While laying around and being hot and fat all day sounds fun, I know that I'd get depressed really quick. How do you keep yourself occupied outside of content creation? Do you get out much?

ok tbf i am really good at laying around being hot and fat! definitely a homebody w a penchant for general consumption (food, video games, weed, tv, long wikipedia articles).

ur right though, the existential anxiety caught up with me a while ago, and now for more meaningful fulfillment, i rehabilitate & foster kittens ☺️

In the scene where the boys are biking with Holly, I hope Mike and Holly start talking about El so that Holly can be like, “Will, why don’t you have a girlfriend?” and Will can be totally taken by surprise and give some slightly odd, contrived answer that Doesn’t Sound Quite Right so that the alarms can finally sound off in Mike Wheeler’s brain.

TDFheads, want your opinions.

So the map from the game I think was using a more vague model of Neopia before Brightvale was added to the world map. TDF came out in 2005 and the Neopia map was updated in 2006.

In the game, Sophie lives in the Werelupe Woods, despite her title literally being Swamp Witch, so you would expect her to be closer to Bogshot.

In Tale of Woe, Sophie is pretty explicitly placed in a swamp somewhere in Haunted Woods.

Now, assuming that the TDF map is SOMEWHAT accurate though maybe not exact, do we think it is possible that Werelupe Woods/Bogshot are actually part of Haunted Woods territory even though the map is explicitly labeled "Kingdoms of Brightvale and Meridell"?

In the official canon map, Brightvale is close-ish to Haunted Woods, so it could be that Werelupe Woods and Bogshot are somewhere between Brightvale and Haunted Woods?

All of this is to ask: do we think that Sophie could possibly exist anywhere near Bogshot swamp?

I remember seeing a post recently where it was being discussed that she was immune to the Darkest Faerie's influence because she was in Werelupe Woods. Because she is somewhat of a neutral character, do we think it's possible that she relocated to Werelupe Woods temporarily because she somehow caught wind of the Werelupe King's deal with TDF and wanted to take advantage of it, but would normally be found somewhere out in the swamp?

We know from Neopedia that she definitely lives in a swamp *in Haunted Woods*, so if we consider Bogshot to be part of Brightvale and not Haunted Woods, then I don't think it would be possible for this to be canon. But as far as I can tell, Bogshot is already not really canon, and the in-game map is DEFINITELY not canon when compared to the live map. The official game lore says Bogshot is "north of Brightvale" but it also implies that Brightvale is east of Meridell and that appears to not be officially true, so we could maybe conclude that the residents just misdrew their maps based on a limited amount of information and misjudged the cardinal directions? 🤔 (or just consider it retconned since it's pretty inaccurate)

But yeah, feel free to weigh in. I really like Bogshot, I think it's a quaint little swamp town, and I like the idea of Sophie's home being somewhere in the Bogshot Swamp even if not in the village of Bogshot itself (I think she would be too much of a loner to live that close to other people)

Edit: To be clear, I can choose to believe this and headcanon it all I want of course, but if suddenly Bogshot were turned into a real location and were placed near Haunted Woods and Sophie's lore were updated to claim that she lived near Bogshot in the Haunted Woods, would that be TOO retconny based on what we know about Bogshot's lore from the game that it is closer to Brightvale?

Re: my last post about how the yearly "do you guys listen to any black people" spotify wrapped song and dance is tired, I still would like people to know more about black music in general.

Here are some papers, a couple videos, and articles about the music itself that I think present interesting points of view or are a good jumping-off point to actually learning something beyond performative consumption. for those who are actually curious:

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

So fucked up that obimaul is a rarepair. What do you mean not everyone is obsessed with enemies to lovers with a Force connection, where one side is completely obsessed with the other who barely acknowledges him (but is just as affected)

[kradljivac-kostiju]

imagine commenting on a post of a meme about the heatwaves people in the balkans have been experiencing for the past... weeks?? with shit like this. And the previous comment of theirs was "what's stopping you from getting an AC?" maybe living in poverty??? that unfortunately a lot of balkan people are living in???? in a place where having an AC does not come with the house all the time????? of course, the person commenting is... you guessed it, american

...Hey so like. Who's J's admin now?

We know that the disassembly drones' previous admin was Cyn. I personally think Cyn and the Solver are two separate entities, and I have reason to believe that's true for a few reasons, but That's a later rant. Let's assume Cyn herself (≠ Solver) has 0 control over the drones and is only listed as their admin because the Solver's primary host was Cyn, who was completely unresponsive on her own. But now the Solver's primary host is Uzi, who is still VERY MUCH responsive on her own. Now, N and V were already changed to have Uzi as their admin by Uzi's own hand. But... did J's admin also change due to the host switch?

Basically. Prior primary Solver host = Cyn, Cyn = DD admin, [EP. 8 OCCURS], Cyn is destroyed, Uzi = current primary Solver host, Uzi = DD admin???? And if so. You guys think J experienced any significant change?

I think we have enough evidence to conclude that J didn't LOVE being a suck-up to the Solver, she did it to gain better circumstance and maybe to protect herself from getting hurt because people above her have only ever hurt her COUGH sorry that's a later post as well but anyway, it's likely it was either threatening her or just generally being a dick. Suddenly the space in her head where there was previously a manipulative threatening asshole is clear because the Solver is being actively reigned in by Uzi. It makes me wonder, if my theory is right... would J head to the outpost to get some answers? Possibly even closure?

Even if she didn't/doesn't, it's interesting to me to imagine J's reaction to suddenly having a new admin - and knowing her, I'm pretty damn sure she'd notice pretty quick. I imagine she's not exactly fond of not knowing everything about her own systems... y'know, to ensure efficiency remains maximized! Yeah...

Also also just a little extra thought about this - Cyn's heart was destroyed, effectively destroying Cyn, who we can assume was J's admin, yeah? We cool on that? Okay so take this next bit with a grain of salt as I'm no computer girly and know nothing about how this works, BUT, if she suddenly loses the piece of code/program she was dependent on for normal operation, would that not lead to her Error 606ing somewhere? Which we know didn't happen because we see her up and active in the post credits, and also, typically when/if the Solver fully takes over, it goes to constitute its material (eldritch) form, right? So J HAS to have an admin, and I only see one drone as a possible candidate. But, just a little ramble for you on this fine Thursday afternoon. Food for thought, if you will. Or oil. Whatever it is you consume <3
