How are you?

im good :3 hanging out with some cats and getting paid to do it. the usual

[bogunicorn]

y'all know how much this fucking embarrasses me, but the last few months have kept on being horrible and we fell behind enough that the landlord is getting pushy. my wife is getting paid today, but it'll only cover about half of what we need to be caught up. With december just around the corner and work the way it is this week, there's nothing I can personally do between now and then to make extra money in that time.

please don't feel at all obligated, and i know it's the holidays, but if you can spare anything to help, i would massively appreciate it.

My little N. ventricosa has been doing so well I got brave and ordered some more carnivores! The paler nepenthes is closely related to ventracosa and the spotty one is a ventracosa hybrid, so I’m hoping they’ll do just as well. The fly trap and purple pitcher plant will be my first try doing winter dormancy. Fingers crossed!

One of the really annoying lingering problems of gifted child syndrome is that when you were raised to believe that you should be able to do everything right the first time with no help, and punished any time you didn't meet this expectation, you grow up completely failing to grasp that things like helplines and advice services a) exist and b) won't berate or ritually humiliate you if you actually call them.

Fucking Friday Five.

I’ve got a 30 minute call at noon. Plus the small amount of work I need to get done means I might only work 1.5 - 2 hours today. If I can focus.

I’m starting to have to deal with people that are all “hurry up I need an answer”…or this one “any updates yet”. I’m all like “listen here fuck face”, and the other standard response of “it’s been two days, fuck off and check this box next week”. Corporate twats are a pain in my balls.

I really need to be more busy than I am. I end up getting lost in this monotony, and the circling indecision. Not to mention having to reschedule this call today 3 times this week, because schedules.

The fact this call doesn’t even need to happen is also pissing me way the fuck off. But no, we must pacify everyone and listen to everyone so we can circle the fucking drain on this for another fucking month.

I’m starting to get really tired of having to plot the course, steer the ship, clean up all the messes, and manage all the expectations, when I can’t tell people to fuck off and get out of my way. I was never really good at playing the role and corporate bullshit.

Not sure if this is where you want your asks to be sent or not, I'm new to your blog so sorry if this is the wrong place

There is another instruction for Wally that I haven't seen you talk about and I want to know your thoughts! Back in november, before the responses, the secret URLs (such as woxyve) had the word "delete" added to the end (ex: woxyvedelete) implying that they wanted Wally to delete the page. After this most recent update it changed again and now says nodelete meaning that Wally refused to do that task. Thoughts?

where else would asks be sent if not the Askbox! inbox! both!

i actually wasn't aware of this until a few days ago, when i saw a post pointing it out - i had never gone directly back to those pages. which serves me right! i'm gonna be double checking Everything from now on lmao

but my fucking GOD is it interesting. thus far Wally has been... fairly cooperative. he's had a moment here and there, such as closing the guest book and losing his patience a lil, but he does his best with the rest! especially with requests! so for him to straight up go "lmao nah" when asked to delete something...

characterization-wise, i think it's very telling. as of now, Wally has been commonly portrayed as a bit of a doormat - getting talked over, sitting off to the side, being a bit of a background character - in in-Home media. less so in his whrp/qa/You interactions, but he's still widely agreeable & willing. but him refusing to delete the urls gives major points to him Having A Spine. he's holding his ground. he knows what he's doing. he's not going to let the whrp shut him up. there's a Thought Process / Plan / Purpose being shown here, or at least hinted at. there's a sense of.... Control. of "this is the way we're doing things, this is what i'm saying and you're going to sit down and listen" it's just... such a shift from the Wally we see in his interactions with the neighbors. which again, lends credence to there being a time discrepancy, with whrp Wally being older and more "experienced" while past Wally is still figuring his shit [being alive] out <3

story-wise it adds some Delightful friction. like obviously there's already tension, what with the staff only page, "Let Me In", the mysterious black stuff, the guest book closing, and the whrp/qa being disturbed by it all. but Wally outright refusing to delete things is a Different sort of conflict. it's more... direct. which makes sense! his interactions with the whrp/qa are becoming more personal, too. but it lends to the feeling of a push-pull. as the whrp/qa investigates Wally and starts treating him like the person he is instead of a long-lost character, they're probably gonna clash (a lot) despite the apparent impulse to pursue Welcome Home. currently, Wally doesn't seem big on compromising. if he doesn't know what to do, it looks like he simply Won't or he'll do his own thing and be like "shrug". if he doesn't want to do something, it also looks like he simply Will Not.

of course, there's the strong possibility that the whrp Were Not Serious about it. the 'delete' command might have them testing the waters, poking the bear, etc. but then were they testing to see if Wally is there, or were they testing his level of compliance? both? a secret third option?

and if they Were serious about it... why? what is it about the marked urls that made the whrp go "get that outta here"? and why couldn't they delete it themselves? i mean, obviously they can't delete anything Wally adds, otherwise the extra stuff he's added probably wouldn't be there (unless the impulse / curiosity driving them is too strong to delete anything added). but there's still a why about it. what changed so fundamentally in the site's code - or laws of physics/reality - that made it impossible to alter Wally's additions?

it's just. i feel that there are a lot of implications in such a small interaction. it shows more than one would expect.

once again

that's called being "pagan"

and usually (but not always) also involves some worship of either the earth/animistic concepts or figures

or of at least one pagan deity

there are many kinds of pagan deities, but common ones include an earth-mother goddess with connections to bodies of water, roads and travel, protection and control over hunting and sometimes a secondary role as a Mother Of Monsters-

cas is an atheist in the very literal sense. which is that he doesn’t believe in god. like he knows god is real he just doesn’t believe in him
