📜🔍Welcome to the Tumblr Murder Mystery:  Who is the KILLER??🔎🕰

Hello everyone! This is Mr. Nightingale, and I'll be the Host of this thrilling game of mystery, right here, on our beloved platform!

Feel free to ask any questions you have. In this first game of Tumblr Murder Mystery, the players are....!

The Players:

@deadshowsagency

@rainbowpitofdoom

@spiteful-summer-of-sixteen

@montythehumancrow

@unknownwritersblog

@mrnightingale

Update!

The players can invite other people to join the game! Those who successfully add more detectives to the team, will receive another clue or a special artwork of their request! The more the merrier, as they say.

 

The Game:

Prepare to unravel a web of intrigue!  One of you is a cunning killer, lurking in the shadows, ready to eliminate the rest.  The rest of you are sharp-witted detectives, tasked with unmasking the killer before they claim their final victim!

How to Play:

1. The Killer: The killer will be chosen by the powers that be (aka, a random generator) and will receive a secret message.  Their mission: to eliminate players one by one by DMing "YEET!!" to them. Their first eliminated player will start the game. 

2. The Clues:  When a player is eliminated, they'll leave behind cryptic clues about the killer's identity.  Think of it as a literary puzzle, where every detail might hold a hidden meaning!

3. The Investigation:  Use your detective skills and communicate through reblogs to share your theories, deductions, and suspicions.

4. The Reblog Limit:  After 20 reblogs, the killer gets to strike again, eliminating another player.

5. The Winner: The player who correctly identifies the killer first will be crowned the next game host, taking the reins of this thrilling mystery!

Losses:

If the Killer Loses

🗡 If the killer is identified and loses: They must send the Good Omens apology dance GIF to each of the winning players and post a digital artwork created by the players where the killer looks awkward and funny while the others look good and sunshine.

🗡 Additionally, the players may create an artwork, a short story, or a collection of quotes featuring the killer. The killer must reblog this content and confirm their defeat in the game.

Or

🗡 The killer will face special punishment chosen by the winning players. (Please know that the killer may refuse punishment if it's invading their privacy. If so, do respect it and choose another punishment.)

If the Players Lose

🔍 If the players fail to identify the killer and are all eliminated:  They must provide the killer with funny memes and GIFs related to their reaction of discovering who the killer is.

Example:

Player 1: "OMG, it was [Killer's Name] all along?!  🤯" (followed by a meme of someone's jaw dropping)

Player 2: "I'm so mad, I can't even be mad.  I'm just...  😐" (followed by a meme of someone staring blankly)

Player 3: "I should have known!  You were always suspicious, [Killer's Name]!  🤬" (followed by a meme of someone realizing they've been tricked)

Important Rules:

📜 Be respectful, play fair, and help yourself for a good time!

📜 No cheating or revealing the killer's identity prematurely.

📜 Use your detective skills and work together to solve the mystery!

Killer, you may yeet your first victim. Detectives, the game is on. Thank you all for participating! Good luck!

TUMBLR DETECTIVE HOMICIDE GAME FOR MY TUMBLR FRIENDS!!

How to play:

*Before the game starts*

-We need six players. We currently found 5 but there is still no response so please comment if interested. *Update, I messaged a sixth one. But it is not officially six without response*

-A host of the game will be picked via generator.

-The host will post a poll on their blog, containing six colors, and the players must pick a color that hasn't been taken yet.

-Using the generator again, the host will eliminate colors and announce the remaining colors until we have one left.

-That player who picked the remaining color the killer. And no one knows who the killer is, not even the host.

-The killer must eliminate one member, they may decide who. They will eliminate by dm-ing "Unfortunate".

*Game starts*

-The killed will start the game by posting clues of who the killer is. It must be difficult clues. It could be their character personality alike, their favorite things to blog, anything really. As long as it is difficult.

-The killed must tag the players in the post of clues and the players will communicate through reblogs.

-Be weary of the amount of reblogs, after 25 reblogs, the killer will eliminate another player.

-If eliminated, you must also leave clues behind.

-You must find the killer before all players gets killed.

-The one to find the killer will be hosting the next game.

-If you lose, you must provide the killer with memes.

Hi, I'm struggling to worldbuild a dystopia since I normally write fantasy. I'm not sure what to include in worldbuilding. Could you help me by suggesting what you'd include in dystopia worldbuilding or link me a dystopia worldbuilding template?

sorry for the awkward phrasing!

Utuabzu: The first, and perhaps most important thing to keep in mind is that both dystopia and utopia are literary devices for critiquing current society. The most successful dystopias had something to say about the culture they were written in. 1984 was written during a period of high censorship, in WWII Britain, and couldn't be published for several years after it was finished because it was considered potentially upsetting to the USSR, which was at the time an ally of the UK. The Hunger Games was written in the 2000s as a critique of the vast amount of reality tv shows and the pointlessness of the Iraq War.

The spray of frankly forgettable YA dystopia novels written in the late 2000s-early 2010s were forgettable because while they had the aesthetic of dystopia, they didn't really have anything to say about our current world. They weren't based on anything other than 'hey, wouldn't it be messed up if-', which just doesn't stick in your head like a dystopia that takes something in our current society and follows it to its logical, awful extreme. The Handmaid's Tale works because it takes the rise of Christian Fundamentalism and its inbuilt misogyny to the logical extreme, and given current events in the US that really resonates.

You also need to consider practicalities. People can live their lives in awful situations. In every dictatorship, no matter how oppressive or dysfunctional, people were still living their lives. Oppressive régimes collapse when the citizenry is no longer able to live their lives. Specifically, when the people upholding the régime are no longer able to get by day-to-day. Revolutions, to paraphrase Victor Hugo, ultimately, are always about bread. Ideals like freedom and justice and equality are just a nice bonus.

If you want your characters to be opposed to the system, you need to ask yourself why they're against it. People don't set themselves against an all-consuming society just for fun. Not really. They might play at being a rebel if there's little real consequence, but if there's serious consequences then most people will keep quiet until the system starts failing.

Common reasons for turning against the system could be falling through the cracks and seeing the hypocrisy of the ruling ideology, being the victim of the injustices of the system, having something to gain from the régime's fall. Or they could be part of an underclass that doesn't benefit from the system in any real way but is too beaten down to resist, in which case you need to ask what made this character's life under the system unbearable, when the rest of their group's life is terrible but bearable enough.

So, my checklist would be:

What is the dystopia critiquing? What does it want to say?

How does this work in practice? What do the people upholding the system gain from this? How is the system being upheld? Why are people putting up with this?

What are the system's flaws? What hypocrisies are in the underlying ideology? Why are most people not noticing them?

Why are characters against the system? What made them turn against it?

Is the dystopia going to collapse or endure? If it's going to fail, why and how? If it's going to endure, why and how?

Tex: To compare and contrast genres a bit, let’s look at J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth series (1930s to 1960s, ish) and C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia (1940s to 1950s). These are major establishments for the modern interpretation of the fantasy genre, but also contained many dystopic elements as a part of their narrative.

Dystopia in Tolkien’s works was featured as the aftermath of terrible tragedy, and the people who lived in the times following it - the falling of great cities and civilizations brought a downfall of peace, economic stability, and certainty in the future. There are as many characters that lived in the times transitioning period that an apocalypse incurs as those who have never known the heights their world had reached in terms of prosperity.

Dystopia in Lewis’ works was used as a parallel - the main characters are children that came from a London in the middle of war and the accompanying poverty and existential fear, where the fantastical world of Narnia occupies a narrative place of distance that allows the characters to see a world equally as devastated but whose devastation occurred, comparatively, in the far past. The trauma that the characters have from living in a dystopia allows them the skills needed to navigate the fantasy world and bring about several critical plot points that allow the story to progress.

In a way, dystopia is the inverse of fantasy, where time is make-believe. The difference is that the past is perceived with different forms of wistfulness - in a fantasy it is romantic, in a dystopia it is tragic. Both are full of speculation and yearning for simpler times, but full of emotion of what could have been, and what could still be.

Because of this, there is no formula for a dystopia, as it is a genre built upon other genres that borrows others’ tropes and gives them a bit of a twist from a removed perspective.

[australet789]

I just saw your most recent ask. The one about pronouns. I myself use she/her and they them. I identify as non-binary because I don't identify with the female gender label I was assigned. But if you don't feel wholly girl/woman/female then maybe demigirl or demigender might be it?

I don't want to be like ah ha you must identify as this because you have said "I feel ____". But idk. I thought I might just send this ask thing.

Yeah maybe?

Idk, it's not something i feel like super concious all the time? Like im not thinking "yeah i identify as female" all the time. Uhm how do i word this, like, im not thinking about my gender? I just am? Unless, like previous anon, im asked about it.

So yeah maybe demigirl could be a good option but i honestly dont want to think about it rn. I, again, appreciate that you approached me and tried to help, but it's not something that im worried about, you know?

[gingerly-writing]

Hey, I've been following your blog for quite a bit now wow. I was wondering if you had any tips, prompts or anything to help me. I'm writing a story where the main character gains superpowers, usual hijinks ensue but its revealed that they were actually the villain this whole time. Even the main character doesn't realise till that point. I want to do it write and as good as you. Please help :D

tbh this request is so general I don’t really know what I can help you with? it sounds like you have a fun plot ready to go, so the only way to make it good is honestly to write it all down and then edit it as best you can! good luck <3
