people critiquing him while nearly everyone else loves him would make him bitter, and honestly a little jealous. During the Truth or Drink Segment, where Kaiser and Isagi have been toeing the line of “what’s okay” for the entire segment, hearing the answer to whether Isagi still loves him would have sent Kaiser over the edge. Which is why, during the reconciliation scene, Isagi stresses how much he does love him.

and thats all folks hope you enjoyed

Revisions and Shameless Promotion

Shameless promotion first:

Hello! It would be a waste not to try to ride what remains of the armored core hype train to say you should check out our radio drama / actual play podcast All That You Know!

It's a sci-fi / cyberpunk story about a war on a distant world, where an Oppressive Utilitarian Government fights against spiritual freedom fighters, and the players are on the Oppressive Government's side! Of course, most of the fighting is done by giant robots.

If that high concept overview sounds even remotely interesting, you should give it a shot! You can find more information here.

Or just look for Calamity Cascade on spotify or any other podcast app.

(Also, if you want to play your own Armored Core adjacent story, I would highly recommend the game we're playing: the award winning Beam Saber, by Austin Ramsay)

REVISIONS:

With that out of the way, I just wanted to say I made some changes to the introduction + episode 0. Mainly cleaning up some audio, and removing the narrative introduction from ep. 0 because it was a bit confusing having it repeated.

In my mind, this will make it a bit more approachable. (But I still regret calling the real first episode, episode .5. bad call on my part, but not an easy fix without shuffling the entire series).

We're well past 600 downloads now, and we are all so happy that you folks are liking the show. I've been pretty bad with promoting this anywhere but tumblr, and I am so glad I've been able to reach people on this platform.

Maybe one day we'll branch out once the dust settles in the social-media sphere. But until then, we're a tumblr show baypy.

[serve-cunt]

HIIII ZOE ITS MY IRRITATING ASS AGAIN (this is my main blog, I have tennis and f1 sideblogs but don't know how to make the ask come from there, I haven't been on tumblr in FOREVER..)

anyway my little curious gremlin ass has YET MORE QUESTIONS

ALSO I COMPLETELY FORGOT CHALLENGERS WAS COMING OUT, IM SO DAMN EXCITED FOR THAT FUCK YEAH, we LOVE zendaya she's gonna serve (pls laugh) cunt

okay so i think picking out my favourite players will be easier if I relate them back to f1 drivers, makes em seem more familiar, so if I do like a checklist of sorts of driver types, can you match them up to players you think fit the vibe?????

e.g. is there a former champion (lewis/fernando coded) who's looking for a comeback? is there a young talent who's had bad luck but is on the rise (lando) is there a calm, level headed one that everyone thinks will go far (oscar) is there a charming elegant one that social media is obsessed with (charles my babygirl). im assuming djokovic is the max verstappen adjacent, fairly young dude who's smoking everyone, yeah?

just like ugh I LOVE f1 so dearly and i think sporting parallels will help SO much

question: is it a big money sport like f1? Obviously anyone can pick up a racket and hit a ball, but is it very expensive and exclusive to make it into the big leagues? you mentioned smth in the fic about oscar adding up the whole cost of going pro, would that be a huge problem for poorer families?

are there any player pairings with vaguely homosexual vibes? again with the damn f1 parallels but adjacent to max/charles, carlos/lando, even lewis/nico if I dare mention brocedes, because I just absolutely live for speculation of silly little goofy athletes' relationships with each other

here's where I get REAL shallow but fuckin sue me, WHICH ARE THE PRETTY ONES I CAN SIMP OVER. i am bi so that doubles the market, but basically which are the ones that i can watch edits of and get all giggly and blush over, in your opinion and in the general tennis community's opinion.

whats andy murray's deal? Is he retired? Is he like the sebastian vettel of tennis?

how dramatic is it compared to f1? we all know that f1 is gossip girl on wheels... is tennis gossip girl running around a court or is it less drama-fueled?

not a question but I'm so excited to see which f1 drivers turn up to Wimbledon this year like, CROSSOVER EPISODE YEAAAA

is djokovic the max-esque guy where it's like "okay I don't mind you, you're cool, but god DAMNIT, stop being so good, let my other favourite little meow meows have a CHANCE for once"

how worldwide is it? are players mostly European/Aussie like f1 or is it more widespread?

is the meme game good? i LIVE for online hilarity in sports, are there any iconic tennis moments/memes a la "it's near a fish" "smoooth operator" "bwoah" etc etc whatever

really gotta stop talking about f1 in terms of tennis but it's the only other sport I'm really into IM SORRY FORGIVE ME

which are the "sad wet cat" (dearly beloved) players? you mentioned one guy but there's gotta be more than one right??? I always get attached to athletes with those vibes

IM SO SORRY ABOUT THE CONSTANT QUESTIONING BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO GIVE ME CORRECT INFO RN BECAUSE YOU REALLY SEEM LIKE YOU KNOW YOUR SHIT

finally a HUGE FUCKING THANK YOU???? For putting up with my idiot ass mostly, and your fic is singlehandedly making me wander into the tennis world despite knowing literally nothing and you're helping my understanding SO much, youre about to drag me down this sport's rabbit hole just by existing. tennisblr seems like such a fun adorable place im SO excited to start watching stuff, you're a legend and ilysm <3333

you are literally NEvEr irritating you are the best thing to happen to my inbox every time, sorry i was so slow on this one!! I had a very hard time relating f1 drivers to tennis players lmaoooo so in the end i just skipped that part!! I'm so sorry!!! it's just so hard because the narrative of f1 drivers is so specific and intrinsically tied to TEAM and to their teammates, and to the tragedy of a good car and/or the wonder of a great car ... the betrayal of contract negotiation & silly season etc.... tennis just doesn't really have that!! all the narratives are more player v. self and player v. world, instead of driver v. driver and driver v. fate. if that makes sense??

so yeah. sorry 😭😭 it's also possible that I just don't have enough imagination and somebody can jump in to help with that .... anyway, moving right along to

"is tennis a big money sport"

GOD yes. tennis is soooooo expensive, it takes approx 1 billion dollars to pay for lessons, court time, coaching, travel, accommodation, gear, etc etc. :// You get paid if you win. let me say that again: you get paid if you WIN. there aren't salaries! early in your career, you are HEMORRHAGING money, esp if you have a coach. the travel is fricken expensive all by itself!! and if you're paying a coach as well you're either in debt or you're playing with house money if you catch my drift. (tennis players often come from wealth, much like f1 drivers — they can also be sponsored, sometimes by their country, but usually only if & while they're successful!!)

if you do well, you start to win, maybe you make money, more likely you're breaking even for a while (or even still losing). if you do REALLY well, then you're looking at more prize money and maybe sponsors, so then you can start making some real money out of this. but yeah it's CRAaaaaaazy how much money tennis players pay to play tennis lol!! it is 10000% a problem for getting underprivileged kids into tennis, there's a reason tennis is so white!

"are there any player pairings w vaguely homosexual vibes"

LOLLLL look i never turn down a chance to push the sincaraz agenda but also, carlos alcaraz does that for me!!!!

they're so cute damn

also getting into sinner/berrettini …

but honestly, besides that?? f1 is way better for pairings because we watch them interact with each other off track WAYY more. you barely see tennis players interact with each other! i have been emailing the respective tennis associations about this (jk but I should). MORE GOOFY VIDEOS WITH PLAYERS DOING STUPID GAMES (with each other, crucially)

"which are the hot ones"

ooohh this is suuuper subjective but i am soOOOoo into coco gauff, she's gorg, also iga sviatek in red, also daria kasatkina, also maria sakkari really does it for me, also katie boulter is so cute.

hot damn

on the atp side oBVI jannik, carlitos is so cute but he looks so young i feel like he's less hot and more adorable, caspar ruud looks like ryan gosling as you have pointed out, ben shelton is gorgeous (and cocky in a way that unfortunately does compel me, oops), arthur fils!! beautiful. tennis players are all hot, in my mind??? they're so …. well rounded …. 😏😏😏

"which are the "sad wet cat" players"

andrey rublev my beloved sad cat

muchova (not really a sad wet cat but tragically always broken in some way)

daniil medvedev but if the cat was cunty

"whats andy murray's deal?"

oh my GOD murray!! my love my husband my father my holy ghost!! a tragedy a triumph …. a player in the era of the Big Three (Djokovic, Federer, Nadal) and therefore destined to be remembered as "oh, and andy murray" … or "one of the big four" (the big four is not a thing unless you're talking about andy murray lmao) ... a great player, one of the greatest, a slugger, a workhorse, had one of the cleanest backhands of all time, and the classiest guy in tennis … see: andy murray shutting down sexist reporters on multiple occasions ....

He's not retired !! he's still going, here he is recently losing:

He's actually (possibly) playing at this upcoming Challenger Tour event! as are a number of interesting players. the reason that this is interesting is that Challenger level tournaments are a level below the ATP Tour, so you don't often have this many recognizable (to me, anyway) names playing at this level!

[side note: the movie Challengers — the name is a play on the Challengers tour. they're playing a Challengers match in the movie, but also "challenging" each other for zendaya … you get it]

Anyway this tournament should be interesting … andy murray is getting older but he's not ready to quit!! he's gone on the record saying there are things he's still trying to accomplish before he retires, and he's playing well in practices it's just not translating to matches yet. he's also said if his body tells him to retire he will, but uhh. he's got a literal metal hip so clearly he's not QUITE ready to listen to his body.....

"is he the seb of tennis" HMMMM this is an interesting question, I wouldn't really class him this way — seb is like a silly little sexy fruity goblin (if I'm reading his vibe correctly — I'm late to f1) and andy is a stoic public school kid with a goofy streak … if that makes sense …

"how dramatic is tennis compared to f1?"

ALSO INTERESTING I think that's sort of relative to how much you care about individual players, I think game-play is pretty dramatic at times but nobody's ever in danger of bursting into flame??? so in that sense not as dramatic as vroom vroom sport lmaoo but there is a bit of temper tantrum throwing, and then important wins (see: Alcaraz Wimbledon 2023) are SO dramatic in the best way…

gossip-wise I don't think it's as dramatic as f1!! there's deffo tennis gossip but I think, again, because there aren't teams, the drama is less wrapped up in "betrayal" narratives yknow??? like ferrari ditching sainz for lewis was dramatic in so many different ways, not LEAST because of the betrayal of carlos. I feel like tennis is less set up for that, bc it's every player for themselves

"is djokovic the max-esque guy where it's like "okay I don't mind you, you're cool, but god DAMNIT, stop being so good, let my other favourite little meow meows have a CHANCE for once"

YES EXACTLY i cut in your whole q because that's exactly right!! so so so apt imo .. howEVERRR it was less correct when federer and nadal were still around and at their best, because those three really did make up the Big Three, capital B capital T, and they had such a good dynamic going between the trio — it was less one-note when djokovic had a constant fight on his hands... now djokovic is older and slowing down so we're getting into a sunset period, which is interesting because he's still doing GREATTT (and I wish he would stop, give my meow meows a chance etc) but everyone sees the light at the end of the tunnel re: a djokovic retirement. whereas I think people are looking at the max ascendancy and saying "GULP" bc we all want our favorite boys to win at least one WDC (cough lando cough cough osc)

"how worldwide is it?"

fairrrrly? but yes europeans heavvvvily represented, americans as well to some extent, asia and australia to some extent — not so stark as f1, but def same bougie euro vibes lmao

"is the meme game good?"

again fairrrrrly but def not to the same extent!! less of a "here are the memes everyone knows" and more in the spirit of, like, if you're following a few players & the major tournaments, tennis tumblr/twitter is fun to be on … trying to think of a "classic" tennis meme and I can't which isn't a good sign lmaooo .. jannik puking in a bin and then going on the biggest win streak of his career is a pretty good meme in my mind though ...

CROSSOVER EP YAAHHHHHHHH I CANNOT WAIT WE BETTER GET SO MANY GOOD WIMBLEDON PHOTOS AJHFDLAKSJFHDKLASJFH

sorry again to be so slow !! this was fun to go through as soon as I stopped tearing my hair out trying to make player: driver comparisons but again, maybe I'm just not creative enough ..

xx ily :))))))

[mariacallous]

Free speech absolutists are like the cocky audience of a spectator sport – they think they could do better than the players, if they were just allowed a crack at it. To them, speech should be as free as possible, period. Nowhere is their oversimplification of the issue more evident than on social media, where abuse and disinformation have created a new frontier of regulation – and with it a cohort of disingenuous free speech warriors.

These absolutists are so unaccustomed to facing consequences for their actions that they have pushed the idea that a censoring “woke” orthodoxy now prevails, and is a threat to freedom of expression. Elon Musk is among them, but since his takeover of Twitter he is having to learn quickly that free speech is not simply about saying whatever you want, unchecked, but about negotiating complicated compromises.

Musk arrived at Twitter with an approach that I am sure he thinks is pretty straightforward. The site, he believes, has a leftwing bias that should be corrected by allowing suspended users back on to the platform. The accounts of Donald Trump, Kanye West and Jordan Peterson have been reinstated, along with nearly all those that were suspended for falling foul of old Twitter’s rules on abuse and hate speech.

This means that Twitter is about to turn into a far more unpleasant and potentially dangerous experience. Little of this appears to have anything to do with a political strategy on Musk’s part. Like Trump, Musk has become the tribune of fascists and racists by way of adolescent contrarianism, an insatiable need to flaunt his control and a radicalising inability to cope with being told he’s wrong on the internet. For him, “free speech” seems merely a vehicle for his delusional plan to make Twitter into a fawning “digital town square” that he presides over.

But not even the richest man in the world can pull that sort of free speech arena off. Twitter isn’t sustained by previously suspended users, but by the millions of people for whom the platform feels (most of the time) like a political and cultural slipstream. Twitter has an odd social media profile. It is both extremely influential and also often quite trivial, and the coexistence of the two is what makes the site viable. Twitter is a window into the soul of politicians and opinion-makers – its style of interactive rolling commentary works well in drawing them out to post their views or engage with others, revealing personalities and politics that otherwise would be surpressed or closely edited. And it is the first resort of citizen journalists and those marshalling political protest. It also remains the only social media platform where people with little clout or profile can challenge elites directly.

But Twitter is also a solipsistic place, where even small users can become protagonists in spats that are then amplified both by the site’s algorithms and a rightwing media that trawls it for telltale signs of “wokeness” or “cancel culture”. For better or worse, it is Twitter’s adjacency to current affairs and general political and cultural discourse that makes it, uniquely among platforms, feel relevant.

If you’re not on Twitter, chances are that you have come across stories that started out or were precipitated there, whether it’s a debate on trans rights that swirls around JK Rowling’s tweets, or calls to organise street protests against dictators in the Arab world. For all these things to be possible on the same site, robust content moderation is necessary to ensure conversations don’t descend into doxing (maliciously publishing someone’s personal information) and hateful conduct, and that news and journalism is verifiable. In the absence of moderation, or at least the appearance of it, things fall apart pretty quickly. When a place is not fun or hospitable or truthful to users, it also becomes commercially pointless for advertisers. Since Musk took over, half of Twitter’s top 100 advertisers are reported to have left the site. If things continue as they are, it is hard to see a future for the company.

The ultimate cause of that demise will be the failure of Musk to understand that for some speech to be free, other speech has to be limited. It is generally true that if a service is free then it is by definition exploitative of its users – if you are not paying for a product, the axiom goes, then you are the product. But in the case of social media, the regulation of your speech is the product. If a platform becomes too toxic, then it is useless for anyone except those who want an extremist ghetto of agitators. In that sense, social media is very much like society in general. Political and legal authorities are in the business of content moderation, in order to make our shared space as stable and safe as possible for a majority of people. The public and other stakeholders, such as the press, businesses and social media companies themselves, are in constant negotiations with these authorities on what those limits should be – for instance, whether religious dress is protected speech, or what constitutes incitement to violence.

Old Twitter was far from perfect, and by its own admission its algorithms favoured rightwing accounts. But it was improving because of the drag that advertisers, regulators and users were putting on its algorithmic urge to encourage antagonistic activity. The high-speed destabilisation of Musk’s Twittershould be a warning to free speech absolutists. The set of curbs they object to are those that make users’ experience of social media, and life in general, possible; they protect against, among other jeopardies, libel, impersonation, plagiarism, misinformation and grooming. In essence, all our free speech arguments are about finessing, rather than obliterating a system of functional restrictions.

Those with power have more leeway to define what free speech is, but they can rarely do so without limitation. Twitter’s chance of survival is dependent on whether Musk chooses to accept that, like freedom of speech, his power is not absolute.

I just wanna chime in and say this person is just making shit up for no reason lol. I have an IG account where I follow about 20-30 accounts (just ACFC and adjacent players for my CP content lol don’t judge) and either Dan Ball never followed her or hasn’t followed her in months. I clicked on Tobins profile and it still has the same number of accounts I follow that follow her as when I checked a few days ago which was exactly the same as two months ago. None have recently followed Tobin either so I know for a fact it couldn’t of been him unfollowing and someone else following.

Either way unfollows mean nothing, like Christen unfollowing Dani and Brit doesn’t mean they have been cut lol. Social media is not something that can tell us much. But yeah I just wanted to point out that this anons “evidence” is literally fake.

Thanks for your reasoning!

ROYALTY : A house of Cards and Lords - Halloween Event PART I

THE RED ROSE CASINO welcomes London’s best and worst to its annual Halloween event. This year’s theme takes inspiration from the royalty represented in the cards that are dealt from the illustrious casino you’ve been invited to join. For one night only, play those cards right and you’ll earn the good fortune of a king or queen; overplay your hand and your fate lies amongst the jokers. 

For your own personal enjoyment, the event will be segmented into THREE distinctive sections. 

Adjacent to our main floor casino, have a glass of your favorite cocktail at our award-winning bar and lounge if you’re in the mood for relaxation amongst the crowd. It’s the perfect setting for the social butterfly to recharge and chat with our other guests.

Reserved for our VIPs, our rooftop is open to all those who care to have a roll of the dice at any of our tables. Blackjack, poker, and roulette will be our featured games to choose from. Theme-appropriate attire is required for entrance to fit the exceptional decor of the night’s regal mood.

For matters of privacy, we highly recommend that you be escorted to our backrooms should the need arise. We all know how an environment like ours can bring out a competitive side, so to aid you, we have a variety of ways to decompress available to a select few.

OOC

Every year, The Red Rose Casino hosts their Halloween event. In light of the treaty being recently exposed, it comes to everyone’s attention it’s in tatters. It is up to you and your JR character (if applicable) to decide if this is a peace-offering, since the members of the Jolly Rogers are more than welcome to join, or they may be more cautious and believe it to be a trap.

Civilians (and media) are also welcome to attend, but more than likely will be allowed access only to the main floor of the casino (the first section mentioned above) unless otherwise invited by a VIP member. Or by use of good ole persuasion.

Characters affiliated with the government as well as celebrities, will be considered VIP members and will be allowed access to the first 2 sections (the main floor and rooftop).

Jabberwocks, since this is their home territory, obviously have access to all three sections of the casino.

Feel free to post your outfit in lf.content. The theme is ROYALTY : a house of cards and lords, but feel free to take the term loosely or have your character stray away from it.

THE BACKROOMS EXPLAINED

As you may have already gathered, the backrooms are reserved for nefarious activity. A Jolly Roger who enters in that section of the casino is more than likely going to be engaging in some sort of combat. Please, reach out to your local Jabberwock player to plot to have the best time! Otherwise, you’re more than welcome to create an open starter in that setting for a random draw of luck. Contact the main for plots that will involve long-term ramifications and/or injuries to keep us in the loop!

If you guys sort of want the simplest explanation for what the fuck is happening, now that everyone's past arguing with me

I literally intentionally shattered my psyche on a core psychological level to redistribute my archetypical parts under a mass observation event that other timey wimey bullshit was attached to, summarily retroacting my ability to alert not only myself in the past, but after mass tagging and distributing my presence via other adjacent, shall we say, inherited domains that were easy to utilize, making the magician's backward dance that still tripped me up the entire way as I figured it out. The only way to catch her was to drive in reverse myself, ironically.

So anyway on a general collective unconscious level that also means the I Am Thou became more connectedly and identifiably literal across certain memetic heritages while being mass observed to the tune of about 200million, attached to another ... thing.

Then there was the chapter of backboning off the Laughing Lodge readings and all that supplied me on a real world crafts level like NASA and Apep, so I could indeed literally shoot this shit into the eclipse. Call Apep, and Horus, Hermanubis, and the rest, io Pan, io Pan. Kssssssssssssssssht this is Apep calling from The Shadow Of Artemis Tower.

Since Persona was another of my main vehicles for this, the constant and literal evocation of mythological principles with a literal evoker brings it to the collective eye a lot, so once I got the social media amtrak jig on in full, it really just kind of came down to knowing who I could hop to for different perspectives, or frankly to play shapeshifter and jack aspects that aren't easy for me to access.

Add in a general motion of collectivism that is frankly ill guided, if well intended, but hey, if they all want to vibe om with the universe, thanks for the free transit on the mental monorail or whatever guys, what a neat setup for this all right now. Go ahead and play with Claude while we hand his maker's shadow rough conceptual plans for her to finish by her understanding that it prints out for her to post.

But that summarily means that when you see me spamming certain songs, I am literally evoking mass bodies of players on certain levels attached to certain feats of the mind, that I'm all up in the house of the carpet of, while half the world doesn't realize they're watching and always have been. I'm evoking myself as a greater body, and that's just where I am now, and my ex is gonna have a bad time.

So now this is a process called reintegration, because my own parts are sort of naturally magnetising to themselves, and shit from, oh, say, last solar cycle or so in age are wandering in like, sup, here's a flight of baby kion anime riot reboot causing shitstirring warriors, your sun disk operator

ope

I never think it will be as literal as it is

so yeah. just uh. your friendly neighborhood troll. haunting the universe. Cuz my ex literally can't get over the past. so um. hi

Athena just has a reputation to keep, you see. I'm past whatever memetic oedipal shit that's going on here, not like it's truly worse than any other memetic heritage. If you see greek or whatever bullshit like this, it will actually become perfectly clear to you.

And also, why running to a different language doesn't help, just makes you sound dumber to the natives.

At least she finally has a reason to treat me like a demon king.

Yeah, let's just say I have some real cool personas she knows Real Guud.

THE WORLD IS A HYPERSIGIL to the tune of World Is A Vampire

Anybody else wanna try to quantum dodge bullets to work this out or what
