#wifi sucks ass

[emmathemandelaresident]

So…Let’s talk.

I am absolutely disgusted, appalled, disappointed, and overall devastated as a hardcore Mandela Catalogue fan. I cannot believe Alex Kister would be doing such horrific actions, especially to his victims.

I absolutely love this series with all of my heart and I have been a HUGE fan of it since around August 2022. I love the lore, the characters and the atmosphere of this series.

When I heard these news on Twitter last night, I was devastated and I wanted to cry so bad because I had thought Alex Kister was an amazing talented person with a golden thumb of kindness and chillness. I began to think to myself, “Why would Alex Kister and every other content creator turn out to be horrible people?”. It’s like this is a fucking trend in every creator of their amazing work.

I am witnessing so many fans quitting their work of the series and many actors such as Ty Osborne departing from his acting work as Adam Murray. And I can definitely understand that.

What even more sucks is that there may be no more Mandela Catalogue. Which means no more Vol. 5 or Vol. 6 or any other extra episodes to dive in the lore…

I vented to my sister about this and she understood everything about this situation and that she had been through this once before (props to you, Ella). As a result, she gave me such helpful advice about this. She told me to continue loving the series just as long as you understand and acknowledge what the creator has done. But don’t focus too much on the creator, focus more on the series.

And to all of you victims that have been through this, I am deeply sorry that that has happened to you. You are loved by the entire world and you are never alone.

That being said, I wanna make a decision. I still love the series with all of my heart and I wanna continue writing the Mandela Catalogue Mirth series on Wattpad and post all of my Mandela Catalogue Mirth chapters here in Tumblr.

But with this situation in mind, this decision is hard to choose. Should I continue writing the book series on Wattpad and post all of my chapters here in Tumblr? Or should I just give up and move on to something else?

I hope you all have a fantastic week.

Here’s the link of the entire context of what Alex Kister has done:

*chuckles* john's in danger

(page 236-241)

So, Rose's area has meteorites too. This comic has the chance to do the funniest possible thing, which would be having John's countdown end in some other disaster, while the meteor strike is its own unrelated thing.

There's a couple really suspicious things in today's update. One is Rose putting her laptop onto the grimoire - it's only a few inches of elevation but there's a lot of attention drawn to it in the above very ominous panel (p.238). The other is the lab wifi network #0413 being mysteriously unsecured, almost like it was specifically set up for Rose to connect to. Are these two things connected? By putting the laptop on the grimoire is Rose making some kind of accidental warlock pact? (Or on purpose warlock pact, judging by the look on her face). And what is the lab doing with all these really powerful wifi signals, anyway? Are they doing a lot of long distance communication that needs a good signal, like, I don't know, talking to aliens? What are the 'leavings', 'scraps', and 'detritus' on Rose's desktop? What shady stuff is she up to on the computer??

For a full 28 pages (213-241) John has been not only homestuck but roomstuck, and something feels poetic about the barrier of the door being not only opened, but entirely removed. It makes me wonder if something could happen to break down the more complex boundaries keeping him homestuck (something like, I don't know, a meteor). Seeing John in his room on p.240-241 is giving me complex emotions. He's clearly spent the last minute and a half doing nothing besides kissing his posters (I bet he kissed McConaughey when we weren't looking) and trying to accept death despite the terror.

If we accept that John's bedroom door opens outwards (weird, but there's no evidence against it) then there truly is nothing he can do. Narratively it's interesting to leave the main character completely powerless and at the whims of intermittent internet signals - if this was the ending it would be really unsatisfying, but if this is setting John up for a character arc, it works great. This time he gets to yell and bash his keyboard and wait for Rose to tell him what to do, and in a few hundred pages time, it'll be so satisfying when we see John save himself.

Unrelated and from a few days ago, but I want to give a huge shoutout to p.208. Dad walking down those tiny stairs is really unintentionally funny, and it's a cool panel that shows the chaos this house has suddenly become.

Hi again! It’s no problem at all! I adore getting asks and an excuse to run through my collection of things :] as the collection of links might show, I am a HUGE Ash fan, and finding all of these videos is so much fun for me

Zam visits Ash on house arrest and helps him start building the mothership

Redd, Zam, Ash, Rek, and Pangi play blockwars

Squiddo and Ash survive in a natural disaster mod (and do weird Dan and Phil roleplay)

Mapicc starts a resturant (Ash shows up near the middle)

Bacon and Ash torment an AFK Vitalasy

A whole bunch of people make Peepees and Booger fight (lifesteal S4)

Hey! If your requests are still open, would you be cool with me throwing an OC (who's been living in my head for a while now) at you and seeing how Sage would react to her?

Because I just know, deep in my soul, it would be an absolute trainwreck and I am so morbidly curious to watch.

Oh hey! I've seen you all around the Yandere linked universe tag! So hi!

I would be open to it, I could give you a few hc and things, but for drabbles I try to keep it to x reader so everyone can enjoy them yk? But I would love to spit ball some ideas!

Be warned the last time I met someone else's oc, she became the loml so...proceed with that
