I'll ask the same question here. Which one is your favorite?

The language part (ie the Main Actual Game) of Chants of Sennaar is very fun don't get me wrong - figuring out when a radical means person, or signifies a verb, etc etc - but the number system is absolutely fascinating

Another Cowboy Moodboard for a member of the Easy Ranch, James "Moe" Alley.

...let's just say he's tired of all the bullshit, and would rather be a cowboy. And really, who can blame him?

anyone else on desktop trying out this Patio thing? it takes some getting used to but it did always bug me how little of the horizontal page space the default dashboard uses

*A small slugcat like creature enters SPOL's chamber. It possesses an abnormally long and thin tail with fin-like frills along the edge. Its skin appears smooth and sleek, but closer inspection reveals a multitude of small yet durable scales. There is no doubt that while originally suited for the ocean, its adaptations have offered it a unique advantage against the heavy downpours.*

*Already possessing the mark of communication, it looks at you expectantly.*

*SPOL, upon noticing the slugcat, turns to face it. She eyes the creature up and down inquisitively before deciding to get closer and converse.*

"Ah, here you are, at long last. What a peculiar little...thing, you are. I can only assume you to be Guiding Star's messenger, afterall I am not expecting any other guests. In that case, you must know already what is that I want from you."

*After all of that, she holds out one open hand towards the slugcat while holding up a purple data pearl with the other, in clear view.*

Four's Thoughts and Advice - 07.01.2025

Holy shit it's another year... Uhm, cool? Feels weird that I'm turning what, 17 this year? What the fuck? I don't think I even have a birthday, I just celebrate when I formed to be honest. All I know is my birthday used to be some time in summer, now it's in July (I like to say July 4th). It feels quite strange that I'm going to be an adult soon. Or maybe what happened to Lege will happen to me and I'll stop aging at a random point in time. He's 19 but says he hasn't aged in like... 3 years now? 4? So he's technically about 22/23 if he actually aged normally.

Anyway, hi, how are you guys doing? Have you been taking care of yourselves? I've admittedly not been too great over the past few months, but all is currently fine because Legend is making attempts to smother me to sleep like Sky does (he's failing kinda bad at it tbh, he hasn't got the pure muscle weight Sky does). It's been snowing lately over here so I want to eventually have the chance to mess around in it for a while. I know Wild did, bit jealous, but I don't envy him right now since he's looking after the baby of the system. I mean, he wants to and is clinging to her for dear life, but I'm not amazing with kids so I'd rather leave the experts to it.

I've been wanting to journal more for the system but I've become quite self-conscious about my handwriting, and generally the pains in the body's hands are not in the slightest pleasant. I used to journal literally anything and everything but recently, I just haven't had the energy to do it with everything going on in my head. I might do it anyway but to get back into journaling and help the system keep track of things that happen.

In our system, we have me and five other alters who come from similar sources. Those five other alters are Red, Blue, Green, Vio, and Shadow, who you've probably seen chatting around on here. Prior to Christmas 2024, I was always quite unnerved by being around them since those five are essentially a younger me (/us? I'm still figuring out if I have a subsystem) and I always was quite melancholic due to them being able to have their Shadow while I could not have mine. I didn't like fronting for a while because one of them would seemingly always be there and it made me upset.

Then when Christmas happened, a lot of people in our system gathered into front to celebrate and a lot of people who wouldn't usually talk or interact away from their own little isolated groups mingled with one another. And that day, Red started up a conversation with me, and despite knowing how my own Red is/was, I still couldn't resist talking to him because I don't want to see him upset. From there, me and those younger Colours have taken on a sort of brotherly friendship. I warmed up to them a lot over Christmas and I act like an older brother to them seeing as I'm unique in knowing their pasts and have experience with my own, older versions of them. I won't lie, seeing Shadow still makes me cry.

Ever looked at someone and thought "I would like to kill that man."? Me too. Know I am feeling that exact same emotion from somewhere within my body every second of the day. I am killing that man for you inside my head for you. For you.

I still never get used to technology but I'm very tempted to watch Inside Out. I keep hearing people talk about it in regards to how systems with DID feel and I want to be able to know what people are talking about and be able to engage with my own community. I've seen the same for movies such as Split and Moonknight and I just don't want to feel so clueless and left out of the loop on knowledge I feel like I should have again.

#OTD in 1919 – Dan Breen and Seán Treacy rescue their comrade Seán Hogan from a Dublin-Cork train at Knocklong, Co Limerick; two policemen guarding him are killed.

In one of the most dramatic events in the Irish War of Independence, a handcuffed young Tipperary volunteer, Seán Hogan, was rescued from a train while sat between four armed members of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC). Two RIC were killed in the attack and a number of the volunteers wounded. The rescue was undertaken by three of Hogan’s comrades from the Third Tipperary Brigade of the IRA and…

i wish my dashboard was four columns, this single thing is fucking tiring

Lately during work I've been playing Backyardigans episodes in the background and its been really fun — I've gotten through most of season one so far — but also I've had to restrain myself multiple times from making a spreadsheet about it, lmao. It would be pretty cool, though! I have quite a few ideas for what data to collect…

Regardless, its been a nice trip down memory lane! This show was one of the first things i remember really being "obsessed" with; it might have been late elementary school/early middle school, maybe? I used to scour the library for DVDs all the time, determined to watch all 80 episodes of it even though I'd been pretty sure I was too old for the show, haha

Review of The Fifth Column and Four Stories of the Spanish Civil War

honestly meh. i thought some aspects of the play were pretty comical. for one he wrote the manager of the hotel as being able to speak english but doing so using syntax and ways of speaking which was fun to read.

but honestly it made madrid sound so flat. i was excited to read the play and the short stories because i love madrid and all of the stuff he wrote is in this book is set there, but there was no life or culture behind what he was writing at all. Honestly, there were only one or two spanish characters. These stories and the play easily could've taken place in any other city. I do think that that is an important part of a work. If you are choosing a setting, it needs to make sense. it is almost like he just decided that the civil war would be a good backdrop for his stories and then didn't engage with the setting.

[COMMUNICATIONS REQUEST] [GUIDING STAR] - [SIMPLE PILE OF LEAVES]

Hello? I was told your facility possesses a functional bio-engineering laboratory and I'd like your help with designing a purposed organism.

SPOL: ...Who was it. Who told you anything about me? And I'd say most importantly: who are you? I thought I made it clear to those two I wanted to be left alone. But oh, no sense complaining about them now. Are you not aware of the impact purposed organisms can have on the ecosystem? You better have a good reason for presenting such a bold request.
