Hot fact

You can't gain an alter from hyperfixations. That ain't how it works. It is a very slim chance that if you go through a traumatic experience while having a hyperfixation that you will gain an introject. But more than often, you won't. A more common thing to introject will be your abuser. Not a Prince Stolas or an Alastor as soon as new media has come out. (This is NOT about polyfrag systems) - Vesper

Or how about you learn basic fucking respect. You go at anti-endos for using "their tags" but your dumb fuck enough to do this? Get off the internet and go back to school to learn how to be a decent person. - Vesper & Apostolis

literally just woke up one day and thought "i will spend the next few days drawing the entire cast of the infernal devices". and then i did! much time was spent looking at grainy pictures of late 1870s fashion plates.

ive been wanting to draw everyone together for a long time now so im glad i finally got to it <3 still an absolute favourite series of mine ⚙️🪽

obsessed with relationships that go deeper than just platonic or romantic. relationships that are neither and both at the same time. two people that are so closely tied to one another you cant think of them as a seperate entity and yet are not together. i feel like with most recent media they tend to pick either friendship or romance and no longer delve into this deeper dynamic and its so sad. think nana komatsu and nana osaki, james farrow and oliver marks, will herondale and jem carstairs, yue qingyuan and shen jiu, richard gansey and adam parrish, vanitas and noe archviste. Maybe there are romantic undertones, maybe there aren't , but the dynamic is so powerful you aren't able to look away

So it seems the consensus that within the fandom is that the existence of other lands (since Jalala’s introduction) suggests the possibility of there being more Sheepfolk elsewhere. Whether they are in other lands natively or seeking refuge is unclear in my mind but in the Lands of the Old Faith there seems to be a limited number of species that inhabit it (obvs this is due to the devs not being to put in Every Single Animal Ever), but in-verse I think it’s most likely due to the Lands of the Old Faith being cut off from the rest of the world (so says the Fanatic’s lore tablets).

If there are sheep elsewhere, I wonder if they have heard about the Lamb. Like, I wonder how fast news would travel from the Lands of the Old Faith to the outside continents—or if there is any news at all coming out. Plimbo actively trading at the port with outsiders suggests there would be an exchange of not only goods, but information. How muddied up this information is probably varies! What sort of rumors does the outside world hear…but anyways.

I wonder what the Outside Sheepfolk would think of the Lamb and what they’ve become. I headcanon them as largely pacifist semi-nomads / pastoralists, with the exception of Guardian societal roles (Sheep who are both physically strong but shrewd in civil affairs), so unnecessary violence is both vulgar and (religiously) discouraged. Would the Lamb too wonder how they would be viewed by outside Sheepfolk if they ever discovered they existed? Would they accept the Lamb into their communities after all they’ve heard? Would the Lamb, yet again, be alienated in this world? much 2 think about

Endogenics don't belong in systempunk. Its for systems with TRAUMA. Not someone who's roleplaying a life changing disorder - Vayu

[august-zip]

You are actually fucked. And we mean quite literally FUCKED IN THE HEAD. get a fucking grip on life and go get some goddam help because you need it.

What else I'm going to take from you...

Just sending this message to anti-endos who are upset at me taking your systempunk tag...

There's so much more I can take. So much more I'm going to.

Your tags... your anti-endo safe spaces... these are only the beginning, you know?

I'm coming after your Fandoms. The places where your introjects are sourced from. I'm targeting your religions, subverting your theology to our own ends! I'm coming after anyone who still supports your hate in LGBT communities!

And I'm coming for your friends and family, everyone who has ever made the mistake of loving you.

Everyone under the misguided notion you might be a decent person.

My goal is not to convince you to change your mind and be less of a bigot. I might as well argue with a wall to convince it to move. My goal is to spread my message far and wide so that it reaches the people who love you most, the ones who held you in your darkest hours, so that they will wake up and realize what an awful bigoted piece of garbage you are.

Don't worry though. Your pro-endo therapists will still pretend to support you like they have been as long as your money is green.

And you can go ahead and block me if you want. That's your go-to move, isn't it? Just plug your ears and hide.

But all it actually will do is make you more blindsided. It ensures my work in spreading my message will be invisible to your little hate group.

And when another server kicks you or another friend leaves and abandons you, you won't even know why. Because locking yourselves in echo chambers is a weakness. Your willful ignorance only makes you more vulnerable.

As long as I'm alive, I will do my best to ensure that there will be no safe space for hate against endogenic and pro-endo systems.

You all have the day you deserve!

THE PILE PRESENTS: GameSpot TV - New Year's Special (1/1/00)

With highlights of some excellent games from the previous century, as well as some that should've stayed in the development room!

(4GTV - WATCH NOW!)

[infernal-lamb]

honestly speaking of, I do genuinely love the official + semi-official characterizations of the Lamb in official/promotional art and collaborations w/other games (monster road trip for ex) because they have no hesitation in showing “hey. The lamb? Yeah that little dude commits absolute heinous abuses of power and has no qualms about it while also being very weird and off-putting in nature. And You Will Love Them” and I’m just like damn ok. I guess I will love them! :-) ❤️

this day could not get any worse

After nearly four years of construction at an estimated cost of 750 million souls, Corpadverticus, the new 10th circle of Hell, finally opened its doors Monday.

The Blockbuster Video-sponsored circle, located in Nether Hell between the former eighth and ninth levels of Malebolge and Cocytus, is expected to greatly alleviate the overcrowding problems that have plagued the infernal underworld in recent years. The circle is the first added to Hell in its countless-millennia history.

“A nightmarishly large glut of condemned spirits in recent years necessitated the expansion of Hell,” inferno spokesperson Antedeus said. “The traditional nine-tiered system had grown insufficient to accommodate the exponentially rising numbers of Hellbound.”

System things is thinking of something to tell your therapist but as soon as you start the session your gatekeeper holds the thought or memory so you can't say anything because you don't remember it and as soon as you leave the session its given back to you. - Vayu

Bucky’s jaw clenched as his ringtone went off a second time. He had let it go to voicemail the first time, pointedly glaring at both Sam and Dr. Raynor. The psychologist simply quirked an eyebrow in his direction, tapping her pen against that infernal notebook.

Sam, however, seized the opportunity to continue being the biggest pain in Bucky’s ass. “You gonna answer that, man?”

“No.”

“I think you should answer it, James,” came the doctor’s infuriatingly calm tone.

Bucky ground his teeth together, reaching for his phone, slammed it on the table, and declined the call.

Dr. Raynor didn’t seem to understand the gravity of that simple action, but Sam and Bucky tensed up immediately. Bucky pinched the bridge of his nose instantly in regret. Sam’s mouth hung open, ready to catch the next fly that hatched within the room.

“You did not-“

“I did.”

“She’s gonna kill you.”

“I know.” Bucky groaned, a timidness in his voice. His vibranium arm whirred as it clenched into a fist, the sound of metal grinding against metal echoing in the emptiness of the interrogation room. Dr. Raynor had a puzzled look, her eyes glancing between the two men sat across the table.

“Alright, what’s going on here? Who is ‘she’, James?” She asked, her tone dropping from ‘therapist’ to ‘confused veteran’ in that instant.

Sam once again gaped, his eyes rapidly going back and forth between the other two in the room, as if he just figured out the murderer in Clue. His finger pointed accusingly at Bucky, “You didn’t tell her?!”

“No shit! Of course I didn’t tell her!” Bucky whisper-yelled, exasperated.

“���Her’ is sitting right here, and would like an explanation, James.”

Bucky groaned again, covering his face with both hands and slouching back in his chair, defeated.

“It’s my-“ “It’s his-“

Sam and Bucky started at the same time, but both were cut off by the sound of ringing, for the third time. Both of their heads slowly turned towards the phone on the table, and then to each other. The fear on both their faces was evident, knowing who was on the other end of the call. Bucky slowly reached for the phone and flipped it open, hesitantly pressing the green ‘answer’ key, and bringing the device to his ear.

“Put me on speaker.” Came the dreaded voice, nearly shocking his entire system. He pulled the device away from his ear, nervously complying.

“Hello, Sam.”

Sam swallowed audibly, and Bucky cursed silently. Sam replied with a greeting and your name, his voice wavering with barely concealed fear. Dr. Raynor simply watched on with intrigue.

“James Buchanan Barnes, I’m giving you sixty seconds to meet me at the precinct doors. You will join us, Sam.”

“Yes, ma’am,” both men answered, immediately scrambling to get out the room as quickly as possible as soon as they heard the click of the line going dead. Dr. Raynor long forgotten, both men disrupted the chaos of the precinct as they hauled ass to get to the doors as quickly as possible.

Of course, John Walker and his weirdly named sidekick stood in their way.

“Move.” Bucky growled, not wanting to use excessive force to move Walker himself in the middle of a police precinct. That would look very bad on his pardon record.

Of course, Walker had continued to try and talk to the two, effectively wasting their time without knowing what lay in wait past him.

That was, until one of the doors behind him slammed into the wall, creating a dent. Bucky and Sam cringed, leaning to peer behind Walker.

There you were, stood in the doorway, one arm outstretched to hold the door open. Your face was still and emotionless, but Bucky could see the scathing anger in your eyes. He made to walk towards you, but watched with curiosity as John Walker beat him to it.

Oh, this is gonna be good.

For the first time since seeing each other again, him and Sam agreed. They almost forgot that they were the ones in the hot seat when you turned your glare over to Walker.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

Your face turned into a sneer. “Who are you?” You reflected back, clearly not in the mood to interact with the man in the weird patriotic get-up.

“John Walker, Captain America, ma’am,” he announced, flashing you that practiced grin. It faltered a little when your expression only seemed to harden. Bucky had to hide his face behind his hand to prevent himself from laughing. Sam looked down, biting his lip, but his sly grin was clear as day.

“You’ll be Captain John Doe in a second if you don’t get the fuck out of my way.” You hissed, your hands clenching and unclenching by your sides like you were warming up the muscles.

Walker blinked, suddenly unsure of himself. He looked over to Lemar Hoskins.

“Did she just…”

“Threaten a government agent? Yeah, I think she did,” Hoskins replied.

Bucky finally decided to intervene before you did something rash. “As fun as it would be to watch her make your face unrecognizable, I think we should be going,” he nodded his head towards Sam, signaling him along.

“You know her, Barnes?”

“I would hope so. I’ve been married to her for 11 years.” *

Your left hand came up to press against his stubbled cheek, and he could feel the cold press of your ring against his skin. He kissed the inside of your palm gently, looking down at you. Your gaze softened considerably once you had him close. It made his heart ache, knowing that he had kept something from you and this was how you found out.

“James?”

“Yes, baby?”

“Get inside the car before I personally deliver you to the nearest Hydra cell.”

He shivered. “Yes, ma’am.”

As Bucky promptly made his way out, you pointed a finger at Sam, making a ‘come hither’ motion. He followed quickly, keeping his head down as a precaution. He couldn’t sweet talk his way out like Bucky could.

John Walker was left stupefied, and more-so unwilling to believe two things:

Bucky Barnes was married.

Bucky Barnes was married, and there was no record of it that had showed up when he was digging into his past.

So, either he lied (which was improbable given what just occurred), or you were the hardest woman to track on Planet Earth.

He was determined to find out who you were.

*You married Bucky in Romania pre-the events of CA:CW. You had been together as assets but only married once you were both free. 11 years comes from the years difference between CA:TWS and FATWS + 5 years for Blip. If this math is wrong, let me know!
