[Wow. This went nowhere, fast.]

[Part of me forgot about this. The other part of me remembered and desperately wanted to return.

I never did. I'm sorry.

It'd be so cheesy for me to say it was all because of the lack of attention, but honestly, that's what it boiled down to. No one cared about it, and my passion slowly dwindled away, only enhanced by my fixation on other things and the beginning of college.

But... I don't want it to go to waste. So, I'll go ahead and put everything here for anyone who cares to read it. Spoilers for OMORI, and even more spoilers for this AU... if it even matters to anyone anymore.]

[I wanted to lean in heavily to the idea of Omori ruling Headspace and Stranger being over Blackspace, as well as little bits and pieces of detail and lore sprinkled throughout the game but not expanded on enough for my liking. I decided to paint Omori as a king and Stranger as a rogue. Looking back on that, I may regret it a little bit, as Omori was never meant to be evil, even in the base game. He's a symbol of trauma and suppression, not a tyrant.

The Blackspace variants of the Headspace team had lots of power, as each "cycle" of Sunny living through Headspace's events (as referenced in the main game) would result in the Headspace cast dying, and the Blackspace cast would absorb those levels and abilities, becoming ultimately overpowered. They never lost their fondness of Sunny, though, and only wish to help him.

Basil and Stranger were once the same entity in Headspace, but as the truth leaked in and Basil acted out for the first time, Omori separated them, leaving Stranger and all elements of truth in Blackspace. What remained of Basil was only the positive parts, but of course not everything is perfect.

Most of the story is the same, apart from Omori and Stranger being opposing forces desperately trying to recruit more people for their causes. The main differences come into the characters themselves, as well as the ending. Basil mentioned in one post that the flowers on his wings give him more energy with their photosynthesis, but in Blackspace, they can't photosynthesize because of the lack of light, so he grows weak during his time there. Stranger desperately tries to convince him to merge again, but Basil continues to refuse.

When Sunny ends up in Blackspace, Omori goes to rescue him; that proves fruitless, however, and he instead goes to Basil, who begs him for another chance. Omori essentially brainwashes Basil, now too weak to resist, and Basil goes to try to burn the photo album and the memories Sunny has with it.

From here is the major change. Either Sunny can finally take a stand for himself, stop Basil, and Omori sends him to the area in the game where he relives the trauma and memories of the truth for real. Or, Sunny isn't able to stop him and is succumbed to Headspace forever.

Even from there, things can still change. If Sunny goes to the roof at the very end, Stranger takes over Basil and goes to stop him, and they have a fight up there, ending with -- probably -- the demise of both parties. Otherwise... things are made up, and happy ending, yay.]

[That's the basics of it. I wanted to reveal all of this gradually, but... we all see how that ended up. This is so boring in comparison, but it's all I have left.

Thank you to my friends who stuck with me, even with the staggered updates and complete abandonment of this blog and story for nearly two years now. Maybe I'll come back in the future and try to continue. Who knows. For now, for those who still care, I hope you can at least appreciate what scraps there are now.]

[Goodbye, CWAU.]

it is legit bizarre to me how hard video game creators and film directors and showrunners try to pretend that fat people don't exist. can you think of the last time you saw a fat person in a lead role? god forbid a fat woman? i can walk down the street or go into a shop or restaurant and see fat people everywhere but then i switch on the tv and suddenly it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where no one has a bmi over 24. insidious and weird

Attention Pennsylvania voters!

Senator Bob Casey’s race is now at a margin of 0.53%.

An automatic recount in PA is triggered with a margin of 0.5%. That’s a difference of 0.03% or a little over 2,000 votes. We need to make sure every ballot is counted here, and there’s thousands of uncounted ballots right now due to voter error.

Did you mail in a ballot? Check to see it was accepted here:

If it says anything other than accepted/counted/etc, your ballot needs your attention. A mistake in filling it out means that your ballot will not count unless you “cure” it. Check your county’s curing policies:

See full instructions for curing by county here.

You have until November 12 to cure your ballot in PA.

Do you know someone who mailed in a PA ballot? Please pass these links on to them. You may be the difference between their vote counting or not in a super close race.

Everyone else, you can help PA voters cure their ballots. If you live in Pennsylvania, you can help canvass in your county (see links in this thread). If you are in another state, you can sign up to call voters and help them cure by phone.

Want to help another state? Sign up for a shift through November 19.

above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

I must not watch election coverage. Election coverage is the mind-killer. Election coverage is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will cast my vote. I will permit the result to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the election coverage has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -

I am fine with "the audience" -

downloading my fics

printing my fics

copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics

sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3

making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss

doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc

I am not fine with "the audience"

doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity

feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever

Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.

Enjoy the fandom things.

It's still surprising to see people say that when they see the upcoming strike post I made that this is the first time they're hearing about it, especially because I've seen several posts now talking about the same strike.

That being said: regardless of what kind of blog you are, please spread the news about the genocide, the strikes, boycotts, etc.

Even if you are a small blog, spreading word allows for more people to know what's going on and also do their part in protests and strikes, and maybe even the right people will be able to do more than what you're able to do.

And reminder: there is an upcoming strike on February 18th-25th. Prepare accordingly, protest, boycott, call your reps, and spread the word so more people are aware.
