#vee don't look

[hapigairu]

Various Mistborn Era 2-related questions I've been having instead of being productive (and because wob is too overwhelming for my extremely limited brain):

During a trial, would the participants be required to wear something to prevent them from being allomantically influenced? (Obviously, making sure no Rioter or Soother is allowed or, should their presence be  required, that they don't have any metal to burn would be the first thing to do, but better be safe than sorry and all that jazz)

Would people with x allomantic or feruchemical power be barred from exercising certain professions due to said ability? 

Can a Speedrunner accelerate the movement of a particular area of their body such as their hands? If so, what would this mean for a Steelrunner who's also a musician? Would their being a Steelrunner make it very difficult for them to become a professional musician?

And how amazing would seeing a play (or an opera) be in this world? But also, would an actor with x power be typecast in the same kind of roles despite their wish to broaden their horizon?

What would sports competitions look like? And what kind of sports could be practised in general?

And... that's it for now?

ok so i have established something, to settle the debate in the tpc and gd fandoms:

cube x cubic is fine. they're basically headmates. in-system smooching is fine.

obscurity x octocube tho? you're shipping someone with fluctuating feelings of love/hatred/anxiety with their own source. and to that i say: shipping isn't about why, it's about why not! why not ship obscurity with their own damned source! (also i doubt any gd creators really give a shit about shipping discourse tbh).

The Hazbin Hotel does one of those "Hear me out" cakes

It starts when Niffty tells Charlie and Vaggie that everyone baked a cake

Vaggie can't help but be suspicious but Charlie is super excited that everyone was hanging out together

They get to the kitchen where Angel Dust, Sir Pentious, and surprisingly Husk and Cherri Bomb are sitting around the table. Niffty goes to join them.

Charlie gets a knife and goes to cut the cake but Angel stops her and says that the cake isn't done

Charlie and Vaggie glance at each other and then at the cake. It looked done. It was baked and frosted and even covered in what looked like cinnamon.

Angel smirks "Hear me out" he sticks a picture of Lucifer in the cake

Charlie and Vaggie gape at him but the others nod and mumble their agreement

Cherri goes next "Hear me out" another picture of Lucifer is stuck into the cake

Niffty cackles "Hear me out" Another. Picture. Of. Lucifer

"Guys" Charlie whispers "That's my father"

Pentious flushes "Hear me out"

Vaggie narrows her eye "You're better than this"

Apparently he's not because another picture of Lucifer is on the cake

The group at the table looks at Husk expectantly. He sighs. Charlie and Vaggie shake their heads with pleading expressions. Another picture of Lucifer is stuck on the cake.

Everyone thinks it's over but then Alastor appears in the room via shadows and places another picture of Lucifer on it before disappearing again

Charlie shrieks

Everyones shock is broken when Niffty places another picture on the cake "Guys hear me out"

Vaggie takes one look at the picture of Adam, scoops Charlie into her arms, and leaves

They can still hear everyone's laughter from their room

Bonus:

Later Lucifer walks into the kitchen to see a half eaten cake with six pictures of him and one of Adam. He's confused but at least it tasted good. It was apple cinnamon. His favorite.

i got bamboozled into that catboy game (i will never make a catboy)

[originalaccountname]

can i ask about the chuuya related stuff on the bingo?

(also hasn’t the chuuyas OG ability theory already been proven in sb or am i remembering it wrong)

the bingo

The bingo was made as a compilation of theories/speculations me and @videogamelover99 discussed! I may answer most of them

The "Chuuya's original ability" was included because while I fully believe in it being true and as the author intended, some people do not. It was included in the bingo as "perhaps it will be of use later", with very low expectations.

Chuuya owes Ango for something, as he said so in both Dead Apple and Gaiden (but refuses to provide context). The whole debt thing is probably in reference to the irl authors' shared history; they drank together and fought and stuff, I forget all the details. Sadly it's been too long since we came up with this specific bingo and I forgot what this one was. All I could find again was "Chuuya's debt to Ango was about getting records of his friends that died in DHC", so I guess it was about Chuuya asking Ango, who was at the time cataloguing all the dead PM members' identities so they wouldn't become numbers on a list, something about the friends he had just lost.

"Mori being behind Arahabaki", "Chuuya turning on Mori" and "Mori and Chuuya's real dad were pals" are all ideas that bounced off each other, but could happen independently. They came from this instagram post about the origin of irl Chuuya's name. irl Chuuya's father was a doctor in the army that worked under irl Mori (see the instagram post); plus, another man that worked under Mori with him was a certain Nakamura. He could be the inspiration behind SB's professor N.

bsd Mori had a leading role during the war on how to use abilities as weapons, his pet project being the Immortal Regimen with Yosano. At the same time, N was responsible for Project Arahabaki, the study of singularities to be used as weapons. That their paths never crossed would be very surprising, their fields being so similar. From that one photograph of kid Chuuya in SB, we can see that N knew Chuuya before being in the lab, and the epilogue revealed Chuuya's dad to be an ex-military doctor. Bringing back the Mori-Nakahara-Nakamura trio from earlier, it seems likely they would all know each other on some level (though, with bsd's habit of inverting dynamics, Mori probably wouldn't be everyone's boss here).

From there, our theories split: Vee envisioned a situation where Mori was the one to point Chuuya out to N through their shared connection, making the project take form (as the initial ability to create a singularity was hard to find), while I preferred a scenario where Mori knew about N's ideas, but was busy with his own stuff. They both result in Mori seeing the King of the Sheep in Yokohama with his gravity manipulation almost a decade later and going "HUH."

Chuuya turning on Mori could happen in a few different ways, but it was originally meant to be a response to Chuuya finding out about Mori's relative implication with project Arahabaki. But, no matter the shape it could take, it would need to come from broken trust between them, much like Dazai's was with Oda's sacrifice.

Hey folks, got another something to consider here, especially in regards to the safety of minors in adult spaces.

Let me preface:

I started off with having computer access as early as 4 years old. Granted, it was purely on the children's games my parents would set up for me on the living room computer, and I didn't even know how to click because all the games required was you hovering over your choice with your cursor.

However, because I was thick in the nest of neglect- what with one of my parents working constant, back-to-back overtime, the other unable to give a damn- this set me up for catastrophe.

To play Devil's Advocate, both of my parents were immigrants who still, to this day, struggle with their own Internet usage because they just don't understand the severe consequences and ramifications of putting things online. Their home cultures didn't even HAVE the kind of tech Americans in the 70s-90s had, due to war, poverty, and manipulated economy.

It was only when they immigrated that they realized computers weren't exclusively for Westerners, and for the few scientists/politicians in their countries lucky enough to be entrusted.

However, there is no denying that, without parental supervision nor adult attention, I sought out what I needed elsewhere. What was more convenient than having that at the push of a button?

Just like them, I didn't know better.

Unlike them, it was because I was a child.

Because I was a child, unfortunately, I was ripe for the picking. You name it, I lived it. All the way down to almost being trafficked, by the same person who had been thick in primary school when I wasn't even born yet.

Thankfully, times are different now, and awareness of these issues has never been more prevalent. There are helplines, in-school education on Internet safety and abuse, and then some.

In addition, many adults- myself included- don't feel comfortable engaging in minor-targeted spaces, let alone with minors period.

Whether it's out of respect, out of traumatic experience, or other reasons, it doesn't matter as long as it isn't a harmful one (i.e "I hate kids", which yes, IS considerably harmful, as someone who heard such constantly as a child and thus felt less safe to tell adults about the abuse).

This leaves us adults to create our own spaces, where we often do and say things that are adult-oriented. Again, this is perfectly fine, as long as there is no harm coming from it.

What is not fine is how- despite the abundance of awareness and caution- there are minors who will sadly undergo a repeat of the cycle in our spaces. All despite the prevalent messaging of "keep minors out of adult spaces," and how many of us adults have some form of "Minors DNI" on our pages.

Again, having been there myself, I completely understand that neglect of ANY kind can make one look to the outside world instead of further into their unreliable inside group. Being alone, or even isolated/sheltered, is an inherently anti-social experience that our social animal brains cannot handle without succumbing to dissociation, "acting out," etc.

As children especially, we are wired to rely on adult attention for survival, and we do experience extreme psychological distress when that necessity isn't met.

Nevertheless, it truly is imperative for minors to understand the following:

Adults on the Internet will NEVER be a safe replacement for your own parents, families, guardians, teachers, etc.

Even if an adult is well-intentioned and otherwise on their best behaviour, there is no guarantee that their friends are the same. Digital abuse can, and does, often start by proxy, especially in fandoms.

We created these adult spaces to keep YOU safe. It is not an exclusive club that we are gatekeeping you from. You can join of your own accord once you're 18 or over.

This isn't to victim blame, nor to shame minors for seeking out what they should have been given since they were born.

There is a reason why it's up to adults to check ages, to make sure their age-restricted servers are watertight (which they never can be, so long as someone out there is being dishonest about their age/ID), and to avoid privately messaging minors period.

All the same, it's also up to minors to learn how to keep themselves safe. Not to the point of paranoia- you too will be an adult one day- but to the point of being able to protect yourself as both child and adult.

After all, predation doesn't stop once a fawn has grown into a deer, and adult protective services exist for good reason.

So, instead, minors ought to:

Seek out well-moderated spaces that are curated for minors with the safety of minors in mind (note: avoid self-proclaimed youth cults like the plague).

Learn what makes a safe friend and an unsafe one (i.e learn about the signs of abuse).

Never be afraid to block anyone who gives you The Ick (i.e gut feeling), especially if they're an adult or otherwise age ambiguous.

If someone makes you feel unsafe, tell a moderator ASAP, or simply block + report them. If you aren't taken seriously, escalate to their supervisor, and even go straight to the top if need be.

And 5., the most important:

If someone has committed a crime against you, DO NOT POST IT ONLINE, EVEN TO WARN OTHERS. REPORT TO YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY ASAP.

If you do so and THEN go to the authorities, you will either not be taken seriously due to perceived ulterior motives on your part (ex. your post gaining significant external attention), or you could get into legal trouble yourself if failure to report and/or smear laws exist in your country.

As well, if you do report it- whether or not you're taken seriously, they have to make a case file by law and you must enforce your right to as much- the authorities will pick up on the pattern if ANOTHER victim makes their own report, and will hopefully escalate the situation then.

You can still denounce the actions and inactions of your local authorities, and use their services in a time of duress because they are the ONLY authority that has the resources to do something about it. You are not a hypocrite for keeping yourself safe and alive, and it's not your fault that alternative options do not exist.

-

Though it always is up to adults to be responsible around minors, only YOU can curate your own Internet experience.

The block button is your bestest friend.

Use it well and use it often.

Cheers, thanks for reading, and be safe. 💜
